About this practice
From the reviews
Excellent Doctor. Very patient with questions, polite, thoughtful. He has been my doctor for about 8 years. During that time, he has treated me for fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, broken capillaries, irregularly shaped moles, eyelash enhancement, lip enhancement, a severe burn, and a scar on my face.
Personable and humorous doctor. His staff are respectful and kind as well. I was personally satisfied by the results of him closing up my piercing holes, and am returning in the future for a few more procedures.
My father is a retired plastic surgeon and associate professor of plastic surgery at UCSD and needed a little stitching on the side of his ear. He called Barry and Barry met him at the office and took care of the suturing and did such an excellent job that my dad was very impressed with the skills of dr. Handler.
Great Doc, nice and welcoming. Very happy with end results! Would recommend him anytime! Great office staff too!
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.
