From the reviews
Dr. Vallina and I first met when I was the primary advocate for my Mom at middle school age. He did emergency surgery to remove infectious bio-mesh used in a surgical hernia repair from an early 2000s gastric bypass, completed by another surgeon at Lyola.
Dr Vallina was terrific. He explained everything carefully and patiently. He even drew a picture. Hiatal hernia surgery was pretty scary but I felt confident because he is an expert. Honestly I have never felt safer in surgery than with him.
it was wonderful meeting with the doctor. He was very patient and sat and answered our questions. He explained the whole procedure of what he’d be doing. He reassured me that everything is going to work out fine. He’s very easy to talk to, and that’s always an important factor in finding a surgeon.
I was seeing Dr Vallina as a 2nd opinion but was so impressed I switched my surgery over to him. He’s very knowledgeable and a great listener. I now have confidence in the upcoming surgery.
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.
