Avana Plastic Surgery

Dr. Stephanie Luster is amazing! She takes the time to understand what you want and talks through any nerves you have. She is very attentive before and after surgery and makes sure you have a wonderful experience and even better results.10/10 Recommend

My experience was great. I am 5wks PO MMO (breast reduction/lift and ETT) with Dr.Luster. The coordinator the staff and anesthesiologist all were great . I get calls every week from the PO department to check in on me . I was able to get my Medical records sent to me within 20mins of the call . Like I have no complaints at all .

Let me start by saying my surgeon is very talented and did an excellent. I would recommend him over and over again. Dr. Algrid Manmeniskis.
The front office and billing are the worse. From last minute unexpected fees and charges never disclosed. I was even surprised on the day of surgery with a large bill. Communication was not good and they did not disclose alot. The post op staff was the complete opposite. Very helpful polite. Knowledgeable and handled everything with care.

My experience at Avana was good. My coordinator was on point from start to finish. When I got there pre op was smooth. They even helped me with my FMLA paperwork, no waiting, emailed my paperwork back to me same days. Day of surgery was good I was there at 9am, my surgery started at (took drug test, pictures, and make up)11ish.Dr. dress was kind and listened to me about my breast and how I would like them to be more like each other In size. After my surgery was done. I saw my body the next day! Loved my breast but my right side looked uneven (it was very swollen) but all in all he did a great job. A week later, I notice lord of drainage from my right side. I went to my PCP, she cultured the drainage. It was an infection. My tummy tuck incision was infected. The type of infection you get from a hospital is what I’m told.I emailed me, he was helpful and didn’t hesitate to have the post op office call me. They did immediately! I’ve been on three different antibiotics. My wound is healing but I was sent to wound care. I’ve been doing oxygen chamber treatments and seeing a wound care nurse. I’m in love with my new breast and my new belly button. That I can now SEE! But the infection, he could have kept. Great job aesthetically DR dress! But Avana needs to clean up just a bit more in the surgery room. Overall it was a good experience minus the infection.

Well things are waaay better now. Wound care is over and my body looks so much better! I feel amazing naked. Things have been good and I’m glad the hardest part of recovery is over. I would like to get some Lipo next year to smooth some places over but for the most part I feel great about it

I've had no problems from start to finish with Avana. Communication was good, surgery was great, & the price wasn't bad. I am loving my final results I am 30 days post op & I feel like my butt is here to stay thank you avana! & most importantly Dr.Dress!

Dr dress did my tummy tuck. Although he placed my tubes on my vagina I’m overall happy with my results. I recommend him to any one. My recovery is doing well. In order to maintain the best results u have to take care of your self and the investment. Take your meds eat protein and keep incision clean and dry

After breast feeding multiple children, I decided I wanted to do something for myself. I decided I wanted to fill my breasts out and be able to fill out tops again. I also wanted to be able to bend over without my breasts spilling out my bra. I got 295 CC silicone breast implants.
Let me be very clear; My doctor, Dr. Moradian is AMAZING! There were a select few individuals who were helpful and kind, but overall that place is a unorganized disaster! I could go on about that place, but I've already decided that the only way I'd have my Dr. work on me again is if he left that practice. That's the reason for the 4-stars. Without my doctor being great, I'd give that place negative 5 stars. The unnecessary waiting, confusion, disorganization, etc it was horrible!!! The young lady at pre-op was kind and helpful, the young lady who took my pictures was kind, and the shorter young lady who handled me at my post op and took my pictures was very kind. Oh, and the I can't forget about the young lady who led me back to surgery. She was very kind and helped calm my nerves. Anesthesiologist was cool. But they definitely need to get it together there. Great doctors, but ran by a very unorganized staff.

Doing daily breast massages definitely helps in the healing process. It doesn’t feel like I had surgery 16 days ago.

Dr. Dress was great. I did have to wait 5 hours before I got my surgery but it was worth every penny! My double chin gone, my stomach and back fat gone, and now I finally have a nice round booty with as much projection as he could give me!

So I finally feel comfortable enough to reflect on my experience. I m 5 days post op of lipo360 with arm lipo and a cell saver. My procedure was done by Dr. Dress. I was hesitant to go with him because I couldn't find any of his work or review. Before I go into my experience, I will tell you all to do your research. The experience itself was complete shock. I decided to go to Miami to have surgery because of their pricing and it just looks like they're doctors are a lot better with body contouring. I'm my hometown, the same procedure is about 12k more than what I paid. My results are amazing compared to my body prior to surgery. My experience at the clinic however, was sub par and I didn't feel as safe as I should have.

This was 5 days post op. I have been taped for 1 full day and hoping that it helps my skin retract. So far so good. I have also removed my drain and began using lymphatic drop to help with swelling. I will post again shortly to show how my body looks after the taping.

I think overall, it was a good experience. The surgery is the easy part, the recovery is the hardest. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs throughout my recovery but I am glad I did the surgery. I am considering more lipo but I don’t think I will go back to Avana.

I have a surgery scheduled for July 15. My coordinator is Zasha Cruz and so far my experience isn’t very good as communication has been the worst and I still don’t have an order for my pre surgery tests. Hopefully these reviews of Dr. Moradian are legit and he really is this awesome because the coordinator doesn’t make me feel too sure about my choice. Fingers crossed.

Dr. Moradian is very hardworking, educated and informative. He was honest when he told me what could be done and what he was going to do. I went to sleep built like slimer from the movie Ghostbusters and woke up with the curves of a pinup. I’m only two days post op, but I love my results so far. I will post before and after pics further into healing.
