The heartfelt appreciation and affection that I hold for Dr. Pancholi and his staff are boundless! Dr. Pancholi’s medical skills and artistic talent are second to none. I see him as the Michelangelo of cosmetic surgery, the GOAT, and a Las Vegas treasure. He and his staff went above and beyond what I expected every step of my journey to self-improvement. I felt safe, expertly cared for, and valued. Following my surgery, I have shed more tears of joy than I could have ever imagined, and I am not one who cries at trivial matters. I am not just pleased with the results; I am ecstatic, shout-from-the-rooftops, deliriously euphoric. It has been nearly five weeks since my surgery, and I still feel high from the transformative experience. For decades, I had despised my fat, saggy face, a pathetically un-chiseled profile, and a gigantic turkey-waddle of a neck. I did not have just a double chin, I had a quadruple one (thanks, Dad). I hadn’t seen my Adam’s apple or the contour of my jawline in at least 20 years. I am all for self-acceptance, however, I knew that I could try to accept these confidence-crushing features ‘till the cows come home, and it was just not going to happen. I avoided mirrors and offered to be the photographer rather than be in photos. What I had to accept was that I allowed my face to zap the gusto out of my professional and social lives and that I did not feel as old and unattractive inside as I looked on the outside. I called two cosmetic surgery offices on a three-day weekend, and only Dr. Pancholi’s office returned my call. I thought I needed a laundry list of cosmetic procedures to make me happy with my face. It was a fateful moment when Dr. Pancholi told me that I needed a facelift and a fat-transfer procedure only, and that the cost would be significantly lower than the cost of all the procedures I thought I required. How many doctors talk you out of spending more money than you are willing to spend? That is exactly what Dr. Pancholi did, while at the same time providing a window to his ethical compass and warm soul. It was clear to me that Dr. Pancholi was more than comfortable performing the procedures I needed. He allowed me to ask a plethora of questions to help me make my decision. I am sure he had heard my questions a thousand times before from other patients, but he never made me feel silly, and he never made me feel rushed. How many doctors can you say that about? Following a seven-hour surgery (this was no drive-by facelift) filled with medical precision and meticulous attention to artistic detail, Dr. Pancholi phoned me at home later that evening to check on me. Again, this was not expected or requested, but it was oh-so-kind and comforting. Every time I had an appointment at Dr. Pancholi’s conveniently located yet extra-private offices, I was greeted with warmth and concern by his very able staff. I could call and/or text between appointments and almost instantly receive a response. Just today, I met with Dr. Pancholi and his ultra-competent nurse Nikki. I brought a list of fourteen after-care questions which were all answered adeptly and patiently. It is one thing to be over the moon with the outcome of your cosmetic surgery, which I obviously am. It is another to delight in your fresh look while, throughout the process, gaining enormous respect and admiration for your extraordinary doctor and his remarkable staff. I wish I had given myself this life-changing gift decades ago. I feel unable to adequately express my overwhelming gratitude to these bighearted, awe-inspiring professionals. I am so fortunate to have chosen Dr. Pancholi and his staff! --RCB
The very first time I met Dr. Pancholi, he spent over an hour and a half talking to me about my journey through breast cancer, mastectomy, reconstruction, and last but not least, breast reconstruction revision options.I was defeated and felt like no one would or could help me create breasts that appear real and normal, (when I say real and normal, I don’t mean perfect or even close to what a regular breast augmentation looks like.I was striving for a reconstruction that at least did not look like a tennis ball cut in half and slipped under my skin a half inch from the sternum on one side, and the breast two inches away from the sternum and hanging down and medial on the other. (photos above: before mastectomy, post reconstruction, post 1st set of fat transfers and wrong size implant switched out, (all with 1st surgeon), and reconstruction revision and finally, a second set of fat transfers with Dr. Pancholi).He spoke to me kindly, but frankly. When I say that I mean he was honest about what I could expect my breasts to look like. BUT, he spoke to me as a human and Not like a piece of meat, (which I have experienced in the 7 consultations countrywide, prior to this one). Even though It would be inconvenient to travel from Kansas to Las Vegas and stay in a hotel for 10 days, I chose him. He made me feel heard and safe. His work was excellent.The first surgery with him, (mind you it was my 3rd reconstruction revision), was a very long surgery. He had to correct many flaws to reach the best outcome. It was a painful recovery. My breasts however looked fantastic!!! I was so happy!!!! The results were better than I ever could imagine. I thought they look amazing! However, this artist, was not satisfied.He had me come back out for a second set of fat transfers. In my second surgery which was much easier, he took a lot of fat from my flanks, and inner thighs to smooth out the upper pole, and the edges of the implant on the right side, (where I had the mastectomy). I am 5 weeks post op. The pictures above show the final product, the piece of art that he created.The follow up has been wonderful! I am a slow healer and just had my back drain removed at 4 weeks, so I still am swollen. I couldn’t be happier with my new shape and my beautiful breasts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Pancholi and staff. You gave me hope and so much joy!!
