Liposuction Institute Testimonials

Total body transformation

After many years of thinking about having liposuction, and looking at all the magazines with the before and after shots I decided to make an appointment with Dr Ron. I had no idea how much this consultation would change the way my body would look or the way I thought about myself. After talking to Dr Ron I had no trouble in deciding to go ahead with the surgery and I was surprised at how affordable it was.

When the day of my surgery (thigh liposuction) finally arrived I was more excited than nervous (helped by a few sedatives). I was kept comfortable throughout the procedure and slept most of the way through it After 5 or so hours after surgery I walked out very satisfied with less fat on my thighs. Yes, the next day I was very bruised and swollen as you would expect. It felt like I had been to the gym for a very hard workout. Taking parocetomol regularly helped keep the pain under control and I returned to work after about a week. My legs now look totally different to what they did then. I had finally done what I had wanted to for many years; my only regret was that I hadn’t done it sooner. With my new found confidence growing, I was enthusiastic to continue (what I didn’t know at the time) would be a total transformation. Dr Ron then carried out liposuction on my upper and lower abdomen. The recovery time was significantly less that my previous experience. It was great to have a flat stomach after having two children. It was about this time that several of my friends commented on how great I looked., they had no idea how I achieved my new look (and I have no intention of telling them) My friends assume I have lost a lot of weight when in fact I have only lost about 3 kilograms in total.

My husband had seen a huge transformation in my confidence and my personality. With his encouragement ( not that I needed any) I found myself back under the great care of Dr Ron and his wonderful nurses. This time I had liposuction of my upper back. This procedure was easier than I ever imagined it would be. Never again do I need to wear baggy tee shirts.

Later on in the year I couldn’t wait to complete another part of my “journey to self improvement”. Dr Ron removed all the excess fat from my lower hips. This made an incredible difference because it was not just on my sides it was on my lower back as well. There was minimal bruising and I returned to work two days later and the recovery time was relatively quick. A few months later the only thing left to improve was my calves. I have walked daily for the past 15 years or so up to 40 kilometres a week. To me it did not appear to have any impact on toning or trimming my calves. I took what really was the easy way out. Dr Ron removed 250mls of fat off each calf. Apart from bruising (mainly on my ankles and feet) and the usual numbness that goes with liposuction I found myself very quicley back into my walking routine and by the fifth day it was no problem to walk 8km’s. I now can’t wait for winter and I am looking forward to buying myself a pair of leather boots that would once never have fitted around my calves.

This past year has been a learning curve for me. I now have the motivation to take better care of myself, and to be more careful about what I eat. My health has never been better. Thank you Dr Ron and staff
 

Liposuction was no small decision.

After consulting with my own general practitioner, I met with several doctors who perform this procedure. Dr Ron won my vote due to his extremely pleasant and professional manner. I was instantly put at ease and he was so very thorough with his medical inquiries. Unlike other doctors, he made sure to cover the entire wellbeing of me as an individual, which carried on even after I was recovered from the surgery. His fee was also more reasonable than others.

I gained a lost waistline, flat tummy and shape that no diet and exercise would have given me, along with a new confidence in myself. I would recommend Dr Ron and his staff to anyone who is considering this exciting experience. It is something that I have done purely for myself and I am thrilled I "took the plunge".Thanks to Dr. Ron and his wonderful staff.

I'm delighted with the results of my abdominal liposuction.

Dr Ron, you and your team took such delicate care of me throughout the entire procedure. I felt comforted and reassured from start to finish and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your skills to anyone considering a similar procedure. I now have a waist and a flat tummy and the results have literally reshaped me! Aside from the liposuction results, you are a terrific source of knowledge and expertise and you have drawn my awareness to my health and wellbeing in many beneficial ways. Thank you Dr Ron! 

I go to the gym everyday and just couldn’t get rid of the extra bit of fat around my stomach, waist and hips. I needed that little bit of help to get rid of the excess. After the procedure I couldn’t believe the difference I had a flat stomach and no more wobbly bits. I have so much more confidence as I look and feel better in my clothes and don’t have to hold in my stomach. I’m glad I had the procedure I definately wouldn’t turn back the clock. 

