I had liposuction on my abdomen and flanks just a week ago and couldn’t be happier! After all the research I did, I decided on ABS because of how detailed and aggressive Dr. Zuhlke is for stubborn areas. I am so glad I decided to go through with the procedure and I’d do it again in a minute flat. The staff is unreal! They are so attentive and reassuring. Kelly had me laughing and relaxed before surgery and Dana has been so incredibly comforting post-op.
I am a 40 year-old mom of two (10 months & 3 years-old) with chronic back & neck pain from scoliosis. I have been very large chested since I was a teenager. I’ve always wanted a reduction but waited until I had kids & was done nursing. I found Dr Zuhlke online & he was one of the only plastic surgeons I found in Denver, CO who took insurance. Originally, insurance denied my reduction, but I fought it & requested a peer to peer review with Dr Zuhlke & the insurance doc. I gave insurance a letter from my spinal surgeon & my MRI results & they approved the surgery. I went from a size F/G to a B/C. I couldn’t be happier! I already feel so much lighter! They look great too! Dr Zuhlke & his nurse Karen were amazing to work with! I highly recommend them!
I searched a long time for a doctor who had a solution for my belly button after babies it had separated but I was trying to find something without leaving me with a tummy tuck scar all I wanted was the top part of my belly button to be fixed. I found an amazing doctor and I’m so happy I did. It was only a few months (I can’t remember the exact date so I’m just guessing it was March) so the scar is still red at about a year it should start fading.
At Advanced Body Sculpting Institute, we only work with awake liposuction, unless we are doing a tummy tuck - which clearly needs to be done under general anesthesia. You appear to be a great candidate for liposuction of the abdomen - upper/lower and we can include the hips and flanks if that is something you are interested in minimizing as well. Typically, for our awake liposuction procedures, you're appropriately medicated with pain and anxiety medications before and you are able to self-administer Pronox during your procedure to help minimize discomfort. Our patients love Pronox and they also remain pain-free during their surgery. While the techniques may mirror the same, you want to make absolute sure you are going to a board-certified surgeon who has experience in awake liposuction. Wish you the best!
