The Best of the Best

About 3 years ago i had a mommy make over horrible experience but the day after that surgery i was on my instagram and Dr. BBL showed up on my feed since that day i started following him on social media and as the time passed i was getting convinced of having my lipo and bbl that previously failed with another dr. Its been only day 7 of my lipo 360 BBL and chin lipo not to mention im a plus size mexican/latina 31 years old with 3 kids not with the best body but i am in love with my results i know its too soon to know what to expect but from what my eyes are looking right now man there’s no words to express how happy i am so far I highly recommend Dr. chris balgobin.. to all my latinas grils out there this is the right one no need to travel to other states or even out side of the usa he is the ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN MN. And one last but so important thing shoutout to ANAI she is the best nurse/staff never felt so well taking care of from someone i just meet she’s the best of best in everything she does.. not to mention she speaks spanish so it makes her a chingona (dr she deserves a raise) all the other staff was so welcoming and kind but anai is my #1 to go to. Thank you Dr. BBL forever grateful.

Great experience from start to finish - 4 days post-op liposuction

Everything was great from start to finish. I was a little nervous at first but every staff member was especially welcoming and helpful. Tamika took such good care of me for 5 days. She was comforting and helped me through every pain and rough patch. I briefly met Edna who was also a sweetheart. Mari was amazing with the massages. All the staff and nurses at the Medspa were wonderful as well.

I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look

Don’t look any further—Book your consultation! I dragged my feet for a year before I even booked my consultation. Dr B is VERY professional and made me feel so comfortable before surgery. Dr B is very informative and doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s to the point and let’s you know what your options are for your body and the results you are looking for. To be honest, I’m a rule follower and all the pre-op info was very overwhelming to me because it was the first time I’ve ever had plastic surgery. I wanted to do all the things right and to ensure I would protect my expensive investment. Do your homework. There’s more into the post-op than the surgery itself. Dr B and his team will stay in touch and guide you through your entire journey. I’m 14 weeks post-op and I’m still healing! Make sure you are prepared when you go back home. Book Dr B’s very own recovery house—it’s worth every dollar and knowing what I know now, it shouldn’t even be something you decide to skip! The first few days you are drenched in blood/fluids from open draining incisions & tubes. Having the assistance from the recovery house and someone to help you out of the messy dressings was a must for me! I felt safe, well taken care of, and loved in the house. They even drive you to and from all your post op visits with Dr B. Day 4 started the emotional and mental roller coaster that would last a few months—be prepared for this!! Make sure you’re aware it does take a while to recover. I was nieve and thought I’d bounce back asap. Allow yourself the time off the week after surgery and get your massages. Dr B did an amazing job and I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look. I’m blessed to have found the very best in this field and have my confidence back! #momof2

I won’t go anywhere else - so lucky to have this doctor and team

I absolutely love this place! I have been going here since 2019 and haven’t ventured anywhere since. From the moment I walk in, Libby or Melissa are so welcoming along with Chris the office manager. I have been in for Botox, filler, and 360 lipo with BBL. Dr Balgobin is the master of what he does. I feel so fortunate to actually be local to someone that really cares and enjoys what he does. Always adding the latest procedures and the first in the country for permanent booty filler. My friend just had it done and loves it! She also had lipo and no BBL and the ab etching on her is so hot! I’m so happy to have introduced many people here. When it comes to the walk through on procedure, Aftercare and overall experience with the surgery of lipo/bbl I felt in very good hands. Highly recommend Arijai! They have definitely help turned back the time clock for me and I feel so confident. Also I must add the facials, skin pen and ZO skin care are a must.

Vaser Liposuction

3 months post op - completely blown away by my results

I am a 40 year old mom of one. Have always workout, ate good, have done the best I can to keep myself in shape. The thoughts of a tummy tuck just wasn’t for me personally. Along with other places I had visited for other options. I came to Dr. Balgobin regarding my concerns with saggy/lose skin. He said I would be a good fit for Vaser assisted lipo, along with J Plasma. Let me tell you!! I am only 3 months post op, and am completely blown away by my results. On top of my booty looks AMAZING, and I didn’t even get a BBL. Lol. Knowing that I will have continued results in the months to come has me super excited!! Him, along with his staff are very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. Inviting, cozy environment. Shout out to both Tara, and Dani for being right there to answer any of my post op questions/needs. Thank you ladies. Would highly recommend anyone considering cosmetic surgery to set up your consultation with Dr. Balgobin.

Mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old

Dr. Balgobin made me feel so safe. I wasn’t scared at all and it’s because of him. He took every precaution there was to assure my safety. I told him what I wanted my body to look like, and he did it for me. He listened to my wants and needs. He told me exactly what to expect. He follows up with me, till this day. The level of care that this doctor gives is commendable, not to mention the results. His clinic is VERY CLEAN. The operating room was like a high end hospital. The staff is just as amazing as he is. I love the experience that I’ve had with Dr. Balgobin (BBL) and his team! The body he gave me is the nicest body I’ve ever had in my life. I’m a mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old. Thank you, Dr. Balgobin.

Lipo 360

Already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work

My experience was amazing from begining to end! I did liposuction 360, arms and inner thighs as well as opted for the 5 day recovery house stay after surgery because I was coming all the way from Toronto, Canada.I was picked up from the airport by Nurse Edna and she was so friendly and welcoming, gave me the run down of how everything works but my time with her was short because she swapped out with nurse Tamika who was also fantastic. She drove me to my surgery and all post op appointments, cooked all my meals, changed bedding and provided daily dressing care, provided medication reminders, ensured we were always hydrated and even laughed and joked with us. She made the experience even better with her honest, funny, outgoing, and down to earth personality. Nurse Tamika went above and beyond for us girls in the recovery house and was always providing valuable information needed for the best recovery possible. I hope to see her again one day! Dr. Balgobin was one of the coolest doctors I've ever met in my life. I met him before surgery and he explained his methods and process and it was so comfortable to talk to. He is confident, knowledgeable and realistic which is absolutely necessary in a doctor when they're about to alter your appearance. He also entered my post op appts with the nurse to check on my progress which I absolutely appreciated. I am still swollen at day 5 post op but I am already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work. Dr. Dan was my anesthesiologist and he was informative and explained exactly what it is that he does and how he would monitor me during the procedure. I was grateful for him because he also made me realize that I was not actually allergic to a specific medication that I was under the impression that I was. I woke up from surgery feeling fine with no lingering after effects. Nurse Daniel was a SUPER STAR, she just knew her stuff. She explained everything whether it was small or big and made sure I understood the information. She was there every step of the way, in surgery, when I had IV therapy, post op appts, changing of my garment, and continuously reminded me that this is all a process and that post care is very important to achieve the body we want. At the beginning of this process I was terrified but the entire team made those feeling diminish and my experience was more than worth it. I would recommend Dr. B and his team every single time. Thank you everyone for such a memorable experience! There's still so much more I could say!

34 BMI , BBL, Lipo 360, J Plasma - thankful to have gone to him

All I can say is I'm thankful to have gone to him. Anyone looking to see a surgeon that actually care about their patients results and safety should go to Chris. I am extremely happy with my results. The recovery house is amazing I didn't want to leave the food was so good. Your treated like family. Thank you DR Chris Balgobin I am not one for many words or reviews but I felt other women should know how happy you made me and how happy you could make them.

Nothing less than amazing - completely changed the shape of my body

My experience with staff and Dr BBL has been nothing less then amazing ! Everyone was so kind! The process of preparing was so easy , and the staff did not hesitate to answer any questions I had prior to surgery! Dr BBL was honest, informative, about what expectations I should have after receiving these procedures. He COMPLETELY change the shape of my body ! Sometimes when trying clothes on it gets me a little emotional because I had been so self conscious about things I would wear I would avoid a lot , or cover up wearing a jacket or tie something around my waist ! Let me add that At my thinnest, heaviest, and most fit my body was always square! So to see curves has been phenomenal ! The recovery house as well I don’t know what I would do without Tamika she helped me so much, cooked amazing, had my meds ready , helped me get back and forth , and treated me very respectful !
