I was over 350lbs during my teenage years due to being heavily medicated and institutionalized. I lost all the weight with healthy eating and exercise and have consistently exercised for 25 years but there was only so far I could get with exercise. I got a lot from reading these reviews so I will be thorough. No kids, no health issues. Lots of hanging skin due to the weight loss. Menopause made it worse. I did my research and consulted with many doctors. I considered going to Florida because I didn't just want a tummy tuck on the level of basic. If I am going to go under the knife and pay my hard earned money I want to feel good looking in the mirror. You may know what it's like to move your extra skin, and you can see what you could look like if you hadn't had it. I am 5'4 around 137lbs usually. After one consult with a CERTAIN cincinnati dr I will not name here I left crying because he made me feel so ugly, yanked my skin around, on my face, which I thought was fine, basically picked me apart. I had the thought of blowing it off, if all surgeons are A-holes like this one. I finally found Tork, and I just loved his work. You could tell from his before and afters that he was taking years off these women with the procedures. What I was most impressed with was his "seams" as I say, the sewup job is immaculate, beautiful. So I went to consult. IT WAS HARD TO GET IN. I had to fight my way in there for like 2 years. He was between offices, changing from plastic surgery group. I was willing to fight, I didn't think I could get this work around here on this level. I can be pushy when I want something. Consult, I did not have to feel so bad stripping down. He was so gentle and positive and has something nice to say. There were some ideas about the procedure, but I wanted specifically what I wanted not what he wanted, even though it would have been amazing on my body, it was a boundary for me that I didn't want to under anesthesia over 8 hours. So I had chosen tummy tuck 360 lipo. Booking was a little messy due to the changeup in his office I think or maybe because he is busy I don't know. I won't gloss over that. I told him I wanted to keep my hips and curves, I like the thick look. I had gained a little weight before the surgery to make sure, my boobs, hips and thighs would be as big as they could be after. February 3rd, I went to Journeylite. I was not nervous. I have wanted Tork to do this for at least 2 years. Let's get it done already! The night before he had done drawings on my body, I really didn't know what exactly he was planning. The team of ladies came over and they told me they would be doing a catheter but luckily after I was already knocked out! Glad about that. Dr Tork came to talk to us. I was knocked out pretty fast. I woke up and honestly I was in a ton of pain. The nurse gave me some sort of pain meds for it. I can't describe the feeling, but I think it is what you'd expect realistically. That's another thing I won't gloss over. I have a high pain tolerance also, apparently tummy tuck is one of the hardest things to go through. I wanted to go home immediately even though I had the option of staying. Dr Tork did see me before I left and explained how it went. He said they worked some magic. I was able to walk upstairs. We got set up for the long haul, my fiancee is an amazing and patient caretaker. Nausea. Pain. Your body doesn't like it. In addition to all their meds I took Indica weed gummies and Firelands Scientific Indica tincture. I like it for the pain and sleep and nausea and less side effects. Absolutely terrible, so much pain, getting up and down. Constipation and acid reflux due to the meds. Your job the first week is just to stay alive. Couple days, went in to see the doctor and he showed the incision to me the first time. I loved it, on my T juncture it didn't even look like it had been cut or sewed. It was perfect for me. Better than I expected. I do everything the doctor says, except due to constipation and such I couldn't get down the protein I needed. I worried this may have led to slower healing for me. The doctor is so gentle I had almost no bruising. This is insane given what was done. The seam is sewn internally. It just looks like it was glued together. No dog ears, no weirdness to it. My bellybutton looks super pretty. He says in the future we may do bellybutton training to deepen it but I don't know, I like it how it is so far. People say the first 3-4 days is the worst. That was not my experience, I felt terrible for 9 days. The 9th day was when I started to feel better. I didn't ever really feel the incision. I just felt sick, pain, and sharp pain internally where the muscles were sewn together. I didn't take the percocet but two times because I can handle the pain better than constipation. I am 2.5 weeks out. I busted a stitch at my T juncture with my first big cough and have some drainage to deal with. I love showering! I hate the FAJA and I hated the drain, gross. I am so happy with my procedure. Dr Tork has seen me for several followups, always meticulously caring for things and wrapping things up, he is always gentle and caring. He has been in contact with us through the whole thing with texts and calls. We are really thankful that Dr Tork is in Cincinnati with his skill level and that he wants to work so hard for his family, (I'm assuming that's his motivation) because I couldn't have gotten a better result or care anywhere. I hope to update further as I heal. Forgot to say, it lifted my legs skin. He lifted the mons and lipoed the mons to make it all seamless. Taking years off My body, the worst years. Get a walker. Do heat packs. They help healing a lot. Don't wear the faja too tight. Do your protein shakes, premier protein are easiest to suck down, wish I had got them earlier. Updated on 28 Feb 2025: In this video you will see that I am still just a little bit hunched over... that is the reason for the hunch in my back. I also hope that if you are looking to have this procedure you understand that there is a lot of healing time if you have kids you will need having help with them. I cannot