I loved my experience at Skin Artisans! The Nurse Injector (Andrea) was so sweet and professional and my results looked great! I was able to get all of my questions answered prior to my treatment. I wanted to look natural vs overdone, and she did an amazing job . I highly recommend them to anyone in the Mpls /West Metro Area!
I've been going here for a couple years. All's I usually get is 50 units of Botox on my forehead and my crow's feet. Literally every other time the results are great. This time no difference at all and out $666 I tried to get in and wasn't called back when I was told I would be called back to get in within the two weeks.. pics from day 1, and 3 weeks and 2 months out results exactly the same. Very frustrating ...my friends who get Botox with worse crow's feet then me get amazing results. Time to change places I guess :/
Despite loving this place for nearly 8 years, it has gone downhill fast. I had an absolutely terrible experience with nurse injector Andrea. Her lack of professionalism was appalling and I recommend avoiding her. Long story short - I had gone in two months earlier and saw Andrea for fillers. She recommended chin filler, which I agreed to and wish I hadn't. I looked like asymmetrical Jay Leno when I smiled, so two months later I scheduled an appointment to have the filler dissolved. When I went in, Andrea was defensive and insisted the problem was in my head (despite my friends and family all noticing my new oddly shaped chin). She was extremely rude and scolded me like a child, even making me sit down in a chair so she could stand over me to scold me. It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. Considering I've spent many thousands of dollars here over the years, you'd think they would treat customers with a little more dignity. Management apologized for Andrea's behavior and comped me for one syringe of hyaluronidase, though I had to pay for a second syringe to fully get rid of the chin lump.
Ok so my 16 year old daughter has bigger breast then me, I've wanted breast my whole life and finally my time has come! 15 days and counting and i can't wait, I'm going with Dr. Michael Philbin w/ Edina plastic surgery... So at first I thought I just needed BA but apparently not the Doc says I need a lift, which happens to be a lot more expensive then I originally expected to spend,, Anyways the consultation was ok I felt like I waited kinda long but once I met with the Dr.Philbin things got better he answered all my questions I didn't feel rushed or anything he did some mesuerments took some pictures ect.... Then they brought the BOOBIES yayyy!! They brought them in all different shapes and sizes silicone& saline, boob heaven man the silicone ones feel so much like the real thing it was like love at first site, the saline was so hard like if I were to drop it it would bounce and u can hear it swishing around but on the up side they are way cheaper like $700 for a pair vs $1800 for the silicon cohesive gel so I decided to go wit the Natrelle silicon high profile cohesive gel 600 cc even tho that means I have to get a MIR 3 years after the surgery than ever 2 years to check for ruptures they also come with a lifetime warranty to replace the implants should they ever rupture, tear ect.. And if it happens with in the first 10 years Natrelle will replace the implants and provide up to $3500 to pay for the new procedure. Sounds like they are Pretty confident in their product. Sooo yayy me! Let the countdown began Updated on 26 Feb 2016: Ok so I paid $8,505 Tuesday February 23rd (same day as the constitution) leaving me a remaining bal of $195 the lady told me I had to have that $195 in no later then Thursday February 25th by 4:30 pm or my surgery would be canceled because payment is required in full 2 weeks prior to Surgery and that I would be assessed a change of 25% of the money I put down witch would be $2,126.25 so that next morning I called to make my payment of $195 no answer so I left a voicemail and continued to call every hour until 5:30pm and still no answer and no one ever called me back. So the next day I tried calling Again and again still no answer so I ended up having to leave work and physically show up to the office to make the payment I do plan on writing the clinic about my experience.

Anywayz this is my 3rd attempt writing this post I always end up doseing off everyone at Edina plastic surgery was Soo nice to me my Nurses name was Sharrie she was a very sweet women she told me not to worry my chances of being in a car accident were higher then something going wrong during surgery only thing is she said I can't have my tampon in and gave me one of them old grannie pads and she kept asking me the same questions over and over like she forgot the response I gave her 5 sec ago or maybe she just wanted to make sure that I was sure Either way she was nice, every thing went so smooth when the nurse walked out my Doc walked inn made his marking reassured me everything was going to be AG (all good) as soon as my Doc walked out the anesthesiologist Al walked in pretty cool dude very nice full of jokes he put my IV in when he walked out Nurse Sherrie walked and we walked over to the OR then they started the strong ish and my a$$ was knocked out so fast one min I'm talk an the next I'm trying to wake up to what feels like an elephant sitting on my chest I looked down and what do I see cleavage it was like love at first site I sat in the recover room for about an hour then made my way home tried a few times to make this post but kept falling to sleep An the pain is pretty intensed especially when the meds start, well that's about it if u have any question please feel free to ask and I want to thank u ladies for all ur support.

