Jennifer Harrington, MD

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Dr. Harrington and her team. Dr. Harrington and Tara beautifully reduced several decades of shame and embarrassment for which I am truly grateful. I've had cellulite since I was in Highschool and its continued to get worse over the years. I tried everything out there and was never able to see any real improvement. I've maintained a healthy weight, exercised, tried Ultrasonic Cavitation and the Fascia Blaster but nothing would get rid of it.
While in for a consult on a different procedure I noticed a pamphlet on Aveli. I was intrigued and wanted to know more. Dr. Harrington took the time to explain the procedure in great detail. I decided to go for it! The consultation was fast and easy.
Once the dimples are identified, each area must be numbed up individually with Lidocaine. The needles to numb you are probably the worst part. After the Aveli device is inserted through a small incision you can feel tugging but the procedure itself is painless. The doctor uses the tool to break up the septa that causes the dimple. The process took about 1 hour.
I was able to see a difference as soon as I looked in the mirror. It is an unbelievable treatment! I had some bruising and a bit of swelling after the procedure. It is recommended to wear tight compression leggings in which I wore for the next 30 days. As time went by I was able to see my results even clearer.
I am now several months post Aveli and I couldn't be happier with my results! For the fist time in years I feel confident in shorts, dresses and a swimsuit. It's truly an amazing feeling when you have been hiding it for so long.
Everything about this experience was First-Class! Dr. Harrington and her staff went out of their way to make me feel important and valued. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and taking me on as your patient. I cannot express my gratitude enough! I am so blessed to have met you all! I would highly recommend Dr. Harrington and her team along with Aveli to to everyone struggling with cellulite!

I was looking for places that offered Qwo in Minnesota and found that Harrington + Associates did, so I immediately emailed to find out more information. The first thing that I REALLY appreciated (and that is a noticeable difference from most other places) is that the person that replied to my email was extremely transparent about the pricing. Most places are cagey and want you to come in before they even quote you on a price and I hate that. So that was the first thing I liked. They scheduled me for a consultation but built in time so that if I was a candidate, I could get my first session of Qwo at that appointment (that was also a major plus). I have to say that I am very insecure about my cellulite, so the thought of having someone examine every dimple and circle it with a marker before the procedure made me very nervous. But Saebra, Dr. Harrington's nurse who met with me and did the procedure, put me at ease immediately. I loved how she explained the procedure, made sure I had realistic expectations about results and understood side effects like bruising, and she totally put me at ease and I didn't feel insecure or embarrassed at all. Even though this is a really new procedure, she seemed like a pro. She understand which dimples would be good candidates for an injection spot, she provided clear and helpful after-care instructions, and the procedure itself was quick and painless. I also loved how she was passionate about the science behind it. I look forward to seeing my results after my 2nd and 3rd session.

It took me awhile to give this update bc I’ve been upset about the results. My 3rd treatment was 5 months ago and I still have some “staining” from the bruises. They are less noticeable now but definitely still there. It looks like I have multiple bruises in various places all over back of thighs. And most importantly, I don’t see improvements in cellulite except for one very deep dimple that was on one butt cheek. That one simple is now much less deep. But you can’t even see that simple when I wear a bathing suit bc of the placement. The cellulite I was most self conscious about around the side of my butt and on upper thoughts look no different. And to add insult to injury, I lost volume in my glutes. They look saggier now. I’m so sad I wasted the money and got my hopes up. I’m hoping the bruise stains will go away by summer.

I officially really regret getting Qwo. Not only did it only have MINIMAL results (mainly just reducing the depth of one very deep dimple and all of the other areas of cellulite remain unchanged but with bruising stains) but it changed the shape of my butt for the worse! This has upset me the most. Where I had the most Qwo injections I now have a flattened area. The profile of my butt is no longer a dome. It looks like a dome with a flat dent in the middle. It is really upsetting because I previously had a round butt (that I loved the shape of) with cellulite (that I hated) and now I have a misshapen butt that I hate the shape of and I still have all the same cellulite. It’s really upsetting. They suggested I try Emsculpt to try to correct the problem Qwo created and so I hope that helps (otherwise that will be another $1200 down the drain). I am 3 treatments in with 1 to go….

Dr. Harrington and her nurses are amazing!!! So so nice. This is why you pay to go to the top of the line surgeon because I had a reaction to my sutures and she has been with me to the very end. I know some friends who got plastic surgery in Miami and other quick in and out places and they said they did not see their surgeon one time after surgery. I have seen her 5 times at just one month post surgery! You Obviously hope everything goes smoothly but in the off chance that it doesn’t you want a surgeon that is OK coming back and giving you a quick appointments1 million times just so you can have the peace of mind because the beginning stages of recovery are the times that people panic and want answers. There was no question on whether she would watch over and take care of me she said come in tomorrow ! Her nurses are so amazing too they really take the time to answer the questions no one has time for and you feel time is standing still they are there for only you. My reaction to sutures was no ones fault, but my boobs look amazing!!!! Lifted gifted up there! They are perfectly even and look like I have mini implants in even though I just got a lift with no implants. Also, if you can catch Dr. Harrington when she has some time, she is goofy with a sense of humor :P

