Dr. Mark D. Epstein Reviews

On 7/12/2013 I had a Breast Augmentation done by Dr. Epstein . I can say it was a wonderful experience , and I should have done it way sooner !! On and off for years I had researched having it done and wasn't so sure about where to go( i was never impressed with the after results pictures ) along with a little concerned about recovery since I am a very active person . After find Dr.Epstein's web site which is full of information and the possibility of a one day recovery I was ready to meet with him and his staff. I can honestly say Dr. Epstein and his staff are wonderful from start to finish . Everyone is the office are a pleasure to have around and made me very comfortable and are so kind. The afternoon of surgery I was up and about and feeling great . Like one of the other reviews had mentioned I wasn't in pain , it was more of a slight tightness and that was it . Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery and I have had NOTHING but compliments and everyone is amazed how natural and fantastic they look and that my recovery was practically nothing . I am nothing but thrilled with the results and would do it again in a heartbeat . They feel and look very natural . To anyone considering having Dr. Epstein , I would Highly recommend him and his staff to anyone without hesitation . Now at age 42 I have Beautiful Breast !

As an adult of 57 years of age, I had finally decided to get surgery for my ears (Otoplasty). I had always felt self conscious about my ears sticking out and decided it was "better late than never". I chose Dr. Epstein after researching several other surgeons and I can say quite confidently, that I made the right choice. Not only is Dr. Epstein a fabulous surgeon who took his time in explaining the procedure with me in advance, but he also walked me through every step of the way during the actual procedure. In addition, all of his staff were amazing in making me feel comfortable and helping in any way they could. The overall experience was much better than I anticipated and the discomfort only lasted a couple of days following surgery. I feel very good about the way my ears look now and only wish I had done this surgery many years earlier.

I had Breast Augmentation done by Dr. Epstein on May 15th. I am 37 years old, and a mother of 3. After childbirth my breasts went down to nothing. They were like deflated balloons. I always had the desire to get implants but was always so nervous because I never wanted to look fake. I am 5ft and thought that with my height implants might make me look out of proportion. After much research and a recommendation from a friend, I got up enough nerve to set up a consultation. Also, being a mom of 3 kids, what also enticed me to go for a consult with Dr. Epstein is the 24 hour rapid recovery because I don't have time to be out of commission for long. Well all I can say is I am so happy I met with him! I instantly felt comfortable with Dr. Epstein and his staff is wonderful too. Everyone made me feel at ease. I explained to him what I desired and he explained to me that he does everything by body type and measurements for each individual patient. I originally went in wanting the new implants called Gummy Bear implants thinking that's what would be the most natural for me, even though they are substantially more expensive. Dr. Epstein explained to me that due to my tissue being so compromised after childbirth they would not give me the best results. Right there and then I realized that he is not just here to make money, but he's here for me, the patient. I booked the surgery right then and went ahead with his recommendation and am thrilled with my results!! On the day of surgery I was very nervous but Dr. Epstein and his staff was exceptional on keeping me calm. When I woke from surgery I was not bandaged or wrapped at all, which was very surprising to me because everyone I've known who has had this type surgery done in the past somewhere else have always been wrapped like mummies. Before I even left the recovery room I was able to lift my arms above my head and doing arm exercises like instructed. The nurses gave me the Recipe for Rapid Recovery instructions and went over everything with me before I left. I was prescribed 800mg of Ibuprofen for pain, and at first I thought that would not be enough but I have to say it was perfect. There was no need for anything stronger. I can honestly say I never experienced any actual pain from the surgery, what I was experiencing was soreness, like a heavy workout. I actually felt so good that I was able to attend a function at my sons school that same night which meant the world to me. I was back to normal activities a couple of days after surgery including picking up my 2 year old. I am now 3 1/2 weeks post surgery and feel amazing. My soreness eases with every day. The one thing that seemed to bother me the most is the sensitivity coming back as the nerves regenerate themselves. My breasts are extremely sensitive but again with each passing day that also eases. I can walk around proudly and not feel intimidated by either being flat chested or fake looking. I could not have imagined how natural I look without seeing it for myself. Everyone is amazed on my quick, painless recovery and can't believe how great I look. I without a doubt recommend Dr. Epstein for your plastic surgery needs. He is hands down an incredible doctor who knows exactly what he is doing and delivers results beyond compare!!

