I had lipo 360, mini tummy tuck and bbl with Dr. Dickerson on 2/19. From consultation to the day of surgery Dr. Dickerson and his staff was amazing! Omg the day of surgery was the best for me. Initially I was nervous but they quick put my eased my fears, everything was done under local anesthesia and when I say I didn’t feel any pain thats exactly what I mean!

Second Round Fat Transfer to Lips. I can already see a difference

So I got my first procedure done with Dr. Bednar about three years ago and for the last two years I’ve been trying to get a second round of fat done to my lips with Dr. Bednar but he is so so busy that I haven’t been able to schedule appointment. so I looked up in North Carolina to find the best doctors because I love visiting North Carolina and I found Dr. Dickerson. Dr. Dickerson had a lot of reviews so I decided that he would be my best bet. He had also done fat transfer to the face and has done it many many times after. So I felt comfortable with that. my first initial consultation which was on the phone I was very pleased because I was overseas at the time and Dr. Dickerson made the time to talk to me during my very hectic schedule. he suggested that I get another surgery on my face that I wasn’t ready for Which was completely fine because now I know in the future that that could be an option for me. he then went over the procedure quickly and told me that it was no big deal and I’ll be done quickly and you wouldn’t even be able to tell if there was a procedure done and that within a few days and I could go back to work. everything sounded great so I booked the appointment and paid 1000 dollars down and then paid the deposit about two weeks before my surgery I then went to North Carolina, there are a couple women in the office that I think are absolutely fantastic I wish I knew them all my name, (it was all kind of moving a little fast for me and I’m socially anxious as it is) however there are a few really really good people that work here but there’s one or two that I don’t believe are very professional however that’s just my own opinion and I’d rather everyone have their own experiences with everyone Anyway, I was told that my appointment was at 11 AM and I got a text message and a confirmation of the 11am appointment, and the morning of I was then told that it was going to be at noon and for me to get there at 11:30 I showed up at 11:30 and was then told that my appointment was at 1 PM when I asked what time I was actually going to start the procedure it was a bunch of runaround questions and nobody ended up getting back to me so I ended up sitting in the waiting room for about an hour and a half before I then sat in another office to get my blood pressure done, once I got my blood pressure done it was about another 30 minutes before I actually saw Dr. Dickerson Dr. Dickerson then went and numbed me up because I did not want to be put down because I had a 4 Hour Drive ahead of me and I didn’t want to be under any kind of painkillers or any kind of anesthesia that would make me sleepy so after about an hour and a half of waiting to all number up (after being told it would be about 30 mins) I finally got Dr. Dickerson to come check up on me (I’ve been there since 1130 and when I had asked a couple days before how long the procedure will take I was told an hour including the numbing time ) it is now 3 o’clock at this time and I still have not gotten the procedure started. at around 330 I am sitting there in the room with Dr. Dickerson and the nurse and about 45 minutes later the procedure is done. some thing that I really liked about Dr. Dickerson is that because I was awake he kept me very involved in the entire process he even asked my opinion on my lips and whether or not we should put more fat in certain places he also gave me a free filler because we did not have enough fat from the section that we took (which was underneath my chin my neck) the fact that we did not have enough fat to put into my face and my cheeks I was a little disappointed at that because I thought that was the plan however the fact that he gave me ““ free “ filler I guess made it a little bit better I don’t know what kind of filler it was I was not told so I don’t really like the idea of something foreign being in my body without knowing exactly what it is but I’m sure if I asked if I asked him in a couple weeks he would tell me exactly what was aused and if I like it I will use it again. I do not have any implants on my body nor do I have any kind of foreign substances