4 1/2 weeks post op - New pics & feeling AWESOME! Minneapolis, MN

"Dr. Joe is so great. He worked with me to discuss what I was looking to achieve and let me use my hernia surgeon instead of using the one he usually works with. He also was very patient and took the time to answer all of my questions."

100% Satisfied About His Job

"Dr. Wallach has done a great job and he has perfectly understood what I was looking for my breast implant. First of all he wanted to know in detail what I was thinking about a new breast (how many sizes I wanted to augment, the shape that I was imaging, the feeling...) , and then he expressed his professional opinion, giving me some recommendation about what he would have done to satisfy my request. I had a small B and I was thinking to reach a full C, in a very natural shape: I don't want people to think that my breast looks "fake", or made of plastic. He suggested me to put 300cc, silicone high profile implant that probably would have given me a size D. He thought that a size D would have been more appropriate compared with my requests. He also explained me that part of the implant would be placed under the muscle and part over the muscle, to give me a very natural shape. I trusted him, and now I have a D size with a very natural shape: nobody thinks that I have a breast implant. What I truly enjoyed about Dr. Wallach is his capability to listen to me and to apply then his professional experience compare with my requests. He is a great surgeon, and I am 100% satisfied about his job."

They Are Perfect! Thank You Dr. Dillon!

"I had a breast reductionand Dr. Dillion did a great job. I am still amazed with the results. Dr. Dillon gets a 5 across the board from me. I had complications from stitches not disolving due to my body reacting to the material. Dr. Dillon answered every one of my questions and concerns, and made time to see me on several occasions. It didnt matter which office he was in, they got me in to see him and he dealt with the issues I was having. My reduction was well worth it and i am very pleased with the whole experience. I have seen a few "real life" afters, and i must say mine look much better. They are PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU DR. DILLON!"

"My Dr. (Tehrani) is such a sweetheart, great mannerism, skillful eyes and hands. Called and checked on me the same day. My gut feeling told me I chose very wisely!

The Only One I Will Call For My Next Cosmetic Endeavor

"I don't know even where to begin.... from the moment I walked in, to the post-op check-ups, my experience at Dr. Hyman's office has been nothing less than wonderful. Everyone from Dr. Hyman, to his assistant, to the nurses there were so sweet and caring. I was having trouble with picking the right size for me in regards to my breast augmentation, and the advice that I was given was not only professional and reliable, but in my best interest. They knew exactly what was right for me. I also had some lipo done, and he hid the incisions so very well, no one would ever tell. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result! Meanwhile the day of, I was made to feel welcomed and when I was out of surgery I was made to feel like I was family. I could leave when I felt I was ready too, I wasn't rushed in and out. I even had to call on a weekend for a last minute post-surgery question for Dr. Hyman, and he was quick in responding, going out of his way to call me back asap on his day off. I will be sending every single one of my friends to him with the highest of recommendation, and he's the only one I will call for my next cosmetic endeavor."

OVERJOYED with EVERYTHING!

"It is not often that I take the time to write comments, either negative or positive, about a service or person; however, in this case, an uber-positive review is in order. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Wiesman. I am very happy with my choice of surgeons and beyond satisfied and thrilled with the outcome of my surgery. (If you are reading this Dr. W, I am, indeed, OVERJOYED with EVERYTHING) Well after surgery had come and gone, Dr. Wiesman was still very attentive and diligent about addressing any questions or concerns I had. He is available to you no matter what time of day or night. In short, Dr. W is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful person."

Would Do Again In A Heartbeat!

"I feel fortunate to have had Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz perform surgery on my eye lids last summer. I was nervous to have the procedure, but felt totally at ease with the staff, facility and especially Dr. Joe. I was thoroughly informed of what to expect and was completely satisfied with the results. Overall, a positive experience which I would do again in a heartbeat!"

So Much Confidence In Dr. Greenberg That I Brought My Mother To Him

"My experience with Dr. Burt Greenberg (and his staff...) has ALWAYS been positive. I have so much confidence in Dr. Burt Greenberg that I brought my mother to him after she sustained an orbital bone fracture which would have resulted in permanent damage had it not been taken care of and repaired. Dr. Greenberg is the ultimate professional and has always responded to and taken care of my particular medical needs."

Much More Confident Now In My Clothes And Body!

"I went to see Dr. Filstein because I'd been insecure about my chest since as far back as I can remember! He did an even better job than I expected, and if I was planning on getting other surgeries done I'd definitely go back to him. I am much more confident now in my clothes AND my body!"

Friendly, Courteous

"Friendly, courteous, explained things adequately, showed concern, I was included in my care, adequate information was given, instructions for follow up was given, I had adequate time and the doctor used words that I could understand."

