How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I’m so happy I did it. I’d do it over again in a heart beat. My only regret is not relaxing more after. My scar would be much less noticeable if I actually allowed myself to relax and heal a thin scar instead of moving around and doing things I shouldn’t have. But I am very happy with my body and how I feel and how much stronger I have gotten physically after this surgery! Life changing!

Almost 2 years later

Everything was made possible because of this surgery. I went back to school to do massage therapy. Without this surgery I would not have had the core strength to do my job. I have a very successful practice already! I do plan on going back to revision the scar. I didn't allow myself enough healing time and I started to do my scar massages too early and it caused more harm than good as far as appearances are concerned. I hope to go back to the dr soon to address my revision and see what he thinks.

Dr Cherny exceeded all my expectations. Down to earth, sincere, knowledgeable, honest at consultation. He's also kind of funny too. I never felt uncomfortable or that I was bothersome with all my question. But, make sure you do all your home work before you go to any surgeon about a procedure so you have your questions ready. Right before surgery the staff was comforting and will do anything to help you feel at easy. Surgery will make anyone nervous, but they know how to help you. After I woke up they were all about me. Everyone was focused on me and treated me like a star. Again they did everything they could to help me feel comfortable and got me ready to go home. They taught my husband everything he needed to know on how to care for me and gave us simple instructions to take home too. After I got home I always had someone I could call no matter what time it was. And I looked at my scar and it was much lower and better than I expected! My new belly button is cute already! I am still swollen and some scabs but I'm only 4 days out. My pain level is low. Today is the first day I have not taken any, none, zero, pain relief what so ever today. Only a little sore like I worked out and the incision is still a little numb but only stings with pressure is applied. I'm very impressed and happy with the work of Dr Cherny and his staff. I know it's only going to get better.
