Univ of Pittsburgh Division of Plastic Surgery Plastic Surgery Center
Dr. Rubin is an excellend plastic surgeon and devotes most of his time to helping gastric by-pass patient's with body contouring. I had a tummy tuck 7/24/08 and am very satifisfied with the results. I am a new person without all of the extra skin. Two of the best decisions I ever made in my life were gastic bypass and the tummy tuck. I am looking forward to possible arm and thigh lifts in the future.
The results from the surgery from Dr. Rubin was more than I expected. He was not only great to me but to my family as well. He answered my questions and tne questions of my family. Visits to his office were relaxed and professional. All the time that was needed was given to me and I never had the feeling of being rushed. His staff was always curtious and friendly.
How can I describe Dr. Rubin? He is a sculptor. He was able to take this ugly duckling and turn me into a beautiful swan. I will forever think of him when I put on my bikini, look in the mirror and and love the full breasts and the flat abs that I see. At times I still do not believe it is really my body in that mirror.
In 2004 I had gastric bypass surgery and lost 110 lbs. The problem was that my breasts sagged to my belly button and I literally could grab empty skin on my abs and pull it way out. It hung over the waist band of my jeans if I wore jeans that fit properly.
Dr. Rubin performed a breast lift and abdominoplasty with a vertical incision on me in March 2008. It took away all of my extra skin - 3 lbs. literally! My stomach looks like it could belong to a 20 year old. The skin is beautiful and tight. My empty sagging D cup breasts are now perky full C cup breasts. My self image is so much better. I actually wore my bikini in public this summer. I have never done that in my life. I love the way I look. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Rubin is a miracle worker. Life is good!!!!!
Dr. Rubin changed my life. I look and feel 35. (I am 52). I lost 96 with a gastric, but still felt unattractive with all the loose skin. I had a tummy tuck & breast lift w/implants. What a life changing surgery! If you are on the fence about this surgery, do it, I could not be happier with my choice of doctor.
Dr. Rubin and his staff were caring and accessible before, during, and after my surgery. He is unlike other plastic surgeons because he works to restore your body to what it should be, relying on his skill and what best suits your body. I am so happy with the results - it has restored my self esteem.
