I have been visiting Dr. Rosenstock for the past five years for facial fillers, including Restylane and Botox. He and his staff are professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Dr. Rosenstock will always make time to ask questions and listen to concerns, then provide expert recommendations to solutions for my specific needs. His staff always follows up to ensure treatments are a success and met expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Rosenstock - he is just fabulous!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Rosenstock’s for over 20 years and he’s never disappointed me. Meticulous with an eye for subtle detail is how I would describe his aesthetic. I’ve had breast augmentation, liposuction, Botox and fillers. All resulted in natural enhancement and improvement. He listens and takes time to explain things and is very conservative in his approach.
My experience with Dr. Arthur Rosenstock was different than others I have had with the doctors I have consulted in the past. The way he approached my case was not only reassuring, but he made me feel secure and confident that I had made the correct decision to take this personally affirming step. He is thoughtful, meticulous (took so much time during my procedure that I had minimal discoloration), approachable and very human. I didn’t feel rushed ever, he answered all my questions and made himself available to me, day and night after my surgery. I honestly feel that his love for fly fishing (the zen part of his personality) and painting (appreciation of the human form) benefitted me in my quest for change (but not too much). The environment and people he surrounds himself with was also really important to me, especially Charlene, (who is a registered nurse and also runs the office) who couldn’t have been more helpful explaining everything, keeping me on track about how I had to prepare and offering some hugs. I'm too private to show the before and after photos and I'm not a review writer, but this experience was better than I could have ever imagined and I just wanted to share it. I hope it is helpful to you.
I had my TT this past Wednesday. April 17. Much like many reviews that I read having two pregnancies where I had large babies really did me in. I am 5'1 and weighed 120 pre pregnancy. I was very fit and finally at a happy weight, where previously I had bounced between 104 and 128 lbs and struggled with my weight. I was not physical or emmotional prepared after my two children being born by C/S and my stomach would never be the same. I figured after my first child that I would need a TT but remained in denial and hoped and prayed that I could just work out really hard and it would all go back together. I even tried hide it with girdles and painful spanx, but no matter how hard I worked out my I always looked like I was 5 months pregnant. Honestly the thought of another surgical procedure scared the heck out if me. But here I am 5 day PO and very excited to say it feels good to be on the flat side ! Thank you ladies that have come before me your stories are inspirational and good luck to those gearing up! I will add photos later! Updated on 25 Apr 2013: One week PO. Got stitches out today. Can't find any before shots but I thought I would add some pictures I took today. I have to say , I am very pleased with everything. I love by belly button. My PS made it look so natural. I am still a little swollen but I can already see my abs which have been hidden for so long. I haven't been all that curious about what I look like under the bindings until now, so it was a nice surprise to see what my stomach looked like. Updated on 3 May 2013: Feeling blue. Just thought I would update. The recovery is fine, no complications, but I know longer have consistant help. I feel normal and strong most days, but I am unable to keep up with my children. My friends have been trying to fill in the gaps, but it just looks like I am milking it, because I appear fine. I just can't lift my son or chase after him. I still get tired easily and after a long day with the kids my abs are soooooo sore. My PS ideally wants me to rest, but its getting harder. I knew recovery was long and hard, but damn...its really dragging. I know I am just complaing, but I honestly didnt think about how my kids figured into this recovery process. Updated on 15 May 2013: So here I am week 4 and feeling great. Boy, this recovery is something else. While , I have no preblems with how everything looks since it is healing nicely, but these muscles twinges and spasms are crazy! Yesterday was my first day alone all day with my two littles ones. I was able to take them out driving and to activities. I really did myself in, for the first time in weeks I had to take tylenol. But I did see the PS today and he gave me the go ahead to stop wearing a binder and to use spanx if I want. I went three hours without a binder and it felt so weird, especially since I don't have feeling on my stomach. I think I will be wearing a binder for a little longer, just for comfort. He did not give me permission to exercise though, he wants me to wait til week 7. He is very conservative and does not believe in pushing limits and so far I have followed his intructions to a T and I haven't had any complicaions. That being said, I swear my body is getting so jiggly and my butt which I work very hard on has shrunk and not in a good way. Starting to look all spongebob square pants! What week did your PS give you clearance to exercise? Updated on 16 May 2013:
Back in 2010 I got a rhinoplasty from Dr. Rosenstock, all seemed well until a few months after my swelling went down it became obvious that one of my nostrils had caved in. It was really obvious that I had been botched but I let him perform a revision rhinoplasty about a year later. After the revision it looked somewhat better but it was still clear that my nostrils were very crooked. Over the years it's become worse to the point where I have pieces of cartilage sticking out of my nose and one of the nostrils has very clearly collapsed. I look more and more botched by the year and can't comprehend why he was unable to fix it after two procedures. I would highly recommend steering clear of him at all costs.
