Dr. Howell is great. I trust him to tell me the truth about treatments and products. I’ve been seeing him for 8 years for Botox and had PRP six months ago. I’m very pleased with the results and with Dr Howell overall.
As busy as Dr Howell is, he still treat his patients himself. I think he is the most ethical and professional doctor in his field and I know he’s not guessing when I deal with him. He always gets it right.
There is a time in our life that we think we just need to give up. Well, that is where I was before Dr. Howell. I was wearing wigs everyday and had come to the realization that this was the way it was going to be. My son heard an advertisement on the radio and told me about it so I went in for a consultation. One of the best days of my life! Dr. Howell said YES, he could help me. I immediately started the treatment, that day! Within 6 weeks the lady that does my hair was amazed. She said it looked like little trees growing on my scalp. Within 3 months I was amazed. I immediately stopped wearing wigs and was so excited to see the changes taking place. Today, I am a different person. I tell everyone that I see about Dr. Howell and this treatment. Several ladies that go to the Hair Salon have tried Dr. Howell and had the same great results. Also, the men in the salon have told their clients with great results as well. As a woman you are limited on what you can do and how you look with/without hair. This has changed the way I feel and look. I highly recommend Dr. Howell and his staff. I even give Dr. Howell my permission to give you my number if you need that encouragement to take the step to look better and feel better about yourself. Don't hesitate to call.
Lip fullness added. Cheek fullness added and under eye filled in with injection. Used Belotero used for under my eyes, Radiesse for my cheeks and Ultra Plus for my lips! Love it!! Best doctors office. I highly recommended. Wouldn’t trust anybody else with my face. Super staff so sweet and informative.
Single guy in my 30s who does 2-3 workouts a day, eats clean and could not get rid of the inner-tube for the life of me. I scheduled a consultation to see what my options. I met Kirk & Dr. Howell and explained my situation. I told them how I had Cool Sculpting done about 2 years prior, but wasn't overly impressed with those results. I told them I workout 2-3 times a day, 7 days a week, and eat a pretty clean diet and can still not get rid of my problem areas. They listened and understood exactly what I wanted. They suggested Vaser Liposuction and educated me on it. I was sold. I told them I had an upcoming beach vacation in about 3 months so I would like most swelling to be gone by then so they were able to schedule my procedure 12 days after my consultation. When I left my consultation I felt extremely comfortable, informed about my procedure, and was excited to have it done. The next step was another appointment about a week before surgery (pre-opt appointment). Mrs. Melissa was my nurse and she went over everything and made sure all my questions were answered. (When I could workout again, how long the procedure is, etc.) Finally surgery came and I was anxious; not nervous just anxious. Their staff could not have been any more accommodating to ensure I was at ease. My mother took me to the clinic the day of surgery and stayed with me. I had told them she was more nervous than I was so they educated her on the procedure, answered her questions (being a Mom) and kept her informed while I was in surgery. Actual surgery: they num you up good, but you are awake. I was nervous about this, but it was nothing. No BS, it is very doable. I have a fairly high tolerance for pain, but it wasn't bad. To be honest, Cool Sculpting hurt more with the vacuum suction than this procedure. There were one or two spots were I did feel it more than others and I told Dr. Todd and he was able to apply more numbing medicine before starting again. Again, the entire surgery Dr. Todd and nurse Melissa was right there with me constantly asking if I was ok and making sure I was comfortable. Surgery was about 3 hours as I had both flanks (love handles) and stomach done. Afterwards you have to wear this compression suit for 6 weeks to help with the swelling etc. I knew about this in the consultation and Mrs. Melissa was able to help me get in my garment and explain when I can take it off etc. I then went home to rest. I was sore, but I expected that so I just laid in bed the remainder of the day. The next day Dr. Todd wanted to see me again for a check-up. This was the first time seeing my results without the garment. I was so impressed. He smiled and said "If you are happy with the results now, just wait until the swelling goes down." During the consultation they explained how I will continue to see results 4-6 months after surgery date. If anyone is considering having this done I highly recommend it. I will gladly post my pre surgery and post surgery pics once my swelling goes down. I hope this review was helpful and if you are in the Baton Rouge or Lafayette area I highly recommend the Anti Aging Clinic. Updated on 28 May 2018: It's been just over 3 weeks. I'm very happy with the results and Dr. Todd said they will continue to improve because I am still early on. Week 1 after surgery I could only sleep on my back because my stomach and sides were too sore, but I am able to sleep on sides again; haven't tried stomach. I'm working out again; everything but core. I met with the trainer at the gym and he suggested no free weights until I am in the 6 weeks clear. So I am doing machines, lower weight, double/triple the reps. I complete each workout with stretching and a session on the elliptical. By week 3 pretty much all my bruising has disappeared. In fact, I went to the pool with friends and no one noticed a thing; it was nice being out of my garment, but I am still wearing it religiously. I'll continue to post pics and updates.

MOTIVATION: To help my quest to age beautifully and healthy. I am a 48 year old black female and aging beautifully and healthy is very important to me. In spite of walking five miles in the morning and working out two hours in the gym daily, I still was not seeing the results I wanted especially in my inner thighs, lower abdomen, and upper arms that's when I decided to have the liposuction to my inner thighs first, then, I will have the other areas done as well. During my decison process, I talked to Dr. Howell about my inability to loose the fat in my problem areas and he said, "at a certain age in life, even with exercise and clean eating the body needs help sometimes" when he said that, I felt a confirmation in my spirit and a few days later I scheduled my procedure. Ladies, I did this for myself. We give and give and this is for me. I want to look at this 48 year old aging body, naked in the mirror, and love what I see. PROS: Affordable, same day procedure in doctor's office, very supportive staff CONS: Minimal anesthesia, painful to sit on hard surfaces (liposuction to inner thighs) OUTCOME: Very pleased. Will have three more areas done
Dr. Howell is the absolute BEST! When it comes to Lip Augmentations you really have to find a experienced physician. Dr. Howell is known for being the best in Baton Rouge and it’s true. He is. Everyone compliments me on my lips and I couldn’t be happier with them! His staff is always so amazing and the clinic has a very relaxing and modern feel to it! If your looking to have anything Aesthetic done, The Aesthetic Medicine & Anti- Aging Clinics is the place to go!
I have been a patient of Dr Howell's for several years now, and over the years have had liposuction as well as botox, fillers, and most recently hormone replacement. He is wonderful, is staff is great, and I have been nothing but happy with my results every single time! I love my lipo results, and would recommend Dr Howell to anyone who might be considering having it done!
Recently underwent Hi Def Vaser Liposuction( 5 days ago). Highly recommend Dr. Howell and his entire clinical staff. Starting with my initial consult Dr. Howell and staff provided detailed instructions in a relaxed professional manner. Already incredible results, wish I had underwent this procedure years ago! If I could give 6* I would!
I am 18 year's old, have always been overweight. I have played sports my ENTIRE life, most of my weight is muscle, but my thighs and abdomen refuse to get smaller. I have been asking for this for the last 3 years, and am finally getting it done for graduation. I am really nervous, because i am deathly scared of pain. Will the Local Anesthia really hurt? and is it worth it? Updated on 17 May 2011: Well my doctor just called me and told me it would be done a day earlier than what I was supposed to! So I will be done on the 26. I'm really nervous..I will be doing it on my lower and upper abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, And my arms. And my bannana roll. Everyone say they think im stupid. But I can't lose the extra fat to save my life :( Should I be really nervous!! Updated on 20 May 2011: So it is 6 more days till My procedure.. I'm very stressed and nervous I've lost 5 pounds this month from stressing over it. I really hope this is worth it. I just can't wait for My thighs to be slimmer. Other than the local Anes. Will the actual procedure hurt? Updated on 21 May 2011: 5 day's till my procedure and i am really nervous. Updated on 22 May 2011: 3 days till my procedure!

Updated on 28 May 2011: So day 2. I'm not bruised that much. But I am swollen and a bit sore...I get lightheaded when I take my garment off but it might be bc I don't eat Updated on 2 Jun 2011: day 7: Im still a bit sore, but nothing i cant handle. i havent taken any of the prescribed meds. im swollen and still numb. ive lost around a good 8 pounds from it. i refuse to leave my house until final results because no one knows about this.
While it is certainly not normal, I feel confident that it is NOT necrosis. I would like to see some closer pictures because it is difficult to determine if I'm seeing filler bumps under your lip, or is it possibly a fever blister outbreak. While I feel that you will probably be just fine, right now you have to wait and see what progresses. If it becomes very painful, or the lip starts looking worse, head to the emergency room immediately. In any case, I would have a physician look at your lip at least daily for the next several days to follow its progress. I hope this helps.
