I am just finishing up another implant and still very impressed with Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff. They are all very professional, well organized, and competent. The pricing is reasonable and they are customer oriented.
Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff are exceptional! From the moment I first called with all of my questions, through my pre op, operation,and post op visits he and his staff have provided the best and most personalized care. Dr. Dhaliwal takes the time to make any and all concerns/questions a priority to answer thoughtfully and respectfully. I'm so glad I chose him and will enthusiastically recommend him every time.
Before my treatment, during the consultation, Dori my esthetician and Ali, the Representative from Ultherapy were amazing! They answered all my questions, addressed my areas of concern, Ali advised and interjected with suggestions to Dori on treating my problem areas. They were both very knowledgeable and courteous, I felt no pressure to buy the treatment. On the day of my treatment, Dori was very conscious of my discomfort level, we talked again on areas of my concern and she focused on those along with the rest of my face and neck. I had minimal bruising afterward, the pain was on the muscle level which meant a great response from my skin and collagen. I would highly recommend the treatment, Adara Institute in Issaquah, WA and Dr. Dhaliwal and Dori for all skincare procedures.
Dori makes this treatment externally comfortable. I am so happy with my results. There was no down time and although the dr told me three months to see results. I could see a more defined jawline in a week. My pictures look great and I no longer have drooping cheeks and a double chin. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Dori at Adara Surgical institute. It’s a wonderful family oriented clinic where they take extra good care of their guests. Updated on 1 Aug 2019: Trying to add more pics. I can’t add comments. There is a before front facing pic in the office, a few after in office pics, and then a few pics from friends. I am mostly happy with how my own pics look, I don’t have to worry about my double chin popping up if I tip my head down.
My experience with Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff was excellent! They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The result from my dental implant was great.. no complaints. Also noting that the office and operating rooms are incredibly clean. I also found it nice that they do everything from the consultation to the procedure at the same place. I've experienced other procedures where they send you to a foreign location from where you had your original consultations.
After having four babies (over a 9 year period) I was left with severe stretch marks and excess skin... and that was just on the surface. What you couldnt see, but I could feel, was internal damage to my abdominal muscles and fascia. So I needed a tummy tuck and abdominal reconstruction. I chose Dr. Dhaliwal to perform these procedures becaus after meeting with him and his staff, I instantly felt comfortable - they were very friendly and knowledgeabe and made me feel at ease. The surgery went very well. Dr. Dhaliwal was very attentive, thorough, and accessible throughout the entire process, including during multiple post-operative checkups. At first, I was hesitant to go through with the surgery, but I am very happy I did. And I am absolutely thrilled with the results! I highly recommend his services without hesitation.
-Procedure Details- Breast augmentation 460cc High Profile Natrelle silicone gel implants Subpectoral/Submuscular placement Transaxillary incision I had a breast augmentation done by Dr.Dhaliwal and overall it was an amazing experience. I had been looking into and planning this procedure for approximately 15 years, searching for both a facility and surgeon I was comfortable with. I could not be happier that I ultimately chose to go forward with the process with Dr.Hardeep Dhaliwal. What sets Dhaliwal apart from other surgeons is his dedication, demeanor and the pride he takes in the work that he does. Dr.Dhaliwal is an amazingly skilled individual. He holds himself to a very high standard and has a great passion for his work. He works very hard to ensure each and every patient is absolutely thrilled with their results. He works very closely with his patients and is very accommodating in addressing any needs and concerns they may have before and after the procedure. Dhaliwal has a great bedside manner and is eager to answer any and all questions you may have regarding your procedure and quell any concerns you may have. He also has a relaxed, yet professional attitude. He's very easy to get along with and discuss the details of your procedure with. He will give his opinions along with his reasons and great detail as to how he believes things should be done, but he's not pushy. At the end of the day it's up to you to decide what you will be happy with. He is very realistic when discussing goals with patients as to what can and can not be accomplished. He's also very flexible in coming up with a plan that incorporates both his expertise and the desires of the patient. He does very neat, clean work from the incisions he makes and their location, to the suturing he finishes with. He approaches his work not simply from a scientific mindset, but an artistic one as well. I could not be more pleased with my experiences with him and my results. I would gladly utilize his talents and skills in the future and recommend him to others every chance I get.
I absolutely love my new, refreshed and youthful appearance thanks to Dr. Hardeep Dhaliwal!! I'm a happy and energetic 58 year old mother and grandmother who has always felt young and healthy. Over the years I have noticed that my neck has become crepey and saggy . I stopped wearing my necklaces and replaced them with scarves and high collar shirts. I finally decided to research my options when I heard about Dr. Dhaliwal and I had the chance to peruse his 'before and after' patient portfolio. I was truly astounded and amazed at the beautiful transformations . Upon receiving a thorough pre op consultation with Dr. Dhaliwal , I knew that I was in GREAT hands! I take this decision very seriously. My post op care from Dr. Dhaliwal and his team has been supportive and assuring and my recovery has been quicker then I imagined. A procedure like this requires a highly skilled and competent surgeon. I trust and recommend Dr. Hardeep Dhaliwal without hesitation. As a side note, my dear husband of 36 years thinks I look, "radiant" and , "at least 20 years younger!" I certainly feel amazing and I'm so glad I did this.....and I'm really glad I didn't give my necklaces away.
