Sheryl L. Young, MD

Woot Woot!!! Great Doctor with and outstanding and supportive staff!!!

I have been looking for the right surgeon for two years. I kept looking back to, and finally chose, Dr.Sheryl Young. I needed a surgeon who would approach my surgical needs from a woman's perspective, and could help me envision my overall goals. Safety is her number 1 concern as well as the most desirable outcome and results for her patients.

This review is after my first of three planned surgeries.

I am very ecstatic with the results to date.

Dr. Young was wonderful. She made me feel so comfortable, and was very professional. Her staff is great, they are so caring, and were readily available to answer any of my questions. I was and am still very happy with my results and experience. I highly recommend Dr. Young, and have to friends and family.

I have been going to Dr. Young for years..botox and filler then eyelid surgery and most recently an arm lift. Dr. Young is THE BEST. Every aspect is explained and i have had nothing but the most positive experiences. She is an excellent surgeon and her "crew" is wonderful. I would go nowhere else!

Dr Sheryl Young is amazing! I contacted Dr. Young after massive weight loss. She performed a panniculectomy first and removed 35 pounds. She guided me carefully through every step and I had a beautiful outcome. She explained the procedure and recovery time very thoroughly and answered all my questions before, during and after the surgery. The second procedure was a breast reduction, I was a 58K and now a 36 D. Again, she was thorough, listened to what I wanted and added her expert advice. She made sure I understood what I would experience surgically and during the healing process. Dr. Young and her staff were always available to answer questions and made sure I knew all questions were important and none of them stupid questions. I was always treated with kindness and respect. The procedures have drastically changed my life. Four years ago I weighed 507 lbs and today 175 lbs. I believe my procedures helped my mobility and they gave me the opportunity to reach my goal. I will always be grateful to Dr. Young for her expert advice, her surgical skills and her friendship. I am glad she is my physician and my friend.

She is a very skilled and excellent doctor! Her nurses Karen and Dana are knowledgeable and friendly. I have had several procedures done and I would not go any where else for my treatments. They take the time with you that you need to make sure you are receiving the right treatment for you.

I am very thankful for all the insight with these reviews. It has helped in many ways to read about the different experiences. I had my surgery on Dec 6 the day before was my 50th Birthday, happy birthday to me is what I said. I had been wanting this for a long time. Was tired of the neck, shoulder and back pain. The biggest issues for me were finding bras, swimsuits and shirts that I could actually wear. What frustrating experience to find something you don't over explode in.
Well it has been a little over a week since my surgery and so far it has been great. I haven't returned back to work yet, will do that on Monday. Still get a little tired if over doing it but feel great. Hope that is normal though. See my PS tomorrow morning so looking forward to her letting me know how I am coming along.
Thank you to everyone who participates it is great .

Well had my week checkup today with PS. It went great! She says everything looks wonderful. Her words were you are looking amazing, makes me think it has been 3-4 weeks in instead of 10 days. Made me feel good.
I failed to let everyone know that before I was a 34/36 DDD/F and should be a C when everything heals. Haven't really tried any new bras on yet still swollen. Excited to see what the future holds in that category.

It has been 3 weeks and 4 days since my surgery and I am feeling pretty good! Still tender but getting better each day. My doctor used glue and no tape so that is good. Most of the glue is coming off nicely. I had always wished that could wear sports bras but now really wanting to see what a normal bra fits like. I am getting very anxious to try some on. I know it will be a bit before the real size is determined but I am very curious. How long was it before everyone started wearing a regular bra? Would love to hear back from others on this.

Hope everyone has a very safe and Happy New Year!

It has been over 6 weeks since my surgery and I feel great! I am so happy that I did this for myself. My neck and back don't hurt consistently and that is a big plus. I feel so much better. I want any of you out there that are thinking about this to know that yes it is a personal decision but it is truly what you want it is wonderful! I should have done it a long time ago.

I am a 35 year old mother of three. After my second child I lost post baby weight and then some. After the third I again lost baby weight but the sagging skin and stretch marks will not leave. I work out 4 days a week and am in good shape but get discouraged when my shirt rides up or when my skin falls forward when doing push ups. I had breast lift and augmentation a year ago and had such great results its time to fix the tummy. Had consultation with previous dr. and she agreed tt is the right option.

starting to get some anxiety about whether this is the right time to have the tt. Night before last five year old was in our bed. Last night three year old had wet pjs and ended in our bed. Trying to get three year old used to not being carried. My husbands great but it will be a challenge for him. Next year I will be working part time so it really should be this year. just nervous.

I am not wanting to tell everyone that I am getting a tt. I could see my kids going to school and announcing it in share time! So does anyone have any suggestions on what to say? Hernia repair? I have to have help with my kids as all my family is out of state.