so again having a filler put in and not being sure what it was was a little confusing to me however I kind of feel like it was fast pace and I was afraid to ask too many questions I’m also very socially awkward and get anxious and kind of assume I’m a bother anyway, but still I felt like it was kind of rushed but maybe that’s just me I also wish that they had given me a reasonable time so I wasn’t walking around anxious not knowing how long I was about to be sitting in the waiting room I got to the office at 11:30 I ended up leaving at 445pm after being told that I would be there at 11 and be out in an hour. if you are trying to drive anywhere far I don’t suggest it because, timing wise I don’t think that they give you enough time to actually plan your day good thing I had a driver and everything worked out I really loved how Dr. Dr. Dickerson was very friendly most of the time and I felt very safe with him and I almost felt like I was talking to a friend there were a couple times where I felt pain and I felt like he was a little strict and telling me just to Breathe through it but maybe it’s just cause he was focused on the procedure I don’t know however I am a huge fan of him and if my results turn out good I will definitely be going back and I can’t wait to see how the results come out so I can provide you guys with a very thorough review the pictures that I have attached are the day of the surgery the day after the surgery the second day the third day and I’m writing this review on my fourth day The first day I felt like hell Dr. Dickerson said that I would be up and about and there would be no downtime however I was exhausted I was in a lot of pain because I did not take any painkillers because I wanted to be very aware in case I needed to drive because we had a 3 Hour Drive back to Charlotte and it was late in the day and my boyfriend and I hadn’t slept very well the night before hadn’t slept well the day before , my boyfriend was the one driving so I didn’t want to be any under any medication my lips were extremely swollen but I believe that’s because of the numbing stuff that he put that in them and a very bruised up neck and the first night it was very hard to sleep I also had to wear a chinstrap for three days which I was not told I would have to do that kind of took me by surprise and then when I was given the chin strap I didn’t even catch how long I was supposed to wear it for so for the first couple days I just wore it as much as I could at night and I didn’t wear it during the day because I’m kind of embarrassed to wear it I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a chin bra but they are really ugly and very noticeable I’m actually very glad for Covid because wearing a mask was a perfect excuse to hide my very swollen swollen face the only thing that I couldn’t hide with my very very bruised neck it was purple by day one to the first day was extremely hard to eat so is at very slowly the second day however I cut everything I couldn’t eat into very very tiny pieces and ate very slowly it was hard to smile the first and second day but by day three I was able to smile a little better and now by day four I can smile it just looks really really weird and I still have duck lips the swelling has gone down more and more each day but I cannot wait for it to finally go all the way down so I can actually see my results I can already see a difference in the fat transfer so I’m very excited for that I just hope everything is even and that the numbing didn’t impact the way that the site was transferred we got 1.5 in my bottom and 1.5 on the other side of my bottom lip and believe we got up to 2 mL of my top lip I wanted to 2.5 but that’s OK either way I’m super excited to see how they turn out Updated on 11 Jun 2021: Soooo So much swelling has gone down And it’s safe to say I am so happy I had a consult with a nurse and she told me what kind of filler was used Hyralauirc acid! Yay! Something natural!! That makes me feel so much better!! Also they refunded me money because I didn’t end up using any anesthesia and that was a very awesome surprise I had a few worries But it’s safe to say I will happily go to DR. Dickerson again My lips look beautiful and it’s because of him :) Still some swelling but it will be gone soon yayy :) Updated on 5 Jul 2021: I am so happy to my lips and neck lipo So so happy The results are very subtle and very natural !! I do recommend dr Dickerson Truly I think he knows what he’s doing and I would go to him again in the future!

