After years of research and meetings with numerous doctors in Miami and New York, I faced a major decision regarding a surgical procedure that would have long-lasting effects. I needed to find a skilled surgeon who could ensure a safe and successful outcome, allowing me to still feel like myself without the need for corrective procedures. Despite watching numerous YouTube videos and consulting with several plastic surgeons, I was left feeling uneasy after each appointment. I almost gave up. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Breitbart. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease. The staff in the waiting room were friendly, patient, professional, and helpful. I thoroughly researched Dr. Breitbart and he met all the requirements on my checklist. Being a board-certified surgeon wasn't enough for me. I also needed a plastic surgeon who took pride in their work and whom I could trust to recommend what was safe and right for me. During our consultations, he actively listened to my questions and was sensitive to my needs and concerns. He was honest and provided straightforward guidance on the best approach to my situation and the realistic results I could expect based on my body composition. This made me feel comfortable and confident that I had finally found the right plastic surgeon. I had my surgery on May 23, 2024, which included abdominoplasty, with liposuction of the flanks. The ride home was uncomfortable, not from pain but nausea from the anesthesia (which was expected). The nursing staff at the accredited surgical facility was phenomenal and provided me with an ice pack and alcohol pads which helped tremendously! I went home with a stomach binder. I felt no pain except for some discomfort (nausea, inability to stand upright, soreness). Dr. Brietbart met with me the following day (this was very comforting and reassuring). The second night, no pain. The third night, I felt what would be comparable to bad menstrual cramps. Some may have been able to tolerate it, but I have a shallow threshold for pain, so I took the pain med (less than what was prescribed) and it was gone. On the fourth day, I took an extra strength Tylenol just as a precaution and that was the last time I needed to take pain medication. I do not doubt that my overall experience was due to Dr. Brietbart's experience and expertise. Today I am 18 days post op (June 10, 2024). I am swollen, but this is expected. My stomach looks amazing, better than I anticipated ( I have visceral fat). My back rolls are gone, and my belly button looks like it was never touched; it looks perfect! My stitches are very low and easily hidden with underwear. I knew that Dr. Brietbart “has a keen interest in art and the artistry of cosmetic surgery” and my results show it!! I am forever grateful to Dr. Breitbart and his staff. I love my results and am nowhere near seeing the “real” results! Dr. Brietbart is one of the best in his field! If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, LOOK NO FURTHER!!
I had my boobs done back in April, from the first consultation I showed Dr. Breitbart a picture of the boobs I liked that he's done before and he assured me that he would make them nice just like the picture I showed him. Everyone in the office is kind and helpful, and on the day of surgery I was nervous but everyone at the prohealth facility was amazing, they made me feel at ease until the very end. I love the way my boobs came out! I can finally wear cute tops and bikinis without feeling insecure. Dr. Breitbart did a fantastic job and I'm so happy I chose him to be my surgeon.

Well the start of my story started in 2014 I have been under Dr breitbart's care since that year and with every procedure that I have had I am so happy with the results he is by far the best.. His staff his surgical staff and the doctor himself are the best out there you will be fully satisfied with the work that he does. And the compassion that they all have
Absolutely great experience. Not only is Dr. B well versed and experienced in many procedures he is very easy to talk to. Couple this with an office team that goes out of their way to help you and you’ve got a great choice. Have had 2 successful procedures with results that provided me with a life changing appearance. Couldn’t be happier!
Dr. Arnold Breitbart, his team, and my experience! I had smart Lipo of the Lower abdomen and flanks. My first interaction and all others with the front-line staff was lovely. The receptionists are super kind, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. This made my experience easy going and gave me the piece of mind and reassurance needed to book my appointment since I’ve never had a procedure done before and was extremely nervous. I had so many doubts and questions and each time I called I couldn’t tell rather I was speaking with Jen, Viviane or Loretta because they were all equally wonderful and patient with me. Overall, everyone was responsive and very attentive to all my needs. Dr. Breitbart is exceptionally professional and exceeded my expectations. Clearly, he has extensive experience in the field, and what I loved the most was his calm demeanor while explaining everything to me from beginning to end. The day of my procedure I was anxious however the nursing staff Harriet and Cindy made me feel super comfortable, helped me remain calm and we were even laughing during my procedure. Overall, the surgery went way better than I expected. I had minimal discomfort, Dr. Breitbart was gentle and continuously asked me if I was doing ok throughout the process. Today I am 1-month post-op and even though still swollen, very happy with my results so far. I had an extraordinary positive experience and would absolutely do it all over again! Highly recommend Thank you all
From beginning to end Dr. Breitbart and his staff were just exceptional! I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding results of my mommy makeover! Thank you so much Dr. Breitbart and staff for everything but especially your patience!
I’m so happy with my results of my upper blepharoplasty. It’s only been a month since I had my surgery, and I love my results. Dr. Breitbart is a highly skilled surgeon. Not only is he good at what he does,he is also very kind and down to earth. The receptionists are also very nice and welcoming. I’m glad I chose Dr.Breitbart as my surgeon!
I had my inner thigh liposuction done in Nov, and I could not be happier with the results! Dr.Breitbart is very kind and has rich experience. I wait three months to write this review because I do see my inner thigh looks natural and great now. I remember I need to call him out of office time, however, to my surprise, he is very nice to answer my phone and help me figure out my problem! His office is friendly and professional, I love working with them! Dr. Breitbart is an excellent surgeon and artist, highly recommend him!
I am 100% satisfied with my results. Dr. Breitbart and his staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and guided me every step of the way. if you're searching for the right doctor, then search no further.
During a standard tummy tuck, the skin between the belly button and the pubic area is excised, and the rest of the skin is pulled down. If your stretch marks are within the area of the skin being removed, the stretch marks will be removed along with this skin.
I perform the vast majority of my tummy tucks as outpatient surgery. Most patients are back to work within 1-2 weeks. Generally, patients look and feel great in less than a month.
In general, if you plan to get pregnant within the next few years, it may be best to delay the tummy tuck. I have performed many tummy tucks though on weight loss patients, who subsequently became pregnant, and did just fine, as well as post-pregnancy patients who had another pregnancy after their tummy tuck. In general, these patients ultimately still looked great, and did not require any tummy tuck revision.
Most patients are able to return to work 1-2 weeks after a full tummy tuck. Depending on your work, this time may be longer or shorter.
I have performed many tummy tucks on patients 68 years old and even older. As long as you are medically healthy, and can get medical clearance from your internist, you can still be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, even at 68.
