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.

three weeks post-op and feeling good
My breasts continue to soften and settle, losing some of their torpedo shape. I like the size they are now, so it will be a little painful to see more volume go but I know that is likely.
The bruising on the lipo'd areas is almost gone, though there is still soreness. i've begun massage on my legs, which helps alleviate this.
Things are settling down quite nicely on my face, with the exception of two small but stubborn lumps. i'm looking less freakish and more natural as time goes by.

compression garment redux
Just received a message from Sylvia, Dr. B's wife. She was concerned that I wasn't wearing the compression garment at night and stressed the importance of wearing it 24/7 for four weeks. Rats. While there are several plastic surgeons who claim that it makes no difference in the long run, I will follow Dr. B's instructions and wear it for the required two more weeks like a good little lipo patient. :)
15 days post fat transfer--so far, so good
Things are getting easier all around and I'm feeling much better. I'm still sore in the lipo areas (though more so in the morning) and the bruising is mostly gone. The bruising on my breasts is gone completely, and they have settled and softened somewhat. My face still looks a little weird but not so much that I can't go out.
Saw Dr. B before I left NC and he said the lumps and bumps I have here and there in the lipo'd areas are normal and will resolve over time. He was very pleased with my progress so far and feels that the final result will be excellent.
Still sleeping with my head elevated, and no,I don't wear the compression garment at night. Just can't relax with it on in bed. Keeping my fingers crossed that it won't matter. I do wear snug lycra workout pants during the day. talked to a girlfriend who had lipo and her doc said to use a rolling pin on her legs to smoothe out the skin! Sounds silly but I just might try it.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
439 N. Wendover Rd., Charlotte, North Carolina
I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Dr. Bednar is a true artist who really understands anatomy, as well as being patient, kind, reassuring, and committed to excellence. This man wants his patients to be happy with their results. He and his lovely wife and patient coordinator, Sylvia, along with the anesthesiologist and nurses made this experience the best it could possibly be.
