I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction on my hips and flanks in early December, I'm at four weeks post-op, and the results already exceed my expectations. It's clear Dr. Kreidstein has extensive experience. He’s honest, straightforward, and never tries to upsell unnecessary procedures. Dr. Kreidstein’s humble, no-nonsense approach is refreshing. He doesn’t have a flashy social media presence, his office is not bougie, he doesn't have marble on the walls which means your surgery doesn't have an inbeded overhead cost in it. Everyone is approachable, professional, and kind, which made the whole experience reassuring and comfortable. They all care, and always get back to you in a very timely manner. For moms out there, I highly recommend asking about mons lift which helped me with urinary incontinence and the sex is incredible! I didn’t think I needed it, but I feel like my 20-year-old, pre-kids self again—it’s a total game-changer! Seriously ask!! I did extensive research before choosing Dr. Kreidstein and read every review on every platform, let me address the few negative comments: 1. The doctor’s bedside manner: If you’re looking for bubbly, over-the-top friendliness or a social media influencer/ life coach vibe, Opera maybe - he may not be the one for you. BUT if you want someone you can trust completely with your body while under anesthesia and who delivers outstanding results, Dr. Kreidstein delivers in spades. 2. The staff: Complaints about them not being “nice” are overblown. You’re here for world-class surgery, not a social club. Personally, I found the team professional and very kind throughout my experience. But it's all relative right? I'm comparing to our hospitals in Canada. Good luck finding anyone to talk to there. In a field where everyone is highly critical and expectations are sky-high, having so few negative reviews across multiple platforms over a long career in today's hyper sensitive society is truly remarkable. Think about that for a moment—it speaks volumes! If I ever need more work, I’ll be returning to Dr. Kreidstein without hesitation. He delivers in every way that matters. Thank you Dr. Kreidstein and team!
Extremely knowledgeable, caring and supportive. Listened to my desired outcomes and provided insight on how to get there. Considered many small details I had never thought of, but am very happy got brought up as these are questions I may have asked myself later on. Surgery day was smooth and comfortable thanks to his whole team providing reassurance and knowledge on the steps taking place. Post surgery treatment continued with ongoing support through in person appointments and phone calls. Julie and Deanne tied the whole experience together by being extremely pleasant and kind in check-ins and appointment booking from consultation to post op. The overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I could not have hoped for a more caring and experienced surgeon, team and clinic.
I was nervous about having my 30 year submuscular 280 cc saline implants removed. But I was determined it was time since I was never completely satisfied with how they looked. They sat a bit too high, and I was terrified to go under the knife again and have them repositioned, so I lived with it. However, with aging they shifted higher, and it was awkward at the gym during yoga moves or planks when my pectoral muscle would squeeze the implants further up. My first consultation was with a surgeon who advised I would need a replacement and a lift. When I mentioned I only wanted the implants removed, and nothing else, the surgeon looked puzzled and claimed I would hate my saggy flat chest, and would I wear padded bras the rest of my life. I didn’t feel comfortable with this viewpoint, it seemed just like a money grab and not what was in my best interest. After I had done some extensive research, my second consultation was with Dr. Kreidstein. He put me at ease and didn’t make me feel distressed about my decision to remove the implants without a replacement. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. It has now been three weeks post op and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Kreidstein did an amazing job. I followed all instructions exactly as provided to me, and now I am pleasantly surprised that the dissolvable stitches are already fading and unnoticeable. Also, to my astonishment, there was hardly any bruising or sagginess. The first three days my breasts were a little sore, though the pills numbed most of the pain. From the fourth day I was already feeling better, and smooth sailing after that. I am so glad I found Dr. Kreidstein and his team; the nurses, anesthesiologist, and the admin staff – Deanne and Julie. Everyone was welcoming and made me feel comfortable, not judged. I’m feeling so happy, healthy and blessed, even my husband is glad I have my beautiful little breasts back! Thank you immensely!
