"Love going to Arijai, if you haven’t been you definitely need to go! The staff is knowledgeable about every aspect of aesthetics and offer a variety of services! I have been going to Cynthia the body contouring queen for slimming/tightening my chin and have been LOVING the results so much that I can’t wait to target other areas!!!"

"I would like to start out by saying that Karen is very professional and does an amazing job in her facials. At first, I was a little leery because you know guys don’t get facials. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I felt very pampered. I also felt that Karen loves her job and it shows in her work. She takes her time, talks to you about what she is doing to you and makes you feel at ease. My skin on my face looked like I was 20 years younger! To be honest, I started going to Karen after I had purchased a facial for my wife. My wife is now a very loyal customer and loves her facials with Karen. My wife’s face looks amazing and has changed for the better since she has been going to see Karen. If you have been wanting to get a professional pampered facial, you need to see Karen."

"Karen is the absolute best when it comes to your skin care needs. Quite often, us men do not fully understand the benefits of taking great care of our skin. Karen's services are amazing and I'm always getting compliments on how great my skin looks. I also take my teenage daughter for regular treatments with Karen. My daughter isn't allowed to wear makeup in school and she laughs when teachers mistakenly think she is wearing makeup. She says it's because of Karen's work and is so happy with the results. Do yourself a favor and schedule some time with Karen. You won't regret it!"

"Karen is the absolute BEST. I have always dreaded facials because I have had horrible experiences. Constantly being told my skin is bad, I’m not taking care of it, too many breakouts, and at some point I started to believe it. It wasn’t until I started with Karen that my journey truly began. She cares for not only your skin, but for YOU! She empowers you and she also educates you about your skin, recommendations to what you can try to get the skin of your dreams. I will always recommend everyone to Karen, best decision I ever made."

"After way too long of a break from any self-care of this nature, I reached out to Lacey for an assist - sharing that I wanted to look drastically better to myself but only subtlety better to everyone else. That’s a tall order, but Lacey is a well-trained ARTIST! I always trust her recommendations, am once again very pleased with the results, and continuing to enjoy the shocked look on people’s faces when I tell them I am 62 years old. 😊 Looking forward to more consistency with these visits in the future!"

"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."

"I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look - Don’t look any further—Book your consultation! I dragged my feet for a year before I even booked my consultation. Dr B is VERY professional and made me feel so comfortable before surgery. Dr B is very informative and doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s to the point and let’s you know what your options are for your body and the results you are looking for. To be honest, I’m a rule follower and all the pre-op info was very overwhelming to me because it was the first time I’ve ever had plastic surgery. I wanted to do all the things right and to ensure I would protect my expensive investment. Do your homework. There’s more into the post-op than the surgery itself. Dr B and his team will stay in touch and guide you through your entire journey. I’m 14 weeks post-op and I’m still healing! Make sure you are prepared when you go back home. Book Dr B’s very own recovery house—it’s worth every dollar and knowing what I know now, it shouldn’t even be something you decide to skip! The first few days you are drenched in blood/fluids from open draining incisions & tubes. Having the assistance from the recovery house and someone to help you out of the messy dressings was a must for me! I felt safe, well taken care of, and loved in the house. They even drive you to and from all your post op visits with Dr B. Day 4 started the emotional and mental roller coaster that would last a few months—be prepared for this!! Make sure you’re aware it does take a while to recover. I was nieve and thought I’d bounce back asap. Allow yourself the time off the week after surgery and get your massages. Dr B did an amazing job and I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look. I’m blessed to have found the very best in this field and have my confidence back! #momof2"

"I won’t go anywhere else - so lucky to have this doctor and team - I absolutely love this place! I have been going here since 2019 and haven’t ventured anywhere since. From the moment I walk in, Libby or Melissa are so welcoming along with Chris the office manager. I have been in for Botox, filler, and 360 lipo with BBL. Dr Balgobin is the master of what he does. I feel so fortunate to actually be local to someone that really cares and enjoys what he does. Always adding the latest procedures and the first in the country for permanent booty filler. My friend just had it done and loves it! She also had lipo and no BBL and the ab etching on her is so hot! I’m so happy to have introduced many people here. When it comes to the walk through on procedure, Aftercare and overall experience with the surgery of lipo/bbl I felt in very good hands. Highly recommend Arijai! They have definitely help turned back the time clock for me and I feel so confident. Also I must add the facials, skin pen and ZO skin care are a must."

"3 months post op - completely blown away by my results - I am a 40 year old mom of one. Have always workout, ate good, have done the best I can to keep myself in shape. The thoughts of a tummy tuck just wasn’t for me personally. Along with other places I had visited for other options. I came to Dr. Balgobin regarding my concerns with saggy/lose skin. He said I would be a good fit for Vaser assisted lipo, along with J Plasma. Let me tell you!! I am only 3 months post op, and am completely blown away by my results. On top of my booty looks AMAZING, and I didn’t even get a BBL. Lol. Knowing that I will have continued results in the months to come has me super excited!! Him, along with his staff are very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. Inviting, cozy environment. Shout out to both Tara, and Dani for being right there to answer any of my post op questions/needs. Thank you ladies. Would highly recommend anyone considering cosmetic surgery to set up your consultation with Dr. Balgobin."

"Mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old - Dr. Balgobin made me feel so safe. I wasn’t scared at all and it’s because of him. He took every precaution there was to assure my safety. I told him what I wanted my body to look like, and he did it for me. He listened to my wants and needs. He told me exactly what to expect. He follows up with me, till this day. The level of care that this doctor gives is commendable, not to mention the results. His clinic is VERY CLEAN. The operating room was like a high end hospital. The staff is just as amazing as he is. I love the experience that I’ve had with Dr. Balgobin (BBL) and his team! The body he gave me is the nicest body I’ve ever had in my life.

"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!"

"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 !"

"This doctor, his nurse Cindi, the entire staff including his recommended “POST OP” lymphatic drainage massage therapist are all AMAZING.!!! Any question I had they responded in a timely manner, they went above & beyond to make me comfortable.!! I had surgery 5/17/2021 & am so beyond happy with my results.! I’m going to start by saying this is an expensive procedure.! The cost does tend with the surgery, that’s only the beginning.! You will have to buy multiple (like 6) faja’s & have them altered as well.... Post Op Lymphatic Drainage Massages are a necessity & they aren’t cheap either.!! Also want to say that the massage you get POST OP is NOT the relaxing, feel good drainage massage. These massages are slightly painful when being done but you will feel so much better after.! The intention is to drain the remaining fluid after surgery.! SO WHEN BOOKING ONE & MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU NEED POST OP DRAINAGE.!!! Anyways my results are AMAZING, I super happy & already thinking about a round 2..!!! Thank you SOOOO much DR. BBL & thank you the the entire staff also MS CARLOLYN at the recovery house.!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of you.!!!"

"Lipo 360 - the staff were nice, informative and very available - I was so freaking nervous. Tou know you see good and bad reviews so I didn't know what to expect. I know that I was a little on the heavier side of most patients. I wanted lipo 360 only with jplasma. The staff were nice and informative and very available. I stayed at the recovery house for 5 days with Ms. Tamika. She made the process that much better. The food, the love, the care, just everything. We were so lucky to have her.

"Lipo360 after having a baby - one of the best decisions I have made - Before having my second child (19 months old) I was a Marathon runner and a gym junkie. After giving birth I wasn’t able to get back to where I was physically and mentally. I couldn’t shake that extra baby weight either. So I decided to turn to liposuction to the abdomen. I found Dr. Balgobin on social media and started to follow his work. Walking into Dr. Balgobin office on surgery day hit me hard. I was so nerves but after he walked in the room he made me feel so comfortable and ready for this new beginning for myself. This has to be one of the best decisions that I have made. I’m only 3 weeks post surgery. I have had ups and downs, dealing with the faja, the lipo foam and the ab board. But I know it will all be worth it at the end. I stayed at the recovery house and I advise others to do so as well."

