Lappert Plastic Surgery

I've had two breast reductions with Dr. lappert. My first was at age18 and I was very pleased. After my second reduction at 25, I received a call from a debt collector as Lappert's office had found a charge that was "suppressed" or hidden from my first case at age 18. After speaking with the office, I was informed that the charge was listed on my statement that was mailed to me. Having not known a bill was being added, I did not read my statements and I understand that's my fault but I had no idea I was being billed as no one had notified me prior to the bill being added to my statement. The office manager was nice and allowed my mother to make payments as that charge was from age 18 while I was still on her insurance, although the credit still went against my name. I was also billed, post op, for about $600 in charges that I was not aware of prior but I chalked that up to not digging in and educating myself more on additional charges (though I didn't know they would be accrued). As far as end result, I was extremely displeased with my second reduction. My breasts are uneven, noticeably different sizes, one of my nipples appears to be stitched from the inside but only on the top part and 3 years later, I still have little fat pockets that are left for your breasts to settle into after swelling. I also had these after my first surgery but they went away after about 6 months as he had informed me they would. I'm now unable to wear two piece bathing suites as it looks like I have two miniature breasts under my breasts- no fun jokes there- and my bras are much less comfortable due to this. My mother had spoken with his office about this about a year after the surgery but I was/am too concerned after the unpleasant experience with billing and the poor outcome of my last reduction to chance anymore errors with his office. I will continue to save for a correction with another facility in the future. He was a nice Doctor but it was an unpleasant experience physically and financially to recommend for others.

The office is very nice and looks clean and new. There is a beautiful aquarium in the waiting room instead of a TV which creates a very relaxed and inviting environment. The staff is highly skilled and very nice. There's almost a spa-like feel to it: not at all like your typical doctor's office. I used to go for microdermabrasion to reduce the look of scars. It was awesome. Highly recommended!! PS. He's my dad, so I might be biased!! But I've never seen an unhappy patient.
