Sheldon Lincenberg, MD

I had top surgery with Dr. Lincenberg 6 months ago. The entire experience from consultation through scar care has been better than I imagined. His credentials and portfolio impress me, I especially like the quantity and frequency of top surgeries he preforms. Detailed on his website is a quilting technique so a post-op binder and drains are not required for recovery. I personally opted for no nipples and had them tattooed back on at a later date. Even with a hypertrophic scar, the contour of my chest is the absolute best result given my bmi at the time of surgery. All of my pre-op and recovery concerns were addressed. We have done a course of scar injections that have helped my scar lay flatter and I plan to have laser scar treatment done at his practice as well. Communication with Vera and the other staff have been a delight as the whole team helped this be a reality for me. The only con is he does not take insurance, however, sometimes it pays to go private for something this important. If he his in your budget, I highly recommend Dr. Lincenberg with flying colors.

I had FFS with Dr. Lincenberg through Kaiser Permanente and overall l had a very positive experience. He and his staff are incredibly kind and I personally believe he did a great job on the procedures he performed (forehead and chin). His follow-up care and bedside manners were great and I'm considering having a BA with him in the future.

The only complaints I have were due to a lack of communication between them and Kaiser Permanente. I was originally told by his office that I was approved for rhinoplasty and a tracheal shave, only to be told the day before the surgery that they weren't approved and only forehead and chin work could be done. However, their interaction with Kaiser is relatively new so I don't fault them for the error.

That aside, he's a great surgeon and I would highly consider getting work done with him.

Very friendly and got me in for my top surgery extremely quickly! Recovery was quick and easy, and I love my results :) Staff were also friendly and easy to get in contact with. Highly recommended for a positive experience for LGBT+ folks!

Dr. Lincenberg, nurse and front desk staff are all AMAZING! I had a brown lift in 2021 and on 2023 got a tummy tuck and breast lift. I could not be happier with the results so far. Nothing has been overdone, it all looks natural and beautiful/fresh. The whole process from the first consultation, surgery and post op visits have been smooth. I can't thank everyone in Dr Lincenberg's office for all their help and making this such an easy process. I am loving my body.

Dr. Lincenberg is an incredibly skilled surgeon and a kind person. He was very attentive during every appointment, his staff was very polite & helpful, he was very focused on my needs, and formulated a plan based on my goals. I am incredibly happy with the results and I would recommend him to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery!

I went to Dr. Lincenberg for my top surgery. I felt that he was very empathetic and cared a lot about what I wanted. He always answered my questions. The staff was also very helpful and respectful. The whole process was smooth and I would recommend him. My scars turned out even and they healing process was easy.

I had relatively large breasts, 34D sometimes DD, and wanted them smaller as well as perkier. My reasons are basically the same as most women's... pain in the shoulders/neck/back, hard to find clothes, can't wear strapless bras or any dresses without a bra, can't workout without heavy duty bras, etc. I've wanted a reduction/lift for over a decade but was nervous, didn't have the $ or time to recover, etc. Everything finally lined up in 2021 and after going to several consultations with different surgeons, I found Dr. Lincenberg and chose him as my surgeon, and I couldn't be happier. He and his office were very informative, helpful, professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and caring through the entire process leading up to the surgery, and in several follow up appts so far. The surgery itself went smoothly, as did the initial follow up appts. When I had pain that lasted a bit longer than expected (beyond the amount of time I was prescribed meds for), Dr. Lincenberg was great about having me come in and check for any issues and re-prescribe pain meds. After about 1 month I was off all pain meds. I'm very happy with the shape and look, and the scars are normal looking and will eventually fade as long as I consistently apply scar gel. Probably my favorite part so far has been the ability to wear cute dresses/tops with no bra. Many women take that for granted, but I never will.

Any surgery can be really scary, so it's important to find a doctor and practice who understands that and compassionately walks you through the entire process. That's why I totally and confidently recommend Dr. Lincenberg and his office/staff for your surgery needs.

Dr. Lincenberg and his entire office staff were amazing every step of the way. They made me feel comfortable and are extremely competent at what they do. If I went back and did everything all over again I wouldn’t change a single thing. Very pleased with my results.

LOVE THIS TEAM. From the front desk to the doctor. I will tell everyone to come to him, for top surgery. Every question was answered either by email, phone, or face to face. Would give 300 stars; thank you.
