This journey began many years ago. I did tons of research and had many consults with other centers,…read morebut none of them compelled me to follow through. And then I researched Egrari and I'm so happy I did! My consultation was initially scheduled for November 2022, but as luck would have it, a cancellation came through and I was able to get in a few months earlier. Dr Egrari answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable, and was extremely knowledgeable. I made the decision right then and there to move forward with scheduling a surgery date. And yes, the wait is long, but IT IS WORTH IT! (I will say, I used the time to workout to strengthen my arms and legs and stay up on supplements in hopes to help with healing.) During that wait time they were communicative and provided me with information to help prepare me for surgery, and weeks prior to surgery, they walked me through, in great detail, what to expect. They were attentive and put my mind at ease. I am nearly 2 weeks post op (tummy tuck, lipo of flanks and inner thighs), and I can already tell that this girl is gonna look snatched (for those that don't know, that's a great thing)! I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the care and attentiveness I have been given throughout this journey and am excited for when I'm fully healed. Big thank you to Dr Egrari, Elle, Ariel, Madeline, Justine, Catherine and all the other wonderful humans that I've engaged with during this time.

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.

That kind of integrity is rare, and after more than two decades, I trust his judgment completely. He also always goes the extra mile for his patients.

To begin, I'll admit right out - I am not the standard customer, and I came to Athenix as a last hope in repairing another surgeon's fairly severe mistake in far over-liposuctioning my abdomen. Backstory: I had only wanted the 3"x2" area directly beneath my navel to be lipo'd, but they removed ALL fat between navel and groin, telling me it was to "feather" the desired area - and ended up only touching the original 3"x2" area on the right side. A second procedure was performed to try to correct the original area. After several years' battle, I was able to legally get my money back from the other large, well-known company (and therefore will not name names), but that didn't change the lumpy, uneven, scarred belly I'd been left with. My initial consultation at Athenix suggested Dr. John Bullis as a good possibility. His intro pargaraph on the website noted he "has an artistic eye and an ability to visualize each patient's aesthetic goals" - sounded like just what I needed in a surgeon. I met with Dr. Bullis and was immediately comfortable with him. He has a very warm manner, understanding and non-judgmental. He looked carefully at the area and tried to set my expectations accurately, but made sure that I knew there wasn't a guarantee he could fix the issues. He had some theories about why I was so dented and uneven, and they seemed sound. Dr. Bullis cautiously called the situation a "salvage mission", and said he would know more once he was actually in. I asked him if he honestly felt it'd be worth the money and pain and healing time to go forward with it, if he thought I had a decent chance. He paused to consider for a moment, then said yes, he did think he could make things better for me. I booked the appointment. I found out during the pre-op check-in that Dr. Bullis HAD dealt with fixing over-liposuctioning before, which made me even more comfortable. When I asked him why he didn't mention that at the initial consult, he explained that he likes to under-promise and over-perform - can't say I blame him, especially in this situation. He marked me with Sharpies - high areas in red and low divots in blue - and I was cleaned. I declined any medication other than antibiotics, so I was awake and alert for the procedure (as I had been both times the previous company operated on me). Everything went as expected while he lightly liposuctioned my inner thighs to harvest fat to inject into my abdomen. I don't have much fat on me to begin with, and I didn't want to be super bony; Dr. Bullis was careful and considerate there too, taking only about 200cc of fat cells. I had little discomfort and not much pain. He then began work on my abdomen, breaking up the scar tissue which he theorized correctly had been creating divots, and injecting fat specifically in those low areas he'd previously marked. Throughout the procedure, we listened to my favorite genres of music, and Dr. Bullis was charming - he went to grade school with Henry Rollins, and told me many stories that coincided with stories I'd heard Henry tell on spoken word CDs. How cool is that? :) Afterwards, I was bandaged, carefully placed into an overalls-like compression garment (which was actually pretty comfortable compared to the other company's ill-fitting wrap-thing which always rode up), and Dr. Bullis made sure I was functional and stable before I left. I had occasion to call him once after hours, to confirm that I could take a muscle spasm pill for an unrelated issue, and he was as friendly on the phone as could be. I was super attentive during healing, which only took about a THIRD of the time that the other company caused me, and I have had FANTASTIC results. While I can see there's still some mild something-not-quite-right about my abdomen, it's become so minor that I can wear bikinis again without feeling like everyone's staring at my lumps. I'm no longer obsessing about how ugly my once-beautiful stomach is. I call that pretty damned good! And as for my thighs, which had never been modified before - Dr. Bullis did such a terrific job that you can't even tell anything had been done. The tiny 1/4" insertion marks are still pinkish, but once they go white, I can finally forget this whole ordeal. The only negative thing I can say is that I wish I'd found Dr. Bullis first! He's truly everything I could want for in a surgeon - or in anyone who I'm trusting to permanently modify my body. I've already recommended him to a friend (who lost a lot of weight a few years ago and will be getting a massive circumferential tummy tuck) and I'd send anyone else I know to Dr. Bullis in a heartbeat. If you're considering Athenix and Dr. John Bullis - please take my review as a very, VERY strong suggestion to put your trust in his hands. I'm so glad I did. :) PS - All of the nurses and counterstaff were just as friendly and caring. I really feel like I was treated exactly as I'd want to be, especially when I was SO vulnerable, and that's rare these days. read more

