Breast implant removal - very comfortable and accommodating - Dr. Black is an excellent Plastic Surgeon. Her intentionality to listen and discuss thoroughly all of my concerns and questions was my deciding factor in choosing her. She took the time to hear me and share with me pictures, details and procedures thoroughly. I felt confident I was making the right decision. My surgery was scheduled quickly and the surgery center was very comfortable and accommodating. Great staff who communicated all details thoroughly and I was able to speak with her in person outside of office hours regarding any questions/concerns. I am thankful for my experience and my health and recovery. More

Breast Implant Removal - Dr. Black performed my breast ex-plant surgery. I cannot say enough good things about her & her staff & the surgery center where she performs her surgeries. ALL TOP NOTCH! I went in because my implants were hard & encapsulated. I was having some breast pain & had rashes that would come & go in my breast & abdomen area. I had a few other symptoms but really wasn't sure if they were related to my implants. My main issue was the extreme hardness & pain. She thoroughly examined me & decided I needed both capsules removed & sent to pathology for review after removal. I was on board with this decision & was more than confident she would do the best job out of any other surgeons I had looked into. After ex-plant & full capsulectomy my pathology came back with a rare cancer found in the capsule that surrounded one of my implants. Before my follow up appt. Dr. Black had contacted a physician at MD Anderson who is an expert in the type of cancer I was diagnosed with. She put me in touch with him & I went to see him 2 weeks later. I am happy to report I am cancer free but if it were not for Dr. Black removing the entire capsule I don't know what my outcome would have been. She did such an amazing job meticulously ensuring everything was removed. I am forever grateful for her skills & I highly recommend her as a surgeon. My incisions look beautiful as do my new natural breasts! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me!!! More

Breast Augmentation with 325 Cc Moderate Plus Gel Implants over the Muscle - I went in to see dr black and explained after 2 kids I wanted my breast to be fuller. I had a good bit of loose skin and most of my breast tissue was just sitting at the bottom. He said that going over the muscle would give the look I wanted and I wouldn’t have that weird look when my chest was flexed. We then tried on a few different CCs and I ended up liking 325 the best. I had mu surgery on Monday and it went great. I was under for about 30 minutes. Recovery has been pretty good considering. I can reach above my head with minimum soreness. I love the results and I’m sure once they’re not as swollen and in place I will love them even more. I’ve wanted to do this for ever and I’m so glad I finally did. More

Dr. Summer Black Understands Women and the Female Body! - Dr. Summer Black is outstanding in every way! I had consultations with a handful of plastic surgeons about removing my breast implants during the ten years I had them, and every surgeon dismissed my concerns — except Dr. Black. She listened to what I wanted for my body and constantly reassured me that I would have a good result aesthetically after the implants were removed. She never rushed me to make a decision and also discussed a plan with me in case I had regrets. In the end, I wish I had not waited so long to remove them. I am thrilled with the results! After my surgery with Dr. Black my breasts look great, and I feel so much more confident and free. She even discovered a rupture in one of my implants, so I am especially grateful that Dr. Black listened to me and took extra care during surgery to ensure that everything was removed properly. Dr. Black is an excellent and skilled surgeon who understands women and the female body and has an artistic eye. She and her staff are warm and professional and treat their patients with care, respect, and kindness. I’m looking for reasons to go back to Dr. Black's office; I had such a positive experience.

Wonderful Treatment - I was referred to Dr. Black by a friend of mine for an explant. I am so glad that I was sent there. Dr. Black was amazing and she was concerned about my symptoms and well being. It was very smooth from the time of my consult to my post op visit. I would recommend Dr. Black for any plastic surgery procedure. More

