Worth ItTummy Tuck

Trustworthy773186

Dr Maresky is Excellent and Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Dr. Gideon Maresky! I travelled to South Africa from the U.S. and scheduled an appointment with him for a second opinion regarding a tummy tuck to address loose skin in my abdominal area. I was initially going to go with another surgeon in Cape Town, but after meeting Dr. Maresky, I felt so comfortable and confident in him. He struck me as the kind of person who would do everything possible to deliver the best result, so I decided to proceed with him instead — and he did not disappoint. Dr. Maresky has a great sense of humour, and he is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He proposed performing the tummy tuck in a way that would leave only one scar instead of two, as the other surgeon had suggested. He also had availability within a week, which suited me perfectly since I had planned to recover in South Africa before returning to the U.S. and had limited time. During the surgery, he did everything I had asked for to deliver the very best results (some of which he could only determine once he began the procedure). After my surgery, he was with me every step of the way, and I was in daily contact with him. He never compromised on my well-being and insisted I keep my fluid drain in for as long as necessary. I followed his instructions exactly, and now, five weeks post-surgery, I’ve had no issues at all. Although I am still swollen, I can already see that the results are going to be excellent and exactly what I wanted. Dr. Maresky is not only a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, but also a truly lovely human being who is deeply committed to and genuinely cares about his patients. Go and see him for a consultation and you will see!

Exceptional Care and Expertise – Worth the Journey!

I traveled internationally for my procedures with Dr. Maresky because he was outstanding from the very first consultation. I’m quite anxious and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I felt comfortable and fully informed. Instead of just following my initial requests, he used his expertise to help me determine the best course of action for my goals.Throughout the process, he was not only highly professional but also warm, kind, and fun to interact with—both for me and my friends and family. He went above and beyond to make sure all my concerns were answered. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for his competence and care! Highly recommend.

Liposuction

WEBSTER GATAKATA

The Experience Was Beyond Expectation

I was hesitant to have liposuction and gynaecomastia, but was able to commit and have this procedure as Dr Maresky was reassuring and calming. My surgery was on time and his team is very friendly and reassuring. When I got out of surgery i was shocked at the way I was transformed. My tummy was flat and man boobs gone. I was very well taken care of at the hospital and Gideon personally checked up on e just to ensure all is well. I continue to receive support as i am slowly healing . I would recommend this surgeon for any body aesthetics works as I can guarantee great experience and results.

I was in awe of the care and support I received

I had a brachioplasty performed by Dr Maresky . I was in awe of the care and support I received from Dr Maresky after the procedure. I have never come across a doctor that gave his patients his cellphone number to contact him at anytime. Dr Maresky is really passionate about his work and wants to make sure that his patients are 100% satisfied with the outcome. Knowing that I had a doctor perform surgery on me that showed so much care and concern about his patients is really reassuring. No matter what your plastic surgery needs, I will highly recommend Dr Maresky, he is the BEST.

Dr. Maresky makes you feel safe and listened to

I had a very severe case of gynecomastia that I have dealt with my whole life. I can genuinely say that it was the best decision of my life going to Dr Maresky. I had many consultations with other surgeons in Johannesburg and Cape Town. All the other surgeons wanted to perform procedures that would leave me with large scaring around the areola. I am now 6 months post-op and have literally no scaring whatsoever ! I could not be more thrilled with the results. Dr Maresky is a great guy, he makes you feel safe and listened to, he takes time to explain the procedure in detail to you and he was also the most affordable surgeon that I consulted with. Overall 10/10, would recommend him to anyone struggling with gynecomastia.

World Class Doctor. Excellent Results! Quick and Easy! No Problems Whatsoever. Thank You.

I opted to choose a South African Plastic surgeon even though I was located in the US. During my month-long visit to South Africa, I came to see Dr. Maresky. He explained the process and a couple of days later I went in for the procedure. I did not encounter any issues after my procedure and my results are amazing. Truly life-changing work.

It has already had such a positive impact on my self-confidence

I had an otoplasty done 2 weeks ago by Dr. Gideon Maresky and it has already had such a positive impact on my self-confidence. I cannot recommend Dr. Maresky enough to anyone looking to get something done. From the second I walked into his office he made me feel extremely comfortable about something I've always been deeply insecure about and struggled with. He did such an amazing job and has quite literally changed my life forever. I cannot thank him enough!

If You Want Peace of Mind and Great Results for Your Surgery Dr Maresky is Your Go to !

I had a tummy tuck and liposuction done on the 11th of December 2020. I’m completely blown away by my results 6 weeks later , my stomach is flat , I have a better shape to my body (I was square prior) and the scar looks like someone just scratched me .From start to end Dr Maresky made the experience expectational pleasant.His service is professional and his friendly and enthusiastic personality made the experience 10 times better as I was nervous. I will forever be grateful to him for this experience.

Dr Maresky is an Awesome Surgeon

I went to see Dr Maresky. He was easy to get along with and made me feel relaxed with my questions. He did surgery on me 1 week ago and it’s amazing and I’m thrilled. Thank you once again for everything. I can highly recommend him to all.

I would highly recommend Dr Maresky

I would highly recommend Dr Maresky. I had a breast reduction and lift and the results are way beyond my expectations. He made me feel so comfortable, everything ran super smoothly and the support provided by him and Kulsum before and after surgery was amazing.
