Robert M. Kimmel, MD

Dr Kimmel is an excellent plastic surgeon.
I had a breast lift without implants done last year. I'm very happy with what he did and would go back to him . He's very friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend him.

I had a lip lift by Dr Kimmel and it came out PERFECT! I was so reluctant because I didn't want the "rabbit" look if too much skin was removed and was also concerned about whether my very long philtrum could be shortened enough to look good. His fee was very good and the results amazing. I wish I had my own before photo

Go to platinumskincare.com to see how you can minimize your lip lift scar. I have been buying their products since Jennifer set up shop and have used her peels on my scar to make it an ever so tiny sliver.

Reasonably priced, not painful at all. Great help to relax my forehead from looking angry all the time. 2nd treatment, 1st lasted about 3 months. Hopefully can go longer in between treatments in the future. Happy with Dr. Kimmel and his staff, at both the Hazleton and Pottsville locations. Would definitely recommend!

I'm sorry, I forgot to take before photos.

Hey everyone! I can not begin to say how excited I am to have found this site :) I am 25 years old. I had my consultation on March 30 th it went great. I have lost 40 lbs and intend to lose 40 more before my surgery date.

Boy has this been emotional for me I have been working out 2 hours a day on top of working 13 - 16 hours a day so I can save for my big day. I am so concerned about the healing process and how soon In will be able to get to work. Although I am so EXCITED and can't wait to have a flat belly and the improvement I'm my self esteem :)

please anyone with tips i am all ears and if anyone can answer this one question how often did you meet with your ps? Thanx

Hey everyone I am approximately 24 hours post op :-) I can best decision of my life my surgery was scheduled at 7 am on th 26th N its 3 am on the 27th. Pain level none just pressure Nd discomfort easily fixed by rearranging pillows and re positioning myself. My girlfriend has been amazing gosh idk what I would without her. I am working around a lot hunched over mostly took the meds so it would de energize me lol. I can't believe how little I am even with swelling and bandages. The doctor informed my girlfriend he took off 8 1/2 pounds the just the TT and another 2 ponds in lipo he commended me on the weight loss since my consultation which said will give me better results my procedure was about 3 1/2 hours. Ahhh so excited lol I will try and update again soon :-)

I had a full tummy tuck with lipo of the anterior flanks.

I will start with the cons, as there are only a few. Number one, the discomfort. Number two, my second drain had to stay in a little longer so I wouldn't fill up with fluid (everyone is different) and it was very uncomfortable to walk with after a while.

The pros...where do I start? I've been heavy off and on my whole life, mostly on. As a result I've had an "apron" stomach that hung low enough to cover my pubic area entirely. When I finally decided to take the weight off the apron would get sores underneath it and sometimes the skin would break at the crease underneath.

There were days I was too uncomfortable to exercise. Needless to say my self esteem and physical life have been severely impacted for years. I never really even realized the extent of the impact until after the surgery. I am so glad I went and had it done.

Before the surgery I thought at times that I was crazy for doing it that I had lived this long this way, I should just accept it but I see now that would have been the biggest mistake I could have ever made. The slight back ache I had for years? Gone! Trying to hide behind really big and long shirts? Gone! Not having enough lap for my child to sit on? Gone! My stomach bouncing against my legs as I walked if I didn't have it "contained"? Gone! My fear of someone bumping into my squishy apron and being grossed out? Gone! There are way too many wonderful changes that have happened to list!

It was painful and sometimes still is uncomfortable if I do too much and become swollen. I'm still recovering (about week 6 post-op) but I am telling everyone it is so incredibly worth it! I feel alive and normal for the first time in so long I can't even remember!

It's funny to realize when I go to do something now that I had been compensating the way I moved my body to accommodate my hanging stomach. My abs feel incredible! Do what you feel you need to do to take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place. Your pennies are so worth your happiness, health and vitality! You are worth it all!

I wish I had before and after pics I could access right now to upload!

I was looking to get rid of laxity in upper eyelids and lift my lower lids.
I had a fat graft transfer to get rid of some hollows under the eyes, as i lose weight my eyes look buggy and i look as though I'd been in a concentration camp. THAT look. Not wanting to offend anyone. Just give a visual starting point and ending... suffice to say, he took WAY too much skin and now i've got severe lower eyelid retraction that needs to be repaired. I need to tape my eyes at bedtime because i STILL cannot close them all the way when i sleep . My upper lids are just as surgically malformed as my lower eyelids. Too much skin taken so much that it is pulling on my eyes and they have an outward projection, my face will NEVER be the same.
Dr Kimmel, i think after seeing my before and after pictures you out to give me a refund of AT LEAST the surgical fees of over $5450 .
Because this is hideous and you should be ashamed. I'm mortified.
I cry every night. My eyes won't close all the way and I look like theyre going to pop right out of my socket.
Its been 2+ years and its getting worse. You have quite literally mauled & scared me for life.
I will NEVER be the same!!

I'm 30 yo, 2 kids..10 and 11. 180 pounds.. I finally decided I'm ready for a tummy tuck with muscle/hernia repair and lipo to the flanks already have my surgery scheduled with doctor Kimmel can't wait so excited...