I am going on 4 weeks post-op at Athenix in Bellevue Wa. I have had a Belt Lipectomy with FDL and Muscle Repair with Gavin Dry. Dr Dry's work is stellar, his explanation of expectations was real, and his work is impeccable. I am very pleased with the surgical care I received. But I want to use this opportunity to give a review of the staff that supports Dr. Dry. The first time I came to Athenix was with a family member when they came for a consultation. The initial intake was thorough and informative, and we never felt rushed. It can be an embarrassing situation to expose that much of yourself to someone, especially when you are unhappy with some physical parts of your body; but the consulting staff were so kind and grounded that it put us at ease. We never felt rushed, and my family member also made follow up calls for some clarifications and received all the information they needed. I was already booked somewhere else for my procedure, but decided to also consult at Athenix. It was pricier, but also local to me so I would not have the expense and concern of travel. My consultation was with a different intake professional, and I experienced the same superior level of care. These folks are so educated and helpful, and I appreciated the time that I got to spend asking questions. I changed my surgery to this practice because of these interactions. The scheduling and front desk staff are top notch. They are very responsive to answering questions and the surgical scheduling folks were great! I have had to nudge some of my appointments, and schedule some more last minute when drains were ready to be removed, and they helped me navigate my calendar. After every appointment, I also stop to chit chat for a moment at the front desk, and they are funny and smart women who give great tips with compression and the like, and commiserated with me on some of the more difficult bits of post-op care. The day of the procedure itself is a bit hazy in my memory, but my nurse at the start of the day was funny enough and helpful enough to keep me feeling safe and secure. It always amazes me when people are intuitive and know what the patient needs to put them at their ease. The anesthesiologist came in and we chatted for a bit and I felt confident in his ability to monitor me and keep me at the right level of out-of-it-ness without complications. The morning of surgery after I was in the surgical suite and being prepped, one of the kindest humans patted my hand and told me everything was going to be alright right before the anesthesia kicked in; that made the morning. And finally, the nursing staff. The nurse that called and did my intake and pre-op info was thorough and informed, and was able to help me figure out when to discontinue some meds, what was fine, and helped me plan out the couple weeks prior to procedure. My follow up appointments with the nursing staff has been gentle and informative, and they have monitored my progress and been attentive to all my concerns. I was given advice and explanation when i bought the wrong type of tape, got tips and tricks for compression and garments, and been guided through my post operative care with complete professionalism. I am very purposefully not calling out each of these folks by name, because together they have provided the care and kindness of family, and I would hate to have missed a single person that has been part of my surgery and follow up. I have my next procedure already booked, thanks to Dr Dry and his entire staff. read more

I am writing to share my experience at Athenix Plastic Surgery, which I regretfully describe as disappointing. After undergoing liposuction at their facility, Dr. Dragotti was my surgeon, I found myself dissatisfied with the results and frustrated by the level of customer service provided. (I have this indentation on one side of my stomach which looks a lot like contour deformity). First and foremost, I advise anyone considering cosmetic surgery to avoid scheduling procedures too close to significant personal events, like a wedding. These surgeries require adequate recovery time, and the stress of potential complications can overshadow what should be a joyous occasion. My choice to proceed with Athenix, unfortunately, led to several issues that have since influenced my views on their practice. Post-surgery communication was severely lacking. After experiencing concerns a few months following the procedure, I attempted to reach out for a follow-up, but my inquiries went unanswered. Even after returning from my honeymoon, it took considerable persistence to schedule an appointment. When I finally managed to do so, I received a call two hours before my scheduled time, asking if I could arrive earlier due to a change in the doctor's schedule. Frustrated but I was willing to accommodate, they strongly advised that I reschedule anyway since 1 hour is too long of a wait for them (mind you I live about 1 hour away and that is with me quickly getting dressed and to rushed out so I can make it there asap). Eventually, the practice manager, Abbey, gave me a call about a week later. She expressed her intent to improve my experience moving forward. However, during the follow-up visit, I felt belittled rather than supported. The doctor mentioned he was willing to perform a revision, but Abbey seemed to imply that the issues I was experiencing could stem from my weight gain or clothing choices, ultimately shifting blame onto me. Her comments caused me to question the ethical framework of their practice, as I felt discouraged and dismissed. To add to the discouragement, Abbey quoted me $3,000 for the revision, and in order to move forward with it, I must lose 7-8lbs, back to the weight that I was in pre surgery, and I have about 3 months to do that before the offer expires. Abbey made me feel like just another number among many patients, further compounding my disappointment. After careful consideration, I ultimately decided against returning for the revision. The treatment I received did not instill confidence in the facility's ability to address my concerns appropriately. Instead, I sought liposuction from another reputable facility (for another area) where I experienced exceptional patient care and am now pleased with my results. I am considering getting my stomach liposuction revision here some time in the near future also. I strongly recommend that anyone contemplating cosmetic procedures thoroughly research their options and choose a facility that prioritizes patient care over profit. My experience at Athenix has taught me the importance of feeling valued as a patient. I wish all prospective patients considering this facility the best of luck, but I would encourage you to explore other options before making a decision. read more

