“I’m 37 years old and lost 120lbs on my own when I was 18. I have lived with the excess skin for all these years and decided it was time to do something about it. I did the research like everyone else, went on many consultations even as far as Naples, but just didn’t feel comfortable with any of them. That’s when my mother remembered seeing a Dr. Shuster when she was younger and had a very pleasant appointment with him. Even though it was his father and no longer practicing she suggested I go see the son. Dr. Bernard Shuster was a wonderful surprise, not only did he make me feel comfortable but his attitude toward my whole body lift was so positive and exciting that the recovery seemed so little of a price to pay for what my outcome would be. So, I decided to schedule the surgery with Dr. Shuster for May 29,2007. It was really a pleasant experience from the office staff to the hospital staff and of course the surgeon. The recovery amazed me, I had no pain during or after, never took any pain medication and because I followed Dr. Shusters post surgical instructions, had no complications. I was so happy with my results that I scheduled my arm lift for July 26, 2007. I had wanted to do the thigh lift but Dr. Shuster said no, he wanted me to fully recover from the upper and lower body lift before he would even consider doing the thighs. He only thinks of his patients well being and making sure we get the best outcome possible. So the arms were a breeze, again a quick recovery, no complications and extremely happy with the outcome. With soon being 5 months since my whole body lift, Dr. Shuster has given me the okay to schedule my thigh lift for November 7, 2007. I am looking forward to finally being able to wear skirts ,shorts and showing off my legs that have been covered for far too long. I am thankful everyday for finding such an amazing surgeon and such a caring and wonderful staff (Tami, Paryse & Beverly). I highly recommend Dr. Bernard Shuster!”
