Amazing recovery - my skin is tight and no neck sagging anymore
I am 63, my face and neck were sagging making me feel old. I was unsure of any surgery because of recovery time , pain and scarring .
It's less than 48 hours and I have mild discomfort, little swelling and barely any bruising . Best of all my skin is tight and no neck sagging anymore .

2 weeks post mommy makeover - breast augmentation, lipo & abdominoplasty
The moment I sat down in Dr. Shatkin's office, I knew I was in good hands. I had a full mommy makeover with breast augmentation, liposuction and abdominoplasty. I am still recovering (not yet 2 weeks post op) but so far, it has been a smooth recovery. Better than I expected. And I am already loving my results. He was knowledgeable and listened to what I wanted. He and his team made me feel comfortable and safe through the entire process.

I'm 2 days post op and thrilled with my result - highly recommend
I had my original breast implants (high profile) placed by Dr. Shatkin 14 years ago. After a pregnancy and nursing, I wanted to switch to a moderate profile implant. I flew in from Washington DC to have my implant replacement done by Dr. Shatkin because I had such a good experience with my first surgery. I'm 2 days post op and thrilled with my result. I would highly recommend Dr. Shatkin, his entire team including Kathy and Dr. Berkun are excellent.

Age 63, 4 months post-op facelift & CO2 ablative laser
I had a full face CO2 ablative laser surgery 7 years ago with Dr. Shatkins. The results were nothing short of amazing. My face was as smooth and clear like a babies butt! The downtime was about 2 weeks. Now at 63, it was time to make a decision for a facelift due to muscle laxity. Because this was a major decision, my husband requested I get 3 consultations. I saw two top facial plastic surgeons in my area. They did not do the Co2 ablative, but recommended other procedures separately for wrinkles. The facelift tightens the facial muscles and removes excess skin, but it cannot remove left over wrinkles. My final consultation was with Dr. Shatkins. He listened to my concerns and explained what I could expect. Not only did I want a lift, but I was concerned with wrinkles. I didn't want to come in for additional treatments and didn't mind the longer downtime. Knowing how much I
liked the results of the laser, we decided on a facelift with another CO2 ablative laser for the upper region. I had no pain with the facelift. But I'll be honest, the laser was very uncomfortable. I think
my healing time took longer this time because of my age. But 4 months later, I'm loving the results. His honesty, expertise and bedside manner is what every doctor should strive to be for their patients.

Suggested areas to see better results, such as 11's and crows feet
I've been to a few doctors and PA's for Botox in my forehead. When these injectors placed it in this area it would do what it's suppose to do, relax the muscle and reduce the lines. But for me, I would get a very strong "Dr. Spock" angry eyebrow look. Dr. Shatkins explained why I should NOT treat this area since my frontalis muscle (forehead) is very strong and that is why I got the results I was not looking for. Instead he suggested other areas where I would see better results, such as the 11's (glabellar lines) and crows feet. He always suggest to wait 2 weeks for the effect and come back for any adjustments. I love the results.He is amazing, as well as his staff.

It took me a long time to decide on getting my nose done but I’m glad that when I made the decision that Dr. Shatkin was there to make this process amazingly easy. Thank you!