I have become a little obsessed with this website. I feel excited to see so many women look so beautiful in thier after pictures! Giving birth is such a gift but the stretch marks and stretched muscles are so depressing. It will be great to fix this.

I will be traveling to Florida 7 weeks after my tt! Has anyone traveled after thiers so soon? Dr. said bar any compications should be good to go! The trip was scheduled for 6 weeks after but was able to push back one week! So nervous and so excited!

I feel like I'm in the "nesting" stage of a pregnancy. You know when your getting closets cleaned out, making meals to put in freezer etc.
One question I do have, and would love others input is that I noticed in pictures a lot of scars seem straight across while others are much more V like. I am going to call today to ask my dr. which she performs. I asked about bellybuttons at appt. but not that.

25 days till tt! Pretty excited but have been having trouble sleeping. I worry what if I gain this weight back? I know in my head that I never had this problem even at a bigger size before, that the saggy skin and stretch marks are from preg. but still worry. I would hate to go through pain and $ all for nothing.
I am glad to get to put these thoughts out there as I have not told anyone except my husband! Thanks BRAVE tummytuckers!

23 days till my surgery! I still have not gotten guts to take pics. but I know I will want them for after.
My husband is supportive but I am afraid he doesn't quite understand the length of the recovery. When I try to talk to him about he kida shuts down as he is very squemish. However he did watch three C-sections without problem.
I almost told a close friend (no one knows) but I chickened out.

Just thought of something. I am a stay at home mom with active kids and am slightly worried about keeping up with them in recovery and remembered I used to take my daughter to the childcare at the gym (2 hr. free) and sit in the lounge or cafe and read or email whatever after last c-section. I think I will become a lounge lizard again! And my kids will burn off some energy! Yeay me!

I just scheduled my pre op appt. for April 1! I will be talking to Dr. about adding Lipo for thighs. Nurse said since its a second procedure its Half price! Funny!

Updated on 26 Mar 2011:
17 days to go! Starting to get really excited! I think my husband is too. I just hope he really understands the length of recovery! Picked up my three year old today for first time in so long, I've been trying to get her out of the habitso she won't be shocked when I can't! She's really doing well with it!
Need to post before picks!

Two weeks from today! OMG!!! I watched another Tummy tuck on internet! So disgusting but really helpful. I ordered a bikini yesturday. I have NEVER worn one! I was a 12 always! Then after three kids a 6! Wierd huh? I always thought at this size I should be able to wear a two piece but I didn't figure on the stretch marks,weird belly button, and muscle issues.

I had my Pre op today. Got my prescriptions. Same ones I used for breast lift/aug. so I know I should'nt have any reactions to them. We discussed lipo for my inner thighs and she said she could do it same time as tt but would reccommend waiting as they are getting new equip. at thier facility for Slim (not smart) lipo. She said it is a laser type. They will be only facility in Kansas City area to have it. She said advantage is they use local so your awake, its done in their building, and its supposed to help shrink the skin so your not saggy after the lipo. The down side is I would'nt be able to do this same time as tt. It would be several weeks later, but the cost is about $1500 less!!
I am very excited as my surgery was going to be the second of the day but the other person rescheduled so I got moved up!! Less time for anxiety! 11 days to go!!!

So the day after I pay the doctor my husband takes my hand and says, honey I wonder if this surgery is a bad idea! Seriously he did! He is worried I am taking the easy way out and wonders about the cost. I feel the same way about the cost but know its not really gonna be easy at all. I have lost the weight before through Extreme dieting. I could not maintain this however. I am not unhappy about my weigh really just my saggy tummy. The loose skin and wrinkles didn't leave, just got worse.
I am worried about gaining the weight back. I work out four or five days a week and eat pretty healthy. I just always return to this size. I am having lots of doubts.

Four days post op. Feeling better daily. Medication helps with pain but make me sleepy. Saw results at Dr office. Love small Bb but lowerbelly is swollen. Seems more swollen on one side then other. Seem normal?

I wanted a little "lift" and Restylane did that for me. I will probably do it every year! It just makes me feel better.

Be aware that if you need your medication records they will only give you what they want you to have. You will not get them all only duplicate. The will tell others doctors that you are a person that is never happy and no other doctor will take you as a patient.

Dr. Cheryl Young did breast reduction surgery on me and I was horribly disappointed. She promised me from the beginning that she would continue to do work until I was happy with it. Once the surgery was done, and my chest looked like empty balloons and Has ever since she Refuses to do anymore and I’m embarrassed and wish I had never had the procedure. It looks like my only option is to go get implants now. I went to see her due to a gynocomastic situation Where I developed breast tissue after having had a beautiful developed muscular male chest.
