I do a tremendous number of Neck and Chin liposuction cases. During the last few years I've also started to reduce "chipmunk cheeks" through buccal fat pad removal or the more powerful Cheek Liposuction procedure. These techniques help reduce the "baby face" of my patients and can create a cheek hollow for those who want a more slender look. Importantly, this chubby cheek trait is typically hereditary, and not a result of being overweight. I like to perform all of these procedures under local anesthesia in my NYC plastic surgery center for permanent facial contouring.

I am very proud of my tummy tuck results and try to make sure they look great without any of the classic "tell tale" signs that an operation has happened. My scars are always below the bikini line, and a LOT of attention is paid to the belly button to make it look Natural. The umbilicus is an often overlooked part of the tummy tuck and can be seen as an "afterthought" by some surgeons. To me, it's the Crown Jewel of the whole operation. If the belly button looks artificial, then I didn't do my job well.

Amazing! Liposuction, a thigh lift, tummy tuck, and a neck and face lift

Highly Recommend Dr. Sterry and His Team! I recently had several procedures done, including liposuction, a thigh lift, tummy tuck, and a neck and face lift with Dr. Sterry, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Dr. Sterry is not only incredibly skilled but also extremely honest and transparent throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, ensuring I knew what to expect at every stage. His staff is equally wonderful, providing excellent care and making me feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently in the recovery process, but even now, I’m thrilled with the results and excited to see further improvements. Dr. Sterry is always available if I have any questions, which has been reassuring. If you’re considering any procedures, I highly recommend Dr. Sterry—his expertise and care truly stand out!

Buccal Fat Removal

Yp1988

Slim face, defined jawline

I usually don’t write reviews unless I’m dissatisfied with a service. However, I feel the need to share my experience with Dr Sterry. I had the triple play at his office and I can tell you I’m extremely happy with results. Dr Sterry and his staff were great. The whole process was very smooth and easy, from the first consultation, to the post surgery appointment. Alex who works with payments, worked with me to schedule a surgery date that fitted my schedule and ensure my care credit info was on file. She also made herself available if I had questions prior to surgery. The entire staff is super friendly, they called me the day after surgery while I was recovering to ensure I was doing fine and met with me via zoom a week after. Dr Sterry is very professional and I felt comfortable during the surgery (I was awake the whole time). It wasn’t painful at all just a little uncomfortable of course since you are getting work done on your chin/face area but totally tolerable and worth it. If you are looking to slim your face or get a define jawline I would definitely recommend this procedure.

Smart Lipo

Very good experience with Dr. Sterry - Smart Lipo on abdomen & flanks

I had Smartlipo on my abdomen and flanks with Dr. Sterry a little over three weeks ago. Although it takes months to see the true final result, I have a sense of where things are headed and I'm pleased. I chose Dr. Sterry because, based on our conversation during the consultation, I felt confident he understood what I wanted and we were envisioning pretty much the same thing, which he executed on during surgery, so my impression was correct. He also has a very nice, attentive, organized staff. A good experience all around. I recommend him if you're considering plastic surgery.

Consultation review: Scheduled for surgery in June

I was so nervous to go in for my consultation. Dr. Sterry and his staff (Shivanie and Alex) are amazing. Dr. Sterry was very detailed in the consultation. Once I left the office, my husband and I were discussing the consultation and were left with more questions. I reached out to the staff and we set up another consultation (Virtual). During my initial in person consultation we agreed on neck, chin and check liposuction. After our Virtual consultation, Dr Sterry stated that it would be best if we do a mini neck lift and liposuction. Of course I am scared to go a more invasive procedure, but I trust Dr Sterry to give me the results I really want. I defined jaw line and no more double chin!!! I am scheduled for surgery in June. Will continue to update my journey.

Chin liposuction - better and younger

Dr. Sterry and the team were great. Yes it's costly but I’m not bargain shopping for facial surgery. I want the best. People are shocked when I show before and after pictures. No one could pinpoint why but just that I looked better and younger. Best 7200$ I have spent.

Tummy Tuck Revision

Eclectic119279

Top Dr. for Tummy Tuck and Revision Cases!!

I had my first tummy tuck in Nov 2020 by a Dr. in Westchester, NY. He left me with a long vertical scar (in addition to the normal horizontal scar), an odd looking diamond shape belly button and a protruding belly. My stomach was in worse condition after that tummy tuck than before. I agonized with my ugly, scarred up, protruding belly for almost 2 years. Finally, I set up some consults with several NYC surgeons to see if they could fix my stomach. Could they make my belly button look more normal, get rid of the unsightly vertical scar and finally make my belly flat? All of the doctors I met with told me they could not fully get rid of the vertical scar and they would not touch my belly button. Then, I met Dr. Sterry. He as able to fix all!!! Dr. Sterry was so nice and he takes his time. I never felt rushed with him like I did with the other doctors. Dr. Sterry was the first surgeon I met with that was confident he could get rid of the vertical scar, make my belly button look more normal and tighten up my stomach, and he did! I am now almost 8 weeks post revision tummy tuck with Dr. Sterry and I could not be happier. My stomach is flat and tight and my waist is tiny. My belly button looks perfect. The vertical scar is completely gone. The normal horizontal scar is so thin and low and unnoticeable. I am thrilled with my results. It took me 2 years to find Dr. Sterry. I a so happy I choose him as my surgeon. He is a skilled artist that is patient and cares about the outcome for his patients. If you are considering a tummy tuck or lipo look no further. Choose Dr. Sterry and you will not regret it!

