Joseph D. Alkon, MD

I am happy to be a patient of Dr. Alkon, very professional in his work in the clinic, they are very aware of my recovery, it is worth every dollar, I recommend them 100%loving my new body as I say it's worth it

I had tt/lipo360/bbl/hernia repair only one week ago and I feel good. First couple a days are rough but it got better by day 5. I chose my doctor because of his honesty and he puts your safety first. His office staffs are very very organized Omg Angelic is the best and the sweetest. My body looks great already and I don’t have much swelling. (In love).. My doctor is thee best to me . I will definitely be back to him In the near future ..

I am 1 day post op with Alkon and so far, I am loving my results. He cares so much about his patients and the staff at the hospital will tell you. Every detail and decision is made by him. From the moment you enter for the surgery down to post op. His is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. I will be going back to him in the future.

My experience with Dr Alkon was great. I’m SO happy with my results and how my surgery (TT, Lipo360, BBL) turned out. Dr Alkon is an extremely skilled surgeon. I’m so thankful I trusted him with my life. This is MAJOR surgery, worry about your docs skills vs his personality. With Dr Alkon you get the truth no matter how hard it is to hear.. he’s a straight shooter, no sugar coating.

I am currently 2 weeks post up lipo 360/BBL and have had a great experience thus far. Dr. Alkon is humble and personable. He is always accessible to his patients, even during off-hours, and genuinely cares about his patient's experiences/health/results. I did a lot of research, for many years, prior to choosing him as my physician. I have learned that many surgeons are difficult to get on the phone and do not schedule follow-up visits with their patients following surgery, aside from the very first visit immediately afterwards. While Dr. Alkon's pricing was much more than other surgeons, for what I got done, he is well worth it! His costs not only include the procedure, hospital care and initial visits, but it also includes two garments, a booty pillow, scar cream and ALL of the follow-up visits after the procedure (he will see you several times over the months following the procedure which will not be an additional fee). At this point, my healing has well exceeded my expectations and I am feeling great! I definitely got what I paid for!! I will post pictures soon!

Day 3 post-op....
PAINFUL, itchy, uncomfortable, but as far as I can see, it was worth it. I still have a crazy amount of swelling so it is very hard to determine what im going to end up looking like, but I'll keep posting post-op recovery because its definitely the serious part you wanna think about in terms if being able to handle the procedures..
More on details as my posts progress

After having my 2 sons (2009 and 2014) I couldn't lose weight. I got depressed and felt awful about myself... unattractive and spent. My highest weight/ lowest point was the summer of 2017 when I reached my highest weight- 215lbs (my height is only 5'2"). I met the criteria for my insurance to cover gastric sleeve surgery in October of 2017. I have been gradually loosing weight since then. By 2019, my weight had stabilized to around 140lbs... but the skin stayed. I have been wanting this procedure for as long as I can remember me had my surgeon picked out 4 years ago. Had my mommy makeover done on 10/19/20. My final results are still pending, but I'm seeing massive improvements as the days go on. As I explain to others, "I felt like a fully restored car with the original ratty interior." when they inquire about my reasons for going forward with my procedure. I lost 60-70lbs and my skin was too big for my body. I saw my potential when I pulled my skin taught- and decided just to go for it. I was nervous as anything leading up to the surgery- and it's way more painful than I had expected. I was getting frustrated during the first few weeks because I kept draining too much- so my drain had to stay in an extra week than typical. It was starting to really wear on me mentally and physically. When my last drain was removed, I could have done backflips with happiness. I'm glad I have the winter to heal, as I'll emerge next summer as a whole different woman that can finally wear a string bikini in public

Swelling has mostly resolved ... scar is starting to lighten. My skin (specifically where the lipo was in my back and flanks) is sill tight and sore (like sunburn). I massage and moisturize my skin nightly to help - along with stretching during the day. I’m not used to performing this level of self-care...I’m kinda more on the “10 minutes to get ready” scale of womanhood... lol.. I normally neglect myself to care or others- but now I’m really loving how I look (and seeing my potential) and I want to take care of and preserve (if not improve) all of it. Harder recovery than I imagined, but worth it - simply by the mental health boost I got.

Hitting the gym 2-3xs a week and I’m so glad I can physically see the results. Toying with the idea of getting into bodybuilding/bikini competition… not mentally ready right now.. enjoying my Cadbury mini eggs too much
Definitely will be wearing a bikini this summer- kept my scar covered all last summer and been moisturizing and massaging it every day

I’m on day 11 post op from tummy tuck, muscle repair & 360 Lipo and already in love with my results. The results aren’t even fully shown yet! Dr Alkon has transformed me in a way I could have only imagined. Fast, Straight forward, clear Consultation. Several follow up calls to see how I’m going which was greatly appreciated. I 100% recommend Dr. Alkon and his team.

I can start by saying how happy I am with my results after my bbl, lipo 360 and tummy tuck and I’m less then 2 weeks post. Dr Alkon was very professional and has the best bed side manners, for him health is his number 1 priority which is the reason why I never looked any further. He has magic hands because he not only performs the procedure but he sculpts your body according to your shape. His office staff was always organized, attentive and professional and BTW we love Angie, she’s great!!!
I would highly recommend Dr Alkon and I wish I could rate him a 10. Glad to be one of his dolls.

Hi all! So I went into this surgery extremely nervous and didn't know what to expect, but Dr Alkon and Angelica (receptionist) were great. Although he definitely speeds through the consult and appointments, he was great! He answered all my questions and gave me a realistic idea of what I would look like. I was very nervous of many different outcomes, like a Niki Minaj butt, botched TT, etc. But I will let my pics do the talking! I am currently 13 days post op and I am finally seeing my true shape and LOVING IT. I'm 25, no kids but had a lot of weight loss (70 lbs) and I got a TT/360 lipo and BBL.

Hi everyone! So if I can offer anyone advice who is getting the same procedure, BE PATIENT! The first week post op, I absolutely hated how I looked. I had love handles, stomach was still huge, and my butt was square. Dr Alkon told me it was all swelling but I was skeptical. But now being 4.5 weeks post op, I feel silly being so upset about how I looked in the beginning. At 4.5 weeks, my butt is starting to fluff and drop and my waist is going in a lot more, and the stomach tightness is going away. The lymphatic massages definitely helped a lot with that. I went to Amare Healing Arts and they worked wonders so do not skip them. These pics are 2 weeks post op vs 4.5 weeks post op.
