Dear Dr. Bittner, Julian, and Trevor. Today is day three following the procedure. I am up and about, a little sore...but not bad. Dr. Bittner, I just wanted to add that from the moment I arrived at your office and was treated so warmly by Julina and then Michelle, I started to become relaxed. The procedure with Trevor was fantastic...although with the laughing gas I probably talked his head off. I am very happy with the procedure. Thank you for sending the photo fo my and you with all that fat. Please feel free to use this comment of your website should you desire. As a retired police sergeant I was skeptical..but not anymore...I recommend it to everyone.

Hello Dr. Bittner & Staff ~ Words of thanks to this amazing staff of people who on a Friday evening at the end of a long day/week - made it their effort to be cordial, kind, attentive, and friendly. From the reception area - where I was greeted with a warm and sincere hello - to the Dr's room where the liposculpure took place - I felt grateful to be in such good hands. The procedure was a breeze...an hour after having both inner & outer lipo, my husband, daughter, and I caught a bite to eat at a local steak house. The next morning we woke up on the early side and opted to catch some LA sights before our flight home to San Francisco . The recovery was faster than I ever expected it to be (thanks to the attentive staff, and detailed guidlines). Just a few days post procedure I was able to start up my yoga and dance classes at a local gym. The adit sites have all closed - and the best part about it is that my inner thighs no longer rub against each other when I walk (In just a few days something which has bothered me for years - is no longer a concern). Thank you all for a steller job! And for being so wonderful!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm feeling wonderful! The soreness is going away slowly but I'm still moving on! My procedure was only 3 days ago and I've been walking and on the treadmill and enjoying my visit with my son and his family! It (the procedure)really didn't inconvenience my stay at all. I have 3 other friends that are ready and waiting to see my results and they've had me o email pictures to them. One lives in Hawaii ,one in VA and the other is from TX. I am the ginny pig. And I have great news for them! I can already see a big difference! I'm so excited! And best of all, I'm looking forward to my 4 week look because that will be my 43rd birthday!! This was a gift to myself! I deserve it and I'm so happy I made the decision to go ahead and get it all done on one visit! (full abs,love handles and waist) Thanks for everything. Thanks for being so professional and not being persuasive. You gave your opinion and left it totally up to me. Great job guys!! Maybe I will come back for a follow-up visit when I come back to visit my son again. Thanks so much for changing my life!

Dr. Bittner, I just wanted to say you and your team are awesome! I didn't realize how simple and safe it can be during the procedure! Wow, there was no pain at all during the procedure. This already been my 3rd day and I already can see the difference on my area. Although I am still swollen, bruised, and numb.. I LOVE IT=) Thank you so much for being so sweet during my procedure, and makingme feel comfortable. You guys are amazingly wonderful!

Hello to everyone at your office. I had my upper and lower abs done. I must say Ilook very good and have went down 2 sizes in 6 weeks. I can not wait to have my second procedure done. I think Trevor did my procedure tell him I said great job and THANKS for keeping me calm and pain free. See you soon !!!!!!!!!

Dr. Bittner - forgive my delay in responding to both your wonderful email below with my new Hollywood Glamour Shot, and your message on my cell phone. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your concern & follow-up, not to mention the GORGEOUS new boobies I am slowly developing. Though bruised, I can already see the difference. I know I am going to be one happy camper without those old melons. You and your team were wonderful. I have already been talking you up to my friends. I told them all, "This is the ONLY place to go when you want to get sucked!!" :-) Seriously, though, thank you so much. I couldn't be happier!! Maybe I'll see you again in a few months for another area....you never know!

I'm feeling fine...no pain meds for two days now..I'm really not too sore...the most uncomfortable thing is the zipper on the garment at the bend of my hip when I sit down...the only bruising is in the bikini area..looks like I have on a pink/red bikini bottom...did start to swell on the fourth day...as expected...but still looking good....I must say my butt is bootilicious...LOL. My husband cried when he saw me the first time he thought I looked great......I now have five friends who want to come in the fall...remember I told you I was the guinea pig....thanks for your call I was on the plane, as you thought.... Whatever I had later worked because I knew nothing until the next morning....however my photo with you looks like I've been lost in Margaritaville for a few days.....Thanks and I'll keep in touch...

