He is an Amazing surgeon!! If you're wanting breast surgery, He is the boob expert 100%, Not only is he extremely experienced and talented, he also has a great bedside manner. He is fair with his cost and always has the The patient's best interest in mind. I actually had my first consult with Dr. Vanrault at Iowa plastic surgery, and let me tell you DO NOT GO THERE!! He was trying to convince me that I had to have two surgeries to have a breast lift and augmentation and told me
Dr. Eckhardt is phenomenal! I had under eye filler done and had some anxiety during the (very minor) procedure. Dr. Eckhardt was kind and patient and never once did I feel as if he had other priorities at that moment. He made sure to answer all of my questions prior to the procedure and did not try to "upsell" me with treatments that I didn't need. In fact, he talked me out of additional treatments! I appreciated Dr. Eckhardt's obvious desire for perfection and patient satisfaction.
Four years ago I had breast augmentation surgery and was recommended 500cc high profile gummy implants by the plastic surgeon. Since he was the expert I went with it. I went from a B cup to a DD and my breasts were super wide. Since then, I have felt they were too big for my taste and normally hid behind big clothes to avoid attention. When wearing regular clothes I felt awkward and bulky. Recently I decided to look into getting a much smaller implant due to my dissatisfaction.

The surgeon I chose is outstanding
I am a mom of two children I gained almost 100 lbs with my first child at 18. This resulted in saggy breasts and abdominal separation. So far I feel like my results have been amazing. The surgeon I chose is outstanding as is his staff. They have been nothing but professional and have welcomed me like family. I would highly recommend.

Tuberous Breast
My breast deformity has always bothered me, so finally decided to fix it. I am 36 years old, 5’8, 150 lbs. My husband & I have 2 children. With each pregnancy I was not able to breastfeed & they never increased in size like most women. I had 3 consultations with different plastic surgeons in our area and decided on Dr Aric Eckhardt. He was very gentle & soft spoken and seems very knowledgeable about his profession. Updated on 28 Sep 2018: Surgery was scheduled for
My first pregnancy don't do much damage to my body. First baby was small and born 3 1/2 weeks early, but she did leave me with an umbilical hernia. My second pregnancy was a whole different story! At my 6 week ultrasound he measured about 5 day small and the midwife said I must have just miscalculated my dates. By the 20 week ultrasound, he measured 2 1/2 weeks ahead. At 32 weeks, he measured 6 weeks ahead. He was 90th% for weight and my amniotic fluid level was also very high

Chubby Eyes. Moline, IL
I am still recovering and am getting antsy to get well and wonder how long it will be before the incisions are not noticeable. I had upper And lower and can see how lower is much more noticeable. I definitely do not have the time to heal completely or at least not be so obvious to others when I go back to work. This is a real bummer if you did not want to share your surgery efforts to everyone! I think I will love it when healed. My inner eyes are swollen and I guess that

I always knew I wanted breast augmentation done once I was finished having kids. I do not regret my decision as they look amazing now!! Dr. Eckhardt is awesome, he does great work! My self confidence has increased greatly since the surgery, even my husband has noticed my self confidence change :) Updated on 18 Mar 2016: Before and after pictures. The after is only one week later, one breast is higher than the other, but with time I am sure they will even out. I will post

Breast Revision with Capsular Contraction - Moline, IL
Dr Eckhardt and staff were non hurried, gave easy explanation of procedures and possible outcomes of surgery. Being a registered nurse I took my time to find the right surgeon. Dr Eckhardt was the third Physician I consulted with. I was scheduled for 2 hours of surgery. I was in surgery for 3 hours due to removal of a growth in one breast and I suspect that removal of stage 4-5 capsule is no easy task. This left the next patient scheduled for surgery waiting. I thought that
I am so excited I scheduled my tummy tuck today and it is only 5 days away. PS said that I am a pretty easy patient since I have the typical ab bulge from muscle separation after pregnacy and extra skin below that he can remove. I do not need lipo which I am glad to hear. One less procedure done is better. I am a size 10-12 now and have to wear a belt to keep pants up over muffin top and I have worn slimming undergarments since I was in my 20's. Besides having 2-pregnacies
