Very pleased with Dr. Beckenstein and his nurses. He is the best and his nurses is very knowledgeable about how he works!! I would not go anywhere else. As a matter of fact… I’m paying for my daughter to have a breast reduction surgery in a couple of weeks. I only want the best for her as well.

★★★★★ — Robbie, Feb 2026

Five stars is not enough. Dr. Beckenstein’s skill is borderline sorcery. I found this practice while searching for a a surgeon that accepted insurance. I had spent years with backaches, trouble finding bras, bathing suits, etc due to large breasts. I spent an equal amount of time looking for a surgeon.

★★★★★ — Ja'Kendria, Nov 2025

My mom's experience at Dr. Beckenstein's office has been very professional and most importantly compassionate. She had cancer and a double mastectomy w/reconstruction ten years ago with another doctor. She had a negative experience and was very apprehensive but wanted to discuss explant surgery. Dr.

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.