Dr. Bittner, That pic is hilarious! I look like a shrimp next to you. Haha, I guess I am a shrimp at under 4'11". Thank you for being so nice & I really appreciate your expertise in the art of Liposculpture. I felt very comfortable through my entire experience with you & your staff. Thank you for calling today to check on my recovery. I wish I hadn't missed your call. I would have told you I feel absolutely fantastic! I was sore the morning after my procedure, but it was very manageable with an over-the-counter pain reliever. I was running around the next day, just like I do everyday. I threw an all-day birthday party for my big, tough-guy, cop-boyfriend two days later & no one knew that I had any "work" done. I had a bit of bruising which is almost completely gone already. I will be calling your office to schedule my next procedure in a few weeks. Thank you again & I will recommend you to all of my friends & family. Best wishes, M

Dear Dr. Bittner and Staff, I've been trying to figure out a way to write a testimonial that would express how monumentally impressed, surprised, and thankful I am for what you do! (Hopefully this will get the point across!) I've tried everything possible since I was 16 to camouflage my saddlebags. I've always been between a size 6 and 8... had a pear-shaped body, tons of cellulite, and saddle bags that forced my wardrobe to consist of thick materials and A-line skirts. I've worked out like crazy, dieted, tried creams, looked into mesotherapy.... and read every shape and fitness magazine that claimed to "get rid of saddlebags." Obviously to no avail! I came across your website while researching liposuction... and became obsessed with the testimonials... and with the before and after photos. After talking to you on the phone, I just had a feeling that this was the thing for me...being 35, having 2 kids... and being such a skeptic... your honesty and willingness to answer all my questions just made something click in my head. Well... I could type on about my experience at your office... but I think the other testimonials cover how great you all are.... (especially my wonderful escort after the procedure, Jonathon... who claims he got me dressed... but I don't remember a thing!)...... Well, ..........let me just say MY SADDLEBAGS ARE GONE!!! I wish that I could go back and do this when I was 16... and re-do all the trips to the beach where I covered myself with a sarong the second I got up... or all the gym visits with my sweatshirt around my waist. You have changed my life.... Something I've been plagued by and obsessed with for more than half of my life.. is now gone... and while my husband was NOT happy with me for wanting to do the procedure, he is VERY happy with my new found confidence and how eagerly I put on clothes that are form fitting (and NOT A-line!). Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just don't think there can be more rewarding a job than yours... U hiring? :)

LBHey, Dr. Bittner and staff, What a great staff you have. I have never felt more at ease or at home than at your office. I was learing at coming to California you guys have a reputation. That is only for some people. I was turning 50 the day of my procedure. You here that turning 50 sucks. Well in my case it really "sucked". The Happy Birthday song was great!! Thanks to Phillip, Angela, Tammy, Jillan,Ron and if I left anyone off thanks also. The Texas Trio will never forget our trip to Beverly Hills . We all seem to be doing well. I would say the 4th day was the worst in swelling,but for the first time I have a waist and I know the final results are still to come. Again thanks for a great experience. Dr. Bittner you and your staff are the best. One of the Texas Tro

Hi Dr. Bittner! Ohmygoodness!!! I don't even remember posing for that photo! As I told you pre-op, again, I take this opportunity to I state emphatically so, that your site, your staff, the service, is da' bomb! Wow! I am so proud of myself for having the wisdom to choose the best! Thank you all very much for 'tempering' my enthusiasm with sound judgement as to exactly what I needed to have done. Left to my own judgement, I was ready to wave a 'fat-be-gone' wand over any part of my body that seemed 'poochy.' I appreciate the professional advice. The results of that advice are already looking good! Dr. Bittner, I appreciate your phone call, but you know I had to get my work out on! I am already doing my normal 45 min. workout (no aerobics - just yet), cleaning the house, bopping around, feeling completely pleased with the results I see. And you tell me the best is yet to come?! Man, oh man!!! I am reminded of a verse in a James Brown song, "jump back, I can't stand myself"! Owww!!! I am already feeling a healing-adit-site itch. Hope Aloe Vera around the small adit-site is okay...? I had thought about getting Liposculpture/suction for a couple of years now. Did lots of research. Even went for a consultation with Dr. A , (oops! maybe we can beep the name out...?) waaaay too expensive! I was not at peace..something felt off. I really could not determine why I was on the fence about having the surgery done. The Institute certainly courted my business quite ardently, with literature, discount coupons, emails, all of which turned me further off. I still did not know why. Then,one day while interneting, I saw the Beverly Hills Liposculpture site. BINGO. Suddenly, I understood what my hesitation/doubt was about with The A Institute: I did not really know what I was getting into. Are you kiddin'?! Liposculpture is a relationship between the patient and the surgeon. Trust has to abound! Big time! Tell me what to expect (pre and post-op) what the cost is, give me reassurance that if something were to happen you got my back- or stomach or arms. LOL> Anyway, what I did not get at the A Institute, I got five times over at BH Liposculpture namely: Julian, Stephanie, Jonathan and certainly no small mention to Rod and finally Dr. Bittner. Beverly Hills Liposculpture and service par excellence, are definitely synonymous. 7.5lbs of thanks to you and your wonderful team. Sincerely, A(nother) satisfied customer!

