Had an amazing time having my breast augmentation done with Dr. Joe. Everyone I met and/or talked during the entire process was so kind and answered all of my 1,000 questions. I never took prescription paid meds after the procedure, only Tylenol and even that was just to help with swelling. Can’t wait for them to be fully healed, they already look great!
So Happy, I Did This! Tummy Tuck

I’m so happy that I did this! I’m a runner, I had recently gotten back into shape after having two babies and breast-feeding, but there was still extra skin on my belly and my breasts. I was still wearing my postpartum band to go running when my youngest kid was three! So I went in for a consultation, and felt really welcome, so I ended up staying with this surgeon. I had a mastopexy with augmentation, and an abdominoplasty. I’m nine weeks out now, and I’m wearing the same jeans from high school, literally went to my parents house and tried it on my high school jeans, and they fit. And I’m able to jog with one bra, and no belly band!
The results have exceeded my expectations Eyelid Surgery

I'm writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and his incredible team for the exceptional care I received during my recent upper blepharoplasty. From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt welcomed and valued.
The entire experience was seamless, from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and team took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, and his expertise and gentle demeanor put me at ease. The procedure itself was a breeze, and the results have exceeded my expectations.
I'm so grateful for the positive impact this procedure has had on my self-confidence and overall well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Joe and his team to anyone considering upper blepharoplasty. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their patients feel beautiful and empowered.
Thank you again for everything!
Sincerely,
Kristine Breimhorst

Dr. Joe Truly Gave Me my Confidence Back! Breast Implant Revision
2 months post-op
Dr. Joe truly gave me my confidence back. Dr. Joe performed a pocket revision surgery for a surgery he did not originally do. After 1.5 years of living with an implant that didn’t fall correctly I was left feeling exhausted & unheard from the original surgeon. Dr. Joe validated my concerns & did absolutely everything in his power to support me. To finally feel heard & validated, brought my heart so much peace. I was immensely struggling with my confidence & body, after what was supposed to be a beautiful personal investment to full body freedom; it impacted my mental & emotional health tremendously. Dr. Joe’s ability to be kind, encouraging, & provide comfort through this extremely sensitive process touched my heart in a way that is truly indescribable. The conversations & what he did for me up until this point in itself definitely changed my life, but there’s more. After fixing the original breast he felt that the other one needed a revision as well & with the permission from my S/O, he did just that. That on the table decision that he made reveled another life changing event as something was discovered that would not have been if Dr. Joe did not act on his gut feeling. I have immense gratitude for Dr. Joe & his surgical staff for making that decision. This process the second time around has been beautiful, as I desired with my first one. It has been healing to me on all levels & I feel complete joy with my body. Dr. Joe is an amazing surgeon, and most importantly an amazing person. Thank you & your team for absolutely everything you have done for me! You all have made this process effortless for me! It is an honor to have received work from you & with tears of joy I can express that I absolutely love my perfect breasts!

Beautiful, round, natural looking and feeling breasts Breast Augmentation
3 months post-op
I cannot give Dr. Joe and his entire staff enough stars, my entire experience felt like a dream. From the warm and friendly clinic staff, in depth consultation (where all my questions plus more were answered), the surgery itself (I felt fine the very same day as my surgery and was back to caring for my toddler as normal with no pain or complications), to my results themselves (I started tuberous, I could have never imagined I could have beautiful, round, natural looking and feeling breasts). I also love that Dr. Joe does both over the muscle and under the muscle placement as well as every incision type, that way you know you are getting the very best personalized advice. I went with 290cc mentor boost mod plus, over the muscle. I am 5’2 and was 130 at the time of surgery with a bwd of 11.4.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Response from Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS Dear optimistic,
Thanks for your shout out to me and my staff. We really enjoyed your company and enjoyed taking care of you. You truly are an optimist. Looking forward to seeing you for any follow-up visits. All the best, Dr. Joe and Work family.
I couldn’t be happier and I’m still in the healing process Eyelid Surgery
8 days post-op
Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz and his staff are exceptional. They are very caring and friendly. It was easy to do zooms as I lived three hours away. They scheduled my consult the day before my surgery so I didn’t have to travel twice before the procedure. The reason I picked Dr. Joe is because of his many years of experience, looking through photos of his work, I’m very picky (I researched 5 different surgeons) I had liposuction on my chin and neck and blepharoplasty on my eyes. Dr. Joe made my eyes look exotic!! I couldn’t be happier and I’m still in the healing process.
Response from Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS We are all so happy with how everything turned out. And we even just did it in the office without anesthesia, just sleeping pills, and some Novacaine. It really changed your appearance, turned back the clock and I’m glad you’re happy. All the best, Dr. Joe, and Family.
Great Experience from the Consultation to the Post Op Appointments! Breast Augmentation
18 days post-op
I had a great experience being Dr.Joe’s patient. I was impressed from our initial consultation all the way through our follow up appointments. At my consultation he answered all of my questions and gave me a book that he wrote. This book was very informative and walked me through the procedure process while teaching me many things I had not thought about.
I absolutely LOVE his work! After having 3 kids and breastfeeding all of them my breasts were not a party of my body that I liked. Now I love them!
Recovery was great, all I needed to take was Tylenol! Overall, Dr. Joe is an amazing person and doctor and I highly recommend choosing him to be your plastic surgeon.
Response from Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS It makes me happy that you’re happy. I’m glad you enjoyed my book. It is an easy read. It’s nice to undo what the kids do to your breasts. I can’t believe you took just Tylenol. We use the quick recovery method, and it seem to work. Have a healthy new year. Dr. Joe in Team.
I am so beyond happy with my results Breast Augmentation
15 days post-op
Dr joe was absolutely incredible!! He made sure that he was thorough with the decision process ensuring the best outcome. I am so beyond happy with my results (breast augmentation) and would recommend that anyone who is considering getting a breast augmentation done (or any cosmetic procedure) should see him!
Response from Dr. Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS Thanks for your kind review. It takes a village and we all work together to help you achieve your plan and your wish Pictures. All the best and I will see you next year. Dr. Joe.
