From the reviews

I went to Dr. Varkony for an arm lift and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire process was great. In the first visit Dr. Varkony explained the procedure and patiently answered all of my many questions. The surgery was smooth and effortless on my part. Follow ups have been wonderful. I highly recommend Dr.

As a former cancer patient, I’ve been around a lot of doctors and surgeons. Dr. Varkony is truly a gifted surgeon! I’m almost three months out from my breast reduction/lift with him and could not be happier with the results! Extremely professional and he has a great bedside manner. I’m very grateful for his hard work!

I came in for a facial lipo consultation with Dr. Varkony and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff was wonderful and kept me updated before my appointment. When I arrived, I didn’t have to wait at all, which I really appreciated. Dr.

Met with Dr Varkony today to discuss a hidden scar arm lift . Very impressed with Dr Varkony. Although I turn out not to be a candidate for the procedure, it was refreshing to have the doctor let me know that due to my medical history and skin condition he would prefer I not do the procedure. Great visit!

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.
