I had breast augmentation with Dr. Ellen A Mahony over a decade ago. No issues, I was in pain for only one day, hardly any scars underneath my breast, they feel absolutely real, they look amazing, no issues with healing, i would love to return for a tummy tuck and possible breast augmentation again, as every 10-15 years, you're supposed to get them re done. She was professional, and answered all of my questions, very nice staff and beautiful office I have no complaints. read more

I agree with Gigi, reviews are awkwardly solicited at the front desk in exchange for a discount on future services. The office staff is nice enough but I found Dr Mahoney to be condescending and impatient. It's too bad, I was happy to have found a woman. I also didn't appreciate the constant upselling of products. I was sold an eye cream that caused inflammation and redness to my eyes, which I had to deal with at my own birthday party. i later learned the cream sold to me contained an ingredient I was clear about telling the physician assistant I was allergic to. no apologies, not refund, nothing. There are plenty of fantastic plastic surgeons in fairfield county--- I suggest you find one of them. read more

Three months ago, I had a labiaplasty performed by Dr. Mahony. Throughout the process, most of my pre-op and post-op care was handled by her physician assistants. These women were absolutely wonderful -- patient, informative, and compassionate. They made a very personal and sensitive experience feel safe and supported, and I'm truly grateful for their care. Today marked my 3-month post-op appointment. I expressed a concern about lingering swelling to the nurse, who kindly suggested I bring it up directly with Dr. Mahony. This was actually my first time seeing Dr. Mahony since the surgery. When I mentioned that my results appeared more swollen than my pre-op photos, I was simply looking for reassurance or insight on healing progress. However, her response -- "Well, I have pictures too, and it looks the same" -- came off extremely rude and dismissive. I was shocked by her tone and overall demeanor. For the remainder of the appointment, she continued to be snippy and condescending, making me feel as though my concerns were invalid or that I was wasting her time. As a patient who paid over $4,000 for this very personal procedure, I expected at least a baseline level of empathy and professionalism. I left feeling uncomfortable and belittled, which is not how any patient should feel, especially in such a vulnerable context. While I would never return or recommend Dr. Mahony for procedures after this experience, I want to highlight that her PAs and support staff were incredible. They're the reason I felt safe leading up to and after surgery. If I could go back in time, I would have chosen a different doctor. read more

Terrible place. Dishonest. All reviews are purchased with discount at the checkout. Quality of aesthetician work is terrible. I was cheated with the bill (extra $1200 added) and my face is ruined. Week after procedure I went on my vacation completely bruised and uglyfied. I don't know what to do - hiding from my family behind mask and bedroom door. Horrible read more

Seriously great experience. I went to Dr Mahony to consult about my aging eyes at 54 yrs old. Dr Mahony explained what I needed was a subtle lift to the eyelids and when I heard that it was an easy in office procedure, it was a no brainer. Day of, I was of course a bit anxious but was completely calmed by the staff and structure of a small and intimate office ---totally hand held into a perfect calm and a really wonderful experience. Great bedside manner in the procedure and between the Dr and her amazing PA. Don't tell my dentist but was way easier than a filling ! For real. End result--- an amazing transformation and I swear 20 years off my eyes. I am amazed how easy this was with such dramatic results. Still me, just younger. I so appreciate Dr Mahony's expertise and skill. So happy ! read more

Dr. Mahony was so kind and informative. Once I met her I knew I had made the right decision. She really eased my nerves about breast augmentation and left me with so much wonderful information.

After researching many doctors I came across Dr Ellen Mahony. Scheduled my consultation for a Bilateral breast augmentation. Underwent my preop and then my surgery. Everything was good until I started noticing my scars were bumpy and my right side started to sag. Constantly kept calling the office to ask questions. Never got any answers from the office. I was forced to go to another doctor in NYC to have corrective breast surgery. read more

This was my first major surgery so I was really nervous! The staff was great! Erica, the office manager was kind and helpful. She always responded to my calls and emails after my first consultation and after surgery. Dr. Mahony listened to me and my concerns and made me feel at ease. With her extensive knowledge on breast augmentation, she helped me make the best decision. I didn't feel rushed and she also invited me back for a second consultation. The day of the surgery went so smooth, I didn't feel nervous. It's been three months since my breast augmentation and I love my end result!! At 46 years old, I never felt sexier! read more

