This review is long overdue. I had a full tummy tuck in July 2018 with Dr. Guarino and he did a fantastic job. He is kind and has great bedside manner and I felt comfortable with him from the very beginning. I had a very fast recovery and no complications. After two pregnancies, I had significant abdominal separation and excess skin. I am 5'1" and at one point, I went down to 110lbs and my belly was still there. I was always trying to find a way to hide my belly with my clothes and putting my hands over by belly when I sat down. For the first time in 17 yrs., I wore a bikini this summer (1yr post op) and finally felt comfortable in my own skin. Having this surgery was the best investment I have made on myself. My belly looks better than I could have ever expected. I highly recommend Dr. Guarino and he will always be my go to plastic surgeon. Thank you Dr Guarino! More

Dr Guarino gave me a tummy tuck on 9/20/21 I woke up from surgery with little to no pain. Two days later I was able to remove my faja and bandages to shower. While assisting me to remove my garments my husband’s mouth dropped. I looked at him and asked him what’s wrong? He replied it look like if he cut off your stomach and put a twenty year old person’s stomach on you! The results are amazing and its only day three post op . Dr Guarino changed my life he gave me so much confidence after having 5 children I was Insecure about my stomach. Now I feel amazing thank you so much Dr. Guarino and his staff for bringing my confidence back and making me feel beautiful again! You are the best plastic surgeon in the world!! More

Best Decision I Ever Made - I did the surgery for me after raising my kids so this was a treat to myself. Dr Guarino did my tummy tuck last year it was such a success I decided to get my breast done this year. I’m only 2 days after surgery and I’m doing really good as far as pain and getting around. I must have a really high pain tolerance since I’m only sore and decides not to take any pain meds since they make me nauseous. If I could give him 20 stars I would. He is so caring and amazing at what he does his work speaks for itself. Updated on 1 Mar 2020: Updated Before pics was not previously inserted. So I inserted the before and after pics. I’m only 3 days out of my augmentation and I’m doing really well. I’m able to shower on my own cook and clean. I get tired easily but other wise I’m doing well without being on any pain meds since they make me sick. I’m able to comfortably do my breast massages as well they are painful but we must do our massages all day if possible. More

He and his staff were wonderful and made me very comfortable and took time to answer any questions. I just had that warm fuzzy feeling. This was the second surgery with him.

Just wonderful. - After 3 pregnancies and years of weight gain and loss I finally did something for myself and got my tummy tuck! Dr.Guarino and his entire staff were a pleasure to work with. He was professional and very friendly. I went to a few consults and the doctors were quick in and out and simply looked over me. Dr.Guarino was pinching and squeezing trying to get a good idea of what kind of results I could expect. The office was able to get me in quickly. I had my consult Dec 23rd and had my tummy tuck with flank lipo done February 12th. Dr.Guarino prefers his tummy tuck patients stay in the hospital over night. At first I was reluctant but in the end I was glad I stayed. My recovery went way better then I imagined it would and I believe that has everything to do with the way Dr.Guarino works. I had my drains out day 5 and stitches out Day 10! My incision is slightly on the higher side and longer, but this was done to achieve a better contour. I asked about possibly bringing my waist in as I feel I’m very boxy and he was able to do that by taking my scar “higher” and longer. My belly button is adorable! For the first time in my life I feel comfortable in my own skin. I can’t say enough good things about this man. You can tell he really cares about your results. And although price certainly isn’t the only reason I chose Dr.Guarino, I will say his price can’t be beat. A doctor a few towns over wanted to charge me 12,000. NOT including an overnight stay in the hospital. And not including any lipo. Dr.Guarino charged 7100 and I stayed over night and he did lipo on my flanks. I would recommend him to anyone. I would do it 100x over again. More

Dr. Guarino and his entire staff are amazing! I was extremely nervous about having a major surgery done (tummy tuck+) after my major weight loss, but I felt extremely comfortable with him & his staff who answered all my questions. And the even better is the "after". He did an amazing job at giving me a trim waistline with a flat tummy without all that gross saggy skin. Him & his team not only physically helped me but mentally as I feel so much better about how I look! I HIGHLY recommend him!! More

Tummy Tuck/Body Lift/Lipo of Bra Rolls with Dr. Guarino! - Allentown, PA - I had a consultation with Dr. Guarino on 4/14. I initially just wanted a tummy tuck and the fat rolls removed from my back. He suggested a body lift to get the look I wanted. The tt is 6000.00 the bl is 8000.00. Dr. G. offered a 10% discount on his fee if paying with cash. I also like the idea of the overnight hospital stay. Just an added bit of security for me. I have thought about having this procedure for years but the idea of looking like I have been cut in half was not appealing. At this point I don't care anymore. I plan to have get a tattoo to cover the scar eventually. More

