If You Want Lipo - Go See Dr. Butterwick!
I have had liposculpture three times with Dr. Butterwick and have had an excellent experience every time. The areas where I had liposculpture were upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and an area called supra pubis which is right below the lower abdomen. I have never had any issues healing, and have been happy with my results. The facility where the lipo is performed has an operating room which is really important to me. Everything is very professional and Dr. Butterwick will make

A-Amazing! Dr Butterwick is an artist and a doctor...she took a very difficult abdomen challenge and gave me a flat tummy with liposculpture...her staff is caring and helpful and Dr Buttlerwick has a way of listening and giving you an incredible result...as a side benefit...just the freedom to move easier and feel lighter has been an incredible experience...I'm a senior client...so I wasn't sure what the results might be or if I was a good candidate but I felt I was in good hands...I

Awesome experience
Dr. Butterwick is awesome. I was able to talk to her about my concerns and offered the best solution for me. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed during my visit. I'm looking forward to my next visit :)

25 Year Old Midsection Regained!
I always had a perfect waist and back until I didn't! Around 50, the muffin top slowly appeared. I have always worked out and done the best I can, however, at the age of 67, I finally decided this is it! I would have to be way too skinny, lose that butt I work so hard for and age my face to lose anything around that middle. I can only say, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" Dr. Butterwick has been my dermatologist for years and I trust her implicitly. Made the appointment
Best Doctor - San Diego, CA
Went in to see Dr Butterwick because I heard wonderful things about her and her experience as an injector. I was looking to treat volume loss and ugly sagging in my nasoglabiel folds. I was thinking some form of filler. She suggested sculptra which gives an ncrease in collagen overtime. Wow am I glad I went to her. She was right. I was uncertain about fillers but the thought of subtle improvement overtime really made me feel better , and I love the way it is

59 and Happy with Fillers! - La Jolla, CA
I'm 59 and noticed deeper wrinkles around mouth and under cheeks. I was skeptical about fillers especially around mouth and lip area. Dr Butterwick did an awesome job with fillers. Taking her time and asking questions about what I was trying to achieve. After each injection she asked me to look to see if I wanted more. Only downside is fillers don't last very long and it's expensive to keep up!
A wonderful experience
I've had a great experience so far with Dr. Butterwick. So far I've had two appointments, a consultation and the first IPL treatment, and both times Dr. Butterwick has been understanding of my concerns and eased any discomfort I had. She was thorough in explaining what my treatment would be, and since I have a combination of skin issues to deal with, she also explained what the next step would be should the first plan of action not treat everything.
