Welcome to Authentic Plastic Surgery's Before & After Photos page. These are real photos of our clients and their amazing transformations, which have boosted their self-esteem and improved their lives. Doctor Stachowicz is always attentive and honest to his patients and explains in detail what kind of result they can expect.
Blepharoplasty
This is an example of lower lid surgery to correct excessive skin looseness. Other than normal aging process, eye lids can become “excessive” due to other contributing factors such as allergies, genetics, excessive sun exposure etc.
The AFTER picture is approximately 6 months after surgery.
Chin and Neck Liposuction
Chin liposuction is a very effective way to improve the contour of upper neck.
Patients who are too young or do not have sufficient skin laxity to warrant more aggressive surgeries, such as neck lift or facelift, can benefit from this procedure, which is quick and has fairly minimal restrictions during recovery period.​
​
​It is also noticeably less expensive than Kybella, which requires multiple treatments at significant cost.​​
Abdominoplasty
In cases where skin laxity in the torso area is not significantly compromised, and the skin quality does not suffer from extensive stretch marks, and there is no overhanging skin in the lower abdomen- Liposuction is a very good option to improve the waist line area and abdomen area.
This patient also complained, as many do, about skin “rolling” and fullness in the bra area of her flanks - which is both a result of aging, and the fact that skin in that area has additional attachments to the rib cage.
Liposuction is a very nice tool to correct fullness to a significant degree by removing the excessive fat and by causing secondary skin tightening. By breaking down the tethering connections on the side that folding can be dramatically improved.
These pictures are about three months apart.
Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck
This patient is a very classic example of what is routinely called a mommy makeover.
Both improvement in the abdomen area and breast area can bring back the body proportion which was disturbed most commonly with pregnancy and/or with weight gain and weight loss situations both breast augmentation, and or breast lift can often be combined with tummy tuck since recovery process is perfectly safe and restrictions associated with Tummy Tuck supersede the restrictions associated with breast surgery.
In other words, one can recover from both surgeries safely at the same time and there's also a financial benefit when two surgeries are combined.
Our beautiful patient Mandi had breast implants and tummy tuck. Please see her BEFORE and AFTER.
Mandi is thrilled with the results which makes our team very happy!
The tummy tuck involves repair of the muscle layer, stretched out with pregnancy, removal of excessive skin and liposuction of the flank region to improve waist line as needed.

The AFTER photo is just over 4 weeks after surgery so incisions are still very visible as the scars do fade over course of a year plus we do have recommendations for later scar management to make them very faint in the long run.
HAPPY CLIENTS
Dr. Pawel Stachowicz was an amazing plastic surgeon from start to finish. I had a friend who had previous work done by him and highly recommended him. I received a quote from him and one other surgeon recommended to me by my mom and sister for a breast augmentation. Since Dr. Stachowicz did not have the overhead costs similar to the other plastic surgeon and had cut out the middle person, he was able to offer me a lower estimate. After thoroughly researching and weighing my options, I went with Dr. Stachowicz. At one point prior to my surgery, I reached out to him because I was having second thoughts about the surgery in general and in doing it during Covid, he called me right away and calmed all of my fears. I also asked if we could add on some liposuction and he checked right away with the hospital and got back to me quickly. He was available whenever I had a question, including helping me find a place who could do covid testing so my results would be back in time for surgery. On the day of surgery, all of the staff were amazing at Abbott and more than one told me that I was in very good hands with Dr. Stachowicz. One nurse even told me she plans to have a procedure with him as well. The hospital took great care of me during my aftercare and the doctor checked in with me more than once that day. He also told me to call him on his cell phone, day or night with any questions - not just emergencies, but for ANYTHING. Where else can you talk to the surgeon directly with any concerns prior to and after surgery? Now that it is 3 months after my surgery, I can say that I made the best decision in choosing Dr. Stachowicz as my surgeon. My husband and I are SO happy with the results!!
