From the reviews
Dr. Koch is the best facelift doctor ever. He was so patient and he answered all my questions. He is trustworthy and the one to go to!
Dr Koch is a brilliant surgeon - his background is monumentally impressive. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and exceedingly skilled in a wide variety of cosmetic and other procedures. To top that all off, he is as gentle and kind a person as you could ever hope to meet. His staff are as kind as they are capable.
My daughter summed up the results of my mini-facelift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty when she said, "Now you look like the Mom I see in my mind when I think of you." Dr. Koch does a great job of explaining what he will do and why he chooses that approach. I never felt uninformed or rushed when meeting with Dr. Koch.
Dr. Koch took the time to thoroughly explain the details of the procedure I’m considering and patiently answered all of my questions. His expertise and experience gave me great confidence in his abilities, and I’m certain he will be the doctor I choose once I finalize my schedule.
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.
