hi beautiful ladies of realself. I would like to thank you all for all your reviews and I feel compelled to share my journey in an attempt to help other ladies in the future who plan to do the same. I am honestly super scared right now as I finally booked and paid for my surgery on nov 2. I honestly feel very comfortable talking to Dr Epstein. He is sweet and very knowledgeable. I like his nurse too. she is nice and sweet. I kind of feel that I was rushed a little bit when I was paying though. I have a lot of questions but maybe it's just me. Also I am kind of offended when I called to ask about an error made in my billing.Charged me 2500 for silicone implant which was an error. I didn't get an apology and told it's because I changed my mind about not having the breast implants and told she will refund me the money. It offended me a little bit. I am praying I made the right choice of spending 23 thou ++ extra for nurse care post op. I came for the doctor so I sure do hope He is the true artist that I believe he is. as I told him, I trust he is a true master of his craft. that is why I choose him over others I saw. I will keep you guys posted on my journey I promise. Goodbye fatty tummy and ugly cs scar. November 2 is a big day.

Thanks! I sure will! I will post pictures of the night before surgery, post surgery and days after. it's funny how I have been contemplating on doing this for years and now that it's less than 2 weeks before surgery, I am having mixed feelings about it. I am holding on to the fact that 98% of women who undergo this surgery don't regret doing it. So wish me luck!

Thanks so much! I read your post on your journey and it helped me a lot emotionally. I felt that I was not alone when I was in agony on my first week of recovery. Thanks so much.

I am so glad to hear that.  This is an adventure during the recovery process, but one well worth it.

As the day is nearing, I am getting more and more excited and scared. I know I have chosen the right doctor to do my life changing surgery. I trust all the reviews I've read and when I had my consultation with him, I have seen the passion he has for what he does. He has keen eye for beauty and perfection. I will keep everyone posted with before and after pictures I promise!

I used Dr Epstein for a tummy tuck and lipo of flanks and hips 2 years ago. No complications, great results and 2 years later still looks amazing and flat. Don't worry. I'm sure you will be very happy

Hey ladies! 4 days to go before the big day! I cannot believe I am actually doing it after contemplating on it for more than 10 years! I would like to ask for your advice based on your personal experiences post op. How did you deal with the pain? what supplements did you take for faster wound healing? when did you return to your activities? ... I would greatly appreciate your advice on anything. I am so scared and excited at the same time! Thanks!

Came out with ZERO results and the worst scars

I dont even need to say much. I went in for a breast lift that he claimed could be done the way I asked. Came out with ZERO results and the worst scars. He completely ruined my breasts and the healing was outrageous. I didnt feel pain but my breasts looked like a 5 year old cut my nipples off and attached the...

Absolutely Amazing Surgeon!

Dr. Nachbar is an amazing surgeon. He performed the drainless TT on me and it has been life changing. It's a huge improvement to my confidence and appearance. My biggest problem now is picking an outfit because everything looks great. I've gotten so many compliments. I was not expecting it to be this great. I...
