Belcara Health

Absolutely amazing! I had lip injections using 1 full syringe of Juvederm XL Plus by the lovely Christy and am so pleased with my results. My lips are noticeably fuller, but also natural-looking. I was so nervous before getting them but Christy really calmed me down and made me feel confident. Her bedside manner was amazing. Additionally, Belcara as a whole was absolutely beautiful and every staff member was very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back for more and referring Belcara to all of my friends!

The team at Belcara Health is truly top notch!! The medical staff is exceptional....with extra appreciation and kudos given to Drs. Cohen & Robertson! The comprehensiveness of care you receive is amazing, from your very first visit through to post op communication & care...truly, I could not recommend Belcara Health more highly! You're in great hands with this team of physicians, nurses and patient coordinators! (Have had a successful uppper/lower blepharoplasty and face/neck lift, as well as botox injections in forehead; have consulted on and schedule abdominoplasty and breast lift)

I am about 40-50 lbs overweight and it all goes to my stomach and flanks. I got 6 small applicators total. 2 on my lower abdomen 2 on my upper abdomen and 1 on each flank. Normally I would have gotten one large applicator for my lower abdomen and 1 applicator for my upper abdomen but there was a back order issue with the larger applicators at the time of my appointment. Each applicator suction’s up the area of fat you want to remove and freezes it for about 30 minutes. They massage the application area afterwords and for me it tickled a lot. Only after the massage did I feel a burning sensation in the treated area. It didn’t last for more than 5 minutes. After the entire treatment I was able to drive myself home comfortably. The treated area is currently very numb and a little swollen. It should go away within the next 3 weeks.

I felt that I had jowls and my neck was sagging. I was very hesitant to have the procedure because this was my face. I went to see Dr. Robertson and told him that I wanted a natural look. He reassured me and answered all of my concerns. My results were unbelievable. I have been told by doctors that it was an awesome result. Most people could not tell I had had a facelift. I basically had no pain, just discomfort. I look younger, refreshed and happier. Dr. Robertson and the staff at Belcara Health were very caring and very professional. I would recommend them highly. Dr. Robertson is excellent!

I had been researching breast augmentation for years. I went to a few consultations, and just never felt the comfort and trust that I felt with Dr. Cohen and his amazing staff! I live inSouth Carolina and had a 3 week time span that i needed to have everything to be done including healing. They worked me into the schedule in no time! I could not be any happier with my breast augmentation. The look and feel after just 2 weeks is completely real and beautiful! I can not wait until my breasts are completely healed! The caring nature of everyone at Belcara Health made my experience 10 times better. Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations! Thank you Dr. Cohen and staff!

I wanted to do an early review. Dr. Robertson and the Belcara Health staff have been so kind and attentive. I have been pretty nervous about having surgery on my face and they have given me topnotch support. From the consultation, pre operative visits to the personal phone calls from Dr. Robertson checking up on me. This facility is beautiful! Updated on 4 Mar 2016: I'm so happy I did this for myself. Dr. Robertson did an amazing job and I am very pleased with my results. Thank you Dr. Robertson for getting me back on track. I feel so much better about my appearance. Can't say enough about the doctor and staff. Very pleased.

