I had my very first procedure done with Dr. Rex, chin lipo and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was kind, patient, and made me feel completely at ease. It can be nerve-wracking going into something new like this, but his calm and compassionate demeanor truly made all the difference. The front desk staff were equally wonderful — welcoming, friendly, and professional every step of the way. More recently, Dr. Rex has been helping me with a revision (not his fault it’s my stupid genetics), and I’m honestly blown away by how much care and effort he’s put into finding the best possible solution. He’s consulted with colleagues, thought through every detail, and is doing everything he can to help me get the outcome I’m hoping for. You can really tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his patients. I’m so grateful to have found him. Dr. Rex goes above and beyond, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.
I am incredibly grateful that Dr. Rex was my surgeon. From the very beginning, he was attentive and took the time to address all my questions and concerns. His skill and meticulous approach as a surgeon are truly impressive, and the results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Rex also has a calming presence that made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. The surgery center he uses is also excellent—very clean, with an exceptional staff. Everyone, from the receptionist to the nursing staff to the anesthesiologist, was supportive, caring, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Rex and his team to anyone seeking a talented, compassionate, and dedicated plastic surgeon.
I had an abdominoplasty (with muscle repair) and mastopexy with Dr Rex 9/2024. I cannot recommend him enough! I met with 5 surgeons in MA, and decided on Dr Rex because of his warm demeanor and years of experience. The cost of the surgery with his office was low/average compared to the other offices I met with. His support staff was great. That makes a big difference because they are always the first point of contact when calling an office. The girls were always friendly and accommodating. During our consultation he pulled out a binder of pictures/results from surgeries he had done, and found women who had very similar preop bodies to mine to show me what I could expect. He was thorough and patient in answering my questions. He was the last surgeon I had consulted with, so I was able to ask him his opinions on what other MDs recommended, and he explained his approach and why he agreed or disagreed with what others suggested. The surgery itself was done at an outpatient surgery center; it was a great experience. The staff there was highly experienced, the procedure was seamless and a much easier than having surgery in a busy hospital. I am 4.5 mo post op now and am very happy with my results. I will wait till my final 6mo post op appt to post pics. He does really great belly buttons, no scar around the edge so its very natural looking. My breast lift came out so well it looks like I had an augmentation, even though I decided to not do implants. His office works with CareCredit which made financing easy. I would love to have a thigh lift and brachioplasty in the next few years, and will absolutely be using him again.
Dr. Rex is a calm, patient, supportive doctor. Before surgery I had an appointment to determine what size implants to go with and when I was feeling anxious I was welcome to come in and have another try with sizes to make aure I was making the right decision. Surgery was unremarkable and I followed all recommendations by the doctor to heal correctly. I am very happy with my results and as a matter of fact I am writing this review in Dr. Rex's office because a friend is here to get the same procedure.
Doctor Rex is phenomenal, Such a good job. Dr Rex made me feel very comfortable. I had my inplants taken out and have never felt better, If anyone is thinking of doing it don't put it off for years like I did. I feel great and look great... Thank you to doctor Rex and his staff who were all extremely wonderful
Just had my second procedure with Dr Rex. 10 years ago he did my breast implants. I was thin at the time, breast fed and was completely deflated. We did saline, it's 10 years later, just had my first mammogram, nurse said I had the most natural breast implants she had ever seen, and she's seen ALOT! Today I'm 4 months out from my tummy tuck with some lipo on my sides. I am so happy with the results, I feel so much better in my own skin, not to mention, clothes! My primary care could not believe how real my new bellybutton looked and was extremely impressed. I'm proud to show my "before" pictures now that I have a great "after". I hid my stomach for many years and now do a double take when I get out of the shower, can't believe its me. I can ride a bike now, wear panties without the feeling of my gut rolling over them, and feel like my old self with my husband again. I can't say enough good things about the changes both mentally and physically. Dr. Rex was always available and even checked up on me at home. The girls in the office are great and if they can't answer your questions they get the answer for you ASAP. From the price to end result, can't be more happy! Thank you Dr. Rex!
The earlobe repair was for my 11 year old daughter. everyone at the office was super friendly and made my daughter feel great. Dr. Rex was amazing and you can’t even tell my daughter even had the surgery at all!
Dr. Rex & His team are great! I have had two surgeries done by him with no issues. Very straight forward & Knowledgeable. Also, Krystle in his office was always very pleasant & helpful when I called with any questions & also very prompt with any requests needed. I would Definitely recommend Dr. Rex & His team!

I’m having an awsome recovery LOVING RESULTS even started going to gym spinning classes… SO HAPPY that I made this life changing decision and all the great care from Dr. Ira Rex
Dr Rex, has been awesome throughout my whole procedure. I had a full tummy tuck and I’m so happy with the results even after only 4 weeks. My recovery has been great as well. I exercise daily and I believe this has also contributed to my fast recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Rex for your procedure if you are thinking about getting a tummy tuck. It was the best money I’ve spent on myself and I would totally do it again!
Although everything is a trade off, I think it is often best to have a little bit of loose skin with a regular tummy tuck than to commit yourself to a very unaesthetic scar. This decision is best made at consultation with a plastic surgeon. Good luck.
I cannot give you much advice based on your photograph. It is difficult to see any relationship between the breasts. Often cleavage is determined more by your anatomy than the surgery itself. It is usually best to return to your doctor and discuss the issue.
I surely think you would benefit from a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Your situation is complex. Do you want extra volume of the upper poles? I cannot tell if you're left breast is more droopy than your right breast. It is likely your breasts will remain with the same cleavage with almost any operation. You could get an areolar reduction. If you want significant changes, you will have to have somewhat invasive surgery. There are a lot of issues to deal with here, and you might have a much better idea of how you want to go forward after speaking with a plastic surgeon.
It seems you are a good candidate for an abdominoplasty. Yes, I suspect he would have the extra vertical scar, but as you say it is a trade off. Look at plenty of before and after photographs and make your own decision whether the trade-off is worth it.
From your photographs, even with large implants, you would probably need a breast lift to reposition your nipples. Larger implants rarely change the position of the nipples much and sometimes make them lower. Another approach is having the augmentation and living with it for a while and deciding whether you want to proceed with a breast lift and the added scars. This is not ideal because you may need to surgeries… A discussion with a board certified plastic surgeon would probably go far to give you more information and realistic expectations of the different approaches.
