I have never been happier with my body in my ENTIRE LIFE!! I am 30 years old and feel like I look even better than I did when I was 20! My husband wanted to buy me a new car but I opted for a new body instead. I couldnt have made a better decision. Dr.Alavi is an extremely skilled surgeon with a steady hand an a great eye. I went in for the consultation only expecting to get some basic information and I walked out with a surgery date. Their was no pressure from him or any of his wonderful staff. They all made me feel very comfortable in quite honestly, a very uncomfortable situation. Dr.Alavi was very patient with me during the initial consultation and did not once bat an ugly or judgemental eye at my son while he was screamimg about motorcycles in the consult room. He remained calm and answered my questions without hesitation. He explained why he prefers one methd over another explained how he does the procedures and then did a brief exam. Everything was very straightforward. I did not feel uncomfortable and I felt a very good energy from him. He has the energy of someone who loves what he does and he immediately gave me the confidence that he knew exactly what he was going to do to "fix" me. I scheduled my appt for a breast augmentation and abdominalplasty that day(I would like to mention i did lots of research prior to the appt as well and he still came out on top) The office staff is incredible as well. I would not have been able to get my surgery if Pat had not taken the time and been able to work within my time frame. His nurses and front desk staff are very friendly and respectful. Their is always someone available to answer your questions during recovery and they follow up with you via text/call to make sure you are doing well after the surgery. Im pretty sure Dr.Alavi called me right after the surgery to see how I was doing but that part is a bit foggy to me. It usually isnt important to me how competent or friendly staff are at a Dr.s office but I feel like in this situation it is, and they nailed it. Great people. I knew walking into my surgery I was in good hands and ultimately thats what really matters. Carol his anesthesiologist is friendly and comforting. She made me nice and relaxed going into the surgery and made sure I was comfortable before my nervous/anxious husband drove me all the way home going at about 20mph cause he didnt want to risk hurting me. The incision on my abdomen looks phenomenal for what it is and it is healing very nicely. My muscles were tightened to perfection and I now have a beautiful hourglass figure again. No complications. He left a very thin scar. I don't even feel that I had a breast augmentation because it was very painless and I cant even see the scars on my areola. He did everything EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED IT DONE and I didnt even have to be very specific with him. He knows exactly what he is doing. I honestly couldnt be happier. The only painful part of my surgery was getting the drains removed(that part sucks). Obviously I have experienced some minor discomfort but that is to be expected with any surgery. Other than that the pain was very minimal for me and I feel amazing. I am now 4 weeks post op and feel like my body is stunning. Everything is going great. I give him my strongest recommendation. So, in the interest of not writing an entire book on how satisfied I am, If you are looking to have your life changed Dr.Alavi is a great choice. His rates are very reasonable and they offer different financing options if you don't have that kind of cash on hand. Also, they have a candy dish in the waiting room with good candy in it so thats just a little extra bonus lol. Go see Dr.Alavi. You wont be dissapointed.

I'm going to Dr. Alavi tomorrow for BA, I'm super excited and naturally a little bit nervous. Do you mind me asking what size implant you went with and what profile? You're looking great!

I didn't go for a particular size per se, i just told him i wanted them "filled up" but i am fitting into a d cup. I ttried onthe d cup during the preop and it felt like a good fit.. He suggested i go with the wide and round and I agreed. i believe i have 420 in one and a little less in the other to make them even. I'm telling you he is amazing. Feel free to ask me any questions! !! I love my results so far! Good luck on your journey. It's not easy but it is worth it!

Thanks for reading! I hope it helps ! I know when I was doing research for my surgery no one showed good progress pics throughout the whole process so that's what i wanted to give to the community! Plus it keeps me on track having to get naked once a week for my camera lol. Your recovery will be a challenge but make the best of it! Feel free to ask any questions! I'm an honest open book! When is your surgery?

You looked great!
I'm considering going to Dr. Alavi for a breast lift and tummy tuck. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to share a close up of the incision. It looks amazing. I'm still at home recovering so I have a lot(A LOT)of down time and honestly I never thought I would ever think about my body this much! But after the surgery I feel like a new person and I am so much more motivated to take better care if myself(mental), my skin and my diet. I can't wait to start exercising again so I can lift my butt!
Looking good, thank you for sharing your journey and pictures with the community.
