Dr. Ashpole was very helpful and patient. He explained to me and my husband step by step what the process is. Mira, assistant was very helpful that she kept in touch with me about any questions I had by returning my text message right away. I felt very safe with Dr. Ashpole , and my surgery went well so far. I’m in the 1st day after the surgery. Thank you very much.
I have been getting aesthetic procedures for the last 20 years or so and have seen many plastic surgeons for consultations with occasional small procedures. I have been solely seeing Dr. Ashpole for the last 10 years and I would let any other doctor perform work on me. He has a wonderful bedside manner and has no problem saying no to me if he thinks I’m overdoing something like filler or Botox. I’ve had doctors who would have me undress and mark me endlessly with a pen telling me what I should fix and I’d leave feeling worse than when I came! Dr. Ashpole has never done that and will actually turn me away if he thinks I’m being too hard on myself. I trust him to make sure the pain is as minimal as is in his control and that he will do everything to make sure I’m safe and comfortable. He’s the best doctor I really can’t say enough. I believe in him and his work infinitely!
I have been getting Botox and have done different laser/facial services with Dr Ashpole and staff. I have been very happy with the results! Everyone is very professional, knowledgeable and skilled. I will continue coming to this office and provider and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for these services.
It was an awesome experience. I had morpheus8 done and it was spread with a month apart. The staff were very helpful and pleasant to talk to during and after the procedure. The price is very reasonable. Definitely recommended.
I had a breast augmentation done this past May. It was my first surgery ever and my first cosmetic procedure as well. I was nervous at first, but from my consultation appointment to my 6 month postop appointment, Dr. Ashpole and his staff made the experience amazing. He is a great surgeon and always took the time to listen to my wishes, concerns, questions, etc. He was very straight forward from the beginning about what to expect with the surgery and I really appreciated that. Him and his staff are all super friendly, knowledgable, and welcoming. I couldn’t be happier with my results, I feel so much more confident in my appearence now. I would 100% recommend Dr. Ashpole to anyone who is considering having a breast augmentation done.
Dr. Ashpole is amazing! He is very professional, and his work is perfection. I am only 1 month post op from a tummy tuck and lipo procedure, but I am ecstatic with the results so far. Dr. Ashpole took time to explain the entire process for my procedure, and has been here along the way making sure everything after surgery is going as planned. His staff is also amazing. I felt so comfortable around every one of them. They have been available to answer any questions I have and they never make me feel rushed. The surgery center was extremely clean and the staff there is equally wonderful. I have nothing but great things to say about this entire practice and I would recommend Dr. Ashpole for Plastic Surgery to anyone.
Overall Dr. ASHPOLE was very thorough explaining the procedure I was interested in and honest about what to expect after surgery. I’m only 1 week post op and have followed his instructions and expertise in what to do to heal properly and I’m doing great.
I had 3 Morpheus8 treatments six weeks apart. It has made a big difference in my face pores and brightness. Dr Ashpole left the numbing cream on for a full hour prior to the procedure. Saran Wrap was also used on top of the numbing cream for greater effectiveness.
Dr Ashpole and his staff are extremely friendly and professional. I've gone to him for numerous botox procedures as well as a surgical excision on my scalp and my experience has been great during every visit. I highly recommend him.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
Having my Tummy tuck with Dr Ashpole has been the best decision I made, I feel more confident of myself. The process was easy Dr Ashpole team is very friendly and they know what they are doing. My results are super. Highly recommend, Dr Ashpole is the best.
Thank you for your question. You are correct in understanding that body contouring can really only treat subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is best treated with diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. You do not need an expensive test to determine which type of fat you have. An experienced board certified plastic surgeon should easily be able to tell you this on exam. They should also be able to discuss realistic outcomes for any procedure you may desire. Hope that helps.
Based on your photographs, the small amount of fat you have could easily be treated with liposuction. As always, an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be recommended to determine this for sure. Based on your exam, one may also recommend a skin tightening procedure like Bodytite to help maximize your results. Hope that helps.
Thank you for your question. Liposuction is an excellent way to help shrink love handles. A lipoma, which is a well defined fatty "tumor", is best treated with surgical excision. It is best to visit a board certified plastic surgeon who can accurately diagnose your problem and offer you options for treatment.
Thank you for your inquiry. One certainly needs to be careful about undergoing liposuction if you have a cardiac history. The extra fluid and vasoconstrictive medicines used to limit bleeding can both cause problems if one has a cardiac condition. Your safest move is to discuss your planned procedure with your cardiologist to make sure they feel you are safe for the procedure. Also make sure you have the procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon in an accredited operating room. Hope that helps.
In general, I would recommend delaying any elective procedure until you are done breastfeeding. It is true that you can always " pump and dump". Keep in mind that not only applies to the medications that you will be receiving on the day of your procedure, but also for any medications you will be taking post procedure ( antibiotics, pain medicines). Make sure your surgeon is aware of your situation and discuss it with him/her. Hope that helps.
