Plastic Surgery Testimonials

My Journey at Connecticut Plastic Surgery

I have struggled with acne my entire life. I have been on numerous different medications and topical lotions, but none of them have seemed to be the solution for me. When I learned about the Aesthetic Center at Dr. Vasquez’s office, I was hesitant at first. I was planning on starting Accutane, which is a very strong and aggressive oral medication, guaranteed to clear my skin. This was a last resort for me, so I decided to give the skincare options at Dr. Vasquez’s office a try, and I am so happy I did!

My first treatment was an extraction and cleansing facial. The staff at Connecticut Plastic Surgery is so warm and welcoming, and they make you feel at home right when you step foot inside. They are all very easy to talk to, and were more than willing to answer all of my questions.

I was expecting the extraction to be extremely painful, but I was wrong. Suzanne is very gentle and was talking me through the whole process. She let me know what she was doing the whole time and what different products she was putting on my face. She cleansed my face, and then took some time extracting some of my acne. The discomfort for a few minutes was well worth the results. After some steaming, cleaning, and wearing a cleansing mask, my skin was glowing, rejuvenated, and never felt so clean! I definitely wanted to keep coming back so the treatments would continue to have a lasting impact on my skin.

My next treatment was the Laser Genesis. This may be familiar to you for reducing wrinkles or aging skin. However, Laser Genesis can also be used to reduce redness and scarring that can be caused by acne. I was nervous about this treatment, and the staff could see that. The staff was to kind enough to let me watch the procedure prior to my appointment to make me feel more at ease. Betsy did my Laser Genesis treatment. She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The device is hot, but it does not touch your face. Betsy described the feeling like “hot raindrops” touching my face, and that is exactly what it feels like. It was a very tolerable, noninvasive treatment. I plan on returning frequently, as I have already seen my scarring and redness reduce significantly.

My final treatment was microdermabrasion. I have never had this treatment before, but had high hopes for my skin. Suzanne did this treatment, and she made me feel very at ease. There is no pain in this treatment. Microderm exfoliates your skin, removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face. It feels like there is a tube squeezing your face for a second, and another tube releasing crystals. This is another treatment that can be used for anti-aging, but also decreases the appearance of scarring and the size of your pores. It may take a few sessions to get the exact results you are looking for.

The other benefit to the whole process is the homecare system that Dr. Vasquez made available to me. The MyBody acne treatment is a 3-step system that I apply to my face twice a day. When I am in between treatments, this is a great way to keep my skin in check. Suzanne, Betsy, Lisa and Dr. Vasquez explained each step of the system to me, making everything very easy to understand.

The staff at Connecticut Plastic Surgery Group was excellent in educating, treating and caring for me during this whole process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone my age struggling with acne, and looking for a healthy way to clear your skin without all of the medication. Thank you CT PSG for making my skin clear, healthy and glowing!

The first time I considered breast augmentation I was still in high school. It was usually just a passing thought or something I would say jokingly. To me, only rich or famous women enjoyed the luxury of affording plastic surgery. After graduating college and starting a full-time job, the idea of breast augmentation seemed more realistic than before. I wanted to look into surgery further but, I had no idea how to go about researching doctors, procedures, costs, etc. Luckily, a close friend referred me to Dr. Vasquez, at Connecticut Plastic Surgery Group.

I walked in to the office for my free consultation, with my mother, and was welcomed by Lisa, the practice manager. She was friendly and inviting, offered refreshments, and answered some questions I had before meeting with Dr. Vasquez. During the consultation Dr. Vasquez introduced himself, told us about his practice, and asked what I was looking for and why. He thoroughly discussed the different types of implants, procedures, potential risks, and any frequently asked questions. He then answered every question my mother and I had. I could tell that Dr. Vasquez was passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his patients. Before I left the office Lisa gave me an estimate on how much the procedure would cost and it was more affordable than I was expecting. My mother was skeptical about plastic surgery before the visit, but after meeting with Dr. Vasquez and getting the estimate, she said I was crazy not to do it!

During my pre-op appointment, Dr. Vasquez helped determine which size was right for what I was looking for and that would fit my body. He was able to show me a virtual picture of what I would look like with the implants. He went into detail about the surgical procedure and healing time. He then discussed in-depth how the day of surgery would go starting with checking in to the hospital, paperwork, anesthesia, and outpatient care.

