From the reviews
I am so glad I chose Dr. Shah for my FDL procedure! I’m only 2 WPO, but I am thrilled with my results so far and know they’re only going to continue to get better! During my consult, he was incredibly patient and thorough. I never felt rushed and he answered all of my questions and concerns.
Dr. Shah and his team are the best! I came to Dr. Shah because he had done a couple of my friend’s procedures, and they had stellar reviews. As expected, my entire experience has been great. Dr. Shah is very friendly and realistic. You can tell he cares about his patients and the experience they have.
I chose Dr. Alexandre Prassinos as my surgeon after extensive research. He is an ivy league graduate and truly has a passion for what he does. During my consultations he never pressured me for “more” he just wanted what was best, healthiest and would make me happy.
My experience has been nothing but amazing! Dr. Shah and the entire team at CIPS are absolutely wonderful. They explained every step of the process clearly and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. After surgery, they checked on me multiple times and were incredibly thorough!
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.