Thanks for the photos, I was shocked by what I saw.

WOW what a lot of fat. I keep telling myself I am never going to put that back on.

I am back in full training (running / biking) I have found my running has improved, because I’m not carrying all the extra fat.

Huge problem I had to buy new clothes as I’m down to a size 10. (What a shame)

What I really want to say is thank you for helping me make this happen.

You & the Liposuction has turned my life around it has given me so much confidence in myself that I feel that I can achieve anything.

Would I have more liposuction? Yes in a flash. I would highly recommend liposuction to anyone (male or female). Within two days I was back at work, within three days I was back at the gym. And within two weeks I was back running.

The worst part was the first night, but after that no worries.

I would like to thank you and all your staff for the wonderful service I received, everyone was so helpful. Thanks aren't enough for what you have given me. But I can't find the words

Having a consultation with Dr Ron was possibly one of the best decisions I could have made.

Not only does he treat his clients with care and respect, but he personally tailored a treatment plan to suit my needs.

Initially I had lost a bit of weight by exercising and eating healthy, but could'nt shift the extra fat that no amount of exercise would solve. I am also a type 1 diacbetic and it was important that my health needs were also addressed.I decided that I would have a consult for liposuction and see what Dr Ron could do for me.

I had liposuction performed in two stages. Firstly I had my upper and lower abdomen, waist and hips done. The results were amazing!! 6 weeks later I had my inner thighs and "saddlebags" done.

I healed in a matter of a couple of weeks with minimal swelling and no pain whatsoever! I am a registered surgical nurse and I know amazing treatment and results when i see them, the tumescent technique has benefits that far outweigh having a general anaesthetic, one being minimally invasive and almost nil risk.

Not only have I now got an amazing body but my confidence and self esteem is the best that it has ever been and I will be forever grateful to Dr Ron and his team. Anyone that is thinking of have liposuction... Dr Ron is the best!

From a guys perspective

I was unsure about having lipo as to me it was the sort of thing that vain Hollywood blondes do, not a Kiwi bloke. However it got to the stage where I would not go swimming or take my shirt off in the company of friends, I’d sneak out to the beach on my own to go for a swim. I got up the nerve to attend a preliminary discussion at Appearance Medicine and this gave me the confidence in the staff and with the procedure to go ahead. Six weeks later I went on holiday with friends in Australia, we went diving on the Great Barrier Reef, and were in and out of my mates pool and I felt great with it. I recommend lipo to all guys who feel like I did, it gives you confidence again. I shouldn’t have waited so long.

At the age of 49

At the age of 49 and having had two children, I was fed up with having a flubby tummy that I wasn't able to get rid of despite healthy eating and being physcially active. When I think back to when I was younger I have always had a little belly. I did sit ups every night and had strong muscles in there somewhere and when I dieted I would loose weight everywhere else but the tum. I always maintained a size 10 but had the issue with that muffin look over top of the jeans, and loved to wear a bikini but didn't really feel my best when I did.

From first talking about having liposculpture with my husband, it took me about 6 months to finally decide to go ahead with it. I went through the guilts about having it done as I did have an ok figure, and I have some friends who are big girls so of course it just didn't seem fair - but then other friends of mine who were in the same situation as myself were so encouraging. I was really fortunate too that my husband was supportive - just because he knew my tummy had bugged me for years and he wanted me to do it for ME.

I did a lot of research on the internet and ended up approaching Dr Ron. My husband and I travelled to Auckland for our first consultation and came away feeling confident with the process, well advised of what to expect and very comfortable with Dr Ron and his staff. It was all go. I had the work done on a Saturday, felt pretty beaten up 2 days later but went back to work on the following Wednesday. Yes there was a lot of discomfort and bruising and you have to wear the corset for what seems forever but at the end of it all I was and still am extremely happy with the results. I had the procedure 8 months ago now and my tummy has softened up to feel like a normal tum. I have maintained the shape Dr Ron gave me through continuing my healthy eating and exercise habits. I love wearing a bikini now and can wear tight tops and slinky dresses without those control pants or holding my tummy in! 50 and Fabulous!

I love the results and recommend anyone else considering the procedure to just book it in and do it.
