You've Found Your Surgeon...Dr. Erella is the Best!

My experience with Dr. Erella and Aspira Plastic Surgery was amazing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Just stop looking....you found your surgeon. But for those that want more details on why I feel this way:

I had been considering several different approaches to deal with stubborn fat around my flanks and abdomen mainly that wouldn't shrink, no matter how I ate or exercised. I knew I didn't want anything as invasive as a Tummy Tuck, but was considering both Cool Sculpting and Smart Lipo. After doing a ton of research and narrowing my list to 3 doctors in the area and settling on SmartLipo, I went to visit each. Dr. Erella was the ONLY one to actually meet with me on my initial consultation. And it wasn't some casual, 5 minute meet and greet. He spent easily 30-45 minutes discussing my objectives, assessing my body shape and problems areas and then, in detail, with drawings, explaining the procedure he would do. He put me at ease but also didn't sugar coat where the challenges would be and where the procedure stood the greatest chance of success. His pricing and policies were very fair and reasonable and I actually took the plunge and added a few more areas on my own accord, not through any suggestions or pressure from Dr. Erella. I ended up with Flanks/Sacral/Upper & Lower Abdomen/Arms and Chin.

With my safety and results as the utmost importance in his mind, we split my areas in 2 separate days spaced a few weeks apart. Both days, he took his time, had great bedside manner, as did his staff. His technique and approach to fat removal was VERY meticulous and thorough. He really wanted to remove as much fat as safely as possible. Both he and his staff followed up multiple times during my recovery process and were always available for questions after I left.

Finally, the results: I couldn't be more pleased with my new shape and how much different I look in all my clothes. The difference has been remarkable in all the treated areas. I've been getting compliments ever since and my confidence in my body hasn't been this high in a long time!! Thank you Dr. Erella!!!!

I should have mentioned, for the sake of helping others: I am a mom in her mid 30's and I am happy to answer any questions offline, just send me a message on here! I will also mention that due to the fibrous nature of my fat, and the fact he removed close to 6 liters total, my recovery has been painful, but still worth it!

You look great! What was the pain like during the process? How soon after did you resume normal activity?

Thank you! The pain was certainly above average, but he took out a lot of fat and was pretty aggressive. Still worth it! I'd give it a 6/7 out of 10. I resumed normal activity after about 5 or 6 days, couldn't work out for about 3 weeks. Hope that helps!