More than a year later, extremely pleased with how my body looks

I had an a tummy tuck and liposuction to flanks in October 2021 with Dr Sterry and I can say I highly recommend this doctor and his staff. My personal experience was that I had need of a revision due to disfiguring liposuction I had in 2007. I am (more than a year later) extremely pleased with how my body looks. My scar is nice and narrow, not jagged and is healing well. I think it will be quite invisible someday, as scars often eventually become. The placement is good. The bellybutton is pretty cute and looks real. The liposuction to the flanks makes my body have a nice shape from many angles. To me, getting surgery is a scary idea so I appreciated how this doctor made me feel when we spoke during the consults, before surgery and during aftercare. I always felt like doctor Sterry ( and the support staff and anesthesiologist too!) cared about safety and were super patient with my many moments of anxiety leading up to and following surgery. I really felt taken care of physically and emotionally. I think safety is first but you are also doing a procedure like this to look better and feel good about yourself. This doctor has great skill in achieving beauty and symmetry. He is very professional, competent and confident. I really appreciate everything this doctor did and said and accomplished. Thank you, Dr Sterry. I’m glad I picked you :)

Chin Liposuction

Already see a huge difference - excited to see the final results

I'm not sure where to start! I will update this review with photos once I have my 3-month follow-up photo to show final results. I know pictures are what helped me find Dr. Sterry, so I'll make sure to share mine soon. This is my first experience with cosmetic surgery, but one I've thought about for years. I have always had stubborn fat under my chin, no matter my weight. I wanted a doctor who specialized in chin/neck lipo and excelled in this area, and that's how I found Dr. Sterry(and on this app!!) Dr. Sterry himself was highly impressive, I appreciated his informative approach, and he educates you along the way. He’s also a straight shooter; it shows me that he cares about my best interest as his patient. I'm a fan of learning the process and felt like I was in safe and experienced hands; I mean, this is my face, after all!! Dr. Sterry is a very accomplished surgeon, which was clear to me, and he has a beautiful office on Madison Ave in NYC. I walked in there nervous but never once felt intimidated. He had humility, humor, and was down to earth, which I find equally crucial as credentials/experience. The staff, from beginning to end, made this experience easy for me. The communication and follow-up with Alex, from scheduling the consult until the day of surgery, were remarkable. During my procedure today, I had the best nurse, and I don't think I would've felt as calm otherwise if she wasn’t there. I hardly ever leave reviews for anything, which is a shame, but I share that to emphasize how happy I am with today, with allowing myself to do this for ME, and with the Dr, I chose because I really, really picked the best! I can already see a huge difference, and I’m excited to see the final results! Updated on 22 Jan 2023: Hi!! I am only little over 2 weeks post op. To say I’m OBSESSED with my results so far is an understatement. I won’t see full results until about April, which blows my mind because it already looks SO much better I continue to be so impressed by Dr Sterry and his team. They continue to make you feel like a priority even after surgery with the follow up care and appointments. Can’t wait to see my full results after 3 months!! Right now, I am thrilled with how it’s looking!!! Any questions about my recovery feel free to ask, I have photo of the bruising and swelling but mine was pretty minimal! Take the supplements recommended by Dr S-they help BIG time! Updated on 3 Mar 2023: Coming up on two months and not far away from my 3 month mark which is considered final results! I added some more recovery photos from first week to show my swelling and bruising I still continue to see improvements. This was easiest the best decision I made for ME in a long time

Tummy Tuck

Could not be happier - look even better than I did before 3 kids

Dr Sterry is amazing and has changed my life. I’m 8 months post tummy tuck and could not be happier. He is one of the few good guys out there- he doesn’t sugar coat things and does what’s best for the patient in the long run. The after care I received was next level. He and his staff were available for any and all concerns I had and never made me feel silly for a question throughout the healing process. He takes his time and listens to the patient; never rushes. His staff is warm and welcoming. I never felt alone during the entire process. He is relentless in seeking scar perfection in the post op phase and I appreciate it so much! I look even better than I did before 3 kids!

$17,000Diastasis Recti Repair

Life changing - now I’m training for my first full marathon

Now that I’m officially 1 year post-op, I can review. Dr. Sterry was fantastic. I had diastasis muscle repair, two hernia repairs, and a tummy tuck (no lipo needed). From the get-go I trusted Dr. Sterry—he was honest, knowledgeable, and answered my questions with confidence. On the day of my surgery I felt very comfortable (the staff were all great!). Dr. Sterry was available day/night if I needed anything (I only needed to contact him once and he was responsive, as promised). When I had diastasis I couldn’t run, exercise with any twists (no yoga) or planks (no core)…. Now! I’m training for my first full marathon—life changing. I’m so grateful for his expertise, and the collective expertise within his practice. Thank you!