I'm petite 5'1 129 lbs. We decided with 470cc under muscle extra high profile natrelle soft touch gel cohesive to replace previous implants saline 210cc. Two months post-op breast is dropping and settling well. With new breast my bra size is now 34 DD and it's perfect for my body and stature. I absolutely love my boobs the shape, how soft it feels. Dr.Pancholi did an amazing job and I will recommend him to everyone!
Getting A Brest aug and lift from dr Pancholi I am Satisfied and displeased all at the same time I love the way that they turned out but it was like jumping through hoops and pulling finger nails to get what I wanted. However the staff is absolutely awesome their customer service is superb every single person and staff member a part of Dr. Pancholi's staff is excellent in every single way I would recommend them that the top of the top in Las Vegas and if you want good results go to Dr. Pancholi he's going to take care of you to the best of the patient's health he does not over exceed in anyway he definitely decides on your procedure due to your body and due to your health do not go to him if you are trying to save money and trying to over exceed your body because he will not allow that he is very self-conscious about your health and very strict and have very strict guidelines but if you abide by his plan of surgery and plan of care your results will be fantastic like mine it took about a year to see the finished result I am very satisfied. Although I did not get the size that I wanted and that is what I am dissatisfied about the only thing he went with what was healthy for my body which was not as big as what I expected but will go again for bigger implants which was not my intention I wanted to go one time and one time only he gave me a Lift and then a augso I feel like I should've got what I wanted . The dirt one arround.
had vaser lip on my tummy / ab ( 360) and on my lower, mid and lower back. on Feb 7 i am 41, no children, work out 4 times a week , run a mile in 9 mins, previously had cool sculpt on my tummy which made it look wavy and horrible, Updated on 18 Feb 2019: the first 5 days after surgery felt like hell. bed rest, walk 5 mins every hour or 2 back to bed now on day 11 my drains are still in and draining. i just want them out. Tissues and fat has come through the drains also I am still a discomfort, not full pain, but at night just discomfort to the point i just walk and pace in front of the TV, I can see that my tummy is much much flatter, but i am not seeing result of my back or waist line yet. Trying to stay positive, this has been and is a very emotional journey for me. my body, skin does not feel like my own right now, odd feeling just to touch my own skin, i feel unattached from it. I did buy Post Lipo Foam for to wear in my compression garment which is awesome stuff. Post Lipo Foam is a MUST for comfort, wish i had, had it right after surgery but only got from amazon today. ( Post Surgery Foam Sheets, Surgical Compression Garments ContourMD, 8"x 11" Sheet) 18 BUCKS I am trying to do light stuff around the house and take care of my 6 dogs, some days are harder than the other. Really missing the gym. Updated on 19 Feb 2019: day 12 post vaser lipo tummy , waist, lower, mid and upper back trouble sleeping last night. body was so uncomfortable. I only have 2 pain pills left and not sure if Dr is going to give me more. I really do still need them at night when my body seems to hurt the most. The foam post lipo pads i have bought have helped some Drains still in. front drain is slowly stopping but my back drain is still fulling up and back to pink in color Updated on 22 Feb 2019: its is not 15 days post op vaser lipo on tummy / waist ( 360 ) lower, mid and upper back My drains are still in and draining. Dr. says nothing to worry about some just drain a lot longer...but no, 15 days draining is no the norm. Still wearing my compression garment...feels odd when it is off. Still sore when i move certain ways, still sleeping on only my back instead of my side. Skin still feels detached and not my own when touched. I can see some results in the curve in my waist line, my tummy is flatter, not perfect flat, still some lumps, but i dont have to suck it in nearly as much as i use to at all. Still waiting to see result on my upper back. not sure why i am not seeing any result in that area yet, except maybe become the compression garment really does not compress the upper back at all. still on down time, no work, no gym, hard to to sit and eat all day out of boredom . Updated on 24 Feb 2019: Today is 17 days post op..I have been in pain again or extreme discomfort.