imagine having done this with children Running around. I am very pleased so far with how things are looking. Updated on 28 Feb 2025: Today was another nice quick check in with Doctor Tork. He is very busy, he showed up in scrubs right directly from surgery and was smiling and always very nice. He took the pictures for my Before & After with the same bikini that I wore when I went in first, I can't wait to get those pictures back. I am very blessed my fiance has been by my side the whole process with me, and he was there to help today as usual, as the Doctor explained how to use the special silicone scar tape. This did cost a little extra and also he explained how to do the belly button training. I was confused about this because I personally feel that the belly button I am looking at is perfect the way it is, but Doctor Tork says that it is important because the scars will change and that is how the silicone and the belly button training will keep everything looking nice. The scar tape itself cost A little extra money, but it is supposed to last for several months. Doctor Tork seems to be pleased with the healing so far and he also gave me a new and clean foam for under the faja. You have to wear the faja 24/7 for 6 weeks... I also am now able to sleep on my side and to sleep in bed although I often like to pile up a blanket underneath my waistline just because I am kind of meticulous myself about the curves right now and my current hip 2 waist ratio is awesome. I am beyond pleased but I cannot wait till the day I can remove my faja and start walking around looking like this with my new body, try on clothes without having to position my extra skin like some of you probably know what I'm talking about! Updated on 20 Mar 2025: Finally I'm out of the faja during the day and I can wear yoga pants instead. Such a relief. Can't wait until I'm out of the faja for good...still have to wear it at night. Yesterday I had my first lymphatic massage. I booked it with Satori by Deborah in Cincinnati. She did a wonderful job. I felt comfortable with her and I felt like I lost a little of the swelling and stiffness around my waist right after. She was very informative about how salt and fat will affect the process and has gone through it herself! I overdid it on the garden work the day before our massage so my knees were swollen. Posting a video with a good view of before and afters from the process I've been through over the past few weeks. Another followup with Dr. Tork today, hope I'm doing my bellybutton training correctly.
Dr. Tork is truly a remarkable surgeon, and I can't stop bragging about him. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in the right hands. He's not just a surgeon; he's an artist who takes the time to understand what you want and need. He listens carefully to his patients' desires and concerns, ensuring he fully understands their goals. Alongside this, he provides his professional opinion on the best possible results, blending his expertise with the patient's vision. His skill and attention to detail are extraordinary, making the results look completely natural and beautiful. I recently had an abdominoplasty with Lipo 360 at the beginning of July, and even though it's still early post-op, the transformation has already given me so much confidence. When I look at myself in the mirror, I am so impressed with the results. The work Dr. Tork has done has exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Tork's artistry and passion for his work were evident even before the procedure began. His pre-surgical drawings showed meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of how to enhance natural beauty. This level of preparation made me feel confident and reassured that I was in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about his patients. At my recent post-op appointment, Dr. Tork's reaction was amazing. He was genuinely excited and even got goosebumps seeing the results. It was clear that he was as invested in my happiness as I was. That kind of passion and care is rare to find, and it's one of the many reasons I'm a lifelong patient. I trust Dr. Tork completely, and he's the only one l'll ever go to. Dr. Tork's down-to-earth nature and genuine compassion make him not just a great surgeon but a wonderful person. He's approachable, kind, and always puts his patients first. He's truly taking over Cincinnati as the best in this region, and I feel so fortunate to be in his care. I'm looking forward to my future procedures with Dr. Tork, knowing that with him, I'm always in the best hands. My journey with him has been nothing short of exceptional, and I can't wait to see what comes next.
I had called and visited a few doctors in 2023 to decide who I would then have surgery with. Once I met Dr.Tork I knew right away he was the one. He took the one at the consultation and was so informative. After having my extended tummy tuck and lipo 360 he was calling and checking in with me daily. The after care was better then I could have imagined and so were the results
Dr. Tork is a remarkable plastic surgeon whose expertise and meticulous approach have transformed my perspective on body image. I underwent a tummy tuck 270, liposuction 360, and fat grafting to hip dips in October 2023, and the entire process, from consultation to recovery, was seamless. His staff was exceptional, providing attentive care and support throughout. Dr. Tork's attention to detail is unparalleled, and he ensured that my expectations were realistic from the outset. His precision and calculated techniques instilled confidence in me, knowing that I was in capable hands. Even post-operatively, his dedication to communication exceeded all expectations, demonstrating genuine care for my well-being. Having experienced his expertise firsthand, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Tork to anyone considering plastic surgery. He is not just a surgeon but an artist, shaping bodies with skill and finesse. I wouldn't trust anyone else with such a significant transformation, and I am immensely grateful for his expertise and professionalism.