I went to Dr. Rosenstock for a consultation on an otoplasty as he was recommended to me by another doctor for the procedure. I'd like to share my experience since there aren't many reviews about this doctor - especially upon learning more about the cosmetic surgery process. -While sitting in the waiting room on my phone checking work emails (not even on a voice call), the receptionist (Charlene) came up to me angrily and said "you can't bring that in there" and made me check my phone in a the front desk, saying that the doctor gets very upset with people who bring their cell phones in. Though this was an odd request I was totally fine with it - however the demeanor in which I was confronted about it made me feel uncomfortable. -Doctor Rosenstock seemed very pleasant and experienced. He took me through the surgery, answered all my questions and showed me photos. -He told me the surgery would be almost twice the amount any other doctor in the area was charging. Additionally, I now understand that normally a doctor will provide you with a written quote with a breakdown of the cost but in this case I did not receive one. -He told me that I would need to stop taking birth control pills for a cycle prior to the surgery. He said I also needed to visit my primary physician and get bloodwork done before the surgery. I was later told by another surgeon that this is atypical, especially for patients who are healthy and young (like I am). -It was $250 for a consultation which was excessive. This fee was not disclosed to me when making the appointment. -Despite my gut feeling (although the receptionist helped me with an unrelated insurance question, she really rubbed me the wrong way with that first visit) - I liked Doctor Rosenstock and put down a deposit for the surgery. Now normally after putting a deposit down you receive paperwork via the mail a few days later - consent forms, explanation of total charges, etc. I called twice to receive this paperwork and ended up getting it about 2 months after I placed my deposit to hold the surgery date. It was a handwritten note and didn't explain in detail any of the charges (just said "Total: $10,000"). -Getting in touch with the practice was an annoyance. The phone was almost always busy (call waiting, hello?) and the doctor does not communicate by email at all. -I hadn't had my pre-op yet and it was 2 weeks before the surgery was scheduled when I decided to cancel because the whole experience was just giving me bad vibes. Charlene was very unhappy when I told her this and told me they could not refund any of the $500 deposit (on top of the $250 consultation fee) that I put down. There was no explanation of this type of cancellation policy on the paperwork I received and was told that it was a "verbal agreement". I have spoken to other surgeons who have told me that this is not normal for a practice - if you cancel within reasonable time you will almost always get some of your deposit back, and the cancellation policy should always be on the paperwork provided. All in all, although I lost out on some cash I don't think I would have been happy if I got the surgery with Dr. Rosenstock. The service I received by the office was so unfriendly, unaccommodating and, quite frankly, odd that I would have been nervous about the reaction I would receive if something had gone wrong due to the surgery. I am chalking this experience up to a very expensive mistake and in the future if I am able to afford the surgery again I will not be going to Dr. Rosenstock to perform it.