I just wanted to say, from the first phone call for information, making the appointment to, the procedure, to getting in the taxi to head to the airport was an awesome experience. Every person I dealt with was friendly, honest, and professional. Julianne, Ashley, Phillip, Trevor and of course Dr Bittner. (if I am wrong on the names, hey with the "keep you relaxed" medicine I have to say, I still wondered who put my clothes on me :) Thank you all for your up front honesty. The procedure was easy, great video of underwater sea life, to great conversation and laughter all the way through the procedure. Well I was a little goofy at the end. Thank you Dr Bittner for your honesty in what I should expect, then the no pressure while I decided what I should do. It is getting better all the time. If any of you out there question whether this is something for you, you can feel confident you will be taken very good care of !! I will see you in June for my legs ~ I CAN'T Wait !! You are all the BEST !! Hey Ashley, have you gone for your scuba diving certification yet ??? I will keep asking :)

It's been 6 1/2 weeks since my surgery. This past weekend I was in Palm Springs for the White Party. I was shirtless most of the time in front of thousands of other gay men. I wanted to let you know how great I felt with my new body and the work that you and your team did. It really has to be seen to be believed just how good I looked! I've worked so hard since my surgery to bring out the work you did by dieting and exercising and it's all paying off. The compliments were plentiful and I had no shame in owning up to the fact that Dr. Bittner was the major roll in my new found confidence and happiness. If this is what 6 weeks has done I can only imagine what 6 months will look like. Thank you again.

Hello Dr. Bittner- Staff. I wanted to say THANK YOU very much for your professionalism and kindness. I am so jazzed with how i feel and look in my clothes since my procedure on 3-14-08 . I was very scared and concerned being a Cardiac patient, not to many doctors want to treat someone HIGH RISK but after the consultation I knew i was in good hands. I am feeling great and looking even better. EVERYTHING I asked for I got. My family and friends and co-workers are amazed how good I look and how fast I recovered. Watch out summer here I come. P.S. I have gone from a 16 to a 12 and it hasnt even been two months. THANK YOU !

To Dr. Bittner and the Dream Team. It's been 21 days since my procedure. I'm still a little sore but boy...I can't believe the change in my body. I look and feel 10 years younger. I had to dispose of my waredrobe and buy all new clothes! I went from a size 14/16 to an 8/10. I'm 22 pounds lighter and have a new lease on life. Your team is so amazing, professional and funny. I did extensive research on different doctors and procedures before chosing you and the Dream Team. I made the right choice and would recommend anyone interested in lipo to come and see you. It was worth flying in to have the procedure done. Johnathan told me I'd say to myself, "why didn't I have this done sooner!" He was right... Thanks again.

Okay I just had to send ya'll an update. I will be the first to admit I was a bit hesitant in believing that I would be back in the gym so soon after my procedure. But it has been almost two weeks since I had my full abdomen and love handles done (on 4/7/08) and I just got done training and feel great! Who would of thought I would be able to complete a 10 minute ab workout, albeit slightly modified, followed by strength training with no pain. I am a true believer that you guys ROCK! Thanks for everything!

Hi, Dr. Bittner, I finally made it home yesterday after a long day of flights and driving time. Thank you for the phone message and the picture email. That is so nice of you to check on me. I also wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful care I got when I was at your clinic. Eveyone was so sweet and understanding with me. I have never been treated so well by a medical staff. Usually, when I have to deal with people in a medical setting, I will be able to say nice things about only some of the people. However, in your office, every single person was wonderful!! Please tell Rod "Thank You" from me, for being so nice and seeing me through this adventure. I am still swollen and sore, but I am confident that everything will be just fine. I may have few more areas worked on and I wouldn't think of going anywhere but your office. Thank you for everything!

Dr. Bittner and team, Thank you for making this such a positive experience. It has been 4 days since the procedure and my only complaint is the insane itchiness! Pain has been very minimal and what discomfort I have had has been easily managed with Tylenol. Dr. Bittner you and your entire team are AWESOME! I have no regrets flying cross country to get my procedure and I LOVE my new flat tummy and tiny waist. Looking forward to getting out on our boat this summer.
TM
Thank you so much for everything you've done. I got my love handles and upper and lower abdomen done and I couldn't be happier with the results. Everybody asked me why I was going through with this procedure and now I have people asking me how much it costs and where I went. I'm back to normal routines and am recovering quite well. I no longer am hearing the horrible comments of "Are you pregnant?" Now people are asking. "Have you lost weight?" I just can't thank you enough.
VK
Just wanted to write in and say that I am absolutely amazed at how quick and easy the procedure was and how quick and easy the recovery has been. Only 11 days post-op and, though still swollen, I am back to my normal routine and feel very little discomfort and pain. Everyone there was so fun and a pleasure to talk to. I'm coming back for more in a couple of months and actually look forward to it. Thanks again!
AB
Dr. Bittner you work with an amazing team of individuals! I had my full abdomen and love handles done almost 3 months ago and I came back yesterday for my upper arms and chin! I must say the results are already amazing, besides the jock strap looking thing I've worn on my head for the last 30 hours I'm feeling and looking great! Being a nurse I was most inpressed with the perfection and professionalism that your entire staff displays, special thanks to Trevor, Jonathan and Julian! See u all soon!

