Best Decision I Have Ever Made - New York

Brazilian Butt Lift
I have had several consultations with many doctors about this procedure and none of them and I mean none compared to Dr.Pakeman and his staff ! When I first started to make calls to find out more about this procedure I called several places and none of the people I have spoken to educated me so much about this procedure and they weren't persistent what so ever ! Dr. Pakeman took his time to answer all of my questions! Day of surgery the assistants and Dr.pakeman were so attentative and one of them even held my hand lol! I highly recommended Dr. Pakeman he is a great doctor and definitely knows what he is doing , detailed , very kind an very patient ! :-)
I Want Smooth Legs with Cellulaze- New York, NY

Cellulaze
I had the cellulite treatment this afternoon,I was bit scared when I walked in the office but the Doctor and his staff were very supportive and caring. The procedure took a little longer than I expected however I was explained that I had some really stuborn areas that required additional time. I would recommend this procedure to just about any one that is suffering with cellulite and I said suffering because it affects the selfsteem. Dr. Pakeman was very sweet and made sure I was comfortable thru out the entire treatment what I really liked about the entire experience was the fact I was not in any kind of pain during or after, I walked out of the office feeling ok. My husband couldn't believe how comfortable and aware I was right after having surgery. Some staff members were joking with my husband and reminded him how concern he was about me doing Celullaze, well ladies and gents my husband made an appointment with Dr. P. He wants to have his love handles taken care of. How about that ! I'm feeling a little sleepy now but I will keep you posted on my recovery. Thank you Dr. and staff you made this nervous Nelly very comfortable and relaxed ! See you tomorrow. Sophie

Cellulaze
I was taken care of from A to Z . Dr. P. called me the evening after the procedure to make sure I was comfortable and to remind me to take my medicines,the following morning I went to see him. On friday one of his office staff called me to check up on me and to remind me the importance of staying active, but not to work out yet ! They realized I'm a "gymaholic". It's been a week after my treatment and my legs already look really good ! Very very happy !

Had my consult with Dr. Pakeman earlier this month. The wait time was great, his staff is amazing!!!! Most pleasant staff I have ever encountered, so real and down to earth and took their time with me. Dr. Pakeman also answered all of my questions and I have no doubt he's the right doctor for me. I scheduled my Smart Lipo for June 6th so I will keep everyone posted. I am so excited!

I gave him an excellent rating because: he answered all of my questions and I never felt as though he was trying to rush me, he spent a decent amount of time with me, there was almost no waiting time to be seen, the staff was very professional and nice, the amount of after care follow up visits were reasonable and it was just a pleasant overall experience.

Don't let the fact that because Dr. P is a board certified opthamologist fool you. He is also a board certified surgeon and specializes in cosmetic oculofacial surgery as well as liposurgery, which contributes to his skills in minimally evasive cosmetic surgery techniques, which in turn facilitates a quicker recovery time with little or no scarring.

Brazilian Butt Lift
They are very professional throughout the procedure, they answered every question I had, I go to all my appointments post op and they check my weight and tell me whats expected, they are very courteous and your in and out of your appointments your not waiting anymore then 10 mins tops to see the Doc or any assistants. First let me say that i love all the workers in Dr. Pakesman office. Every time I go for post op visits I always feel at home and they speak to me like were friends and they tell you the truth about things. They don't just tell you what they think you want to hear. They tell what you need to know so that everything can go well and you can use your surgery to your full potential. When I first went for my consultations Dr. Pakeman and Louisa told me everything I needed to know I didn't have to ask too many questions they pretty much answered every concern I needed to know. The day of the surgery I was a bit nervous but the assistance were there the whole time asking me how I'm feeling and what they were doing they were really caring. Right after surgery they told me everything I needed to know and how to take care of my self. I just didn't take it too serious and kept eating the wrong foods so Louisa told me I really need to take it seriously and she was right I spent too much money and I look great to not have the full potential look and thanks to Dr. Pakeman, Louis and the rest of the staff I am finally happy with my self I have way more confidence before and looking at my before and after pictures there is a big difference..... Thank you !!

Perfect 10 - New York, NY
Posted by makeover K
Prior to the BBL I was shaped like a young girl. I now have the body of a sexy young woman, It's an amazing experience how your confidence level can help in all areas of life. Dr Pakeman explained in detail the procedure and also my expectations ,being that I was 121 lbs my booty size was limited. He did say that he could create a shape for me that it would look a lot bigger and perkier . I give him a perfect score of 10 . If your not a big woman and you don't like the shape of your butt , don't get discourage this Doctor creates beautiful shapes for all kinds of women big and small . It's just like he says " it's about the shape, not the size " Respectfully yours, Kell
Hips and Booty Are a Girls Best Friend - Manhattan, NY

Brazilian Butt Lift
At a family function one of my cousins walked in looking absolutely stunning with a perfect hour glass figure, I had always had a bigger booty and she was FLAT very square shape, and now I was the square one. She gave me his card and the rest is history. Dr. Pakeman is a skilled surgeon he has and eye for perfection and does not waste time in explaining his vision. He gave me a lesson on women's shapes and the roll it plays when choosing the right shape for the buttocks, and how the hips are the frame of the booty. I consider myself and educated successful woman and I had done a lot of research, I had met several other surgeons prior to meeting Dr. Pakeman with very impressive photos and good,reputations and I felt ok. when I met Dr. Pakeman it was clear to me he's been doing this for a very long time and had the information fresh, he automatically gave me the break down on my body. Thank you Doctor Pakeman for transforming this average woman into a fabulous woman. THANK YOU, Rosa V.

My best friend had her fat transfer with Dr. Pakeman and I loved her results. Her neighbor had her BBL done with Dr. Pakeman as well, I saw her photos and I was really impressed. This is no rookie Doctor ! Thank you Dr. Pakeman and staff. I had my fat transfer seven months ago, I look and feel beautiful and sexi. Shopping for a good surgeon can be overwhelming and scary I am really glad I came to you . You know your stuff and you get right every time. My BFF looks amazing too, we will send a postcard from Carnival.

Look at my photos 3 years later after liposculpture with fat transfer to butt and hips. I have brought to Dr. P my two sisters and my best friend. He gave me the confident I needed. I recommend this Doctor, I had met 4 other Doctors prior to Dr. Pakeman and he clearly knew what was right for me. If your looking for a beautiful body this is your guy. Quality and long lasting results is what he has given my sisters and myself. I give him 5 stars

I was impressed on how warm and approachable Dr. P is. He makes sure you understand the after care and he gave me his cell phone number in case I needed to speak with him that evening. I was also called by one of his staff members to make sure I was doing good. I'm really happy I got it done. Thanks Dr. P
