LOVE LOVE my Results AND Dr G!! Best Experience, Hands Down

I am at seven weeks postop and all of the pain and discomfort is gone! There is still some swelling around my incision and may be a little bit in my abs, but I am absolutely thrilled with my progress! I love my new body so much

5 star experience, from beginning to end. I came to Dr. Garlick after having two botched BBLs from a different doctor along with terrible skin and tissue healing issues after a tummy tuck. My butt is naturally pretty square, and by the time the other doctor got done with me I was left with a wide, lumpy butt that I hated. I had been doing research and consulting with other doctors who all told me that they would do another BBL for me and I would be happy. I couldn’t see how adding more fat to my butt would give me the high, tight butt that I was wanting. When I consulted with Dr. Garlick he took one look at me and said, “you have excess skin and need a butt and hip lift, not another BBL.” it was a lightbulb moment. I had already had a tummy tuck and now I was needing the backside lifted. I added on Lipo 360, neck Lipo, inner thigh Lipo, and fat transfer to the hips and butt if I needed it. My BMI was also 30 and he encouraged me to be at my goal weight before doing surgery. I brought my BMI down to 29 before surgery day.

I was so scared to have surgery again and was so afraid of healing complications and just being dissatisfied with the results, but this time around I felt mostly excitement. I asked if he would take some pictures while I was on the table, and he agreed. I came out of surgery fine, had excellent pain management, and he even sent me home with half a dozen roses! He called the next day to check on me, and answer any questions I had. The most painful part was the Lipo, but overall I felt very minimal pain. I had zero healing issues, my incision looked perfect, I had very minimal bruising and swelling, and I’m just blown away with what better experience I had this time. The best part? I LOVE my results!! I have the lifted butt I was wanting from the get-go, smaller waist, zero neck fat, and I am even seeing some of the ab etching he did peek through.
Dr. Garlick is a top-notch doctor and he is my go to from this point on. I can’t wait to see my final results when I am done healing! (I’m four weeks post-op
