Colette A. Stern, MD- Asheville Plastic Surgeon Reviews

I am so thrilled that I chose this particular doctor, and this office. My experience has been incredibly rewarding & very comfortable... and the entire staff is so kind and understanding! With the type of procedure I wanted to have done, I felt like I would be most comfortable with a female surgeon. I met her, and I instantly knew, she was the one for me! No regrets, besides not going through with my choice earlier! Dr. Stern, Lucinda, and her entire staff will make you feel welcome and at ease!

If you are considering Dr Stern as your surgeon...please read this! I am here to tell you that she literally has changed my life for the better, and I am forever grateful.When I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2010 it involved having a double mastectomy and (I opted for) reconstruction. Although I was never happy with how my reconstructed breasts looked, the bigger issue was how physically uncomfortable I was. In 2013 I met with a new plastic surgeon who confidently let me know that he could improve on the look and feel of my breasts and I underwent another surgery. Moving toward 2019 I was once again feeling tightness and 'pulling' that was becoming more and more difficult to tolerate. The appearance of my breasts had improved from the initial reconstruction, yet I still suffered from body shame and always felt as though I had been 'mutilated' and look 'damaged' as a result of my previous surgeries. I never thought my breasts look natural in any way and I had no idea that they ever could.And then I met Dr Stern. I sought her out for only one reason...to see if she could help ease my discomfort. Dr Stern was confident that she could provide relief and I scheduled yet another surgery. Here I am 6 weeks post op, and even though I'm still healing I am already feeling more physical comfort. What I NEVER expected is that Dr Stern would be able to create breasts that I can see (for the very fist time since 2010) as BEAUTIFUL! They feel natural, are finally the right shape and size for my small frame, feel soft, are symmetrical, and even her incisions/my scars don't look bad to me. I feel like a woman again and literally cry every time I even think about how much I suffered emotionally over the past 9 years. Dr Stern's team is caring, compassionate, highly skilled, and they all understand how to be supportive in all the ways that matter to me clinically and emotionally. I felt listened to. I know that I am person and not just another patient in their practice. My outcomes are far greater than I ever could have imagined.

Dr.Stern and her all-female surgical team are fantastic. Theyre caring, professional, and give patients their undivided attention. Dr.Stern always went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that all of my questions were answered before my breast reduction/lift. After the surgery, I had an easy recovery and was ecstatic over the results. I felt like my breasts were finally proportional to my body. They were no longer massive or droopy, instead they looked how I had always envisioned they would. Im incredibly grateful to Dr.Stern and her staff and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking into a breast reduction and/or other cosmetic surgery.

Kudos to Dr. Stern and her wonderfully amazing staff. Being an old hippie type and not much into traditional meds I never thought about anything but aging gracefully until it made me sad to look in the mirror. Never beautiful I have always been comfortable in my skin but when my looks began affecting my mental well being it was clearly time to see if something could be done about it. Nothing drastic and clearly still me but I have now regained my confidence and am much happier with myself. Thanks so much to this great team ... Words just cannot express how grateful I am to all of them... Life is good again !

Dr. Stern was extremely thorough throughout the pre op, surgery and post op procedure. My results are amazing and I could not be happier. I will be going back for another surgery next summer. Hands down the best!

12 days post surgery and I am overjoyed with my results. The entire staff at Dr. Stern's facility is amazing and everyone made me feel completely comfortable every step of the way. After years of contemplation and research, I would never have trusted another surgeon. I am overjoyed with seemingly perfect results and I highly recommend.

I knew as a teenager that I didnt look the same as my peers. When I turned 18, I went to every plastic surgeon in Miami, Fl. looking to correct my appearance. I got everything from youd have to be born again to you are deformed. I am a very private person and putting myself out there was extremely difficult and those experiences made me feel less of a woman and extremely hurt. Most times Id walk out with tears in my eyes and nurses trying to console me. 14 years ago I finally met a team of doctors that took my case and gave it a name. Due to arrested development caused by a lack of progesterone, my breast tissue did not develop appropriately. My congenital condition is called Tuberous Breast Deformity (TBD).They told me that a percentage of women suffered from this affliction and that they had performed this surgery numerous times. I was told by one of the doctors that I would look like a Brazilian dancer. I was relieved and anxious to feel feminine and beautiful. I emphasized repeatedly that I wanted SHAPE not size. I went into surgery feeling hopeful. When I went to my posts op appointment and the doctors removed the bandages, I was upset and extremely disappointed. I had 370cc placed in my petite 51 frame. They told me that they had to go that big to correct the problem and that in a years time, everything would look fantastic. I went home and cried and wished Id never met those doctors. They told me what I wanted to hear but they didnt fix the problem! When my skin was relaxed the Tuberous breast were sitting on top of these giant implants. This Christmas, as I was getting ready for a family gathering, I noticed that my right breast didnt feel right. I looked in the mirror and realized the right implant had ruptured. I panicked and called my doctor and left a message with the answering service. No one called me back. I then called a friend who I knew had implants done in Asheville and she gave me Dr. Sterns number. I called her office but didnt hear back from them until Dec. 27th. That day they told me Id have to wait until March 27th to see Dr. Stern. I started crying and they told me to set the appointment for that date and assured me she would do everything in her power to get me an appointment sooner. No more than 30min later she called back and asked if I could be there by 4:00pm. Dr. Stern was kind. She listened to my story and then examined me. She asked me what I wanted and I once again said SHAPE, not size please. She took the time to explain what reconstructive procedure I would need and explained that depending on the amount of tissue removed in order to have shape I would need another implant. We looked at sizes much better proportioned to my body and she scheduled my surgery for that Friday. From first contact with Dr. Sterns office I felt so much care. From the receptionist to the nursing staff to the office manager. Everyone went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and that my needs were being met. The day of surgery my family and I were greeted by the sweetest nurse. She went through all my information and made sure all questions were answered and reassured my family theyd take good care of me. From there the process was tactfully coordinated to make sure I was at easy and comfortable. Today I went to my post op appointment with Dr. Stern and I cried. This time they were tears of joy, I finally looked the way I thought I should. With tape and bruising and swelling I could see the major difference. The Tuberous Breast Deformity was gone. There arent enough words to explain how I feel. Dr. Stern was caring, companionate, very professional, sensitive, and gave me what I had been waiting for since I was a teenage girl.

I traveled from Hawaii to Asheville, NC to meet Dr stern who is by far one of the nicest doctors I've met! She listens to everything you want & makes very good judgements. I felt most comfortable knowing I would have a female surgeon & female nurses around while under anesthesia. During my breast & rhinoplasty surgery she explained step by step what was going to happen, and had nurses at my side at all times. I was not scared at all, she held my hand and rubbed it until I knocked out from anesthesia. So far everything looks great, I'm very happy. My breasts are the perfect size for my body very soft natural and so amazing, my nose is still changing its shape but I noticed changes immediately after getting the cast removed. I would give her 100 stars. WOULDNT TRUST ANYONE ELSE.
