Very Pleased with my Results by Dr Joel Shanklin
I am very pleased with my results by Dr Shanklin (Savannah, GA). I had a MMO and liposuction in two areas. I'm currently 23DPO and his post care is amazing. If you are on the fence I would highly recommend you do it. He is a GREAT PS takes his time in explaining and makes you more comfortable. His staff is equally amazing. I have ZERO REGRETS and highly recommend this PS if you are looking to have cosmetic surgery. v/r LaQuyin
Love you Dr. Shanklin!!
Dr. Shanklin and his staff were beyond AMAZING. They answered all of my questions and were very thourough. I felt so comfortable with his staff. I was able to try on A LOT of different implant sizers until I decided which one was perfect for me. They were always available to answer any and all of my questions. I love how tiny my waist is after my vaser liposuction and LOVE my perky breasts after my augmentation!! Can’t wait to get into my new bikini!! Price was worth every penny

Loving the Results - Savannah, GA
I was not an easy case in the end. I was given lipo,buttocks augmentation, and tummy tuck. It has been a long recovery because of how much was done and time it has taken to heal. Was it worth it? I look great and I still have more recovery to do! In another six weeks I do not know if I will be able to stand myself. Thanks to Dr. Shanklin and his staff I look great! I am getting my sexy back!!!!

Breast Lift with Implant Removal - Savannah, GA
Dr. Joel Shanklin did a wonderful job on my implant removal with breast lift. The procedure was done in office and I was able to go home in a few hours. He and his staff are professional and very kind. When I had questions, my phone calls were returned within a few hours or less. So far, I am very happy with the way I look and some of my back pain seems to have gone away.

Decided to Get the TT Done! Any Advise? - Savannah, GA
I'm 37 yrs old I have three children 17,16,and 14. I'm a Army wife of 19 yrs,I had a terrible c section with my first child.. the military is not who you want doing any sort of surgery. Long story short after a long recovery from a hysterectomy with wound vac..not fun. I recently found out I have a hernia in my lower abdomen area NO surprise, after 2 surgeons refused to refer me for a tummy tuck to prevent future issues they wanted to put MESH thru my abdomen wall..that's when
6 Days Post-Op - Savannah, GA
To start off I am a white 24 year old single mother of a wonderful 2 year old. I'm 5' 6" and 147 lbs. I have always been teased about having a "flat ass" by my friends, family, and the occasional stranger. I started doing research online about 2 months ago and came across the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. I made an appointment for a free consultation with Dr. Shanklin just to ask all the basic questions about the procedure and the pricing. The price for the operation is $5,500

My experience is so terrible
My experience is so terrible that there isn’t enough space here to write. I went under 4x for the same issue of fat migration to the hips & he couldn’t get it done correctly. Before going in I told him to Renee to reshape my butt & He said yes, it wasn’t done. My stomach is lapsided, my arm lipo wasn’t done & it’s not about liters of fat. Terrible staff mainly patricia valdes who is a liar, I called her out & since then I’ve been discriminated against. I’m currently