Numerous friends of mine have had the renowned Dr. Michael Cohen, Belcara Health in Baltimore Md, do their augmentation or breast lift combo, and I felt truly comfortable after my consultation. Current stats: 32DDD, droopy breasts in need of a lift, minor pectus excavatum. My BWD is 12 for both breasts, and I believe I will be going with 350 or 400 moderate plus, smooth, round silicone. I am 5'8, broad shoulders, and weigh 132 lbs. My weight has never really fluctuated. I am nervous, but very excited to have the following done: Breast lift Breast augmentation for upper pole fullness Slight closure of chest cavity due to PE. The 11th is coming! I'm nervous, very extremely excited! Updated on 12 Jul 2017: So yesterday I had my surgery and I was actually in OR longer than norm- 8-11:15. Hey I was fine with that-they took SUCH great care of me!! I was so impressed with the entire team- my nurse, Heather, my anesthesiologist rocked, and Dr. Cohen. They know their stuff!! As soon as I woke up, I felt a lot of pain, but that subsided some. I came home and slept! Ice packs on for 20 mins every hour I was awake. Thank god for my husband and Mom who were here with me. The best thing so far was the sleeping device my husband got me- a wedge to sleep on! This is an absolute MUST!! I threw up the little bit of soup I ate last night. Right now I'm sitting on the sofa????, about to take a nap, but I do feel my pain has resided. Now it's pressure and just a bit of nausea. Ohhh I forgot to say yesterday I had horrible pain in my eye (weird) all day. I couldn't open it and it was watering like crazy. I may have gotten some of the nausea medicine in it as it burned and felt all scratched up. Now it's mostly back to normal. I will update you tomm. Stats: 5'8 tall Athletic build, broad shoulders 132 lbs. previous bra size: 32 DD or 32 DDD Procedure: anchor lift with augmentation Implants: 360cc, mentor moderate plus Updated on 13 Jul 2017: So today I feel a whole lot better than yesterday. My arms are still very immobile, but I can move them slightly it just hurts. My last pain med was this morning at 8 am and it's now evening (6pm). I was "able to walk to the mailbox, get up to the bathroom myself, and open doors, etc! Yay! Major progress in just one day. Hoping tomm will only be better. I do have swelling under my armpit area. I haven't taken my recovery bra off, except for this pic- I do find my recovery bra digging in my skin under breasts. However, I will not go against my docs directions. The team worked hard to perfect them ?? Updated on 14 Jul 2017: So I am able to basically do all little things myself- get out of bed and off the couch, brush my hair gently without raising my arms, get my own water and small snacks, go to the bathroom, brush my teeth completely oh my own, etc. I pray my healing process continues like this without complications. I did swap bras and am wearing a dan skin zipper sports bra as my post op bra literally sat on my stitches under my boob. Haven't taken any meds today and I am going to try and keep it that way! Still can't go to the bathroom- meds have backed me up- hope to go soon!! Updated on 15 Jul 2017: Did wake up with slight morning boob, but I'm doing well! Last night my husband took me to dinner around the corner just to get out of the house. I didn't do my makeup or hair, just let everything be natural - just wanted to get out and eat. Stopped by old navy and got two tanks. My arms are a lot less sore. Right now (9 am) I feel pressure on the sides of my boobs, but I'm sure that's because it's morning time. Still taking it easy and I'm okay with that-don't want to welcome any complications. I got a wonderful bra from Kohls- I'll post it here. Oh my gosh the band DOES NOT dig under my boob and is so comfy and supporting. My sleeping wedge has been a gift from God! Do not go into this surgery without purchasing one! In regards to pain- don't have any just my upper and lower back are killing me as I've always had back problems. I've been using heating pads, icy hot strips, and folded towels for support. I cannot even imagine the pain I'd be in without the sleeper wedge. Updated on 16 Jul 2017: Today is Day 5 post surgery and I feel good! Other than my back and shoulders hurting, my husband drove me to go see someone in the hospital, and then we are at Carrabbas. We came home and took a nap. Today was shower #3 - felt great! I do know that I am feeling pressure, more so in my left breast--- like something is pushing against the walls of my boob from the inside. Updated on 17 Jul 2017: My followup went fantastic! No deep bruises, and same size L & R. My next follow up, next week, I will be getting stitches removed, and learning how to massage! All is good here... fingers crossed it stays that way! Updated on 19 Jul 2017: Well, I pulled out my implant card for the first time today, and was in for a surprise. I was unaware I was given another type of implant. I thought the facility only used Mentor implants, but apparently I have Natrelle Inspira SRM-360. At first I was like...what the heck. But after looking at some feed on Inspira vs. Mentor, and diameters of each, I am actually happy my surgeon went with Natrelle. You really do have to give all your trust to your surgeon as they know what they are doing to address, and make you into your ideal pics. I found out that inspire doesn't have a moderate plus, just moderate, but have the exact same projections of 4cm, but inspire has a wider diameter than mentor. Updated on 20 Jul 2017: So today marks Day 9 and like the other days, I feel great! I am still sleeping on the wedge just because. I did convert to sleeping on my back back today for an hour and got up with more morning boob than I'm used too. I heard that goes away in about a month. But I'm really loving my results! I have been on RealSelf non-stop and found myself worrying over, what-ifs. So I told myself today- no more... just let all the worry go, as it does no good. Updated on 21 Jul 2017: Hey girls so I'm writing two posts today. One is a little redness nerves. I have a bit of redness right by my steri strips. However I look back and also had the same amount of redness on Monday my one week post and my nurse didn't say anything. What do you guys think? Updated on 21 Jul 2017: So I went to Nordstrom thanks to my friend on here (shoutout to bodyafterbaby15 ????) and got these two gorgeous bras!!! I love the peach one so much and it was only $35!!! Now the sexy one I did pay full price, $56, but I have NEVER been able to wear this kind of bra- ever! Now I know I can't wear these until I'm completely healed because they are underwire- but I just loved them and couldn't pass them up! Updated on 21 Jul 2017: Updated on 25 Jul 2017: So the nurses were shocked at my healing process- they said my scars look better than most ESP at only two weeks Post ???????? yay. No I have to pray for them to continue on this road ???????????? the only thing I'm afraid of is them dropping too much- I'm almost paranoid about it. I wish there was a way to get upper pole fullness without having to go up in size. I was already previously a DDD. I honestly think girls who are flat chested or have an initial size of A or B are BLESSED- because you're implant won't drop with extra tissue bringing it down!! I am totally back to routine - teaching, walking, laundry, grocery shopping- being sure to do a few bags at a time, the whole 9- except for the gym. Cannot wait for that. TBH this procedure was not bad at all! I was out Day 2, and pretty much moving and going to stores Day 3. Had minimal pain, except for back problems- which I knew I'd have because I have scoliosis and sleeping on my back with no movement adds to the pain. Updated on 29 Jul 2017: I am trying to keep them in position so they don't drop much further. Updated on 4 Aug 2017: I am healing quite nicely! I have had no problems, thankfully! I do find my left boob ( dominant side) to be about a cup size larger as it has more side boob than my right. I am just hoping since it's my dominant side it still has some swelling. But other than that, my surgeon is a master at sutures! He did a phenomenal job. Updated on 16 Aug 2017: Super, super happy with these girls. They are healing so nicely! My left is about a half a cup larger than my right, but they look the same naked. My nipples are aligned, areolas same size, and projection- perfect! Just had my 5 week check up- and things are great! The doctor is still super impressed with my scarring! Updated on 16 Sep 2017: So I am happy with the results! I just wish I had more upper pole fullness.
