Dr. Swift is an amazing plastic surgeon. He has done two procedures for me last year and I'm not finished yet. I've seen many surgeons here in NYC and I feel most comfortable with Dr. Swift. He is sweet , caring and sincere and the best plastic surgeon I've ever encountered here in Manhattan so if you want something done right you have to go to the best !

Spectacular. He's brilliant, honest, fairly priced for how good the work is. His team is so kind & responsive (I had anxieties & questions, schedule issues & even payment questions lol...they were never once snarky as I navigated this big decision). They handled everything with confidence, calm, and expertise that made me feel safe, comfortable and yielded perfect results. I model, so I make some of my living off my looks and who I trust my face and body to really matters. I'm returning to them for other things shortly; Dr. Swift is the real deal. Want to look great, and have things go smoothly and easily? This is your guy. I'm thrilled with my choice. You will be too.

I have been a patient of Dr. Swift since 2017, for my regular Botox and fillers. He’s an artist and very talented at bringing out your natural beauty... so naturally, when I was deciding to remove my 10 year old breast implants, I knew it had to be with him. I was so undecided (and scared) at this time and he was so patient with me. He answered all my questions and we discussed realistic expectations.. I went back and fourth about this for about a month because I wanted to be ready and confident with my decision to take them out...and have another surgery I didn’t want to regret.. I met with dr swift again for pre op and he just made me feel so comfortable.. I was actually excited to be taking my implants out and I could wait for my surgery date!!! I went into this surgery *hoping* for normal looking breasts, I had already accepted that I would have scars and was feeling very ok about what I imagined the *new* me would look like... I knew I *needed* these 650 CC silicone implants out and to move on with my life. Dr swift was amazing before during and after, he always got back to me when I called to speak to him and took care of me in all my post op appointments. I am now 11 weeks post op and I could not be happier. When I say Dr swift changes my life, he literally gave me my life back. I have never felt more like myself or more beautiful with my natural breasts. (Who would have thought) I cannot believe the beautiful shape he was able to achieve with the lift or how perfect my nipples are. I am still in awe every time I take my silicone tape off and shower. They’re beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. I’m finally free from hiding from my implants and don’t have to hide my new breasts after removing them, that is priceless..

Dr. Swift is caring, honest, and has an amazing aesthetic eye. I've been seeing Dr. Swift for a few years now and I fully trust his judgement. Dr Swift has years of experience and it shows in his work. You truly leave his office not only looking more beautiful but also at peace knowing that you are in good hands.

I rarely write reviews, but because I relied so heavily on the reviews posted here on realself during my own process of finding the right plastic surgeon, I feel indebted to this community and hope that this review will be helpful to someone one day. I apologize in advance for how long this review will be.I recently visited Dr. Swift to undergo the submental chin liposuction procedure, and everything was smooth-sailing and professional. I did the fact checking so you don't have to: yes, Dr. Swift is properly board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (he doesn't have to recertify until 2029).During the complimentary in-person consultation a few weeks prior, Dr. Swift patiently explained every step of the procedure, addressed all my questions with no judgment, and thankfully didn't push any extra procedures onto me. Although he is fully vaccinated, he kept his face mask on (which I appreciated), and his office is very clean and bright. His demeanor is measured and reassuring, and it's clear that he is well experienced and knows what he is doing.Although there are very few chin lipo reviews for his practice, he explained that this is a common procedure that he does at least once a week. Given my age (28), relatively stable body weight in the "normal" BMI range, and hereditary lack of a defined jawline/chin, he agreed that I was a good candidate for this procedure, and that I would see a moderate yet natural improvement.After the consultation, his assistant Anastasia (who was incredibly warm, friendly, and reassuring!) reached out to explain pricing: $1,000 to book the appointment slot, an additional $2,500 for the rest -- coming to $3,500 total.After a lot of research/consultations with other NYC-based practices, my understanding is that this price is fairly reasonable -- plastic surgery is not the place to hunt for bargain deals. She also explained the pre-op process, asked for my pharmacy to send medications to (antibiotics, Valium, and such), and was incredibly reassuring from start to finish.On the day of the procedure, you bring all the prescribed medications with you. After filling out some paperwork, I was told to change my top into a loose medical gown, take the Valium and wait until it took effect. When I began to feel calm, I was shuffled over to the operating room where I laid down and the process began!The numbing part is honestly the most painful part, everything else was bewildering/strange but painless. If you’ve ever gotten local anesthetic from the dentist, you know what I’m talking about – sharp pinches where the local anesthetic gets injected and then complete numbness.While we waited for the numbing to take full effect, Dr. Swift and Anastasia chatted with me to keep me company/occupied, then he took out a long syringe (and thankfully covered my eyes with gauze because I am a big chicken) and filled my double chin area with tumescent solution from three small incision points: under my chin, then one behind each ear. Dr. Swift explained that this was a mixture of more local anesthetic and epinephrine, which helps reduce bleeding/any complications.He then used a cannula (a small, skinny, hollow tube) to vacuum out the fat and tumescent solution from the same incision points. The actual process of injecting the solution and vacuuming it back out was extremely quick, and as someone who has never gotten any procedure done before, it felt crazy. There is no pain, but you are aware of the pressure/aggressive movement of the cannula.After he was finished, he stitched up the small incisions, sat me up, put a piece of foam under my chin before wrapping my head up with a simple chin strap, and I was good to go! Including the paperwork and the waiting, start to finish, this was a two-hour time commitment at most. I was told to keep water away from the stitches and keep the chin strap on for 48 hours before entertaining a shower.I will be keeping this chin strap on 24/7 for at least a week, and was told to wear it as much as possible for roughly a month. So far there is minimal bruising and already (only after a few days) I see a subtle difference in my profile. I know that you need to wait for a few more months for the swelling to completely go down, but I am very optimistic about what I see thus far.If you have ANY questions about my experience with chin lipo or with Dr. Swift, I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability. I am the type of person who tends to over-research things to death, so I’m happy to be a resource for others interested in this procedure. If there is interest, I am debating posting photos and continuing to update this review; but if not, just know that I have been very happy about my experience with Dr. Swift and Anastasia and highly recommend him if you are looking for someone skilled to do your submental chin liposuction procedure.