Excited to See - I'll keep you updated as the results appear, but I can at least review the actual process itself. Black's office is great, wait times are low, they're really nice and very real with what to expect. Dr. Black did a consultation and let me know I would be a great candidate for flank Sculpsure. She specified that Sculpsure works best on thinner women with isolated areas of fat. They were great to talk to and I immediately trusted them and was excited to get rolling, which is unusual for me because I've had a lot of unimpressive consults including for Coolsculpting. Less than a week later I had 2 applicators (or 1/2 a full panel) applied on each hip at the same time. They consulted me repeatedly on where exactly I wanted to be reduced on my hips so they could place appropriately. For me, I just wanted the overhanging "bumps" from my love handles to be reduced so that I didn't have double hips when I wear bodycon dresses. The treatment itself was supposed to be somewhat painful, but I took an Advil beforehand and found it uncomfortable but tolerable. Just when I would start to get close to hurting the machine would cycle back to cool. Afterward, they used a massager to dislodge the fat cells, which was uncomfortable but not painful. I was also told I could return to use this massage machine 3 times in the next couple of weeks for max effect. All told I was in and out in less than an hour and back at work feeling zero lingering pain.For aftercare, I will continue to massage the area and drink water. I will update with before/after photos when I have them, but I don't fully expect results until sometime after my second session 12 weeks from now. Nonetheless, the process was nothing to be upset about so if you're worried about pain, take a couple of Advil before like I did!Updated on 24 Oct 2019:I just finished the last post-Sculpsure massage treatment which I'm excited about. The massage treatment is pretty painful but is so fast. I still have no noticeable bruising or soreness unless massaging the area which is great.Updated on 20 Nov 2019:Interestingly today I put on a bodycon dress, the same one that would have bothered me 8 weeks ago, and wasn't really bothered by my love handles. I could still see a slight curve like before, so it's not very visible, but then I noticed my love handles FEEL different to the touch a little bit, and I don't feel them fold over on my waist when I slouch. All small differences, but I also found myself wondering if I wanted/needed a second treatment if my love handles aren't bothering me now. Maybe I'll do my stomach instead? Or maybe both. I will keep updated when I get before/afters and whether I do the second treatment.Updated on 24 Jan 2020:12 weeks post! I decided to do only one love handle treatment because I didn't want to risk overdoing it or change the shape of my body. I have yet to see the before/afters but I'm fairly sure there's been a slight but appreciated change that only I would notice. So far I would say "worth it" since I didn't need a major change, but I would recommend a different procedure to anyone who would. Since I decided against my second flank treatment, I did a lower abdomen treatment instead. I did right under my belly button, but the person treating me pushed for one right above too, two devices total. The one on the bottom hurt a bit, but the one on my upper abs I felt absolutely nothing at all, making me suspicious that it didn't work properly. I was definitely a bit annoyed that the treatment area was pushed on me and I may not even have had enough fat there to treat or the device wasn't fit properly. I may seek a refund/redo on that area. It's now been a few days and under my belly button is still quite sore when I massage it, there's a little bump which I'm not too worried about. Over my belly button I felt absolutely no tenderness.

My procedure was performed by Dr. Elliot Black, He is straight to the point and blunt. I love his honesty and felt extremely comfortable with him as my surgeon. I had originally wanted Breast Implants but Dr. Elliot explained the risks of implants vs using my own body fat to enhance my breasts. He even gives you his personal cell phone number and encourages you to call whenever you feel the need. He answers promptly and is very down easy to talk to. I had scheduled other consults with 2 other doctors. I saw Dr. Elliot first and cancelled the other 2. I decided that I wanted Dr. Black as my PS after our initial consultation. No need to look further! I also adore his daughter Dr. Summer and had originally requested her , but Patti explained that Dr. Elliot would be the one for me. I didn't ask why. I met Dr. Summer on my consult and she added her opinion and suggestions. It was very nice having the two together. They make a great team! More

