Back Bay Plastic Surgery

Dr. Del Vecchio at Back Bay Plastic Surgery is the best in Boston!! I conducted months of research and had multiple consultations, also with highly recommended surgeons, before deciding to have my breast augmentation done by Dr. Del Vecchio. Based on his educational background, client recommendations, personal references, and before / after results on the Back Bay Plastic Surgery web site, I knew that he was the perfect surgeon for me. In addition to his written resume, multiple contacts of mine in the medical field also recommended his work stating it?s ?exceptional?. After a serious review, I booked a consultation.

The office was able to book my consult within a few days. It?s conveniently located in a private building on Newbury Street. The entire staff is beyond excellent!! My consult consisted of an exam then personal conversation with the doctor to review his opinion, process, and costs. I knew right there and then that I wanted to book my procedure with him. However, my request was somewhat unique. I had a vacation booked three weeks from my consult. The Doctor and office scrambled to schedule my surgery within three days!

My surgery was quick and seamless. The pre and post operative appointments were easily scheduled; all of my questions were answered during that time. I?m a thorough person so I tend to ask many questions. Never once did I feel as though I was a burden.

My breast augmentation changed my life. I?m a 5?1 petite woman. I went from a size A to small C. Shopping for clothes is exciting! Wearing a bathing suit is no longer stressful. Everything fits perfectly, as it should. My figure feels in proportion, sexy, and natural. I couldn?t be more pleased with the results!!! It?s now two months after surgery and my breasts look incredibly natural. My procedure has given a handful of my friends the courage to learn more about breast augmentation. They too are meeting with Dr. Del Vecchio to learn more about their options.

Dr. Del Vecchio?s work is art! It?s amazing. This procedure was one of the best choices in my life and the results are beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I knew that my end results were dependent upon the surgeon I chose. Thankfully, I couldn?t be happier with my decision!

Pros: Amazing results, convenient location, excellent staff

This was my first surgery. Had lost about l70 lbs and had a lot of loose skin. Had a tummy tuck and a thigh plasty. My confidence level has had an absolute change for the better. For the first time I wore a bathing suit without a wrap to cover my legs which were pleated and hanging. What a gift. At age 66 I look and feel like a 50 year old. Thank you Dr D for my new fountain of youth. Am looking forward to my next body improvement. lol Mimi

Pros: Relates well. Fantastic results and very caring.

Cons: Can't think of any

This was my 2nd surgery. The first time I had breast augmentation was in California. For the most part I was happy with my results but I wanted more cleavage as my breasts acted as opposing forces never to touch for fear of who knows what (looking good?!?!)! Additionally, part of my ribcage protrudes unilaterally... so without any cleavage to cover this, it looked funny (even with big breasts). Dr. Del Vecchio did an amazing job! My breasts actually touch now when I wear a push-up bra AND he recommended I switch from saline to silicone so -bonus!- my breasts feel 100% more natural than before. I am very pleased with this procedure (as is my hubby!). You can't see my deformity anymore and I'm loving it!

The office on Newbury is very nice and the staff is professional and discreet. Dr. Del Vecchio spent a lot of time during my consultation and took careful note of my special situation. He came up with several ideas on how to achieve a satisfactory end result and never hesitated to assure me that I could contact him with any further questions.

The only recommendation or tip I would have is to send flowers while the patients are recovering. My last surgeon did this and I thought it was a nice touch!

Pros: An excellent surgeon - very good clinically... and isn't this why you would choose him?

Cons: He did introduce himself to me twice and it's clear he doesn't review his charts before speaking with you... you need to remind him of your case each time.

I'am so glad I picked Dr del vecchio as my sergeon. He gave me a breast lift and the results were amazing!After so much research and so many consultations I knew he was the doctor for me. From the moment I went to his office I felt comfortable, the receptionist was so nice to me, I was a half hour late because of a storm and besides the doctors busy schedule he took the time to see me.the staff was very helpful with questions and appointments. when I finally meet Dr del vecchio I felt comfortable. He was very professional and listened to my concerns and explained all my options. He used a technique with the brest lift called auto augumentaion (uses your own brest tissue to give you fullness were you need it.) Dr del vecchio is very informed and experinced with breast sergury. He is also very confident, witch helped me trust that he would do a good job. My sergury was at North Shore medical the OR team was so nice to me and made me feel calm. The night of the surgery Dr del vecchio even took the time to call me to ask how I was feeling, I felt like I was a close friend. At my one week follow up visit I was amazed with the results. My expirience at at back bay plastic sergery was grate! The time and money was definitely worth it! THANKS Dr. Del Vecchio!!

