    Dr Dragotti is a master. I still can't believe my results. He's super professional. He and the staff were so kind. They were available for all my post op concerns. I had minimal pain, and I was traveling for work after two weeks. My scars are healing beautifully. I had lipo and tummy tuck. If you're thinking about getting this done, I'd highly recommend athenix and Dr dragotti!

    Horrible experience!!I was just trying to get a consultation for skin removal and before even asking or knowing of background of the I just lost over 200 pounds and have lots of extra skin, they assumed I wasn't a good candidate because I was not under a certain weight again without meeting or seeing me and tried to sell me on a weight loss shots over text messages, so inappropriate.

    This is going to be a long review. Im about a month post op and just feel so happy with the results so far. My confidence is back. My energy is boosted to get out of the house and do more things. Didn't really realize how much I held myself back just from feeling uncomfortable with body. I had an extended tummy tuck and lipo on my back. I came in last year for consultation. Set my date for aug 25th 2022. Which gave me time to do research on post care and what supplies I will need for recovery. Yes they do give you a list and they also call you and let you know everything you need to do to prepare for your big day. Everyone that I interacted with was so nice, pleasant and caring. From consultation to post. Even when I called just to ask questions to make sure I'm doing everything right. So I came in for consultation for mommy makeover . Breast lift and tummy tuck. So I was so excited. I have always had love handles even before kids. My ex tried to kill me and ended up leaving me with a lot of scars and a crooked belly button thought it was unfix able so I gave up hope. I didn't really know what to expect. So I was still nerves to meet with the Dr. I met with Dr Dry weeks before my procedure date. I let him know that due to rainy days (gotta take care of kids and home first) I was unable to do the lift. So we are only doing Tummy tuck. He let me know what procedure would be the best for my body. Ended up deciding to do the extended tummy tuck which wraps around the back and gets rid of the muffin top love handles, a scar on my side and fixes my belly button. I was so excited. Dr Dry was super nice and I just felt like I was in good hands. Day of procedure!! Came in at 7. Was taken to the back to go over post op care with Anna. I think I was so nerves I felt like I was about to faint. But she took care of me. Dr Dry came in and did all his lines on me that he needed. And than off to the room and I was out. I just can't say enough how much I appreciate Dr Dry. Very thankful for him working with me from traditional TT to extended TT He went above and beyond what i asked of him. He really exceeded my expectations. I look great I feel great. Thanks to the whole team. Im still healing so I know it will only get better .

    In November 2021 I had my 360 Lower Body Lift (with Liposuction/Muscle Repair as well!) done after having lost 80 pounds on my own a couple years prior! They removed 10 lbs total off my body from front, sides, and low back/bum. Dr. Dry performed the procedure and I'm absolutely blown away by what they were able to do!! Each day the swelling goes down more and I can better see the results! As far as the work my surgeon was able to perform on me is nothing short of amazing; his attention to detail shows- my body looks and feels like everything I dreamed it might! My belly button is so cute, my scar is fading nicely, and I'm blown away with how good I feel with recovery so far! My experience was so good from start to finish at the actual facility: I felt so well taken care of, and never felt like there was anything I wasn't prepared for. All my questions were answered, and everything that happened during recovery I had expected because I'd been told before to expect by the nurses and my surgeon. When I got nervous prior to surgery day they also constantly reassured me that everything would go according to plan(which of course it did!). I just couldn't have asked for better staff! I'm so so happy with how my body looks and feels, I could never have imagined it looking the way it does!!! Worth every penny, and I'd do it all over again! I can't wait to see how it all looks in 8 months once I hit my year mark! I will 100% be returning to Athenix for any future procedures!

    Before/After MBC (Micro-Body Contouring Procedure)
    Jason F.