Finally - I’ve been unhappy with my body for so many years, but when I entered my fifties things really took a turn for the worse. I’m a wife, mom of 2, grand mom of 3, am 52, 5’1”, 120 pounds and I’m very physically active. I hit the gym 3-5 times per week - mostly cardio - and of course none of that work could fix my low lying breasts or the loose, stretch marked skin on my flabby looking stomach. As we ladies do, there have been conversations between friends about wish lists. You know, if I could have anything done what would it be? Dr. Eileen Summer Black’s name came up quite a few times, as some of my friends had already had their wish lists fulfilled, and Dr. Black seemed to be well loved by all. I decided to go for it. I spoke to my wonderful husband, who by the way, thinks the whole idea of cosmetic surgery is crazy, and he was supportive even if he didn’t get it. My mom agreed to help me out at home while I recovered too. I met with Dr. Black and we made plans to do a breast lift without implants, a tummy tuck with muscle repair, and Lipo. My surgery was scheduled for 12/3. It’s now 12/6 and I’m 3 days out. I showered for the first time yesterday and as it was the first time I’ve taken off my post surgery bra, I finally saw my boobs. Wow, talk about perky! They are sitting high and are still swollen so I’m sure there will he changes in the coming months. I still have surgical tape on my TT incision and the drain is there as well. From what I can see my tummy is very swollen so I’m not making any judgements yet. Dr. Black has been wonderful. She’s checked in with me even though she’s on a family vacation. Seriously - her office is amazing. Everyone there is kind and compassionate. I do want to mention the pain. There has been absolutely no pain from my breast lift. And I’m serious - NONE. Now my stomach is another animal altogether. Yeow!! The pain is real. Luckily Dr. Black uses exparel to numb you up post surgery. It lasted about 48 hours then the fun began. I feel like a big baby. I knew there would be pain, but had no idea what it would feel like. It’s bad. I stopped taking prescription pain meds after the first day and am taking extra strength Tylenol now. As I still haven’t had a BM I just don’t want to make that any worse. I’ll be taking Miralax this morning and I’ll move around a little more today. I’ll post again soon. Also, thanks to all you wonderful ladies who’ve posted your experiences! More

Facelift and more! - In 2003, I had gastric bypass surgery. I lost about 100 pounds. Gravity has taken it’s toll over the last few years. From extensive research and recommendations from a dear and trusted friend, I went to the Drs.Black to perform my facelift. I CANNOT say enough good things about Dr. Elliott and Dr. Summer or their staff ( Patty and Wade)! I don’t look like I’ve been caught in a wind tunnel! My neck no longer has a turkey waddle, and my eyes are actually opened up to see the world! I’ve been so pleased that I’m taking the next scary steps to have a breast reduction/ lift and a tummy tuck . I trusted these talented surgeons with my face and I am confident to have them perform this upcoming surgery! Trusting anyone with my “Face” that meets the world is a pretty big deal! I recommend this practice highly! I’m their biggest cheerleader! Call them! You won’t be sorry! More

Dr. Black is an amazing surgeon with a fabulous bedside manner! He is always willing to spend as much time with you as he needs to for you to feel confident in your decisions. I had breast augmentation done several years ago and was extremely pleased with my results. Unfortunately, I ended up with a ruptured implant and ultimately decided to get them removed. I was very concerned with what my breast would look like following the ex-plant, but didn't want to undergo another augmentation. After much discussion, I took Dr. Black's recommendation of an ex-plant followed by a breast lift. My results turned out better than I could have ever hoped far and I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out!!!I highly recommend Dr. Black (and his daughter/partner Dr. Summer Black) to anyone interested in cosmetic surgery. They are both very kind, knowledgeable and always recommend what they think would make you most happy - not what will make them the most money.I absolutely love both doctors and from day one of meeting them, until now, I have not one complaint!

Through a recommendation my attention was drawn to the work of Doctor Black, which is why I decided to travel all the way from Germany to get my facelift done by him. I couldn't be happier about my decision! Throughout my stay in the clinic I always felt like everyone took great care of my individual needs and interests. The result of my surgery is by far better than I would have ever expected. The wish to get a facelift that would make me look naturally younger but still like myself came out great. I came to him with the purpose of looking and feeling better about myself and he absolutely made that happen. I can recommend Doctor Black to everyone who wants to get a plastic surgery done. More

I had an amazingly pleasant experience, unusual description fro surgery I know, but Dr. Elliott Black, his staff & the Surgery Center made me so incredibly comfortable in my decision to have Dr. Black as my surgeon that I never had a worry.I live in Las Vegas & interviewed several doctors there then met with Dr. Black when visiting my parents in New Orleans (where I grew up) & left his office knowing I would have complete confidence in him.Every time I had a question I'd call from Las Vegas, his wonderful assistant, Patty, would answer every question, she was so kind & sincere.I had no nausea after surgery, the nurses at the Surgery Center were wonderful & efficient.It was so nice to spend the first night after surgery there, so many doctors send you home shortly after surgery. Dr. Black does not & it was so comforting to be cared for professionally in those hours after surgery.Dr. Black came to see me several times that afternoon, called me that evening & was back to see me the next morning.During my days of recovery he phoned every day & gave me his cell number to call him any time. He also took time to speak with/call my husband & my parents.My recovery was much shorter than many, due to his skill & care, I'm on my way home now but will be back to Dr. Black for any plastic surgery I may have in the future.

