Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

ABOUT ME: I am 51 and have had sculpture twice...
ABOUT ME: I am 51 and have had sculpture twice before with a derm in another state. After doing some research here, I decided on him based upon his credentials and reviews.
PROCEDURE: There's lots of punctures, so if you bruise easily, prepare for downtime. I asked him to insert needles via the side cheeks instead of front to avoid obvious bruising because I bruise badly, and he acquiesced.
BEDSIDE MANNERS: I started to feel nauseous during the procedure (2nd cheek), and he was quite accommodating: he stopped to allow me time to lie down, and he offered me water/carbonated beverage to help calm my stomach. He resumed after my nausea passed. I do have a hyperglycemia, so I often get this feeling; I don't think it was at all related to the procedure or technique. I don't remember if I had eaten breakfast that morning, and that probably is what caused it.
POST PROCEDURE: I had a lot of swelling over the following 2-3 days, but the bruising was minimal. I didn't have this amount of swelling the previous two times, but it was a minor inconvenience since I had planned for the downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER: There's lots of massaging that has to occur over the course of a full week with this procedure, and it hurts, so be prepared. Don't expect to see results for several months (after the swelling subsides). I've found this lasts about two years for me.
SATISFACTION: I am happy with the results; my cheeks are full but not overly done. If I don't find another physician closer, I will go back to him.
