“Smooth Tuck Made This Mom of 3 Feel...”

After having 3 kids via c-section in 4years, I just could not lose the weight from my stomach. I had a horrible overhang from stretched out skin. I could not NOT wear Spanx. It jiggled when I ran.

“Lipo'd and LOVING It! - Ridgewood, NJ”

I met Dr Ganchi a few years ago when I went to the emergency room after being bit on my lip by a dog. I could have been severely scarred but Dr Ganchi stitched me up like an artist at work. She was precise and patient as she worked and today you would never know that I had my lip ripped and torn by a dog. Fast forward a few years.... I found myself increasingly frustrated by the excess inches... more

I am 6 weeks post op from breast implants and liposuction on my abdomen and back. I am thrilled with my results!

“My New Body - New York, NY”

As a man I didn't think lipo was for me, but I had love handles my whole life, despite being active and in good shape. My wife got Dr Shaffer's name from a friend and the whole process was great.

“Priceless. Male in My Mid 60s - New...”

I should begin by stating that I am a male in my mid-sixties. Since most of the ages of those having similar procedures are considerably younger, it was difficult to find encouragement from people in my own age category, Therefore, I was very thorough in my investigations of a surgeon with whom I felt confident in doing this procedure. I was a performer most of my life and had kept my... more

“Dr. Shafer is AMAZING! Worth Every...”

This... more

“Dr. Ganchi Has Changed My Life! -...”

Although I am slender, I have been teased many many times about having "Fat Knees". I have always been very self conscious when wearing snug pants, a skirt above my knees or boots as my knees were so pronounced. My knees came out great and so even. Dr. Ganchi is so meticulous that even the one stitch she put below each knee was perfect. She takes total pride in her work. Words cannot describe... more

“So-So Result Abdominal Lipo - PAIN!...”

I had abdominal liposuction in 2008, tumescent. Recovery was 4 weeks in the compression garment, no drains. I felt like I'd been flayed on the inside, like my skin was reattaching to the abdominal muscles in the wrong place then ripping off, the pain was excruciating. I was 49 at the time, now 52, and if I could turn back time I wouldn't do it. Skin is sagging a bit, and stomach is... more

“Had Lipo Yesterday!”

I decided to do lipo on my tummy and flanks because no matter how much weight i lost those areas never seem to budge. Its not as bad as I thought...

On the first day I drained a bit of the fluids out and some blood of... more

I have gauze wrapped around my arms. The gauze... more