Amazing Experience! Highly Recommended! - Dr. Summer Black is absolutely amazing for several reasons. Dr. Black answered all my questions during my consult and took as much time as I needed. She also encouraged me to call or text her personally with any additional questions I may have thought of after my initial consult. We thoroughly discussed what my “goals” were for having the En Bloc Total Capsulectomy. She was very honest and matter of fact about what I could expect from having this procedure. She did not try to sell me on having additional procedures, even though I specifically asked if I need to have a lift with this procedure (which clearly would have been more expensive), but she told me she did not think I needed it. I have complete confidence in Dr. Summer Black and her father (prior to the surgery and even more so now on the other side). They operate as a team which makes me even more confident knowing there are two wonderful plastic surgeons operating on me. Dr. Black took videos and pictures explaining what she found during the procedure. She called me the evening of my surgery to check on me and we communicated for the next two weeks every day or every other day regarding my recovery. The personal care you receive from Dr. Black Plastic Surgery is excellent (exceeded all my expectations). The results of my surgery are amazing and exactly what we had discussed. If I decide to have additional plastic surgery in the future I would absolutely return to her, hands down. Dr. Black also offers dermal fillers. She injected my lips to increase the fullness. I experienced minimal pain and the attention from the staff was impeccable and I love my lips. Thanks Dr. Black, you gave me a new lease on life! More

I had a face-to-face consultation with Dr. Black in Metairie on January 7th, and by the end of that meeting I had made up my mind that Dr. Black was the surgeon for me. She's patient, knowledgeable, a terrific communicator, and above all, she didn't invalidate my illness-experience (the things that I had been going through that likely had a component of MY body responding badly to the foreign body that was in it... that is, she didn't rule out that it could be a factor). By the end of the consultation, I knew that she would be the one to do my surgery! I was able to schedule my surgery for two weeks out, and can happily report at this time that I am now breast-implant-free! She did an AMAZING job! My breast already look great, even five days after explant! Additionally, the Crescent City Surgical Center was beyond any expectations I could have had, and the nurses and staff there were EASILY five stars! Due to Dr. Black's "realness", open-mindedness, and willingness to remove my entire implant, and capsule, and to make sure nothing foreign was left in the breast pockets; I will most definitely recommend her to others, and I will definitely make the three hour drive to use her for other aesthetic procedures (skin care, and injectables) in the future. She's absolutely worth it! More

Tummy Tuck - Fluer De Lis Cut - After Massive Weight Loss - I have documented all of my recovery before and after on YouTube. My channel name is vsgtanya2011. I had weight loss surgery in 2011 and lost about 100 pounds. I was left with am apron of skin on my stomach, since that's where I carried a large amount of my weight. Two years after my weight loss, I had consultations with two other plastic surgeons before I chose Dr. Summer Black. Her approach, which was more in line with what I was anticipating for the skin removal, just made me feel completely confident. She was straight forward and compassionate. I scheduled my surgery (self-pay) that day, if I remember correctly. I had the surgery in the morning and stayed the night at Crescent City Surgical Center. I did not need muscle repair, but I did have a little liposuction on my hips. The surgery went very smooth and all of the nurses and staff treated me like a queen. Dr. Black actually gave me her cell phone number to call her if I was concerned about anything. She called me several times after I was home and before my first follow up appointment. Dr. Black placed a pain pump under my skin during the surgery, which helped control the pain for the first three days. I had two drains (one on either side). I did not have a lot of pain. At about the one week mark, the drains were removed. I was back at work (desk job) after about 3 weeks. I am extremely pleased with my results and with how wonderful Dr. Black treated me. She truly treated me like a friend more than a patient! More

Dr. Black and her staff were so calming and reassuring. She simply made all the fears and worries I had about going through with this surgery go away. I could not be more pleased with my results. My incision is flawless, and my belly is flatter than I would ever have expected, and it has only been 3 months. Dr. Black is an extremely talented plastic surgeon. My results thus far have already surpassed my original expectations. If I would have to go into surgery again and she was my surgeon, there would most certainly be no worries. More

