What patients say about Dr. Lemelman

"Dr. Ben told me he would change my life. He did that and more. I was scared going in, but he explained every detail of the procedure and I felt completely safe. I could not believe how my stomach looked after surgery — I did not think it was possible for all that skin to be gone. Almost 2 months post-op and I am happier than I have ever been. I love my results so much I would go through it again without hesitation."

"Before my procedure, I consulted MANY surgeons as this was my first time having to undergo surgery and I was a nervous wreck about it. Dr. Lemelman is BY FAR the best medical professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My procedure was an emotional decision and he never made me feel rushed, always taking the time to listen and ask me if I was comfortable before proceeding. He didn't push additional services onto me and helped advocate for me with my insurance (which is not an easy task lol). On surgery day he helped calm my fears and managed expectations— he even took the time to personally call or text in the days following surgery to ensure I was doing well. My surgery went WAY better than I could have ever expected and truly, I owe my new life to him. Every time I look in the mirror and see the (very thin and quickly fading) scar, I am reminded of the new chance at life he was able to bring me through this operation. Despite the pain of surgery, I would do this 100000x over with Dr. Lemelman."
