Dr Sterry is incredible! He removed a childhood facial scar that I’ve spent countless amounts of money on over the years with other doctors to fix. The scar went from haunting me every time in the mirror to no longer noticeable! I also did cheek and neck liposuction with the Dr that came out amazing. No more moon face! He does an amazing job. His staff is great too!

Best Doc in NYC I had lipo of my abdomen, flanks and lower back with Dr. Sterry 5 years ago. I had paid into the 5 figure range because I wanted to be put to sleep. Let me tell you something about this man and his work...he is HONEST first of all and second NO ONE will know you had anything done. If you are looking for the fake IG look, he's not really your guy. If you want beautiful, natural results that will age well go to him. He won't try to upset you or lie to you at all. If anything he tries to sell you less! His staff is amazing and I'm hoping to have more work with him when I save up some more money!

Update on Laparotomy Scar Revision: I chose the right plastic surgeon I had finally made the move to proceed with my surgery. It was more extensive than I thought than just a hernia repair and abdominal scar revision. I however chose the right plastic surgeon to do it who is Dr. Thomas Sterry. He did the abdominal wall reconstruction and pretty much satisfied with the results. His staff are pretty great too especially Alex. They are so helpful and very polite and respectful.

Oh my! Thanks for the nice review, but this scar is NOT DONE yet! I expect a very nice maturation during the next few months. There is still some swelling and the scar is very red at the moment. Best to get a follow up in 6 or 7 months. Again, Thank You for the kind words! It is my pleasure to take care of you.

I only have great things to say about Dr. Sterry and his skills. I had chin lipo performed about 6 weeks ago and from day 3 after the procedure, I was already so much happier and confident. He is an honest and relatable professional, and did not pressure me in any of my consultations with him. During the procedure, he was communicative and reassuring, easing any anxiety I had at the time. Recovery was a breeze for me. Also huge shoutout to his staff as they are lovely! I don’t trust many doctors, but I would definitely go back to Dr. Sterry.

Dr. Sterry and his staff are beyond AMAZING and professional! He is a true perfectionist and genuinely cares about his patients. He performed a "mommy makeover", two and half weeks later and I am already LOVING it!! If you are contemplating doing it just go for it you wont regret it!! H. Jordan

Dr. Sterry and his staff are extremely kind and professional. He's an amazing plastic surgeon. I have never felt uncomfortable during my visits and consultations. He has never tried to sell me a procedure I wasn't interested in. Dr. Sterry always listens to my questions and concerns and address them.

Dr Sterry is THE cheek and chin lipo doctor Dr Sterry is THE cheek and chin lipo doctor. Let me explain. If you are someone that wants to get rid of lower facial fat, most facial plastic surgeons will very easily consent to doing two things: (1) a lipo of your chin/jaws (aka submental area) and (2) buccal fat pad removal. That's very standard and IMO commoditized procedure nowadays. The jawline lipo will get rid of the double chin (which is great), but the buccal fat pad removal will result in a... pretty mediocre slimming of your lower face... However, Dr Sterry goes ONE STEP FURTHER TO THE ULTIMATE HAT TRICK of including a third procedure: the liposuction of the LOWER CHEEKS. I consulted ENDLESS plastic surgeons - no one will offer to do liposuction your lower cheeks. They do not have the technique nailed down. They are scared of going into facial territory with a cannula. Dr Sterry is the Michelangelo of this technique though, with his micro cannula. Now let me briefly explain aesthetics and cosmetic procedure effectiveness to you. In terms of making your face angular, the ugly lower cheek fat hiding your jawline is undesirable and stripping it away will give you such a beautiful and noticeable definition. You want volume in your upper cheeks, not sagging lower cheeks. The buccal fat pad removal helps but its power is NOTHING in comparison to the liposuction of the lower cheek fat. The amounts of fat that can be extracted with the former are minimal. But with the lipo... wow. All my friends and family think my face looks so beautiful, delicate, defined. My higher cheeks and eyes now really pop and I no longer have a double chin (thanks to chin lipo) nor lower chipmunk cheeks (thanks to cheek lipo) anymore! THe best part is I healed beautifully and gradually, so the inflammation went away over teh course of maybe 2 months so the slimming down even seemed natural weight loss. Ahh! The bliss

I had my first Smart Lipo procedure with Dr. Sterry 6 years ago. I was so happy with the results I went back in 2016 for additional work in other areas. This week I had my 4th procedure and still thrilled with Dr. Sterry and his work. He is a leader in his field and recommend him highly (as my multiple procedures demonstrate, I stand behind my recommendation). He is empathetic, has an exceptional rapport with his patients, and an awesome staff (thanks Alex). I would highly recommend him and happy to provide a reference.

Trust - I really genuinely like Dr. Sterry I really genuinely like Dr. Sterry. Though his office is an upscale Fifth Avenue address, he's calm, tells you his opinion, and is even a bit cheeky. You'll get no pretensions with him nor his lovely staff. Mostly he focuses like a laser beam on your face. He can be blunt about what he thinks you should do. I liked that. I would love to go back for what he originally recommended (even though I'm delighted with what I insisted I needed). That's about it. I trust him.