"Highly Recommend - After spending two years, and countless consultations, searching for a doctor for my BBL I was referred to Dr. Balgobin at arijai aesthetics. I requested my consultation and the staff did an amazing job at their response times and getting me a consultation in a timely manner. This was such a wonderful change as many places I had requested consultations with took weeks to even return my emails so this quick response was so appreciated! During my consultation I got to speak with Dr. balgoban and go over all of my needs and wishes as well as ask every question that was on my list and I truly felt like he actually listened to my wants and needs and took it all into consideration well just well giving me realistic answers to all of my questions. We discussed one major topic which many other doctors that I had consulted with were pushing me into getting a tummy tuck which I didn’t want or feel comfortable with getting. When I expressed these concerns and asked questions to Dr. balgoban and he gave me a more noninvasive solution and recommended J plasma which I had never even heard of and I was so appreciative of his recommendation and after listening to him explain the procedure and explain how my results would be with getting the J plasma, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had an easy time booking My BBL with Lipo 360 & J plasma his staff walked me through the entire process answered every single question I had quickly and sent me very detailed lists of everything I should expect and everything that I needed to do and purchase for my procedure and post op. They truly left no stone unturned. I did also make the decision to stay at the recovery house and that was such an incredible experience. From the coordination to picking me up at the airport taking me to and from my surgery caring for me the entire week after I was in great hands and I felt so well taken care of their the recovery home was very clean very well-maintained and the staff at the recovery home knew exactly how to take care of me. I am now One month postop my results are exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Never in my life have I had any sort of curves at all, I’ve never had hips and I’ve definitely never had a butt and now I have all of those things as well as a flat tummy and a total confidence boost! I absolutely loved my experience with Dr. balgoban and his amazing staff as well as the recovery home I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a luxury experience and AMAZING results!"

"My Experience with Dr. Balgobin and Arijai Team Exceeded my Expectation!!! - I am 53 with 3 kids. After a year of searching for the right doctor or clinic I almost signed up for my bbl procedure with a Dr. in Miami, FL. Then I read a lot of good review about Dr. Balgobin in Minnesota where I live 3 minutes away from his clinic. I called and left a message. For my surprise he took time to call me and answer all my questions. I had my BBL procedure done 3 weeks ago. The whole Arijai team is super nice, frendly and professional. I met with Dr. Balgobin before my procedure discuss what I want and he listened and gave me all my options. I sincerely don't have words to express how happy I am with my decision. He is the most knowledgeable, professional, humble and very carrying doctor. He knows what he is doing and very confident about it. With Dr. Balgobin it is all about the well being of his clients and their satisfaction. He did a fabulous job!!! I recommend anyone to pay the extra and take the option to stay at the welcome house for 5 days after the procedure. A beautiful house that is so relaxing. A super nice nurse aid with nurturing nature who can help you go through each day.She prepares healthy delicious meals everyday. Water, protein drinks, supplements, all supplies included. More than anything the nurse will help you go through every steps so you don't have to know what to do. She also help you clean and shower... and more. We had a great group of ladies sharing our experience and had so much fun being there. Nurse will take you to your appointments for your checkup. Make life easier. Edna thank you! You really are so special!!! You can arrange your massage at the welcome center if you want one.I know it is hard to decide where to go for these types of procedure. My experience with Dr. Balgobin (Dr.BBL) and his teamExceeded my expectation and I highly recommend him to any one out there looking for the right doctor. I promise you will love your result. I love the new me! My I feel 21 again. Thank you Dr. BBL and Arijai team."

"Above & beyond - I had lipo360 and chin lipo March 2021. Dr. BBL and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process. I'm ecstatic about my results and I'm only 8 weeks P.O. Dr. Bbl far exceeded my esthetic expectations. His nurses provide all info you need to know regarding what to expect and proper post op care. They respond immediately to any questions or concerns. In each of my pot op appointments, It's clear the nurses are dedicated to their patients and proper care. They remembered small details about myself and my journey (all medically unnecessary, but just to show the detail and observation they have to making a true connection)."