Dr. Michael Kreidstein and his whole team are simply wonderful. When you first arrive at Dr. Kreistein's office you are met by his office staff. I had the pleasure of meeting Julie and Deanne; kind professional, and very outgoing. They were both so helpful with scheduling appointments, responding to emails, and checking in on you after your procedure. Dr. Michael Kreidstein, WOW. He was phenomenal. So intelligent, extremely experienced, and very professional. He made me feel comfortable during the appointment and reassured me I would have the results I wanted, and let me tell you, he exceeded them beyond measure. I have never felt so confident in my own skin. He is kind, empathetic, and very reassuring. His office was immaculate, well organized, and I really enjoyed that they did their surgeries in the office. It's more personable and you truly receive 1:1 care every step of the way. To the Nurses and the Anesthetist, that I met prior to my procedure on the day of - they were incredible. I was definitely a little anxious (naturally) and they calmed all my pre-surgery jitters. They answered all of my questions thoroughly and really took their time to make this the best experience. I absolutely recommend Dr. Kreidstein and his team!
Dr. Kreidstein is of the highest professionals in the city. He is attentive, pays great attention to detail, and has a great aesthetic eye. I left the clinic with a sense of reassurance and confidence in the quality of care I received; his work is exceptional !
Had a nasty fall and hit my forehead on the hallway planter. It left a nasty scar right by my eye brow. I tried Fraxel with no luck and went to Dr Kreidstein for his opinion on scar revision. He takes his time, listens and is upfront about risks, telling me there is a small risk that the scar could be made worse or no visible improvement. I decided to go ahead and I’m very pleased with the results, significant improvement. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr. Kreidstein is kind, patient, and friendly. He takes the time to address all your concerns in a timely manner with no pressure. His staff is exceptional and attentive to all your needs throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Kreidstein if you are considering a cosmetic procedure.
My experience with Dr. Kreidstein and everyone that works with him was excellent. He removed my 450CC almost 18-year-old submuscular saline breast implants (no breast lift or implant replacement). It’s been seven weeks since the removal surgery and I feel great, my incision scars are healing amazingly and although the goal of the surgery was pain relief, the cosmetic result has exceeded my expectations. I was prepared for the worst since I originally had very small breasts and very large implants inside of me for so long. I had my breast implant surgery done when I was 25 years old and I am now almost 43. I’m still in awe at how great they look and at how much better I feel getting the weight off my chest. Dr. Kreidstein is a very skilled, honest, and experienced surgeon, who I believe holds your best interests above all else when discussing surgery options/outcomes with you. Admins Julie and Deanne, and the entire medical team were all very helpful and kind. Highly recommend! Some further elaboration for those who appreciate more detailed reviews… About three years ago I was referred to my original plastic surgeon by my family doctor after seeking out help for nerve and muscle pain that I was experiencing in the left side of my upper body. At my appointment with the plastic surgeon, I casually asked about breast implant removal (I didn’t know much about it at the time, I honestly thought I would have my implants in for life when I got them) as an option for relief and he made me feel as if I was crazy to consider such a thing. I left the appointment with a quote for breast implant revision surgery in hand and feeling badly about myself. I took medication, tried multiple attempts at physiotherapy, massage therapy and chiropractic treatments. I even lost 25lbs to try and alleviate any additional strain from carrying extra weight. Two more years pass and I am still miserable from daily aches and pains. Wearing bras would flare up my symptoms. I start to think about breast implant removal again. During one of my daily web searches, I came across a blog by a woman that had her breast implants removed without a lift by Dr. Kreidstein, a surgeon who happened to be located not too far from me. So, after months of research and wavering between going for it and forgetting about it, I decided that I was going to officially start the process of getting my breast implants removed by booking consultations with two surgeons in my area. One being Dr. Kreidstein, and the other I chose based on location and a review on RealSelf. I figured it was best to hear the opinion of two surgeons. At my consultation with Dr. Kreidstein, I told him that I wanted my