“What I was looking for — and found in Lauren Greenberg — is knowledge, skill, and integrity. She is honest and direct: she tells me what’s likely to work and what’s not, rather than trying to sell me services. And she does beautiful work.

I went to Dr. Greenberg originally for breast implants.  She is the only doctor I saw who asked me to bring two tops as we sized my new breasts.  She explained that turtlenecks would emphasize the breasts, and V-necks deemphasize them.  She was endlessly patient with me, as I tried on first one and then the other in the various sizes we were looking at.  She steered me towards the optimum range medically, but let me make the final choice.  The breasts Dr. Greenberg gave me look natural.  They fit my build, and you’d never know, if I didn’t tell you, that they’re not the ones I was born with.  This is particularly impressive given the fact that I’m small-ribbed and small-boned, and had virtually nothing to begin with.  Where other doctors feared to tread, she created a sweet miracle.”

“The only issue that prevented me from breast augmentation was the doctor. I looked at numerous sites, but I just couldn’t make the plunge.
Then a friend admitted to having augmentation and a tummy tuck. She was thrilled with the outcome and looked perfect in her tightly fit t-shirt.
My visit with Dr.Greenberg was exactly as my girlfriend described. She was informational, thorough, sweet, a good listener, and great at making me feel confident in my decision. She always gave me the option to change my mind, as women often do, and no question was silly or irrelevant.
I was so certain she was the one, I had surgery less than 2 weeks later. My experience was extremely positive and my breast are naturally FABULOUS!

Eternally Grateful

“My experience with Dr. Greenberg has been terrific and very transformational for me, both physically and emotionally.  After having 4 kids in 5 ½ years, I had put my body through a lot.  I had also passed the 40 year mark, and felt I needed to do something now so I could enjoy my body and appearance.  So, I interviewed plastic surgeons, and Dr. Greenberg stood out immediately.  Her ability to relate to my situation (she has young children too) and my concerns with my body, plus her great personality, made me instantly know she was the surgeon for me.  She did an awesome job on giving me my body back; my breasts haven’t looked so good since I was in my early 20s.  She is caring and responsive and I would highly recommend her to anyone.  Her work on helping me fix what the babies did to my body, particularly by breasts, really transformed not just my body but my attitude.  I am so confident now and happy with my body, which I have not been in more years than I can remember.  The results are worth it! ”

“When I was considering breast reduction, liposuction and upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgeries I saw 3 other physicians before I met Dr. Lauren Greenberg. Probably the most important reason I chose her was that she did not minimize the importance of whether I really was a good candidate for the surgeries I was considering, and we worked together for several months making sure my weight was stable, and that my lifestyle would make the changes I was making sustainable.  From the beginning, Dr. Greenberg really gave me the truth about my responsibility in the process to ensure a successful outcome, and was extremely thorough in preparing me for the procedures both beforehand and afterwards.  The surgery she did for me was amazing; my husband and my friends tell me I look wonderful, and I feel really great. Her availability via email, phone and appointments whenever I felt I needed them during my recovery process was truly extraordinary. Dr. Greenberg takes seriously the importance of all of the realities these types of surgery entail, and I felt she took every possible precaution to ensure my preparedness and comfort, both physically and mentally. She is a truly gifted surgeon and a compassionate physician whose sense of responsibility to her patients is ever present.  I feel so lucky that I got to work with Dr. Greenberg on my little personal transformation; I feel like she gave me back myself.”

“My experience with Dr. Greenberg was absolutely wonderful.  I had been thinking of breast augmentation for years and never had the courage to go through with the process until I met Lauren Greenberg.  After having two children, my already small breasts had flattened out completely. I explained to her that I had never minded being small breasted but just wanted back what I had before children.  I did not want large unatural-looking implants.  In the process of researching doctors, every person I met who had the nicest and most natural results had all been to Dr. Greenberg.  After my first consult with her I knew she was my doctor.  Her confidence and honesty got me through the process and I could not be happier with my results.  It has been one year and four months since surgery and I am so happy I did it.  The entire process was so much easier than I ever thought.  I knew if I did exactly what she told me to do I would get the results I wanted and I did.  In the past year, I have referred two very good friends to her, and of course, the results are beautiful.  Thank you Dr. Greenberg!”

