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.

Like a lot of people i look for more contouring...
like a lot of people i look for more contouring and beautiful face but i always have those question runnin in to my head do i need or not. to do or not to do
so i finally decide to stop asking and start doing
i am 25 years old and my face look tired so i want to do something about it and i want contouring
i search (for along time) until i found the doctor i felt comfortable about cause i dont want to take the risk with any doctor , its my only face and i will not gamble with it
i kept looking for the best
and because i'm out of state i send them an email and the beautiful sweetheart Jody the patent coordinator respond quickly and nicely
and we set consultation appointment on 20th july
in 20th july i wake up feeling nervous and exciting, when i enter the clinic i felt comfortable everyone was very kind and i felt so welcoming
i set with the doctor and after i told him want i want he diced that i need radiesse on check and buccal fat removal and nick liposuction
the doctor have beautiful smile and what i like about him that he told me exactly what i need
they give me the total fee and i agree and sing the papers and they set pre operation appointment on 23th july
23th july
i went to the pre operation appointment and i set with jody she told me about everything i need to know and do before and after the surgery and hard copy to not forget and a cute bag with everything i need after the surgery and prescription for the medication i need to take after surgery (antibiotic,anti-inflammatory,pain killer,stool softner)
and i met the anesthesia doctor and he answer all my question and he assure me that with my medical history everything will be fine
30th july
i entered the operation room about 10 o'clock in the morning the anesthesia doctor sedit me and we start to chat together about things i don't remember, thats all what i can remember , i woke up about 12 o'clock feeling pain but not that bad, my friend drive me back to the hotel in my way my mouth start bleeding i was very Afraid , so my friend call the doctor office and they said it's normal after about 1 hour the bleeding stopped, at 4 o'clock the clinic call me to chick up on me and at 6 o'clock the doctor call me to make sure every thing is fine and he ask me if i have any question
the pain is not that bad i took pain killer just at the first tow days after that i never need it but i continue to tack the medication anti biotic ect...
(stay away from sodium) it well increase the swollen , Jody advice me to tack smoothies
for me i took the chance since that i can't eat any solid food because of buccal fat removal so i took detox clearance Juices from Nektar for three days it was really good ,after that i start to enter the solid food slowly to my diet
at the first week i felt there is little bleeding when i laugh or when i eat but after that nothing
3rd august
the follow up appointment i had 1 suture under my chin for the liposuction so they remove it and it was the first time i saw my face after the surgery , i can tell there is different but my face was swollen (more in right side) the doctor told me nothing to worry about
i had 3 follow up appointment after that to make sure everything is fine and in every time my face start to get better and better
from my searching in people reviews nick liposuction take up to 6 month for the final result while buccal fat removal take about almost 5 weeks
today is 25 august so its about one moth since i had my surgery and i am happy with the result
