From the reviews
Dr Howard is an artistic plastic surgeon. He helps you choose the procedure that is best for you. Dr Howard has a way of setting you at ease from the moment you meet him. In my case he told some jokes to soften the atmosphere. A few days after my surgery on a Friday evening Dr Howard called me to see how I was doing.
2025: Had a second surgery with him and so impressed. He is so talented and kind. And his staff is just the same. Love the results! 2021: One of the best! Dr Howard is a highly skilled surgeon who is also caring, compassionate and very easy to work with.
Dr. Howard Is a gifted surgeon. Not only is he skilled, he is caring. He takes his time explaining his surgical procedures and is readily available for follow up questions. I was fortunate to find doctor Howard after being told by another plastic surgeon that they would not be able to give me my desired surgery.
Dr. Howard was incredible! He truly cares for his patients and he did a fantastic job with my surgery. His team of nurses are also fabulous & they are extremely quick with responding to messages. Nurse Sylvia was such a pleasure at each and every appointment. Highly recommend!
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