Best Surgeons Around!!! - Dr. Black is an amazing surgeon with a fabulous bedside manner! He is always willing to spend as much time with you as he needs to for you to feel confident in your decisions. I had breast augmentation done several years ago and was extremely pleased with my results. Unfortunately, I ended up with a ruptured implant and ultimately decided to get them removed. I was very concerned with what my breast would look like following the ex-plant, but didn't want to undergo another augmentation. After much discussion, I took Dr. Black's recommendation of an ex-plant followed by a breast lift. My results turned out better than I could have ever hoped far and I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out!!!I highly recommend Dr. Black (and his daughter/partner Dr. Summer Black) to anyone interested in cosmetic surgery. They are both very kind, knowledgeable and always recommend what they think would make you most happy - not what will make them the most money.I absolutely love both doctors and from day one of meeting them, until now, I have not one complaint!

A Very Good Decision - Through a recommendation my attention was drawn to the work of Doctor Black, which is why I decided to travel all the way from Germany to get my facelift done by him. I couldn't be happier about my decision! Throughout my stay in the clinic I always felt like everyone took great care of my individual needs and interests. The result of my surgery is by far better than I would have ever expected. The wish to get a facelift that would make me look naturally younger but still like myself came out great. I came to him with the purpose of looking and feeling better about myself and he absolutely made that happen. I can recommend Doctor Black to everyone who wants to get a plastic surgery done. More

I have documented all of my recovery before and after on YouTube. My channel name is vsgtanya2011.I had weight loss surgery in 2011 and lost about 100 pounds. I was left with am apron of skin on my stomach, since that's where I carried a large amount of my weight. Two years after my weight loss, I had consultations with two other plastic surgeons before I chose Dr. Summer Black. Her approach, which was more in line with what I was anticipating for the skin removal, just made me feel completely confident. She was straight forward and compassionate. I scheduled my surgery (self-pay) that day, if I remember correctly. I had the surgery in the morning and stayed the night at Crescent City Surgical Center. I did not need muscle repair, but I did have a little liposuction on my hips. The surgery went very smooth and all of the nurses and staff treated me like a queen. Dr. Black actually gave me her cell phone number to call her if I was concerned about anything. She called me several times after I was home and before my first follow up appointment. Dr. Black placed a pain pump under my skin during the surgery, which helped control the pain for the first three days. I had two drains (one on either side). I did not have a lot of pain. At about the one week mark, the drains were removed. I was back at work (desk job) after about 3 weeks. I am extremely pleased with my results and with how wonderful Dr. Black treated me. She truly treated me like a friend more than a patient! More

BEST Plastic Surgeon EVER! - I could not pass up this opportunity without leaving a review concerning my experience with Dr Summer Black PS, her father Dr Elliot Black and their entire staff. I had breast explant surgery via en bloc procedure a few weeks ago. Dr Black is by far the most compassionate Dr I have ever meet. From the time I walked into her office the entire staff is very welcoming and helpful. Dr Black took her time explaining what all my procedure would involve and I left feeling very satisfied. Their wonderful staff called with friendly reminders of my appt times vs getting a text reminder (I was happy about that also as I was able to ask questions at that time also about my upcoming surgery). The facility that I had my procedure done was Crescent City Surgical Ctr. In Metairie also located convieniently right by Dr Blacks office. The hospital is owned and operated by several Dr's two of which are Dr Summer and Elliot Black. This place is top notch first class!!! Everything ran so smooth from my pre op appt. there to my surgery day. I can say without hesitation that I have never had this type of treatment or experience at any other hospital or physicians office....EverOn the day of my surgery everything went so smooth and to my surprise after my procedure I was informed that I not only had Dr Summer working on me during my surgery but also her father. Where else can you go to have PS and end up with two excellent skilled professionals working on you.I have another follow up appt this morning but I wanted to take a minute to say that if you or anyone you know is looking for a GREAT plastic surgeon I HIGHLY recommend Dr Summer Black as well as her father and co worker Dr Elliot Black PS in Metairie Louisiana. You will be very happy!Sincerely, Zoe More

