From the reviews

I have lived in the Triangle area of NC only for the last year, having moved here from living 40 years in Tallahassee, FL. I am firmly in the Duke Medical System and have now, other than my Dentist all my medical needs being met by Duke Associated Medical Providers...

I had a belly button revision procedure with Dr. Detlev Erdmann. He and his nursing staff took such great care of me. I am an employee and it was nice to be treated just like a patient. My belly button is healing nicely and it looks great.

★★★★★ — Annie, Feb 2017

I can't say enough great things about the doctors and staff here!!! The nurses are so caring and wonderful. Anna is always sweet and helpful at check-in. Mindi is a terrific skin care specialist!! Everyone I have encountered at the aesthetic center has been top notch!! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I’m writing this review 10 days post-op after having a revision rhinoplasty to fix both breathing and cosmetic issues from a previous surgery I had somewhere else. Dr. Barrett is truly amazing. He actually listens and takes your concerns seriously.

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.
