I'm a 31 year old female that had a child at the age of 19 and unfortunately my mid section never was the same. After spending my entire 20's struggling with my weight and now being in my 30's and having an upcoming wedding in a little less than a year I started pursuing what other avenues I could take to lose the stubborn fat in my mid section. Dr. Bryant was the first I reached out to and had a consult with. My first impression was great from the reviews I could find online, his website, and his office staff and their responsiveness on wanting to set up my consult. (I also contacted four other places keep in mind, two of which still haven't gotten back to me in two weeks, one that sent me a blanket email with what an average price per area was, and lastly and most horrifying was Sono Bello in Wanye/KOP, *stay away unless you like used car sales people trying to sell you surgeries). The office is clean and inviting. His staff is welcoming and offered a beverage as I waited. Very normal office atmosphere. Once I met with Dr. Bryant we discussed my realistic expectations and what his expertise is along with a viewing of previous client photos. After he received a good idea of my needs he had a female staff member accompany us in his office so I felt more comfortable while I could directly show him my problem areas. This was surprisingly in no way embarrassing (which I completely thought I would have been mortified to show someone I never met) but he was extremely professional and so insightful. After we discussed what realistically a procedure with Vaser & SmartLipo could do for me we of course got into prices. I feel like with pricing of course when you have zero insight like myself on anything of this nature in cosmetic surgery it's not surprising to have some sticker shock. After further discussing what it actually involves and what's included in my price it seemed more reasonable especially with it being numerous areas. He also urged me to have other consults and never once made me feel pressured to buy his services. You can tell he truly believes in his work and his reviews / photos back that up. I am still trying to find one more place to have a consult but the way things are looking I'm most likely going to be scheduling my procedure with Physician Transformations.
I am so pleased with the work of Dr. Bryant. He performed my SmartLipo procedure and the results and healing process have been amazing. After my preganancy I was left with extra fat and a pudge in my mid section and wanted it gone. My results were visible in the first week. Dr. Bryant was very patient and very attentive to the problems areas that I wanted addressed and the esthetic goals o wanted to achieve. He was realistic and honest, did not pressure me and let me know of other available options. SmartLipo was the choice for me and he explained the procedure and what to expect in great detail. I felt very comfortable with him. The staff were also phenomenal. I love his assistant. She instantly made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me very well. She was with me every step of the way and was extremely knowledgeable about the procedure and post op care. She cleaned and changed my dressing post op day 1. You are awake for the procedure but he prescribes you Ativan to calm your nerves and once he injects the lidocaine to numb the areas it's smooth sailing from there. It really didn't hurt at all you feel the first couple incision he makes to inject the Catheter for the lidocaine but the areas numb pretty quickly. The first day is by far the hardest and most uncomfortable but if needed he will prescribe pain medication I managed with extra strength Tylenol. I am so pleased with my results and would definitely recommend de Bryant and his staff.
First let me begin by saying that I am not one to take the easy way out. After having 3 kids in a 4 1/2 year time frame, my stomach was left with extra fat, or as I call it, the "Mommy pouch", that I could not get rid of despite regular exercise and eating healthy. I was initially looking at Cool Sculpting, but happened to stumble on Smart Lipo. After researching it more closely, I decided thatSmart Lipo seemed to be more what I was looking for. I began researching Drs in my area and their reviews. I chose Physician Trandformations based on the good reviews and location. I met Dr. Bryant for a free initial consultation and was very impressed with both him and his staff (Dalia and Tina are equally as amazing)! He explained everything in detail, from preparation, day of procedure to recovery and result expectations. He even ended our consultation saying he recommends everyone get a 2nd opinion, so that you are confident in your decision. I felt so confident in him that I booked my procedure the next day. I decided on upper and lower abd, bra line and axillary (armpit area). To secure my day, I made a 20% deposit. They also offer Care Credit with different financing options if needed. The morning of my procedure, I was surprisingly not nervous at all. You are taken in the back and prepped, at which time you take Ativan to relax you. From start to finish everything took a little over 2 hours. It was virtually pain free, we talked and joked during it, I even think I fell asleep at one point. After, they wrap you up in foam pads and gauze (promotes drainage and keeps leaking maintained), then put you in tight shapewear. The first night was not as unbearable as I have read about. I had some disconfort, but nothing more than a vigorous workout. I returned the next morning for a checkup and dressing change and was amazed at the results already. I am now about 6 weeks post op and could not be more happy with my results. It is normal to go through various stages of swelling and bumpy areas. Although weight loss was not my goal, (I was just looking to tone the flabby area) I have lost about 7 lbs and a few inches which was a nice side benefit. Dr. Bryant and his staff are amazing and I highly recommend him. Please feel free to message me any questions you might have, I am more than happy to answer them. If you are thinking of having this procedure, I highly recommend you contact Dr. Earl Bryant at Physician Transformations... You will NOT be dissappointed!
