Thomas J. Locke III, MD - Account Suspended

I got my liposuction done at Wise Medical Center in Alpharetta, Ga. Please refer Courtney Estes if you do go to Dr. Locke. Wise center offers In house financing which is great because I have bad credit. I paid 4500 upfront then after my surgery it will be 400 a month. He has a special $1000 per area. He also offers third party financing. My procedure took about 6 to 7 hrs that's including the prepping. I got my full torso that includes my back and my arms done. It's been 1 day post and I'm in pain in order to sleep it's best to sleep in a reclining chair. During my procedure I was under local anesthesia which meant I was awake. At the beginning I didn't feel anything but towards the end I felt a sharp pinching pain. Dr lock added more numbing cream to take away the pain. I would recommend this place to anyone he has great bedside manners, very sweet and cares about his patients. I will post my before pictures then when I get the OK to take a shower I will post the after.

Hello everyone today I have almost stopped draining till I just checked a moment ago in one spot I still have a little drainage. The first day I drained a lot even soaked my pillow. The second day was light drainage. I'm still in pain today but it has calmed down alot. It's not as hard for me to get up and sit down as much now. I still don't see any results but that's normal. I do have bruising, and I bruise easily so that makes it worse. I'm going to start actually dieting today and try to take a walk around the neighborhood. I want to try the warm water and lime in the morning on an empty stomach challenge. I heard that it burns calories throughout the day. Also when I'm in the clear I want to start my phentermine again. I have gotten great results in the past. Furthermore I'm very excited to see results in the next 2 weeks. Up next I plan to get a breast reduction I'm just waiting on my insurance approval. I have united healthcare, I have sent in a referral from my primary physician, chiropractor, and surgeon. So wish me the best of luck. Lol

I went to the Dr. a few days ago for my 1 week follow up. The Dr said everything looked great I still have bruising and I'm taking Arnika Forte for that. I do have some lumps and I'm going to try to wear a waist trainer to get that to go down. Also I wanted to try plastic wrap to smooth out some of the lumps. I know it sounds silly lol but it might work. Also I do see a little difference my stomach looks flatter its still long though. But doc said on my three week follow up I should see a bigger difference. So I'm excited for the results. Also I'm going to get a Lofa so I can scrub away the dead skin around my incisions. To avoid from getting dark marks. And Vaseline to moisturize my skin. I almost forgot I do have a burning sensation and itching. But was told that's good that means I'm healing but its very irritating.

Everything has been okay I've lost 3lbs so far. I can see a little difference still not anything major. My 3 week consultation is this Friday. Only thing that's bothering me is I've been having bad diarrhea. Sorry TMI it's been like this for a week now and as soon as I have to go, I gotta go, period!. Lol if you catch my drift. And I hate to use it in public ugh!! Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks

I am 43 years old and had gained 30 lbs. My hormones were out of control and I felt like crap. I had had smart lipo by a plastic surgeon and he did a fair job. He rushed through it and was not aggressive. I went to Dr Locke at Wise Medical Center. He was warm and friendly and took so much time with me. He first put me on Hormone therapy, and then he did lipo and fat transfer to my butt to fill in dimples from cellulite. He did my stomach and my flanks and I can not believe what a fantastic job he did. He did so many more steps then the plastic surgeon. He was a perfectionist and I could tell that he really cared about giving me the results I wanted. I can not praise this doctor enough. If you need weight loss, hormones, Lipo, or fat transfer GO SEE DR LOCKE. His consultations are free. You will be glad you did!
