Healing was quicker than I expected. I had other surgeries before, so I had an higher pain resistance than most may have. A lot of blood came out with the anesthetic solutions which helped me achieve a even better shape. Motivated me to continue in the journey of weightloss. Doctor Goodman also gave me a prescription that helped me suppress anxiety and binge eating disorders. I am in the process of getting quotes and preparing my financials to get a second one. Prices are high but the service is high quality. And my shape and mental health benefits is worth every penny. I believe it changed my body to a overall better shape. It is not a miracle surgery but it does help you achieve partial goals. Updated on 8 Jul 2020: My weight loss has been gradual and it ha been helping my result get nicer. The only thing I have noticed there is a harsh line lump in my flanks whenever my arms go up. The area never softened as I expected over the 9 months post op. Updated on 8 Jul 2020: Before and after procedure +35 lbs lost on dieting and exercise post op
I had liposuction of my abdomen, flanks, outer thighs and inner thighs 6 weeks ago. My results are amazing! Dr. Goodman has amazing artistic vision and skill and specializes in these procedures. I love that he uses local anesthetic and he makes sure you are comfortable while working with you during the procedure to help achieve your desired result. The entire process was incredibly simple and easy. After my procedure I felt like I was walking out of a simple office visit.
Dr. Goodman abs his entire staff are amazing. From consultation to procedure and follow ups I can’t say enough about them, everyone put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to proceed with this procedure. I had large volume tumescent liposuction done on my upper and lower abs, flanks love handles, and bra area. I would highly recommend dr. Goodman. I am so impressed thus far with my results. The most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure for me was the injection of the fluid. Day one of recovery for me was the hardest I basically took my pain medicine and slept, got up a couple of times to change the towels I had placed on my bed but that’s it. By day 2 the fluid seepage had subsided and I was able to get up the next day shower get my kids ready for school, drop them off and go to work, was it uncomfortable? Yes but very tolerable. My swelling has been up and down and I have good days and bad days with it. I am still in a garment for another 4 weeks, so I went ahead and ordered a couple extra garments. I have some numbness and occasional burning pain but I take Motrin or advil before bed and first thing in the morning and it seems to work. I have been given the all clear to resume all normal activity as tolerated so I am slowly starting back to the gym, and have taken up yoga. I do have some hard spots but I massage them every night when I lay in bed, not sure if it actually helps but I have read other reviews of others saying so. I will try to continue to document my progress at my next follow up
I gained a significant amount of weight from preganancy and Dr.G told me to have realistic expectations for results and they were so much more than I expected. This was life changing for me. Excellent
I was first welcomed by Tracy during a consult. She spent time with me and answered as many questions that I had. She’s goes above and beyond to make sure her patients are comfortable and happy with their progress and results. She is an expert in skin care, but she has a wealth of experience, knowledge and resources for a multitude of treatments.
I have been skeptical of liposuction but have several friends that have had it done and have referred me to Dr. Goodman. After his consultation, I felt at ease with him, his staff and the procedure and decided to Go For It!! Dr. Goodman is a genius - I am 6 weeks out, my stomach is flat and my love handles are gone!!! I couldn't have been more pleased, the procedure was easier than I expected, the staff made me feel so comfortable, it was over before I knew it. I would recommend Dr. Goodman to anyone!!!
Doctor Goodman and his staff were excellent. He was great during the procedure and listened if I was in any pain. I would highly recommend him to anyone. The cost to me was doable with plenty of finance charges. Any questions you have he will answer. I had a question about putting ointment on because I itched and he answered my text very promptly. The procedure doesn’t hurt just kind of uncomfortable and he makes sure you can be as comfortable as possible while you’re being worked on.
So, I'm posting my before and after photos. The post op photos were taken almost a month later. Swelling still present. I was never a skinny woman. My average size is a 12, which on my body type works and I'm happy at that. Two years ago I had my ovaries removed and my mid section just got huge. I exercised, dieted....nothing. I needed this extra help to get going. I have 2 children, one of which was a c section. I also had quite a few abdominal surgeries throughout my life. I will be 50 soon and want to look good. So, the procedure was ok. I was awake. Towards the end I was done and couldn't take much more. I had approx. 7.5 lbs removed. I can definitely see a difference and hope it continues to reduce. I am trying to eat better. I'm down 7lbs, but that's probably what they took out. I will update pictures next time I visit my doctor for a follow up...around the two month post op point.
Dr. Goodman is a highly skilled PS. Dr. Goodman and his whole staff are well informed and compassionate. Dr Goodman really listens to his patients, that is a quality that is hard to find. The office staff is very approachable and caring. I am very pleased with the outcome of my procedures. Would definitely recommend him for any services his office provides. .
Two days ago, Dr Goodman did a lipo on my abdomen, flanks and outer thighs and fat transfer to my buttocks. I'm very happy with the outcome and the whole process. Dr Goodman is very professional and knowledgeable. I'm a mom of 4 and wanted to reshape my body. At the same time I wanted "natural" results and that's what I'm seeing even though I am still swollen. Thank you Dr Goodman and staff, I'm very grateful and happy!!!
Liposuction done under local anesthesia is by far the best method for a patient similar to your height and weight for removing fat. The Laser is primarily used for sub dermal skin tightening after most of the fat is removed mechanically.
I would recommend a large volume power assisted liposuction procedure with the removal of about 4 liters of fat, which is the maximum allowable amount in the state of Florida in a single session. You may be pleasantly satisfied with this outcome, particularly if you could diet off another 10-20 lbs post op. If you want additional improvement, at a later date, you may follow up with a laser lipo procedure or possiblly a tummy tuck, in order to gain additional improvement.

The average patient does regain most of the weight removed during the lipo procedure. However, any additional weight gained is related to over consumption of food, lack of exercise, possible medical conditions and other factors. I suggest you see your medical doctor for evaluation.

I would have to see and examine you to make appropriate recommendations. I suspect that there are some liposuction procedures and cellulite reduction procedures which would give you significant cosmetic improvement. Have also included a video that shows a laser liposuction procedure:
This is not true. An experienced practitioner uses temperature monitoring to avoid burns while using a laser. Have also included a video that shows a laser liposuction procedure:
