Finally Releasing the "Demons" - Fat Arms. Minneapolis, MN
Had arm laxity my whole life. Gained and lost weight and they were horrible. I HATED THE THOUGHT AND SIGHT of them. Finally got up the nerve to get them addressed. My stats are: cw:180 5'8 I cannot tell you how much I have loathed these in the past. See before and after pics below. Please be honest and let me know if you see a difference yet. Thanks Updated on 28 Dec 2015: Turns out I had a hematoma and a second surgery was required very very painful.

Waited 15 Years for This and Couldn't Be Happier - Minneapolis, MN
I thought Dr Mr Lovaas was great. he was the only PS I consulted but his to the point, factual and overall experience made the decision a no brainer for me. he knew exactly what size to make my breasts in order to have them be proportionate to my body. He assured me over and over again, that I will have the body that I always wanted. I will no longer have a hidden waist, I will look great in a dress. he explained the procedure great. I left with no questions. The chance of my

Very Pleased - Minneapolis, MN
Like many athletic women in their early 50s, I was losing volume in my face-and more on one side than the other! So much so that I thought I might need a cheek implant-I had a few rounds of fillers (Radiesse, Juvederm) over the last few years. I liked the results but they don't last, which, at $700 per syringe, adds up! So I made an appointment with a plastic surgeon who recommended fat transfer (rather than cheek implants). So far, results are great-I've regained the fullness
A little about myself before the surgery for comparison reasons: 36 yrs old, 2 c-section births, 5'5, 123lbs, size 2 waist with horrific streatch marks , an innie belly button, complete seperation of my stomach muscles and a small yet unpleasant tummy flap above my 2 c-section scars. Now to cut to the chase. I had my surgery on July 9th 2012 and went in with the expectation of getting rid of about 75% of my stretch marks because of the fact they are so high above my belly

Nervous and Excited! - Minneapolis, MN
Hi there, I am going from a 34DD to a C. 5'3 125 lbs. 36yrs old. Surgery on Oct 10th. Wondering what items I will need to purchase to prepare for the best outcome pre and post op!! Creams, pills, tips n tricks for healing and being comfortable etc etc etc!!! Nervous and excited! Thankful for this site!! xo
I was 17 when I decided to get an augmentation - one breast was a B and one was a big C and I wanted them to match. I wasn’t interested in implants so I wanted to get the larger one reduced, but Dr Lovass talked me into an implant on the smaller side. He said I’d regret it some day if I went the other way. I explained to him I’ve never wanted big boobs and I feel I’d be happier with one reduced. I didn’t want an implant but he suggested it was the best way to go. The surgery
Terrible. I had a breast reduction and I look like a Tom boy. I started out a double D and was to go down to a C. My end result is smaller than an A. I will need to have corrected surgery with implants. I would NOT recommend him. The doctor I saw in the office is not the Dr I dealt with the day of the sugery and sure is not the same surgeon now. Definitely do your homework and do not go by how many years they have been a surgeon. I am truly disappointed and very upset. I have
Horrible experience
I'm very unhappy with the results of my breast reduction, I also wonder if I got a crap job because my insurance paid. I watched and did my homework before having my reduction months ago and did not get anywhere close to what I watched on those videos. I'm not sure how you screw up the areola size when they cut it out, they are horrible. I have pretty much 4 breast because I guess my insurance doesn't pay for lipo but if he would of talked to me about everything thing I would

36yrs Went in for Breast Lift/reduction. but Came out with lots of Reduction no shape breast.- Saint Louis Park, MN
After having kids. I felt its time to fix me. I was a 38f. Went in to see dr.lovaas because of rash under my left breast. At which time he recommend Surgery as a permanent fix. We then talk abt what i wanted and set for the time. My insurance did cover the cost not sure how much.He was the only ps i talk to,big mistake. He was to give me a full D. Now am 5'9 and 220pd , carry my weight well, most ppl think am 160-170. I love my breast. Just needed them lifted. Not taken away.

Horrifying - Saint Louis Park, MN
I was left with a horrific and devastating result from his poorly performed rhinoplasty. Subsequent major revision surgery was required, and deformities were only partially correctable. I will forever regret making the decision to proceed with this surgeon. Additionally, it has caused a severe amount of emotional suffering. I will never be able to correct all of the damage caused by this surgeon.
