I underwent 360 liposuction with fat transfer to the hips and butt with Dr. Nykiel, and my experience was consistently positive from consultation through recovery. What initially drew me to him was his approach to safety, particularly his use of ultrasound technology during the procedure, which gave me added confidence in my decision. The surgical team was courteous, professional, and well-organized. I felt informed at each step and never rushed. Having clinical experience myself, I pay close attention to details, and I was comfortable with how the procedure was handled, including the operating room setup and postoperative protocols. Follow-up care was thorough and reassuring. I was contacted after surgery to check on my recovery, and I appreciated knowing that questions or concerns would be addressed promptly if they came up. That level of availability made the recovery period much less stressful. In terms of results, I was looking for refinement rather than an exaggerated change. The outcome feels balanced and natural, with improved contours and shape that suit my body. Overall, I felt respected as a patient and am satisfied with both the care I received and the final result. I would highly recommend Dr Nykiel!!
One month post-op from my BBL and Lipo 360, and I couldn’t be happier! I was nervous about not looking like myself, but that’s exactly why I chose Dr. Nykiel - his natural looking results. On top of that, his bedside manners, honesty, and professionalism made me feel confident from day one. He literally teaches other surgeons how to lipo with Vaser! His team is amazing. Kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. On surgery day, the nurses and anesthesiologist put me so at ease that my nerves disappeared instantly. Really, I couldn’t thank them enough! I can’t wait to show off my new figure.. I feel like a more elevated version of myself. The results are subtle, beautiful, and what I was dreaming of since I was a teenager. I’m beyond happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Dr. Nykiel and his team.
I had Lipo 360 with fat transfer to the breast by Dr. Nykiel after a lumpectomy left me with a deformity in my right breast. The entire experience was very positive. The office staff was caring and supportive, especially Amanda and Krista, who made me feel heard and reassured when I was initially nervous about the procedure. Their kindness and encouragement made a big difference. I had minimal pain and am still healing, but my breasts are now symmetrical, and I’m excited to see the final results. I’m very grateful to Dr. Nykiel and his wonderful team and would highly recommend them.
Aa a returning customer the best experience and customer satisfaction delivery. Dr. Nykiel's team is always looking for your best interest and Amanda assisted me all the way from consultation to follow-ups. Dr. Nykiel is personally engaged from consultation to personal follow-up after surgery. I appreciate the dedication to my personal goals and outcome.
I had a Lipo 360 done three months ago with Dr. Nykiel, and my experience has been amazing. I’m very happy with my results and feel much more confident in my body. His team was always kind, professional, and attentive, explaining everything clearly and making me feel supported throughout the process. The clinic itself felt very clean, organized, and welcoming, which gave me a lot of comfort from the start. At my follow-up appointment, they even surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a self-care voucher, such a thoughtful gesture that showed how much they care about their patients. I truly appreciate the warmth and quality of care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Nykiel and his team for anyone considering a Lipo 360 or any other procedure.

From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by how spotless and inviting the office felt. The entire team was warm, attentive, and genuinely made me feel relaxed. The treatment coordinator explained everything thoroughly and took her time answering all of my questions. I’d had a consultation elsewhere before coming here, but this office instantly made me feel more knowledgeable and confident about my choices. The doctor walked me through his breast augmentation technique in a clear and detailed way. I told him I wanted a natural result, and he offered excellent guidance on implant sizes (CCs) that would suit my height and weight. After reviewing his background and seeing examples of his work, I felt completely comfortable scheduling my surgery less than a month later. In the weeks leading up to surgery, the staff checked in often making sure I had my medications, reminders, and anything else I needed. Any time I reached out, they replied quickly, usually within 24 hours. After the procedure, the doctor personally called to see how I was doing, which I truly appreciated. The level of care I received before, during, and after my surgery was exceptional. My results turned out beautifully, and I’m genuinely thrilled. I’d been waiting for this for a long time, and choosing this office was absolutely the right decision. I highly recommend this doctor and his team to anyone thinking about having surgery.

Two months ago I had surgery with Dr. Nykiel, he is the best surgeon. In my evaluation appointment I impressed by the dedication of the doctor and the staff. Amanda was always there to help me throughout the entire process, answering my questions and assisting me with follow-up appointments. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, Nykiel is the best.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Nykiel and his amazing team! From the very beginning, the communication was incredible — every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, and they made sure I felt confident and informed leading up to my breast lift and implant procedure. They took the time to help me choose the perfect size that felt right for my comfort level and body shape, never pressuring me and always prioritizing what would look and feel the most natural. The day of surgery went so smoothly — it felt like it was over in no time! My recovery was surprisingly quick with little to no downtime, and I was back to my regular routine before I knew it. The results are absolutely beautiful — exactly what I envisioned and more. Even after the procedure, Dr. Nykiel and his team have continued to provide amazing care and follow-up. They truly go above and beyond for their patients. I’m beyond thrilled with my results and so grateful I chose this team. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming here monthly for 9 months now and every time I come in, I’m always greeted by friendly and attentive staff. Dr. Nykiel and Trish are very thorough and answer all questions and concerns so that you’ll feel comfortable. Pricing is also very reasonable! Definitely would recommend.

My experience with Dr. Nykiel’ practice has been wonderful. All of the staff in the office are warm and friendly. With their guidance on the Semiglutide program, making better food choices, and exercise I’ve managed to lose over 40 pounds. Thank you all for your support!