    My experience with Athenix (at the Seattle/Bellevue location) was nothing short of FIRST-RATE in every conceivable way imaginable. My first points of contact, Leslie (the Practice Manager) and Toccara (Assistant Manager), were warm, welcoming, and truly eager to help zero in on what my particular body concerns were, listen to my goal/s, and - with the help of my incredible surgeon, Dr. Gavin Dry, achieve them. My main area of interest was in their Micro-Body Contouring (MBC) procedure. I'm 5'7" with a naturally slender build, and had been concerned about the amount of increased fat around my stomach and flanks that I had gained, not just during the Covid pandemic, but also after 38 years of life in general. My normal weight is around 145-150 pounds. Pre-Athenix, I was at 160. For a guy who is naturally slender everywhere else, it felt odd to have that tummy fat and side fat. I felt, at a certain point, that those areas didn't "match the rest of me," and always knew I'd do something about it eventually. And in June of last year, I finally went for it. I had Micro-Body Contouring performed on my full upper and lower abdomen, flanks and lower back. On the day of surgery, I couldn't have been more pepped and excited; there had been some anticipatory build-up to that day, and it was cool to know it was finally happening, and I'd walk out of Athenix's offices - that day - a physically different person, with the kind of body I had more in mind for myself and one that I felt even more confident in. The entire support staff, from the nurses, assistants and my anesthesiologist, were similarly warm, welcoming and professional. They had just a perfect balance of bedside manner and playful humor that really helps keep your spirits up and in a positive zone for the day of my procedure. On a side note, this air of positivity and cheeriness pervades all areas of Athenix, from when you first walk in the door, to the consultation and examination rooms, through to OR and other areas. As far as the Bellevue location is concerned, I believe that is a direct result of the way Practice Manager Leslie Taylor runs "her ship," and the good energy really does flow from the top and down, to every single person who works there. It's kind of an unavoidable side-effect of just being a patient there -- and that's a good thing. All pre- and post-op procedures were followed by the team, and by myself, including the use of a compression garment, applying lymphatic massage, and applying a specialized (Arnica) gel to improve both the duration and results of recovery. At my initial consultation, I was told what told what to expect vis-a-vis these pre/post-op procedures, and what the overall recovery experience would be like, so I was prepared. And I'm happy to say, recovery really proceeded along without a hitch, with healing and results increasing and perfecting with every passing week. Which brings me to what a lot of potential patients might be wondering about most -- the results. To put it very simply, I could not (and can not!) have been happier. Dr. Gavin Dry has an incredible eye, attention to detail, deft skill when performing the MBC procedure, and equally important - he's a great listener with impeccable OR and bedside manner when engaging and working with his patients. His work, his expertise and care, helped craft a brand new me - that was, just as I had hoped, with a flat tummy and sides that "matched the rest of me." I couldn't be happier, more excited, or more grateful to Dr. Dry and the entire team at the Athenix location in Bellevue for what they've added to my life to boost my self-image and body-confidence. Body-confidence, self-image and self-esteem are critically important, whether you're a man or a woman, when it comes to considering a body-enhancing procedure. We can ALL benefit from that kind of confidence boost (who wouldn't???) and I'm so, so glad I chose Athenix!

    Loose skin after losing 125lbs on the left, and 8 weeks post op from a 360 body lift on the right

    After losing 125lbs on my own, in October 2022 I had a 360 body lift with muscle repair with Athenix as a recipient of their #AthenixGivesBack campaign. My surgeon, Dr. Dry, removed just over 9lbs total from my body (front abdomen, sides, and back) and repaired my abdominal muscles that were 6cm separated. I'm currently 8 weeks post op, and I'm blown away by my results. My front abdomen is so flat and my belly button is healing well. Going into the conversation with Athenix I thought a tummy tuck was all that I'd need. Athenix recommended the 360 body lift, and I'm so glad they did! In the end half of my loose skin that was removed came from my back--pulling up the skin on my outer thighs and on my butt too. I'm so incredibly happy with my results, and I'm so thankful for the Athenix team. My patient care coordinator, the nurses, anesthesiologist, my surgeon--everyone has been phenomenal to work with.

    The incision after only 10 days
    Danielle D.

    Honestly, the doctors and staff at Athenix in Bellevue are world class. I went to Dr. Dry to have excess skin/fat removed on my hips/thigh after I had disappointing results from a mommy makeover (done by a surgeon in Fort Worth, TX). From my first consult with Athenix to now everyone has been so incredibly helpful and supportive. Living in Texas, I was nervous to travel to Washington for surgery but the team at Athenix made all of the pre-surgery easy. The team was extremely communicative and they always answered all my questions quickly. I was impressed the day before surgery when the anesthesiologist contacted me and this made me feel much less anxious for my surgery day. Everyone was so kind the day of surgery and they've continued to be incredibly helpful post-surgery as well. Dr. Dry is simply in a league of his own when it comes to post-weight loss surgery. He is a true artist. After being disappointed in the results of my first surgery, I honestly didn't have high expectations for what was possible but what Dr. Dry was able to accomplish has been absolutely miraculous. He removed 5lbs of excess skin and fat from my lower body and the incision is already so incredibly thin and small (and healing well). Honestly, there's no other surgeon or surgical center out there that does the amazing work that Athenix does! They're simply the best.

