Testimonials

"Dr. Hallak was the second Plastic surgeon I consulted after learning that my silicone implants from 1989 were leaking, as well as an unidentified mass in my left breast. The mass could not be reached without further damaging the implants. I had first started having pains 3 or 4 months earlier and was worried about the cause. I was not seeking out a Plastic surgeon for enhancement but rather for the particular knowledge an implant surgeon would have regarding implant removal.

The first Plastic surgeon I was referred to for removal of my implants was pressuring me into having a breast lift and new implants. At the time I was only concerned with removing the leaking implants and finding out about the mass. The surgeon even indicated that he would not want to perform surgery without replacing the implants because I would be unhappy with the results. Even with my husband present with me to assure the doctor we were only interested in a clean removal of the silicone, he kept the pressure on. I didn’t have a good feeling and asked for a second opinion.

Once I met Dr. Hallak, I knew I was in good hands! First and foremost, he was most concerned with my health and well-being. He explained everything and told me what my options were. He told me that considering replacing the implants would be foolish at this time, since they would only interfere with the identification and possible biopsy or removal of the unknown mass.

Dr. Hallak did tell me what results I could expect and if I was unhappy with my new shape that Plastic surgery in the future was always an option, but that we needed to get me healthy first. The office staff handled all questions, appointments, surgery scheduling and all other details with great professionalism and compassion.

Dr. Hallak scheduled surgery ASAP and the surgery went as described with no surprises based on all the information he presented me with prior to the operation. He removed all of the loose silicone and I have two small scars under each breast that have healed beautifully. At the post-op visit Dr. Hallak reminded me to get an appointment for another mammogram and ultrasound and he seemed very concerned that I get that mass diagnosed.

I am very happy with my results and a push-up bra is doing wonders for me right now, though I would definitely trust Dr. Hallak for implant surgery if I decide to go down that road again in the future."

"During my consultation with Dr. Hallak I found him to be very professional as a Plastic surgeon and I felt very comfortable. I left the office feeling confident with choosing him for my breast augmentation. Dr Hallak answered all my questions and allowed me to understand everything about the procedure I had chosen.

He is truly caring, honest, polite and I would recommend him to anyone.

Since my surgery I am proud to say I am a patient of his.

Thank you Dr. Hallak!."
