I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kevitch and his staff. I am 2 weeks post op from breast augmentation and crescent lift and could not be happier! He is AMAZING!!!! I had lost all my volume and fullness from breast feeding but didn't really need a lift. Dr. Kevitch knew exactly what I needed and they are PERFECT!!! So far I've had minimal pain and absolutely no bruising, which I was very surprised about! My stitches were taken out 3 days ago and I am shocked at how good everything looks. You will not be able to tell AT ALL that I had a crescent lift and my implants are a perfect size, even with swelling they look natural, so I only expect them to get better over the next few weeks!
Dr. Kevitch is amazing. He is calm and made me feel so comfortable with the procedure. I am young and never had any surgery before. I put complete trust in Dr. Kevitch and I am amazed with the results. I had a wide and uneven bridge on my nose and he explained exactly why and how he would fix it. When he took my bandages off I was amazed. My nose is straight, the bump is gone, very symmetrical, and much smaller. It fits my face and is everything I ever wanted. He completely exceeded my expectations for my nose. I am so thankful for him! Highly recommend!!!
I am 48 years old and just not loving the way my body looks. Gravity time and surgeries make me sad whenever I look in the mirror. My husband buys my clothes he thinks I will look beautiful in and I hide them in the back of my closet because I can see my sagging abdomen. I have had 2 c sections and a hysterectomy. The three scars are very close together and form an indent at the base of my abdomen. Because of that I have a perpetual muffin top with a flap of skin that overhangs. I have had this when I was thin or heavy. I am overweight now although I work out several times a week and eat healthy most of the time. I am fairly content with most of my body except my stomach and my boobs. I always loved my breasts but they seem to have fallen. With my most recent weight loss and I guess gravity I find they look like empty balloons. I have to lift them up inside my bra and they just seem like they have lost their stuffing. I am having a tummy tuck lipo to flanks back and abdomen and a breast lift. I am going back in about six months for implants if my girls are not full enough but want the lift first. The ps stated that implants and a lift together do not always have the desired outcome. Updated on 25 Sep 2016: I am starting to feel more normal then I have since my surgery. I tried to do some errands and shopping today. I am still a bit too sore for any real shopping but it did feel great to be doing normal things again. I still have some swelling and the lipo areas are still a bit uncomfortable. The Arnica cream really does help those areas though. I am so thankful I found this place for tips like that one. My scars still look ugly but I do like the shape of my abdomen and breasts. I am really liking the way my body looks with clothes on. It is so cool to not look down and see that pendulous abdomen that I have hated for 25 years! I love how my waist is more narrow too. Not all is fantastic but that is OK. My right breast keeps leaking at the incision. It isn't infected so it is just a nuisance but that is one more thing I am anxious to not have to deal with. Tomorrow he will remove some sutures.
Dr. Kevitch is the best! He is a great person, easy to talk to and an incredible plastic surgeon. I have been seeing him for a few years now for botox, Juvederm, and for Smartlipo and I couldn't be happier with the results. I also referred friends to him and they are also very happy with Dr. Kevitch!
Wanted it since I was old enough to realize I had a big nose... But man was it worth it. I feel 10000x better about myself. Dr. Kevitch is a master. Excellent care and work I had a deviated septum and my nose was crooked slightly off to one side. The septum was straightened and my bridge was shaved down to create a slight slope; the tip of my nose also was shaped to be more defined than the previous bulbous shape.
Dr. Kevitch is a gem, one of a kind! He is compassionate, a perfectionist and an outstanding surgeon. He's truly an artist and I appreciate all he has done for me. I have recommended him to friends and clients and they are all thrilled with their results. If you're looking for the ultimate PS, look no further. Dr. Kevitch is the best!!

Dr. Kevitch is an artist and such a nice man. He took his time explaining everything to me and made sure I was comfortable. I wanted him to go a little longer with the incision to remove some stretch marks I had and he gently explained how he felt I didn't need to go that extensive and he would get what he could. Which to my delight was nearly every last one! His bedside manner is amazing, he took the time to even calm my husband down the day of surgery! Recovery was rough the first few days but controllable with pain meds. I am almost at the one year mark and I am thrilled with my results! He is a genius ! So much so that I just recently had him remove a Sebaceous cyst from my face and I am planning on him doing my nose next year. I have a pretty good deviated septum that I have been afraid to have corrected until I met Dr. kevitch! Seriously if you need a surgeon go and see him, he is the best!
I am 5'4, weigh 128 and looking for 300-350 cc to replace lost volume due to breast feeding. I am a 34 b now and hoping for a full c. I have a 14 bwd, and my breasts got very large during pregnancy (34-36 DD/E) so I can fit large implant but don't want to be too big. I'm a runner and don't want to worry about size. I also have a very hands on job, so I think it would be obvious. Nervous and excited! Updated on 31 May 2015: everything went very well. Recovery was very smooth and I am feeling great. The size is perfect for my lifestyle, I was a 34 b and am now a 34c or d in some bras. 5'4, 128, 300 moderate profile plus.