    Lipo and bbl preformed by Dr. Dry. I'm still swollen.

    I had an arm lift by Dr. Egrari several months ago. I will start by saying his before and after…read morecare is amazing with great nurses that walk you through everything. During my consultation Dr. Egrari he told me he would also do liposuction (paying for it) to remove some extra fat from my arms but when I asked his nurses after surgery if liposuction had been done they told me it hadn't. My results were not anywhere near what I expected/desired. I was left with approximately two inches of loose/jiggly skin and my "after" looked like someone's " before photo." I was obviously very disappointed and upset after the money spent and the painful recovery. I discussed this with Dr. Egrari during my follow-up appointment. He basically gas lit me saying the results were proportionate to my body and that my arms looked better than before. When I lifted my arms and showed him the excess skin jiggling like a bat wing, he told me that even twelve year old's have arm jiggle. If Dr. Egrari would have validated my disappointment and acknowledged that the results weren't optimal I would have continued to have trust in him knowing this could potentially happen. Unfortunately, this didn't happen. He did tell me that we could meet in 6 months and if I was still unhappy we could discuss my options to see if I still felt I needed it, but doubling down that he stands by his opinion that my results were optimal. I'm not sure how extra time would solve anything, like in 6 months my arms would miraculously tighten up and the fat would disappear. I flew out of state to get a second opinion from a highly respected surgeon who told me that I had well over two inches of loose skin that still needed to be removed along with some additional fat that required liposuction. He also said as time went on the sagging would get even worse. I'm very upset that I have to pay for another surgery and start all over. While I believe Dr. Egrari does some things right (runs a safe practice with great before and after care) I believe his surgical approach is far too conservative resulting in a disappointing outcome.

    I was a longtime patient of Dr. Egrari, having undergone multiple procedures with him over the span…read moreof more than a decade. Our relationship was always friendly and professional, and I had no issues with his care until a complication arose that required a more nuanced and specialized approach. Years ago, Dr. Egrari selected textured anatomical (teardrop-shaped) breast implants for my augmentation. Unfortunately, these implants rotated in the existing pocket, creating noticeable asymmetry. I later learned from other surgeons that placing teardrop implants into an existing pocket is generally not recommended for precisely this reason. I brought this concern to Dr. Egrari's attention, but he didn't offer to correct the issue, and at the time, I wasn't eager to undergo another surgery. Years later, I learned that the implants in my body had been recalled due to their association with BIA-ALCL, a rare lymphoma linked to textured implants. By then, I had also developed two autoimmune conditions and became seriously concerned that the implants might be contributing to systemic inflammation. When I brought these concerns to Dr. Egrari, I was disappointed by his response. He was dismissive of Breast Implant Illness (BII), calling it "hysteria from women on Facebook," despite my sharing published studies from reputable sources like PubMed showing emerging evidence of a link between implants and autoimmune symptoms. I ultimately decided to remove the implants and placed a $1000 deposit when a cancellation became available. However, when I asked Dr. Egrari to confirm that he would perform a full capsulectomy (removal of the scar capsule around the implant), he declined, citing the potential risks due to capsule adhesion to the ribs. While I respect that decision, I chose instead to go to a specialist in explant surgery who was certified in microsurgical techniques and could guarantee full capsule removal--something advised for patients with autoimmune symptoms. I wrote a polite and respectful email explaining my concerns and decision to go with a specialist. Despite only holding the surgery slot for two days, Dr. Egrari retained my full deposit and shockingly banned me from his practice. While Dr. Egrari may be a skilled surgeon for routine procedures, my experience suggests that when problems arise, patients may be completely abandoned and met with petty, small minded, unprofessional conduct. Surgeons will often refer out to specialists but after years of loyalty, I was left stunned by how quickly all goodwill evaporated the moment I needed care that required a more specialized approach. It was a hurtful and revealing end to what had once been a trusting doctor-patient relationship.

