Feeling like a brand new person - he truly transformed my life

These are the pictures after lipedema liposuction with J-Plasma (on 2/5/2024). Only 2.5 weeks (2/23) after the procedure, still quite swollen, but amazing difference already. Please knee pain is gone.

Embarking on the journey to reclaim my body after two decades of childbirth and caregiving was no small feat. I scoured through fifteen different doctors, searching for the perfect fit, before finding Dr. Cohen and his remarkable team. Thanks, Instagram!
My struggles with the size of my breasts were not just cosmetic; they caused excruciating back pain, trapping me in a vicious cycle of discomfort and limited mobility. And to add to the challenge, my chronic lipedema reached new heights, inflicting unbearable pain in my legs and wreaking havoc on my self-esteem.
Enter Dr. Cohen. From the moment I had the first consultation through Facetime (East Coast to LA), I knew I was in capable hands. His informative videos had intrigued me, but it was his genuine warmth and professionalism during our initial consultation that sealed the deal. Dr. Cohen's passion for breast reduction surgery was infectious – he spoke of it as a transformative experience, not just physically but emotionally.
But Dr. Cohen is more than just a skilled surgeon; he's a true advocate for his patients. When I expressed my concerns about lipedema, a condition often overlooked, he didn't just nod sympathetically – he dove into research and consultations, determined to understand and address my needs. Who does that????

Navigating through the quote process and scheduling was a breeze, thanks to Dr. Cohen's amazing STAR team. Jamie and Alana are superstars (and .... look like movie stars! Welcome to LA, right?). They treated me like a VIP and responded to every single one of my 10,000 text messages with grace and speed nobody expects anymore.

And of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention the other Dr. Cohen – the anesthesiologist. Despite his fabulous dad jokes (seriously, he should publish a book), he was incredible at his job. Thanks to him, I felt nothing during surgery and recovered from anesthesia easily and quickly – the most stressful part of any procedure.

Despite traveling from the East Coast 2 days before, my first procedure – a breast reduction – went off without a hitch. I went from "E for excessive" to a small "C for can't-believe-it". The results were immediate, and the recovery was surprisingly smooth. Even when I jetted off overseas just weeks later, Dr. Cohen and his team remained a constant source of support, providing real-time guidance and reassurance from 8,000 miles away.

Fast forward six months, and I found myself back in LA for lipedema surgery. The night before, LA was hit by a storm, leaving Dr. Cohen and his team without power. Yet, their dedication never wavered – they were in constant communication, ensuring everything went smoothly on the big day.

And here I am, just two weeks post-surgery, feeling like a brand-new person. Dr. Cohen's expertise, coupled with the unwavering support of his team, has truly transformed my life. I can't recommend Dr. Cohen and his team highly enough – they're not just skilled professionals; they're compassionate advocates who prioritize their patients' well-being above all else. If you're looking for a surgeon who will treat you with the care and respect you deserve, look no further than Dr. Cohen and his incredible team. They're nothing short of amazing. Will post more pictures of before and after legs once I no longer look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur :-)