I had an amazing experience at Back Bay Plastic Surgery! Dr. Del Vecchio is a perfectionist and was very reassuring with my decisions for my breast enhancement. The surgery itself went perfectly and the staff was extremely helpful with making calls before and after my surgery to make sure I was in good health. I was very specific with appointment times due to my hectic schedule and I felt the receptionist was always professional and accommodating. The results were better than I could have imagined! My breasts look natural and are the perfect size for my frame! Thank you, Dr. Del Vecchio for the time and precision you put into your work! I would tell anyone looking for breast enhancement surgery to go to Dr. Del Vecchio!!

Pros: Amazing staff and Exceptional Doctor!

Cons: You have to wait awhile to see a doctor in demand.... worth the wait, though!

After many years of having uneven breasts I decided to start going to some plastic surgery consults to see what my options were. When I went to see Dr. DelVecchio he had been in surgery all day and still managed to spend a significant amount of time with me explaining the details regarding a breast augmentation. I tried on three different sets of sizers and explained I was interested in the armpit incision because I did not want any scars on my breasts. Dr. D specializes in this incision and explained the procedure as well as answered my entire list of questions and concerns that may have seemed silly, but were important to me. He made me feel completely calm and I felt he was extremely conservative on both the size and procedure options. He listened to what I had to say and did not give me false hope that they would turn out to be perfectly even and that was not my expectation. If they turned out to be closer in size and fuller that would meet my expectations. I went for a preop appt two weeks before and again felt the same calmness that things would turn out just fine and that I was making the right decision in doctor, size, incision type, etc. We went over prescriptions for after and what I could expect the day of surgery. I had my surgery at North Shore Medical Center in Lynn, Mass and I can't say enough great things about them!!! The anesthesiologist and OR team came in to go over the plan and introduce themselves. They were all extremely professional. Dr. D came in and put some markings on my skin, took some pictures and asked me if I had any other questions. One thing that made me feel at ease was that he made sure to mark on my skin what size implant was going in what breast (because I was uneven). This was a huge concern of mine and I didn't even have to ask him!! That night I received a call from Dr. D asking how I was doing and if I had any other questions. At my 5 day post op appt he and I both were thrilled with the outcome and it was only 5 days!!! A++

Pros: Felt extremely calm with Dr. D. and feel he treated me like he would his own family!!!

I went to Dr. Del Vecchio to have my breast implants replaced. I work hard to keep my body in shape and, although there was nothing "wrong", the implants I had done ten years ago were becoming uneven and just looked fake. Talking about breast implants for me feels vain, embarrassing, and uncomfortable - Dr. Del Vecchio made me feel relaxed and justified in my concerns. Most importantly, this doctor listens - he didn't brag about what he could do (as was the case with a couple of other surgeons I interviewed) rather, he addressed my concerns and made several suggestions that made sense.
The preparation for the procedure was very thorough (plenty of literature / doctor and staff answered and encouraged questions and concerns). The doctor's staff is very friendly and hard-working. In particular I was comforted that Dr. Del Vecchio requires a mammogram (if you are over 30) prior to performing the surgery.
My expectations were actually exceeded - my breasts feel and look natural and beautiful and, every imperfection I was troubled by in the past is gone. Union Hospital in Lynn was a wonderful place with caring nurses who made me sure that I was as comfortable as possible every moment. Within 24 hours of my surgery, I received calls from Dr. Del Vecchio, a nurse from the hospital, and the staff from Dr. Del Vecchio's office all checking to see how I was doing.
As someone who can find at least one fault in almost anything, I'm happy to admit my experience with Dr. Del Vecchio had no disappointments. If the need for another plastic surgery arises, I'll return to see Dr. Del Vecchio.

I initially went to see Dr. DelVecchio because i was so tired of feeling bad about my breasts. I suffered from deflated breasts. My breast looked like I was ninety years old, and I'm only twenty eight. I was born with fabulous, full 34 D breasts, but my four children sucked the life out of them. I waited eight years to get breast augmentation, because I didn't have the money, and I was scared. All I could think about was; what if one nipple is pointing up and the other is pointing down, and what if one breast is larger than the other? What If I have hideious scars? Well ladies and gentlemen, had I known that i would end up with these beautiful breasts; I would have done it eight years ago. I had a full lift and 300 cc implants. I love my breasts. My breasts look exactly the same as they did when I was sixteen years old. What more could I ask for. Dr. Delvecchio always lets you know that if you don't like something about his work he'll fix it ,until it's right. You don't get that to often from a plastic surgeon. I met with a few Plastic surgeons before I chose Dr. Delvecchio; but I was certain after my consultation he was the right doctor for me. I plan to see him soon for a tummy tuck to get rid of some slightly loose skin which was the result of four pregnancies. I would trust him with any part of my body, he's a perfectionist. I love his staff. Dawn, his assistant was wonderful. She is a hard worker who is always trying to help all of Dr. D's patients. If your thinking about getting your breasts done or any other plastic surgery, DO IT. The only thing you'll regret is waiting so long to get the work done.

