Benson Pulikkottil, MD

Dr. Pulikkottil is absolutely unmatched!! From his charisma to the incredible results he achieves, I have yet to meet another surgeon like him. I refer all of my friends, family and clients to receive the best health and aesthetic care at LaVie!

I did some research and ended up going with LaVie Institute for some "aging woman" issues and I am so glad I did. Everyone from start to finish was professional, super knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I will absolutely recommend Dr. Pulikkottil and his entire office to friends and family in search of great care. Thank You!

Dr. Pulikkottil understood exactly how I envisioned my new self and brought that vision to life beautifully. He took the time and care to ensure I would be truly happy with the results, and I am! He did an incredible job replacing my implants with ones that perfectly complement my physique.
I’m on my 12th week and I look and feel absolutely AMAZING! I can’t thank him and his staff for helping me get past my fear of going through such major reconstructive surgery. Their comfort and support throughout the whole process felt truly genuine. I’m beyond grateful and would highly recommend LaVie Institute to anyone considering reconstructive surgery.

LaVie Institute and Dr. Pulikkottil are everything a patient could hope for- welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and proficient. So grateful for the staff and surgeons and their expertise. Definitely recommend.

Dr Pulikkottil is by far the best of the best in his practice. He is extremely knowledgeable, and has a warm, comforting, and friendly demeanor. I had an amazing experience not only with him, but the staff at Lavie. I would highly recommend The Lavie Institute to anyone looking to have cosmetic procedure(s) done. Thank you Dr. Pulikkottil for being an amazing Doctor, and a beautiful person!

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Pulikkottil to anyone considering cosmetic surgery to achieve their aesthetic goals. I personally underwent both upper and lower eyelid surgery as well as labiaplasty, and from the very first consultation, Dr. Pulikkottil made me feel at ease—no small feat given how personal and intimate the procedures were.

What stood out most was his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible results. He even took a bit more time during my surgery to ensure everything was done to the highest standard, which truly reflects his dedication to excellence.

Equally important was his continued care after the procedures. He made himself available to answer my post-operative questions and was always supportive and responsive. It’s clear that patient care is a top priority for him.

The results have exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful to have made the decision to go through with the surgeries and to have chosen Dr. Pulikkottil.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible team at LaVie Institute. It was truly a team effort, and every staff member I interacted with was professional, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process.
Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Pulikkottil and the LaVie Institute to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and results-driven surgical team.

Dr.Pulikkottil did my breast lift and the implant as well. I had lots of anxiety about my breasts looking good and was unsure about doing both at the same time or separate surgery’s. We discussed that during surgery he would have full discretion on how to proceed and I am so happy with his decision, he understood exactly what I wanted and needed.

During this whole process Dr.Pulikkottil , Celina and Liz were absolutely wonderful with me. They reached out checking on me and helping with any questions or concerns I had. They have been very welcoming and helpful.

Overall I would recommend going to see Dr. Pulikkottil and his team if you would like exceptional support and results. My breasts look absolutely amazing at 5 weeks. I have a bit more recovery ahead but I am absolutely satisfied with the results. I am so lucky to have worked with Dr. Pulikkottil and his team!

Great experience from the beginning with my consultation to my post op! Dr. Pulikkottil really understood what I wanted and knew what was best for me to achieve my results! I would definitely recommend.

Great experience with Dr. Pulikkottil. The whole crew was amazing and made the experience so comfortable and stress free. Everyone knew what they were doing an were always there to answer any questions I had about the procedure. Very attentive after surgery as well as was always checking in. Definitely recommend!!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the amazing work done by Dr. Benson Pulikkottil and the entire team at LaVie Institute. After losing over 100 pounds, I was left with significant excess skin that made me feel embarrassed and self-conscious, especially when it came to being seen naked or wearing a swimsuit. But thanks to the tummy tuck and breast lift I had in late March, I feel like a completely new person!

Dr. Pulikkottil was the absolute best throughout the entire process. I trust him completely with my health and well-being. His expertise and attention to detail gave me the confidence I needed to undergo this life-changing procedure. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, I felt supported and reassured every step of the way.

The results have exceeded my expectations! I’m finally flat, and I feel like I have the body I was always supposed to have. The confidence I’ve gained has been priceless, and I now feel so much more comfortable in my own skin.
