Benson Pulikkottil, MD

From my very first consultation to my post-op appointments, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I had an abdominoplasty with liposuction a couple of weeks ago, and choosing Dr. Pulikkottil was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He goes above and beyond in every way possible. From day one, he has been incredibly present, attentive, and genuinely invested in my care. He answered every single question I had, never made me feel rushed, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. His bedside manner is exceptional! He is kind, patient, and reassuring. I am extremely, extremely happy with my results! Not only is he an incredibly talented surgeon, but his entire team is just as wonderful. They are professional, supportive, and truly care about their patients. I always felt heard, respected, and taken care of.I cannot thank him enough for the care, skill, and dedication he put into my surgery. If you are considering surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend him. You will be in the best hands.

From the first meeting I was confident that Dr Pulikkottil was a skilled and thoughtful surgeon and one I immediately trusted. He is a perfectionist and committed to excellence no doubt. I'm happy I chose him for my MyEllevate and chin lipo procedures. I'm still not fully recovered but can already see an amazing transformation in my profile and I'm so happy I did the procedure and chose this surgeon. His lymphatic massage therapist is equally committed to excellence and made my recovery process a better experience.

Amazing concierge experience! My results are far beyond what I expected. Dr. Benson treated me excellently before surgery and every visit after surgery. Eased my anxiety and walked me through every step. The facility is beautiful and The staff is amazing and supportive.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Benson Pulikkottil for my breast augmentation. He listened to all my concerns and never pressured me to go bigger than I wanted. His approach was professional, thoughtful, and personalized to my body and goals. The results are natural, flattering, and exactly what I envisioned. From consultation to recovery, Dr. Pulikkottil and his team were attentive, supportive, and reassuring. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering breast augmentation — he truly combines skill, artistry, and genuine care.

Dr. Pulikkottil is incredibly knowledgeable and cares immensely for his patients. He is a true subject-matter expert and as someone who underwent a major procedure for the first time eased all of my concerns/worries. He makes sure to set realistic expectations and is transparent throughout the entire process. I knew I was in the right hands under Dr. Pulikkottil’s care and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Pulikkottil is kind, intelligent, professional, and experienced. He and the team at La Vie made me feel comfortable and cared for from start to finish. They develop curated plan from consultation through recovery and the care they provide is top tier. Surgery and recovery can be a difficult and vulnerable time but he and his team go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. He did an excellent job with my surgery and I love the results! I am so grateful for Dr. Pulikkottil and the team at La Vie Institute, I would highly recommend them!

LaVie institute is an amazing facility with phenomenal staff. Everyone is super friendly, caring, and professional. I had both Botox and HALO done and Benson is an amazing doctor. He and his staff listened to my concerns, provided great service, and followed up after to ensure I was happy with the results. I highly recommend both LaVie and Dr. P for any of your needs.

I was treated like family from the time I called LaVie to make an appointment for a consultation until the time I walked out after my procedure and halo laser treatment (shout out to Nikki!). Meeting Dr. Pulikkottil was like catching up with an old friend. He is super personable and made me feel comfortable all throughout my experience at the LaVie Institute. Dr. P is also incredibly educated, intelligent, and skilled in not only cosmetic surgery but plastic surgery of all kinds. Did you know he helps burn victims and was even able to reconstruct a man’s nose and face after he was attacked by a grizzly bear?? You will not find a more qualified doctor for all of your cosmetic surgery needs. Thank you, Dr. Pulikkottil!

I had surgery to repair previous issues from two organ donor surgeries. Having known Benson for years, there was nobody else I would trust with my procedure. The outcome was better than I could have imagined, and I'm so glad I went to The LaVie Institute. All of my previous scar tissue was removed, and I feel like a new person! I can't say enough great things about Benson, and the entire staff.

I recently had an upper bleph done by doctor Pulikkottil and I could not be happier! He was extremely professional and listened to all my concerns and my eyes came out perfect! The recovery was even easier than I could imagine. They offered lymphatic massage and creams, tips and check ins at every stage. I felt completely cared for. Now I am 3 weeks out and my eyes are big and bright. I have lost 10 years at least in my face. 10/10 would recommend this to everyone I know!
