Chin/Neck SmartLipo + Buccal Fat Removal (At separate occasions) Dr. Sterry and his team are amazing! Not only are they incredibly sweet and caring but they are amazing at what they do. I went to Dr. Sterry for two separate cases (Chin/Neck liposuction and buccal fat removal). The CHIN/NECK LIPO was my first ever procedure so I was really nervous. I wasn't sure what to expect, how painful it'd be, and how my recovery would feel. After my first consultation I knew Dr. Sterry was the right doctor because he listened to all my needs and explained to me what was and wasn't possible. He gave me really realistic expectations and I felt really safe in his hands. The day of my procedure was SUPER quick and easy! It was a strange feeling but I felt no pain whatsoever. Recover was also very pain free, only some soreness. I could see my results almost immediately and I felt even better about it knowing I was still incredibly swollen! It's been almost a little over 3 months and I could NOT be happier!!! I look so much more elegant and I don't look as heavy as I used to. I went in yesterday for my BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL consultation and I was so happy because his staff had called me prior letting me know that there was an opening to do the procedure the same day because they knew I was on a tight schedule. It felt really nice to know that they had my needs in mind. 🙂 Of course I took up the offer and the procedure was just as easy as my neck lipo. It was a little more uncomfortable because it is more invasive (inside the mouth), but I have minimal swelling and will be going back to school and work tomorrow. Immediately after the procedure we were all talking about how we could already see a difference in my contour and I was amazed once again by Dr. Sterry's skills. Honestly, Dr. Sterry is an amazing doctor. He cares for his patients and he's a perfectionist. I actually enjoy the 1 hour travel to go into his office because I love them all so much~ Can't go wrong with him. All it takes is 1 consultation to know he's the right doctor for you. 🙂

Dr. Sterry is one of the best doctors who I have ever met. He is personable, kind, and more importantly he is excellent plastic surgeon. Dr. Sterry performed two scar revision surgeries for me the last few months, and the results were beyond my expectations. I am very grateful that I found him as my plastic surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Sterry for anyone who is looking for a plastic surgeon.

Within the course of four months Dr. Sterry perfomed both a lower body lift and an upper body lift, all necessitated by massive weight loss of 185 pounds due to prior bariatric surgery and all the hanging skin that came with that success. The surgical results were outstanding and-- equally important-- the level of attention, care, and empathy both before and after the procedures was extraordinary. I consulted directly with four plastic and reconstructive surgeons before selecting Dr. Sterry, especially since my insurance was not going to cover anything, and I selected him not only because of his obvious and proven expertise but because of his approachability, honesty, and humanity. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience with this office! After hours and hours of researching plastic surgeons, reading biographies, looking at before and after photos, my husband chose Dr. Sterry and surprised me with a visit to his office!! I was ecstatic! This was something I really wanted and was thrilled that my husband took the time to find someone so talented! During my initial consult I was introduced to Michelle, Alex and Stephanie who are as wonderful as they are knowledgeable! They make you feel very comfortable in the office, and are excellent at taking care of all details for pre and post procedures. I was then introduced to Dr. Sterry and immediately knew I was in good hands! In addition to being an extremely skilled surgeon who is highly regarded in his field, he has a wonderful bedside manner! Dr. Sterry is very approachable and easy to talk to, which was a huge relief to me! I asked him a ton of questions and he took the time to explain all of the answers to me. Although he has done thousands of procedures, it became obvious that he treats each patient uniquely. He asked me questions about my activities, my lifestyle, how I like to wear my hair etc., and then gave the recommendations we asked for. I loved everything he said and was excited to get started! Alex and Stephanie took care of everything and made all of the arrangements for my procedures. The day of, I have to admit I was a bit nervous but after talking with Dr. Sterry I felt very comfortable. The procedures went phenomenal and I had my post operation appointment in his office the next morning. Dr. Sterry cleared me to go home and scheduled a follow up appointment in five days. This is one of the many things that make him so great! He really cares about his patients and the outcome of his work! He had me come in for regular "check ups" every few weeks to make sure everything was healing correctly. He has an incredible attention to detail and luckily for us he is a perfectionist, so rest assured, things will heal perfectly! It has been almost a year since my initial consult with him and I am thrilled with the outcome! The changes in my appearance look very natural and I feel great! He did a phenomenal job! If you are researching surgeons like we did, look no further! I highly recommend Dr. Sterry!