Though I went to Athenix Bellevue to improve and feel better about my exterior, from first contact, I felt good on the inside. Leslie, the patient coordinator, was fully present and attentive to me as an individual. She listened, empathized and supported me as I navigated choices only I could make. As someone harboring a lifetime of body image issues, I was accustomed to hiding the body about which I was ashamed. In my mind, the thought of setting aside my protective barrier and asking someone to confirm everything I believed was ugly about myself terrified me. Leslie was infinitely patient, kind, and loving. I felt she was completely invested in my comfort and not just gaining a client. Thanks to Leslie, I made the appointment to meet with Dr. Bullis. When I met Dr. Bullis, I immediately felt the blessing of his warmth and authenticity. In addition to giving me hope and helping me continue to feel safe, Dr. Bullis made me feel accepted rather than flawed. He shared his artist's view of what could be done without triggering my self-deprecating inner critic. He was kind before, during, and following the procedure. I traveled from another state for the procedure because he is one of the few people I found qualified to do it. As a result, the procedure was done on Friday and the follow up appointment was scheduled for Monday morning. Dr. Bullis called me on Saturday to see how I was and to answer any question I may have had. I was both surprised and grateful that the doctor took the time to call me himself. It reaffirmed my feeling that just because I was out of sight didn't mean I was out of mind. He also provided me with his cell phone number so I could call if any questions or concerns arose. On Monday when I arrived for my appointment, everyone in the office greeted me with genuine warmth. I loved it! Just before going in for my appointment, I received an emergency call. I quickly spoke with Leslie and she urged me to take care of my needs and let her know what she could do. She assured me she would accommodate my need for an appointment as soon as I knew my personal situation. True to her word, Leslie made a spot for me the next morning. What I discovered when I arrived on Tuesday is that Dr. Bullis made time in his schedule to see me before he started his already scheduled day. I don't know many people who go to the lengths Leslie and Dr. Bullis did for me. I can't say enough about how their kindness and integrity has blessed me. The standard of personal and professional congruence that comes through them is second to none and is deeply appreciated by me. I cannot recommend the wonderful people at Athenix, Bellevue--both in terms of kindness and talent--with any greater enthusiasm. Although I'm only days out from my procedure, I feel completely satisfied with and excited by Dr. Bullis's artistry. From the bottom of my heart, I would tell anyone interested in having a procedure to take a trip to Bellevue, Washington. I promise, you will be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. read more

From the moment I walked into the office i knew I was in the right place. I was greeted with friendly smiling faces. The girls in the front were inviting and sweet, my consult with Elle made me feel seen, heard & so comfortable in what I thought was going to be a very uncomfortable experience. The shame I carried with weight gain & loss, the embarrassment of my loose skin, and then getting naked... wooo. Roller coaster of emotions. I was met with understanding, compassion & empathy. she did nothing but lift me up & remind me I did the hard work, they will now help me uncover & see the results for myself. My skin was hiding my hard work & I felt like I would never be happy in my own skin. First I wanted to lose weight & be smaller. I was not prepared for the loose skin that came with it. Elle and Dr Dry made me feel so comfortable. Dry Drys bedside manner is top notch!! He also is a Weightloss patient & completely got where I was coming from. I can go on and on about why to say YESS YESSS YESS to this team. They care, they are with you from start to finish, you're not just a number. They are invested to help. They helped me figure out caregiving, & financing. They made it affordable with monthly financing options. Had I known this was an option I would have done this years ago!! *** The biggest take away, they gave me something back that I didn't think I would ever find. My spark, my confidence, and to no longer feel like a prisoner in my own body. Looking in the mirror now, I can truly LOVE LOVE LOVE not just my reflection but myself again. I didn't fully grasp the weight of the shame I was carrying because of my loose skin. While he physically removed 10 pounds of skin, he also helped me shed years of hurt and shame on an emotional level. I recently celebrated my 40th birthday with a vacation, and for the first time, I felt completely at ease in a bikini, without worrying about my loose skin or how others might perceive me. In the past, wearing a bikini would trigger a lot of insecure thoughts, but this time was different. After my surgery, I embraced the moment and enjoyed being with the people I love, rather than focusing on hiding anything. The freedom from negative self-talk and my own mind? It feels priceless to me. If this review can help anyone decide to choose YOU, then absolutely do it--again and again! It's an investment in yourself, and you are worth it; you deserve to be a priority. I feel happier, and my sister even said I seem to shine brighter and glow. Don't let anything hold you back--choose yourself! Thank you Dr Dry & Athenix!! I appreciate your team & LOVE MY RESULTS!! read more

