Natural Looking Results, I Get Compliments ALL The Time!

Dr. Ablavsky does the BEST tummy tucks in San Antonio, TX! I felt very well taken care of from start to finish & as a nurse I appreciate that so much! Dr. Ablavsky pays attention to the smallest details & I have my good health and goddess like figure to show for it! I was so nervous about my results, because I know how picky I can be. Every chance I get, I express how extremely please I am about my experience. Recovery was tough, but I literally have zero complaints about my results. This was my first cosmetic surgery ever and I am so happy that I chose Dr. Ablavsky to perform!

Highly recommend Dr. Ablavsky - cannot imagine a better surgeon

Dr. Ablavsky is a consummate professional. He has this ability to put you at ease right away. He takes his time to explain and is never rushed or judge mental. He is kind and considerate and I am so grateful for his care. He gives you his personal phone number and responds right away. In those early days right after my procedure (when the pain was relentless), Dr. Ablavsky wasted no time helping me with pain management and showed such diligence and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Ablavsky. I cannot imagine a better surgeon.

I Am Overjoyed with Dr. Ablavsky and my Results

It would be impossible to overstate how wonderful my experience with Dr. Ablavsky has been! From the first phone call to schedule my consult, to my AMAZING results, this has been one of the best experiences of my life. He is kind, patient, thoughtful, and considerate. He will make you feel like you are his top priority and he will see you at every appointment. Trusting him happens naturally and I felt like an important and valued person, not a patient. He explained what to expect every step of the way, and it went exactly as he said. He is so careful with his approach, and to be honest, it was so much more than a surgery or procedure, it was a skilled sculpting of my body. I feel so much more confident and like I have a part of myself back that I had missed for a very long time. My results are phenomenal, I can’t believe it!! Since my surgery I been to my primary care, my dermatologist, and my massage therapist for regular appointments and they all said it was the most beautiful results they had ever seen. They all asked about who my plastic surgeon was and where was he located! I truly believe he is the best there is. I don’t want to forget to mention his staff. I felt like they were always there for me, whether to help me schedule or answering any questions I had. They are genuinely interested in helping you and always attentive. (I am 5 months post op from TT and liposuction at hips, waist, bra line.)

I get emotional in front of a mirror realizing this body is mine.

My first impression from the initial phone call of Dr. Ablavsky’s office already stood him apart from his competition. Having my consultation was personally scary and almost embarrassing yet Dr. Ablavsky took my insecurities and feelings to heart and showed me that I indeed had done the hard work, I was left with excess skin that would never go away without surgery. He made me comfortable, I was never rushed, I felt like I was always cared for. Understanding that a tummy tuck requires much more than a scalpel, his creativity, wisdom and knowledge were such key components in making my extended abdominoplasty (and lipo of the hips and flanks) such a huge success as well as him explaining how this is a great way to springboard into maintaining the rest of my healthy life by removing all the extra skin. All practices are not created equal. Compare prices, read reviews and testimonials, see before and after pics, watch all the informative videos Dr. Ablavsky makes himself to provide you with all the information you need to educate yourself. He will get you through surgery with minimal pain and downtime and you will see spectacular results. I get emotional in-front of a mirror realizing this body is mine. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and gentle ways. His level of detail and compassion are top notch and apparent throughout his office and staff. Anytime I had a scare or concern, he was only a text message away. His office responded with the same level of attentiveness and care. I will only trust Dr. Ablavsky for any future work I want done.

Highly recommended, tummy tuck scar is thin, flat & straight

Dr. Ablavsky was amazing. My experience from beginning to end was superb. He is warm and patient, answering all my questions and concerns. My procedure went smoothly and I am delighted with my results. My scar (which was a high concern) is thin, flat and straight which speaks for his proven technique. Highly recommended.

Excellent Bedside Manner and Compassionate Care

I have to say, I am very pleased with my journey with Dr. Ablavsky and his staff. I had an unfortunate rupture and had no desire to go to my previous surgeon as there were complications and just poor care. I am so happy I selected Dr Ablavsky and his crew. I love my results!!! Not only do I look great I am confident that he and his staff will have my best interest

Blessed to Be in Good Care

From the first visit till now, Dr. Ablavsky and his team have been very professional. I had my Mohs survey done by Dr. Sorace, since I han skin carcinoma on my nose, and then the following day, Dr Ablavsky did reconstructive nose surgery. It was an ambulatory procedure and all went well. This happened two weeks ago, now it’s only a matter of my body to heal. I am very thankful for both doctors to have done such a precise and amazing job.

Amazing aftercare & I am extremely happy with my tummy tuck results

I had a few consultations with a couple of plastic surgeons and I chose Dr.Ablavsky because of his compassion, honesty, personality and his work. He made me feel calm and comfortable all the way up until the big day! The after care he provides is amazing and is always available for his patients! The office staff is wonderful as well! He is definitely a 5 Star surgeon and I am extremely happy with my results.

Pleased with the results and appreciative of his kindness and attentiveness

The first thing I noticed about Dr. Ablavsky was that he is a compassionate, nonjudgmental, active listener who provides education as well as feedback in a calm, respectful, and authentic manner. Most impressive is the time he takes with his patients. Dr. Ablavsky does not triple book so that you wait anxiously in the waiting room for an hour or two. Nor does he hurry you through your appointment or appear distracted by his busy schedule. Instead, he gives you his full attention and addresses your questions and concerns as though you are the only patient he has to see. The second thing that impressed me was how meticulous, yet relaxed Dr. Ablavsky was as he prepped me for my procedure. Watching him map everything out, I thought to myself, "This doctor has integrity...and is perhaps a tad perfectionistic!" Post-surgery, Dr. Ablavsky made himself available for any questions or concerns and, once again, listened actively and compassionately while educating about the healing process. I should add that his surgical skills seem excellent from my vantage point and I should probably give him credit for being a sculptor as well. I am pleased with the results and appreciative of the kindness and attentiveness of Dr. Ablavsky and his team: Mari and Francesca. Thank you!

Confidence regained - deeply grateful for the doctor and staff

Dr. Ablavsky was so professional and made me feel comfortable in the procedures we had discussed. He and his staff really took the time to answer my questions and give me all the information I needed. After the procedures that I received, I feel more confident in myself and the beauty that God gave me. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Ablavsky and his staff.