Dr. Vasquez made me feel so comfortable and relaxed that I was not nervous for surgery. I was actually extremely excited. There were no surprises with surgery or post-op care because Dr. Vasquez discussed it all during our pre-op appointment. He was there for me every step of the way and was always available to answer questions. The whole process from the consultation to the surgery and recovery was easy. He understood what I wanted from surgery, helped pick the right size for my body, and I could not be happier. I am in love with the results, they are exactly what I was looking for and I cannot imagine life without them. It was the best decision of my life and it would not have been possible without Dr. Vasquez and his wonderful staff!

Feb 17, 2017 – Verified Patient Had a microdermabrasion today, the staff was helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly! Would definitely recommend! Skin post treatment felt significantly better!

Dec 14, 2016 – Verified Patient I called the office on my 17year wedding anniversary, to set up a appointment for a consultation. I brought my husband with me to the appointment. After my consultation, my husband said I like Dr. Vasquez I believe he will take good care of you. After pushing my date back a couple of times, I set a date. The day of surgery I was very scared until Dr Vasquez came in the room. Dr Vasquez explained everything to me and made sure I was comfortable. Im 3 months out now and Im extremely blessed that I finally had my Tummy Tuck. Its been 30 years since I was able to see my toes standing straight. Every time I see Dr Vasquez I restrain myself from giving him a big hug. Thank you Dr. Vasquez to you and your staff.

Dec 05, 2016 – C.T. Dr. Vasquez is an amazing surgeon. He really takes time to get to know the patient, their needs and find a solution to the problem. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a plastic surgery!

October 20, 2016 – L.S. I had the vampire facial done here by the aesthetician Aimee. She was wonderful and very accommodating. My skin looks awesome.

September 08, 2016 – L.F. Great staff – and GREAT options. I had the best facial with Amy I have ever had – and I am picky. lol. I will make this my go to spot.

June 21, 2015 – A.B. He was my first and only experience with plastic surgery, and I am SO happy that I chose him. This was 8years ago, and I can confidently say that my breast augmentation was the best decision I ever made for my own self esteem. Besides that, I’ve had ZERO complications, they look even BETTER and more natural as I age (and have had three babies since the procedure, and they look WAY better than most post-partum Mommies!), and I even fell once randomly on ice 5years after the surgery and he saw me no cost, no problem, just to be sure all was well.

September 19, 2014 – Jenn Q., San FranciscoI happened to be in Westport for work and desperately needed someone to fix a botched botox job I had received earlier. While in the waiting area I happened to meet two clients who had cosmetic procedures with him. These patients seemed so pleased with his technique, results and the care that they received from the staff, I knew I had found a gem in Fairfield.

Dr. Vasquez is the best! He was so patient and really listened to my concerns. I love my results — no “spock eye!” The woman (Suzanne, Lisa, and Betsey) made me feel special and even offered me refreshments while I waited. They also got me hooked on MyBody skin care products which I am currently using and loving!

May 31, 2014 2016 – Lisa S. Finding a surgeon is personal and requires a level of trust beyond most relationships. There are many to choose from in Fairfield County so when I chose Dr Vasquez it was after much research and inquiry. My experience began from the moment I called the office.  The office has such a warm and comforting atmosphere. Dr Vasquez spent so much time answering my questions, and the staff made it seamless to book my surgery and provide the most personalized after-care. Dr Vasquez has such a gentle demeanor, is talented and approachable. I knew that choosing him to perform my surgery was a wise decision.

Good morning Dr. Vasquez, Deb and Lauren,As I compose this email on this rainy morning I hope each of you is well. I wanted to send this note of appreciation to all of you. Deb, from my first visit to the office, your warm and friendly demeanor helped to ease a little of the nerves I felt to just have gone in for a consultation. Every visit since then has been no different, your out-going personality is very welcoming. Lauren, your professionalism and knowledge of the treatments you do came through from our first meeting. The facial treatment you gave me, left my skin feeling soft and supple. There is no doubt I will return for another. Last but definitely not least, Dr. Vasquez. How do I begin to thank you?! It’s two months today since the morning of my surgery and I feel like a different woman. During the consultation, you were readily able to answer every question I had for you and gave me information I hadn’t thought to ask. Your bedside manner made me very comfortable and relaxed the morning of the surgery though I was a nervous wreck initially. In the weeks following the surgery, you were wonderful about returning my calls any time, even when I interrupted your Sunday (sorry) and putting me at ease and reminding me to take things easy when I tried to recoup too quickly. I still have a little way to go before I reach my goal of where I want to be; but choosing to have the surgery and having chosen you as my surgeon has inspired me to keep moving forward because I LOVE my new belly and refuse to ruin all that hard work!Have a wonderful day all!!-Former Patient