This is the worst practice I have ever been to. They kept calling and emailing me for business and when I finally booked a procedure, they insisted on a 20 percent payment. Then they said there was a pre op appointment a week before the scheduled surgery. When I called to confirm they said that I needed to pay in full at the pre-op appointment or they wouldn't honor the scheduled date. I said I was going to pay the day of surgery, but that wasn't good enough. Seems all they care about is the money and the patient is secondary. Nasty and intimidating and totally unreasonable. When I asked for the doctor to call me, I was told that "she won't do that," and they refused to refund my deposit. Nasty, nasty, money grubbing practice. I wouldn't have anything done there. Patient trust is everything with plastic surgery, and she could care less about her patients! read more

It has been over one year since my surgery and I am so saddened because I still cannot feel the tender touch of my husband's hand as he strokes my cheek -and don't know if I ever will. And to add insult to injury, my double chin remains! I knew from the outset that there was a possibility of sensation loss, and I am not criticizing anyone because it happened. I am criticizing the treatment which I received that left me with this result. 1. DR. MAHONY'S POOR ATTITUDE: During my initial consultation with Dr. Mahony, she made me feel comfortable and impressed me with her confidence that she could certainly get me the results I desired. She had all of the time in the world to respond to my questions and assuage my concerns. However, during both of my follow up visits, Dr. Mahony was an entirely different person. She was brusque and borderline rude when she said, "Do you think I can perform miracles?". Always rushed, Dr. Mahoney couldn't wait to push me off on Stephanie (her lovely and capable assistant) as quickly as possible. Additionally, when I asked questions about massaging the scar areas, she curtly remarked that I should have been doing it already and I was told to do so. Truth be told, I was not given these instructions. I mean really... after spending $20,000 on a procedure, do you honestly think I would not do everything possible to give myself the best possible results???!!! 2. DR. MAHONY'S QUESTIONABLE FEES: Dr. Mahony explained that Norwalk Hospital was her location of choice, so, of course, I agreed, although it would cost a bit more. My fee was pre-paid based upon a projected number of hours in the operating room. Considering the time on the clock when I was taken into surgery and the time on the clock when she called my husband to say that I was done and all went well (she was clearly in the car at the time), it was obvious that she did not use all of the time for which I paid. Again, adding insult to injury, Norwalk Hospital said that not only did Dr. Mahony go under time, but she actually logged additional time and I was to be upcharged accordingly. Unless the physical world of time ceases to exist in the Norwalk Hospital, Dr. Mahony was not being honest. This sort of unsavory practice makes my blood boil. 3. DR. MAHONY'S LACK OF ASSISTANCE: I was so incapacitated immediately after the surgery that was unable to speak for myself. Accordingly, my husband and the attending nurses decided that it would be best if I were admitted. Somehow, this was listed on my record as "not a medical necessity" and therefore, the $1200 charge was not covered by my insurance. When I contacted Dr. Mahony's office about this, I was told that it was not Dr. Mahony's responsibility and that I needed to deal with the hospital directly. Moreover, when I mentioned that I was working with Minnie at Norwalk Hospital, I was told, "Oh yeah, she can be really difficult." If billing at Norwalk Hospital is a known problem, why does Dr. Mahoney insist on using this facility and why does her office not have someone willing to assist her patients? I was left to fend for myself and ultimately forced to pay the excess monies. Bottom line: Would I recommend Dr. Mahony? No. Nope. and Never. read more

Choosing Dr. Mahony to do my face surgery is the best thing I have ever done. She is an artist, and the results exceeded my expectations. I look like me, just 10 years younger. Absolutely no scars. My friends can't quite tell what has changed, only that I look great. My only regret is that I waited so long to do it. read more

