WORTH IT
4.5 Months Post Op. I over all look great but the bulge on my sided drives me crazy. I can't wear a bikini or fitted dresses without it showing. Biocorneum isn't helping my scar much. I'm going to try scar sheets soon to help with the darkness of my scar.

Good results but need revision.
So I may have over reacted before but my body to me still isn't up to the Dr. Hochstein standard. My scar is slanted and I have a bulge on one side. There are certain things that I cannot wear because the bulge/ dog ear shows. It's hard when you spend all this money to make what was supposed to a safe choice and things don't look the way you were promised. Even with the issues, I don't have loose skin and can wear a crop top with confidence. I am still bothered that no one took it seriously until I went and saw another doctor. I think that's what I was most upset about. I pointed that area out since 3 weeks post op and my concerns weren't addressed until another doctor told me that I had a dog ear/bulge.
Aside from that. They don't have long wait times. You will never said more that 5-10hrs to get a response from an email. They answer all your questions and you're safe there. They said the revision will be free but it just sucks to have to go through more surgery.

Wow.. that is not right at all! Thank you for sharing your story. I will never go to this facility
This patient does not have dog ears. This is the typical swelling present after a tummy tuck which everyone experiences and would certainly not resolve after just two months. We tell the patient about the free revision policy not because we expect that a revision is necessary but rather to reassure them that even in the worst case we always stand behind the work. If you look at the before pictures you can appreciate a severe diastasis with herniation and distortion of the umbilicus. All of this was corrected so now there is a beautiful flat stomach with a normal appearance to the umbilicus. To view photos please visit:

Dr H - yes her stomach is very flat, but why is the incision slanted? And NO, that bulge is NOT normal swelling. Do you think we are stupid? You Miami doctors that are doing this to women that come to you for help, are all going to end up on Dateline or 20/20 having to defend your work soon. She also paid you for lipo that you did not perform. What’s up with that!? Do the right thing and fix it man.
Rita check out my update. The bulge is still there but there wise I look great. I just hate that I can't wear certain things without looking weird. As long as I wear jean shorts or jeans I look fine.
I have VERY little swelling. Like barely any. That bulge is fat not swelling. I'll post a video. @RitaJem
Dr.Leonard,
I am so so sorry don't try to defend yourself, instead try to hear your costumer that people trust in your job not in your excuses. This @MeToo generation Dr. No woman more is mouth shot by the power of a man.

You are totally right!! Those doctors in Miami always showing off how great they are but women ends up botched.
Girl, he needs to fix that without charge. I had mine done in Atlanta,GA by Dr. Nelson Castillo and mine does not looks like that. My scar barely shows. I didn't get lipo though because I didn't have enough money for it. I am pleased with mine. Never had a problem and my doctor always called me to follow up on my recovery.
Isnt 2 months post op too soon to tell?
I'm 10 days away from 5 months post op and I still have the same lump. I have very little swelling if you notice.
How many hours was the surgery?
One of the ladies told me about 90 minutes.
Hi I have to tell you ... you look fabulous wait it out then if you need it revised def go back you paid a lot and should look close to perfect but you look fabulous how was the pain ? How long were you down Iam getting my breasts redone and mini with lipo I had 2 c sections I am so scared
It took about 4 weeks to feel 80% normal. After 2 weeks i could do dest work.

Like it’s missing Lipo.