“I decided to look in to undergoing a breast augmentation late last year, and was referred to Dr. Greenberg. I met with her two/three times prior to deciding to go through with the procedure. Each time she made me feel more comfortable, but most importantly, made me feel that it was completely and totally my decision, and my decision only. Her professionalism and obvious knowledge was extremely comforting. She was on call to answer any of my questions before, and after the surgery. I think she’s fantastic and will be singing her praises to anyone who will listen! I’m thrilled with the outcome of the surgery and have Dr. Greenberg to thank!”

“Dear Dr. G.
Thank you for making my personal choice to have surgery so personal!

“I chose Dr. Greenberg because of her honesty and her amazing results focused on keeping her patients looking natural.  I can’t say enough about how positive my experience has been.  She has made this a smooth process and I am so happy with my results!  She has always promptly addressed my concerns before and after surgery which has made this so personal for me.   I recommend Dr. Greenberg to all my family and friends!
Thanks Dr. G.!”

“How lucky was I to have a sister that had surgery by Dr. Greenberg. I was able to go directly to a great plastic surgeon that has had me smiling since my surgery July 11, 2011. I want to tell everyone about her skill and talent and how I was so fortunate to have her as my surgeon.

I had 40 year old breast implants that were ruptured and Dr. Greenberg removed them and gave me a lift too. My breasts have never looked so wonderful and I know that if others were to see my before and after pictures her already busy office would be over flowing.

Dr. Greenberg is so focused on her patients getting the very best results that I am telling all my friends about her. I live in Mill Valley but I am so glad that I made the drive to Palo Alto.

I have 2 woman coming to my home tomorrow because they are considering a breast reduction and a lift. My friend told them about my surgery and that I was thrilled with the results. I hope that I can refer her business because I want other woman to be as satisfied and get the best care possible like I did by Dr. Greenberg.

I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Greenberg. I had a breast reduction and a lift and I am so happy with the results. I tell everyone to go to Dr. Greenberg. She is a perfectionist. She puts her patients first and she arrived at the hospital early to make sure that all was in place for my procedure. If you are seeking a compassionate professional that will produce the best results possible, there is no other plastic surgeon to consider. I met with 3 other plastic surgeons before I made the right decision to go with Dr. Greenberg.

I found Dr. Greenberg after several months of searching. I was unhappy with the size of my breasts implants and wanted to make a change. After interviewing five or six women surgeons, I made my decision and decided to run with Dr. Greenberg. From the first appointment and initial impression, I knew that Dr. Greenberg and her staff was top notch. Not only did I feel extremely comfortable talking to Dr. Greenberg, my husband felt the exact same way. We both came in numerous times and pestered her with more and more questions about this and that and what if and you know, all the apprehensions related to breast reduction. Every time, Dr. Greenberg answered every question we had in terms that we, non doctors understand and spent considerable amounts of time with us on each visit. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. Came down the day of surgery, she greeted us with a big smile, drew some lines on me, made me feel very relaxed and reassured me that I was going to be a very happy girl when I woke up, sore but still, very happy. Post surgery, she was 100 % correct, I could not have been happier. She created my new look exactly the way I envisioned and I could not be happier with the results. Her work is amazing! Very little down time too, maybe a month and that was it. I was back to the gym and loving my new look. It has been 4 months since the surgery and
I have very little scaring or pain. Dr. Greenberg’s expertise and ability to actually create what she told me she would create amazed me. Her work is beautiful and I can honestly say that, my new figure has changed my life and am the happiest I have ever been. I will highly recommend Dr. Greenberg for years to come. Dr. Greenberg does awesome work!