breast implants removed without a lift and he didn’t react at all, just listened to me (I had my second consultation that same day and the surgeon basically told me that I would be left with deflated flaps for breasts and he suggested getting the lift if not for cosmetic reasons, but for hygiene reasons - which I’m sure can be true depending on the situation). After I finished providing information (probably way more than he needed ) on my medical history, weight fluctuations and surgery expectations, he examined me. He then presented me with a few options to consider based on what I wanted to gain by undergoing surgery, and what he would do to achieve this if I elected to undergo surgery with him. I ultimately chose Dr. Kreidstein as my surgeon because I trusted everything he said. He spoke kindly and frankly about my surgical options, and never made me question my decision to remove my implants. His clinic was very clean and professional in appearance. It looks like a medical facility and not a spa, which I know is not an indicator of a surgeon’s capabilities, but I personally felt more at ease in Dr. Kreidstein’s clinic than the other two I had been in. After all the research I had done, and reading/getting surgeons opinions on breast implant removal without a lift or replacement, I had prepared myself to possibly be left with breasts that wouldn’t look the greatest, but I would be fine with it because I was so uncomfortable with the large implants inside of me. Seven weeks later, my breasts look great. My husband even said he thinks they look better now without the implants. I am so happy that I came across Dr. Kreidstein online and decided to trust my gut and go with him. I highly recommend him and I would not hesitate to undergo any future surgeries with him and his medical team.
My experience was 10/10. 5 spectacular stars. A masterpiece in delicate facelift craftsmanship. I could not be happier, estatic to say the least with DR Kreidstein s amazing WORK OF ART as my friends and family call it. I’m kiki Ann bee on Instagram if you are interested in a visual recommendation. He is truly a genius in Turing back the clock and increasing self esteem. Thanks to his super staff for all their excellent care too. Kerry.
Dr Kreidstein did my breast Augmentation and I believe that there’s no other surgeon who could do this as good as he did. I fully trusted him from the very first consultation appointment as anyone who has an appointment with him can see how professional, knowledgeable and expert he is. Everything went smoothly and as he expected. On the day of the surgery, the anesthesiologist ( Dr. Christopher Hudson ) described the whole process to me and mentioned Dr Kreidstein’s work as “Magic” and it was truly a magic. My pain after the surgery was easily manageable by the pain killers they provided me and surprisingly I had neither oozing nor bleeding. The sutures were so minimal that I think the scar wouldn’t be even that noticeable. The shape and the size were perfect and as I wanted. Other staff were so nice and checked up on me the next day. I would recommend him and his clinic to anyone who wants to get this procedure done by the best of the bests. Can’t thank Deanne, Julie and Norma enough for their support and respectful manner during the whole time. I’m so happy that I trusted his advice for the size and everything. So excited to see the final results.
Your blepharoplasty is pulling down your eyebrow. Further blepharoplasty will only make this worse. You need a browlift to restore the previous height of your eyebrows. Best wishes
The skin on the back has very thick dermis and responds to aggressive liposuction by contracting. We have had great success in correcting these folds (see link).
If you are struggling to lose further weight, a tummy tuck now would provide a functional and cosmetic boost that may make further weight-loss easier. We have several patients who have gone on to lose another 50 + lbs and not needed another tummy tuck (?skin contraction is stimulated by surgery), and if you did need another tummy tuck that is not a disaster. Good luck!
Your large areolas will be problematic for breast lift, and it is possible that some areolar skin will need to remain along the vertical scar as fully removing the excess areolar skin in one surgery will create too much tension. This also means that adding an implant will compound the problem of excess tension. Safest would be to do a lift, leave some areola, and then do an augmentation later and perhaps excise excess areola that remains at that time.
Weight-loss is not a requirement before breast surgery, temporary weight-loss is not helpful, but if a sustained (nothing is permanent) weight-loss is expected then you should have your surgery once you are at your new stable weight. Changes in your body that occur with significant weight loss can profoundly change the type of surgery you need to get the best possible result.
