I never thought of myself as getting plastic surgery. But after having you (Dr. Vela) treat me, all I can do is tell everyone to go to you. After my breast implants and mini-facelift, my friends thought I looked great, but they didn't know that I had surgery. That was 5 days after the procedures. All I can do is say is "thank you Dr. Vela", and tell everyone "I know a great plastic surgeon".-DT, Designer
