Scar Removal/herniated Incision Repair - New York

I had several things I wanted fixed - a herniated incision from a gall bladder removal and nerve damage during previous surgery caused a "dead" muscle that made a buckle in my abdominal wall, causing me to be lopsided. Dr. Taranow inserted a mesh to accomplish these goals, removed the gall bladder scar and an old appendectomy scar, took out internal scar tissue and fat to smooth out my overall appearance. Dr. Taranow was great. He's very good about doing exactly what he feels he can do well. He explains everything well, and answers every question. The actual surgery with him went very well, and he was very attentive and accessible post-surgery. Unfortunately (as he feared) the mesh on the large muscle area did not hold, but the rest of my abdomen came out very well. He was able to save my navel (which was a question). The scar is very flat and thin for this procedure, I expect it will have completely faded within another year. My overall appearance is much improved and I'm very glad I did it.
