About
Doctors
I am Dr. Erez Sternberg and I want to take a minute to introduce myself. I chose to become a surgeon in order to help people who want to feel empowered and self-confident. The relationships that I have established and cultivated through what I do every day, make this the best job in the world!
Dr. Hancock is a plastic surgeon specializing in procedures to the breasts (augmentation, mastopexy) , body (abdominoplasty, body contouring, liposuction, bodytite), with special interest in rhinoplasty (including ethnic) as well as facial rejuvenation (face, necklift, blepharoplasties, fat grafting, morpheus, facetite). I also do reconstructive surgeries (breast cancer, breast reduction, keloids, mohs reconstruction). My medical training includes medical school and integrated plastic surgery residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Looking better and natural!
Dr. Hancock is hands down the best! She treats you like you are a friend. My surgery was great and results couldn’t be better. I had a breast reduction and she has me feeling so much better and looking better and natural! She never sets you up for unrealistic expectations. Her staff and support personnel are just as amazing.
Beyond Expectations - body of my dreams!
I am exactly 3 weeks post-op and absolutely floored by my results. Dr. Sternberg exceeded every expectation. He's a genius! All of my incision lines are paper thin. My breasts aren't just what i wanted...they're better. I'll never forget the feeling of removing my surgical bra and seeing them for the first time. after two kids my breasts were saggy, large nipples, just the worst. Now they are...
I wanted to look natural and he hit that goal right out of the park
I gained 90+ pounds at 18 when I got pregnant with my son. My stomach never went back to “normal” and my years of yo yo dieting didn’t help with the elasticity of my skin. I could not have picked a better physician. I told him from the very beginning I wanted to look natural and he hit that goal right out of the park. I’m thrilled with my results.
Enbloc Implant Removal
I loved the way my implants looked, but I began to have several severe health problems after hitting my breast jumping from a waterfall. After going to the er, and multiple doctors without any reason for my declining health I emailed Dr Sternberg to get his opinion. I trust him completely, which is really saying a lot as I am usually very cautious of physicians. He contacted me back and had me...

Brand new to RealSelf but it has been tremendously helpful thus far so I figured I'd repay this community and add my own story in case anyone wants to follow along. My surgery is booked for Monday, July 6th. I have my COVID-19 test tomorrow, I'll get those results Saturday and then hopefully I am good to go! Stats: 32 years old, 5'8, typically fluctuate between 135-140lbs. I have one child...

A: This is a great question and one that I am asked a lot. Anesthesia is safe at any age but depends on the length of total anesthesia and the preoperative health or comorbidities of the patient. A healthy 70-year-old patient would do very well under anesthesia as opposed to an unhealthy, overweight, diabetic 50 year old. The nice facelift should be able to be performed in under six hours and anything over that seems excessive. Make sure you discuss with a board-certified plastic surgeon who would use general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The anesthesiologist will evaluate the chart and make sure that your risk is low and acceptable prior to surgery. Hope this helps. Good luck.
A: Fat grafting to the face is a great option for permanent and long lasting volume to restore deficits that occur with facial aging. However, you will not get any tightening to the mild skin laxity of your neck. Adjunctive procedures to improve this at the time of the fat grafting could be radiofrequency heating (ThermiTight) to the neck or ultrasound treatments like Ulthera. These would be other options to explore that could potentially be done at the same time as a fat grafting. Obviously, a neck lift will be the best overall result and the fat grafting could be at performed along with that for improved aesthetic results. Good luck.
A: you should be able to resume normal lower body powerlifting exercises after sufficient healing from under the muscle breast augmentation. However, as you mentioned, chest exercises will be somewhat restricted. Have you discussed the possibility of going over the muscle with your surgeon? About half of my power builders choose this as an option to decrease animation during competitions and shows.
A: This made up phrase often means that the surgeon adds a piece of mesh to internally support the implant in patients with displacement or fold malposition. This is usually not necessary in primary breast augmentation procedures and could be avoided to save money. Some surgeons say they use the “internal bra” during breast augmentation to help lift the nipple on patients with some nipple droop. This has not been shown to help patients with true nipple ptosis. Consult with other PS to determine the best method for you. Good luck.
A: The simple answer is most likely yes, you would now be a candidate for a Tummy Tuck. Pancreatitis can be caused by stones from the gallbladder obstructing the pancreatic duct. You had appropriate treatment with the removal of the gallbladder and a procedure to open your pancreatic duct. At this point, assuming you are otherwise healthy, you have no risk for recurrent pancreatitis and would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure. See a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. Good luck.