Professional Experience, Beautiful Results!

"I had a breast augmentation with Dr. G in July of 2010. Before setting up a consultation with him, I had visited two other plastic surgeons in the Twin Cities area who did not impress me. I immediately noticed a difference when I arrived for my consultation; Dr. G and his staff were welcoming, professional, and respectful. Dr. G and his staff expect that you've done your research- they will not "talk down" to you or treat you condescendingly (which I found to be the case at the two previous offices). The staff were patient with me when I scheduled a second pre-op appt to talk about sizing, and were helpful in preparing for my surgery date. On the day of the surgery, Dr. G and the team were friendly and put me at ease. After a smooth surgery, recovery went fairly quickly (although not as quickly as I'd hoped- I am more sensitive to anesthesia/pain meds than I had thought); I had the surgery on a Friday, and returned to work (office setting) part time the following Monday. Dr. G called to check up on me twice in the week after my follow-up, which was much appreciated. The only reason one star was lost in the after-care follow-up was because I had thought that I'd be "up and at 'em" much sooner (as other patients had testified), but for whatever reason, the healing process just took a bit longer for me. As I am writing this twenty months post-op, I still love my implants! They look incredibly natural (saline 300 filled to 310) and my scars are near invisible (transaxillary). If I did it all over again, I'd definitely go back to Dr. G."

Thank God I Got A Second Opinion And Found Dr. Wallach

"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the right breast December of 2007. I had a double mastectomy January 2008 at which time tissue expanders were inserted into the tissue. I was horrified at the sight of my chest but glad that the cancerous tissue had been removed. I figured I'd just live with the results. I began the process of inflating the tissue expanders. After several months I suffered sever pain in my back and chest. I was unable to get out of bed. I had pain medicine from the Mastectomy but was unable to get to it.

When I was finally able to get to the doctor, I was told a capsule of scar tissue had formed around the tissue expanders and had contracted. My doctor at the time suggested that he continue filling the expanders and eventually the scar tissue would rupture. The pain from the capsule contracting was worse than the pain of the mastectomy. I decided I needed a second opinion.

I did my research and found Dr. Steven Wallach. He recommended surgically removing the capsule and begin the process of inflating the tissue again. I had the surgery and we began inflating the tissue expanders again. This time everything went well. After the expanders were inflated and the tissue was stretched to the appropriate degree I had the expanders removed and silicon implant inserted.

When I went home after surgery Dr. Wallach said I could remove the dressing the following day. I had been so disappointed from the original surgery I had no interest in looking at my breasts. I kept the dressing on an extra day. When I finally removed the dressing I burst into tears. My breasts looked beautiful, like normal breasts, minus the nipple. Unfortunately it was 11:PM and I had to wait to call Dr. Wallach and thank him for giving my body back.

When I was finally able to thank Dr. Wallach, I said the staff in the operating room must have applauded at the results. He said they applauded all right. They applauded because they were finally able to go home. He said it took him over five hours to get the result he wanted. It's also the result I wanted.

Thank God I got a second opinion and found Dr. Wallach!"

Results I Had Only Dreamed Were Possible

"Dr. Mesna listened to what I wanted and was able to give me the results I had only dreamed were possible. He was always willing to answer questions and explain the process. I want to share my experience so others will be able to have the great results I have had! He was different than the other plastic surgeons I met with and made me feel confident that the whole process would be worth it."

I Feel 20 Years Younger

"My recent liposuction surgery with Dr. Sharon Giese has inspired me to lose 25 pounds in addition to the 5 pounds I lost as a result of the surgery. For the first time in many years I feel no desire to overeat. I never liked the way I looked before, even when I was thin. This made it very hard for me to motivate myself to loose weight and keep it off. I like the way I look now for the first time in my adult life. I attribute this to the surgery. This has given me a huge incentive to loose weight and keep it off. I am eating small, healthy meals and have lost all desire to eat junk food.
The surgery has transformed my life. Thank you."

Dr. Beran Changed My Life

"Dr. Beran changed my life. I am happy with the way I look for the first time in years. I first went to see him because I hated the way I look after two kids. My skin was stretched out and I had skin hanging over my jeans. Dr. Beran explained that I needed a tummy tuck and I have to admit I was a little nervous. But I am so glad that I did it. I look great and the surgery was much easier than I thought it would be. I would tell anyone to go to Dr. Beran."

