I got the procedure done the summer before my freshman year of college. At the hospital, the nurses were so kind, and Dr Michelow was so reassuring and gentle. It was a difficult recovery period, but I’ve never felt more comfortable in my body. It’s been around 14 weeks, and I still have some nerve damage in my nipples but it was still completely worth it.

Thirteen years ago, I lost 100 pounds after gastric bypass surgery. I committed myself to a lifestyle of healthier living and exercise. Despite my best efforts, I was left with a flabby hanging stomach. No matter how much I exercised or dieted this section of my body was not going to change. As a runner or at the pool, I was embarrassed to take my shirt. I decided it was time to do something about getting this remedied and began searching on the internet for a plastic surgeon who specialized in tummy tucks for men. That is how I found Dr. MIchelow and I am so thankful and happy I did!! My consultations with Dr. MIchelow went very well. He listened to my concerns and expectations. I showed him a sport trunk swim suit and said I need to look good in this, because that is what I swam in while doing my swim training. He talked about body contouring and gave me realistic expectations of what I could expect from the surgery. The surgery took about 3 1/2 hours. One of the things I appreciated by Dr. Michelow, was his quality of pain management. With the pump that I took home with me and the proper medications, I had minimal pain which exceeded my expectations. My recovery took about eight weeks. At each and every follow-up appointment he took time with me and provided a necessary minor revision at no cost to me. His staff is amazing and took excellent care of me. I would recommend Dr. Michelow to anyone considering a procedure. I felt his price point for the procedure was fair and reasonable and after having the procedure definitely worth the investment in myself. The best part is I can now run with my shirt off and wear my sport trunk swim suit and feel good about my body and love my tummy tuck!!!

I was born with a cleft lip. Since birth, I've had two plastic surgeries for lip reconstruction and one lip injection procedure. The lip injections were done by another plastic surgeon. As I wasn't pleased with the outcome of my first injection, I was apprehensive about having the procedure done again. I actually Google searched "nearby plastic surgeons" and came across Dr. Michelow's webpage. I was impressed with the reviews, photos, and professionalism of the site itself, so I phoned Dr. Michelow's office to make a consultation appointment. I was so impressed with everyone I encountered. Reception was welcoming and helpful, the assistant was pleasant and friendly, and Dr. Michelow was FANTASTIC. He put all my apprehensions to rest. I have had two injection procedures with Dr. Michelow, and cannot wait to return. My excitement about Dr. Michelow and his staff falls short to how unbelievably happy I am with the results. I have never been able to completely close my lips in a resting state, and now I can. Not to mention they look AMAZING! Thank you so much to all of you. You've truly changed my life.

Needed a fresher, look...furrowed brows & under eye bags be gone!!! I had both Dysport and Restalyne Lyft. Both have been fantastic experiences. The Dysport was used in new areas thaan I had ever had before and I feel zapped my furrowed brows much better than ever. I had never done fillers before so I was a little nervous but couldn't be more happy. I didn't have any bruising, but definitely sore for the day after...but results were immediate & amazing.

I am 36 years old, mother of 4. After all my pregnancies, my stomach was just not the same, after carrying twins, it was never going to be the same. I have wanted a tummy tuck for 5+ years. For me this was not a weight loss procedure. I am 5'5 and hover around 150lb, size 6/8. This was procedure was so I could feel comfortable with my reflection again. I had stretch marks, a frown of a belly button, and and extra pouch of a belly I was always trying to hide or tuck in the right pair of pants. I finally took the plunge and scheduled my surgery. 2 week post now and I am feeling great. The first week was rough, but at thins point I almost feel like I could go to the gym. Images may be added later, as I am still healing 2 weeks post op. Updated on 26 Apr 2016: I am 4 weeks post surgery and feel great. Overall 90% normal. Lower swelling still exists, but I feel like I can exercise and do just about everything I could before. If you are considering a tummy tuck, I recommend several weeks of exercise first to help strengthen your core, it'll only help in your recovery.

I wanted to get back in my jeans and have confidence again after twin pregnancy. I went to Dr. Michelow and had the surgery. Surgery was combined with Hysterectomy took about 4 hours. It went smoothly. Woke with 2 drains, large incision and some expected soreness which improved quite a bit after 10 days. It is now 2 months later and I am back to daily routine (was back to work in 5 weeks) healing very nicely with little remaining swelling, no pain- only occasional soreness if I "over-do it." Feel Great. Confidence is up. Look Great. Best thing I have ever done for myself. Cons: Expected down-time, first 10 days is painful and slept sitting for best comfort. Had prescription that eased pain and helped me sleep. Pros: Highly Skilled Surgeon, Wonderful Bedside Manner, Fantastic Realistic Outcome.
