Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
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.

Complete life changer

Since my lower body lift I have also had an arm lift, breast lift & augmentation, (may procedure) and a thigh lift most recently (3.5weeks post) so I'm actually swollen in these photos, but this is my result at 7 months post and my scars- couldn't be happier

I have a second review started for my next procedure on May 9th

Hey everyone,

I'm still doing great recovering from my body lift in January, (14 weeks post op now!) and I've started a second review for my Arm Lift/Breast Lift, BA, Thigh lipo- if you want to continue following me I would subscribe to that review. I will be posting a lot less on this one except to periodically check in on my milestones (6 months post, 1 year post, etc.).

I'm really excited to be starting phase 2 of this journey, and even more excited to be going back to Dr. Kortesis for it! May 9th is just around the corner :)

Click my username and my reviews should be there for you to follow if you like!

Hope everyone is doing well and maybe I'll hear from you soon!

Swell Hell and Workouts!

I got my monthly visitor about 6 days ago and I have been visible swollen for over a week! The scale refuses to move too, but the good news is that I have started working out again. I honestly was a bit scared to try because of how tight my muscles were feeling so I stuck to walking for a long time, but last night I bit the bullet and surprisingly I'm not very sore at all today!

I took some progress pictures after my workout and to note how swollen I am....I can tell its better this morning just from last night. I'm assuming this is the swell hell they always talk about, but for some reason I thought it came sooner than this seeing as I'm almost 3 months post op.

I'll keep posting progress pics- I love how my scar looks, and I can't wait to see how it fades :)

The second phase of surgery is scheduled for June 27- arm lift, breast lift/aug, full thigh lipo & lipo to flanks. The last phase will be my thigh lift- until then, working out and staying as fit as possible!

Dr. Kortesis is a fantastic surgeon, and he really takes the time to understand what exactly you're looking for before making his recommendation. Surgery is a huge decision, and he makes sure you have all your questions answered and that you are comfortable in your decision. All the staff have been wonderful so far and I have no complaints. Wait times can be a little long but that is mostly because the office is so busy; that is to be expected. I couldn't be happier with my results so far, and will continue to update my review as I heal.
