From the reviews

Dr. Critelli and Mrs. Kourtney gave me such a wonderful experience. They tried to help me work with my insurance but was denied. They offered a reasonable self pay option since insurance denied to cover me. From the start of planning Kourtney answered all my questions and concerns. Before surgery Dr.

After another surgeon removed a large tumor from my left breast, she had Dr. Critelli come in to give me symmetry so I got a lift and some reduction as well to achieve that. He did a great job and I am very happy with the results. The entire surgery and recovery was easier than I had anticipated as a 70 yr. old.

★★★★★ — Wendy, Aug 2024

I’m 2 weeks post operation for my breast reduction and lift! I’m so pleased with results! Dr. Critelli has done a wonderful job! Even with the mild swelling they look great so I no they will be perfect! He is definitely a protectionist and it really shows through his work!

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Aug 2023

Dr Critelli is a great surgeon. My pain level has been minimal and my reconstruction is looking great. I had a bilateral masectomy and I was very anxious . Dr. Critelli and his staff are all very kind and very supportive. UPDATE … I have finished my reconstruction with Dr. Critelli.

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.
