Anonymous • Arm lift (brachioplasty)
United States of America

I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me
During my consultation, the surgeon personally did the markings and was very honest about where the scars from my full arm lift would be and their visibility. The procedure went well. The staff was excellent. They all took very good care of me including the recovery, and I was very comfortable and felt like the staff really cared about me. I am recovering from the surgery on both arms and feeling better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch with a clear aftercare guide and is easy to reach. My only point for improvement would be pre-operative communication; for example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. A quick review of those key details beforehand would be helpful. The only additional cost was for my compression sleeve, which I was advised of in advance.

I don’t know if this was part of the clinic’s responsibility but I didn’t have a lot of information beforehand. For example, I didn’t realize I would be spending the night in the facility. This could be my fault for not reading the instructions adequately but I don’t remember anyone pointing this out. It would be a good idea maybe just to go over those things with someone like me

My coordinator stayed in touch regularly, the clinic was modern and clean, and the doctor was very personable and efficient. I was most concerned about understanding the process, but the surgeon explained the downtime and realistic results clearly, even doing a test spot first. Recovery is going about as expected. There were no additional expenses. The only area for improvement is the follow-up; the instructions were not very detailed, and there has been little contact from the clinic since the procedure.

The journey has been positive so far
For anyone considering this surgery, I wanted to share my initial thoughts. I opted for the malleable (semi-rigid) implant. It's still very early in my recovery, so it's genuinely too early to tell what the final outcome will be, but the journey has been positive so far. The clinic environment was great, and I appreciated the friendly staff, which made a real difference in feeling comfortable. I was also pleased that there were no additional expenses on top of the price we agreed on. The clinic team has stayed in touch with me since the procedure, which is very reassuring. It was a solid experience.

My experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive
If a friend was considering this, I'd tell them my experience with the surgeon, staff, and clinic has been very positive. At this point in my recovery, everything is feeling about as expected. The clinic team has stayed in touch, and I really appreciated that there were no additional expenses on top of what I initially paid. That was a relief. My main piece of advice would be to prepare well for your consultation. I would suggest asking for more time with the doctor before surgery and to bring pictures of what you’d like done specifically to make sure you're aligned.
I was assisted from beginning to end! Great price with a great and safe experience.
Anonymous • Blepharoplasty (Eyelid correction)
United States of America
Jun 1, 2026
If a friend asked me about this clinic for eyelid surgery, my answer would be an absolute no. I chose the traditional incision method for both my upper and lower lids, and the process has been concerning. My biggest challenge is dealing with dry eyes constantly, which is a persistent discomfort throughout the day. The incision lines are still quite red, but the aesthetic result is the most upsetting part. When I smile, you can clearly see how one side is different from the other. The lack of care from the surgeon and staff was palpable. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.
The doctor did not need with me before the surgery to ask anything that I wanted. They did not do a good job on the surgery. I would not go back
