“Your body is in good hands with Dr. Romano”
Dr.Romano and his staff have been incredibly kind, patient, and informative at every step of the way. My initial breast augmentation required a revision and I'm so happy I had Dr. Romano to guide me through the experience. He even held my hand as I was put under anesthesia, which was very reassuring. My new breasts are soft and very natural. They fit my frame well and no one even suspects that they aren't real. Ask all the questions you need to to understand the process and know that they will be met with accurate information, kindness, and patience.

“The best experience I have had for surgery”
Dr Romano is Fantastic. He takes the time to explain everything that you will be going through and provides information on getting healthy before and after surgery. He is an artist and I completly trusted him through this procedure. His staff is fabulous and understanding. I would recommend that before you have Cosmetic Surgery you get a consultation with Dr Romano he is simply the best.

“Even better than expected!”
A few years ago, I had decided that I wanted Dr. Romano to be my surgeon for my tubular breast correction. I was impressed with the results on his website and his experience with tubular breast correction. Dr. Romano was very particular in choosing the implant size during surgery and took my opinions into consideration. I'm glad I trusted his judgement because his choice of implant size suits my body perfectly. The results are beautiful, natural, and exceeded my expectations.

“Thank you for the perfect breasts!!!”
Dr. Romano is an artist! Everything he does from
the first consultation to my follow up four years later has been beyond my expectations. He is sensitive to your desires, body image, self-esteem and expectations. He is honest and gentle but direct. He understands and designs the perfect breast proportional to your body style. When I first came in I wanted a C cup and he suggested a full D, because of my hip shape and athletic figure. He was right when he said I would regret the smaller size. I was so happy with the result! They are perfect. They look beautiful and natural. No one would know they are implants. The truth is that with my boosted confidence and glorious body, I have been able to attract a much higher quality man, a man who can have any woman he wants. I am a modest, not superficial person, but this has truly been my experience!
Dr. Romano is not just amazing at results, he is a sweet, caring man. He treats you with compassion and professionalism.

“Great Boobs!”
Dr Romano was recommended to me by my dermatologist and i couldn't be happier. He spent a lot of time with me before my surgery to make sure that we had a clear and agreed upon game plan. He lifted one breast & put in a small implant in the other. My breasts are now even and perky! He also took time after surgery to check on my healing. I've never felt rushed. All-in-all a great experience - i wish i had done it sooner!

“Breast reduction/Liposuction”
I had a great experience with Dr. Romano. He made me feel super comfortable and listened to my wants and concerns. He has taken a tremendous amount of time to meet with me pre and post-op and truly sticks with you through the whole process. I am extremely happy with the lipo and breast reduction performed-- I am blown away by the amazing results!

Comment - “ Dr. Romano is a phenomenal surgeon and the results are amazing ”
It has been 4 months since my surgery with Dr. Romano. I was very nervous to have revision surgery for the 2nd time but after meeting with Dr. Romano my mind was put at ease. His perfection, attention to detail, explanation of the procedure and kindness made me feel very comfortable and confident that he would produce excellent results. Savanna was very caring, patient, helpful, thorough and professional through every step pre and post op. I would highly recommend Dr. Romano.
