Tummy tuck at a specific hospital

As long as the surgery is being performed at an accredited facility with competent staff, it is the skill of the plastic surgeon who will be the most important factor in your selection. If you have seen your surgeon and established a good doctor-patient relationship, then I would trust the doctor to select a facility that is well-suited for the procedure that you are having done, in this case tummy tuck. I hope this helps.

Tummy Tuck at Lenox Hill Hospital

From what I know, there are some very skilled plastic surgeons at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. You can discuss it with your plastic surgeon.

Safe Hospital for Surgery?

Thank you for the question. Although I am not aware of the specific hospital you are referring to I would suggest that you emphasize selection of a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon; once you have developed a level of trust/confidence in your plastic surgeon you will likely develop a sense of confidence with his/her choice of surgery center/hospital, anesthesiologist, staff etc. If you have persistent concerns you may have to check with state/federal... more

Having an abdominoplasty in the hospital

Lenox Hill Hospital is an excellent hospital and it is very common to have an abdominoplasty there. There are two locations (77th street and 64th street). While most of the outpatient cosmetic plastic surgery is performed at the 64th street campus, the main hospital on 77th street is also used. So, you should not need to worry about the hospital. Good Luck.

Lenox Hill Hospital

Lenox Hill is an accredited hospital on the upper east side of Manhattan which, given its location in plastic surgery mecca, sees a fair share of cosmetic cases. An abdominoplasty can performed in an accredited ambulatory center or in the hospital setting. You may want to comparison shop on the price of the facility prior to committing to surgery and certainly should verify the credentials of your surgeon, who should be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best of luck! more

My daughter and my self had tt,mr and lipo at Lenox Hill Hospital on 02/20/2013 the Doctors, the Nurse and the complete hospital staff were awesome. Even when we went back for our first week po check up the nurses from admiting saw us on were very concerned about us. My PS was great, Dr. Ryan Neinstein and his team were the best. We scheduled our surgries in December, Dr. Neinstein and his staff were constantly texting and email making sure we were adhering to his pre oper ininstructions for our medications and diet. I am telling you, the after care nurses were contacting us and advising us what not to eat, and drink all the way up to the day before surgery. We had discussions about what emotional effects we may encounter after the procedures, every one was just awesome.
