Definitely recommend, with a few small caveats
I've now been to Dr. Weinzweig for two procedures: first, chin lipo, then lipo 360 (full abdomen, flanks, upper back, plus I asked him to do my arms) Overall I'm pretty satisfied with his work and would recommend him to others. I'll probably go back to him for another procedure, in fact. PROS: (1) He's very experienced and competent. Don't let the good prices fool you into thinking he's a shady or second rate doctor. I worried about this initially, but I found that his credentials are great and he's very professional and knowledgeable. He clearly knows what's he's doing. I’ve had no irregularities, and my chin looks great. He also has a nice sense of shape in the torso, and focused my 360 procedure on the upper waist and flanks, which carved out a nice hourglass shape. I’ve seen some lipo afters where the patients look sort of board-like, and I’m glad he doesn’t do this. There's artistry there. (2) His facilities are very nice. They're well-located but still are fully operational surgical facilities with an anesthesiologist on staff. The office areas are very nice as well. Again, it's the real deal, not a weird backroom. (3) He doesn’t go overboard. He’s been frank with me about procedures I don’t need, and the limitations of certain procedures. While this can sometimes lead to slightly less dramatic results (see below,) I’d prefer a careful surgeon to an over aggressive bargain one who removes too much fat, causing aesthetic imperfections and/or serious health issues. As much as I love the before and afters of those Colombian instagram docs, I don’t feel that you can safely get those results in one go.
(4) The prices. Once I’d ensured that these other factors were met, I chose Dr. Weinzweig because his specials were a great deal. Many surgeons get huffy when you ask them about price, urging you not to comparison shop and to just pick the best doctor for you. I get what they're saying--you don't want to compromise your safety or your results. That said, some doctors’ costs make these procedures out of reach to me and many others. I saw one—in Iowa, no less—who quoted me nearly $12k for these lipo procedures. Weinzweig likely has the skill and experience to charge more, but he charges less because (I assume) he does a large volume of procedures. I didn't feel like I was getting an inferior result because I paid less. NOW. I do want to note a few cons. (1) Lack of personalized attention. The staff will listen to your concerns and make sure you’re comfortable, but you definitely can sort of tell that you’re one of many, many patients they’re seeing that day. I’m willing to forego this concierge treatment for lower costs, but it’s something to consider. The doctor is perfectly nice and helpful, but I’ve probably spoken to him a total of 30 minutes in my life. It just feels a little more rushed, a little more impersonal, not as much follow up. More in and out. (2) A tiny bit conservative with fat removal. As I said above, I’d rather this than for him to be too aggressive, and I’m satisfied with my results and feel they’re quite noticeable. That said, I have found with both lipo procedures that I wanted a little more. After the chin, there was a small amount of residual fat left over. Not super noticeable, but definitely there. I asked one of his staff physicians about this, and they told me to try and lose weight, which sort of annoyed me. I actually DID end up doing that, but the little bit of fat remained. He removed it for a nominal fee during my 360 procedure, which helped. Similarly, while my lipo 360 looks quite nice overall, I did find that my arms didn’t show much of a difference since he only took fat out of the back. It’s pretty subtle. Granted, I have fat, muscular arms, and only doing the back is standard for arm lipo, since other areas are more tricky. But I’ve seen good results when doctors remove more fat around the outer arm. I’m planning on getting additional lipo on the arms, and might look into doctors who specialize in more “cutting edge” arm procedures. Basically, he’s going to play it on the safer side. You will definitely like your results, but they might not be quiiite as dramatic as you’d like. If I were paying full price, I’d find this more of an issue, but for the price, I think it’s still a great deal. Like I said, overall I’d totally recommend him. If you’re on the fence, I’d definitely encourage you to go for a consult.
