"LOWER BODY LIFT ON OCTOBER 7, 2008
I am 29 years old and had lap band surgery in June of 2006. Since then I have lost over 130 lbs. As a young single woman, I was ecstatic with my weight loss but very self conscious of my excess skin. I started considering plastic surgery when I was approximately 30 lbs from my goal weight. Initially, I researched plastic surgeons in my area that were experienced with bariatic patients and came across Dr. Shuster’s name. I then consulted my bariatic surgeon’s office, US Bariatic (Dr. Marema), and was told that they only recommend one plastic surgeon – Dr. Shuster. After reading all of his excellent reviews on Obesity Help AND getting a referral from my bariatric surgeon, I was ready to schedule a consultation with Dr. Shuster.
Needless to say, I was extremely nervous for my consultation; however, Dr. Shuster alleviated all my fears. He was honest and professional in his opinions and took his time to answer all my questions.
I liked Dr. Shuster immediately but felt that I would not have been thorough in my research if I did not consult with at least one other surgeon. Within the first 15 minutes of my consultation with the other surgeon there was no doubt in my mind that Dr. Shuster was the way to go! Unlike the other surgeon, I did not feel that Dr. Shuster was “telling me what I wanted to hear.” I felt (and still do feel) that Dr. Shuster considers his work to be an art form and will not compromise his work for an easy sale.
I scheduled my lower body lift for October 7, 2008 at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach. The surgery went well with no complications. I woke up to very little pain and a whole new body! During my two day stay at Mt. Sinai, I received wonderful care from smiling faces. The staff was more than accommodating. I would recommend the Mt. Sinai 8th floor to anybody!
As I sit here, a week out of surgery, I am ecstatic with the results and care that I have received from Dr. Shuster and his wonderful staff. I have such little pain and discomfort that if the weren’t for my fabulous new body, I wouldn’t believe I just had major surgery!
I highly recommend Dr. Shuster!
