Dr. Craig Lehrman Patient Reviews

In November Dr. Lehrman and his magical staff changed my life after losing nearly two hundred pounds along my journey. I'm so grateful I took the leap and scheduled a consultation for skin removal surgery to see what my results of hard work looked like without a bunch of stretched out skin. Every single time I go for an appointment or any communication with the ladies has been so incredibly consistent an...

Sara Steik, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I am beyond amazed at the journey I have had with Athenix, from the office staff, the nurses and Dr. Lehrman and my anesthesiologist. I had surgery yesterday and I was expecting to be in so much pain but I am doing great! The team has kept me informed the entire time and has answered all my questions. I would recommend everyone to this office!

Gia Marie, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

My life was changed by Dr. Lehrman's extended tummy tuck and lipo, which I LOVE. I'm beyond thrilled with my outcome! I never felt hurried or foolish for asking a question because he genuinely took the time to answer them. He did an excellent job, and I have complete faith in him. My belly button is adorable!! The care and attention I received throughout the process made a significant difference in my ov...

Maria Chavez, Google Tummy Tuck, Dr. Lehrman

I’m writing this review because of my extraordinary care & results with Dr. Lehrman. I had an arm lift done & also a breast implant. Their office staff was so friendly & informative with me. I went into the surgeries with full confidence in their abilities & I wasn’t disappointed. They informed me prior to what would be done in my surgeries. I had lost my breasts completely du...

Deborah J Berggren, Google Breast Implant, Arm Lift, Dr. Lehrman

Just want to come on here and provide honest feedback on Dr. Lehrman and his staff. I had a mommy makeover on 1/29/26, which included a tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast lift with augmentation. I am grateful that I chose Athenix! My results although still early in recovery are beyond amazing. Besides great results, they make you feel like you are family. From the front desk, to the MA’s, and al...

Andrea Clink, Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Lehrman

My journey began 4/6/2023 with my gastric sleeve to lose weight. With weight loss came saggy skin. So, long story short, I did 2 consultations. One being with Dr Lehrman on 11/12/2025. I wanted a tummy tuck, liposuction and fat transfer to my butt. One of the things I loved about Dr Lehrman was he looks out for your well being. My tummy tuck was going to be a Fleur de Lis, which is a cut up the middle of...

Yesenia Soberanes, Google Tummy Tuck, Dr. Lehrman

Dr. Lehrman was awesome! I have no complaints. I loved the results of my surgery and during all my pre and post op appointments him and the other staff were attentive and listened to all my questions and concerns. It was overall a great experience and has improved my daily life. So happy!!

Jordyn Hannon, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

Prior to a plastic surgeon, I was treated by him when he was a hand orthopedic surgeon in 2015, when I fractured my wrist, ulna etc. He was super and explained thoroughly pros and cons for surgery.

Linda, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I'm not normally one to leave a review, but I am compelled to do so for Dr. L. and his team. He does beautiful work, has one of the best bedside manners I've ever had, and he genuinely listens, unlike many in his field. His team are always professional and lovely people every encounter. I am happy with this 5-Star surgeon & his 5-Star team! I will be back & I tell everyone how wonderful they are ...

Mary James, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I could not be happier! Dr. Lehrman performed my breast reduction and completely changed my life! By far the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Lehrman!

Emily Curnutte, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

I had my surgery done April 16. Dr. Craig Lehrman is the best doctor! He told me I had nothing to worry about the whole time because we are always nervous about surgeries, but my breasts look amazing. I'm so glad I had the reduction done—I have absolutely no more back, neck, and headaches that I suffered with for years. The whole staff are amazing too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Undina Wall, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

7 days post op from breast reduction, I was referred to Dr. Craig Lehrman and I am pretty impressed and very satisfied with my results. He was very professional and confident and I recommend him for sure.

Destiny, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

From the very first consult to my 3 week post appointment I have never felt so validated. I had a mommy makeover with a different surgeon about three years ago and had complications with my breast implants. The previous surgeon made me feel like I was unimportant and the issue had everything to do with me doing something wrong rather than wanting to step up and give options help. Dr. Lehrman and his crew...

Lauri Frey, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I had excess skin removal surgery with Dr. Lehrman and my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the consultation, he was thorough, honest, and made me feel completely comfortable. He explained the procedure clearly, set realistic expectations, and really took the time to answer all of my questions.

The day of surgery and recovery process were much smoother than I anticipa...

Monica Munos, Google Body Lift, Dr. Lehrman

Dr.Lehrman and staff are Wonderful! From my first visit the staff were all amazing! My mommy makeover and 360 went great! I am loving my results. I am 6 weeks post surgery and I'm doing really good. I was able to return to work 2 weeks (desk job) with no problems. I am 58 years old and was worried how recovery would be and it has been great. I would recommend Dr.Lehrman 100%. He did amazing work and is v...

Maggie Leatty, Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Lehrman

Dr Lehrman and his staff are beyond AMAZING!!! From the first consultation, to the surgery and post operative care they do such a great job and have fantastic bedside manner.

Nicole Waldron, Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Lehrman

Choosing to have a revision for my tummy tuck and breast lift was a very personal decision, and I’m so thankful I trusted Dr. Lehrman. From the very first visit, he truly listened to my concerns and made me feel seen, heard, and respected. That meant everything to me.

He did a phenomenal job — my incisions are thin, beautiful, and healing so well. My recovery has been smooth and exactl...

How much does a tummy tuck cost in Scottsdale?

Tummy tuck pricing in the Scottsdale area typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000. Because Dr. Lehrman customizes every procedure to match your unique anatomy and goals, your exact cost will depend on your specific surgical plan, facility fees, and anesthesia. We will provide you with a transparent, detailed quote during your private consultation.

What is AAAHC accreditation and why does it matter?

AAAHC stands for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. It is an independent organization that strictly evaluates outpatient surgical facilities. Earning this accreditation means our Scottsdale center has passed rigorous inspections for patient safety, infection control, and medical protocols. It matters because it guarantees you are receiving care in a facility that meets or exceeds the safety standards of a premier hospital.

How long is the recovery from liposuction in Scottsdale?

Recovery varies based on your customized treatment plan, but most of our liposuction patients are ready to return to work within one to two weeks. You can expect some mild swelling and bruising initially. Dr. Lehrman and our clinical team will provide you with a specialized compression garment to support your new contours as your body heals, with your final, refined results settling in over the following months.

What is the difference between a mommy makeover and a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is a single procedure dedicated specifically to removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles. A mommy makeover is a comprehensive, customized combination of surgeries designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body all at once. While it almost always includes a tummy tuck, Dr. Lehrman typically combines it with breast enhancement (such as a lift or augmentation) and liposuction during the exact same operation.
