From the reviews

I have been under the care of Dr. Marc Soares and Dr. Gina for last eleven months. I am BRC2 positive and I got diagnosed with breast cancer on September of 2021. Because of the circumstances I had to have a double mastectomy. Dr. Marc and Dr. Gina had been taking care of my breast reconstruction.

Dr. Marc Soares is a phenomenal surgeon and an overall phenomenal human. He genuinely cares about his patients, and that comes across in the level of care he provides. I am a very complex patient (I would venture to say, probably one of his most complex), with more medical issues than I can keep track of.

★★★★★ — Theresa, Jun 2023

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Soares and the entire team. From the moment I walked in, everything felt professional, welcoming, and incredibly well run. Dr. Soares took the time to really listen, explain options clearly, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the process.

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.