"Liposuction 360, chin lipo and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin made me a hot 50 year old! - Curves for days.  am beyond ECSTATIC with my results. The whole experience was great from start to finish. The recovery house was beautiful and the staff took great care of me. I would recommend!Updated on 2 Feb 2021:Dr. Balgobin and his magic JPLASMA got me bikini ready. Dr. Balgobin was honest and informed me a tummy tuck was the "gold standard". I didn't want a tummy tuck and I had realistic expectations. I followed his Post OP instructions like it was my PLASTIC SURGERY Bible. In my opinion the aftercare massages and COMPRESSION help with my results. I still where my faja and compress 4 months in and I plan on doing so until I am at least 6 months post op."

Everywhere I go no exaggeration I have people immediately turn heads to look at me & get several compliments on my body. I wanted a extreme hour glass shape. From the doctor to the nurses everyone in the office is welcoming comforting and professional. I was informed on everything I needed to know about every aspect of getting the surgery. The aftercare post visits were great. I went home from surgery with the proper garment and lipo foam inside my garment as well as a BBL pillow to sit on. I know people who've gone to surgery centers where they did not provide thise items. They're important must haves."

"You never know who you will meet - I had liposuction 360, BBl and j-plasma done back in 2018. The lipo360 was great and I was literally obsessed with the results from the J-plasma. I never new my stomach could be so flat. I felt so confident in tight jeans without having a Bulge of fat. I Strongly believe if your going to get lipo done in the Abdominal, it’s a MUST to do J-plasma (life changing)! The BBL I was extremely happy with the size of my butt. But, I did not know that all my dimples and Cellulite would still remain. Actually they seemed to be more visible and bigger. I feel that it should be more explained from the Dr to people who have a good amount of cellulite. The recover house beds were horrible but I heard it’s all upgraded and absolutely beautiful now. The Doctors team of staff was absolutely phenomenal. From the guy who picked me up from the airport to the nurse at the recovery house All A1! I can’t wait to see the new house cause I plan to be back since I let myself go during covid-19, gained a few lbs and need lipo and that J-plasma again! But one amazing part of it all is I met an amazing women at the receiver house. She and I have become the best of friends. I’m from Boston and she from Baltimore. Crazy part was her man and my man booked the same hotel while she and I was having surgery! They also clicked. We all have been on several trips Greece, Cuba, Mexico, Aspen, Miami and DC and many more to come. We have celebrated every bday together since we met at the recover house. I definitely gained a friend for life.."

"Dr. Balgobin Changed my Life! - Incredible. I had lipo/bbl in Aug. 2019 and lipo/bbl/jplasma in March 2020. Let me start off saying I was shaped like spongebob. Totally square, love handles, ZERO butt, tire around my waist kind of fat. I hated my shape for years, and dreamed of wearing cute bodycon dresses or just a bikini in public, or heck, lingerie for that matter! I was IN SHOCK when I first saw myself in the mirror after my first round. So incredible how the fat is just rearranged to a new part of the body and I had a WHOLE NEW SHAPE!!! My waist had never looked so bangin!! I had a booty! After speaking with Dr.B about a second surgery, I booked immediately for the following month.. and I have never looked BETTER. Not everyone needs to have 2 procedures, but I was realistic going into this process.. I had an awful foundation to start with and I definitely needed some work. I am 6 months post op from my second surgery and this is hands down the best thing I've ever done for myself. So grateful to Dr.Balgobin and thankful he took me on as a patient. The staff was amazing start to finish, easy to get a hold of, wonderful communication. 10/10!!!"

I didn't know if I would look like my wish pictures and I'm not only looking like them but better!My massage therapist in Michigan tells me everytime how impressed she is with his liposuction skills.

The office is beautiful and clean.I also stayed in their recovery house for 5 days and it was the best experience I could have had. Tamika is THE BEST nurse, she is an amazing caregiver who is very knowledgeable, so positive, and is a great cook!

Tamika was amazing extremely helpful in everything her cooking was delicious and the attention she gave me was perfect.

Dr.Balgobin was amazing I didn’t have to say much it’s like he knew exactly what I wanted even just coming out of surgery I almost cried of how amazing I already looked he truly has magical hands.