Mentally this is taking a toll on me..and dr wont seem to give more pain pills. Not sure why I am more swollen day 17 then was at day 14 Updated on 25 Feb 2019: well went to Drs. Today due to swelling back up and in pain...after 18 days he took both drains out, even though one was still draining alot and then manually drained 3 spots on me with a huge needle...this was not fun...LOL..but it def helped ease some of the pain i was feeling for sure. the pulling out of the drains wasnt much fun either. Updated on 3 Mar 2019: got drained manually by dr. twice last week instant relief in swelling and discomfort when he drains me by needle. I also got my first lymphatic drain massage and wow, just wow, what a instant difference it made. Durring the massage it hurt, not gonna lie, even with her gentle pressure, but i got through the 60 mins. when she was done i was able to bend and touch my toes, which i had not been able to do and swelling in my back was gone and so was discomfort, just amazing. Going back today for a second one and will prob be getting one every few days because my body just keeps swelling. I am hoping it will all be done soon If you live in Las Vegas and are seeking a great lymphatic drain massage person try Robbin at Elements massage in Summerlin. She really knows what she is doing Updated on 5 Mar 2019: It is almost exactly 4 weeks since my surgery and I am in so much pain. I am more swollen at 4 weeks than I was at 2 weeks. I am feeling defeated my the pain of this swelling. And my dr. Wont give more pain pills and extra strength tylenol isnt cutting it I know once healed it will look great but right now I am in tears over chronic pain.

Still get lymph drain massage at least twice a week ( elements massage in summerlin see Sabrina ) sleeping is still a bit hard because i swell way up when laying in bed for many hours to sleep. But still happy with my result, Hopefully swelling with me gone by my 3 months post op date, or so i am told it should all be done by then. still wearing compression garment, it looks like it has been through war. Planning to go back to working out on monday, not sure if i will be running by def walking and light weights. Updated on 19 Mar 2019: Went back to the gym today, my endurance is still there but have to work back up my strenght and power and running. I wore my latex waist trainer during my 1 hour work out for compression. During the actual work out i wasnt in too much discomfort, just have the itchy feeling from healing. however once home and i took off my waist trainer i felt a lot of discomfort. I looked a lot smaller, but then the normal swelling came back. I am so tired of being swollen and sore to the touch. Parts of me still feel detached and odd to the touch and still having trouble sleeping as i swell up a lot during the night My faja fits but is not tight tight , so not sure if i should buy a smaller one Updated on 9 Apr 2019: just hit 2 month post op mark.

very pleasant and welcoming office. Very talented Dr , took his time and happy with the results. highly recommend, you will love this Dr and his staff, they make you feel comfortable and you don't have to wait long they get you right in
It's been about 3 years since my surgery. I chose dr. pancholi even though he was about $2,500 more expensive than all 6 other surgeons I had a consultation with, because apparently boob jobs are hard or else so many people wouldn't have jacked up fake boobs, and I was confident that if the results were unfavorable, Dr. Pancholi had the skill to correct the problem. I was very concerned on what the procedure would be if something were to go wrong and was assured time and time again that it would be taken care of. I came home from my surgery with my left boob looking odd. At every single follow up I was told that it would take a year for things to settle down. 1 year follow up, my left boob looked exactly like it did day 1 post op. I was quoted $1,500 dollars to fix it with side effects that included loss of feeling, constantly hard nipple on that side, and no guarantee that it would work. I decided to not have the second procedure and I was pretty irritated that the issue that I was experiencing was from day 1 of the procedure. It wasn't my body healing weird, it was a surgical error. I recently went to another plastic surgeon to have a consultation to have my left breast corrected and without telling the surgeon, he knew exactly who my original surgeon was because apparently he has fixed the same mistake in multiple former Dr. Pancholi patients. I learned that Dr. Pancholi is actually an ENT who does cosmetic surgery and not an actual plastic surgeon. I have a franken-boob that needs to be surgically corrected. Dr. Pancholi made a mistake that he was unwilling to correct. I was told that my boob looked that way before and that it was an anatomical problem. When in reality, it is a common mistake in breast augmentations that is easily corrected. Updated on 25 Jun 2018: I was contacted by Dr. Pancholi's staff regarding my review. They apologized for my bad experience and asked me to come in for a consultation to correct the issue. I felt like the staff was genuinely concerned about my satisfaction and happiness with my result. The woman who called me also cleared up some misinformation that I was given about Dr. Pancholi. She told me that his training was a program that included ENT and facial plastic surgery and that we went on to training and certification in whole body plastic surgery. I apologize to you all for the misinformation. I have my consultation today and will keep you updated on the process. Updated on 25 Jun 2018: I just had my consultation to have my left breast corrected with Dr. Pancholi. He spent about an hour addressing my concerns. He determined that my left implant needs to be dropped about 2 inches and that aside from a very minor concern, dropping the implant should resolve all of my major concerns. I felt very heard and felt that Dr. Pancholi feels confident he can correct my concerns. He offered to cover the procedure 100%. I felt like he was very honest and real with me. He wanted to make sure that my expectations and his were the same. I will be scheduling my revision somewhere in the next 5 weeks. His staff and schedule was very accommodating to my procedure. I am very happy with how my consultation went and look forward to having my concerns resolved! Updated on 29 Oct 2018: I'm about 2 months post op! I feel like the surgery corrected every complaint I had. I couldn't be happier. The recovery was easy. I still have feeling, and my scar is looking 10x better than it originally did! I am incredibly happy that Dr pancholi's staff reached out to me and offered me the opportunity to correct the issue. My bras fit much better and they look so much more symmetrical!