Tummy Tuck - Fluer De Lis Cut - After Massive Weight Loss - I absolutely love Dr. Black! She treats you like a friend more than a patient. She is clearly very skilled. Her work is beautiful. She does not try to get you to do any more surgery than what you absolutely need. I have two other friends that have had their tummy tucks after massive weight loss with Dr. Black and they love her, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Summer Black! She performed my fleur de lis tummy tuck in 2013 and my brachioplasty in 2017. She is an amazing surgeon that does beautiful work. I am thrilled with the placement of my incisions on my arms. What I really love about Dr. Black is that she treats you like a friend and not just a patient. She gave me her cell phone number, in case I had any issues. She personally called to check on me when I was home. She made the experiences as pleasant and painless as possible. I can't say enough about her as a surgeon and a person! More

I had an amazing experience with my breast implant removal!! - Dr. Black was amazing! I am a 60 year old female who had the same breast implants for more than 33 years after the birth of my twins in 1982. My implants had become severely encapsulated (extremely hard and disfigured from scar tissue). They were extremely heavy and causing me a lot of pain. I was sent to Dr. Black by my OB/GYN, who advised the implants needed to be removed due to encapsulation/calcification. I had wanted to remove them for a long time, but after they became severely encapsulated, I had no choice. It was the best thing I ever did!!! Dr. Black was extremely meticulous and thorough in her removal of my implants. She advised that I could have a breast lift afterwards to improve the sagging if I wanted, but suggested that I wait 6 months to a year in order to let my breasts revive as much as they could on their own. I didn't think they would revive at all after 33 years, but she was correct. They have revived enough to where I don't look disfigured. My only personal issue remaining is that they are sagging somewhat (which, let's face it, is to be expected in any 60 year old female), but I'm not sure it's enough to make me undergo the breast lift or not. However, it has only been 4 months since my breast explantation. I cannot express how much better I feel. I no longer have any heaviness pulling on my breasts nor am I an in pain. It feels amazing to feel so natural again after 33 years. I learned about the breast explantation fund still available to assist with medical expenses for the removal of breast implants for up to $5,000.00. It has several qualifications that absolutely must be met prior to their approval and rendering any medical funds toward the explantation, but I qualified and received the full $5,000.00 financial assistance, which is only paid directly to the physician. If you are in a situation similar to mine, I highly recommend you look into the fund and strongly urge you to go to Dr. Black for the surgical procedure. I have had absolutely no complications whatsoever and my treatment and healing went exactly as she advised me it would. She was extremely conscientious towards my medical needs and more than willing to assist in any way possible. She saw me on my lunch hours so I would not have to miss work for her visits and immediately responded to every question I had. She continued to call after my surgery to check on me and I have only a very tiny incision under my breast where it cannot be seen. Dr. Black is awesome and I highly recommend her to anyone. More

I had my breast implants removed by Dr Eileen Summer Black on 4/20/17. Recovery was easy, very little pain. Emptying the drains was the most difficult part of the recovery. I had planned for a breast lift within 6 months, but after waiting and watching my breasts settle over the past 2 months, I am happy to say "I do not need a lift". Scarring is minimal and under the breasts so they are not noticeable. I am so....... happy with my body now. More

Dr. Elliott Black and Dr. Summer Black both performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) on me on May 19, 2016. It was a very necessary procedure for me after losing over 200 pounds thanks to gastric sleeve weight loss surgery. By both doctors "tag teaming" and performing my surgery together, I only spent 4 hours under anesthesia instead of eight. The results were amazing. I truly did not think my abdomen could ever be so flat and tight. The recovery was daunting and I had some setbacks, but both doctors were always there if I needed them, even going so far as to give me their personal cell phone numbers. I would highly recommend either of the doctors to any of my family or friends. In fact, I now carry around Dr. Elliott's business cards in my purse in case anyone wants a referral. I will actually be going back this year to have a thigh tuck done as well. I am confident that the results will be just as great as my tummy tuck. More

