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.

Highly Skilled in Liposuction and BBL
Procedure: Lipo and BBL
Date of surgery: October 2020
Cost: ~10K
Currently 7 weeks post-op
Age: 30s
I began researching this procedure a few years after having a baby. I gained a great deal of weight during the pregnancy and I finally admitted to myself my old body was not going to return with diet and exercise alone. I initially only considered liposuction, but decided to add BBL as I wanted a significant change. The surgery took place in their outpatient surgery center in Cranberry. I was there from approximately 8 am to 5 pm. Sedation is oral medications only - I have read oral sedation alone can be very uncomfortable but I personally did not experience any discomfort or pain. I remember very little aside from going in and coming out surgery. I was impressed with the amount of time he spent on my procedure and the impeccably smooth and natural contour he was able to achieve without use of general anesthesia. Recovery involved a great deal of swelling for me personally, as he was able to extract a maximal amount of fat - I returned to work in a week although I would have liked to take two. In short, Dr. Giraldo is a very experienced, skilled, and principled surgeon with high standards for his own work. You should choose him if you desire very thorough liposuction and a natural-looking BBL. One caveat is that he is based in Texas and travels to Pittsburgh ~5 weeks for surgeries and follow-ups. If you are the type of person who is highly anxious and needs to be able to see the surgeon at moment's notice, this may not be right for you. He does have a very responsive team in Pittsburgh as proxy. His patient coordinator, Michelle, is very nice and always got back to me very quickly. I am happy to answer any questions through personal message.
