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 Love my results! You name it I tried it...

I Love my results! You name it I tried it crossfit, running, dietician, personal trainer, numerous diet bets.I would lose weight yes but my thighs were here TO STAY and I was STUCk inside. The swelling/brusing is slowly dissapearing and I keep being amazed at how my body looks like now. I initially was only going to get a lipo on my thighs/ knees but then considered getting my flanks as well which is the backfat that would ooze out of the back of my pants lol. Best.decision.ever. Everyone including myself thinks I got a buttlift as well only bc my butt looks perky and lifted and rounded. I guess that's what was hiding underneath all the fat. I'm shy of 3 months and I will be running my 4th Bix next weekend. I have started training after 8 weeks after surgery and I feel light as a feather and my running time has never been better unlike before I would be out of breath bc my thighs were sooo heavy. Also Dr. Van Raalte suggested I try to have a healthier diet to maintain the good results. I joined a weight loss program and have lost an additonal 5 pds. Again thank you!
Things i highly recommend :
1.make a list of questions you need answered BEFORE you meet the Dr.I had a different set of questions at each meeting
2. Compressions socks and spanx get those Before surgery. WAL MART i had to order the socks bc they don't have them in stores
3. One of those plastic toilets to put on top of your toilet..Trust me bending/squatting to use the loo was a hoot.
4. PILLOWS. To elevate feet and to help me sleep sideways.
5.Expect to feel uhmazing leaving the facility as I did but the toughest days are 2,3 you will feel it make sure to have someone with you.
6. Plan ahead with work. I had only requested 7 days off of PTO that I had available but then had to take 3 additonal unpaid days. Trust me. At LEAST 2 full weeks off if you can get 3 better and do expect someone to drive you to work for the first week.
7. You will be obnoxious/annoying to your family that will have to help you with everything including getting you into the shower. Be nice, be grateful, buy them lunch

GOOD LUCK! I hope your journey is as positive as mine has been?

Be prepared with a list of questions he answers honestly even though it might not always be the answer you want. He's there to be your doctor to do what he is trained and experienced in doing not to be your bff. You should already have one of those. Should. You Should.
