Wade Banker, MD

I had a tummy tuck w/ lipo suction under local anesthesia, and I can say that my experience here was great they were very informative, I'm still swollen from my procedure but I know the results are going to be great!!

Very easy recovery and anxious to see final results. Only 4 dpo but very happy even though swollen. Do it girls! I'm more bruised now in day 4. Will post another pic in a week. Very pleased with everything. Praying for speedy healing

5 months post op. Feeling so great. I go back for my back and I'm so excited. Anyone on the fence should do it. It will change your life. I would recommend Dr. Banker to anyone. Swelling does come and go but settling down.

I was very anxious and nervous about the idea of going through Awake breast augmentation. I had my procedure this morning and I tell you, it was not bad at all! The staff made me feel as relaxed as possible and reassured me along the way. I was in the procedure a little over 2 hours and that flew by! I couldn't believe how fast! They all talked with me about life stories, keeping me distracted from what was going on. I have no complaints whatsoever!

It has been over 24 hours since my breast augmentation. I feel pretty good; able to get up and walk around, but pretty reliant on the pain medication yet. I'm very sore, especially under left axilla. I am anxious to get this wrap off Monday and get another look at my new breasts!

Love them! Best thing I've ever done for myself! I was an extremely deflated borderline lift but Dr Banker worked miracles and gave me beautiful results without giving me anything I didn't want! I started a 32b and am now a 32 DD . I had a lot of bruising after surgery but that was by far the worst part of recovery! It was so much easier than I even knew it would ever be!

After having my son my weight has fluctuated but no matter how much I lost I always had the "shelf". After getting Juvederm at Luxe Laser Center I started looking into the SmartLipo pamphlets I saw around the Center...I decided to take the plunge and scheduled it the same day as the consultation. Dr. Banker was very kind, energetic and completely upfront about what he felt he could do with my body. The procedure itself took around 7 hours for upper and lower abdomen, flanks and back with the laser skin tightening as well. A local anesthetic was used along with the tumescent fluid and I was awake and taking the the Dr. and assistants during the entire procedure! I'm only 8 days out right now, but the swelling and pain are finally starting to really subside...I am so excited to see my final results months down the road, but for now I am one happy customer!

I've been massaging the harder areas, which seems to make the swelling go up a little more during the course of the day. These pics are from first thing in the AM. Loving everything so far!! Why is this sharpie so hard to get off lol?!

Every day is a little better! This is first thing in the AM on day 14. I've been trying to scrub the marker off in the shower and have been using rubbing alcohol but the sensation is so weird (still numb right now) I can't do it for very long. It'll come off eventually lol.

I've been wanting lip injections for so long but felt like it just wasn't something that regular people did...until I started researching juvederm and realized that it's actually possible to get totally natural and beautiful results!!! Everyone at Luxe Laser Center made me feel so comfortable and at ease through the entire process. The nurse, Nicole (LOVE HER), decided it would be best to start slow with me since I was so nervous. We started off by adding 1 half of a syringe to my top lip only during my first session...the swelling was shocking, not going to lie..and it did last about a week. But I loved what I saw!! When I came in for my second appointment Nicole added a little more to my top lip and some volume to the bottom. I'm now a few months out and I am so much happier than I could have even imagined.

I had spider veins on my nose and chin that always flared up at work so I decided to have them treated at Luxe Laser in Maumee Ohio. This was supposed to be a simple procedure with zero down time so I really didn’t put the thought or research into it that I should have. I ended up with serious burns that left permanent scars on my face. Dr Banker said he had no idea how the burns occurred but offered to do additional services at no charge to “make things right.” No thanks. Don’t go here.

I’m a 40 yo redhead. I wanted to correct dark circles, sunspots, redness, minor acne scars on chin and slightly hooded eyes. Numbing cream for 1 hr and 6 lidocaine injections. Feels like a strong sunburn, which is nothing new for me. Dr. Baker at Luxe Laser in Maumee, Ohio was fantastic! I can’t wait to see my results over the next several months.

Oddly, pain really wasn’t an issue for me. I never had to take the Tylenol with codeine. Whenever my face itched, I made sure there was enough Vasoline on there to rub with medium pressure with my fingertips, (not fingernails)! If that didn’t work, I’d use the vinegar/water/ice solution to soak a clean washcloth in and after squeezing it out, applying it with pressure to my face for 10 seconds and referring/repeating until the itchiness stopped. Here are more pics of my progress. My swelling is 90% gone. Mild itchiness/tightness/redness still which some faint raw patches. I actually wore makeup yesterday. And it covered everything. I added a few things to my recover regimen. Arnicare Cream for swelling and bruising and Egyptian Magic, am all natural skin cream that feels like vasoline but less greasy and gross. I’d use the vasoline for the 1st 3 days as recommended, but this is great after that.