I have to give a review about my recent breast life and augmentation. I have wanted this procedure for the last 10 years and I was finally in a position where this was a possibility for me. I did my research online first and decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dry at Athenix Body Sculpting. Every single part of my experience was top notch. From the initial scheduling of my consult and all the way through my post-op appointments; everything has been handled with amazing customer service. During my first consultation, I met with a very sweet woman who took her time with me and made trying on several different implants fun! I was given all the financial information along with some information on the procedure and Dr. Dry. When I decided that Athenix was the place for me, I called and scheduled my surgery. The entire process was so smooth! When I went in for my pre-op, I met with Dr. Dry and he was awesome. He sat down with me and made eye contact with me. He listened to me, he asked me questions. I never felt rushed or awkward. He is so professional and kind and knowledgeable. He was very honest with me about my expectations and how the procedure would be performed. I left feeling extremely excited and so optimistic about my procedure. I let Dr. Dry know what I wanted and what I did not want, but I also trusted his expertise. The day of my surgery was actually amazing. I was so nervous going in, but I was made to feel at complete ease. All the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and of course, Dr. Dry made me feel perfectly safe and comfortable. When I woke up from surgery, I felt great! Of course I was tired, but I did not feel any pain. My recovery went very smooth, and when I had a concern, I was able to text and send pictures right from home. It made me feel really taken care of. I am beyond thrilled with my results! Dr. Dry is a master at his craft. What he was able to do for my body was nothing short of a miracle. I am so happy with my results. Every post-op, every phone call, every email is always answered right away and with complete professionalism. I would highly recommend Athenix for any change you are considering. It has been life changing for me and I will forever be so thankful! Dr. Dry is the best! read more

For those that know me, I love the hidden gems in life. And, Athenix Body Sculpting is definitely one of them. As you can tell I'm not a big person. I work out regularly but my thighs were simply not cooperating anymore. I only had my outer thighs done, aka saddlebags, because everything else is ok. I literally couldn't be happier about my results. I'd give a 6th star if that was possible! I had the micro body contour done. It required 1 treatment and I was able to go back to work in a couple of days. For me it wasn't painful at all. There was no bruising or excessive swelling or anything like that. I also didn't want traditional liposuction because I had a friend who that done 2 years ago and she was in major pain and bruised like a banana for weeks! The micro procedure I had was very gentle and less invasive than regular liposuction. I love the way my lower half looks now. To be honest, I got to the point where I didn't like getting dressed in the morning and seeing my legs in the mirror and God forbid myself from behind! I avoided wearing dresses above the knees and shorts; this was no way to live. I have a trip planned to Italy this summer and I'm looking forward to wearing a cute new swimsuit without being self conscious. I'm definitely not a cosmetic surgery queen or anything close to that, so I did struggle with the idea of getting something like this done, but I'm glad I did it. I thought the cost was very reasonable also, around $4,500 which was much less than another liposuction doctor I met with. My doctor at Athenix was the sweetest, most caring woman in the world with a great understanding of how a woman feels and wants to look. During my consultation with her I felt she was honest and realistic with me about the results she could achieve for me. Athenix is definitely a hidden gem! read more

I am a very active working mother of two and I do my best to keep in shape, but even after hiring a personal trainer and pushing myself I was not seeing the changes in my body that I wanted. I wanted to look trimmer in my thighs and around my waist so I decided to look into Micro Body contouring after talking with a friend. I did a lot of research on micro body contouring before contacting Athenix and before choosing my doctor. From my very first contact with Athenix which was over the phone I knew this company was nothing but professional. My consultation was with Elle and she was great, I had a long list of questions and she went over everyone in detail and I left there feeling very confidant in my decision to move forward in scheduling my surgery with Dr. Precht. I had my first micro performed on my thighs inner & outer and my flanks in 2013, I had my surgery on a Thursday and was back to work full time on Monday. I was slightly uncomfortable and sore with moderate bruising, however by week two I was back at the gym and feeling like myself again. I am very happy with my results, my clothes fit looser and I even feel confidant enough to wear skinny jeans for the first time ever. Everyone at Athenix from Toccara to the Dr. Precht were amazing to work with, I always felt comfortable and very confidant through the whole process. Recently I decided to schedule a follow up surgery on a very small area I was not happy with Dr. Precht was very understanding and completely willing to work with me to make he completely happy and I also decided to have my mid and upper stomach done at the same time. So far I'm very pleased with my results and looking forward to healing totally up before summer and swimsuit weather. read more

