I'm going for a tummy tuck with Dr. Epstein too! I was so excited that he does no drains. I'm just wondering how was your recovering with no drains? He said when he doesn't use drains patients are up walking the next morning. Did you have much pain? Glad to hear your recovering nicely. Enjoy your new tummy!!

You'll be surprised at how well you recover. I expected much discomfort. The next morning when he came to check on me I was up and walking around. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and only took the pain medicine for two nights. On Saturday I removed the tubes (for the pain pack). Even then, I was surprised at how easily they came out. I took them out myself and thought I'd be queasy. I didn't even feel them coming out. Dr. Epstein has monitored me since, and I can't tell you how pleased I am. The only thing I would recommend is this: I had surgery on Tuesday and went back to work on Monday. Although I was able to do it, I wish I had taken a couple of more days. I wish you much luck. You'll be so excited with the results. Enjoy. Dr. Epstein and his staff is wonderful.

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...

The Best Experience That Exceeded my Expectations !

One day, a little over two years ago, a post from Dr. Polat appeared on my Instagram feed and looking back now, Im so grateful it did. After losing more than 25 kilos over six years, I was desperate to finally address the sagging skin on my tummy. It took me two years of thinking, doubting, and waiting but w...

I wouldn't trust anyone else with such a significant transformation

Dr. Tork is a remarkable plastic surgeon whose expertise and meticulous approach have transformed my perspective on body image. I underwent a tummy tuck 270, liposuction 360, and fat grafting to hip dips in October 2023, and the entire process, from consultation to recovery, was seamless. His staff was except...