"Dr. BBL Gave Me my Dream Body!! - I had my bbl/Lipo March 16th, 2020 with Dr. Balgobin. He and his staff are amazing. Dani the surgical nurse was so helpful during my post-recovery week. She responded to my calls/emails right away! And Dr.BBL gave me my dream body! I’ve always gained weight in my stomach area and arms but my butt and hips were always flat and not flattering. I’ve researched different doctors and decided to go with Dr. BBL and I am glad I did. Not only is he kind and skilled, but he’s also honest. He is so knowledgeable and he knew exactly what I wanted. Honestly, recovery for me was a little tough I had no appetite and my hemoglobin dropped! I had massive headaches and I was also puking my guts out the entire first week. I wish I stayed at their recovery house, that’s honestly my only regret throughout this whole process. I stayed at a hotel with my husband who took great care of me, but it wasn’t enough. I needed a nurse and someone who had knowledge in post bbl care. However, my sister had her surgery a month ago, also with Dr.BBL of course and she stayed at their recovery house. And boy was our recovery different, they have a 24hr nurse at the house plus meals, snacks, and transportation. Tamika was one of the nurses at the house and my sis loved her. I also met Tamika in person she is super sweet and helpful. My advice dolls stay at their recovery house!!! You won’t regret it!!!! I love love my body, I got exactly what I wanted out of this surgery. The only downside is recovery is super long. Make sure you're well prepared both mentally and physically with realistic expectations."

"Don’t Go Anywhere else - I had been going to Dr. Balgobin for roughly a year for Botox and Filler but initially was drawn to his practice from seeing his Lipo and BBL on social media. I was in awe to be honest on the transformations he does! Like damn! I never thought that was possible! I reached out to him and he directed me to where his office was, I had gone elsewhere for Botox prior but I was just so impressed with their work I had to check it out. So first I tried the Botox and filler like I mentioned, his esthetician is amazing, I have brought all my friends to her as well. She also suggested this anti aging face regiment called Zo Skin Health by Zein Obagi. I’m on my third kit (comes in a pack with 5 products) and it makes my skin look and feel like I’m glowing. Finally after a year of going to his practice I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled my Lipo 360 and BBL. From the beginning when scheduling I was given so much information on what to expect, what to do before and after and they even offer a Recovery House for a very good price. If I wasn’t local and lived 20 minutes away I would have for sure done it. I was called a week before the surgery to be consulted again, what to do, what to expect/prepare, and after care information. Throughout the whole journey they were right there with me to answer any questions I had, which I didn’t have too many because they already answered most of them. I can’t really think of any cons.... Numerous girlfriends of mine have had the same surgeries by other Dr.’s, with no after care instructions, no recommendations on lymphatic massages or garments to wear following surgery, nothing!!! I feel bad even telling them how well I was taken care of because they payed good prices but had botched jobs. Dr. B does everything right and would not go or recommend anyone to go anywhere else. They are actually considering redoing theirs just to go to him and get it done right. My results are simply amazing it’s brought happy tears to my eyes and I’m only a little over a week post opp. I have felt this way since the day out the door. It’s everything I’d hoped it would be! And it’s only going going to get better! Looking forward to enjoying this for the long term."