I had my breast augmentation procedure with Dr. Dhaliwal and I couldn't be happier with my results. First of all, I was extremely nervous about the procedure since this was my first surgery, but as soon as I met Dr. Dhaliwal my nervousness was gone; he was so kind, comforting, and made me feel at ease during my consultation. I decided to get a breast augmentation because I was unhappy with the size of my breasts, and wanted them larger. He did a great job asking me about my concerns and the look I was hoping to achieve. I showed him a picture of results similar to what I wanted, and he gave me EXACTLY, if not better results than what I showed him. He also was very professional in terms of details of the procedures, his concerns, and was honest about possible complications that are associated with surgeries of this sort, and I appreciated that. Dr. Dhaliwal and the nurses provided amazing patient care and guided me through every step of my recovery process; it really showed me how much they care about their patient's well-being. Athenix also has the finest staff! I visited several different locations before arriving at Athenix and none of the staff at the other locations compare to staff at Athenix. Elle, Tocarra and the other girls were extremely welcoming and were so kind to share their personal stories with me during my consultation. I also bombarded them with so many phone calls asking questions and the girls were wonderful when it came to answering my questions and returning my calls every time. A big THANK YOU to Dr. Dhaliwal and the staff at Athenix, I would give you guys 10 stars If I could :-) read more

I'm just about to turn 46 years old, and for the past 25 years, I've had well over 20 plus surgeries and none of them were cosmetic. In fact, a few of them were to save my life. I knew at some point when I was ready and able, It was finally going to be my turn....and that's when I found Athenix! From the moment I walked into Athenix, I was greeted with beautiful smiles and kind hearts! I was blessed with a staff that cared about how I was doing with my recovery. They walked through every single step of this process with me, and are still doing so today! If I felt emotional about my recovery in any way, they were right there to share their own journey, and then continued to walk through mine with me. Out of all the surgeries that I've had, I've NEVER had a staff with such wonderful bedside manner like at Athenix, and to me that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! To top it off, I have an OUTSTANDING Surgeon, and his name is Dr. Parikh! As soon as I met him I was at ease, which may I say, is a good thing considering I had to disrobe as soon as he said hello! As I continue to heal up, Dr. Parikh has been there at my appointments to make sure that everything is healing up nicely and that I'm happy with how things look. If I had or even still have questions and/or concerns, he's been right there to give me answers and has taken the time to make sure that I'm okay! I've appreciated that Dr. Parikh has walked through this journey with me, as well as literally each and every person working there! I love Athenix and thank them for being here with me, and look forward to what's ahead! read more

Jessica is Wonder Woman with a wand! She also has the intrinsic eye for the whole body. I initially booked a Vela appointment hoping to find some help with horrible constricting scar tissue. She evaluated me and knew that Vela would help but the damage I had would need additional assistance. She booked me a consultation with Dr. Bullis (read my first review for him) and then Jessica booked my post op Velas. After the first procedure to break up thick plates of scar tissue (over an inch thick and many inches long, Jessica began expertly treating the areas. She is a master in her field. She was able to get me to maximum benefit through 10 intense treatments. Each time with patience, skill, caring and using her knowledge of the tissue. After just the first 3 treatments I had regained so much range of motion I had previously lost. After the the last even the horrible discoloration and mottled appearance of my skin was barely noticeable. I could wear shorts and dresses above the knee again! I have had my second (and we think last) reconstructive surgery and I am back in Jessica's expert hands. I'm certain I will have even more ROM, normal function and normal appearing skin after she has completed this series. It is certain to me that without Jessica's knowledge and keen eye I would still be struggling with daily living tasks, missing all of my normal and daily exercise and feeling mortified every time I saw my damaged body. It's a true gift to be able to like the skin you're in again. read more

One month post-op and beyond thrilled with the results!!! The staff at Athenix were welcoming and made me feel extremely comfortable beginning with my first consultation. I had lots of questions and they were wonderful, kind and patient. Customer service seems to be a top priority for Athenix and they do it well. I was blessed to have Dr. Precht as my surgeon. Her attention to detail and her desire for perfection combined to produce exceptional results for me. I expected a follow-up call from a nurse a couple of days after the procedure and was surprised when the call came from Dr. Precht. I had upper, middle and lower abdomen as well as hips done and my recovery went so well I was back to work in three days and back at the gym in seven. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and I believe following the post-op directions faithfully played a big part in my swift recovery. I was one of those people who regardless of how much I dieted or exercised I could not get rid of my love handles and muffin top. I noticed a big difference right after the procedure and I'm told I can expect the results to get even better over the next few months. I would recommend Athenix to anyone. There was no sales pitch or pressure to purchase other products or procedures. A big thank you to Dr. Precht and the staff at Athenix for making this a very rewarding experience. read more

