“I had my brachioplasty and lower body lift with Dr. Shuster just 6 six days ago. I couldn’t be happier. I have to pinch myself (although there is alot less to pinch now!) to make sure its real. I had gastric bypass surgery 2/07. It never crossed my mind that I need to have surgery to remove the loose skin until about the last 30-40 pounds when all that loose skin went south. I started to not want to look at myself “again” unless I had clothes on. I looked terrific in clothes but living in S. Florida I like to spend alot of time outdoors and at the beach. I had become embarrassed and was hiding my body again because it looked pretty bad. Do any of you know what a Shar Pei dog looks like? Thats what my tummy, thighs, and fanny were like. I knew that I didn’t want to go through the rest of my life hiding again. I did a huge amount of research about the surgery before I decided it was right for me. My gastric bypass surgeon, Dr. Perez referred me to Dr. Shuster. I knew from the first phone call to his office that this was going to be a very positive experience. His office staff is extremely friendly and professional. This is so important when you embark on unknown territory that can be scary. When I met Dr. Shuster any doubts or fears I had melted away. He takes a great deal of time to explain the procedure with personal attention to your specific issues. He shares in your enthusiasium with also help to easy the anxiety. My surgery was done at Mount Sinai. The treatment couldn’t have been better from the nurses, anesthesiologists, the staff that brings your meals. Everyone asked how you felt and could they get you anything. The entire process went smooth as silk, my thanks to Paryse, who walked me through the entire process and was always available when I had questions. The discomfort from the surgery is minimal and well managed with pain medication. I couldn’t wait until Dr. Shuster removed the bandages and I got to see the results. I am elated! My arms are small, tight, & sculpted; my tummy is flat and hard as a rock; and my thighs and fanny look better that when I was in my twenties! I won’t be hiding any more!!! Anyone out there who is considering having this surgery, consider no more, and go for it. Its the perfect ending to a perfect story. I wouldn’t think of having any other doctor do these procedures as he is so highly qualified. The fact that he has such a wonderful bedside manner is just the icing on the cake. I have to say, I thought I was done, but now that I see what wonderful results can be achieved, I plan to go back for perky breasts and a little face/neck pick up. My sincerest heartfelt thanks to Dr. Shuster, Paryse, and staff. Outstanding care.”
