NJ/NY Area looking for low cost PS? This is it!!
Hi All:
Like so many of us I looked into plastics and was nothing but discouraged. Insurance would not cover anything, and the consultations and fees I was getting were depressing! I started to do some research and boy am I glad I did!!
What I found was a fellowship program out of NY Eye and Ear Infirmary Hospital in NYC...a well know plastic surgery hospital. Much different than a residency program...these are doctors who choose to do 1 additional year of specialized training. Called and set up a consultation, and my journey began with my wonderful doctor, Dr. Anthony Perkins! From the moment I met him, I knew this was the right move, my husband felt the same way, and he is not a fan of me having PS. We discussed what areas were important to me, and how we would proceed. I met the attending physician whom he worked with, Dr. Wolfeld, a NYC plastic surgeon who was also wonderful.
Anyway, I had my breasts reduced and lifted in October, and in March had a TT and my arms done. I couldn't have asked for more! Excellent results, care and cost! Dr. Perkins goes so far and beyond with his patients. I have also had a little botox for the lines on my forehead, a wonderful result.
Dr. Perkins has finished his fellowship. He is now an attending at the hospital, but has joined a practice in Short Hills, NJ. It is well worth the drive..I live in South Jersey. Since he is starting out in his practice, his rates will be very reasonable. He has a website that I encourage you to check out and contact him...no consultation charge! His website is www.drtonyperkins.com You will be very happy!!! Good luck!!

Congrats on your Plastics........it's great to hear you had a great expereince. I too cannot afford the high cost of plastics, especially with everything I need to have done. I am looking into the New York teaching hospitals too. I will def. be having most of my surgeries done by residents clincs. It is very difficult because they will not tell you prices over the phone and I need to know about how much costs will be before I consent to evaluations/consulatations etc. I have heard of the hospital PS program you mentioned and also Mt. Sinai and Lenox Hill. If you don't mind my asking what were the costs associated with your surgeries? I hreatly appreciate any info you can provide.
Thanks so much,
Kathy

Hi Kathy
I had also checked out the fellowship program at Lenox Hill...did not get a great feeling from the clinic and have since learned that they only do about 10% of the surgeries that NY Eye does..I wouldn't recommend it. The cost for my breasts, TT and arms came to about $10,000...yep, that's it! When I think about the prices I was getting from local plastic surgeons it blows my mind! Like I mentioned, Dr. Perkins is still affiliated with the hospital, but also his own plastic surgery practice, so at this point I would encourage you to at least contact him...he wil tell you what the clinic price would be and what he will charge...you will not be disappointed! I'm already trying to shoot for under my eyes to be done in the Fall. Good luck!

I can highly recommend a new fellow at NYEE, Dr. George Xipoleas. He was the Chief Resident at Mt. Sinai and performed my abdominoplasty & brachioplasty in February. I am very pleased with my results. He transformed my body into "less" than I imagined! He is also among the most caring physicians I have ever encountered. At my first appointment he went over all of my options and was very sensitive to my questions and concerns. His bedside manner is excellent. I am certain anyone else who is fortunate enough to have Dr. Xipoleas perform their plastic surgery will be equally as satisfied.