Pros: The breast augmentation exceeded my expectations. Thumbs UP!!!

Cons: I didn't have enough money to pay for my second surgery of choice! Thumbs Up!!!!!

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all you have done for me. I couldn't be more pleased with my results!
You are an excellent surgeon Dr. Del Vecchio who is also very personable, remarkable profesional, and you really seem to care all health concerns.
Having the kind of procedure done that I had is so incredibly personal and at times somewhat less embarrassing to me. However you and your excellent office and medical staff made me feel very comfortable, I have referred my closet friends, family members and peers to Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio as the best of best and will continue to be his biggest and best fan!

Thank you so much

Sincerely,
A.Montoya.

I am actually really surprised to see negative ratings for Dr. D. After a mass amount of research, he was 1 of the 3 doctors that I chose to consult with and he was the one I chose. The staff is very nice, friendly and EXTREMELY helpful. The feel of the office is great: very clean and the atmosphere made me feel at ease. I initially came for breast augmentation, but since he performs other plastic surgeries, I thought I'd ask him about my lip (It was scarred from a car accident). I had so many questions and I can be SO long winded, but he was very helpful, friendly and most of all patient. Knowing his background and given my experience from the consultation, I felt he was the right doctor for me. The hospital that he used was FANTASTIC!! The staff were ALL SO great! I was actually happy instead of nervous. They pampered me and catered to my needs. He did both surgeries at the same time. PERFECT results! I referred two friends and they also love their results. I HIGHLY recommend him!! He is a GREAT doctor! REALLY!! :-D

Pros: Seriously the entire experience!

Cons: Not a one.

Dr. Del Vecchio recently performed an umbilicoplasty on my protruding navel that I've had since birth (which was made even worse by surgery in '06 to repair an umbilical hernia). Simply put, the result is awesome. I highly doubt that I could have found a better surgeon. In fact, I was so impressed with Dr. Del Vecchio's knowledge and insight into my case just from an initial exam that I didn't even bother consulting with any other surgeons. Furthermore, the confidence he exuded put any fears I had to rest. All in all, I have no regrets and am very excited to be able to finally go to the beach once summer comes (a place I haven't been in years for obvious reasons). The customer service, so to say, was also excellent. The day I had the surgery, he called me that night to check on me and I also received a call from his office manager a day or two later. I recommend Dr. Del Vecchio to anybody looking for a skilled plastic surgeon and a great result and would undoubtedly use him again if needed.

Pros: Excellent surgeon, Great Staff, Nice Office

Cons: Sometimes you have to wait, but it's worth it

My surgery involved the removal of two ruptured implants.I was undecided as to whether I would have them replaced. I had consultations with several plastic surgeons, but I did not feel comfortable with their recommendations nor their manner of handling my medical issue. Upon my first consultation with Dr. Del Vecchio, I knew he was the surgeion I had been looking for. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions and asked me many questions before he carefully explained my options. His expertise and demeanor helped me make my decision to have the surgery, and I could not be happier with the results and the care I received from him, Quincy Medical Hospital, and Dr. Del Vecchio's wonderful staff. He phoned the night of the surgery and asked how I was doing. His friendly and experienced staff were always available if I had any questions. This was such a positive experience that Dr. Del Vecchio performed a blepharoplasty months after my breast surgery. Once again, the experience and results were amazing. I look 20 years younger and have thrown out all of the expensive eye creams I not longer need to reduce the appearance of dark circles. I would recommend this gifted doctor to anyone who wants amazing results. Marcie

Pros: gifted surgeon, professional, conpassionate,excellent staff,worked around my schedule

Cons: none,

I recently had breast augmentation with Dr. Del Vecchio, and I am extremely pleased with the results. Another reviewer said that Dr. Del Vecchio is only interested in doing large implants, but I have to disagree, as I went quite small in order to match my petite frame. I had my size in mind and was never challenged by the doctor on my opinion. He definitely encouraged me to go with underarm incisions and saline, but those were choices I had no problem with. I felt quite sure that if I had wanted to go an alternative route, Dr. Del Vecchio would have been open to discussing my options. Dr. Del Vecchio definitely has a confident air that can border on arrogance, particularly if he is in a rush. For example, I came in very soon after surgery for a follow up, but it turned out there was a misunderstanding and I wasn't supposed to come in for another week. During this appointment I felt completely rushed and as if my concerns were dismissed. It did turn out that I was just fine, but when you have your first surgery ever, someone should take a little more time to go over your concerns, even if your pain/bruising/stitches are all completely normal. In the end, though, Dr. Del Vecchio produced the results I was looking for, so a little bit of a dismissive attitude can be forgiven.

