He is one the best surgeons you will ever meet! His integrity is unmatched. His skills are incomparable. I had a breast augmentation, and they look and feel so natural! He is truly amazing! I would recommend him to anyone looking to have any plastic surgery work done!

I am a current patient of Dr. Sutkin. I had the best experiance I could of hoped for. I reciently had a face/neck lift done in Nov. 2008 by Dr. Sutkin and my results have turned out amazingly. I origionaly went to my consultation unsure about the whole plastic surgery thing, but knew I had to do something. As soon as I meet with the Dr. he went over a realistic outcome and a few other suggestions. I ended up signing up with him the day of my consult and havent regreted it one bit. At first recovery was somewhat sore, to be expected, with slight brusing. But after a week or so the brusing was gone and I was on my way to a smooth recovery. Its been 2 months now and im a completly satisfied with my results. I would recommend Dr. Sutkin to anyone including close friends and family who were thinking of a touch up on life! Trust me you'd be making a great choice. I know I have.

I have been reading some of the reviews and im wondering if we all went to the same DR. I have been a patient of Dr. Howard Sukin for a few years now and in that time he has performed a couple of different procedures on me. I have had a Breast Augmentation back in 2005, a Rhinoplasty also in 2005, a Tummy Tuck in 2006, and a bit of Liposuction on various parts of my body just a couple of months ago. When I first desided to become a patient of Dr. Sutkin's I asked for before and after pictures which were provided to me at a seperate consultation appointment as well as the option to speak with other patients whom had had the same procedures. Based on those pictures, my conversations with other patients and the knowledge the doctor had on all the various procedures I desided he was the surgeon for my needs. I am extremly happy with my results and would recommend Dr. Sutkin to all of my frineds and family who were considering plastic surgery.

I referred a close friend because this doctor sounded so sure of himself. She is so disappointed that she did not even want to talk to him after her stitches were out! He kept telling her how "good" she looks ... contrary to the reality. His credentials checked out OK but skills "poor". After reviewing this web site, I have found similar complaints about this doctor. She also felt like she overpaid for what she got. Now I feel bad too!!

Dr. Sutking did a nose job for me in 2005. I thought I had done all my homework by getting surtified doctors. My nose job was terrible, I still have a bump on my nose. He said he would fix it and not charge me. However if I need to do extra work he said I need to pay an additional $3000. I'm so upset that he wants me to pay extra for something that he needed to fix the first time around. Don't go see him unless you want to take the risk.

RED FLAG - He performed five (5) procedures in 3 1/2 hours!!!! I had tummy tuck and lipo in 4 other areas. Ask any other doctor if this is possible and still get good results. I was so excited to finally be able to afford a tummy tuck and liposuction and I've been saving for 5 years and he seemed so caring and sincere that I ignored the red flags. I survived the procedure but the results were nowhere near the expectation he set prior to the surgery

Don’t let his mild manner, sweet charm fool you. Before you decide, ask for a BEFORE and AFTER photo of his work. You'll find he doesn't have any. He'll tell you its because he believes this is a very "personal" matter. Its really because he doesn't want you to see his work! He's competent enough but he doesn't care about the final outcome, meaning HOW IT LOOKS. I’m a very young 40+ with 3 grown kids. I’ve been working out and just needed to get rid of the excess skin so I can wear my bikini again and I told Dr. Sutkin that this was my main goal and I even wore my bikini on the day of surgery. He assured me I was a perfect candidate & shouldn’t be a problem. He said “surgery is like art to him” - well I guess he’s not a very good artist. He made the abdominal cut so high (the old fashion way) and in a weird wave-like slice that there is no way I can hide the scar. Worse thing is when i expressed my concern, HE DIDN'T CARE. Why should he when I paid $12000 cash!

I went to him for a belepharaplasty, based on the recommendation of a co-worker. He was adamant about cutting the muscle, although 2 other doctors told me that such would not be necessary. Good bedside manner, polite and genial during preliminary office appintments. One eye turned out all right, the other didn't look good while healing. The bags under my eyes are better now, but my eyes are asymmetrical, and the white under one iris is visible. He seemed a little brusque during the follow-up appointments, especially when I expressed concern about the way the one eye was healing and seemed pulled down. I probably would not go back to him or recommend him.

Dr. Sutkin performed liposuction on me, March 1st, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He patiently answered every question I had, going into great detail when I required more info. He set realistic expectations on pain and recovery time. He did everything possible to ease my doubts, and then went through the whole process all over again when I brought my mother in to size him up. I even asked him if we should go one step further, and do a thigh lift while we were at it. He refused me. He said that the good done would not justify the expense. But what won me over, beccause he certainly wasn't the cheapest doctor I consulted, was that he volunteers his services to people who genuinely need his expertise as a reconstructive surgon, but could never begin to pay him. I find that commendable and rare in such a superficial field.
