WORTH IT
I was always on the fence about getting liposuction. I searched for a doctor close to home and then decided to widen that search after seeing just ok to mediocre patient pictures from so many doctors. The minute I found Dr. Hovsepian, I stopped searching. I wanted a natural, feminine shape that was toned in all the right places and I didn't want to look like a cartoon character. Dr. Hovsepian delivered far beyond that. His patient pictures don't do justice to his level of skill. He performed liposuction of my entire back, conservative lipo of my abdomen and upper torso, inner thighs and light lipo on my outer thighs. In addition, I had fat grafting/transfer to my breasts. I didn't expect the results to be this flawless, but look this natural. I am just over a month post-op and couldn't be happier with how quickly I've healed. I've gone from a size 8 to a size 4. If you're looking for a surgeon that deeply cares about the quality of his work, his patients and is the best in his field, you should get a consultation with Dr. Hovsepian. I trusted him 100% to work his magic on the operating table and he revealed the body that I was hiding all these years. It was well worth the investment and peace of mind.

Are you going to post pictures? A good review should be accompanied with pictures.

I appreciate your feedback. I am not posting additional pictures at this time. If this does not help you, I encourage you to read other reviews or visit Dr. Hovsepian's site or Instagram feed. Please understand that it's a personal choice (think about those who choose not to for religious reasons etc...). Thank you.

Pre-op pics coming soon...
Courageous79September 20, 2020
Hi Everyone! I have a lot of requests for pre-op pictures. I really want to help anyone trying to make this decision and provide as much information as possible. I've reached out to Dr. Hovsepian hoping to get some of those to share with everyone. I hope to post a side-by-side comparison very soon!! In the meantime, I will dig up some old pictures. Thanks for your patience!

Not a lot but he did take some from the upper and lower abdominal areas. Most came from my back.

Do you mind if I ask how much was the cost?
January 25, 2021
It's about $2,000-$3000 per area (more if you're on the heavier side). He's not cheap...but worth it in my opinion (triple-board certified gave me peace of mind)...so expect to spend north of $15,000.

Were you awake during the procedure? If so, how was that? How has healing been?
October 2, 2020
No I was completely asleep for about 4.5 hours. Healing was pretty quick because I religiously wore the garment and both front and back body boards as I was told. I also refrained from drinking...so if you can do that, you're healing process will be quicker.

hard material inserts that help with compression and shape forming...you can find them on Amazon and are common after lipo or other types of surgery

Thanks! My procedure is next month but I’ll be awake under local anesthesia. Hopefully that goes well.

I love my results!! I’m down about 20 pounds. I just started cavitation this week to maintain and keep it right but my doc did a great job!!!

Drink liquor slows the healing process?
January 25, 2021
Anything that contributes to inflammation can slow your healing progress. Best to stay away from liquor as you recover.
