David J. Wages, MD

I am beyond thrilled with my breast augmentation experience! Dr. Wages' expertise and knowledge were truly exceptional. He took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The professionalism of the entire team was extraordinary, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. Additionally, my recovery time was impressively quick, allowing me to return to my normal activities, thanks to his meticulous post-care instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Wages to anyone considering breast augmentation. Five stars all the way!

I had a mommy makeover over a year ago (breast augmentation w/a breast lift and a tummy tuck) with Dr. Wages. I was apprehensive about an elective surgery but Dr. Wages and his staff took time to assure me and walk me through the process. After 3 kids, all over 9 lbs along with breast feeding left me with lovely, deflated saggy breasts and a distorted stomach. No amount of crunches, sit ups or dieting helped. I would look in the mirror and not feel the same. I was sad. I was tired. Fast forward to after my surgery....let me tell you, I get the chills. I wear things I would never wear!! my stomach is flat!! my breasts are full and sit where they should. I continue to workout and my new tummy muscle responds willingly and doesn't leave me tired. I am now approaching 50 and I am still benefiting from my mommy makeover. I did not expect perfection, but my expectations were exceeded. Dr. Wages is truly an artist and his team is top notch.

Hi everyone,

I have been reading everybody's reviews for the last 6 to 7 years and decided it's my time to go on the flat side. I have five more days to go I am so so nervous and actually afraid I am 66 years old and can't stand how my stomach looks. Any advice you can give me before I join you all on the flat side would be much-appreciated thanks!

Had my surgery yesterday, very sore today. Medication is helping so excited to look down and not see my bulge. I had a drainless tummy tuck from Dr. Wages he and his staff are wonderful !!! I have been using my walker must have! and I found this medical piece that allows you to stand to pee! Really it a godsend works perfectly. If you're interested I will get a picture of it. I would be glad to answer any questions going to close my eyes for a while.

Look how crazy good I look!!! I’ve never felt so good about myself in years! Do not hesitate to do this if it’s been on your mind go for it and chance your life. The hardest part is the first 5 days after that smooth sailing, I was out of work for 2 weeks I have a desk job so just had to keep getting up and walking around.

This Doctor is an artist and a magician in one! I have never had an experience that made me so elated over the results of the procedure. I am definitely returning for further enhancements and am spreading the word!

Being a mommy of 2 littles who were almost 10lbs at birth, I knew this moment would come. Dr. Wages and his team at North Shore Plastic Surgery are AMAZING! I knew during my very detailed consultation that he would do my surgery. He is known for his rapid recovery technique but I was still very nervous having this surgery so close to Christmas. I had my Mommy Makeover on December 17th (alittle over a week ago) and I am shocked that I am feeling so well. I had a breast lift, reduction and small saline implant, tummy tuck with the diastasis recto repair and a little lipo on my sides. I have my moments of discomfort and am still pretty swollen but I would recommend this procedure and surgeon to anyone who wants to look and feel better about their body! I will post pictures of my recovery, before/afters and updates as I go but feel the need to start telling the world about my experience.

Here are my pre-op pics taken the day before my mommy makeover. I requested these today when I went in for my follow-up appointment. I am almost 4 weeks post surgery.

Today went in for my 4 week post-op appointment. I am looking and feeling great!

Looking back, the first 3-4 days were the hardest with the most pain when I would get up from sitting/laying. That being said, I was able to go to my daughter’s holiday concert the very next day, but was moving at a gingerly pace. I didn’t want to risk feeling horrible so I stayed on top of my pain meds and I made a chart so I didn’t lose track of everything I was taking. Also, majorly important to take colace!

After a week, I started walking on my treadmill (level 2) for an hour (3 miles) daily to help with swelling. At this time, I only took ibuprofen for pain management.

By week 2, I would say the swelling and bruising went down substantially; especially on my legs/thighs and flanks. I have continued with moving as much as possible. I started driving at this point and probably could have after a week, but didn’t need to.. The undergarments were a love/hate relationship at this point. By week three, I bought I few different styles and I try to switch it up so I will continue to wear them. I have a whole new appreciation for SPANKS!!

Today, (week 4) my boobs & stomach are still swollen, but I am VERY happy with how everything looks. Most of the steri strips have fallen off before today’s appointment and Dr. Wages removed anything remaining. The scars are healing quickly and my new belly button is really cute. Below the new bellybutton is my old one. Dr. Wages removed the steri strip and reassured me that the old one will smooth out. I will post an update next month.

Amazing experience as soon as you walk into the office.
The staff is Professional, conpationet , and friendly.
As for Dr. Wadgers, he is a master of his art, Meticulous in his work, and well mannered .
Thank all of you, I am more than pleased <3

If you have been considering having any type of procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Wages - consult with him and see the new life you could have. I thought about having surgery for years, but never thought I could. Then I met Dr. Wages and everything changed, everything he explained, all the questions he answered - I was shown what really could be. Then I had the body surgery (midsection) that changed my life, that saved my life, it took me from the the hidden existance I had been living and now I have a healthier body, a healthier outlook, I haven't felt this good in years!! Dr. Wages and his staff were wonderful, attentive, caring and assuring, they checked in on me regularly after the procedure, the healing was seamless, I had no complications or side affects that I had heard about and the scaring was minimal. I carry myself with a confidence I haven't known in many years, this really gave me my life back!! There is not enough gratitude to express what Dr. Wages and his staff did for me <3

I have never been to a plastic surgery office so when I went there I didn’t know what to expect but when I went there it was painless and everyone there was very informative and polite, I will definitely be going back there. I went there for Botox on my forehead to revolve lines..

My first time at this office was excellent and that visit I did the Botox injections for my forehead lines then about two weeks later I went back for a facial and it was an amazing experience i strongly recommended you try it.. before I went to this office I had a lot of lines on my forehead and 2 weeks later absolutely no lines!! My face feels really good after facial..

I am very happy Doctor Wages did a reconstruction of my boobs I was so unhappy and in pain with a cyst and a big scar .
I went to 3 different doctors and any of them wanted to do it . One of my friends recommended to try with him and I did and in the first appt he told me that he will do it and he did it! Now my boobs look amazing and I don’t have pain anymore-!!!!
Thank you so much-!

Dr. Wages made my procedure very comfortable and very easy. The whole office has been very helpful and very patience with me! He did an amazing job - I highly recommend him and his team @ North shore Plastic Surgery.
