I had the best experience with Dr. Abdollahi and his wonderful staff! I am one year recovered from my abdominalplasty, and I’m thrilled with the results! I had tons of questions and was provided excellent guidance to heal strong and beautiful! Highly recommended!
Dr. Abdollahi and his office staff are absolutely AMAZING! From day one everyone has been so friendly and always willing to answer my questions. I recently had an Panniculectomy with muscle tightening and I could not be happier with my results! At my first appointment with Dr. Abdollahi he made me feel comfortable and I knew I made the right decision with him and his staff. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking. Dr. Abdollahi is incredible at what he does and the girls in the office make you feel like family!
I am just shy of two weeks post-op from a most wonderful "Mommy Makeover" surgery, which entailed a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction of the flanks and abdomen, and finally, a breast augmentation with lift. One would think that after a rather exhaustive procedure, a patient would be in quite a significant amount of pain and discomfort. I am beyond pleased (thrilled rather!) to report that my recovery has exceeded my wildest expectations, and this all due to the exceptional work at the hands of Dr. Hamid Abdollahi, his dedicated team and the caring staff at Centennial Surgery Center. Understandably, I was quite anxious prior to my procedure, but Dr. Abdollahi, as well as his Physician Assistant and Nurse, thoroughly and patiently answered all of my questions and addressed each of my concerns, no matter how exhausting. The day of surgery, Dr. Abdollahi matched my nervousness with enthusiasm and positivism ("This is going to be fantastic!" he said, as he marked up my torso in the O.R., quickly putting my mind at ease.) To help manage my pain, Dr. Abdollahi expertly injected Exparel, a long-acting anesthetic, into the operated muscles during surgery, which, to my delight, eliminated the need for any (I repeat, zero!) prescription pain medication post-op. I was thrilled to only need Advil, Tylenol and, of course, good old-fashioned rest, to get me through that first week, the toughest recovery time period. Dr. Abdohllahi and his nurse frequently checked on me that week, by phone and email, to make sure that I was comfortable and healing well. Then arrived the moment when I was able to take a peek at my new body. It was truly "Christmas Morning" for this 40 year old mom of three little boys, as I could hardly believe my own reflection in the mirror. Although I've always been mindful of my diet and I exercise very regularly, I simply could not seem to rid myself of the loose, saggy skin, the lack of muscle elasticity and, of course, the somewhat deflated breasts left to deal with the aftermath of pregnancy and nursing. Well, ladies, no more! Mirrors do not lie and the youthful body of my 20's had returned, even with the usual post-op swelling. Dr. Abdollahi had contoured my waist beautifully, performed a natural and tasteful breast augmentation using a silicone implant above the muscle, eliminated all of my abdomen stretch marks, and created a beautiful, natural-looking belly button (a misshapen belly button can often be the tell-tale sign of a tummy tuck, but not with Dr. Abdhollahi- he created a belly-button that is infinitely better than my old one.) I know how absolutely hard it can be for us Moms to put ourselves first, and how the decision to have plastic surgery can often be wrought with guilt, fear and anxiety. Placing my trust in Dr. Abdollahi's surgical expertise, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail was one the best thing's that I have ever done for myself. If you are teetering on the edge of this big jump, trust yourself in Dr. Hamid Abdollahi's care- you will not regret it.
From the first consultation, to my last follow-up, I knew that i had made the right decision by choosing Dr. Abdollahi. I was quite apprehensive at first, but my concerns were thoroughly addressed and in the end I was extremely happy with my experience even more so my results!
Dr. Abdollahi performed a revision of a previously completed breast reconstruction that was done by a different plastic surgeon. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Dr. Abdollahi is a very kind and competent doctor. I wish that I had met him earlier in my cancer diagnosis. I can't say enough good things about him!
A mother of four and in my 50's, I could not get rid of the lower belly bulge, loose skin and stretch marks. After hearing about the program at Lenox Hill, I made an appointment with Dr. Abdollahi. Dr. Abdollahi made me feel comfortable and confident that I would be happy with the results of a tummy tuck. I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Abdollahi was very attentive and available to address any concerns or questions I had.
I have the vertical sleeve and lost the weight rather quickly. I originally was a 44DDD and am now a 38B. It was so worth it! My breasts were like deflated balloons and I was so embarassed that I had to tuck the excess skin into my bra. I also had the vertical thigh lift at the same time and it was painful but the results are so amazing. My scars are healing very nicely and I am treating them daily with a scar gel. I did have one minor complication with one thigh but it had nothing to do with the surgeon. It was a seroma which is a collection of fluid that sometimes happens after an extensive procedure & a lot of tissue is removed. I never developed an infection because Dr. Abdollahi was very thorough in addressing it. I forgot to mention that every time I left a message or emailed him he always responded in a timely manner. Sometimes I didn't even contact him and he checked in on me. If you are considering any type of surgical procedure I highly recommend him. I will post photos soon as soon as I get the chance.
I thought I needed liposuction and I was surprised to hear that I needed a thigh lift. Never even heard of that procedure before. I had the cut down my inner thigh, panty line to inner knee. Dr. Abdollahi made sure I could accept the resulting scar. He suggested I take time to think it over. Great Dr.
I had gastric bypass in 2008 and finally in 2014 decided I wanted to get breast implants. I was recommend by a co workers to go to Lenox Hill Plastic Surgery Clinic. This is where i met Dr. Abdollahi. At the last minute I also decided to liposuction on my abdomen and communicating with him was easy. I am extremely happy with his work and my results. I would highly recommend him to anyone, you will not be disappointed,
I was quite nervous about having my first surgery in my life. After my initial consultation with Dr. Hamid Abdollahi, MD, he reassured me and I knew I was in good hands. The surgery went well and I left hospital the same day. I was able to go back to work in a few days with no problem. The outcome of the surgery has exceeded my expectations. I am quite happy to have made this change in my life.
Dear Madboutart, Congrats on your upcoming wedding, very exciting. In terms of your question, you would be a good candidate for either Kybella or lipo. The Kybella will get rid of the fat right underneath your chin. You would likely need 3-4 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart. Which may not give you the result in time for your wedding. Furthermore it may be more cost-effective to do liposuction. If you are not opposed to having liposuction, I think you will get a more drastic result in less time. Both are good options for you and I think having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help guide you in the right direction. Best of luck, H
Looking at your pictures, I believe you would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. This would be both beneficial in terms of your breathing as well as the overall appearance of your nose to make it more harmonious with the rest of your face. I think your next step should be to obtain an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in rhinoplasty surgery. All the best, -H. Abdollahi
Dear Ashley, It is often possible to proceed to combine to procedure at once as long as you are healthy enough to tolerated the longer time frame under anesthesia. The only obstacle may be your post op recovery, as when you have a bbl we encourage you to stay off your back and with a breast lift we don't want you on your belly, so you will have to sleep and recover on your sides. The best thing to do is to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon for further discussions. All the best, -H. Abdollahi
Dear Vale, It is hard to decide whether or not a rhinoplasty is for you. I think that is a decision is base on what bothers you and what your goals are. The best way to decide is be evaluated by a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns and review possible outcomes. All the best, -H. Abdollahi
4 days post-op is very early to tell the final outcome of the procedure. There is swelling and tightness in both breast and with time it will certainly change. I would allow for several months before getting a better assessment of final outcome. All the best and speedy recovery, -H