Hey guys! I had my second labiaplasty done on Monday as I am a perfectionist and wanted some small fixes to the original. These are things no one would notice but I wanted a bit of a smaller appearance of my clitoral region. I know these reviews help so I wanted to continue the process! The surgery was painless. Dr. Swift has always been amazing and his staff too. They always make me feel very comfortable. Updated on 31 Oct 2020: I have sincerely felt just fine this recovery. It has been much easier than my first one as it was more minimal. I am back to walking normal, able to sit down and can do normal activities just at a slightly slower pace. I feel great and now I just get to watch the swelling go away gradually. My last labiaplasty I was always so concerned with how everything looked, however, it truly is a marathon not a sprint. I was constantly obsessing over looks and that is NOT the way to do it. The swelling will go away but it takes TIME. My goal this time is to be very patient with myself, take care of my incisions and be relaxed knowing my outcome will be great in due time just like last time. Updated on 1 Nov 2020: My dates are off because I had the surgery Monday and today is Sunday so it’s technically day 6 but I’m going to roll with it LOL (: Updated on 2 Nov 2020: I have my week check up today! While I’m sure all is good I will keep you all posted. Best! Xx Updated on 3 Nov 2020: Updated on 4 Nov 2020: Updated on 5 Nov 2020: The external stitches are becoming more loose and I think are edging their way to falling off which means ITCHY and catching on clothes. I’m pain free though just can’t wait for the stitches to fall out. Updated on 16 Nov 2020: Hey guys!! Successfully made it to three weeks. I had to cancel my check up appointment as I am reaching finals in university. I apologize if you have commented to me and I have not seen it. I am unable to be on here as much. I will continue weekly updates as I feel daily changes are extremely minor. Updated on 23 Nov 2020: Hey guys!! Just a four week photo update. I think I’m able to have sex at four weeks but I’m not going to do anything for another week. I feel really good! No pain. Taking care of incision sites and not exercising too crazy. I am actually interested in feedback as far as how you all think I am looking. I need an outside point of view since I see myself all the time.

