Deniz Gocken, MD

I had a facelift a little over a week ago, under the care of Dr. Gocken. I am so happy with the results and care I received. The man has the best bedside manner I have ever seen (this is coming from an RN too). He went into great detail about the surgery, and expectations I had. He was honest and open about the recovery process, and what the results would be. He was able to alleviate mine; and my husbands, concerns about the recovery process. He has a technique that minimizes bruising and swelling. He also uses no drains! I am 8 days past the procedure and feel great. I had the surgery under local anesthesia and I am glad they had that option too. I have almost no bruising at eight days!! I also received great care from Daniella. She was the nurse whom cared for me both pre-op and post-op.

Dr. Gocken is the friendliest and most professional doctor I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was concerned about the eye bags and he explained to me in details about the variety of options to fix it. I am confident with his skills and knowledge. Thank you Candy for recommending him!

Before I came to the surgical center, I was fairly apprehensive about undergoing lower face surgery (curelift). My first consultation with Doctor Gocken was amazing. He not only answered all my questions, but explained the process in a manner that put me at ease. His professional and candid approach assured me that the desired results would be achieved. He was careful to delay the surgery until he was confident that it could be performed without compromise. The day of the surgery, I felt more like a family member than a patient. Doctor Gocken made himself available as I traversed the days following surgery. I am still in the process of healing and Doctor Gocken has been consistent in his care and concerns for my wellbeing. I am very confident that the desired results will be achieved under his care.

Dr. Gocken has a caring heart. I just did lipo and chin reduction 2 days ago so I came to him for post op care. He taught me how to take care of my open wounds and gave me lightstim to help with the swelling. I told him I had concerns about my left hearing and he helped cleaned out the dry blood. He is very attentive. The entire staff was friendly and made sure I was comfortable. They gave me facemask to make sure I feel good to go outside.

This guy is LEGIT. So i hear about his deal on the radio and go see him... I had tuberous breast and many drs wanted to give me a full lift. Eg i am 23 years old so the scars were a no go unless i absolutely needed it...dr Gocken said he did not feel those incisions would be necessary as i had more of a breast deformity than actual droop. He gave me periareolar lift and let me say its healing beautifully...im 2 weeks post and can hardly see where the stitches are! My breast are now perky and lovely and i had minimal pain. I also like him cause i feel like he isnt money hungry. Ive been looking for hip aug and gotten prices from surgeouns but dr gocken stopped me in my tracks and reassured me that i am fine and hopefully children will help my issue. but he agreed w the breast aug and basically said im good on everything else. Most surgeouns would just be thinking "$$$$$"

I'm very satisfied with the job that dr. Gocken has done for me! Several months ago I had a tummy tuck and my scar was really ugly and big since I create keloid it was horrible! Dr . Gocken did a procedure for my scar and changed the scar look a lot! He is also a great human being very kind! I highly recommend him to any procedure! He is simply the best.

My whole experience was fantastic!!!!! From start to finish. Dr Gocken is absolutely the best!!! From the interview to the recovery EVERYONE is wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about it. I have NO regrets at all. I am so happy with the results. It has taken at least 15 years off of my looks. I get complements daily and it makes me feel so good. Thank you life style lift!!! Updated on 26 Mar 2014: Well I am happy as can be!!!! All numbness is gone and all my scars are invisible. No issues at all. Just looking fabulous!!!!!!! Can't wait to get my brow lift done as soon as I get my niece married off in June of this year. Dr Gocken is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From beginning the doctor was fantastic. I felt very comfortable and felt he was very professional. i wanted to look refreshed and better, but not something drastic that said Face lift. I looked at a picture of myself that was taken at a party the other day and I couldn't believe how much better I looked. It has made me feel better about myself and has given me more confidence. I went back to see the doctor after the procedure and he was very supportive and when I said there was something that bothered me, he said as long as there is something he can do to improve it he's not done until I am happy with the results. Wonderful Experience and would definitely go back.

So I had lipo yesterday morning at 7 am. I was soon nervous.  I was put to sleep and I woke up just feeling sore like I did a bad belly flop and butt flop. I went home and felt a little delirious but not that bad.  I relaxed at home for about 5 hours and then I actually was good to walk around and even went to th store with my roommate. The garment is pretty uncomfortable and I have no idea what the surgery turned out like yet. I'm scared to take off my compression garments.  I went to work the next day and no one could even tell I had just had surgery the day before.  I am sore but I'm taking my meds and antibiotics.  Everyone of my friends who knows is completely surprised that I'm this mobile after one day post op. One thing that sucks is that I am so bloated and gassy.  I don't know what it's from but it's so uncomfortable.  I will post pics as soon as I am comfortable enough to take my garments off. Updated Jan. 9, 2012: I am a petite girl, I work out 3-4x a week and work out with a trainer. I have never had the body I wanted because of my genetics even though I eat healthy and workout. My surgery was early in the morning and by 5pm I was walking around and just felt sore but never in pain. I will update this some more later but here are some photos. I am only 4 days post op. Updated on 11 Jan 2012: Some things that were interesting to know and maybe this was because of my height and weight is that a. I didn't drain much at all after surgery. I put new sheets down and everything just in case I was going to drain a lot, but ended up not even have anything soak through my clothes. b. With clothes on, it's really easy to hide the compression garments and no one can even tell I have them on. This is good to know if you aren't telling people about the surgery and no one at work will be able to notice. c. My doctor, the nurses and the anesthesiologist for my surgery were amazing. Makes a huge difference when you feel comfortable with everyone. Right now I'm 6 days post op and I feel the most soar in my inner thighs but just sore as if I had a really hard work out. When I take my compression garment off to shower it feels like a lot of pulling and stretching sensation. My body feels much better when I have the compression garment on and I am going to wear it the full 4-6 weeks as instructed. I found that the best way to sleep during surgery is with a pillow under my legs and on my back. That felt the most comfortable. I'm excited to see what everything looks like in a few weeks.
