Charles Fatseas, MD

I can't hardly express how grateful I am. Seriously, Dr. Fatseas is the most compassionate doctor, of any discipline, I have ever had. I was initially interested in another procedure for facial acne scarring, but after he listened to my concerns, he recommended ablative resurfacing. After having had many previous laser, and other treatments (e.g. micro dermal abrasion, non ablative resurfacing laser, etc) from other medical practices , I was skeptical about spending money on the procedure, so I said I'd think about it. He allowed me to come back for a second consult, afterwards, I was convinced to book ablative resurfacing. Ablative resurfacing is serious enough to be considered a surgery. Traditionally (such as in my case), ablative resurfacing requires some weeks (patience is key) of downtime (whereas fractionally ablative procedures require just a few days), redness for several weeks later, and zinc oxide (physical) sunblock. There are, of course, risks associated with fully ablative resurfacing, but in my case, I would do it again without hesitation! Serious scars require serious resurfacing! Downtime for me was not an issue, because I had such severe acne scarring. What most doctors don't seem to understand, is that the debilitating psychological and emotional scars that result from severe facial acne scarring, are just as deep, or perhaps, FAR deeper, than the facial scarring itself. Thus making it a MEDICAL IMPERATIVE for people like me. This makes whatever downtime, inconvenience, or discomfort that may result from the procedure irrelevant to those of us that know what these type of scars do to a person. It took some aggressive treatments to get me closer to where I should be, but Dr. Fatseas displayed generosity, patience, kindness, and willingness to help bring the contour back to my face! Unlike most other doctors, Dr. Fatseas understood what I needed, and what ablative resurfacing would mean for me! Thank You for everything Dr. Fatseas!

Great experience all around. Dr. Fatseas and his staff were very attentive to my needs. He had an excellent bedside manner and I can't say enough about the results I received from the procedure. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family!

After having my son I was left with some extra skin and tons of stretch marks on my stomach. Today I visited the Rejuvenation Health and Wellness Center in Franklin, TN for my first laser treatment. I have two more to go and will hopefully see results soon. I will keep you all updated :) Feel free to ask me any questions as I go through this process!

I'm a 37 year old mother of twins and have never really struggled with my weight but as I get closer to 40, more of my weight goes to my tummy. When I went in for my consultation with Dr. Fatseas he was very helpful and informative. The procedure itself was pretty much a blur even though they used local anesthesia. I had my upper and lower abdomen, hips, flanks, and arms done. Yesterday I went for my first lymphatic massage and it wasn't the most pleasant but it didn't hurt. My biggest problem has been nausea and i have pills for that too. Just not eating much. Still sore but I can tell that the pain is starting to subside. I'm excited to see what I'll look like in 2 weeks. Updated on 15 Jun 2013: Before and after pics!!! Updated on 28 Jun 2013: I should have mentioned in my very first review that I had slimlipo on my outer thighs, upper and lower abs, flanks, and upper arms. So far my progress consists of less bruising and swelling. I still feel very "tight" in my upper and lower abs and am starting to be able to feel my skin again, although I'm still pretty sensitive. I've received 9 post op lymphatic massages which were included in the price of the procedure as well as 2 medical grade compression garments. I wore the compression garments 24/7 for the first three weeks and now am wearing them 12 hours a day. If I'm not wearing the compression garment and I exercise I do notice a small amount of swelling. The only concern I have at this point is the area under my bra line. This area was blended with the rest of my stomach but seems swollen or fat. I'm not too concerned as I know the most change with slimlipo comes about two months post op. I am posting more pics so that everyone can see if I'm progressing at all. Updated on 3 Mar 2017: When I started this review in 2013 it was way too early to review my results. This doctor was not a board certified plastic surgeon and my lipo while not horrible, did leave me with a lot of uneven places on my stomach and overall I was not happy with the results. I ended up doing a revision of that lipo plus a bbl.
