Alexander J. Covey, MD

I recently had my injectables done at this practice. The staff were probably the most knowledgeable and helpful I have encountered in a medical practice. Dr. Covey was direct and offered me several options, but more importantly suggest what would be the best results which honestly was refreshing and not simply another doctor trying to sell me more than what I needed. I am very happy with my results and better yet ---very pleased that I look natural and not "stiff"

I had Smartlipo done with Dr. Covey on my stomach and love handles last year and I couldn’t be happier with my results. My stomach and flanks are flatter than they’ve ever been and I feel like a new person. Dr. Covey is an amazing surgeon. From beginning to end, the entire experience was a positive one. The office is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful . Everything about the procedure was explained in advance and Dr. Covey was super patient answering all my questions in detail. I had no pain during the procedure and just a little soreness for a few days after. Dr. Covey did such a great job on my abdomen that I decided to go back for my inner and outer thighs. I just had the procedure done 3 weeks ago and I am already getting compliments from my friends. Thanks Dr. Covey!

At 42 I noticed fat loss and sagging along my cheeks and jawline. In addition, vertical lines, crows feet, and a thinning upper lip added to an overall aging look. Dr. Covey assessed my face and after applying a numbing cream injected two syringes of Voluma- 1 in each cheek, Botox between my brows, my forehead, and to my crows feet, and one syringe of Juvederm XC to my upper lip- the results are immediate and beautiful with minimal bruising and downtime.

Very pleased with how everything looks, and today I put on BB cream, mascara, and lip gloss. I feel refreshed and natural.

Picture from today, four days after Juvederm Xcode to top lip, Voluma to cheeks and Botox to forehead and crows feet.

Well, I’m not far from 44, and as a former lifeguard and sun worshipper I knew I had to step up my game. I had Dr. Covey split a vial of Voluma, half in each cheek, a vial of Juvederm Ultra Plus in my upper lip and Botox to the glabella, forehead, and crows feet. The results are subtle and beautiful.

At just about 44, I realized that it was time for a touch up with Dr. Covey. I had one syringe of Voluma split between both cheeks, Botox between the brows, forehead, and crows feet, and one syringe of Juvederm Ultra to the upper lip. I had some fairly large bruising to the right per lip but this is to be expected. I honestly could not b happier with the result, as I feel I look less tired and more refreshed.

It is still too early to really tell as I only had my first of three treatments done less than a week ago but since the swelling is all gone and the redness continues to fade, I believe I can see a slight difference so far. I really felt compelled to write a review due to the limited reviews out there for Infini.

I went a while ago to get my lips done and the stuff told me about this miracle treatment thermage which is so controversial . So the doctor did the lips and he sent a nurse to do the rest. She finished rolling a laser-kind of- all over my face in 5 min. It was hot and pinching .

As fast they rush to charge my credit card as fast they were rushing me from the office . I felt like someone stole my money. Terrible feeling. In 30min my redness came down and I was able to drive myself home. I read here some had great results but all I remember was huge regret.

The Thermage inventor should pay us back every single penny for false promise .

Usually I'd say Botox is great - but not this time. My left eyelid is drooping and it hurt. He was very aggressive and a bit rude.


Hello Dr's. I have had Botox treatments about 4 times in the past. I've never experienced a problem in the past. I went to a new Dr. and I just had it done again in my forehead, between the brows and crows feet. This doctor injected it so quickly and quite hard. For the first time it hurt and it was very aggresive. Also for the first time, my left eyelid is drooping a bit. Is this a result of bad Botox??? He said he injected almost 70 units - but I'm not sure that is the case. Can this problem be corrected or do I have to wait until the Botox wears off? needless to say, I am NEVER going to back to this Dr. again. But I am supposed to go back in a week for follow up. Should I have him fix it or just leave it alone? thanks very much.

I had smartlipo done Aug.6, 2009 on my upper & lower abs, pubic mound and upper arms. I wanted to start by thanking EVERYONE who shared their experiences on this site. It was extremely informative and I felt so much more prepared when the day of the procedure finally arrived!!

For your reference I am 29yrs old, 5'3'' and 157lbs. I've been working out for the past two years with a personal trainer.Although I still have some weight I want to lose, I do have more of an athletic build and have a good amount of muscle. However no matter how hard I work or how much weight i lose, there are just those areas that NEVER go away!!!

I arrived at my Dr.'s office around 9:45am and was given vicodin and ativan to relax me. The procedure itself began around 11:15. The Dr and his assistant were great. They explained everything they were doing as it was being done. They were also very willing to answer my millions of questions as we went along!! The Dr started by giving me a shot to numb the areas that would be the entry points for the laser. I'm not a big fan of needles, but the pain was very quick. Then the tube containing the numbing solution was put under the skin. Personally I thought this was quite painful. It didn't last very long, but there were a few spots that didn't seem to get numb so the Dr had to go over it again and again...OUCH!

Once the laser was in he pain was pretty minimal. Once in a while when he was close to my ribs it started to hurt, but the Dr continued to ask me how I felt and if it hurt he just moved the positon of the laser. After the "melting" of the fat came the suction of the fat. I thought this part was definitely uncomfortable. I did think it was neat to look at all that ugly fat being sucked out of my body!! In total I had 865cc removed. I didn't think that was that much but when I asked, my Dr said it was a significant amount and he didn't want to take out too much in fear of me having loose skin. The procedure ended around 1:15 (alot sooner than expected). The assistant (who held my hand the entire time!!!) helped wrap me up and put my compression garment on. Really it just felt like a spanx bodysuit..not too terrible. I was able to go home shortly after. My wonderful parents were waiting for me and drove me home. I felt pretty good considering what I had just gone through. I was mainly just tired.

From reading all of the reviews here, I was terrified about the drainage after I got home!!! I had prepared my house and my bed for the worst!! To my very pleasant surprise, I experienced very little drainage, and only needed the kotex pads the Dr put on the incisions when I left the office. I was given Darvocet for pain and slept for several hours when I got home. My Dr called me later that evening to check up on me...I thought this was great! Day 1 was definitely a success!!!

Day 2 felt alot more pain when I woke up. The Dr called in the morning again to check in and said I would feel worse today because all the numbing fluid was out. Although it hurts, the pain is certainly NOT unbearable. I took a shower(with assistance from my mother...would NOT recommend doing it alone the first time) and I even went for a walk (slowly). I've been taking the pain pills every 4 hrs today, but hope I can switch over to just tylenol by tomorrow.

I'm still very swollen so I really can't see any difference yet.

I'm so excited that I did this and am even happier that the recovery has been way better than I could've imagined!! Hopefully soon I'll be able to see some good results!!!

It's been 1 month already and I still have pain. I also am swollen. I had my abs and flanks done.

I spent all this money and I don't know what to do. Should I get another opinion???? Please help. Now my MD wants to sent me for a MRI to see if I have health issues. I had clearance from my primary MD and believe me I am in good health. Anyone have any comments -- please help!