"Recommend Dr. B and His Staff 150%! - Dr. B and his staff are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I recommend them 150%!!! I had my first BBL with J-Plasma to my stomach in July 2019 and was very happy with my result... just decided I needed “tweaked” in a few areas, so I went for round 2 BBL and added J-Plasma to my back and also added arm lipo as well, in February 2020. J-Plasma is amazing! You should add it onto your surgery! It practically suctions your extra skin to your body. I can’t even pinch any loose skin now! I’m 3 weeks post-op as of today and I’m healing up great! Very happy with my results already and I know they’ll continue to get even better! I traveled for surgery and stayed at the recovery house both times. I would NEVER want to do this type of surgery without the recovery house! Tamika is the most caring, compassionate and helpful person I’ve ever met! She has a huge heart and gives her all to every single girl staying at the house. I actually made sure she was going to be at the house the 2nd time I came because I missed her so much and couldn’t wait to see her again! It honestly felt like a “girl’s trip” while I was there. I also stayed in the one room that’s shared with someone else and although you might think you want your own private room, having a surgery buddy is great to keep your spirits up during your recovery process. We had lots of laughs and kept each other positive throughout the process. Thank you to every one of you at Arijai who has played a part in literally changing my life! I’ll never be able to thank you enough! Much love! XOXOUpdated on 20 Mar 2020:Round 1 Before and After Photos from July 2019. BBL with J-Plasma to the stomach. I highly recommend to use Arnica Montana tablets a month before surgery for bruising, Arnica Gel to help minimize bruising quicker, Jade Roller to help massage the scar tissue that begins to form after surgery, Lymphatic massages 2-3 times per week to keep the lymph flowing well and to decrease swelling and also drink a gallon of water a day at LEAST 2 weeks before and after surgery to say well hydrated and help the body recover quicker."

"Amazing Work - Dr. BBL (Dr. Balgobin) is an amazing surgeon and does amazing work transforming bodies. I had an amazing experience with him and his staff and postoperatively while staying at the recovery house. Ms. Edna (RN) tended to every need I had and provided me with valuable advise to enhance results. I would recommend to anyone who wants a natural shape after lipo 360 with BBL!! My husband is SOOOO happy with my results, almost as much as me!"

"Miami Booty - I have followed Dr.B for years and watched his work. He is so talented and skilled at sculpting your body and giving results that are proportionate to your body. I knew that none but Dr. B was going to touch this booty but him. I am overly ecstatic with my results and I'm still on the healing process . Dr. B recovery house OMG is so awesome. Tameka is sooo Awesome, she down to earth, very positive and a fantastic cook. Mary is also awesome to sweet and easy to talk to. These ladies really take care of you like a mother tends to her child. Choosing Dr. B and Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness was the best decision I could have made. The best cosmetics doctor with an awesome helpful, friendly staff.."

"Dr. BBL - Bring 40 on - I've followed Dr. B for at least 6 years and the time just worked out for me a few months ago. I took my pics submitted my questionnaire and recieved a call that day with a future appointment date with Libby for a virtual consultation. Dr. B called I picked a date put my down payment and then setup a call with my physician to clear me for surgery. I decided stay at the recovery house and must say that I am beyond glad that I did. The ladies have experience, are very welcoming, insightful, understanding and knowledgeable. The home itself is very much like a home, very cozy and up to date. Mary and Jeanette made themselves available but also run a tight ship. The home is always maintained very clean and if you need anything they will accomodate you on an errand run. If you are coming from out of state there is no reason why you should not stay here. I know some want to air bnb or hotel but trust me you'll have everything you need here.I would like to share that I was not feeling so great on my post OP visit (we all recover differently) Dani right away heard me was very attentive and her bed side manner just confirmed why I chose Dr. B and his staff. The following morning I still was not feeling well and I reached out to Chris, the office manager...on a Saturday! He promptly responded the girls at the house had a game plan for me and that evening Chris reached out to check on me again! I cannot say enough of Dr. B, Dani, Chris, and Libby thank you so much for caring and truly showing it. Thank you to the recovery house staff you ladies are amazing! I leave MN with a few new friends and a whole new body!"

"Lipo BBL w/J-Plasma - After months of research I had my surgery done by Dr.Bbl and I'm so happy I did! His work is amazing and he gave me exactly what I asked for! I would highly recommend staying at the recovery house. Tamika is very knowledgeable and she helped us all through our healing process even after I left the recovery house. I feel I made a friend more so than just having a nurse take care of me. The staff at Arijai were helpful and resourceful! There is so much information about post op that not everyone is informed about so do your due diligence and research, asks questions! Especially if you're traveling, you only get so much time at the clinic. Staying at the recovery house with tamika gave me insight on the best way to care for myself post surgery. This surgery is no walk in the park so boss up and brace yourself mentally for the after math! "

