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.

Got my before and after!!
Hello! Dropping by to share my photos here as promised. I just came back from DR (went for a wedding and felt great). Dr. FG sent them today and here they are. I am so happy with my results that I booked to do my tata's in November! Now that the rest looks good, my [RS bleep] do not match.
He said my case was in his top 5 tummy tucks and that just made me feel like I won an oscar! :-p

2 weeks postop :D
Second week postop and I am feeling much better. Guess you can see in the pictures I am much less swollen (still some though). My butt still looks really nice, but Dr. FG was really realistic about me not having a lot of fat, so I guess some of it will disolve, I can live with that.
Pain has gone down to a 2 or 1 out of 10, barely taking 1 pain killer (if any) once a day. My scars are looking great, will update on that time.
Other than that feeling great, little back pain because of my posture, feel very tired even though I have only stayed in the house and slept, but doctor said it's normal. Going out for dinner today for the first time since I got here, and I am celebrating it like a convict being released! >:p

1 week post-op: Tubes free! :D
I guess I could say I have good news and not so good news for this post.
Let's start with the not so good: my drain clogged and I didn't know until my massage today. This means it was probably clogged the whole weekend. My TT tube was removed on friday (BTW awkward sensation, but couldn't say pain), but my lipo one (coming out my lower back) was still sucking a lot of fluid out then, so Dr. FG though it would be much better to just leave it until Monday. I didn't have a massage this weekend and I'm not staying at a recovery house, so I guess no one had the knowledge to know that it was clogged. When the therapist saw me today, she noticed right away, and Dr. FG confirmed it and removed it. He said I must have stopped draining much since there was no liquid pouring around the tube, so it was meant to be removed today anyways. Still, I feel so swollen! After my massage I felt much better (took the pictures before though), but I still feel just that: swollen. Again, I know I've mentioned this before, but Dr. FG's therapist Ana is simply amazing. I am a true believer of these post-op massages, it's just too clear.
The good news (I guess) is that I am tube free and feel a lot more comfortable when I lay down or sit. Dr. FG told me not to worry about the swelling, and I have a good memory and saw my body before this episode so I know the outcome will be very good. It's just I don't want anything to slow this down :(
It's so funny, I cried today after knowing this had happened and Dr. FG just sat next to me, held my hand and said: Go ahead and cry, and hit me if that makes you feel better. I started laughing immediately, and actually felt much better. His sense of humour is just another extra of this amazing human being whom you clearly see REALLY CARES about each one of his patients.

Provider Review

From the first contact I had with Dr. FG's office everything has been great. Excellence is seen all over the place, from the clinic itself (Plastimedic) to his assistant Karel, to Dr. FG himself. When you hear him describe his technique and how he makes a few things different (and explain why he does so) you notice you're in the hands of a true artist, and that's exactly how I feel now, like a piece of art. :D