Oh did I say how much I love them?? Lol :-) Updated on 17 Mar 2016: I had this sharp burning pain right next to my incision it would only feel better when I put pressure on it then it went away so called to an made an appointment with Dr. Philbin even tho he was booked Genie got me in during my Lunch as soon as I got there he was ready to see me didn't even have a chance to sit down. He told me it's a nerve and that i should use a viberator to massage the area 2 to 3 times a day ! Then he removed my tape :-( I am a very visual person and seeing my scars made them hurt so much more taking the tape off made my nipples go crazy i have this painful tingly feeling that won't go away but massaging them with the viberator does make them feel lot better I can't wait to start working on lighting these scars I just ordered these breast lift silicon strips my skin has been pretty forgiving in the past hopefully we can get rid of it and please let me know what worked for ya'll.. Oh Almost forgot to tell ya'll my Doctor is leaving the U.S for two two weeks I pray nothing goes wrong while he's gone... Updated on 20 Mar 2016: Omg my skin fills so tight .. An sore an Itchie but I can't complain Because it's not sharp burning nerve pain any more Thank you Jesus!!! And If I do have one of those pans I know exactly how to make it go away fast put my arms str8 up over my head speaking of arms I've been stretching my arms and it feels good I really don't massage them much but I plan on trying to more offen they are so damn achy an sore from the skin being so tight, you can see where the stitches are kinda ripping my skin but they are really really soft tho Now I'm just waiting on the drop n fluff :-/ Updated on 24 Mar 2016: Two weeks really not much to tell I'm not in any pain still kinda feels weird tho and I'm still waiting on that "drop ~n~ Fluff" hope it happens before my trip in May Anywayz check out the pics I'll keep ya'll posted! Updated on 31 Mar 2016: I seen my doctor today he said I'm healing very well and that I can start the silicon strips, light exercise and to continue to massage them i asked if its ok for me to sleep on my tunmy and he said as long as I feel comfortable doing it and it doesn't hurt that fine and actually it will make them softer faster kind of like massaging them. I am still completely satisfied with my results especially the nipple incisions I'm happy with the size they definitely don't feel small i love them how they are now cant wait to see what the drop and fluff brings well worth the money starting to feel nice and Squishy still a little sore under my breast like the top of my ribs I like stretching my arms over my head it it feel good, as for nipple sensation I definitely have feeling but they don't seem to get as hard as they use to. Still haven't bought any bra's trying to hold off til May so I don't waste my money buying the wrong fit.. Welp that just about sums it up check out the pics :-) Updated on 31 Mar 2016: Updated on 31 Mar 2016: Updated on 1 Apr 2016: Today is day 1 of scaraway slilcone strips when looking for the breast lift silicon strips online everything is so expensive like $60 for one, but forchanally Target had scar away patches on sale for $15.99 all u have to do is cut them to fix !! Updated on 4 Aug 2017: No regrets!!! I love em sorry I left y'all hangin with no update,, Imma be honest I started having complications with the scar strips,, when you leave them on too long without air I guess it creates moisture even though I was taking them off daily to shower I ended up getting a hole in my incision this scared the [RS bleep] outta me it's like one day it wasn't there in the next day was there even tho I look at myself everyday unfortunately my old phone broke and I don't have any pictures from that little miss hap any way after that I got depressed because one of my boobs was bigger then the other kinda felt botched didn't want to post pics,,So when the doctor says it takes about a year to get your true results I couldn't agree more because now they're perfectly even but it took a min think because I am left handed meaning that the muscle on my left side is stronger and it took more time for the implant to drop so that's my story now on to my BBL new review coming soon! Thanks for following me on my journey! Updated on 4 Aug 2017:
