Here at Vado Plastic Surgery, we want you to look and feel your best; we want you to love the body you see in the mirror! After all, life is too short to struggle with achieving the results you deserve, only to be graced with loose skin and stretch marks. This year for Patient Experience Week, we want to highlight some of our patients’ plastic surgery before and after stories!

Mommy Makeover

Our very own Frances Leonardo, a surgical technician at Vado Plastic Surgery, is known around here for her incredible, life-altering transformation a few years back! After doing yo-yo diet after yo-yo diet, Frances finally got tired of being unhealthily overweight, struggling with high cholesterol, and being unable to tie her own shoes. But her struggles went beyond the image in the mirror. Depression began to take root, as felt her sense of self beginning to slip away. That’s when she consulted with Dr. Z and decided it was time for a change.

She committed to dieting the right way, lost all of the weight for good, then scheduled a mommy makeover to help regain her body! The transformation she has experienced isn’t limited to the outside— she is now more confident and secure with her body than ever. Listen to her story for yourself below!

Breast Implant Removal

Margarete, a beautiful brunette in love with hairdressing, was living her life and styling hair thirteen years after a breast implant surgery in Brazil. Without explanation, she started to feel very ill; her hands and feet had a mysterious tingling sensation, she began having frequent heart palpitations, her back and soon other parts of her body began to ache. The pain became so unbearable she could no longer work a full day.

After consulting doctor after doctor, trying test after test, a cause couldn’t be determined. That’s when a friend found what might be the solution.

As it turned out, Margarete’s breast implants used thirteen years prior had been recalled due to toxic seepage. When Margarete realized that this was happening, she immediately contacted Vado Plastic Surgery for emergency removal. Using an En Bloc technique, Doctor Z was able to get Margarete the perfect size and shape while all immediately eliminating her symptoms of implant toxicity. Today she’s back to doing what she loves full time, living her best life.

Full Body Transformation

After an unexplainable bout of auto-immune illness, Hope was determined to get her life— and her body— back from the brink of near-death experience. She grabbed her life by the reigns, ate right, exercised, and finally reclaimed her health and wellness. After all of the effort she put in, the loose, saggy skin wouldn’t budge. Hope did her research and turned to Vado Plastic Surgery; as soon as the bandages came off, she wept with joy. She now works out and exercises outdoors without fear of judgment and is proud of all that her body has been through.

Top Surgery

Orlando is known for having a vibrant LGBTQ+ community. At Vado Plastic Surgery, we are proud live and work alongside people of all walks alike, so we strive to ensure that all feel welcome to become who they really want to be, while feeling safe within our walls. Our patient Morgan is just one of many individuals who felt this security. 

Morgan knew ever since he was little that his body on the outside didn’t quite express who he was on the inside. Even though his dedication to bodybuilding, muscle toning, and transitions in other parts of his life helped him feel more like himself, he was still unable to go topless like other men. When he discovered Vado Plastic Surgery, Morgan was elated. After his surgery, he and the Vado team were beaming with joy, when he expressed that he “finally got to look in the mirror and I looked like me.” At last, Morgan now truly loves his body, and is especially excited about being able to work out topless with the other guys.