I am currently 2 weeks into my recovery and I'm highly satisfied with Dr. Pancholi. His staff is super sweet and helpful. They create such a friendly, open and comfortable environment. Dr. Pancholi is also so sweet and informative. He has an amazing eye for detail. I still have alot of recovery time left but so far I'm in love with the results !
I am writing about my experience because I thought that I would NEVER feel good again and I couldn't find any other experiences about the emotional side of this pricess, only the ones about pysical healing. Even up to the 4 week mark, I was questioning whether I had made a bad decision. Did I screw up my perfectly healthy, working body? WHY did I choose to do this to myself? My husband was so helpful, but at the same time, he was angry with me for choosing this and it was hard for him to have the patience that I needed for EVERYTHING; and I do mean everything. Getting on and off the toilet, showering, getting my medicine, etc. After about 5 days, he got frustrated with me. It's not like I needed a kidney trandplant. This was elective surgery. Unnecessary. I talked to my doctor and literally cried in his office when I told him about my 'mean' husband and he told me that it is a common occurence and hard for people to see their loved ones in pain; especially when it wasn't a necessary procedure, and that sometimes they get angry. I felt better after talking to him and I was able to talk to me husband about it. He said that yes, he was mad at me for putting myself through this and that it was hard for him to see me in such a physical pain and emotional stress. The recovery process was very slow and I had a lot of upper abdominal pain and extreme tightness from the muscle repair. I was positive that my doctor had done it wrong, sewed my muscles way too tight and trimmed too much skin off. It was difficult to even inhale for the first few days. I couldn't stand up for two weeks and even after that, the vertical pulling I felt in my abs, especially the upper area, was horrible. Even though I looked upright, I didn't feel upright. I was afraid that my tissues would not soften and I would never be able to walk the way I did before my surgery. My doctor assured me that the tissues would soften and finally, around week 6, they started to give a little bit. Even at week 7, I am still wearing my compession garment at least 12-16 hours a day. It feels better to have it on than off. I found some really good ones at Target. The brand is Assets By Spanx. I went back to work after taking 4 full weeks off. I am a hairdresser so I was a little nervous about returning to work because I was feeling so exhausted allt he time. But, it turned out that going back to work was helpful. Sitting around and sleeping all day was not a good way to help with my recovery. Overall, I think I will be happy with my results. My doctor did an excellent job. I look really good and I can't wait until I feel that way, too. Don't get discouraged. Be patient. It really did take a good 6 weeks before I felt like any version of myself again. I finally feel like the worst is over and that when I progress even further into my recovery, I will really love my results.
I am SO pleased with how my vagina turned out. I was always uncomfortable with the excess skin pulling. After I having labiaplasty, it is like night and day. I stand up, no hanging skin. I go to the bathroom, it’s not a circus. After the 1st day post op, I had NO pain, and no need to take pain meds.
Buccal fat pad removal can help to sculpt the cheek and give it more definition. However, one other reason your cheek may look puffy is by the small projection of your chin. Augmenting your chin will help to bring balance to your lower face and make your cheeks appear more in balance with your overall facial structure.
A lot of "lines" you see on your neck can be helped by treating the platysma muscle that lies underneath the skin. Tightening and even removing portions can do wonders in smoothing out the neck.
It sounds like you have a deviated nasal septum that is causing your nose to bend to one side. Straightening the septum will help correct that. The shape and size of the nostrils can also be changed based on what bothers you. Smoothing out and shaping the dorsum (or bridge) of your nose can also help get that slightly curved look. As far as shortening your nose, one way this can be done is by giving the tip a slight rotation upwards. Going into your surgeon's office for imaging can be quite helpful to see how these changes will make you look!
