Felling good bout my results. Was hoping for a tiny waist, but I’m still very swollen so we’ll see after a few more weeks.. or months. Sick and tired of standing, kneeling and laying on my stomach! This has been actually the hardest part of the whole process! I jut can’t get comfortable! And wearing the faja with the foams and pads 23/7 is hell! I take it off to shower. But overall, I’m glad I trusted Dowbak despite all the negativity I had read. Everything went smoothly and I am upset that I hadn’t had the courage to do this years ago! I feel like a new person!

Hello, glad everything went well doll! You look good. How did things go at New Life? Wash she overbooked? Did you wait a long time? What time where you out of surgery? I’m about to schedule with Dowbak and I’m getting anxious as well. Thanks for your update.

She's at glamorous now not at new life. It's a small little raggedy office, but the staff was nice. I waited about an hour or my pre op. Dowbak was friendly but very brief (only met with me for about a total of 15 mins). That left me a lil worried. I was texted my surgery time the evening prior. My sx was scheduled or 6:30. When I arrived I found out I was #3 that morning. I asked the nurse how many surgeries were scheduled for that day and she said 5.The two before me were already in the back. I was taken to a lil room in the back quickly and asked to change into a gown and wait for the dr. There was a recliner and a warm blanket in the room. Dowbak came in about 45mins later, marked me and took pics. She reassured me all would be great and left. 15 mins later the anesthesiologists came in and escorted me to the OR which was very tiny. I laid on my back, Dowbak held my hand and within 1 min I was out! Next thing I remember is climbing in the back of the SUV that was transporting me back to the RH. I don't remember recovering at the clinic, although the staff a the RH tell me they were called from Glamorous and told to pick me up in an hour because I was in the recovery room. That whole process was weird because I have no, absolutely no memory of being in a recovery room. I was back at the recovery house by 11:30. I was extremely dizzy, weak and shaking, not to mention moaning from the throbbing pain from my hips! I was given 2 Percocets which helped me eventually fall asleep. I was on my feet and eating soup 4 hours later. I haven't felt any pain since then. He worst part is the discomfort from wearing the faja and difficulty sleeping. I'm concerned about areas in my stomach thrliok like thy weren't lipo'ed. I hope it's just swelling. But overall, the experience was ok.

Sounds like you're healing well. Can't wait to see your results. The waist is always my concern too. I don't know how small they can make some.

I think I’m regretting choosing Dowbak.

I’m soooo scared!!! Has anyone read the review posted by United70? I wish I hadn’t because now I’m terrified!!! Rumor is that Dowbak overschedules herself (10-12) surgeries a day then has other dr’s or students perform the procedures under the impression that she did it! Please read United70’s review! I don’t know what to do... my surgery is in 11 days and no one answers my calls, texts or emails to confirm that they received my labs. I wish I could get my money back and start all over with another dr.???? I’m soo discouraged and beginning to feel like getting this surgery was a bad idea.

I had surgery with Dr Dowbak and her work is impeccable! She personally comes to your room after you wake up from recovery and brings you flowers! She has awesome bedside manner and is absolutely nothing but professional and a perfectionist. I don’t know about that person’s experience... but that was not my experience at all!

Did u go thru with the surgery with Dr. Dowback?
June 24, 2019
Yes! I am over a year post op and my results are still amazing.
June 24, 2019
I did! I’m 5 days post op and currently on the airplane back home! I would agree with some of the negative comments about Dowbak’s staff and the way they make you feel like you’re on a conveyer belt. However, I would still recommend Dowbak to anyone. I can’t really see my results yet because of he swelling, but I’m just gonna trust the process!

Thanks for responding and I wish u happy healing. Want to schedule my bbl with dr dowbak but I'm not so sure about him being the one to actually perform my surgery since people are saying that he let's students do some of them. Pls help. I'm counting on your opinion to help me decide. I'm 5'6 174 lbs hoping to lose about 10 pounds before surgery. Most of my fat is in my tummy so I need a doctor who will do aggressive lipo to get my stomach snatched. Your feedback is important. And pls post some pictures so we can admire your new body. Thanks

You may not know most of the Dr are heavily overscheduled....I know most peoe don't say it in the3 reviews....but most of the surgeons do not own the clinics they work in. I've heard he does great work.....but always follow your first mind....if you go take all medical stuff with you....refax everything via a UPS store...attach a message requesting a call back

How do I see that review

26 days until my BBL & Lipo with Dowback and I till can’t believe this is happening! I’ve started my supplements but is anyone else finding it hard to drink the Floradix liquid? The taste is unbearable! Any suggestions on how to tolerate? Anyway... I haven’t done much shopping for the supplies I need because it’s overwhelming! I don’t want to buy a bunch of unnecessary things. I’m also going to schedule by bloodwork this week. Anyone here staying at Plush Recovery? I’m so nervous about that because I read a bad review about their house now I’m scared ????.

If you haven’t secured a deposit... I would change it to Beauti Rest RH... all of Dowback and Harry Dolls stay there. Around the clock CNA,s and nurses to assist you. Plus your deposit for them is good for a year. Always have a cup of orange juice for the after taste of the liquid iron. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.
May 28, 2019
Thank u.... the orange juice makes tolerable for sure. And unfortunately I already gave them a $250 Deposit. I was so confused and didn’t know who to go with! I just hope it’s not completely horrible!