    This review is specifically about my experience with injectables at this practice…read more After spending nearly $50,000 on surgical procedures, I was advised at my one-month postoperative visit that I needed additional Botox and filler. I was surprised by this recommendation given how recently I had undergone a coronal brow lift and facelift. At that visit, I was quoted approximately $1,200 for 100 units of Botox and $1,800 for Juvéderm. I ultimately received 55 units of Botox. The effects lasted about four weeks, significantly shorter than the three months I was told to expect. When I followed up about the shortened duration, I was given differing explanations -- first that it was due to my metabolism, and later that it may have been due to injection placement. No replacement units or refund were offered. Separately, I paid $3,600 for lip fat transfer that did not produce lasting results, and I was billed $1,800 for additional filler at one month post-op. During one lip injection visit, I informed the injector that I have pre-existing lip granulomas from prior filler years ago. The injection was uncomfortable, and when I expressed pain, I felt my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed professionally. Overall, I did not feel that my postoperative concerns were met with thoughtful reassessment. Instead, additional injectables were recommended early in the recovery period. I encourage patients to ask detailed questions about postoperative expectations, duration of injectable products, and refund policies before proceeding. Dr. Naficy's surgical consent states, "if a patient is dissatisfied, we will make a best effort to remediate." This statement is as far from the truth as it can get. Please share my review so other patients can avoid my very expensive mistake in judgement.

I am so glad I got to have this done. I am a woman who is just shy of 30 years old and have recently lost about 45 pounds, but had a stubborn double-chin. It was something that had bothered me since I was 10 years old, whether I was overweight or not. The first doctor I contacted (not Dr. Zemplenyi) said I should get submentalplasty -- that was a little too much of a production for me. Dr. Zemplenyi kept it simple and conservative and said I should do lipo first, but that I might have to come back if he didn't take enough off. I appreciated that Dr. Zemplenyi didn't push me to go for a bigger (and more expensive) procedure, but still informed me about the options. He also was the only one to tell me about potential risks - which luckily didn't happen to me - while the other doctor didn't say anything about that. So I also appreciated that he was honest. Dr. Zemplenyi is a quirky guy and he knows it, but I appreciated that he looked at my chin as if he were an artist. Every person's face is different and I felt like he was really trying to get the best result possible for MY face. PROCEDURE Ok so like I said, I had under-chin lipo. I chose to do it under what I think was mild sedation. I had painkillers but I was still awake. I remember him doing the procedure, but I felt calm. I didn't feel pain. I felt pressure and movement. Recovery was more involved than I thought it would be. It hurt. There was a fair amount of swelling but not a lot of bruising. I got this done on a Thursday, and took Friday and Monday off of work. I worked from home until the following Thursday. Be prepared to take it easy. I should also note that I don't respond well to opioids so I stuck with Tylenol and it was enough for me to keep it manageable. RESULTS I am SO HAPPY with my results. The sheer brain space I have freed up now that I no longer worry about my double-chin? Amazing. If you are on the fence, contact him for a consultation. It was less expensive than I was expecting and about half the price of the submentalplasty the other doctor suggested. I am 8 weeks out and have just a little bit of swelling left and a little bit of tenderness left. I wish I had done this years ago! I am glad I had Dr. Zemplenyi do this for me.

    Repeated administrative issues have made it difficult to stay with this practice…read more I've known people who have been to this clinic several times and have always been pleased with the medical staff and providers themselves. They seem very skilled and professional. Unfortunately, the front desk experience has become a recurring source of frustration, particularly in dealing with a young woman named Tess. I've encountered multiple scheduling mix-ups and communication errors over the past few months. Even after confirming details in advance, I've arrived for appointments only to be told something like my appointment wasn't scheduled properly. I've also received inconsistent information about pricing and scheduling policies, which creates unnecessary confusion. Beyond the logistics, there's often an unprofessional atmosphere at the front desk from this particular person. Casual conversations, distracted interactions, and little sense of urgency when issues arise. She seems absorbed in her phone for personal reasons, and clearly aloof. It doesn't match the professionalism of the medical team behind the scenes. If you choose this clinic, be aware that it's a clear gamble from the start. You might get the good quality staff, and everything goes smoothly. But you might end up with the poor quality staff, barring you from taking the first step appropriately, wasting your time and money before even getting to the consultation. It's disappointing, because this practice could truly stand out if the first point of contact reflected the same level of care and attention as the clinical staff. Until that changes, I'll likely look elsewhere for future procedures.