I've been wanting to do breast augmentation for a long time (for nearly 8 years!) I began my research to find the right plastic surgeon and was aiming for the natural look. I've probably seen hundreds of "before and after pictures" and was rather disappointed with a lot of the results. After months of extensive research, I had my heart set on going to California to get breast augmentation for about a year. I casually found Dr. Epstein on RealSelf and saw he had high reviews. Out of curiosity I checked out his website and it did not take long before I decided I wanted Dr. Epstein to be my doctor. I just had my breast augmentation a week ago and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. The whole experience had exceeded my expectations and it was well worth driving more than 24 hours to get the best of the best results. And on top of that, the speed of recovery has been incredible! My recovery was less than 24 hours, it still blows my mind to think how fast I felt like myself again. I followed the recipe for recovery and took a two hour nap after surgery and went out for a walk in the Port Jefferson area with my boyfriend. He couldn't believe that I had surgery less than 5 hours prior to our walk outside. The pain level was very low, I wouldn't even call it pain, it was more of a tightness. My overall experience starting from when I first contacted Dr. Epstein's office till the day I left after my post-op consultation, was excellent particularly due to the professionalism of each staff I interacted with. Everyone was very nice and welcoming and I felt comfortable throughout my whole experience. Thanks to Dr. Epstein and his amazing staff for making this experience memorable! I would definitely recommend seeing Dr. Epstein. You will not be disappointed!

My name is Yvonne and I am 42 years old. I had gastric bypass in 2009, and not only did I lose a lot of weight I lost my breasts as well. Although I was never large breasted, I now had skin where my breasts once were. A friend of mine who has had surgery done by Dr. Epstein suggested I go for a consultation. Well, that was the best thing I ever did for myself. Dr. Epstein and his staff were all so informative as well as understanding. They never once made me feel like I should be embarrassed or ashamed of the way I looked before or after surgery. On march 20, 2013 I had my breast augmentation and I cannot be happier. I finally fill out my clothes in a way that is flattering and now have somewhat of an hourglass shape. The recovery was incredible to say the least. I followed all of Dr. Epstein's instructions and did not have a single problem. I was truly able to lift my arms over my head after waking up from surgery. I could shower and move around without any problems. The day after surgery I was driving around and was able to complete all errands I normally do. Other than being able to lift more than 20 pounds and not allowed to Zumba for 3 weeks, life was good. Pain was more than manageable with just Ibuprofen and only needed that for the first couple of days. The ladies at my job were shocked that I recovered so quickly and with ease as they have seen other women that had augmentation done y other doctors and they were in severe pain for a long time. Breast augmentation by Dr. Epstein has been nothing but a positive experience and I highly suggest anyone thinking about it to get a consultation. You will be happy you did, and will be wondering why you waited so long to do it. Rapid recovery for his breast augmentation is an understatement!! Recover was truly a breeze and I am very happy with my results. Thank you to Dr. Epstein and his amazing staff. I love that his operating room nurse and anesthesiologist have the best personalities and made me feel completely at ease.

I am 18 years old and since I was a kid, I had been called things such as "dumbo" because my ears stuck out. I had always been too self conscious to even wear my hair up. I eventually decided to fix my ears once and for all and turned straight to Dr. Epstein who had been recommended to us by a friend of my mother's. At my consultation appointment, I had no idea what to expect. Dr. Epstein and his staff made me feel very comfortable and not at all worried that anything would go wrong. On the day of the surgery, I came in very relaxed and ready for the procedure to be done. I was brought into the impressive in-house operating room and the nurses were talking about other things with me to help me feel even more calm. I'm not even sure where this conversation left off because the next thing I knew, I waking up feeling remarkably comfortable. I was only given a sedative and local anesthesia, so the immediate recovery process was extra quick. I was feeling so good by the time I was ready to leave that I even made my parents bring me to IHOP straight from the doctor's office. I came back in two days later to have the big bandage around my head removed and that night after I had cleaned up a little, I looked in the mirror and was really happily surprised at how I looked. I had underestimated how much better I would feel looking at my face with my ears protruding less. My ears are very even looking on both sides now. I was never in a lot of pain following the surgery; I would think of it as more mild discomfort. Exactly a week after the surgery (which was March 20, 2013) I couldn't even feel that anything had happened to my ears anymore unless I touched them. I felt totally comfortable and happy in my own skin and it was a great, much awaited feeling of liberation. Now, two and a half weeks after my surgery, I'm sleeping on my side, riding my horse, and going about life as usual again. This was the best possible outcome that I could have asked for and I'm extremely grateful that Dr. Epstein gave me such a great gift.
