From the reviews
I’ve have known Dr. Ruebhausen for many years. As a resident, I chose him to do my breast augmentation. He made the process so easy and eased all fears that I had going in to the procedure. The surgery went flawlessly and I love my results. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he is a wonderful and caring person.
Dr. Ruebhausen is amazing! Not only is he a talented surgeon but he is also a caring professional. He patiently answered all questions I had prior to surgery. He advised on ways to save money (bundling 2 procedures to save on anesthesia costs) and checked up on me both the night of my surgery and the next day.
Dr. Ruebhausen literally changed my life! I had abdominoplasty and liposuction on my flanks after having 2 children. To say I am pleased with my results is an understatement. I had lost the baby weight post-pregnancy, but I still felt insecure with my body and extra skin.
Dr. Ruebhausen made my whole experience absolutely wonderful. He is personable, very kind, caring, knowledgeable and accommodating to his patients needs. He values his work and is excellent with bedside manner. He did my tummy tuck, muscle repair and hernia repair after I was finished having kids.
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.
