Abdominoplasty Testimonials

Hi Dr. Greenberg.

I want to stay anonymous, but I wanted to share my story with you.

I have three beautiful babies from C-section births. Each one did a number on my body. I’m a petite 5’2″ woman that keeps in shape and struggled getting my pre baby body back. I kept working out and running for several years after having my kids.

After meeting Dr. Greenberg, I was told not only did my skin stretch out, but I had a 2 inch diastasis recti separation and an umbilical hernia to go with it. I finally decided to have the surgery, and words cannot express how happy I am today.  Surgery and the 4- 6 weeks that followed were tough. Real tough.

However, it was the best thing I could have done for getting my body back. Dr. Greenberg was super knowledgeable and always available. I could not have asked for a smoother experience.

I hope this is helpful to others.

 

I am so excited to write this review for Dr.Greenberg. I lost 137 pounds 9 years ago and had a lot of excess skin. ALOT! I decided to do something about the excess skin. I went to a Dr. that was recommended by a friend. He was very aggressive and wanted to do a huge amount of surgery that I really did not want. So I looked on YELP and found Dr. Greenberg. I decided to give her a try. What a difference, she spoke with me and my husband for almost an hour about the Tummy Tuck. She explained it entirely and was so informative. Not only that but she was warm, friendly and really kind. I had a Tummy Tuck on Jan 6, 2015. It was exactly what she said it would be, she told me what to expect and she was honest about the pain and the pain control. When in the operating room she held my hand until I was asleep and when I woke up she was right there holding my hand. She removed 6.5 pounds of excess skin and did liposuction on my knees and bra area. It was thrilling to see the results. Each week was better and better. Three months later WOW! I went from a 12/14 to a solid 8. Again WOW. I love Dr.Greenberg she is just a genuinely kind and caring person and an AMAZING surgeon. I would recommend her to anybody and I already have to several friends who every time they see me say how great I look. So if you are looking for a Plastic Surgeon look at 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. It 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.

I was referred to Dr. Greenberg last year by an acquaintance. I was so fortunate that my friend had done all the “leg work.” Dr. Greenberg spent two hours with me during our initial consultation. I never felt rushed or pressured. My surgery could not have gone better.

Dr. Greenberg is so forthright. She absolutely will not do any procedure if she thinks it is not right for you. Additionally, whenever I had a question before, during and after my surgery, Dr. Greenberg was a phone call away. I cannot say enough about Dr. Greenberg’s credentials, skills and patient comfort.

Dear Dr. Greenberg,

When I met you just a few short months ago, I walked into your office just “a shell of a woman”. I was a Mom of two wonderful children that I totally adored, I have the most amazing husband anyone could ever want, a house in the mountains that I just loved living in. Someone may wonder how I became just a shell of a woman while having everything I had ever wanted?

Well it was because of my “war wounds” from having children. I was so embarrassed to show you my stomach I was in near tears, but when I heard your very soothing voice saying, “Oh sweetie”, right there and then I knew you understood my journey and my pain. Thank you for not being like other Plastic Surgeons. Thank you for not making me feel small or vain for wanting to get my stomach back to a somewhat normal looking stomach. Thank you for helping to never hear again “Oh when are you due” and my answer was, “I am not pregnant I am just fat”. But I wasn’t fat. I had some lady rub my stomach and give the “aaawwww” as if I was expecting-that did it. Well that and the 4 days of crying over it. Thank you for admitting that my breasts were “just fine” and “leave them alone”, my husband totally agreed with you too!

You gave me hope that I could look and feel like a sexy lady again. Saying thank you never seems like enough to you and to Marty for everything you have given me. By you and your great work I was able to lose 7 inches off my waist! Yes world, you read that correctly 7 INCHES! This surgery was never about weight loss, it was all about correcting my super blown out stomach.

Right now I feel like the character of “Buddy Love” from “The Nutty Professor”, I swear every time I go into a store to shop for myself, I want to scream, “SPANDEX! I WANT SPANDEX!” While I do know that there is a load and/or age limit on Spandex, it’s really funny to say it to people!

Just flat out bless you for filling my “shell” and giving my family back their Momma. I swear if I ever want any type of “tune up” no other Plastic Surgeon will ever touch me.

Sincerely yours,
KG