Best decision I've ever made for myself. Dr. Dhaliwal preformed my Breast Augmentation. I am a mother of 2 and breastfed both of my babies and it took a toll on my breasts. Dr. Dhaliwal was so caring and knowledgeable through the whole process. It was a quick procedure and recovery was better than I thought. I have referred many friends to him and they all are so happy as well! Thank you Dr. Dhaliwal!
So far, just initial consult. After consulting with several surgeons, I chose Athenix in Bellevue. Some doctors have said I would not be happy with the skin only mini-tuck, but I dont mind a belly!! It does not have to be flat, I Just dont want the hanging pouch gone!! If anyone has any feedback on that then let me know. Otherwise.... I nervously await March. Updated on 29 Dec 2014: I can't update pics. I posed a question and some REALLY REALLY odd-angled unflattering pics, and I dont even look like that anymore. But I'm still getting emails every time someone wants to voice their opinion on it. So apparently this website now "owns" pics of my fairly-naked body. Crap. Updated on 1 Mar 2015: Tomorrow is the big day. Cheers. Updated on 4 Mar 2015: Ouchie wishin I had stronger painkillers Updated on 8 Mar 2015: Healing will take some time. I know that the itching is a good thing, means Im healing. Ice helps! I helps more than anything I am finding. Anyone else have issues with the drains pulling? I get one out day after tomorrwo and then apparently have another entire week before they take the other one out!! Thy drive me nuts! Will post more pics today Updated on 9 Mar 2015: This is "before" BIG improvement! Updated on 15 Mar 2015: Hopefully the last drain comes out tomorrow! I'm getting better, still not standing totally upright (but I'd sure like to!) Also, WHEN is it okay to have sex again? LOL I will be asking tomorrow. Beforehand I was told around 6 weeks but that can't possibly be right... thats just... a really darn long time. Not sure if I can make it. After this drain comes out, Im going to be trying on some clothes that Im sure will look smoking hot on me.... some of those clothes are lingerie... Argh. Updated on 17 Mar 2015: I dont know if theres anything I can do to improve the amount of drainage, but this is where I'm at. Updated on 19 Mar 2015: That is all. Updated on 31 Mar 2015: I have my last drain out which is fantastic, and I'm feeling better and better all the time. My bellybutton still hurts as does my tummy but I'm better. However, Im not sure if its the fact that I haven't been able to work out or what.... exercise has been therapeutic for me... But I just can't shake this crappy mood I'm in. I was told to expect some depression in the first week post surgery because of the immense pain I was to be in, but its about a month post-surgery. Maybe its just me. Updated on 1 Apr 2015: Body is feeling better, depression is intense. Looking forward to working out again. Big time. Here are my updated pics.... Updated on 28 May 2015: A lot better! Updated on 25 Aug 2015: Thank you to Athenix and Dr. Dhaliwal for listening to me whine and moan while I was in recovery. I had probably the best summer of my life postop.... Wore a bikini for the first time in my WHOLE life! I dont regret it!
Thank you for the great question. You obviously love smiling, and as a consequence the muscles around the eye have become stronger and bigger. To improve this and help soften this appear wbce, botulinum toxin (botox, xeomin, dysport, jeaveau) can be used to soften the action of this muscle. This is a sensitive area to inject and should be done in a conservative manner. Choose an experienced injector and you should do well.
Thank you for the question and the photo. Although it is hard to tell without a physical exam and there is also some asymmetric lighting in the photo. IT seems like your left upper lip is thinner and some filler may help mask the asymmetry. Ultimately, there may be some gum line asymmetry or actual underlying skeleton asymmetry. A gum line asymmetry can be improved with crown lengthening (trimming of the gum around the teeth). I do not think this is your case. A skeletal asymmetry can be corrected with jaw surgery. However, given the subtle nature of you asymmetry, this surgery would likely not be warranted (unless you have bite or jaw joint issue). Warm Regards, Hardeep Dhaliwal, MD, DMD
Thank you for sharing a great questions. Although most botulinum toxin (botox) injections for the masseter are performed at the lower portion of the muscle, upper portions can be injected with care in certain patients. However, a thorough examination of your face or facial photos may help us understand the exact portion of the face you want reduced. I suspect a buccal fat (Bichet's fat pad) reduction may also give you the look you are trying to achieve. Another option would be augment the lower part of the jawline with filler to give the illusion of reduced volume in the mid-lower section of the face. A combination of filler and a buccal fat pad reduction may also give you the look you are trying to achieve. Warm Regards, Hardeep
Thank you for the great question. You have the essence of what needs to be done to achieve facial harmony. To achieve this goal it would be ideal to treatment plan your surgery with a thorough facial and dental examination which includes cone beam CT (bone imaging) imaging and 3D facial photography (at rest and in smile). In General, we want the facial thirds to be close to equal. If you type in "facial thirds" into any search engine, you will see what I am referring to. Thus, a counter-clockwise rotation as you discussed would be would be ideal, however the amount you showed (and direction) may shorten your lower facial third too much (but its hard to tell without seeing photos of your entire face). To achieve this rotation, you will almost certainly need a double jaw (upper and lower jaw) surgery. Double jaw surgery allows one to achieve complete control of lower facial third and achieve the ideal facial balance and harmony. An experienced maxillofacial surgeon familiar with counter-clockwise movements and well versed in virtual surgical planning should be able to give you the result you are looking to achieve.
Thank you for the question. It would be ideal to see photos taken prior to the injection of filler. Allow for some healing time, then you may be able to get a satisfactory result form a lower transconjunctival bleoharoplasty and/or conservative fat grafting. If you have fat grafting performed, ensure it is done by an experienced surgeon.
