GOAT of Plastic Surgery

I cannot express into words how grateful I am that Michael Kreidstein was the surgeon who did my surgery. I feel like meeting him by chance was a gift from God.

I found him by googling the best plastic surgeon in Toronto. I remember in an article Dr. Kreidstein was amongst three doctors however he was the only one who provided a free consultation (I believe I saved $200/$250 by mentioning this article) I have wanted a tummy tuck for as long as I can remember. I always had a stomach even as a kid, I always had a bit of extra in my tummy. After three pregnancies, 6 and half years of breast feeding and 40 pound weight loss. I could barely look in the mirror without feeling a bit of disgust. I worked out like a mad woman nothing seemed to help.

When I first entered Dr. K's office, not sure if this was for everyone I was absolutely STUNNED at how many degrees and certificates he had on his wall. When he spoke he did absolutely no sales tactics, he spoke in easy terms so that I clearly understood what he was talking about and gave me a detailed explanation what we would need to do to get the body I wanted.

I showed him my stomach and asked him, "Is this something I can get rid of if I exercised more?" I will NEVER forget his answer, " You have 6 and a half inches of excess skin, you can not exercise it off, we will need to surgically remove it." He saw my fear and told me that even though I was unsure about the scarring, I will have wash board abs. WASH BOARD!! I didn't book the surgery then. Two weeks later while taking a look in the mirror after a shower I realized that no matter how flat my stomach was I realized my breast will continue to irritate me and I will not be happy with my body. So I called him up to speak to him about a breast lift and maybe even some small implants. When I went to meet him we discussed the breast and he TOLD me that I do not need implants that he believed that I would be happy with out them. Truly I couldn't believe he said that. Cause he could have made $7000 extra by slipping in silicon gels but he had enough integrity to tell me the God honest truth. That's when I knew he was going to be my surgeon for anything related to plastic surgery. I didn't see any other surgeon, I had zero desire to, I knew for certain I found my doctor. Then I went a bit nuts and started talking about a thigh lift ( I have extra in my inner thigh), he told me that he refused to do thigh lift and tummy tuck in one go. There was just too many risks involved. He basically said no to $14000 extra he could have made by being moral and ethical in his decision making. That pretty much did it for me. I booked my surgery that day.

Any questions or concerns I had, Dr Kreidstein has been so dependable and reliable in his response. He responded to every phone call and every single email I sent him promptly. His staff is stellar, really I would give them 10 stars if I could.

I do not know how he was able to lift my breast as he did seriously. They are so picked up that I look like I have an invisible push up bra on! The tummy tuck incision was so pristine that I thanked him during my first post op appointment. The best part? He removed every single stretch mark on my tummy! Genius. And I was thrilled.

The first time I visited him on his website was while I was in bed recovering from my surgery. I wanted to see the before and after photos cause I was so curious what my scars could look like. It was then I read his biography. How many doctor do you know that got a flipping scholarship to Toronto University Medical school? None? Well you do now.

If you are nervous about Plastic surgery going wrong, confusing and being happy with your results, DO NOT hesitate to go to Dr. Kreidstein. I thank God everyday that coincidentally I was directed to the best doctor I have ever met.

I had a comment asking for before pictures to compare. I haven't had much time so it took a month to do so. But just so you understand the level of work Dr. Kreidstein can do.

In the before and after photos you can clearly see just how talented Dr.K is. I honestly do not know how he was able to pick up my breast the way he did and make them so nicely shaped. Truly I am beyond thrilled that I did this surgery and can't express into words how happy and grateful I am that Dr. K was the surgeon who did my surgery.
