I just want to start out by saying that I am soooooo happy with my results for my hip filler and I recommend him to everyone! I have had a bbl before and unfortunately my goal was not reached. However with this filler my goal is coming more realistically now. My experience was definitely 100 stars. The staff was really welcoming and he is just so smooth you nearly do not feel the needle l. I am most definitely going in for my second round and I cannot wait !!!! My picture is 2nd day post-op.

Nothing less than amazing - completely changed the shape of my body - My experience with staff and Dr BBL has been nothing less then amazing ! Everyone was so kind! The process of preparing was so easy , and the staff did not hesitate to answer any questions I had prior to surgery! Dr BBL was honest, informative, about what expectations I should have after receiving these procedures. He COMPLETELY change the shape of my body ! Sometimes when trying clothes on it gets me a little emotional because I had been so self conscious about things I would wear I would avoid a lot , or cover up wearing a jacket or tie something around my waist ! Let me add that At my thinnest, heaviest, and most fit my body was always square! So to see curves has been phenomenal ! The recovery house as well I don’t know what I would do without Tamika she helped me so much, cooked amazing, had my meds ready , helped me get back and forth , and treated me very respectful !

PREOP- Lipo 360 w J plasma Sept'23 - Excited (and nervous) to be getting Lipo360 this fall with Dr. BBL. I thought of traveling to NYC or FL, but was glad to find him here!! I have 3 kids and am very busy with them. Staying in shape has been hard, especially after my last son. I am ready like yesterday!!

Already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work - My experience was amazing from begining to end! I did liposuction 360, arms and inner thighs as well as opted for the 5 day recovery house stay after surgery because I was coming all the way from Toronto, Canada.I was picked up from the airport by Nurse Edna and she was so friendly and welcoming, gave me the run down of how everything works but my time with her was short because she swapped out with nurse Tamika who was also fantastic. She drove me to my surgery and all post op appointments, cooked all my meals, changed bedding and provided daily dressing care, provided medication reminders, ensured we were always hydrated and even laughed and joked with us. She made the experience even better with her honest, funny, outgoing, and down to earth personality. Nurse Tamika went above and beyond for us girls in the recovery house and was always providing valuable information needed for the best recovery possible. I hope to see her again one day! Dr. Balgobin was one of the coolest doctors I've ever met in my life. I met him before surgery and he explained his methods and process and it was so comfortable to talk to. He is confident, knowledgeable and realistic which is absolutely necessary in a doctor when they're about to alter your appearance. He also entered my post op appts with the nurse to check on my progress which I absolutely appreciated. I am still swollen at day 5 post op but I am already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work.Dr. Dan was my anesthesiologist and he was informative and explained exactly what it is that he does and how he would monitor me during the procedure. I was grateful for him because he also made me realize that I was not actually allergic to a specific medication that I was under the impression that I was. I woke up from surgery feeling fine with no lingering after effects. Nurse Daniel was a SUPER STAR, she just knew her stuff. She explained everything whether it was small or big and made sure I understood the information. She was there every step of the way, in surgery, when I had IV therapy, post op appts, changing of my garment, and continuously reminded me that this is all a process and that post care is very important to achieve the body we want. At the beginning of this process I was terrified but the entire team made those feeling diminish and my experience was more than worth it. I would recommend Dr. B and his team every single time.Thank you everyone for such a memorable experience! There's still so much more I could say!

Great experience from start to finish - 4 days post-op liposuction - Everything was great from start to finish. I was a little nervous at first but every staff member was especially welcoming and helpful. Tamika took such good care of me for 5 days. She was comforting and helped me through every pain and rough patch. I briefly met Edna who was also a sweetheart. Mari was amazing with the massages. All the staff and nurses at the Medspa were wonderful as well.