I met with Dr. Greenberg several times before the actual surgery and as other reviewers (old post) mentioned, she was very straight forward and was not pushy at all. She listened to what I was looking for but also gave me a very good suggestions. At the end I decided to have the surgery and I’m extremely happy with the result. It has been 3 months since I had the surgery, but my scar is pretty much gone and left only a great result. It looks very natural. I’m so glad I went to see Dr. Greenberg.
Thank you again!

I highly recommend Dr. Greenberg and tell my friend about her when they ask about age defying treatments. Dr. Greenberg reconstructed my breasts 1-1/2 years ago and I could not be more happy about the results. She was very thorough in explaining the results to me and I gave her my full trust and rightly so – she did a beautiful job with both breasts – one that was 35% missing tissue due to breast cancer. She took my “cut up boob” and made it match the other side as best as anyone could. It healed beautifully and 18 months later I am still very happy with the results. I fully trust her for all of my needs – fillers, lipo and anything else that I will need to have done over the years now since I am 50. Dr. Greenberg is honest and trustworthy. I can say this with confidence as I interviewed 6 surgeons around the SF Bay Area and went with my gut – best decision. Thank you Dr. Greenberg for helping me feel more confident and I appreciate your professionalism. Sincerely,

MM, Saratoga, CA, breast cancer reconstruction, breast lift, and filler, and liposuction patient

i wanted to write a review about Dr. Greenberg because she is a woman for whom I have enormous respect. She runs her own small office and isn’t affiliated with any of the large practices. I think seeing a woman doctor on her own is inspiring. When you meet her you know that she is a person of integrity who truly cares about the procedures that her patients are choosing. She is good at what she does and honestly provides feedback about what is and what isn’t necessary. I would recommend her to anyone who asks for an experienced talented plastic surgeon.

I saw Dr Greenberg for a skin consultation as I have a lot of sun damage due to years of sun worshipping. As I have aged I find that moisturizers have become a necessity and that there are way too many products out there which do little more than look good on you bathroom counter. She has a personal line of products that not only repair your skin but reverse the damage. Used with the exfoliate and the moisturizer I have seen a real improvement and am feeling much better about my appearance. These products are awesome and very affordable—I will never buy anything else.

Dr. Greenberg changed me life! She performed some corrective surgery from a procedure I had done many years ago. I know I should have had the correction done sooner, but then I may not have found Dr. Greenberg who did such an outstanding job. The results are beautiful and natural. It was the best money I have ever spent. Thank you Dr. Greenberg!

I have to say that I feel so lucky that I have found Dr. Greenberg! I interviewed a few doctors first and I took someone with me that had a lot of dealings w/Plastic Surgeons just to get a second opinion.

My first consult I was in near tears to show her my belly-totally blown out from two pregnancies very close together. She really understood my pain and total embarrassment I was walking around with. She took a very long time w/me and answered all of my questions, she never rushed me. She didn’t sugar coat anything and was upfront about all the possible ugly stuff that may come along w/abdominal surgery.

You can’t have surgery w/o scars but I know Dr. G did everything she could minimize the scars and put them low so I can easily hide them-even though I was was willing to let my stomach look like a road map I barely look touched. I mean, I really have to point them out to people and they are in total shock how great I look.

I can’t boast enough about the final results. I feel totally amazing, but mostly I feel like a sexy woman again. I proudly wear the snug tops again and I proudly tell people who fixed my stomach

I was worth it, every moment of the recovery (which was pretty easy I might add) and I would do it again but only if Dr. G was taken care of me. She is amazing and a great human! I am so grateful to have her in my life.

I’m so happy I found Dr. Greenberg! She did my tummy tuck two years ago. After two large babies, my stomach muscles had separated to an awful degree. I looked six months pregnant – and it wasn’t because I was fat. I also had constant back pain and so little abdominal control I couldn’t do a sit-up. But even after my primary care physician urged me to get a tummy tuck as soon as possible, I was hesitant to sign up for major surgery. So, I interviewed five different doctors – I think this is an important step for anyone considering a major procedure of any kind.

