I picked the very best doctor for this procedure. This is my second procedure, once with another physician years ago. Absolutely worth the wait, he is not only a surgeon, but an educator. You will not go wrong with him. He takes every opportunity to answer questions that you ask and provide you with ongoing education throughout the entire process. Great bedside manner, office staff professional, knowledgeable, quick responses. His office manager is awesome. If you are looking for a surgeon , you really need to go and consult with Dr. Rosenstein. The entire process from the start is organized, planned, with little to no effort at all on my part. I found his reviews on RealSelf. Scheduled a consult and I made my decision during the consult visit. All Pre-Op labs and pre-op visit went smoothly. He even laid out the expectations/goals during the Pre-op visit and of course took the opportunity to educate me on the process and plan again. Procedure was performed on June 7th. The hospital staff were professional and timely, but it was not my first rodeo and being a nurse I knew what to expect. He came in again prior to the procedure, after nursing staff and anesthesiologist(very knowledgeable and professional) performed pre-surgery checks. We went thru the plan again prior to surgery and surgery was performed on time as scheduled. I stayed in hospital over night(did not want to). This was medically necessary related to the procedure that I underwent. I was able to go home the next day after Dr. Rosenstein performed an exam and to make sure everything was good to go. All post-op visits so far have been going as planned of course. I wish I did not have this last drain in, but it is necessary and I have not had any complications. It is really important that you pick the physician that best fits your needs and it is equally important to follow your physician instructions. If you are on the fence about which surgeon to consult with, you definitely owe it to yourself to go see him. You will not be disappointed.

I’m am sooo happy with results so far. I definitely have the best surgeon. Haven’t seen My belly button in over 15 years so this is nice. I can finally say “cute in the face and thin in the waist”. LoL. The swelling has gone down a lot. You really don’t notice how much swelling you have until you progress and heal week by week. Not exactly sure why I wanted so long but worth it. I have a few fajas. Two of them I can sleep in. Still keep tape on incision and It looks great.