Additionally, the office staff has always been very friendly and was great about scheduling my surgery. Tiffany remembered my name every time I came into the office. The staff at Quincy Medical Center was also outstanding. I was pretty nauseous coming out of the anesthesia, but they helped me feel completely safe and comfortable. Overall I am very happy with the procedure and results, even if Dr. Del Vecchio isn't my new best friend, he got the job done right.

Pros: great results, super nice office staff, experienced surgeon

Cons: sometimes dismissive/rushed

I've been treated by several cosmetic surgeons and highly recommend Dr. Del Vecchio. Originally, I had a dermabrasion for the treatment of acne scarring in my early 20s. I was very happy with the results, but knew there was room for improvement. 15 years had passed, and I felt the time was right to seek further improvement. I interviewed several dermatologists/cosmetic surgeons, and opted to be treated with a Cool Touch laser. The results were not very impressive. I was left with three choices. Either, I could accept my results, be treated with an aggressive CO2 laser, or try an entirely new category of laser called Fraxel. Luckily, I found Dr. Del Vecchio. Dr Del Vecchio explained why he felt Fraxel was the right approach. I couldn't be more satisfied, and feel my results speak for themselves.

Dr. Delvecchio and his staff were excellent to work with. They are very professional and make you feel very comfortable from the start. Dr. D did an amazing job at giving me a beautiful pair of breasts!! I could not have hoped for anything more. They are great!! I had heard that he did excellent work but now I know . I am 100% satisfied with my results and I highly recommend anyone in the market for plastic surgery to go to Back Bay Plastic Surgery.

Pros: beautiful office, very pleasant staff, friendly environment

My wife and I are both in the health care field. 1 yr ago she had breast augmentation therapy with Dr Del Vecchio. We were both very pleased with his description of various technique and informed consent. The procedure I believe was done @ Quincy Hospital. The staff was most attentive and as OR schedules can be disrupted, made every attempt to facilitate our comfort. We are both very happy with the results and I have recommended other patients to the practice.

I had a nose reduction on dec 15 and recently removed my splint. Dr Delvechio performed the surgery and I have to say the results are great after 2 weeks. I had absolutely no marks on my face or around my eyes, except for some minor swelling. His service was excellent, good personality and interactive conversation. If you want natural but dramatic results I would highly recomend this doctor. His staff was also helpful and very reassuring at the hospital. His assistant is also friendly and very knowledgeable and you can call the office anytime she will answer any questions for you.

Posted 01/02/07

Dr. Del Vecchio is very professional and works with you to get the desired result. Excellent experience!

Pros: great service

On Dec. 26, 2006 I had rhinoplasty (nose job) at Quincy Medical Center by Dr. Del Vecchio. Today, Jan. 2, 2006, I had the splint removed. Even though I am still a bit swollen and a little black and blue, I have to say that I am thrilled with my new nose!!! I love the result!!! I did alot of research and asked around in order to find a good surgeon. Dr. Del Vecchio was a referral from one of my best friends co-worker. After talking to this co-worker and finding out she was thrilled with her new nose, I made the decision to see Dr. Del Vecchio myself. During my first visit, Dr. Del Vecchio took a photo of my nose (prior to the surgery) and then the two of us sat down and Dr. Del Vecchio was able to do a computer image of what we both agreed would look best for my face. A side by side comparrison was then done so I could see the before and the anticipated result after surgery. I have to say that Dr. Del Vecchio was right on target and my new nose looks exectly as I had hoped for!! I found Dr. Del Vecchio to be very knowledgable, professional, and compassionate. Once I got home from my surgery, Dr. Del Vecchio followed up that evening with a phone call to reassure me things went well and to answer any questions or address any concerns I might have. What service!!! Dr. Del Vecchio's assistant Tiffany was also a wealth of information and also made all the arrangements for my surgery. She made everything easy for me. All I had to do was show up! Also, I'm from the North Shore and I knew nothing about Quincy Medical Center. Because I didn't know anything about it, I was concerned. I have to say now that my fears were unfounded. All the staff and nurses at Quincy Medical Center were very knowledgeable and compassionate. They couldn't have treated me any better!! I am thrilled with my new nose and would highly recommend Dr. Del Vecchio for this procedure. I would also recommend the Quincy Medical Center as well.

I had a breast aug, lift & tummy tuck in March 2006. Dr. Delvecchio was & is brilliant. He knew exactly what would & would not work for me & made his recommendations accordingly (he was right on the money). My lift & breast aug were worst case scenario & I look fabulous - completely natural looking. Dr. Delvecchio spent over 8 hours in surgery on me until I looked perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Delvecchio. Not only is he a great Dr., but he also has a great personality & bed side manner. His staff was there for me 24 hours a day & very knowledgeable about any questions I had after my surgery. Dr. Delvecchio is very confident, but not arrogant...I don't know about other people, but I would prefer a Dr. who is confident in what he/she does.