Hi everyone, I want to start with thanking everyone for sharing their stories here. It has helped me with so many questions I've had about breast augmentation. I'll start with a little bit about myself: I am 5'3 ft tall, weight 110 lbs and currently a 32A cup but won't fully fill a 32A bra if I lose weight. I am looking to go from an A cup to a C cup. I will be getting silicone gel, round, smooth implants moderate plus profile and it will be a periareolar incision. I've wanted a breast augmentation since I knew my breast were not going to get any bigger which was a long time ago. I am super excited and cannot wait for my procedure. My pre-op appointment is scheduled to be in less than a week on 9/22/16. During this appointment is when I will be committing to an implant size. During my consultation back in July my surgeon suggested I go with a size between a 250cc and 275cc however I don't recall telling him I wanted a C cup so his suggestion may be different during my pre-op. I know he will be honest and tell me if my expectations of a C cup are realistic. After my consultation I did a lot more research on sizes and so I can't wait for my pre-op to revisit size options with my surgeon. I don't remember where I read that 236cc will get someone like me 1 full cup. This would mean that about 475cc would get me to a C cup. However, I think 475cc would be extremely large for me because I have a very small frame and I want by breast to look as natural and proportionate as possible. A little bit about my surgeon: I am going to Dr. Rosenstock who was highly referred to me by a friend whose breast he's done. He is very much into producing very natural breast-like results. His before and after photos were amazing and I could not tell that the afters had been enhanced - they were just bigger. Plus, I know of a few women whose breast he's done and their results are amazing. I may post some photos at some point during the week and do an update after my pre-op. Till then! Updated on 17 Sep 2016: I forgot to add in my first post my measurements: Bust: 31.5 inches Waist: 23.5 inches Hips: 36.5 inches Updated on 25 Sep 2016: Had my pre-op on Thursday. My surgeon suggested I go with 250cc or 275cc to achieve the look I want. Before showing him pictures of the look I want he thought Moderate+ would be good however on Thursday he measured me the width of my breast and now we are going with high profile Mentor silicone implants. Turns out my bust is very narrow and if I go with the 275cc moderate+ the ladies will look very strange and be placed more to the side (please nooo). After checking out so many pics showing high profile on realself I feel more comfortable about the high profile. My biggest concern I told my PS is I don't want my breast to look like 2 melons on my bust, and I don't want them to be the first thing to enter the room. I feel we are both on the same page. During the pre-op visit I tried on some 250cc, 275cc and 300cc sizers. Only took pics with the 250cc and after checking them out when I got home I realized they look a bit smaller than what I am hoping for. I definitely plan to go back to my PS's office before surgery to try on 275cc and 30cc again and take lots and lots of pictures. Updated on 25 Sep 2016: I noticed on the pre-op pictures my boobs look higher than they actually are and I think it's because my ribcage sticks out quite a bit. I will post photos with 250cc, 275 and 300cc sizers when I go to PS days prior to surgery. I would go sooner but I think he went on vacation returning days before my surgery. Updated on 6 Oct 2016: Tomorrow is my BA surgery and I am super excited that the day is practically here! I have to be at the OR by 6:45am tomorrow. Since I was a bit uneasy about the sizers I tried on during my pre-op visit I decided to go back yesterday. I tried on again the 250cc, 275cc, and 300cc. I like the 275cc look the best, and Dr. R. won't know for sure which size will be the best for me till during surgery. I am confident he knows the look I want and trust he will put the best size for me. I was a bit nervous earlier in the day, but now I am just excited. My boyfriend is so awesome - he wants to make sure while I a awake and take time off studying this weekend that I will have some fun, and so we are trying out some new Wii-U games. Picmin 3 is super cool! I think I will play that quite a bit during my recovery. I also took off Monday, and Tuesday from work which gives me about 4.5 days to recover. If for any reason I don't feel well enough to go back on Wednesday, then I'll take an additional day off (very glad I am able to do that where I work). I am getting quite sleepy so I am going to get ready and head to bed. One last night being a A cup - I think the only thing I will miss about it is comfortably sleeping on my stomach. Good night all! Updated on 8 Oct 2016: Hi ladies, Day 2 is going better than day 1. Yesterday I couldn't keep much down except ginger ale and water for a couple of hours. I needed to take my antibiotics so I ate half a piece of toast, antibiotic with two small sips of water, and 2 bites of banana. It worked. I did take 2.5 percoset pills yesterday. I've also a pain pump since surgery which delivers pain meds directly to my breasts via 2 catheters. Today I've been able to eat toast with a bit of butter and chicken breast and ginger ale. I've super swollen from the sides which makes it difficult to move my arms. Lucky for me my boyfriend has been taking care of by making me food, giving me my meds, opening anything really like the fridge too. Also getting on the couch and bed. A trick is to use your abdomen to get up not your arms. If I walk around a lot and look down I get lightheaded, and head hurts a bit so I'm going try to just lay on couch or bed at an angle. Regardless of all of this I'm so happy I did this! Updated on 16 Oct 2016: Got the stitches removed 3 days ago and PS replaced them with tape that should come off in 4 days. The bruising went away around day 6. Started exercises twice a day and have a follow-up in 3 weeks. I still prefer to sleep at a couple of pillows about 45 degree angle. Wearing the bra PS gave me day and night (do remove to Wash of course). I bought a couple of bralettes at American Eagle and one for a few hours because I feel better in the bra from PS. I'll post some pics later.
