I don't think there are enough good things to say about Dr. Herbich. I had liposuction from him four days ago and I must say that even with the swelling I could tell the difference immediately. I did a total of three areas, Upper Back, Lower Back (Rolls) and Arms. I found Dr. Herbich my happen stance ..He had a liposuction special of 1299 per large area. I called and made an appointment. At the appointment I didn't even sit down long enough to fill out my form and I was in (no waiting). I went into his office and he asked me my concerns and what I wanted done. Said "I can do it" but I want to make sure your blood is ok..please do blood work first. Ive gone to cosmetic Dr.s before and I don't remember doing blood work. So, I did it ... and it came back that I had severe anemia . Shocked.. I had no idea ! Amazed and thankful to Dr. Herbich ..I followed up and notice my primary care Dr. Wasn't worth much so i switched. After a few ultra sounds I found I had a female problem causing me to bleed too much and I was anemic. I went into surgery and handled that. Months later, after taking iron pills, I came back to Dr. Herbich. He still honored the special although over 4 months passed. AMAZING !... I will now be doing my breast revision with him with implants. His prices are very reasonable and he will stop what he is doing to answer your questions. I have his cell number in case I get nervous and question the size or the shape of my implants. He didn't nickel and dime me for each and every thing after surgery. He told me the list of the different prices and options for all the possible outcomes and his objective is not to take your money...its doing his art correctly and your health along the way. I was really anemic and if it wasn't for him - I would have never known.
After much researching I am TOTALLY amazed .. this Dr. has been in Board of Cosmetic Surgery since 1991 ...and Board of Dermatology since 1985 (He developed laser skin resurfacing in 1982) ...ALL of this and he doesn't advertise that much. He must not feel the need too.... Yet, amazingly enough, I find other doctors who spend tons and tons of money to get there name out there ..but...they got board certified 15 years ago! Wow! I haven't met a person unhappy about him yet. His clients come to him again and agin for MANY MANY years ... and now I know why. I won't ever leave.

Today is Aug 129 days since my lipo suction. I am still swollen (not as much) I am very very happy with my results. I saw my Dr. a few times to check in ..and I cant tell you how reassuring it is that (even at the point of swelling) he tells me! Its swollen still, but i still see one small roll-if it doesn't go down in three months time-I will retouch FREE. I am thankful I have found him.SOOOOO THANKFUL.
Anyway, I found the pain meds to be helpful up until day 7. The extreme pain was not present at days 6 and 7, but, it was more like a irritation that built throughout the day. I suggest just to take the pain meds till it is gone then your good.
From days 1 to 5 I did gauze and surgical tape to the incision sites. Since day 6-8 I did regular bandaids. At 9th day (today) I am letting them go with no coverage, (the sites are closed..pink and raw...but closed.
I don't think the itchiness stops ....its mind numbing itchiness ...it does decrease SLIGHTLY as time goes by.
I suggest anyone in the area of honolulu that has some small or large stubborn fat....they should get this done by Dr Herbich. Other surgeons are charging 3000-4000 for the same process. will post again soon...breast aug being redone (IN 4 DAYS)
