QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Thank you for your question.  Hidradenitis can be a frustrating problem.  It should not, however, prevent you from safely undergoing tummy tuck and breast augmentation or from getting a great post-op result.  I would recommend visiting with your dermatologist prior to surgery to ensure that the hidradenitis is properly under control and to potentially receive suppressive or prophylactic antibiotic therapy.  Following surgery, you should continue to be monitored for issues stemming from it, and treat them accordingly. Good luck!

Thanks for your question.  Prior to undergoing mommy makeover surgery - breast augmentation combined with tummy tuck, in this case - you should ensure that you are in good health and are taking care of yourself.  Exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and eat a diet that is rich in lean protein, as the body needs protein to heal.  Ensure that your family support is in order and that your home is a comfortable place in which to recover.  Good luck with your operation.  It will prove to be truly transformative!

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately your photos appear far too close up to evaluate properly.  I would recommend evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast and body work to determine the appropriate surgical plan to return your body to its pre-baby state.  Tummy tuck, liposuction and mini tummy tuck are all potential options; as are breast augmentation both with and without lift.

Thank you for your question and your photos.  Indeed you should not require a formal mastopexy (lift), with its associated scars, to correct your problem.  Symmetry could likely be achieved with a slightly smaller implant, coupled with some work to tighten the internal capsule around the implant, especially at its lower-most margin.  That said, your result is overall very good.  You could easily avoid a second operation altogether.

Thank you for your question and photos.  You do not appear to have a large degree of breast ptosis (sag), and in fact, your nipple position is quite appropriate.  The appearance of your breasts, including, to some degree, the position and direction of your nipples, would likely be improved significantly with placement of breast implants alone.  If any lift is indicated, you would not require a full vertical scar; a periareolar mastopexy would be a reasonable option.  Regarding your piercing, there is no reason why it would need to be affected.  The bar would be removed prior to the operation and simply replaced prior to waking you from anesthesia.  Good luck to you!

Thank you for your question.  A breast lift (mastopexy) will likely be an excellent option for restoring your breast shape following pregnancy and breastfeeding, especially in the presence of previously-placed breast implants.  Cost will vary depending on your geographic location.  In NY where I practice, expect to spend $10-15k.  Outside of major urban areas this number would likely be somewhat less.  Regardless of cost or location, please ensure that you are taken care of by a board-certified plastic surgeon in order to optimize your safety and the quality of your outcome.

Thank you for your question.  While it is always recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid large amounts of weight gain following liposuction, on occasion weight gain is inevitable.  Your body will preferentially store fat in areas that were not treated with liposuction, potentially resulting in unfavorable and unbalanced overall body contour.  The degree of this is somewhat unpredictable and is dependent on the amount of liposuction that you underwent, as well as the amount of weight that you gain.  5-10 pounds should not make a large difference; 20-30 almost certainly would.

Thank you for your question.  Over-resection can be a significant problem with liposuction, especially if performed by inexperienced hands.  Fortunately, your issue can likely be addressed and significantly improved with fat transfer.  If undertaken correctly and if appropriate post-op care is given, approximately 60-75% of the fat that is grafted to the area will remain permanently.  A surgeon experienced with this technique will anticipate this and overcorrect accordingly.  Don't despair!  Your problem is correctable.

Thank you for your question and photos.  Liposuction to this area can be very effective when performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.  You'd likely be an excellent candidate, as you are young and healthy, not overweight, and have what appears to be good skin elasticity.  If limited to this area, the procedure could potentially be performed under local/tumescent anesthesia.  Cost will be somewhat variable depending on your geographic location.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question, and for posting your photos.  As you appear to have a reasonable degree of breast tissue volume, a lift without breast implants would likely be a nice option for you - with the understanding that you may not achieve the degree of fullness of the upper pole of the breast that an implant would otherwise provide.  That said, the lift alone would reduce the size of the areola and raise its position on the chest wall, while producing an overall higher, rounder, more aesthetically pleasing breast.

Dr. Zuckerman Gave Me my Dream Boobs!

I had been thinking about getting a breast lift for years, but was always terrified of some of the bad results out there: square looking breasts with horrible scarring. I thought my sort of saggy boobs would still be better than this. However, I saw some amazing breast lift photos from Dr. Zuckerman and they inspired me to take the plunge. I could not be happier that I did! My breasts are now perfectly round, perky, symmetrical, and sitting high up on my chest where I always wished they were! I love them soooo much. The incision sites are very very thin and I have faith the scars will eventually barely show. I love my new boobies!

Natural results - my booty is still perky and amazing after 4 years

One day I woke up and realized that no amount of squads will give me a nice BOOTY. It took me 2 years to find the right doctor. I wanted a natural look. So yes, I am writing this review 4 years after my surgery, and want to say that my booty is still up, perky and amazing. My body curves created by Dr Zuckerman are still where they should be and my belly is flat. I am a masterpiece!! I look as if I was naturally a curvy girl (I WAS NOT! I WAS FLAT LIKE A PLASMA TV). I did BBL, rounder hips, lipo on belly and on my back. I choose Dr Zuckerman because he had amazing background, education, experience, work ethics, integrity, his before/after were just incredible and the whole office staff was extremely supportive , kind, patient and honest. I was in direct communication with everyone day and night. They were there to answer my every little stupid question. Hands down, he is one of the best plastic surgeons in the country. MY PIC (before & after) IS IN HIS GALLERY on his website, can you find it? :) We are still friends, I go see him for Botox, and I talked to him recently actually about doing my upper eyelids (I am 45). He explained the protocol and walked me through it, so I will be booking in few weeks. The one thing I really love about DR Zuckerman is that he always gives me undivided attention. Actually, the whole office makes me feel like a super VIP. 10/10.

