How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

It has been a dream of mine for many years to have...

It has been a dream of mine for many years to have the apron of shame removed. I have been around 200-220 for most of my adult life and while I do embrace my curves at this point, the apron and saggy boobs have to go! I once lost 65 pounds on WW and was at an all time low weight of 165lbs. The constant obsessing over every bite and working out multiple times a day wore on me over the next two years at which time I slowly regained the 65 plus another 20. At an all time high weight of 240, I finally made some changed that I have mostly been able to sustain. My procedures will include a full TT w/ flank and back lipo plus BL. It is my hope to maintain as much volume as possible with the lift and lose as much belly and flank fat as possible with the TT.

I had a good consult with the first Dr. I saw. He was warm and understanding and gave me a good idea of what someone of my body type and weight could expect as an end result. The quote was $21k for a drainless TT and other procedures already listed. On the eve of committing to a date, I mentioned my plans to a good long time friend who suggested I see Dr. Mariotti who did her TT.

Dr. Mariotti and his staff are amazing! From the first contact, to the thorough consult, to the financials and scheduling, every interaction with his office was a dream! I have received my pre-op materials and have made my initial deposit for my March 12, 2014 Mommy Makeover with Dr. Eric Mariotti.

It has been a tremendous help to read so many reviews of women who have similar stories and even bodies like mine. The resilience, strength, courage, self love and motivation has been amazing. Thank each of you for posting your journeys. I will add photos soon, once I get the courage to do so. LOL

Before pics...

Okay, here we go...

Is the DR really less than half the price of US?

Okay, so I am not flush with cash and have noticed how nicely the DR prices fit into my real life budget. From the reviews I have seen, most people are fairly happy with their results, and I have to say so am I from the photos posted. Can anyone tell me good reasons NOT to consider the DR? Dr. Almonte specifically. I like her results on larger women such as myself. Heeeelp!

Inbox is fine also.

Apparently in addition to being a phenomenal PS and human, Dr. Mariotti is also a magician of Houdini proportions! I am in awe at my results which far exceeded my very high expectation! Fantastic experience all the way through an his PA Sarah is amazing!