From the first email requesting information through my first day home today, an amazing experience.
You can tell the entire team enjoys working together and cares about their patients. they all work together so well to ensure a positive experience through the whole process. I consulted with 4 surgeons before choosing Dr Harrington, all would require travel to get to. I did opt to travel for an in-person pre-surgery consult (i'm a worrier and planner!). So glad i did because the choice became hands-down clear. Dr Harrington is down-to-earth, easy to talk to, clearly skilled and smart, and I just knew I'd be in good hands. She explained the how and why very clearly.It was easy to speak to her directly with follow up questions. I was able to make decisions I felt sure of (and i'm an over-researcher!). I still can't believe how positive my experience with Dr Harrington and her team was and continues to be, I plan to write as many reviews as I can as I know i have been helped by reviewers in my own searches. I had pushed to try to get in with someone who was supposedly "on of the best for explant" in another state. I am so glad i heeded the warning signs and lack of communication and chose Dr Harrington. From the first call for a consult, the experiences were totally different. I would have been a worried mess at the other location. I felt like my family was taking care of me with Dr Harrington, a big deal during COVID when i wasn't able to have my family travel to help me post surgery.I am post-op day 3 and feel great, having to make sure i don't do too much is my biggest concern!If you care to know my previous history and reason for surgery choice, please read below. Otherwise just know you are in great hands at Harrington!I had Transaxillary endoscopic (through the armpit), below the muscle, saline implants in 2000 to correct a size imbalance (300/350CC). After 18 years i had "bottomed out" and had a bit of discomfort. So i had a revision with bilateral capsulorrhaphy where i switched to silicone in 2018 (325/375CC). I knew in my gut i should have had them just removed and while i asked at 2 consults, i now know no one in my city does a true explant. So i was convinced I'd be happier with silicone. I wasn't. And I was more uncomfortable and had more pain after the revision than i did with the initial saline. So i started researching again and found this site and a breast implant illness site to begin the hunt for what i know knew was an explant surgeon.Note i've had 3 years of supposed chronic fatigue syndrome in the past (for lack of any other diagnosis) and learned of a 2 generation history of auto-immune disease in my family since my first procedure, amongst other weird health struggles. Was it the implants? Who knows. I just decided it wasn't worth the risk or waiting to have them removed and another surgery as I got older. 20 years with them has been enough for me!I still don't know how i will look in the end as tissues settle and incisions heal, but i am so darned happy already. I am currently glad i didn't opt to have a lift, and that i did not need a muscle repair -some surgeons "always" do one i've learned and healing time/restriction is much more intensive. As a competitive athlete this was something i asked a lot about to ensure i made the right choice for me. I know the team at Harrington is the reason i have felt so confident during the entire process. No regrets at all, and I am even thankful I made the "mistake" of the revision a couple years ago as i know i've had a great explant performed now that would not have been possible locally.I hope this review helps you in your process making the best choice for you!

My experience at Harrington & Associate’s was phenomenal from beginning to end. I felt comfortable, heard and well taken care of at each visit. I was very particular about my sizing, and the end result is absolutely perfect. DR. Harrington was honest with me from the beginning about some “extra challenges” she would face due to the previous shape and condition of my breasts. Because of her honestly, she gained my trust and my respect, and I couldn’t be happier. During my recovery, I had a few concerns that were quickly and thoroughly address by Saebra. From the front desk to the operating room, the entire staff was nothing short of amazing at each visit.

Dr. Harrington and her team were amazing! They took time to understand what I really wanted and provided many resources to help me make the best decision. She is energetic and has a wonderful bedside manner. She is fun to be around! She listens and is honest-doesn't pressure you into doing what she may think is best-although will provide an opinion if asked. She called the night before surgery as well as after the surgery to check on me and answer any questions. Can't say enough how much I recommend her if you're looking for a plastic surgeon. I felt educated to make the best decision for me and am thrilled with the results!

Great results after implant removal I was worried I would need an expensive breast lift after removal of my large implants - I had them in for 10 years and at 62 years old, I figured my small breasts would be very droopy and deflated looking.Dr. Harrington said she was happy to do that for me but after she spent significant time talking with me and evaluating my situation she said she thought she could save me the money and said she felt confident I could take the less expensive option of just implant removal without the expense of a lift.I have never had a doctor say they would like to help me save thousands of dollars! So I trusted her judgement and of course, she was completely right. She came highly recommended by a friend of mine and now I know why. I value her expertise, kindness and the team she has are empathetic and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Harrington!

I cant believe I finally did it!
I've never been unholy with the size of my breasts but after 3 kids they were saggy an just kind of "there". I was ready o feel sexy again!
I had 3 consultations with 3 offer to doctors scheduled but after doing 2 consultations I cancelled the 3rd one. I'm SOOOO happy with the dr I chose! I ended up going to Dr Harrington at Harrington and Associates. The entire staff was welcoming n professional. When I met wish Dr Harrington I felt like I was chatting with my BFF bout my boobs and she just "got it". She had me look at pictures to how her what I wanted my breasts i look like. She asked me questions to get a sense of me and my personality. We isn't talk about cup sizes or even cc's jut expectations and desires. I told her I'm not going for bigger as much as I'm going for fuller and more volume. I'm now 3 days post op and plant be happier!

Working in the medical field as an RN for over 20 years, I’ve seen a lot, good and bad. From the beginning Dr. Harrington and her staff stand out. From your initial consult, to preparing you for surgery, and all your post surgical cares, the team is always available. They take the time to answer all your questions. Dr. Harrington will personally call you prior to your surgery to check and see if you have any questions or concerns. Because they are predominantly an all female group they can relate to the physical and emotional needs that are very important as well with these types of surgeries. Harrington and Associates is the only place I would trust to care for me.

Dr. Harrington and her entire staff were fantastic! I could’ve hung out with them all day they made you feel like friends and really were so patient with my millions of questions before and even after surgery. My breast augmentation was super easy and didn’t even need pain meds after! The hardest part was not driving for a week or working out like I was used to. Dr. Harrington is brilliant, her staff are literally the best I’ve ever seen in a medical setting! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to feel cared for and understood.