Amazing results breast reduction/ lift , Renuvion lipo and TT scar revision! With Dr. Z!

In September of 2021 I had TT Lipo 360 and a BBL with ANOTHER surgeon. The results were mediocre. I wasn't happy with my TT scar which was uneven, wide and to me looked rushed. (If that makes any sense.) I was self conscious didn't like the overall appearance of the scar that I was left with. The same feeling I had with my PREVIOUS SURGEONS lipo. I felt there was STILL an excessive amount of fat around my belly, back and arms and I was disappointed with the results. I've always had extra large breast's 36DDD that were uncomfortable and heavy. I was unhappy with my body and I thought my breasts looked like they belonged older woman's body. With all that being said I decided to do some research and find a new surgeon who could help. That is when I found Dr. Zuckerman! Dr. Zuckerman is truly an honest plastic surgeon who made me feel comfortable and very honest. On September 2022 I underwent several procedures with Dr. Z . Breast Reduction/Lift, Lipo & TT scar revision. I went from 36DDD to a 36D and had a lift. My breasts are perky, round and a perfect size that compliments the rest of my body. The scarring under my breasts and around my nipples are MINIMAL!!! The recovery was uncomfortable but tolerable. He also revised my TT scar and all I can say is WOW! So thin and so neat! Renuvion Lipo is the answer! My skin feels tight and I believe this technique is the best as opposed to traditional lipo. Dr. Zuckerman is a great plastic surgeon my only regret is that I wish I would've found Dr. Zuckerman sooner! I highly recommend Dr.Z to anyone who is in search of an honest plastic surgeon who is compassionate, understanding of their patients needs/expectations & has a wonderful staff (shoutout to MiMi!!!) Thank you so much!

should have done it sooner !

I have been looking into this procedure for years and finally made the choice to do it ! After spending years researching different surgeons- all over the US, I can definitely say I made the best decision going with Dr Zuckerman. From pre-op to post-op I can not think of one complaint. Upon meeting Dr. Z, his main priority was making sure my health was at safety due to pre-existing health conditions, and everything went smoother than I ever imagined! All I went in for was a breast lift, but the day of surgery, at no extra cost, Dr. Z realized during measurements that my breasts were different sizes and gave me a reduction on one breast so that they would be the same size after surgery. Many other surgeons would charge extra for this- and he did not charge extra. The staff was incredibly supportive and there to answer any questions I needed, before and the following weeks after surgery. I did need a hotel to stay at as well and they provided me contacts and discount codes to make booking the room seamless. The results I got from the breast lift were better than I imagined. I’m now almost 3 months post op and everything healed amazingly and looks great with no complications at all. I’d highly recommend Dr Zuckerman to anyone searching for an amazing plastic surgeon ! If you’re on the fence about getting this done, I can assure Dr. Zuckerman and his staff will take the best care of you !

My breasts never looked this good and my belly button looks natural

So on November 29 I got a mommy makeover. It consisted of Lipo on my flanks and abdomen . Tummy tuck, breast lift and removal of fat under my arms. I will update with pictures when I get my drains out but let me tell you I have got the most perfect result. My breast never looked this good and my belly button looks more natural than any I've seen. This man is not just a surgeon he is an artist. The price was worth every penny. Don't cut corners with your body. Everyone there has been very helpful and supportive. Dr Z Thank you.

Amazing BBL lipo revision - I’m so thankful for other reviewers that helped me find him

I had Liposuction revision with Dr. Z and it was an answer to my prayers. I had a previous bbl with very aggressive uneven lipo. There was over etching in my arms, leaving me with lumps and hollow spots, and a random roll of fat in my back and areas of fat in my thighs.My arm also had a very noticeable scar when the previous surgeon entered with his cannula. I was so self conscious that I had stopped wearing any tops that showed my arms. I spent the summer avoiding the beach and pools and not wearing anything other than T-shirts that covered my arms and butt.Dr Z took some fat by reshaping my butt - the bbl was too large and over filled at the top giving me a shelf appearance that didn’t fit my body - and recontoured my arms, lipoed the fat roll in my back, lipoed my thighs and revised the scar on my arm.The new scar is only three weeks old and it’s hardly visible. My arm is so much smoother and I can actually wear tank tops again. I’m so thankful for other reviewers that helped me find him. He’s super down to earth and honest. Office staff is very nice as well.

Mommy Makeover

Fabulous Transformation

I am completely happy with my "mommy makeover". Not only is Dr. Zuckerman an excellent surgeon but also an artist, not true of others I consulted with. I (40F) am six weeks out from abdominoplasty, breast augmentation with implants, and upper arm lipo. While surgery recovery is of course challenging, there have been zero complications, and my life is already transformed. Completely worth it. Dr. Zuckerman and the entire office is a pleasure to work with.

A Year Later! Their new shape is perfect

Dr. Zuckerman is an awesome surgeon, a true artist. I had a breast reduction a year ago and went from a DD to C cup. I couldn’t be happier with how I’ve healed. Their new shape is perfect. Additionally, my neck pain is gone and shopping is way more fun. I felt comforted and cared for during the entire process. His whole team is great!
