Monte Schwartz, M.D. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Schwartz as my surgeon. He is confident, knowledgeable and caring and I highly recommend him. I only saw him once before surgery and didn’t have many questions because I’d done so much research on this. My surgery happened within 10 days of seeing him (I was self-pay and was able to get the tests done quickly). He has a structured aftercare program, which I like. I feel better knowing what I’m supposed to do each day. It takes the guess-work out of things for me. His office staff is friendly, caring and efficient. I liked them. They made me feel welcome from the moment I called to make an appointment. And Karen, his nurse coordinator . . . phenomenal. Very caring, friendly and knowledgeable. I love her!
Plastic Surgery Pics Posted for Friends I've posted before and after pics of my plastic surgery for friends. If you want to see my pictures, please request to be added and I'll set it up. I just don't want these pics of me hanging out in cyberspace for anyone to see, but I know it was helpful to see before and afters of other people when I was researching. I also found it useful to compare mine to others to make sure mine looked like it should.
I'm still healing nicely and only have a few scabs left at 5 weeks out. I'm really starting to feel like my old self and can even see the muscles below the skin, which excites me. I still haven't replaced my pants, though the ones I'm wearing are loose and I get some teasing about that from friends. I want to wait a few more weeks at least to make sure I don't go down in size.
I'm very happy with my plastic surgery and thrilled with the job my surgeon did.