Rhinoplasty was something I pondered getting ever sense I was old enough to look in the mirror . I was always so unhappy with my appreance . I had a very large "hump" on my nose , that was most noticeable from my side profile . Extremely nervous , I took a chance and walked into Dr Elliot Blacks office . I heard from several different people that I could not go wrong with choosing him for my surgery ! The first thing he said to me when I walked in was " you'd be be beautiful with or without this procedure " I never once felt pressured into doing something I didn't want to do. He never tried talking me into other procedures that would enhance my rhinoplasty . I felt completely comfortable leaving his office that day. He sat down with me and drew pictures , and explained the surgery start to finish And assured me no surprises ! I scheduled my surgery date the following week ! The only thing I regret about having a rhinoplasty was waiting as long as I did . I had zero to very minimal discomfort after the procedure . He checked on me every single day , just to make sure I was healing okay! A week later , the cast that was placed after the surgery was removed . Still had some minor bruising but nothing a little makeup couldn't hide ! I was back to work a few days later ! Since my surgery my confidence has gone up a million percent ! I would choose Dr Elliot Black , and Dr Summer Black for any cosmetic procedure in the future . I highly recommend them ! No doubt in my mind you'll be satisfied with your results ! More

Dr Summer Black is the BEST Botox injector! She is consistent with coverage & the outcome is beautiful wrinkle free skin. She customizes the injection locations and amounts based on what she sees my needs are and also my concerns as her patient. (not just the same amount, the same way & on the same 3 or 4 areas as on everyone else) I am so happy with the results! More

love the results! Dr. Summer was very detailed with my treatment. I look completely natural. It took 5 days to see results, worth the wait. That had been my 1st time to her office, I am going to use her for my Botox for now on. I don't feel I need any other treatment as of now.. But when the next time I'm in need I'll use Dr.Black. More

Dr. Black was recommended to me by two family members both of whom are happy with their results. Any anxiety that I had about choosing the right plastic surgeon faded the moment I met Dr. Black. She made me feel comfortable like no other doctor ever has. She and her office were very accommodating when my surgery had to be pushed back as well as after the surgery for post-op check ups. Moreover, she is a gifted surgeon who gave me exactly what we discussed. I love my results and will not hesitate to recommend her to friends, family, and strangers alike! More

I have a very large scar on my face from an accident and is very painful. Dr. Black filled in the scar, broke up scar-tissue. My scar is less noticeable which makes me feel much more confident. She also filled in my lips and I'm so pleased with the outcome...she didn't over-do my lips, they look very natural. I also had her fill in my nose at the tip on the side and it looks amazing. More

I LOVED my experience with Dr. Summer Black. I'm a 41 yr. old African American female and I got Restylane injections to fill in my nasolabial folds and marionette lines (laugh lines). The results look very natural and I am beyond pleased! Dr. Summer Black is so attentive to what your desired results are and she didn't make me feel like she was rushed. Her personality is also very down to earth. Her staff is extremely accomodating and made me feel like I was in good hands. Her receptionist, Ana, is super friendly and her assistant (I forgot his name) was very kind and patiently answered all of my questions as well. I'm definitely going back. More

61 Year Old with Breast Implants Since 1994 - Metairie, LA - I had my breast implants removed by Dr Eileen Summer Black on 4/20/17. Recovery was easy, very little pain. Emptying the drains was the most difficult part of the recovery. I had planned for a breast lift within 6 months, but after waiting and watching my breasts settle over the past 2 months, I am happy to say "I do not need a lift". Scarring is minimal and under the breasts so they are not noticeable. I am so....... happy with my body now. More

Compassionate Doctor - Metairie, LA - Dr. Elliott Black and Dr. Summer Black both performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) on me on May 19, 2016. It was a very necessary procedure for me after losing over 200 pounds thanks to gastric sleeve weight loss surgery. By both doctors "tag teaming" and performing my surgery together, I only spent 4 hours under anesthesia instead of eight. The results were amazing. I truly did not think my abdomen could ever be so flat and tight. The recovery was daunting and I had some setbacks, but both doctors were always there if I needed them, even going so far as to give me their personal cell phone numbers. I would highly recommend either of the doctors to any of my family or friends. In fact, I now carry around Dr. Elliott's business cards in my purse in case anyone wants a referral. I will actually be going back this year to have a thigh tuck done as well. I am confident that the results will be just as great as my tummy tuck. More

