Joseph Mazza, MD

Excellent care......office staff was professional and well appointed.....Physician and NP were very nice and accomodating....with results that gained alot of compliments. I would recommend Dr Mazza to anyone looking to enhance their appearance

Dr. Mazda is a true artist. Choosing him for my recent tummy tuck was the best thing I've ever done. The results are spectacular. He and his staff are friendly, supportive and accommodating. This group of professionals are top notch in everything they do. When I saw him during my follow up, I told him I loved him, and I meant it. He has changed my life. I'm so very proud of my new look, and I owe it all to Dr. Mazza.

Had a bilateral mastectomy in Dec 2014. decided to have a tummy tuck when they do the exchange from tissue expander to implants. I am treating myself as a reward for kicking cancers butt!
I have had 3 c section, an abdominal hysterectomy, and a hernia repair at the same time as the mastectomy.
I know it's going to be rough, but after everything I have been through. I can do this !

I have always wanted a tummy tuck. 3 c sections a 70 lb weight gain and loss left my stomach like and elephants skin. Diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago. Chemo and a double mastectomy in Dec 2014. Tissue expanders put it. I decided I was going for the tummy tuck when they did the exchange to implants. One week and one day post surgery, I am beyond ecstatic !!! I am swollen, but even so, a million times better. 

Before pic is with tissue expanders. After is implants.

I can't believe it's been 5 weeks. Still wearing binder. Not 100% back to normal activities. But feel great!

I can not believe the results! Still wearing the binder. Spanks if we are going out. No pain. While I am not ready to run a marathon, I feel normal most of the time! If I over extend or bend to far, I am reminded not to. ;-) it's just right.
Overall? 100% would do it again !

After about 15 years of considering rhinoplasty, I have finally decided to do it. I am scheduled for surgery exactly one month from day on March 14th! My nose has always bothered me, due to the large size, bulbous tip and bump that I have (I'll have to post some pictures later). I know this will give me the confidence I've been lacking and I can't wait to take a profile picture that doesn't make me cringe! :)

I am nervous about being under, although I've had a few minor surgeries before. I think now that I'm a mom, I have a fear of not waking up. I know deep down that everything will be fine but I'm a natural worrier. I have two little boys 6 and 15 months, so the recovery is a concern but I will have my husband and my mom, who is a nurse, here to help.

If you have any advice or if you're just going through the same pre-op jitters, I'd love to connect! ;)

I really dislike my profile!

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm sure the second guessing and anxious feelings are normal, but I have to admit I'm awfully nervous. Between the anesthesia & recovery...my mind is busy. I'm a control-freak by nature, so it's tough to just trust and relax.

Updated on 14 Mar 2014:
Surprisingly I feel great! Congestion is the biggest complaint at the moment. anesthesia was a breeze. Tomorrow or later I may not feel so great but 3 hrs out I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the support!

I had some heavy bleeding from left nostril but I have no packing so doctor said ice and sit up. Seems a bit better. Throat is the most annoying thing at the moment. Combo of mouth breathing & breathing tube, I suppose.

Updated on 15 Mar 2014:
Took the drip pad off this morning & that felt good. One nostril is completely clogged & I can breathe a bit through the other. My very sore throat is the only complaint right now.

Updated on 16 Mar 2014:
Pain, more like heavy pressure from swelling, is the worst today. Still not horrible but I'm tired & haven't been able to sleep well the past two nights & can't get a nap in. That's the worst...being so tired you can't sleep! Thinking Tylenol pm may be a good idea for tonight. :)

I don't get my cast off until Monday but recovery is going well. Hardest part is relaxing. I'm always on "mom-mode" so trying to sits down and relax it's tough.

I have an earache & sore throat-I think the throat breathing tube & the ear is allergy related. If those two things would get better, I'd be all set!

I'm excited to see the results but keep reminding myself that there will be swelling.

I got my cast off yesterday. My nose is still swollen and numb, which feels weird. The doctor cleaned off most of the glue in the office but I can still feel some of that today. I'm still a bit nervous to put makeup on so I've avoided that.

