Incredible Tummy Tuck Experience and Results

I spoke to so many plastic surgeons before I met Dr. Schwartz, from local doctors in update NY, to the head of plastics at a very well known hospital, to other well-known NYC doctors. They all had something different to say-- one made me feel like a number. One wouldn't touch me due to scaring issues (I have hypertrophic scars). One had totally insane ideas like floating my belly button and using radiation on the entire length of my incision to prevent scaring. Some of these doctors didn't even do an exam, and one doctor did an exam without actually touching me.

When I met Dr. Schwartz, I knew he was different. First of all, his office is gorgeous and his staff is professional, friendly, and attentive. Dr. Schwartz did a complete and thorough exam. He carefully explained the risks involved with my scaring. He explained what my results were likely to be in a frank, non-salesy way. He had ideas to minimize scaring, but made no promises or sales pitches. He also was the first doctor to talk about how he would use lipo to shape me-- I have a BMI of 20 and many other doctors said I wouldn't need any lipo. Spoiler alert! I ended up getting a lot of lipo and I couldn't be happier.

Dr. Schwartz took lots of pictures that I thought were for before and afters-- but he used them to strategize my surgery and decide what he was going to do to get my best results. This isn't a doctor who phones it in. His nurse is a phenomenal educator and caregiver as well. I had the surgery in his surgical center and it was so calm and easy to get there. After the surgery-- Dr. Schwartz himself rolled me out to the uber. What doctor does that??

My follow up care has been really special. He answers calls and has brought me back for several checkups to watch my healing closely.

My results? I'm 9 weeks post-op today and I am beyond thrilled. My incision line is so neat, my stomach is totally flat, and my 360 degrees shape blows my mind. After 3 pregnancies and a 60 lb weight loss, I never thought I'd have a stomach like this. A shape like this.

Just one more note-- during one of my followups, he had another doctor there. When Dr. Schwartz stepped out of the room, I told her how happy I am and she said unsolicited, "I work with several plastic surgeons and I see what they do on the operating table. Dr. Schwartz is the best. If I were ever to do this, I'd go to him hands down."

Dr. Schwartz is an incredible, caring and highly skilled plastic surgeon who was worth every penny and mile I had to drive to see him. This was something that I have saved for for years, and wasn't easy for me to afford. I never expected to go to a NYC doctor like Dr. Schwartz. I can't tell you how glad I am to have found him, and to have understood that I deserve the best. Dr. Schwartz is just that.
