Kendall Bussey review for Aspira Plastic Surgery & Med Spa: Dr. Venkata Erella

I’ve had what I later learned was gynecomastia since I was a teenager, and after years of considering surgery, I finally decided to move forward. After extensive research, I chose Dr. Erella at Aspira Plastic Surgery because of his credentials and the fact that he performs the procedure under local anesthesia. I’ve been fully under anesthesia before and wanted to avoid that, so this option was a huge deciding factor for me. My first consultation was actually a year before my surgery. When I returned, Dr. Erella remembered me and kindly waived the second consultation fee, which really stood out. From booking my surgery to post-op follow-ups, the communication from both Dr. Erella and the front desk staff, Tammy, was outstanding. They were patient, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and comfortable. Surgery day was much easier than I expected. After pre-op meds, I felt relaxed. There was one brief pinch from an injection, but after that I felt nothing — I even fell asleep during the procedure. Recovery was very manageable, with minimal discomfort (around 4/10 at most), and by the next morning I felt clear-headed and normal. I’m now about one month post-op and healing great. The results already look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. If I ever needed another procedure, I would absolutely choose Aspira again. 10/10 experience.