I love my nose even with the swelling! I'm only disappointed I waited so long to get this done! :)

I always had small breasts that always made me feel UN-proportioned. I seemed to always need to be thinner, but then would feel like a boy! I met with Dr. Mazza and instantly knew I could trust his opinion, having also been referred by several women that were thrilled with his work. I wound up opting for "adjustable" implants, due to the fact that my rib cage was not large enough to hold a bigger size without looking unnatural. Many friends of mine had had undesirable results from not having such an honest and talented surgeon. I was more than thrilled, my breasts look fantastic and natural, even after 13 years. No one ever assumes I have implants. I cannot stress enough how wonderful Dr. Mazza was after my procedure as well as his team. I whole heartily recommend to this day anyone who asks me to speak with Dr. Mazza! You will not regret it! The only caution I give to women considering implants, is that to be mindful of how big you, or even to small....This is the very reason "adjustable" are the only way to go!

I was not impressed with the entire procedure. First, they do not tell you EVERYTHING that could happen, what you can expect in the way of recovery, pain, scarring, long term effects, etc. Then, after surgery, they do not give you anything to take home to tell you what to expect. For three months after surgery, I looked nothing like myself. In the long run, my results proved to be minimal. The one thing I really wanted corrected were my jowls (which I expressly stated)....they are the same. I was not told before the surgery that nothing would be touched around my entire mouth, thus I still have those deep creases. It has been two years and I still have numbness around my ears and along my jaw line. I have a brutal scar behind one ear. My neck is greatly improved but there is not much difference in my face. After the surgery, I did not find Dr. Mazza very sympathetic to my concerns.

Although I did not expect Mazza to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, I did expect to look improved after the procedure. Sadly this was not the case, plus I now have to live with discomfort that I did not have prior to surgery.

I went to Mazza for a procedure considered "medically necessary" which would have been covered by insurance if it had been performed in the hospital. However, he described the disfigurement the "medically necessary" procedure would cause, and recommended that I have an additional cosmetic procedure performed for an ascetically superior result. For this I was to pay him $4,700 in cash plus an anesthesia fee of $750 payable by check to a third party. His reason for not using the pre-approved insurance coverage was that his ambulatory surgical center is not accepted by insurance companies, and to have the additional cosmetic procedure performed in the hospital would cost me more. The results were beyond disappointing, leaving me not only looking worse than when I entered, but also having discomfort where before I had none. When I returned hoping this problem could be resolved, he agreed it looked bad, and quickly left the room. He had his assistant come in to offer his recommendations: the first costing an additional $6,300, and the second costing an additional $9,300.

Amazing bed side manner before the procedure but really discounted my concerns afterwards. That really surprised me as he was so attentive before the procedure during the initial consultation. His attention is what "sold" me on choosing him over the others. I couldn't have been more wrong! I am now left with misshaped and uneven breasts that are painful along with horrible "jaggered" scar lines. I expressed this to him and his response was "what do you want me to do about it?" in a very sarcastic manner. I do not recommend

As all of you, have been wanting a lift since after breast feeding the third and last child. I like to run for exercise and tend to need two sports bras as I don't like any bounce. After getting over (mostly) the guilt of spending money on myself, I made an appointment with my chosen surgeon. My pre-op is next week.

I had lost 110 pounds and just could not stand the loose skin...both upstairs and down. I had a full tummy tuck and a breast lift with augmentation. The first two days were difficult. I went back to work at 2 weeks and had no trouble. I am pleased with my results so far. I had 275 cc high profile silicone implants. I did not want "[RS bleep] boobs". I just wanted the fullness so I would not fall out of the bra. I am 5'6" and I weigh 160 pounds. I am now a 36 D which I think is perfect. I did not want my boobs to be the first thing people noticed about me. And no one at work said a thing! I developed a seroma on the lower left side of my abdominal incision. I am wearing the Spanks AND a binder and it is getting smaller by the day.