After having 2 babies I struggled with what had become of my body. My husband and I discussed a breast lift but I was nervous to do something that would permanently change by body especially once I learned that to get the best results you needed to have implants with a lift. After being referred to Athenix and meeting with Dr. Dry I felt confident that he understood my goals around the end result of the surgery. I trusted his calculated approach to looking at your body as a whole and knowing esthetically what would look good so much that when I went in for the surgery I left it all up to him to decide what size implant to use. I could not be more thrilled! I am now 4 weeks post-surgery and the results are fantastic! He made them perfect again, full of life and exactly the size I had hoped for. No one knows I had the surgery because he did exactly what I asked for which was to make it look natural on me and give me back that pre-baby lift and volume. The staff at Athenix was friendly, knowledgeable and always made me feel comfortable in what can most definitely be an uncomfortable situation! Before deciding on Athenix I compared their price and level of service with other Bellevue surgeons and found comfort in knowing I was making the right decision. read more

Athenix Body Sculpting in Bellevue, WA did a great job in all aspects of my procedure: from the consulation and all the way through the follow up visits after surgery. My first visit I was nervous about being there and their staff was warm, inviting and knowledgeable about all procedures. Dr. Dhaliwal set my mind at ease when I met with him regarding my breast augmentation and my recovery (I was nervous about taking time off from working out). I am an avid runner, weight lifter, cross fit and all around active - I had concerns about having the surgery. Dr Dhaliwal and staff helped me know the facts of the surgery, the recovery and what to expect. I was well prepared and ready! I am 5'6" and 140lbs and I went from a 32A to a 32DD and I love it (although I thought it would be too big, it is perfect!)! I have self confidence when I am wearing a sports bra, t-shirt, tank top, etc. I feel like I have all the RIGHT curves, which makes me feel feminine in myself and my clothing. After the surgery if I ever had a question about how I was feeling or how I was healing, the Athenix staff was always available to answer my questions. It was a great experience and I recommend making your consulation with Dr. Dhaliwal of Athenix because they are outstanding! read more

The staff here is amazing! I had a breast augmentation 12/30/13 with Dr Dhaliwhal, and it went very smoothly. For my consult I saw Elle, and she was the best. She had just had a breast augmentation, and she was willing to share her experience, and put my mind at ease about my choices for what I wanted. I love that they genuinely care about what you want, and convey a realistic outcome, and are willing to tell you what will and won't work for you specifically.The Nurse anesthetist called me the day before to discuss anesthesia, and postop pain expectations and medications, which I thought was great! The day of the Surgery went off without a hitch, and everyone there made me feel confident in their abilities, they were ready to roll when I arrived which I loved because I am a stickler for timelyness. I met with Dr Dhaliwhal prior to the procedure to go over the treatment plan, and verify sizes, and I went into the OR at ease and comfortable. Everything went well, and I was on my way. The postop pain was very managable, and I only needed the medication for the first day and a half. I had my surgery on a Monday and I was back to work by Thursday. So all in all, I would reccomend them to anyone interested in getting a breast augmentation. read more

I was so scared to get a consult because 10 years prior I had a consult elsewhere and it was not comforting or relaxing. So first off, thank you to the amazing Athenix consulting staff (Elle) as you put me at ease and helped me decide on what I did need and was honest about what I didn't need. Met for pre-op Nichole and Dr. Dry were so patient to really make sure I understood and answered all my questions. No going to lie; surgery day came and I was nervous. But Melissa helped make me feel so much at ease! Then I had surgery (tummy tuck, augmentation, lipo) and I'm here to tell you this place rocks for patient care! Called to check on me, talked to my family, DR Dry even made sure we had his cell number just to ask questions! The nurses Nichole and Melissa were more then amazing with all my questions and I just felt like I had a little family at Athenix who truly cared about my well being! So yes I'm very thankful for the way my surgery changed me. I would recommend Athenix and Dr Dry anytime to anyone if you want ABOVE EXCELLENT care and results! The best customer service from the front sweet gals too. They so made my appointments fun and laughable! Thank you all again for making me a new woman and taking such great care!! read more

