I saw Lisa Meyers for skin rejuvenation and I could not be more pleased. I came in with a tough problem when it comes to skin... pores. Lisa came up with a great plan to address my skin concerns and only a week later I can already see the difference. Lisa has incredible skills and is also a blast to spend time with. I cannot recommend her or Dr Merkel enough!
Over the last 20+ I have had 3 procedures done by Dr. Merkel, my most recent was face lift, upper lids and the C02 laser treatment. I couldn't be happier with his work. He is an amazing doctor and I would highly recommend him.
I loved my experience with Dr.Merkel and his staff! The ladies there are wonderful and so kind! Both the doctor and the Anesthesiologist gave my boyfriend their numbers to call if something wasn’t right in the middle of the night! They were easy to contact and text during the day of the surgery and the days that followed! Dr. Merkel even came in on his day off for my follow up bc it worked better for me! You also get great discounts from all the doctors in the office after you get surgery there! Hello beautiful boobs and skin!!!
I have wanted a mommy makeover for years after having four kids. I was nervous but decided to see Dr. Merkle. After the consultation I knew he was the right choice. I had my breast augmentation two weeks ago and I’m so happy with the results. The procedure went smooth and Dr. Merkle spent time going over everything with me and has been wonderful at my follow up appointments. He truly cares about his clients. I am doing the tummy tuck with him next month.
I have type 1 diabetes and wanted breast augmentation after breastfeeding two children. I am a R.N. for over 12 years and know the risks of any type of surgery. I finally decided to consult plastic surgeons for the procedure and after spending nearly 2 hours at the initial consult with Dr. Merkle, I decided he was the best surgeon to do my procedure. He was very diligent, caring, and patient. He spent 4 hours in the OR to make sure the job was done to his perfection. He made sure to use extra precaution both pre and post-operativly to prevent any complications from the surgery. He even gave me his cell phone number and answered it when I had a low grade fever D2 post op, which turned out to be from the anesthesia, which is common. He was as diligent post op as during the surgery and even included ultrasound to help relax the tissues to promote quicker healing at no extra cost. He uses the highest quality implants and his amazing office staff sent off the warranty for me. He felt I needed to be seen to make sure things were going well and came in on his day off! He is not only an extremely skilled surgeon, but an equally great person. I am extremely satisfied with my results thanks to Dr. Merkle.
I am so happy. I initially chose Dr. Merkle because his office is the only one locally to offer an in-house surgical suite, along with IV sedation as opposed to general anesthesia. I have been absolutely amazed with Dr. Merkle’s bedside manner. From consultation to post-op, he has taken his time, answered all of my questions and eased my fears. His staff is the same way, all very caring and thorough. And to think, I almost considered traveling to a larger city to find more choices in Doctors. The best choice was right here in Grand Junction!
Dr. Merkel and his staff where very kind and made me feel really comfortable about my procedure. I chose Dr. Merkel because of his 40 years experience in the practice, kind staff, in office surgical room and conscious sedation. I liked that this office is small and personal as well. Dr. Merkel also gives out his cell phone number to his patients and they can call any time with questions or concerns after their surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Merkel and his staff to anyone looking for Breast Augmentation.
Dr. Merkel is very patient, he took his time to explain the procedure and made sure I understood what he was doing. He did my tummy tuck and I am healing very fast. I highly recommend him, and I know I will be going back for future procedures. His staff is very friendly.
I got a breast augmentation two days ago. My situation is unusual and getting this procedure done made me super anxious. I have a very low BMI and an unusual shaped chest where my sternum protrudes and my chest wall is sloped outward on both sides. I started out with an A cup and all I really wanted was to be a little bigger so my chest would not look so bony and to hide my protruding sternum. I ended up getting a little over 400cc's on my left breast and a little under 400cc's on my right below the muscle. They now look very pretty and you can no longer see my ribs between or above my breasts. I am only two days post op so I am looking forward to see how they look when the swelling goes down.
Don't get confused and think botox is a filler and can augment your lip! It is a paralyzer of muscle and one has to be very careful as to where it is injected Your concern for the smaller upper lip is not new. The volume ratio for upper to lower is 40% upper to 60% lower. If your proportion is different than that then the fillers can augment the disproportionate lip very nicely. Pick your 'injector' carefully
Diabetes is not the" don't go there" disease it was once thought to be; Naturally to under go any surgery, the patient would present in the best shape possible. This includes keeping ones weight under tight controll, having a balanced blood sugar and being able to take the prophylactic antibiotic of choice in advace of the surgery.
Microcurrent treatments are very temporary. For a lasting result, a 4 lid blepharoplasty would be my recommendation, possibly combined with a brow lift (not forehead lift)
Ultrasound can be good, but radio frequency is better, in my opinion, such as used with the Accent machine.
Yes, I would say so, but it needs to be combined with lipo-infiltration. Fat is the best filler!
