Whether caused by an accident or by surgery, scars can be unpredictable. The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original injury or on the skills of a surgeon performing the procedure. While no scar can be removed completely, it is possible to improve the appearance of a scar, making it less obvious through the injection or application of certain steroid medications or through surgical procedures known as Scar Revisions.Many scars that appear large and unattractive at first may become less noticeable with time.
Also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, Breast Augmentation surgery involves using implants to enhance the size and shape of a natural breast, either to achieve fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost from weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast Augmentation is a personal decision, and should be done for yourself, not to meet the expectations of others.
UPMC Stofman Plastic Surgery Group provides Breast Lift Procedures to patients from Pittsburgh and the surrounding area. Also referred to as mastopexy, a Breast Lift procedure is generally performed to improve the appearance and shape of drooping or sagging breasts in women who have experienced loss of volume in their breast tissue due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Many factors can affect the appearance of a woman's breast, including age, weight fluctuations, and the physical changes that accompany pregnancy.

I went for a revision rhinoplasty. This man knows noses! In an odd way, he cared more about the nose and the outcome than I did. Already two weeks out I know I got what I wanted and so did he. It's beautiful. Just trust him and talk to him about what you are expecting so you can agree what is right for you. He's just the best.

My wife had skin removal surgery and was supposed to get her belly button removed. He tells her "you get what you pay for!" And "we're going commando with this one!" prior to her surgery. She had fluid build-up in her stomach and was feeling unfit to go home. He rips open her incision and thrusts his fingers in her stomach. A nurse was appalled at what she saw and he tried to do it when no one was watching.
She has had to seek advice from a different doctor. One of the stitches from the operation was left in her stomach protruding from the inside. I had to take a pair of tweezers and remove it myself. This is all true and straight to the point. If you could seek assistance from a different person, I would advise that you do so. This guy is no true professional. The more I ponder how he treated my wife, the more infuriated I get.

I had an orbital blowout three years ago and Dr. Stofman was my surgeon. He is very very nice, and professional. He takes the time to explain everything to you, and I can't say enough about his amazing staff! They are all so nice and welcoming. He's done two surgeries on my eye, and I wouldn't trust anybody else to do what he has. 10/10 recommended!

Dr. Stofman, along with his PA - C Amy, and his nurse Kate, made this appointment amazing. This whole team had top of the line bedside manner, very informative, and made it easy for me to understand my next steps post appointment. I am nothing short of impressed by how Dr. Stofman assessed me, communicated with me, and verbally taught the student alongside him exactly how he drew up his conclusion to diagnosis.
Unfortunately and fortunately for me, no follow up will be needed, however I will be recommending him upon referrals to my patience in the future as the situation would warrant. Thank you to this superstar team for making me feel listened to and comfortable.

I went to Dr. Stofman many, many years ago to perform a keloid scar removal from my lower abdomen due to an ovarian cyst removal. Dr. Stofman is one cool a*$ man. I had to go back to get Kenalog injections directly into the scar immediately after the removal and for a few more months thereafter to prevent it from growing back. Well guess what?, it never grew back!
It was worth every bit of pain. I never knew that was even possible. I was always told that I'd be doomed with keloids forever (hence why I'm a 41 yr old woman and my ears aren't pierced) and once you have them, they can't be removed (not true). If you have keloids and feel the embarrassment of them, please go have a consultation with Dr. Stofman about removal.there is hope afterall. Now that I'm considering a minor form of plastic surgery, I wouldn't dare go to another surgeon other than Dr. Stofman. Much respect Dr. Stofman and Thank you.

Dr. Stofman recently performed carpal tunnel release surgery on my hand two weeks ago. He made me feel very comfortable from the initial office consultation, before the surgery, and at my final visit to remove the stitches. His receptionist, nurse, and office manager were all super friendly and made the unpleasant process of fixing my hand as easy as possible.
The waits in the office were very short. Often it took longer to fight a parking place in the parking garage than to be taken back and cared for in his office. The surgery was performed flawlessly and I am healing up quickly. As soon as my body is ready, he will be repairing my other hand. I highly recommend Dr. Stofman.

Dr. Stofman is a super nice guy (no pun intended!) and is always as timely as possible. My nineteen year old son had a large, threatening growth on his face and Dr. Stofman had a great bedside manor and explained everything very matter of fact yet reassuringly to us. The growth was removed and fortunately my son is healthy, Dr Stofman did a great job of cutting on his face with barely a trace of a scar. I would highly recommend Dr. Stofman.