Dr. Tork is an exceptional plastic surgeon who performed both a tummy tuck and breast implants for me. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Tork and his team were professional, caring, and attentive every step of the way. Dr. Tork’s expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, and provided me with realistic expectations for the results. His surgical skills are truly top-notch, and I am so thrilled with the outcome of both procedures. Not only is Dr. Tork a talented surgeon, but he also has a warm and compassionate bedside manner that immediately put me at ease. He and his staff made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire experience, which was incredibly reassuring during what can be a vulnerable time. I am beyond satisfied with the results, and I cannot recommend Dr. Tork highly enough. If you are considering plastic surgery, look no further than Dr. Tork for exceptional care, expertise, and the BEST results.
Dr Tork was everything I could've asked for a surgeon. He has amazing bedside manner, and is present throughout the whole process. Even during the healing process, he made himself available, whenever I had a question. He is a perfectionist in his craft/artistic abilities. Most importantly, he is such a genuine and compassionate human being. I would go through the process with him 10 times over if I had to.
I researched every plastic surgeon within a 5 hour radius of Cincinnati for 2 years. I came across Dr Tork’s Instagram and instantly fell in love with how he created extremely natural looking belly buttons. After my consult with him, and seeing how meticulous he was, I knew he was the best. My tummy tuck FAR exceeded my hopes/expectations. My belly button is so natural, you can’t even tell a surgery was performed. My incision is so symmetrical and the scar is paper thin as a result of his stitching technique. He created these amazing contours in my abdomen I never thought were possible after 100 lb weight loss. Though his work is phenomenal, his post-op care is truly what sets him apart. He is the most patient and kind surgeon. He reached out every day for the first two weeks after surgery to check in on me and address any concerns. He makes himself incredibly accessible to his patients, which is unheard of in this field. I never had any concerns about healing because he was so proactive with post op communication and checkups. Choosing Dr Tork was the easiest and best decision. He made me feel so comfortable start to finish, gave me my dream body, and left me feeling more confident than I could have ever imagined. He is second to none. I will forever be grateful. I would also like to mention that his assistant, Liisa is absolutely phenomenal as well. She’s is the sweetest person, incredibly knowledgeable, and was always such a joy. They really are the dream team.
I waited for over 29 years to get a rhinoplasty. After spending 5+ years doing extensive research on surgeons for my rhinoplasty, I finally found Dr. Tork. Dr. Tork & his staff are A+. Lisa was caring, understanding, fun and made the process seamless. Dr. Tork understood what i wanted and he delivered. He over exceeded my expectations. He continues to check up on me and makes sure my nose is healing perfectly. I had many questions & without hesitation, he answered them in precise detail. The only regret I have is not finding him sooner. I plan to get more procedures from Dr. Tork and I am VERY happy with my rhinoplasty. Thank you, Dr.Tork! I am forever thankful. You are THE KING OF RHINOPLASTY. Updated on 16 Aug 2022: I am only 4 weeks post-op and I am already completely in love with my results! I was from day 1. My nose is beyond perfect. I would 100% recommended Dr. Tork to anyone considering undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure. He is a VERY skilled artist surgeon.
I had a circumferential lower body lift with Dr. Tork on 4/12. I found Dr. Tork through his Instagram, he had done a massive weight loss patient and she had beautiful results. Considering I had lost a hundred pounds it seemed like a great fit. The consultation process was fine. Dr. Tork is a great, down to earth, human. I felt like my issues were heard and that he would be open to staging my surgeries to provide the best results possible. Leading up to surgery there was an issue with scheduling and some confusion about paperwork, neither issue a reflection of Dr. Tork and both incredibly minor in general. Surgery day Dr. Tork spent a lot of time marking and making sure I was comfortable. I felt like he was excited and passionate about my procedure, which made me really confident even though I was very nervous. I had weird requests and Dr. Tork totally accommodated them. Dr. Tork called me after I was home to check on me, make sure I was walking and send some pictures. He followed up the next morning too. At my post-op appointment Dr. Tork and his nurse helped me out of my garment and gave me a rundown of how things were healing. It was informative and helpful and even though I'm in a lot of pain it helped me to hear positive things about how I will look and feel as time goes on. Dr. Tork and his team helped me have the body I worked for and would never have had without medical intervention. I am so thankful for his artistry, his perfectionist tendencies and his commitment to providing the best possible outcomes for his patients. Updated on 30 Apr 2022: Here are some updated pictures from almost 3 weeks out. All drains gone. Swelling much more manageable. No real pain, just discomfort and I think I'm grumpy about the limitations for lifting and movement. Updated on 26 Jul 2022: I didn't know my photos didn't post! Here are the ones I meant to post previously, at 1 month post op. I'm almost 3 months out now and I'll post some of those as soon as these upload. I continue to be ecstatic about the results.