There are not enough words to express the high regard I have for Dr Sterry and his lovely team. I have had a few procedures over the last 5 years and every time I have been delighted with the results. His office is a warm, friendly and inviting place to be with welcoming and professional staff. Dr Sterry himself is a fabulous surgeon who takes his time to listen and discuss all the various options and make you feel entirely at ease. I recommend him to everyone and wouldn't consider going to anyone else.

Amazing, Positive Transformation - Well Exceeded Expectations! I could not be happier with the result of my neck/chin lipo! Dr. Sterry under-promised and over-delivered! I had been unhappy and self-conscious about what looked like droopy jowls and a froggy profile before the procedure, which made me feel and look old and made me delete every picture of myself. Dr. Sterry said he could not promise I would get the look I sought, but three months later, I am delighted! My jowls are gone, no more double chin, and my neck and profile look like they did 10 or more years ago. I am so happy with my photos now! The procedure itself was painless, and the recovery was fast and no big deal at all. Plus Dr. Sterry is such a lovely person, and his staff are also so nice and helpful. I highly, highly recommend!!

Such a nice guy! I couldn't believe he and his staff her so helpful and friendly. It's not a typical doctor to patient relationship when you go there, it's more like visiting friends and trying to figure out how to decorate your house. Plus, I got a fantastic tummy tuck! I didn't realize until after the operation that he was so OCD about his results. A true perfectionist!

Dr. Sterry and his team are amazing they were so genuine and made me feel so comfortable. They were really kind people who actually care about your experience rather than just doing it to get paid. They care about their patients and are amazing. An amazing doctor to go see.

"There Isn't a Tummy I Can't Tuck." Those were his words to my husband the day of my procedure lol. A little about me: I'm 41, petite (5'2) and on the thin side (about 100lb). I have two kids (ages 5 and 9). I had abdominal liposuction but with suboptimal results as it only made my skin loose and did nothing for my diastasis rectus. Even though I looked pretty good with clothes on, I felt self-conscious and wanted to do something about it! I researched about tummy tucks for over two years and it took about that long to convince my husband that it was the right decision for me/us. I consulted with three other surgeons before choosing Dr. Sterry. I was looking for a surgeon who was excellent with belly buttons, had an eye for placement of incision, and had loads of experience performing this procedure on all sizes of women. The TT photos on Dr. Sterry's before and after gallery were those I could relate to the most. Also, I kept going back to his gallery and staring at those tummies with awe. I just think his work is very natural. Rumor has it that he will not stop with that belly button until he is satisfied. Anyway, after my initial consult, they were moving offices and I was sort of forgotten about. However, Dr. Sterry personally called me and offered his apologies, which I very much appreciated. I am now 3.5 months post op and I'm very happy with my results. I'll summarize the months for those of you who are interested and considering doing this: 1st month: First three days were the hardest. Not having a BM (despite of taking a stool softener before and after the procedure) was worse than the actual discomfort from the procedure. I stopped the heavy-duty meds after three days and switched to Ibuprofen. Hunched and with back pain and urges to stretch my legs probably marks the first three weeks. Oh and I developed a seroma after drain came out (day 8). I had to go in at least three times to have Dr. Sterry drain it. Of course I worried about it but he didn't seem to be too concerned and assured me that my body will eventually absorb the fluid on its own, which it did. 2nd month: I started standing up straight around this time. Swelling persisted, especially in the upper abs, which I found a bit unusual and of course worried about this as well, but again, Dr. Sterry assured me that I was healing just fine. Everyone is different and for some reason, my upper abs seem to be taking it the hardest. I also stopped wearing the compression garment around week 6. Cleared for exercise too. 3rd month: Here we are! I feel good. Still some tenderness and tightness in the upper abs. Still some swelling there especially towards the end of the day, but not as much as before. Belly button looks good. Scar is slowly fading. I'm using Biocroneum (at least once a day) right after I massage the scar for about a minute. I'm very happy that I did this and I'm very happy that I chose Dr. Sterry to perform my tummy tuck. He's meticulous, professional, honest and a superb surgeon. I am posting some photos of me 3.5 months post op and I will also post some more at my 6 month mark. Good luck to all of you RS ladies and gents who are considering doing this procedure! I don't know why one is upside down. Sorry! Hi everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update. All is well here. Not much has changed. Back to working out and incorporating crunches. Scar is fading. Still some tenderness in the upper abdominal area. It's amazing how long it takes to completely heal. Our tummy takes a beating!