Dr. Greenberg really stood out. In the first place, her scar book – the photo album the doctors have in their office to show exactly what you can expect to look like afterwards – was incredible. Her scars didn’t have the “pulled” look I saw in so many other albums. She was also happy to meet with me several times when I had more questions. And she gave me a very honest assessment of what I could expect to achieve. She was warm and sympathetic, but also not afraid to tell the truth! After the procedure, she responded promptly when I had concerns – either over e-mail or by phone.

My results are incredible. My scar has faded to a thin white line that’s perfectly placed to not show when I’m wearing a bathing suit – even a bikini. Since having the procedure, I’ve seen other people’s scars from other doctors, and I’ve been happily surprised at how much better mine is. Most importantly, I’m STRONG again. I can do headstands in my yoga class! Thanks, Dr. Greenberg.

My introduction to Dr. Lauren Greenberg was in the beautiful work she did in giving me breasts. Breasts that look real and natural, and that fit my build. If you didn’t know they weren’t real, you’d never guess. That was nearly five years ago now, and I appreciate daily what she has done for me. Given me a figure where once there was none. But in the years that have followed this transformation, I’ve embarked upon other transformations as well, seeking now to combat the effects of time on the face and hands, and on the skin overall. I have a figure finally, now I want to forestall the aging process just a little. Slow it down, and enjoy life.

Dr. Greenberg works magic with the needle. She does Botox, and you don’t look like you have Botox. You look smoother, younger, the perpetual frown is gone, and, if you’re lucky, there will be a slight lift to your brows, which helps open up the area around your eyes. They’ll look a little bigger, a little brighter. But you won’t look like you’ve had anything done. You will look like you, and you will have the full range of expression. Dr. Greenberg works with fillers as well, and, again, the results are beautiful. Those pesky lines around your eyes and mouth will smooth out and melt away. It’s you, it’s all you, just with the clock cranked back a bit. And people will stop asking you whether you’re getting enough sleep.

But aging is relentless. Came the day, about three years ago, when I could no longer bear how hollow my face had become. I had the look about me of starvation. The standard fillers won’t do much for such large hollowed out areas. Dr. Greenberg suggested Sculptra. Sculptra doesn’t just fill in lines, it adds volume. And it lasts, for up to two years or more. But it means, perhaps more so than with anything else, you must have absolute confidence in your surgeon. Me, I didn’t have to think twice.

Three years later, and I look better than I could have ever imagined. No one knows I’m having “work” done. People tell me I look healthy.

I wouldn’t let anyone else near my face. My doc’s touch is sure, her eye unerring. She’s simply the best.

Squeezed in a final visit to my favorite surgeon today before leaving the Bay area after 20 years and heading to Boston. As usual, Dr. Greenberg was lovely, and I am going to miss her extraordinary and sincere bedside manner. I have been a client of Dr. Greenbergs for over a decade since first visiting her to correct severe, unwarranted (no children yet) ptosis in my already size D breasts. She provided me with honest feedback and ensured I had realistic expectations about the outcome of any surgery, whether it were a lift etc. Ultimately, I went with a mid sized implant under the muscle, instead of going with a lift that might have resulted in extensive scarring. The outcome has been fantastic and 10 years later, I am still very happy. Dr. Greenberg also had a wonderful approach to “Mommy Makeovers” ! I went to see her after my first child to figure out how to get rid of the last bit of challenging chub on my tummy, thighs and flanks. I wanted a tummy tuck, and she helped me understand the procedure, and as usual in sincerely honest approach, helped me to see that a tummy tuck wasn’t necessary at all, that will a little bit of lipo in the right areas, and diet & exercise, I would have the results I came in looking for. Two years after that procedure, I am completely pleased – Dr. Greenberg is not just a surgeon, but an artist as well! She completely resculpted my waistline and gave me curves that were better than when I was 25! I am fortunate that in every consultation, Dr. G has been direct, honest and clear with what to expect, where other doctors that I had consulted with more or less agreed with me or told me what I wanted to hear. I have referred her to dozens of friends who have had similarly great expriences. When it comes to procedures like these, its crucial to find a doc with integrity, a good sense of humor, and willing to tell it like it is. A consummate professional, I can guarantee that I will be coordinating my future botox appointments (which is another A++ for the Dr.G!) during my business travels to the Bay Area!

