I had the pleasure of having Kathryn perform Botox on me a couple weeks ago. She is incredibly talented and did an excellent job! I feel like she took ten years off my face! She is also very kind and made me smile the whole time I was with her.
I would 100 percent encourage you to visit Dr. Diehl’s office for any cosmetic needs that you have! You won’t be disappointed!
Response from Dr. Cynthia Diehl, MD Thank you for your kind words about your experience!
Wonderful Experience. I recently had a Diamond Glow Facial treatment. I am new to the area, and have had these particulate treatments in other states. My experience at Dr. Diehl’s Clinic was a wonderful one. From the ladies at the front desk, to Heather, my aesthetician. Heather was informative, answered my questions and concerns with suggestions and a thorough treatment plan for my skin concerns. I will definitely return for further treatments and recommend this practice to friends and family.
Response from Dr. Cynthia Diehl, MD Thank you for your kind words about Heather! We cannot wait to see you again soon!
10/10 Would Definitely Recommend Dr. Diehl’s Office and Staff Love Dr. Diehl and ALL her staff. So friendly and welcoming. I’ve been coming here for several years already and love the Thermiva results that I get. I’ve done the cooltone several years ago. Loved that. I’ve had Botox on my upper lip, loved that. And I’m getting lip fillers today. I’ll share that experience later lol.. before and after pics as well.10/10 would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing! I recently had a lip flip at Deihl’s Plastic Surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The all-female staff was professional, welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. My lips look beautifully enhanced yet natural, and I highly recommend them!

Life Changing! Labiaplasty
23 days post-op
I don't even know where to start! Dr. Diehl is the BEST! From the consultation, scheduling the procedure, and getting the procedure done- it was all a breeze! I was so happy that Dr. Diehl offers labiaplasty under local anesthesia (yes I was awake, and it was easier than going to the dentist). I was offered Xanax and laughing gas for my procedure but declined both since I felt so comfortable and at home with her and her staff. She talked me through the entire procedure so I knew what was going on each step of the way, which was crazy since it was SO fast. They apply topical numbing, then inject numbing, and the only thing I felt the entire procedure was one little pin poke. After the procedure, I drove myself home! If you are even debating on getting a labiaplasty- Dr. Diehl is the BEST! I'm forever grateful for Dr. Diehl and her amazing staff for changing my life. I have never felt better physically or emotionally than I do now.

Drastically improved my quality of life. Labiaplasty
28 days post-op
I had an amazing experience with my labiaplasty by Dr. Diehl. Everyone in the office is so warm and friendly and it made me feel so comfortable. I'm so glad I chose them and elected to have the procedure because it has drastically improved my quality of life.
Gave Me More Confidence! Chin Liposuction
3 months post-op
Dr. Diehl did an amazing job! I can’t recommend her enough. I have always been insecure about my chin so I finally decided to get lipo on that area. She consulted me and gave me reasonable expectations but my results have been better than I could imagine. Treatment was fast and professional and they were available whenever if I had any questions. If I have any other cosmetic needs, I will definitely be back!
I Am Having a Great Experience with Diehl Plastic Surgery in Raleigh! Labiaplasty
24 days post-op
Love Dr. Diehl and all her staff. I've had a labiaplasty and the O-shot, both painless and very effective. Also, the BioTe HRT pellet has balanced my hormones, so that I have more energy than I've had in several years! I will also be getting Pixel microneedling and the YAG erbium laser for acne scars and wrinkles on my face and neck. Dr. Diehl and her PA's Ashley & Savannah are knowlegable and very responsive to your questions. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to improve their bodies.
Response from Dr. Cynthia Diehl, MD Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so happy that you have had a good experience with our providers! Hope you will continue to come see us!
Really happy with my results and the overall experience Tummy Tuck
5 months post-op
Dr. Diehl (deal) is awesome - she has a super outgoing personality, puts you at ease, and is talented.
I just had my 5 month post-op and I’m really happy with my results and the overall experience! I’m in my mid 30s, never had kids, and no amount of exercise would get rid of my big and uneven tummy. The doctor spent over an hour with me during my consultation to carefully examine my body, answer all my questions, and show me tons of before and after pictures of women with similar body and skin texture as mine. This is super important - skin tone, texture, color, and experience is key to have a realistic and clear understanding of what you can expect. Dr. Diehl was very clear about what my scar would look like and gave me options for trade offs. Her candor, options, and never pressuring me made me ultimately go with her. (Besides her credentials and awesome personality! Hey - you want to like your doctor!)
Oh! And I appreciate that I wasn’t told to decide and pay that day. I’ve been to doctors that say this and it’s such a turn off. This is a huge and expensive experience. Dr. Diehl and her staff never pressured me!
Some key tips for anyone considering a tummy tuck:
- get a recliner. You’ll never regret it. Promise.
- give yourself a lot of patience and grace. It took me 4 weeks before I was standing straight
- don’t get discouraged. I was nervous I was healing slower than others I’ve seen on YouTube. And maybe that will happen. That’s ok. It’s key to listen to your body and your doctor.
- buy 3-4 spanx things. You’ll quickly hate the one you’re given lol. And you’ll need a smaller size before you know it!
- lastly, if you’re considering Dr. Diehl - schedule a consultation! She and her staff are fabulous!
Response from Dr. Cynthia Diehl, MD Thank you for your kind words! Hope we see you again soon!
