The recovery process was managed with the utmost professionalism, and any questions or concerns were promptly addressed. Spending the first night in their private post-operative recovery suite, the Carriage House, provided additional comfort, with its medically trained staff attending to my needs throughout the night. Throughout my recovery, Dr. Amalfi and her team continued to demonstrate their commitment to my well-being. Their follow-up care was thorough, ensuring that I healed properly and providing support every step of the way.

Dr. Amalfi is truly amazing at what she does! I came to her after being told by my original breast aug surgeon that nothing could be done to fix my situation and that going bigger was the only option. I researched all over and ended up traveling to see Dr. Amalfi based on her experience and 5 star reviews. She lights up the room when she walks in with her caring, enthusiastic and comforting nature. She far exceeded my expectations and the results are exactly what I had hoped for and more. She’s an artist and an all around genuine person. She welcomes the complex cases and likes a challenge. Make that consult, you will be so happy you did!
