Buccal fat removal - I know that as I heal it will just get even better

I just wanted to share my five star experience at the office of Dr. Gabbay. I was researching providers who perform Buccal fat removal. Originally, I was going to have it with another provider I consulted with. However, due to the other provider's consultant, I passed as it was difficult to coordinate with her. I actually became quite frustrated. Often practices don't realize that it's the full experience from start to finish, including ALL the staff that makes for a positive surgical journey.

I pressed on and found Dr Gabbay through research and was impressed with his before and after photos of the procedure. I proceeded with setting up a consultation. Melissa, reached out per my consult request. She was above and beyond friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with getting the process started. When I went in person for my consultation, I was warmly welcome by the front staff as well as Melissa. When we went on back to meet with Dr Gabbay. We went over the procedure and he said I was in fact a candidate, which made me very confident as I had two other providers say that I was so I knew I would be in good hands. Upon finishing, I was able to immediately coordinate with Melissa putting a deposit down and scheduling a procedure date.

On a sidenote, I also have to thank Dr. Gabbay for his beyond caring and ethical values as a provider. I was unknowingly suffering from hypertension, which was figured out through taking my vitals many times and my BP was extremely high.
He referred me to a cardiologist promptly, and we both agreed it was in my best interest for me to get that treated before I underwent anymore procedures.
The entire staff, Melissa Kelly, Brooke and Gabby were all beyond helpful and accommodating, when having to move the schedule around a few times as we wanted full confirmed medical clearance before I underwent the procedure.
Finally, Once I was cleared, I went in for the buccal fat removal. I appreciate that Dr Gabbay took extra time before we went back to the OR and we went over expectations and was able to show him photos of examples of his patients that I really liked their results as well as comparing that to celebrities (not sure who did their surgery) that I thought had it done nicely and ones that I thought not so great. He is extremely knowledgeable with this procedure so he knew exactly the plan based on my anatomy and our final chat before getting started. Both his tech and OR nurse were super friendly and made me very comfortable. I got situated, numbed and next thing you know, 20 minutes later all set and done. There was literally no pain, just some pricks from the needle to initially numb it. But otherwise felt like going to the dentist for some thing routine. Even though I was swollen, which is of course to be expected I could already see the results peeking through, and I'm already extremely happy. I know that as I heal it will just get even better. A huge thank you to Dr Gabbay and his entire team for providing me with an incredibly wonderful experience from start to finish. Bravo !
