liv Plastic Surgery by Dr. Andrew Ress

I recently used Dr. Ress for some cosmetic procedures and I cannot say enough amazing things about him and the entire team at Liv Plastic Surgery. They were able to get me in promptly for a consultation where Dr. Ress listened to what I was looking for, answered all questions, and was honest in what he could achieve and what to expect. They also let me know that they are always available to answer any and all questions, which they did any time I had additional questions. They all had amazing bedside manner and I am so happy with my results. It is everything I was looking for and I highly recommend him. It was such a wonderful process with this team.

Dr. Ress and his entire team are exceptional. From the very beginning, they’ve shown genuine care and attention, and even more than six months later, they continue to address all my concerns and needs. They're also incredibly easy to reach, available 24/7. If you're looking for a compassionate team and top-notch results, I highly recommend Dr. Ress and his office!

To celebrate my 60th Birthday, I decided to find out what I could do to be more beautiful and of course, sexy. I went to see Dr. Andrew Ress for a consultation about what's available on the market to enhance beauty. It was an eye-opening experience and I left happy I was introduced to the options. Dr. Ress explained what to do with the skin above my eyes and how a less invasive procedure can be used for below the eyes that involves laser. The staff at his office was helpful and patient and I appreciated that.

So after over 4 years since the initial liposuction procedure I’ve come to the conclusion that it was not worth it for me. Basically my worst fear has been realized that my face looks worse now than it did before due to the unevenness of the result and the 2.5 inch scar I have from the second procedure. After the initial surgery it was obvious that the left side of my sub mental area was much fuller than the other. I went to about half a dozen follow up appointments where I was told it was from post op swelling, fluid rentention and finally scar tissue. After being told it was due to weight gain, I asked the dr to look at my progress photos showing my left side has been fuller since the initial surgery. At that point he gave me a cortisone injection which didn’t help at all. After a year of follow ups and wearing a compression garment for at least 12 hours a day I was finally told I needed another procedure to remove scar tissue on the left side. Although I was afraid of having another procedure especially with the same doctor, I ultimately agreed since it was the only way I would have a chance at getting the result I wanted without having to pay for a whole new procedure with a new doctor, which I couldn’t afford. I assumed the procedure would be like the initial one and wasn’t told anything to the contrary, but I was wrong. Instead of having the small half inch scars I had during the initial procedure, I had a two and a half inch scar across the entirety of my chin. This wasn’t mentioned to me in the office but rather I realized it when I removed the bandages at home. I’m not sure which is worse, the fact that my left side was still substantially fuller than the right, or the large scar I’m left with that is still and probably always will be incredibly noticeable. When I brought my concerns to Dr. Ress’ attention a year and a half ago he told me the only solution was yet another procedure. I couldn’t bring myself to take another risk, so decided to wait it out and see it gets better. Well here we are 4.5 years later and its still the same. I also have little to no feeling on the left side and it will often start to feel swollen and hot randomly. I’m just heartbroken with this outcome. I spent money I shouldnt have and time in pain/recovery I’ll never get back. Dr. Ress was always nice and to his credit offered another procedure as a solution, but I can’t take the risk of it getting worse. To see my full journey and pictures I documented it on RealSelf username Jess_1018. Edited to add photos and also mention that within minutes of me posting the initial review Dr. Ress texted my personal phone (9:30pm) to threaten me with legal action if I didn’t remove the review. So there’s that as well.

It’s been 5 weeks since my facelift with Dr Ress. After many years of fighting breast cancer I was finally given a clean bill of health and started dieting and exercise to lose 100 pounds. The results were dramatic but at 65 years old, the sagging skin made me look 85 and I hoped that Dr Ress could help me. As a retired Registered Nurse, I was always impressed by Dr Ress attitude and kindness. Most doctors aren’t as caring and genuine as he is. He explains things and responds immediately to questions and concern's and I had plenty. . While I can say I’m still healing the results are impressive! I no longer have a neck that has skin folds that can touch and the contour of my face is sleek. Mostly the huge deep skin folds down either side of my nose are gone! All I can say is Dr Ress is an artist and his abilities as a surgeon have surpassed my hopes and expectation. Even the texture of my skin is a million times improved. My before and after pictures are astonishing. I am glad that Dr Ress is my surgeon and very honored to recommend him highly.