Convenience Of Avoiding A Busy Hospital

"My experience at Dr. Hyman's Upper East Side offices could not have been better. The entire staff was extremely friendly, very discreet, and completely professional. The beautiful décor and the convenience of avoiding a busy hospital was also an added bonus. I truly believe having my breast augmentation done by Dr. Hyman was the best decision I ever made. He had a great understanding of what I was looking to achieve and guided me in the appropriate direction to get the exact results I wanted. He was patient and I felt extremely comfortable in his care. Everything went very smoothly, from pre-op to my at home recovery. It was virtually painless! I highly recommend Dr. Hyman, he is a gifted surgeon and I absolutely could not be happier with my results."

Checked Up On Me Continually Post-Op

"Dr. Filstein is an amazing doctor with great staff. He performed a great surgery and I'm really happy with my results. Even beyond that, his staff checked up on me continually post-op to see how I was feeling and if I was satisfied with how I was looking. I would definitely recommend Dr. Filstein to anyone who wants to get a cosmetic procedure!"

Reconstructive Breast Augmentation- EXCELLENT Experience

"To summarize, I recently had reconstructive breast augmentation to remove capsular contracture and replace a ruptured implant (from another surgeon 10 years ago). I did extensive research on plastic surgeons in the Chicagoland area and chose 6 doctors for consultation. It was easy to make my final decision to have Dr. Gutowski perform surgery on me. He educated me on all my options and made me feel like I was not just another case but a very important patient. The office staff and surgery team is incredible! Polite, responsive, accommodating, personable and very caring. It really makes a difference. It has been 2 months post op and I am very pleased with my results. Dr. Gutowski and his team has been 100% there to look out for my best interest and have gone out of their way numerous times to accommodate me. On one occasion, Dr. Gutowski and his Coordinator, Wendy came to the office on a day off to see me since I had no driver to take me there the prior day. I also want to mention that I have NEVER had to wait more than 5 mins past my appointment. This was every single visit from consultation to all follow-ups. Not something you experience at most plastic surgeon offices, let alone any Doctor office. The office is busy, Dr. Gutowski is busy. But they make sure you don't feel that. I remember when I was researching doctors, I just wanted someone who did their homework to tell me which doctor to go with. So I (who never writes reviews) am finally doing my part to say that I would highly recommend Dr Gutowski for plastic surgery- breast augmentation in particular. I have not a single negative thing to say about my experience."

From The Very Moment That I Received A Phone Call From The Patient Coordinator I Knew I Was In Good Hands

"I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d'lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients' health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach's patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach's first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because "the price was right." I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach. "

Long Time Patient Of Dr. Hyman

"I have been a patient of Dr. Joshua Hyman for years, and I wouldnt trust my body to another surgeon. Dr. Hyman and his staff have always been available for whatever questions or concerns I have. Additionally, only Dr. Hyman shares my vision of what I should look like."

I Knew I Made The Right Choice

"I met with a few doctors and I ultimately chose to have Dr. Filstein perform my surgery. With over 10 years in the business, I felt so comfortable with his knowledge and experience. From the moment I walked into his office to after my last post-op, I knew I made the right choice. Dr. Filstein and his staff were so warm and helpful through the entire experience."

They Were Very Patient

Now I Feel And Look Better Than Ever

"After losing almost 90 lbs in the course of two years, I was happy to be a reasonable weight again, but the results included excessive loose skin that was impossible to diminish. I tried everything, but Dr. Beran suggested a tummy tuck which changed everything for me. I had never undergone surgery, so I was skeptical and even considered living with my saggy skin but I am so happy that I did it. Dr. Beran is wonderful, and now I feel and look better than ever. "

I Have Sent All My Friends To Dr. Beran

"I would reccomend Dr. Beran to all patients looking for plastic surgery. I went to Dr. Beran's office about 6 months ago because breast feeding two children really did a number on my breasts. My chest was deflated and before kids I had been a nice B cup, but now was a not very happy A .Dr. Beran explained that I needed a lift and a small silicone implant to get back to where I was before. I had a lift and implant put in 4 months ago. The surgery was easy and by the weekend I was able to drive. I LOVE the way I look. My breasts are perky again and I feel good about my body for the first time in a long time. Dr. Beran really was a life-saver. I am happy with the way I look for the first time in years. I first saw him for a tummy tuck after I had two children. My husband said he didn't care, but I hated the way I looked every time I put on jeans. I told my friends that I was going to have my "muffin top" removed. I was a little embarrased and hesitant to show the doctor my stomach. But Dr. Beran was so kind and made me feel so comfortable that I was OK. He explained the surgery and told me that there were some risks. The surgery was three months ago and was so smooth. I barely needed any pain medication, but I had two natural childbirths. I am so happy with the way I look. I have sent all of my friends to Dr. Beran."