Hello all, yesterday 8/18/2020, I had a Labiaplasty done with Dr. Swift in NYC. He's an amazing doctor and his staff is just as amazing. Ever since I was 8 or 9 years old, I noticed that I had large labia minoras -- they hung pass but labia majoras and one was even longer than the other. They were uncomfortable and I often found myself struggling with certain activities and clothes. I also dealt with chaffing whenever my panties rubbed against it, which would make walking uncomfortable as well. I thought this was something I would have to live with until I discovered the Labiaplasty procedures a few years back. I was so thrilled and knew that I wanted to get this done because it wasn't only affecting my daily life, it was affecting my love life as well. I was super self-conscious about my vagina and how it looked -- which in turn, lowered my self esteem. A few weeks ago, I finally decided I wanted it done. So I came on real self and decided to look at reviews from different doctors; I came across Dr. Richard Swift. I started looking at his before and after pictures and I fell in love with the way he "designed" vaginas (LOL). So I sent a consultation request via RealSelf that Friday evening and by Monday morning, I received an email from his assistant/coordinator Anastasia. She is such a doll, and so sweet! We emailed back and forth and she answered all my questions; she managed to get me a consultation for the following day. When I arrived at Dr. Swift's Private practice on Park Avenue, It was very nice. Anastasia greeted me with the warmest smile and I filled out paperwork. The office is very welcoming, and the music they play is so nice. After I filled out my paperwork, I waited about 10-15 mins and was walked to the consultation room. They even let my mother (who accompanies me everywhere lol) come into the room with me. She ask me to change into a robe and that Dr. Swift will be in shortly. I was a little anxious because I was showing my vag but when Dr. Swift came in, he was so welcoming that he immediately put me to ease. He gives great conversation and made me feel very comfortable. During the consultation he looked at my labia and gave me a mirror so I can see as well, we spoke about how the Labiaplasty is a very popular procedure at his office and that he does them a few times every week. He also spoke about how he doesn't usually like to do the "wedge method" and likes to use a particular method that gives a better and smoother results. The consultation went great, and I was sold. We also discussed anesthesia, and he said while general anesthesia can be administered, it is mostly done through an oral sedative and local anesthesia. I decided to just do the local anesthesia for two reasons: 1. I didn't want to be put to sleep and 2. I am on a time constraint because I go back to work soon, and I would not be able to get a sooner appointment. After I put my clothes on, I was put into an office to discuss how much the procedure cost and what to expect pre-op and post-op. I knew I wanted it done ASAP. The procedure cost $4,500 but Anastasia shaved off $500 for me because I was scheduling sooner rather than later. So I paid my money right then and there and scheduled my surgery for a week later. The day before the procedure, Anastasia emailed me that morning to let me know that she put my prescriptions in and that they would be ready to be picked up in about an hour. I had a small issue with one of the medications and reached it to Anastasia that evening. Even though they were closed, Anastasia still replied back to me within 5 minutes of me sending that email. The communication with this place is great this far. If I have a question, Anastasia answers back in a prompt manner! The morning of the procedure, I had to take an antibiotic an hour or two prior to my arrival at the office. I also had to take my oral sedative when I got the office. I was the first surgery of the day and I was anxious but excited lol -- the Valium helped me relax though. The procedure itself was not as painful as I thought it was going to be. On a scale from 1-10, where 10 is painful, I will say it was about a 4. The most uncomfortable parts for me was when he was injecting the numbing agent and when he was stopping bleeding (I'm unsure of the medical term, I think they call it cauterizing the veins). Other than that, everything went smoothly. If I jumped or if I felt the slightest pain, Dr. Swift immediately put more numbing solution in the area. He's very nice, and takes his time. I'm calling him the MASTER LABIAPLASTITIER lmao. Another assistant was in there with me for support. She was super sweet and held my hand during the procedure. At the end of the procedure, she was more than willing to take my before and after pictures on my phone and she even took a picture of the skin he removed. I love my vagina the minute I got off the table. He told me that it's swollen so it may look a little weird, but with time it will go down. I loved how it looked right than and there, it was a huge difference. At the end of the procedure, I felt great. I did not feel any pain and was walking normally. Maybe it was in my mind, but my vagina even felt lighter lol. I would say the pain did not start kicking in until an hour after the procedure. I started to feel uncomfortable. On a scale from 1-10 I'll say the pain when I got home was about an 8. However, Dr. Swift gave me pain killers and I took them. The first day is hard, it's painful. It's hard to walk because your vagina is swollen and it hurts because of the incisions. But I took my pain meds and I also iced the area. The first night wasn't bad, I managed to sleep through the night. Today is the day after the procedure, and right now I am not feeling any discomfort. I'm continuing to ice the area and take my pain pills. I will be updating on my recovery as well. Tomorrow I have my first post-op appointment, and will update you all on that as well. However, my experience with Dr. Swift and his team have been great thus far. I am pleased with my results right now and he's changed my life.

I went to Dr Swift for a labiaplasty six months ago This is something that I have wanted to do since I was about sixteen years old and now, at the ripe old age of 55, I finally got the courage to do it! I couldn’t be happier it was so easy and literally painless. I was shocked at how little discomfort I actually had because I expected it to be very painful. I was in jeans the next day. He performed the labiaplasty under local anesthetic, and the injections were the worst part but that was over very quickly and then I felt nothing. He used dissolvable stitches. I also opted for an augmentation of my labia majora, which had lost volume due to my age and having gone through menopause. He took some fat out of each of my hips and injected it into the labial area. It looks so much better! I feel comfortable in my own skin now - wish I had done it twenty years ago. Oh well - better late than never! :) Dr Swift is very kind-hearted and skilled. You’re in good hands.

After having 3 kids my breasts have never been the same Dr Swift did my tummy tuck 13 years ago and it still is tight! I’ve gained weight but it’s still tight in my tummy! Amazing job he’s a perfectionist. So I wouldn’t think of using anyone else for my breast lift! (No implants) did some fat grafting as well

I have gone to dr swift for my Sculptra treatments for 3 years now and I would not go to anyone else. The combination of his experience with this product, his injection precision and artful approach is priceless. Would never think of going anywhere else.
