Dana M. Goldberg M.D.

I'm only 2 weeks out after a face and neck lift, and although I'm still healing, I am extremely happy with my results. I look like a better version of myself. Dr Goldberg and her team are incredible, very kind and professional. They explained everything that I needed to know. I highly recommend Dr Goldberg to anyone that is considering cosmetic surgery. She truly is an excellent surgeon. I could not be happier with my outcome.

Surgery started at about 9am. Fully sedated. Had my abdomen, flank, and upper back bar area and axil vaser with jplasma. Procedure took 3hrs, recovery 2 hrs. I was very lightheaded and wasn’t able to leave. When got home straight to bed I had two drains put in. I was not able to walk to the bathroom so my daughter used a bed pan. It was a very tough night.

Excellent Surgery and Office Experience I am so happy I chose Dr. Goldberg and her amazing staff for my procedure! It could not have gone more smoothly. I felt very comfortable with them from the start, office was beautiful, the women were kind, friendly, extremely accommodating. Dr. Goldberg is FANTASTIC! So pleased, would not change a thing!

So it’s been several years that I first had Vaser lipo which my dr recommend because I was stupid complaining about a little tummy pouch I couldn’t get rid of. I was able to wear bikini but after vaser I couldn’t any more because of lumps yes I thinned our but it was not worth it. Had a revision but it was no help. Thousands of dollars down the drain. This year I was thinking if a TT spoke with my dr and she recommended jplasma with vaser lipo so here I go again. I hope it works. I am out money.

Update: Had lymphatic massage again today this is my 3rd massage, going again tomorrow too. I believe the massages have been helping alot, although this has been costly it is worth it. I am still swollen and bruised (abs, back, flank, axilla and even my mon pubis area). I would like to point out that I have researched this procedure for recovery time and each dr indicated recovery time 3 to 5 days, well that is not true at all at least not in my case. I cannot stress enough if anyone decides to do this the recovery time will vary, so be prepared to have plenty of time to recover (3 wks or longer). I will continue posting my recovery. The day after tomorrow I start my new job, I do hope that I can last the day and I hope that my binder is enough to cover my swelling mostly. I bought several dresses that just hang (very loose fitting) to hide my swelling. Oh, one thing I have been doing to assist with my swelling is drinking ginger tea, turmeric tea, eating pineapples, drink beet juice, and I found some arnica tea, so I am drinking that as well. I have also been putting arnica gel on my legs and abs and taking arnica tablets, I need all the help I can get. Last note, I have noticed that I have been suffering from headaches pretty much daily. At first I thought it was from not drinking coffee, so 2 days after surgery I starting my daily morning coffee consumption, however, I am still suffering from headaches which is not normal for me.

Update. So today I had deep tissue massage since my muscles were in shock from the procedure. Still swollen but I can move easily now. Still not wearing my old clothes since I am wearing compression garment with either the foam or faja tablet. I took pics but those wavy bumps are not gone. That’s was my sole purpose of doing this procedure. Dr told me it was going to help a lot. Lies I tell you. Look at my before pic no difference. I am hoping it will get better but honestly I don’t think it will. However I am only 3.5 weeks in so I am going to hope it will get better. It doesn’t have to perfect just a little better

Update. Yesterday the drain was taken out, I was so happy. But I am so very swollen all over. I was able to schedule a lymphatic message so around 5p I grove myself there. I must admit I was very nervous. The therapist was very gentle and kind. Since I was unable to lay on my side she could do massage on my back I have another appointment today so I am hoping I can lay on my side. So after the session I felt energetic, but I am cannot say enough how swollen I am. I also notice last night in bed that I was feeling a burning sensation on my insides at first I thought indigestion but ruled that out once my arm was feeling the having the same sensation. Well it doesn’t take a dr to tell me, well I did put foreign substance in my body therefore I concluded that my cells are not happy with me. I regret my decision in this in all my plastic surgery decisions (Breast implants, 3 lipo 2 of which were revisions). Anyway I have 3 days left before I start my new job and well I think it is going to be tough to get through the day let alone the week. ;(