36 Yr Old, mother of 3, Full Tummy Tuck with Liposuction and Muscle Repair - Allentown, PA - I first saw Dr. Guarino in 2007 for a breast lift, I was very happy with my experience and so when I decided to have breast augmentation in May 2015 I decided to use Dr. Guarino again. At that time I also consulted about liposuction on my abdomen and flanks. Dr. Guarino advised that with the amount of loose skin I had that lipo wouldn't give me the results I desired and in fact would probably leave me more dissatisfied with my stomach bc it would be wrinkly. At that time he said he thought I looked great the way I was and didn't think I needed to do anything to my stomach so I opted to just do the breast aug. I was very impressed with his honesty, he could have done the lipo and taken my money but that is not his style. Fast forward to summer and I was very self conscious about my mid section every time I wore a bathing suit. I decided that was the last summer I was going to feel bad about myself so I decided to go for the TT. Dr. Guarino and his staff have been so supportive throughout all my procedures and have never once pushed me to do any procedure. I had more than enough skin to do a full TT and muscle repair with lipo and I am so happy I did. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends and in fact already have. He has done a breast aug on my good friend and will be doing some work on my mom in the near future. That's how much I trust Dr. Guarino and his staff. More

Tummy Tuck 360 - Allentown, PA - Dr. Guarino is amazing From the start of my first appointment, Dr. Guarino made me feel very comfortable and at ease with the initial exam. Throughout the entire process, pre-op, post-op and recovery he always made himself available to me and made sure that I was well taken care of and comfortable. He was very attentive while consulting with me and was never distracted or in a rush to get out of the room like most drs. His attention to detail and his desire for perfection goes beyond words. He is truly one of the most caring doctors that I have ever met, so much that he makes you feel like part of his family i will add photos later today. More

41 Years Old 3 Kids Had Tummy Tuck Now Having Breast Lift and Saline Implants - Allentown, PA - Hello everyone! I have always wanted breast implants but always put that to the side. My husband and I talked about it over a year ago. He gave me the option to have a tummy tuck or breast implants last February of 2013. I choose tummy tuck! I love my tummy tuck and I love my doctor!! I went for a consultation with Dr. Guarino on March 3rd. We went over my options and the outcome was he wouldn't suggest breast implants without a breast lift. We had a feeling I needed the lift but I was hoping otherwise. I was concerned that having a lift I would loose my feeling of my nipples. Dr. Guarino said there is a chance but not a high chance of that because they don't cut any nerves. We ended up signing the papers and getting a surgery date of March 24th at the end of our consultation. We agreed upon using High profile Natrelle saline implants. I am currently a size 36B. Would like to be a size 36D. We are gonna get 430cc in each breast at this time. He said during the operation he will fill the implants to the max. I brought home all the paperwork that tells me what to do and not do.I'm not gonna tell everyone about this operation this time around until afterwards. I have told two of my friends only because they had implants done. I like to be able to talk to them about my chooses and concerns. This is why I love real self for all the great info and suggestions. I'm so excited!! More

Best experience ever!!!!! - For many years i have been contemplating Lipo Laser or Tummy Tuck. Finally I made a decision and came to Dr. Guarino because he had such great reviews. Well let me tell you I had the best experience ever!!!!! From the very first phone call, ton the OR and follow-up appointments.Today was my second post- op appointment for" my beautiful new belly button stitch removal". He is WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Dr. Guarino answered every question I had he was lovely to talk to. His artistic sculpting skills sharp and superb. My incision although only 2 weeks post-op is very clean, very thin, very beautiful. At first I almost rejected the tummy tuck because of the scar the incision would make. I actually preferred Lipo Laser to the Tummy Tuck.He explained the pro and the cons of Lipo Laser and explained I was a better candidate for a complete tummy tuck! He explained every procedure to my understanding. I made my mind up and had my Tummy Tuck and Lipo Laser soon after. Thank you Dr. Guarino for a job so well done. I love my new curves and 6 pack lolol. So happy very satisfied and I look better beyond what i thought I would.. Flat tummy small waistline minimal scarring and best of all close to nothing stretchmarks Yeeee haaaaw!!!. By the way very affordable as well... I highly recommend him. More

It's been a year! (Tummy Tuck/Lower Body Lift, PA) - I asked 2 of Dr. Guarino's patients about him prior to scheduling my consult. Both had wonderful things ti say about him. I was leery at first because he does not have a fancy website like many of the other doctors whom I was considering. However, on all physician review sites online he received 5 stars across the board from all reviews.I was immediately comfortable in his office and felt like he spent an adequate amount of time with me... answering my questions and making sure I was comfortable. I left his office knowing that I wanted him to be my surgeon. More
