If you live in Queens, there is a plastic surgeon whose name you may already know from the hospital: Dr. Itay Wiser is Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at Mount Sinai Elmhurst Hospital. His mommy makeover consultations take place at his office on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, a short trip from Elmhurst, or by video so you do not need childcare for a first visit. This page covers the logistics for Queens patients; the procedure itself is explained in the complete guide.
Dr. Wiser's Mount Sinai Elmhurst background
Dr. Wiser is Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at Mount Sinai Elmhurst Hospital, and his years of experience at the hospital shape how he plans surgery. That matters for a mommy makeover in a specific way: combining a tummy tuck with breast surgery is a long operation, and the judgment about whether it is safe to do in one session comes from the standards of hospital practice. Queens families also value that the surgeon planning their care has deep roots in their own community's hospital.
