Trip to see Vinnie

My appointment with Vinny is Wednesday in Baltimore! I can't wait. Friday will make one year since Bi-MX. Happy to get this part behind me. Thanks to everyone for your posts on nips. The information has been priceless.

Obx you are going to love his work he did an amazing job on me. I was so surprised how real it looked.

Vinny is my new hero! It was virtually painless for me. I did take a couple Tylenol before. Figured it couldn't hurt. His work is amazing and for the first time in a year, I feel like my old self and whole. It is such a good feeling to look down and see areolas .... He shaded my nipples also.



It was a great day! He's easy to talk to and makes you feel right at home.

Obx I love what Vinny did for me it has been 9 days for me now they are a bit flaky now following the instructions for care closely I think one more day with the ointment then I'm gonna start using coco butter

This thread is very helpful - thanks for the info! I have an appointment with Vinnie in 2 weeks. I had the tatts done in the PS office in April and they didn't come out well. I'm really happy with the implants, etc., and can't say enough good things about my PS, but the tatts came out very very light and look like make-up if you can picture that. I picked the color because I was afraid of them coming out too dark. The nipple was reconstructed (from scar) in Dec. 2012 and came out good - the PS kept saying "we lost projection" but that's fine with me! I'm hoping Vinnie can make the tatts look a little better.

Bad Experience with Vinnie?



Has anyone had or has heard of anyone who's had a negative or not so positive experience with Vinnie? If so, could you say how?



Been reading this and the nipple reconstruction topic posts most of today as I'm recuperating from nipple surgery.



Wish I had read it earlier (and saw Vinnie's portfolio as I think I would have gone with the 3-D tattoos.



Now I just want to make sure Vinnie is a better choice than my plastic surgeon or her assistant before putting down a deposit.



Thanks a lot for any feedback!

I'm hoping to get rescheduled with Vinnie again for my tattoos. I'm supposed to get a call Monday to set up a date. I'm hoping that this last surgery evened everything up. Right now it is but the months will tell for sure.

Got my tatoos over my cv flap nipples sept 10th and love them. They are just getting slightly light thin scabs now but you cat tell. My sister is here visiting and was amazed at how real they look. It was def worth the trip to go to him us we had a blast in Nola celebrating the new me

Hey guys, did any of u gave nip reconstruction by ps and areola by vinnie or all by vinnie?

Got nips by PS and tats by vinnie

You're the best, Vinnie !! Thank you so much for your wonderful work last Wednesday. For the first time since mastectomy, I feel normal and whole....inside and out. Thank you, thank you ! Melody

You guys are getting me re-excited to get down to NOLA!  Had to cancel my 10/9 appointment with Vinnie because my implants are not working out.  Have to figure out what to do surgically and when, before I can make another appointment.  Looking forward to Vinnie's tatts got me through the BMX and exchange...now I'm using it to get me through whatever is next!  Thanks Vinnie!!

oxy, carroll..what helped with your choice or was that the plan all along?

hey there, so I sent message/email on his site late yesterday and then decided to call today too. I have not heard back from website/email and I called today at about 1:30pm and someone answered the phone and asked if he could call me back in a couple of minutes..that was almost 3 hrs ago..     so am wondering if this is a sign?? 

Just got a email from Brittney from the Center and she is going to put me on a waiting list for Dec. otherwise he is scheduling into Feb. for NOLA.