Earlier this year Dr. Mahony performed reconstructive surgery on a congenital ear deformity of mine. It's something I have been self-conscious about my entire life. After reaching out to several local surgeons over the years via email and sharing photos with them, I never felt comfortable enough to even step foot in their offices for a true consultation. Not even with my husband's coaxing. None of the doctors I had researched or contacted felt quite right. So time went on, and the years continued to pass before I had the courage to get my ear fixed. Now in my 30's, I promised my husband and myself that I would conquer my fear and finally meet with a surgeon to discuss my ear and possible surgery. Dr. Mahony's website was welcoming and informative. Browsing through her blog posts, reading her biography, and seeing her active stance on empowering women / frequent community involvement, I thought I had finally found a doctor I felt comfortable with. And I was right. She was the perfect fit. Walking into her office that first day I was greeted by a friendly staff. They called in advance to confirm my appointment(s) and to walk me through the process of scheduling all of my pre and post-op visits the following weeks / months. During my initial exam I felt completely at ease discussing a physical feature that has caused nothing but emotional discomfort and negative feelings over the years. Dr. Mahony's approach was (and is) that of true and genuine compassion. Her professional resume is impressive to boot. I've had multiple surgeries over the years, and this was the first where I remembered someone holding my hand as I fell asleep. Come to find out it was Dr. Mahony herself. I went into the OR that day feeling nothing but peace, and experienced a comfortable recovery. She really took her time to answer my questions, and to explain what I should expect post-op. I will not hesitate to return to Dr. Mahony's office and care in the future, should there be a need. You would be hard-pressed to find a better plastic surgeon than Dr. Mahony! read more

My wife and I are in our 60's and we decided to explore Liposuction to rid ourselves of the mid-section fat accumulated over the years. We live an active lifestyle, eat well and exercise regularly. But despite our fitness level we wanted to look as good as we feel. After doing some research, we settled on Dr. Ellen Mahony and we are very pleased with the results. From our very first session, Dr. Mahony and her staff put us at ease and answered all our questions. After confirming that we were good candidates, Dr. Mahony described our options and outlined the process. Everything went exactly as planned and after the procedure the Doctor, or a member of her staff, was in constant communication to assure that our recovery proceeded as planned. I am extremely pleased with the results and cannot say enough about the competency and professionalism shown by Dr. Ellen Mahony and her staff. My very positive experience allow me to strongly recommend Dr. Mahony. She is simply the Best! read more

Dr. Mahony is the most unbelievably talented plastic surgeon on the planet. Forget NYC and, Miami and Beverly Hills, Westport is truly home to the greatest surgeon on the planet. Dr. Mahony performed liposuction on me approximately two weeks ago and I truly can't believe the results. Not only did she make me feel 100% comfortable and confident leading into the surgery, but has checked up on me several times since (even on the weekends). She gave me her cell if I needed anything and the one time I called she literally answered right away. I debated for over four years about getting this surgery and couldn't be happier that I finally pulled the trigger. Dr. Mahony is truly a wonderful surgeon and an amazing and caring individual. Look no further when contemplating plastic surgery. Dr. Mahony is it! read more

I recently had a breast augmentation done two months ago and I am extremely happy with the results and the care that I received pre and post op. I felt very informed going into surgery, which was important to me. Dr. Mahony and her staff are kind and professional and I would recommend her practice to anyone. Each staff member I interacted with over the past few months (including Dr. Mahony) showed interest in not only me as a patient but as a person and fellow female professional. The only reason I am placing four starts instead of five stars is simply the fact that most of my appointments had a waiting time of 15 minutes or longer, which was my only negative experience. read more

I recently had a breast augmentation done at Norwalk hospital with Dr. Mahony. My entire experience was even better than I could have imagined. Her website alone shows how committed and serious she is about patient care. The hospital as well as her staff were incredible. Her staff is always caring and friendly and answers any questions I have. My results are absolutely amazing and I couldn't be happier! I never once felt uncomfortable, and never felt uneasy about the procedure. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! read more

I so enjoyed having Dr Ellen Mahony as my surgeon. I met with her first to discuss my concerns and desires, and she gave me an absolutely no pressure consultation. Her office was charming and her staff very friendly. She listens well and was able to offer to me exactly what I wanted in a lower face/neck lift. On surgery day everything went so smoothly and the recovery time was so much quicker thanI expected. I had a similar surgery before but recovery time was so much longer. With Ellen I had no bruising and hardly any swelling at all. I am happy with the results and that I finally opted for my improved look. I recommend Ellen Mahony with five stars! read more
