How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I am on day 3 of recovery. I had lipo on my abdomen, flanks, inner and back thighs. My dr said she removed 4lbs of fat. After having my last baby at 37 and a hysterectomy at 38 I felt like my body was working against me. No matter how little I ate or how much I exercised nothing changed. I felt like I needed to cover my midsection all the time especially sitting bc the fat would bulge up above and below my belt. My dr requires that I wear a compression garmet 24/7 the week after surgery, so I haven't seen my body yet. But I can tell that the shape has changed.
My surgery was scheduled for 730am. I have no memory of recovery, but my husband says we were home by 1130-12. I stayed in bed most of that day and slept off the anesthesia. When I did need to get up I needed assistance and felt dizzy. Also on the first night I vomited and had trouble urinating. My vagina area was so swollen it was unrecognizable. I'm pretty sure my husband was traumatized. Lol. The compression garmet is crotchless.
Day 2 I felt better. My thighs are the most sensitive. The tummy area feels pretty numb to the touch. I was able to stand and walk alone today. I still took my pain medication on schedule. And I'm taking an antibiotic.
Day 3. I think the pain medication that is used under the skin has worn off because I had a lot of burning sensations in my tummy today. I went to a local salon and had my hair washed. I've been using wiped on my body. My mobility is increasing and in getting really anxious to see what's below the garmet.
On a side note I have had THE WORST hay fever ever upon returning home from surgery. I have sneezed non-stop and gobe through 2 boxes of Kleenex. Sneezing is no fun after lipo...
I will get my before pics from my dr and add them ASAP

Day 5 update
My 1 week visit would have fallen on Christmas Day, so I was supposed to go tomorrow for my first post surgery visit. The dr office just called and asked me to come in today because I was the only patient scheduled for tomorrow. I'm so excited to see everything. I will hopefully be posting some photos this afternoon.

Provider Review
Dr. Beckert has a great personality. His bed side manner is awesome. I actually used him before my plastic surgery on referral from my PCP to have a skin cancer removed from my foot. I would use him again. His office is small and he only had 1 nurse. You get very personal service every time.