Rhinoplasty Proud ! - Metairie, LA - Rhinoplasty was something I pondered getting ever sense I was old enough to look in the mirror . I was always so unhappy with my appreance . I had a very large "hump" on my nose , that was most noticeable from my side profile . Extremely nervous , I took a chance and walked into Dr Elliot Blacks office . I heard from several different people that I could not go wrong with choosing him for my surgery ! The first thing he said to me when I walked in was " you'd be be beautiful with or without this procedure " I never once felt pressured into doing something I didn't want to do. He never tried talking me into other procedures that would enhance my rhinoplasty . I felt completely comfortable leaving his office that day. He sat down with me and drew pictures , and explained the surgery start to finish And assured me no surprises ! I scheduled my surgery date the following week ! The only thing I regret about having a rhinoplasty was waiting as long as I did . I had zero to very minimal discomfort after the procedure . He checked on me every single day , just to make sure I was healing okay! A week later , the cast that was placed after the surgery was removed . Still had some minor bruising but nothing a little makeup couldn't hide ! I was back to work a few days later ! Since my surgery my confidence has gone up a million percent ! I would choose Dr Elliot Black , and Dr Summer Black for any cosmetic procedure in the future . I highly recommend them ! No doubt in my mind you'll be satisfied with your results ! More

I am a 60 year old female who had the same breast implants for more than 33 years after the birth of my twins in 1982. My implants had become severely encapsulated (extremely hard and disfigured from scar tissue). They were extremely heavy and causing me a lot of pain. I was sent to Dr. Black by my OB/GYN, who advised the implants needed to be removed due to encapsulation/calcification. I had wanted to remove them for a long time, but after they became severely encapsulated, I had no choice. It was the best thing I ever did!!! Dr. Black was extremely meticulous and thorough in her removal of my implants. She advised that I could have a breast lift afterwards to improve the sagging if I wanted, but suggested that I wait 6 months to a year in order to let my breasts revive as much as they could on their own. I didn't think they would revive at all after 33 years, but she was correct. They have revived enough to where I don't look disfigured. My only personal issue remaining is that they are sagging somewhat (which, let's face it, is to be expected in any 60 year old female), but I'm not sure it's enough to make me undergo the breast lift or not. However, it has only been 4 months since my breast explantation. I cannot express how much better I feel. I no longer have any heaviness pulling on my breasts nor am I an in pain. It feels amazing to feel so natural again after 33 years. I learned about the breast explantation fund still available to assist with medical expenses for the removal of breast implants for up to $5,000.00. It has several qualifications that absolutely must be met prior to their approval and rendering any medical funds toward the explantation, but I qualified and received the full $5,000.00 financial assistance, which is only paid directly to the physician. If you are in a situation similar to mine, I highly recommend you look into the fund and strongly urge you to go to Dr. Black for the surgical procedure. I have had absolutely no complications whatsoever and my treatment and healing went exactly as she advised me it would. She was extremely conscientious towards my medical needs and more than willing to assist in any way possible. She saw me on my lunch hours so I would not have to miss work for her visits and immediately responded to every question I had. She continued to call after my surgery to check on me and I have only a very tiny incision under my breast where it cannot be seen. Dr. Black is awesome and I highly recommend her to anyone. More

Mini Tummy Tuck. - Metairie, LA - So far she is wonderful, a very straight forward doctor that is honest and not just trying to sell you procedures you do not need. - - Like everyone else, I've obsessed over this site for months, reading and reading and reading. I initially decided on a BA and mini tummy tuck, but am only doing the mini for now. I have paid my $6,550 + $200 (pain pump)=$6,750 to Dr. Summer Black in Metairie, LA. I am 32 yo, 5'1 and 103 lbs. After my first and only child at 19 yo who was 8 lbs, 21 in. (I was only 98 lbs when I got pregnant), the elasticity in my stomach never returned. I was horribly blessed with the stretch marks above my naval, which pools or gathers to the center of my stomach. The PS does not plan on giving me a new naval, but is going to disconnet and reposition mine. I am only having skin done due to having plently of abdominal muscle and it is speculated that there is minimal fat, but I might just ask her to lipo anyways just in case. I am also having her lipo the fat deposits on my hips above my buttocks. I exercise frequently, but have never been able to get rid of that fat. I have bought Arnica Montana and Bellis Perennis to start taking after surgery, I'm not sure if any of that will help, but it cost next to nothing so why not try it. I also bought Graphites, which is supposed to heal scar tissue, mainly external. I do not plan on taking that until the stitches fall out or are removed. I have scheduled two weeks off from work, hoping that will be sufficient. I will post before pics soon. More
