Boris Volshteyn, MD, MS

Dr Volshteyn is an amazing doctor! He is extremely thorough, skilled, and patient. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with lipedema or any plastic surgery. He is knowledgeable and doesn’t try to push you into anything you don’t need

Doc is great most of the time. Office staff is a problem. Needs more office staff. Manager lacks empathy ,compassion and urgency. Spoke with several other patients who have same complaints. Receptionist who answers phone is always polite and professional. However office manager treats patients as a burden

I suffer with lipedema - a fat disorder where the fat cannot be exercised or dieted away (it's debilitating and most often leads to disability). So the only treatment is liposuction. I have had the 1st of 4 surgeries with Dr. Volshteyn to address the lipedema...he did the knees to ankles area on both legs...removed about 20 litres of fluid (liquified fat) which is about 40 pounds! AMAZING...I am still in recovery, but I am about to move without the feeling of dragging sandbag legs... I'm looking forward to the rest of my surgeries as I have never felt better in my life. Dr. Volshteyn is an excellent doctor - caring...helpful...willing to go the extra mile for his patients.

My husband is 6 years younger than I am and I didn't want to look older - and now I don't!

They were very good about the right diet before the surgery, be sure to follow it.I did a breast lift and upper tummy tuck and If I were to give any advice I would stay one night in the hospital for comfort instead of keeping my friend awake with my needs.Drink tons of water and do nothing for a week. low salt soup was my friend. Also I did the oxygen chamber after and that help beyond belief.

I have always Accepted and liked the way I look.... and taken care of myself to be the best that I can be... Exercise, healthy diet, positive thinking... So, for me it was only natural to want to take care of myself cosmetically... and I just wanted to thank YOU Dr. V for making me look just like ME only healthier and a few years younger... I am one month from being 61 years young, so why should that stop me from feeling pretty and healthy?... Dr V. YOU understood JUST what I wanted to have was a natural look and that sometimes less is more... and the quick lift was just the thing for me... along with my eyes... YOU really know how to do it, and I feel just "ME" but... a little bit more glamorous! Lucky ME! Diana .....

I am very happy with my results, it does take a little time to heal but then again good things come to those who wait. My friends and family really are very supportive with my "new " me and I cant say enough good things about this place. I am planning to have a little bit more work done down the line on other areas that bother me and I cant wait to save up.

Two years ago I had tummy tuck and breast reduction performed by Dr. Vohlstyn. While I am happy with my breast reduction the tummy tuck am not happy with results, I have " dog ears" on both sides which are very uneven. While Vohlsteyn was still in Reno I told him I was not happy his reply was I gained wait and rest of care was put in the hands of his assistant. Am now in the process of finding someone to redo what Vohlstyn messed up. Needless to say I am going to a lot more careful in whom I choose this time.

I had the Quicklift procedure 8 months ago. Along with a cheek and browlift. I have been unhappy from the moment I woke up. One cheek was pulled up to my side burn area and there was a deep lateral sweep from the corner of my mouth going up to my ear. The other side of my face was barely lifted. I understand the drawbacks of the mini-lifts. My doctor states that the Quicklift is a modification of the Macs lift. More manipulation is given to the SMAS muscle. He compares the results to be almost as good as a full facelift. I am very unhappy with my Quicklift results. My face whole face is now asymmectrical. My doctor thinks I look great. I don't like the face that I have a hugh lateral sweep on the left side of my lower face and sagging skin on the right side of my face. He is willing to lift the right side with an incision around my sideburn. Pulling up in that area does lift my face....He also want to inject lipo-dessolve into the lateral sweep to flatten it out. I don't think this will work. Updated on 2 Aug 2009: Updated on 6 Oct 2009:

I chose my procedures based on my budget and my expectations. This was my first time having an elective procedure and I am very glad I did it. I will be doing more in the future to slow down that thing they call "ageing gracefully."
