From the reviews
I am a breast cancer survivor and I just want to say that Dr. Griffin is an amazing plastic surgeon. Wonderful in the office and great bed side manner at the hospital. Made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease prior to surgery.
Dr. Griffin is one of the best Doctors I have ever experienced. He not only explains everything in detail so you understand completely and he LISTENS to your concerns, and answers your questions.
Dr G is an amazing surgeon! He listened to everything i wanted and helped me achieve amazing results that i could never have dreamed of being my reality. (Added 12/07/19 ) Still Happy Healthy and Loving life! This mans honesty, advice, and skill literally changed my life. I am forever grateful. Happy Holidays Dr G!
I had plastic surgery performed by Dr. Griffin to close a wound which had remained open for almost four months after emergency surgery that saved my life in November 2017. From the moment I met Dr. Griffin, I felt completely at ease, and believed that I was in the most capable hands possible.
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.