Dr. Greenberg stitched up my five year old’s tongue on Monday. She was the perfect combination of calm, comforting and awesome!! It looks great. He had a deep laceration to his tongue and needed an injection of lidocaine placed directly into his wound (did I mention that it was on his TONGUE!!). I have no doubt that he would NOT have tolerated this procedure with a less than perfect combination of confidence and calm–which Dr. Greenberg has in spades!! Hats off to Dr. Lauren. She did a fantastic job!!

(Important Note: I just want to let everyone know that Yelp now filters out reviews from users that aren’t frequent raters. As this new application may be useful to other businesses, it’s not very good for plastic surgeons, who patients, like me, received beautiful natural-looking results and have no desire to reveal their identity, but want to rave of their doctor’s impeccable work, so therefore made a separate account in order to do so. I mean honestly, if this continues, I will have no choice but to review other businesses just so other people will be able to read this review! Yes, I’m that excited about my wonderful results. It’s the least I can do for Dr. Greenberg, as her talent has changed my life completely. If any Yelpers have any questions regarding my breast augmentation with Dr. Lauren Greenberg, feel free to message me privately.)

It’s been a couple weeks since I had my breast augmentation and I am just elated. At first I was apprehensive about getting an incision under the breast since it’s scarring is more noticeable than around the areola. But it’s only been 2 weeks since my augmentation and my scarring is practically invisible when I face the mirror topless, all because Dr. Greenberg was able to make a small incision at the exact location under my beasts where it casts a thin shadow. Of course the scar is somewhat noticeable when lift up my breasts, but it has really only been 2 weeks and this is just a minor trade-off I was willing to take in order to get the wonderful results I’ve received from Dr. Greenberg. I am in love with my new set of twins. They are absolutely perfect. I feel so much more comfortable, confident and beautiful and it all now beams through my body language. I am just go glad proceeded with the breast augmentation, now I don’t have deal with skin irritations from stuffing my bra. This procedure took a load off my chest, ironic eh? haha! Thank you so much Dr. Greenberg. I am truly honored to be one of your patients!

1 Previous Review:

3/20/2011

A couple years ago, my girlfriends sat me down and gave me an intervention about the my overuse of makeup.

They had a problem with how I caked raccoon eyes and plastered false lashes just to walk two blocks to the mailbox. I looked in the mirror and they were right.. I realized I do looked like a 5-dollar hooker trying to sport a dark blue smokey-eye look with bronzer 3 shades too dark- my face looks like I belonged in Jersey Shore, but my body was the same shade as a corpse. They said I had no choice but give up makeup and let my skin BREATHE, for just a week. After the first few days, I was ready to trade in my 3 year old nephew for the return of my makeup. But by the end of the week, I began to feel more comfortable in my skin and admiring this whole “natural” look. My only concern was that I had was my balding lash line from the constant tearing out of falsies. God, I love my honest friends. But why didn’t they grow the balls to give me an intervention sooner? My highly-arched eyebrows that made me look like I had a horrible facelift probably intimidated them. Yes, that’s probably why.

So, I originally found Dr. Greenberg through Yelp when I was looking for specials on Latisse, a powerful eyelash enhance. Buy 1, get 1 free Latise? My stereotypical inner asian instincts say, HECK YES! Within 3 months & with the help of Latise & an eyelash perm, my lashes began to swipe the ceiling cause they’re so long! I no longer cake on pounds of makeup nor use false lashes. A few simple swipes of mascara and I’d walk out of my house feeling like a million dollars. Everywhere I go, people of all ethnicities comment on how beautiful, thick and long my lashes are, and I refer them all to Dr. Greenberg.

