“The most rewarding aspect of my work is its transformative effect, both physically and psychologically. Experience has taught me that when people have a positive self-image, they’re more engaged in the spectrum of daily activities related to work, parenting, and relationships. Patients tell me they find more joy in putting on a swimsuit and going to the pool, they feel more confident about how they look in and out of clothes, and their relationships are often improved—particularly their intimate relationships—because they feel proud, whole, and less inhibited.”

Patient Transformation: Mommy Makeover
I began modeling as a teenager, and had a successful career based in New York City, until my late twenties. As I approached my thirties, I decided to move on to the next chapter of my life: motherhood…
In spite of this wonderful new purpose in my life, I was still going through a grieving process of my “old” self. My body had changed, which I tried to accept as a “badge of honor”, but deep down really struggled with.
I had a pooch that wouldn’t budge.…

“Dr. Patronella is known as THE best breast surgeon. Being a bikini model and having my own bikini line, I always want to fill out my bikinis in the best way. Everybody knows that Dr. P is the one to go to when you want to have breast augmentation because he’s going to give you natural-looking results so you’re the best version of yourself. “. I had my first surgery with him a little over ten years ago, and when it came time for a revision, there wasn’t even a question. He’s meticulous, he listens, and he genuinely cares about his patients looking like the best version of themselves, not overdone or unnatural. Both times, the entire experience was seamless and supportive from start to finish.”