Liposuction

So far my recovery has been awesome with minimal pain while laying down.

One of the best surgeons, surgical team, staff, nurses, and anesthesiologists I have experienced. I had the abdominoplasty with two areas of lipo on 03/26/2021. My experience from the time of consultation, pre-op, to the day of surgery was one of the best experiences. I can not thank them enough for all that they do and the professionalism that they have all gave me. I am one day out of surgery and do not have any before/after pictures but I will post soon. I know Dr. Dickerson and his team did their best and my outcome of Surgery will be by far the best. So far my recovery has been awesome with minimal pain while laying down. It can be a little worse (mild to medium) while I’m in the process of standing up but once standing and walking it gets better. I highly recommend Dr. Dickerson and his team. Thank you all!!

Best Plastic Surgeon in North Carolina Hands Down!!!

I initially started my journey with Dr. DICKERSON in February of 2020. What brought me to him was his stellar military record and reviews. I also had just undergone gastric bypass and begin to droop. I know that he would be able to help me with this. My initial consult was amazing with Carmen and she was very knowledgeable. I didn't not meet Dr. DICKERSON that day due to him being in the Cary office, which wasn't discouraging at all. We talked about possible procedures that would work for me but they would have to wait because I was still losing weight at a high speed due to having gastric bypass and wanting to avoid multiple surgeries that were the same. I was told to come back in May and I would be ready. I came back in May 50 lbs. lighter and sure enough my body composition changed just as Dr. DICKERSON said it would. Now we were narrowing down which surgeries would be the best beneficial for the silhouette I was trying to achieve. Through this entire journey so far Dr. D never wavered, always provided words of encouragement and made it his mission to give you the most bang for your buck, as well as, the curves you want. My first procedure the BBL took place on July 2019 and the staff along with Dr. D made an impression on me that will stick forever. I have never met a team that genuinely cares about their parents. The passion that Dr. DICKERSON and his team possess is unmatched and like no other. Dr. DICKERSON'S bed side manner is so professional, empathetic and sympathetic, and doesn't waver no matter who is being seen. What put the icing on the cake is after this surgery I was brought to the car by none other than the doctor himself. What other practices do this? Name one. I'll wait. This man is awesome. I recovered from my first surgery successfully and the results exceeded my expectation just like everything else did. Courtney stayed in constant contact with me through my recovery process virtually and in person. Courtney is the epitome of what a great nurse should be and she has a vast array of knowledge. Dr. DICKERSON and her sync very well. It's November 2, 2000 and I'm scheduled for an abdomnioplasty and I'm not nervous at all because Dr. D's work speaks for itself. I get there and get treated like family like always and prep for surgery. Dr. DICKERSON always makes a point to touch base with you as soon as you arrive and walk into his office with your driver and in the exam room during prep. He is very thorough with explaining your procedure along with any questions, comments, and concerns that you may have. By the time he's finish, I feel like I'm headed back to a SPA. Surgery was a success and he one again exceeded my expectations...I knew he would. Dr. DICKERSON did such a good job I was up, out and about walking and getting my favorite Starbucks drink shortly after surgery. Dr. D and his staff make you feel that you are going on a vacation to get pampered when you are preparing for a procedure. You will not be disappointed if you book with Dr. DICKERSON and his staff. I enjoy the way they handle business but at the same time treat their customer's like Rockstars. They have a customer for life.

Exciting journey to a new and improved version of myself

I was very apprehensive about getting any cosmetic surgery done because of my age and the botched jobs you hear about. However, after I spoke with Carmen Maldonado, a Patient Care Coordinator, she eased so much of my apprehension. I called an emailed Carmen so much prior to my procedure, I'm sure I must have been a burden. But she never made me feel like I was an inconvenience to her at all. As a matter of fact, it was quite the opposite, she made me feel as if I were her priority. I had my mother and a close friend with me the the day of my procedure and they both noted how awesome Carmen's care and attentiveness was toward me. We decided, collectively, she needs a raise or special day set aside just for her..... something that shows her how valuable she is.....#Carmen'sCare! It's been a little over 9 days since my procedure and I've seen Carmen four times, telephoned Carmen, and emailed Carmen many many many times and she still without hesitation provides what seems to come so effortless to her #Carmen'sCare! I could literally go on and on but you will just have to check her out for yourselves. Dr. Dickerson is amazing as well and without these two, I wouldn't be on this exciting journey to a new and improved version myself. Thanks to you
