My MD was Dr. Dean DeRoberts - he is based in Syracuse NY and also practiced in Jacksonville Florida, but I'm not sure if he still goes down to Florida in the winter...

I can't say enough good things about him! He was amazing as a surgeon and as a person.

When I was lying there getting ready for the surgery and the anesthesiologist (who was a little business as usual cold) was prepping me, all of a sudden Dr. DeRoberts looked over and must have seen I was freaking out a little and he stopped what he was doing, came over and just took my hand, squeezed it and smiled at me until I was all prepped. So to me that says something about him.

Plus he is exactly 1 day younger then me which is a funny coincidence.

But I am EXTREMELY happy with the results. If you haven't read my blog, he includes "extras". Like using a laser to reduce scarring free of charge. I had the full 360, and a lot of people who have end up with a REALLY flat butt - he took some of the fat from my back and turned it down into my butt and gave it some shape.

Thank you for the info. I recently came into some money, so I will travel any where in the world to get the best results. Your pictures are by far the best I have seen.