"I feel very grateful with surgery and the recovery - My experience has been great for the start. I was able to get on a fast track date. I dealt with everyone in the office over the phone and was pleased at how they didn't miss a beat, I traveled from Phoenix, AZ. I stayed at the recovery house where Tamika took great care of me and the 4 other girls here. Her food is the best. I loved the comradery that you feel at the house with the girls going through the same thing you are. Everyone has been so nice. Of course I'm loving my results. My waste is getting smaller and smaller and my butt is coming through. Definitely worth the money, the pain. I feel very grateful with surgery and the recovery. W/o the recovery house I wouldn't have been able to do it. Definitely recommend to add the 5 night stay, everything is included and they are so knowledgeable."

"Lipo 360 and Bbl - Dr Balgobin and his staff was very professional. He took the time to ask me what I wanted to achieve, he is very approachable, kinda cute, and values his patients. The procedure went well in my opinion with less bruising and pain than I anticipated. I LOVE MY RESULTS!!! I stayed at the recovery house where Edna and Tamika took great care of me and they are a wealth of knowledge.. (listen to them!) Edna was leaving the day I came in so most of my stay Tamika assisted me. She helped with pretty much anything I needed, going to the bathroom, helping with showers, changing bandages and Tamika cooked every meal which by the way was very tasty! Tamika also took me to all my post op appointments. Overall I definitely Dr Balgobin and the recovery house. A definite 5 star rating!!! I highly recommend!!"

"Dr. BBL is Absolutely AMAZING - Dr. Chris Balgobin aka dr BBL aka magician is thee best cosmetic surgeon in the game. He is so professional, always smiling, takes so much pride in his work, truly loves what he does, loves all his patients & more importantly delivers REALISTIC expectations/results. He turned my wish pictures into REAL LIFE in a matter of hours!!! My hips, waist & of course my Booty have put my confidence which was already pretty high OVER THE TOP!!! Dani, the surgery nurse, is VERY serious about getting you your best results while healing. She’s so crucial in your healing process. Chris with guest services is always one phone call away. The recovery house is beautiful, clean & there are home cooked meals that even accommodated me being vegan. Ms Edna took over the recovery house on the last day & It was like having my mom there! So much love for all you guys & thank you for putting the safety of your patients FIRST!!!"

"Good Experience with Dr BBL and Janae the Massage Therapist - Dear Doctor BBL i had a lipo 360 and BLL last week thank you for the surgery can’t wait to see the results. I would also like to ask you if you could give all ur patients Janae’s phone number for after care since she is very good at what she does (lymphatic Drainage massage) and since she is very good with human body. She is helping me a lot if it wasn’t her I would of be already in emergency room because of the fluid that built up in my body she helps me a lot and she does check up on me every day to see how I m recovering and also she tells me what my next steps are what i would need etc i just wish I would get her phone number in the beginning before the surgery i would of over stayed and get a good lymphatic Drainage massage package from her. After she gave me the lymphatic drainage massage for the first time in your office I felt so good so light and relaxed and I seen later on good results when I got home I looked up on the internet for janae to make sure I keep good detailed after care. wish I could have the massage and care for 2 more weeks I m sure I would be done with fluid in my body and swelling. I m still great full for that she checks up on me everyday so please make sure ur patient get her phone number at the beginning when they arrive at the recovery house."

"Lipo 360 with BBL - So pleased with my results. Had Surgery with Dr. Balgobin (Dr. BBL). My main desire was to have my love handles removed so that my waist could be snatched. Of course I wanted a nice booty, being that I did not have much back there. Dr. BBL fulfilled all of my wants and needs. I would recommend anyone to check him out if you meet the clearance for surgery."

"Worth the Jaunt Across the Country - So glad I travelled to Minnesota and headed the advice to stay at their Recovery House! I love my BBL, I have always been busty and had a plump behind, however I did not have an hourglass figure because I had no definition with my waist and lacked hips. Now I have both and couldn’t be happier! I knew Doctor Balgobin and his staff would be the best right away everyone there is so helpful and respond to any inquiries immediately. They are honestly the best from the reception desk over to the Recovery House."