If I could shout this review from the rooftops for everyone to hear, I'd do it loud & proud. Every single part of my experience with Athenix couldn't have been more perfect. From the very first virtual consult, I felt completely comfortable. They communicated with me thoroughly through every single step leading up to surgery. All of my pre-op checklist tasks went so smoothly because they are truly a well oiled machine with systems to ensure everything flows flawlessly. There wasn't a single detail that they didn't prepare me for. I felt completely confident and ready walking into my surgery. They gave me clear expectations and then absolutely OVER DELIVERED. I dreamed of my excess skin being removed, but the body that they gave me far surpassed my wildest dreams. Dr. Dry is a perfectionist in the best way possible. He removed 15.1 lbs of excess skin during my 360 Body Lift. Thanks to Athenix, I can genuinely say that I love my body. My life changed the day that Athenix walked into it. The entire staff went above & beyond to give me exactly what I wanted. Their passion for helping people change their lives shined through (even with their masks on). If you're considering plastic surgery, CALL ATHENIX. You will not regret it. read more

Experience of a life time!!! My husband and I went into this process with little knowledge of the process and the adverse effects. We did some reviews and research about the process. We consulted a few places but settled with Athenix in Bellevue... Our experience fro the moment we entered the office was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and professional. We were given all the information we needed including cost and options for the procedure... I must say it was a great experience and Dr. Lisa Precht was pleasant and did an incredible job on the procedure. She was so gentle, considerate and professional. She went out of her way to spend more time and efforts on the procedure. We are most grateful and love Dr. Precht. We were out in a few hours and headed home. The whole experience was amazing and I was up and running within a week. My body feels so great and I look so young my husband cannot keep his hands off me! Word of warning follow Dr. Advice and do not rush to remove the padding as you can easily faint the first time you get out of bed to change your dressings... We are so appreciative to Dr. Lisa Precht and all the staff... We recommend them to anyone... Happily ever after - in Everett WA read more

About 2 Months ago I surfed the web for a good Doctor that would be able to do the work that Dr. Bullis did for me. My friend kept insisting and telling me to go see her doctor, but I was not too happy with her result's. My friend went to the doctor that had been like the family dr. for years. She got her tummy tuck, lipo and her breast done. I was not to happy with her results cause she had got the old procedure done. The down time for recovery was over a month close to 2 months, to the point that she was hunched down and was unable to stand strait and using a walker. I It's been 1 month since my surgery, my down time was less than a week. I was up and walking with in two days and doing my daily errands. I got a tummy tuck and body-jet lipo and a new belly button No bruising or nasty scars. I'm so happy with my results. I have a flat tummy (no more Muffing Top!!) and very pretty belly button that looks like I had nothing done to it. No nasty ring scar on my belly button. So now my some of my friends asked me would u do it again? I said absolutely!! We only live once get it done wile you still can. Thanks Dr. Bullis you have a wonderful gift keep up the good work!

I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sowder on two different occasions. The first was years ago…read morewhen she was the plastic surgeon on call in the early morning of the day my son had been mauled by a dog. She not only did a beautiful job stitching up my son's injuries, she did everything in her power to bring him comfort and make his experience less stressful. She was able to calm two very anxious parents with thoughtful words and by reassuring us along the way. She explained everything she was doing to both our son and us so that everyone in the room was comfortable. Fast forward and years later I made a very personal decision to explant my breast implants. I was delighted when I discovered that Dr. Sowder was considered one of the top surgeons in the area for explant surgery. She was thoughtful and comprehensive during my initial appointment. She answered every question I had before I asked it and was totally willing and able to give me the exact experience and surgery I was requesting. Her staff was amazing, comforting and insightful on the day of my surgery. She and her anesthesiologist were willing to work with me to do the survey and recovery totally narcotic free. It is now her standard! It's wonderful seeing a doctor choose to change her practice for the better of her community! I have nothing but love and respect for everything she has done for me!

I'm about 9 months out from having liposuction (belly, flanks, and neck) with Dr. Sowder…read more I interviewed several surgeons in the Seattle area, and unfortunately there still seems to be something of a suspicion of men as cosmetic surgery patients. Most surgeons' web sites don't mention men at all. Many sites are vaguely suggestive of ads for feminine hygiene products and feature photographs of creamy-skinned women loping through spring fields and bonding chummily over coffee. It's like a big "keep out" sign for men. So, Dr. Sowder's blog and office page were a real breath of fresh air. The material is down to earth and informative, and she talks about men in a number of different contexts. In person, she's pretty much exactly who you'd expect her to be from reading her blog: friendly, pragmatic, and clear with her recommendations. A lot of folks do cosmetic procedures of one sort or another, but I wanted someone who 1) was board certified in plastic surgery, 2) had a background in academic medicine, 3) did face and neck procedures, and 4) seemed comfortable working on men. Those criteria narrowed the field down to just 2 or 3 people in the Seattle metro area. (Actually, that's true even if you consider #1 and #2 alone - people enter this industry through a lot of different paths, and board certification is not as common as you might assume.) Of course, credentials and demeanor don't mean diddly-squat if you're not happy with the actual work. Like other reviewers, I can only relate my own experience, and it's important to keep in mind that a variety of accessory factors affect the outcome. I think I was a particularly good candidate for the procedures I had, and I've been pretty good about exercising and eating well over the last couple of years, too. I'm hedging not because my results are equivocal but because they're actually absurdly good. Each area looks better than I had imagined possible. Of course, it's subjective: if you saw me on the street, you'd probably think, "Yeah, he looks OK for a middle-aged man." But from the inside, the experience has been really gratifying and transformative. It's surreal to find yourself suddenly living in a much nicer body. Just, please, don't go into Dr. Sowder's office and say, "I'm here because this random guy on Yelp said you'd make me look better than I ever imagined possible!" Two minor points: 1) I don't have the impression that pricing varies too much among providers, at least for the procedures I had. So don't be put off by Sowder's credentials. Her pricing seems quite competitive. 2) Sowder's office staff are excellent, and the office runs like a Swiss watch. All appointments were handled promptly, and the procedure itself was pretty much right on schedule. Again, this isn't necessarily a factor you'd put too much weight on a priori, but it's reflective of good management. And it does make the whole experience a lot smoother.