Ok enough about me, this review should be about Dr. Greenberg, (see how self-centered I am with my newfound lashes?). Since the dinosaurs roamed the earth, I have always known I wanted a breast augmentation. Growing up, I’d stuff my bra with anything within arms distance. In high school, I decided to work towards savings up to finally get this procedure done. Four jobs and 3 1/2 years later, I finally saved enough to make my dream come true!

First, you must know, finding a plastic surgeon is like finding a soulmate, you have to date around to find out who’s truly, “the one.” You are exposing your innermost insecurities and blindly trusting this person to mold you a better version of yourself. I have invested a huge amount of my life working to be financially capable of paying for my own procedure and had declined countless nights out and shopping sprees in order to save for it. I’m typically the type to dive in head first when I want something. But I knew this procedure is life-changing and I wanted to consult with a good amount of doctors before settling with one. For the next few months I visited 8 other different surgeons who quoted me 5000-7000 dollars for silicone breast implant augmentation. One of those consultations was with Dr. Greenberg, who has heavy experience and extensive knowledge on this procedure, as she performs 50-70 cases a year. She spent a generous amount of time clearly explaining to me everything I needed to know about the procedure. She allowed me feel the different implant types and on top of that, sent me home with a kit that consisted of different implant samples so I could place them in my bra to see what size I’d prefer. She put my anxieties at ease and effectively helped me finally decide to get silicone implants, under the muscle and through the bottom of my breast. My boyfriend and I left her office knowing that she was, “the one.” However, her price was a bit steeper than I anticipated, so I couldn’t get the augmentation as soon as I wanted. (She does accept credit card, but I personally feel better paying in full. I’m sure she’d appreciate that as well.) It’s been almost half a year since my first consultation and I’m scheduled for my pre-op tomorrow. I’m typically a highly anxious person to begin with, but knowing that I will be taken care of by such masterful artist such as Dr. Lauren Greenberg, I hold nothing but pure excitement about my procedure. I am extremely privileged to have the opportunity to be her patient and I will update next month with great news of how my procedure goes

It’s been a week since I’ve gotten my breast augmentation and a minor liposuction procedure done and now I cannot look in the mirror without tears of joy streaming down my face. And it’s all thanks to Dr. Greenberg’s expert aesthetic eye. My confidence has amplified since I met her the first day I walked into her office to buy my first box of Latisse. She thoroughly worked with me over the years to help me finally knock out the kinks on my body that found dissatisfying. And the results exceeded my expectations. What attracted me the most is her concern for the future aesthetic beauty and well-being of her patients and puts into consideration if the procedure be beneficial as we age, or will it create complications. She could have easily pocketed thousands of dollars from me, but instead, told me not to get certain procedures done due to the high potential of dissatisfaction when my 30′s-40′s rolls around. She is the only surgeon that I consulted with who was blunt enough to admit this to me, along with a great deal of other helpful information. She’s not your typical plastic surgeon who is ready and willing to proceed with your extensive list of surgeries in exchange for your life savings without mentioning that 10-40 years down the road the drawbacks will most likely outweigh the temporary benefits. She treats her patients with patience and premium concern and care as though they are her daughter or sister. Her office is beautiful and cozy, which makes her patients feel comfortable. It doesn’t have that cold-plastic-highly-moder n feel to it, as other plastic surgeons I consulted with had. What are you, as a patient, you paying for? The Picasso painting hanging on the wall of your surgeon’s waiting room? The high-rent of a room located in the heart of a rich city? Or are you paying for the flawless expertise, extensive knowledge and personable care of your doctor? That’s what I was looking to pay for, and those are just a few of the many great qualities that I saw in Dr. Lauren Greenberg. And on the side note, the ladies in the front desk, Patty and Marty, are warm-hearted sociable sweethearts. I highly recommend Dr. Greenberg to anyone who wants to enhance themselves and expect beautiful, natural and precise results that will leave you more than satisfied!

