Robert W. Benson, MD

I had smart lipo about three months ago to help with saggy skin under my chin (I had no fat there, just saggy skin). I am absolutely thrilled with the results! Dr Benson had said to ignore results till at least 4 months had passed, but I see a significant improvement at 3 months and I am VERY happy I made the decision to have this procedure. Dr Benson and his staff were great to work with also. I have zero complaints; a happy camper here :-)

I am a 44 year old Dermatologist and mother of 4 girls! I had Sculpsure done at QnA Medical Spa with Dr. Robert Benson. He and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable about my treatment options for stubborn fat on my outer thighs. The procedure had very little discomfort and no downtime. I am very pleased with my results!!!! I will be ready for summer this year with my improved legs. I would recommend Dr.Benson to anyone considering body contouring because he has years of experience and numerous procedures to fit your needs. I am so happy that I have found my Dermatologist to take care of me!

I've had several different procedures at QnA Cosmetic Surgery and I've always been more than pleased with my results. I value Dr. Benson’s honesty and the fact that he is able to achieve a more natural result. I had Smartlipo to my abdomen and love handles 3 years ago and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.? Before my Smartlipo I had the typical post baby bulge to my abdomen and didn't feel comfortable wearing more fitted shirts. Since my procedure I'm not limited to a select type of clothing and feel more confident than ever!!

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Benson and his staff to discuss the potential results following a smartlipo procedure to the neck, saddlebags and inner thighs. They were very upfront about what I could realistically expect. I am in my early 40's with decent skin elasticity. I am also fairly active. My inner and outer thighs have always been a problem area for me, even when I have been the most fit.

The day of the procedure, I was a little nervous, but was quickly put at ease. The procedure was not more than a couple of hours. I went home, slept most of the afternoon without much discomfort. I do not like to take a lot of pain medication, so I opted for an over the counter pain medication rather than what was prescribed. That, along with the compression garment, was sufficient in minimizing the soreness over the next few days. I experienced some bruising for a week or so afterwards.

I noticed results within a week or two post-op. Once the swelling and bruising subsided, I was so much more comfortable in my clothes. The skin continued to tighten and firm over the next few months.

Neograft Hair Restoration is a life changer! The procedure was performed in just a few hours with minimum discomfort. I had no problem concealing the donor or graft areas until there was a full recovery. I could see new hair growth within a few months. My hairdresser cannot believe the difference. I would highly recommend this procedure. Thinning hair has long been acceptable for men, but it can be emotionally devastating for women.

Being a mom of two teenagers and having a demanding and stressful job, I could use a little help in the wrinkle department. I found myself frowning in concentration too often, which not only deepens my wrinkles, but can be construed as a disappointing or disapproving expression. Dr. Benson took great care of that, using his expertise to place injections in just the right areas to allow me to still be expressive and not look robotic. I have received so many compliments on how refreshed I look.

I saw Dr. Benson for smart lipo on my hips. I have an hourglass/curvy figure which is fine but I have always had odd fat pockets on my hips. They got considerably worst after I had a baby. I even found myself feeling uncomfortable in clothes because it was noticeable. My experience with Dr. Benson and his staff was wonderful and pleasant. He and his nurses took great care of me and we even had a few laughs during the procedure. He was upfront that due to the stretchmarks on my hips it was unlikely that I would get them completely flat. He also took a little out of my lower abdomen that was larger post baby.
Almost four months later I am so happy with the results. There is still a slight bump (probably not the best description) on my hips. However, there is no fat left in there. It is skin that just didn't tighten up due to the stretchmarks. I am completely OK with this. Remember, our bodies aren't perfect and we can't expect perfection from this procedure. I loved that Dr. Benson was upfront about my expectations. My stomach is flatter than ever and my hips are now in proportion to my body which is what I wanted.
The procedure was easy and pain free. My recovery was fine. I did have some discomfort in my belly button which is where one of the incisions were. I was given Loratabs for pain. I took one and had a bad reaction to it. So, my entire recovery was handled just fine with over the counter Tylenol.
Great experience. The ladies in the office are sweet and helpful. Dr. Benson did a great job.

I'm getting married in September in a destination wedding and the thought of being in a binkini in front of friends and family had me in a total panic. I decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Benson to have Smart Lipo... I was pretty confident after speaking with him and decided to go ahead and schedule for the following week. Normally I mull things over for ages but there was no time to mess around I had to pull the trigger. The night before I was super nervous. I was given a Xanax to take the night before and one 30 minutes before the procedure. When I got to the office the staff was super nice and talked me through my concerns. I was given a shot of Versed to calm my nerves and make me drowsy. It DEFINITELY helped... I was in and out of it. Dr. Benson came in and began the procedure. He first made a tiny incision in my right love handle that was a tiny sting (like getting a shot) and then inserted the tube that filled the area with the tumscent fluid. As I had read before, this is the most uncomfortable part- but certainly NOT unbearable... I would liken it to a bikini waxing. After the area was filled with the fluid you notice it go numb pretty quickly. He then inserted the laser and began the MAGIC of melting the fat... I only felt movement going on, never did I feel any discomfort during the lasering. He then moved on to my outter thigh, left hip, left outter thigh...following the same steps above. We chatted during the procured after about an hour the Versed was wearing off and I was more chatty. Next he did my stomach which was the most painful.... Not sure if it was the medicine wearing off for the area or what but I definitely felt it a bit more that anything else. I just bit my lip.... afterall.... beauty is pain.....My inner thighs were last and not significant... they went very quickly and then the procedure and the 2 hours were over!!! Everything went so smoothly... The nurses came in to help me get cleaned up and crammed into the compression garment. After all was done I walked out of the office on my own and chatted with my fiance the entire 30 min ride home.

After arriving home, I felt great, we stopped and picked up lunch and ate at home as I was leaking quite a bit of fluid. I just relaxed for the remainder of the day napping on and off. By 9pm I had quit leaking the tumescent fluid and changed my compression garment to a fresh one (I bought 2 and definitely reccommend!!) as the other was stained with fluid and blood. I slept fine excepting that I'm not a back sleeper so it was difficult at first as I had the urge to want to roll on my side.

Day One Post Op:

Woke up this morning sore like I had just done a major workout. Took only advil this morning and again at 3pm... Feels good to move around... sitting too much makes me stiff. I've been doing minor housework... folding clothes, etc.
I can already notice a huge difference in the contour of my body! I'm still very swollen so its hard to tell exacly how much better I will look!!!

Hello All! I am one week out and still very excited about my results... the swelling has subsided quite a bit (being more pronounced in the evenings). I am still a little sore and certain movements are more difficult but again just like I had done a strenuous workout. My bruising took a couple days to develop and was pretty intense but with the help of the Arnica gel it is quickly fading. I have my 3 week follow up scheduled and am looking forward to seeing continued progress and improvement.

I have always struggled with my pear shape. I am so pleased with the laser liposuction procedures on thighs, stomach and natural fat transfer to breasts Dr. Benson performed on me. I would highly recommend Dr. Benson and I am so thankful for the results achieved. ( size 8 down to size 2 ) My clothes fit better and I am able to wear styles that I could never consider wearing before the procedure. My husband and I are very happy!

I am so happy I decided to have the CO2 laser procedure! It's unbelievable what can be done now, to fight off aging! I am in my early 50's and was tired of looking older than I felt. I decided to do CO2 laser under my eyes, after seeing the results of one of my friends. I'm totally thrilled!!! Thank you Dr. Benson. You and your staff were awesome!