The ER surgeon who stitched up my face recommended Dr. Hutter and I'm so glad he did. Dr. Hutter performed the difficult surgery brilliantly. But, I had a bad reaction to the dissolvable stitches and my body formed cysts around the sutures that never dissolved, which created another webbing appearance in the corner of my eye. Dr. Hutter told me he wasn't sure if he was skilled enough to do a second procedure (due to the delicate area and sensitive skin). I then went to a so-called specialist in Bellevue and had an awful experience-- waited over an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment just to be seen by some junior level elitist doctor who pointed out other flaws that I didn't complain about and never even got to see the specialist. I trusted my gut and asked for another appointment with Dr. Hutter. Not only did he agree to do the surgery, he also did not have any coffee prior to the surgery (probably to ensure steadiness of his hand)! He successfully removed all the cysts and newly created webbing. He was definitely skilled enough. Dr. Hutter and his staff are amazing. Even though they're all highly educated and skilled, they're down to earth, personable, and fun. And I've never had to wait to be seen by them (unlike the pompous staff at that Bellevue plastic surgeon's office). Dr. Hutter and his staff value your time and take pride in their work and results. I highly recommend them.

I hoped and prayed that one day I'd fill out a little bit but it never happened. Once I turned 21 I realized my boobs were not magically going to grow, so I started doing some research for a great plastic surgeon who was also reasonably priced. I had actually gone to a couple of consultations to meet some other plastic surgeons and they were either stiff and not very welcoming, crazy prices, or they weren't willing to go as big as I wanted. I actually gave up and waited for another year. I was actually doing a photoshoot with one of my great friends and his ex wife and many of his models have gotten their boobs done by Dr. Mangubat. His ex wife and all of his models that went to Dr. Mangubat looked absolutely incredible. I made an appointment for consultation and they got me an available appt ASAP! Most places couldn't even get me in within the month and they weren't free. Not La Belle Vie! I got in less than a week after I called and was very excited. I went into my appointment anxious, excited, and very curious. I had lots of questions and Dr. Mangubat, the nurses, and even the woman at the front desk was very knowledgable and helpful. My consultation was very comfortable and relaxing. I didn't feel like I was in a cold emotionless Dr's office, it was very warm and welcoming and that's very important when you're looking to have a serious procedure done that can change your life very drastically. He was very light hearted and friendly and I also met with Dr. Hope Sherie and she was equally as amazing. They give you a bra to insert different sizes in and you can put your shirt on and see how you like it. I decided upon 775cc's because I felt like 700cc was too little and 800cc was a scary big number. This was the ONLY PS that was willing to accommodate my body type and the big size that I wanted - and I felt so happy that I could go so big the first time because I was only an A cup. I wasn't trying to get multiple surgeries and wanted to get the most bang for my buck. I was trying to get the procedure done before my 22nd birthday and I wanted to get the recovery out of the way ASAP, and much to my delight we scheduled my surgery just 3 days after my consultation! I'm very happy they had a cancellation. Dr Mangubat and Dr Hope Sherrie were also very helpful and tried to give me the best deal or offer that they had, and I was lucky enough to get the 1k off for the month of may (in 2013). The day of my surgery was just as amazing as my consultation and they were very sweet and gave me a Valium so I wasn't so nervous right before surgery. My anesthesiologist was also wonderful, he was so sweet and asking me about my tattoos and calming my nerves. Before I knew it (my procedure was only 45 min - an hour) I woke up with boobs! i was in a horrible amount of pain but Dr Mangubat was so sweet and made sure I was in no pain before I left. I highly recommend him and La Belle Vie cosmetics to everybody!

Results were not as promised. I would never recommend him. I had 4 transplants with him and he…read moredid not place the plugs in himself. He would use his assistants who are health professionals but just helpers. The hair transplants did very little and I believe it was because he had incompetent and unqualified people to place the plugs into my scalp.
