I lost 160lb through diet and exercise a decade ago and have kept it off. I work out regularly, eat mostly clean and take care of my body and appearance. I went from a size 18 to a size 2. Unfortunately I had ALOT of excess skin that needed to be removed. I saw Dr Larry for a consult (which was free and VERY thorough) and not only did he agree I needed the tummy tuck and diastasis repair (I also had twin boys four years ago) but that I also had alot of excess skin around my hips and buttock area.

I got a lower body lift, abdominoplasty, diastasis repair and liposuction (to smooth out the areas post operatively). My results have been nothing short of amazing! I no longer have a skin curtain and he removed approximately 20lb of skin. He also repaired and tightened my abdominal muscles so I basically have an internal corset. I am now confident to wear a bikini (as my scar is hidden by bikini line) and I am now also confident to wear crop tops and expose my abdomen which I NEVER would before.

Also removing my excess skin has improved my pelvic floor issues as it was tugging down on it, a surprising but wonderful benefit I wasnt expecting. Dr Larry and his staff are so friendly and so accommodating to my needs. I can contact him at any time on his personal cell with any issues or questions and he makes me feel he actually cares about me as a patient and that I am not just a number.

I am very happy to have had him as my surgeon on this final leg of my transformation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for any plastic surgery. If we were staying in hawaii I would go to him for any future needs as well (we are military so we are moving unfortunately). I cant say enough great things about Dr Larry, his staff and his expertise!

I don't even know where to start, I don't even have the words to express how happy I am. Dr Schlesinger took a great deal of time to discuss everything involved with my Tummy tuck with lipo surgery. True to his word I had fantastic results, he is an artist. He performed nothing short of a miracle. I look in the mirror and see someone I haven't seen for a long time.

I no longer have lower back pain and stress incontinence. He truly changed my life. Thank you Dr Schlesinger and staff. Ps: Don't waste your time going to anyone else on this island. You will be more then satisfied with your results.

Dr. Schlesinger performed my mommy makeover that I put off for over 20 years. After children my body had loose skin that neither exercise nor diet could remove. Dr. Schlesinger listens to you and always ensures that all questions and concerns are answered and addressed. I'm beyond happy that I decided to finally get the procedure. Dr. Schlesinger gave me the body I work hard to have. Don't put it off any longer. I finally decided I deserved to look how I feel. You deserve it too!

Dr Schlesinger and his staff at the Mommy Makeover Institute of Hawaii are the very best! They are helpful and create a comfortable atmosphere in the office. Had a scary situation with a lump on my left breast. Dr Schlesinger took the proper steps to ensure my health was the priority. We addressed how I looked outwardly and I am absolutely happy with the outcome!

I found Larry because of a recommendation by my hair dresser. She had her mommy makeover done years prior, and was very happy with her experience and results. When I asked her how she came to her decision, she explained that although there are other great plastic surgeons on the island, Larry was different because he was a perfectionist. When I first met Larry, I wasn't sure what to think.

He seemed a bit quirky, but I could immediately tell that he had a great sense of humor and very intelligent. As I got to know him over time, I realized what a great person he is, and how innovative he is. He's the kind of expert who shares his knowledge by writing articles for medical journals, even though I don't know where he finds the time! His office is always busy and he has a wait for surgeries so be sure to plan ahead.

Those in his office are very pleasant and easy to work with. Most of the nurses I worked with are experts at what they do, very personable and amazing caregivers. My surgery was broken up into three parts because I'm borderline anemic. Because of that, I'm the patient they can't seem to get rid of! But I feel like the lucky one because I love seeing the staff whenever I come in. Larry is all about safety first.

His anesthesiologist (Dr. Judy) is also amazing, as well as his ultrasound tech (Diana) who helps break up the scar tissue after surgery and brings such relief. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who's considering any type of plastic surgery. You'll be in great hands!

I'm currently 5 weeks out after my tummy tuck surgery and I am happy and excited with my results. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Dr. Schlesinger has been such a caring and wonderful surgeon and he genuinely cares for my progress and how I'm doing. I feel so lucky that I get to see him for all my follow up appointments and he is able to answer all my questions. Dr. Schlesinger and his entire staff has been so awesome from my first initial visit and throughout this entire process.

I'm so impressed with my results and outcome that I'll be adding another procedure with Dr. Schlesinger in a few months. If you are looking for a surgeon who is highly skilled and genuinely cares for his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Schlesinger and his staff!

Overall experience was great. Friendly Staff. Liquid nose job / filler success! It was my very first time visiting a plastic surgery/cosmetic clinic. I went in for the liquid rhinoplasty / filler consolation and was able to get the procedure done same day. I was definitely nervous at first. However, the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The office has a calm atmosphere and they have a little lounge/snack area with complimentary snacks/drinks.

For the actual procedure and meeting Dr Schlesinger, the consultation went well and was very simple. He took notes of what I wanted and added in his thoughts along with his professional advice. Procedure went well and I am very happy with my nose! I requested a subtle change but it has vastly improved my side profile just as what I wanted! I had visited since for a follow up appointment and Dr Schlesinger was very pleased and happy with the results.

You can tell he loves doing this! I have done many research on the few clinics and board certified surgeons on O'ahu and Dr Schlesinger always came up on top! Overall, good experience and will definitely be coming back for follow up / touch up appointments! Definitely recommend.

He has everything that you need to help with recovery and is very knowledgeable and caring with my whole journey. The process is smooth and facility is very clean, staff are amazing, and ultrasound with Diana has been very beneficial and helpful with rapid recovery. I appreciate all the support and smooth process and recovery. Mahalo Nui Loa Dr. Schlesinger and Staff! Have a Happy New Year!

I am beyond happy with my results by Dr. Schlesinger and his team! My case was particularly difficult due to my extremely tuberous breasts but he always reassured me that they would turn out beautifully, and they did. I saw him constantly in the weeks following my surgery which really helped me both mentally and physically with my recovery. I always felt that if I had any questions or concerns that someone would be there to help me right away.

The long term care after recovery is something I also really appreciate and makes me feel so much better moving forward. Thank you all so much for your hard work, care and dedication to excellence in my case. Mahalo Nui!

I went in just for a consultation but ended up making my appointment for breast implants. Dr. Schlesinger did not pressure me or rushed my consultation. He took his time answering my questions and concerns. Most importantly I liked how he told me honestly to be realistic but my breasts came out more than what I expected! I'm beyond happy and self esteem is little better. His staff is also AMAZING they treat you like family. From the time you make that first phone call till now their AWESOME!
