I originally had a consultation with Dr. Anthony Terrasse in Lake Forest. Same type of office setting but did not get that warm fuzzy feeling and did not seem as thorough. A friend had a procedure done with Dr. Epstein and suggested that I get a second opinion. I was so glad that I did.
I had abdominoplasty and liposuction. I am 4 week post op and am very happy so far. Still waiting out the swelling. The office staff is amazing. I had an overnight stay at the facility with a private nurse tending to me all night long (thanks Nancy & Erin!).
Beautiful office, very clean facility (very important to me as a germaphobe). My compression garment was black and hard to conceal with summer attire. I would suggest asking for a nude/ivory instead. And possibly getting a second one so you can wear it while the other is laundered (pricey though $70-$100. NONE of this , except for the pain meds, is covered by insurance. Thanks Doc for giving me my confidence back!

That is an incredible transformation. Your body type looks similar to mine and if after I look that good I'll be very pleased. Mine is March 2017, I'm on a cancellation list for January.

He did full liposuction as well. I still have some swelling, numbness and tenderness. You should be pretty close to final flatness by 6 months but it really takes a full year for ALL the swelling to subside. After surgery you must start a healthy lifestyle diet and exercise. I am 48 years old and 5'3". Before surgery I weighed 171 and today I am 151 and still want to lose another 10 to be at my goal weight. The surgery itself was really painless. You are achy during recovery but I never really had any actual pain. I should have done it 10 years ago. And if you can have Dr. Epstein do it you will be VERY pleased. Special note...If you get a headache/Migraine after surgery you CAN take Excedrin (Tension Headache ONLY). I suffered for 3 days with a migraine and found that out after :0(

I think that's great that you finally did it. It's so hard to believe that our bodies change that much after a TT.

I wish I had done a bit more research and found this website first so I could have take advantage of the $1,000 discount on my procedure. Oh well, you live and learn! Maybe he or his staff will see this and work something out ;0)

I had a full abdominoplasty and liposuction July 28, 2016. I just had my 3 month follow up and pictures. Dr. Epstein will never really know how he has changed my life. My confidence level is through the roof. I carry myself differently and dressing how I have always to. He has the best demeanor and bedside manner. He has a way to put you at ease and never makes you feel bad about yourself. I cannot wait to have something else fixed :0)
The staff is fantastic and so genuine. The have "Customer Service" nailed. So efficient, professional, pleasant and on the ball at all times.