I had wanted to do this for a while. Last summer, I went to see an ENT, who had confirmed my enlarged turbinates and deviated septum after several sinus infections. This past year, I had 4 pretty bad sinus infections which included losing my voice. I didn't miss as many days of work as I should have- i just stuck it out and went anyway, which I think just made things worse. The antibiotics were really hard on my stomach as well. I've always breathed out of my mouth because of constant congestion. My allergist had once told me that I am constantly congested to the point that it is probably normal for me, not ever having the experience of "normal breathing". I've had nasal sprays, but never liked them draining down the back of my throat. My husband told me that I snore at night, too. I didn't believe him until he recorded it. Wow, do I snore loudly. I am hoping to be able to breath out of my mouth on the treadmill at the gym. I can't hear myself because I listen to music, but for the people around me...lol Since I have off during the summer (I'm a teacher), I decided the best time to have this done was now. I was pretty impulsive with scheduling, and fortunately my doctor had an opening within 3 weeks of trying to make the appointment. My insurance covered part of the procedure since some of it was considered "medical" (the septoplasty and the turbinectomy). I scheduled the appointment for July 18th- 2 weeks before we fly to the Dominican for a family vacation. The doctor said that I would be well enough to make the trip. During my consult with Dr. Kevitch, he confirmed what my ENT had seen last summer- the deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. His plan was to fix both of those problems as well as the slight hump on the bridge of my nose and my droopy tip. I also asked if he could do something with my "turkey waddle" on my neck, since it wasn't getting any better and surely, with age, it was just going to get worse. I figured since the anesthesia and surgical sight fees are separate, I might as well take care of it now, so I didn't have to pay more later. My profile from the side has, to me, always been unattractive. I am hoping to improve that as well as my breathing. DAY 1- FRIDAY- Went in without any reservations. I am no stranger to surgeries or anesthesia, so I wasn't scared at all. I am familiar with my doctor's work, so I wasn't worried about that either. I just wanted to get it over with! Everything went well as expected. I went home wrapped up like a mummy- chin strap, nose cast and all. I just wanted to sit down and go to sleep, but I needed to stay upright. My throat was so sore from the breathing tube they used during anesthesia. Breathing was difficult because of the packing in my nose and the constant feeling of dripping from my nose. I took the pain meds before bed. it was the worst night's sleep EVER...so uncomfortable. DAY 2- SATURDAY- Woke up super-early. Felt groggy, but not in pain, just a little uncomfortable and really swollen. My left eye was pretty black and blue with a nice shade of purple. That chin strap business, though. Seems so tight. My friend came over later in the afternoon to check me out and was there when I changed the bandages around my neck. She couldn't believe how my profile looked already- just after 24 hours. No turkey waddle. Amazing. Felt great, cleaned my whole house. I'm just one of those people who can't sit still or waste time. The packing comes out tomorrow. That is the worst. The actual discomfort from the surgeries themselves is not a problem. it is more the packing in my nose and the sore throat from the anesthesia tube. And this too shall pass... DAY 3- SUNDAY- So pumped to get this packing out of my nose! My face was REALLY swollen this morning. My husband was (jokingly) calling me "mask" today- like the guy from the 80's movie of the same name. I was cracking up, but I can't laugh too much. I don't want to bust these stitches open!! The swelling went down after an hour or so of being awake. Went to get the packing out. It is Sunday and my doctor so kindly came in on his day off, with no one in the office, to take it out. He forewarned me that it would burn when taking the packing out. Well, he was not lying. I can't even describe the feeling-very, very weird. I wish I would've looked at them when he was finished. It felt like he pulled a surfboard out of each nostril. It felt bigger than what I thought it was. As much as it burned, let me tell you about the INSTANT RELIEF and ability to breathe...it was SO CLEAR! Granted, there was a ton of drainage, but it was much better than not being able to breathe! Throughout the day, I just wanted to blow my nose, but I knew I couldn't. It was so runny, but it felt as if there was stuff still in my nose. After getting in there gently with a Qtip, I found some large pieces obstructing my breathing on one side. What a relief when I got that out. Still seeing a lot of blood attached to things. I'm sure that will be that way for a while. I am getting used to this nose cast, although it is a pain because I wear glasses. Took the pain meds before bed and continued to prop myself up to sleep. It will help keep the swelling down. DAY 4- MONDAY- Getting better every day. I made the appointment to get the cast off- Thursday at 9am. I tried to schedule it a day earlier before another scheduled (dermatologist) appointment, but they said that the stitches, cast, etc. needed to be in place a week before they were removed. My left eye is still a little black and blue, but getting better. Not so swollen when I woke up this morning. My neck was more swollen where the chin strap had stopped. I'm not worried though. I massaged it out and it was fine. I am prepared for the swelling to be there for a while and trying to keep my expectations realistic. I lightly blew my nose today- I was getting more congested, which the doctor said would happen. I went to Target late in the night tonight- had to get out of the house!! I feel so much better than what I did on day 1 and 2. I just had to keep telling myself it would get better. It really was crappy the first 2 days...I'm not gonna lie, but I am sure it will be well worth it in the end. Updated on 24 Jul 2014: Had my appointment today to have my nose splint and stitches removed today~Thank God! :) It was so hot yesterday, the splint was getting to be itchy and uncomfortable. I was itching it by sticking toothpicks under the tape of the splint, which was a temporary relief, but it started to loosen the tape. Luckily, I had my appointment early in the morning. My appointment was pretty quick and painless, taking the stitches out of my neck and nose. My Doctor was not in, but the other doctor who took the stitches out said everything looked great and was surprised that I was not as swollen and black and blue as he usually sees. I am happy with the results and have no regrets. I think I will be even happier as time goes on when the swelling goes down. I go back in 5 days to have a recheck with the doctor who did my surgery.
Dr. Robert Kevitch was recommended to me from a receptionist at a doctors office that I go to. Both her and daughter had the same procedure done and was happy with the results. I then after doing more research had my Breast Reduction and Lift with him on OCT 1, 2013. Dr.Kevitch did an amazing job on my breast and I am so please with the results. My pain was more like discomfort ,but everyone is different. I am so please with my results that I am going back Sept 2014 for a Tummy Tuck. I would recommend Dr. Kevitch to anyone in a heart beat.