She changed my life for the better!
Dr. Greenberg is an extremely skilled, compassionate surgeon. I had been through 2 breast augmentation and reduction surgeries. One was performed by a well known on TV beverly hills plastic surgeon who is a supposed known expert, who left me disappointed, disfigured and never even saw me after the surgery even though I tried to schedule with him. I have to say since my first appt with Dr. Greenberg, she knew what I had gone through and understood me thoroughly and took the time to understand my needs and she gave me very comprehensive advice. I thought I needed a smaller implant but she suggested I had enough breast tissue to remove implants and she was correct. I have never even in my twenties had perky nice figured breasts. She uses a technique that leaves minimal scarring and s sure to uplift the breast. Now, I take off my bra and have to stare awhile in the mirror because I can’t believe the nice well shaped perky breasts in the mirror are mine. I look at them for the first time admiring them adoringly. Although I have always had a positive outlook and disposition, I cannot explain how Dr. Greenberg’s skillful work has given me my life back. I can wear pretty shirts that close and do not pop open, my breasts have a beautiful uplift and I can exercise and even jog again. Life is definitely better. Dr. Greenberg has studied different techniques and explains why she uses the technique she does and explained to me exaxtly what to expect after. This experience was so vastly different than the other two I had. I would recommend my sister, my mother, a friend to Dr. Greenberg because I trust her fully and know that as a woman she cares about women, their health and has the skill to help women beccome the best they can be. She would never push a procedure on anybody and explains clearly before the outcomes that can be expected. As far as caring for her patients, she took the time on her way home from her vacation for a follow up visit with me after the holidays as my home is 2 hours away from her office. I cannot sing her praises enough. In short, yes, I highly recommend her. From California

DR. Lauren Greenberg is the only board certified plastic surgeon I will let work on me now. Dr. Greenberg takes as much time as you need during consults to ensure that you have all the information you need, and that all questions are answered. I went in wanting a breast reduction and mini face lift, and instead she told me I needed a lift, not a reduction and could do it with a lollypop incision. My other surgeon that I was schedule for the procedure said I had to have an anchor incision and take me down to a C, which is smaller than I wanted. This is a HUGE difference in scarring and size. It’s easier to take off more breast tissue later on if I want them smaller than to have to put an implant in to get the size back. Regarding the request for a mini face lift, she said it wasn’t time and suggested several other options that were non-invasive and much less expensive. (I am 48 years old). I said I’d go the Juvederm route first, and she stayed late to administer it without hesitation. I went back three weeks later for a second round, and the next day coworkers told me how good/rested I looked – vibrant with great skin!

Dr. Greenberg does not up sell you, gives you all of the downsides of treatments and surgeries and is honest about complications that past patients have had and how to avoid them. She doesn’t talk down to you, doesn’t use clinical terms that a layman would not understand, and uses analogies to explain how the different options work.

She is very busy, and you need to be patient when making appointments because she is so booked…because she is THAT good. I have two more procedures scheduled with her and am no longer afraid to have the surgery. Check out her website – she puts so much time and thought into it to educate her patients and the public. She described the different incisions for breast reductions/lifts including what she favors and how she does it. Don’t have fillers or surgeries done until you have the chance to meet her. You’ve be happy you did.

Dr. Greenberg is brilliant. Her work is impeccable and you won’t be dissapointed. Like every plastic surgeon, she has her own idea of what would look right/beautiful and she is very honest and straight forward. She won’t let you look foolish and takes pride in making sure you come out looking as natural as possible. My results were perfect and I couldn’t ask for anything better. I strongly recommend her for your procedure. She’s personable and cares about her patients and at the same time flexible to work with you and make time for you whenever needed. GO TO HER! : )