Thank you & the whole Dr. B team for all your TLC & treatments April 3 & 4th. I'm sore, but SO happy and was thrilled w/ both individual and team care. Julian, when I walked into the office April 3, you had 1 1/2 waiting rooms full of people, you were on & off the phone, juggling peoples' queries, concerns, signing people in. You were so pleasant & personal with me Wed April 2, both Thurs April 3 and Fri April 4. You are positive, energetic, "unfrantic" even though you were getting bombarded on all sides. I was/am impressed and grateful for your style of caring, through e-mails, phone calls, and in person. You have great & immediate impact, Julian and it leaves a lasting positive presence. Thank you to Dr. Alan Bittner, Stephanie, my PA sucker Rod, my sweet daily escort back to the Luxe , Ashley, and Johnny the cheerleader. I asked Johnny last night about suggesting that people bring black garbage bags, cut them open, layer under their own bedsheets (I brought my own old sheets & old towels) because even w/ Chux & old towels, my maxi pads got soaked & dripped on the Luxe's luxurious sheets . Maybe I'm just a "leaker" . He thought the bags would be too slippery, but I used them here @ home in bed & on our couch & slipping was not a problem. You need to warn people not to start LAUGHING when they have one or all of their compression garments removed & are replacing their own maxi-pads & trying to squeeze back into garments & holding the pads in place (unless you bring another pair of hands).......because if you're in the bathroom of the Luxe, standing on your junker towel, trying to hold the pads & pull on the garments & you get the GIGGLES, you will be STUCK there, with fountains dripping down your arms, legs, back & abd until your laughter subsides. Unfortunately, there are mirrors all around, so you get constant reminders of how ridiculous you look & the laughter goes on & on. I didn't expect to LAUGH so much after these procedures. Thank you so much. I'd researched a lot of liposuction approaches on line before choosing you guys. I think you have this fine-honed, great results & seem to cut recuperation time down quite a bit. I am thrilled so far & I'm still in EDEMA & leaking phases. Gratefully,
CS
Dear Dr Bittner, Many thanks for the photo (although I cannot remember it been taken). I eventually got home after an 11 hour flight and only after a couple of hours before I had to fly to S pain to meet my husband and the kids. My children didn’t know where I had gone, I told them I had fallen down the stairs and that was why I was so sore. ( I am such a big liar). But seriously thanks a million for all your help and kindness. A huge thanks also to Julian and Johnaton and everyone else who was so kind to look after me, I feel like I dreamt the whole thing, I can’t believe I have been in LA and had liposculpture and am back home in Ireland. I am still pretty sore, numb and very swollen at the moment which I know is all part of the process. But hopefully this will gradually reside and should get much better. I have stopped wearing the garment now, which feels strange as I feel my skin is tacked to my body (really weird feeling). I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the lovely weather you are all so lucky to have. Again a big thanks to everyone, especially yourself Dr. Bittner.

First and foremost I would like to thank Dr. Bittner and crew for making me feel welcome and comfortable during my procedure. Julian is such a gem ,very patient, charming and very knowledgeable , I already lost count of how many times I called your office due to scheduling conflicts and endless questions of what and how. Anyways, I first opted for tummytuck about 2 months ago but was discouraged by my yoga teacher by saying "Do you know that they reposition your belly button during tummy tuck?" WIth that on mind , I relentlessly searched the net for the best doctor for liposculpture. And that's when Dr. Bittner came to light. I like how he has his website structured in a way that best explains the price and length of recovery and what to expect during the procedure. He had it in a way that if you're making a paper in Liposuction, this is the best website that the net can offer. Tons of info, before and after pictures, testimonials, very easy to navigate website. It explains everything you need to know about liposulpture. Like wikipedia.....LOL! Dr. Bittner told me that he can only take 60%-70% of the fat out. Are you kidding me, Rod took every inch of my ugly fat off my belly. I can't believe how flat my tummy looks now.Since I'm having my belly done, I figured weight loss needs to match my arms and chin to look more proportioned. So I had my procedure (full abdomen, love handles, back, chin, jowls and arms) on a Thursday and went back to work the following monday. I started walking 45 minutes on the 3rd day after the procedure to prevent blood clots. OMG, you should see how my co-workers stared and talked behind my back. Who could not have noticed, My body changed overnight, from a size 11 to a size 6. Also when we had my child's birthday party , my husband made sure he invited our closest friends and relatives to show me off. My girlfriends even asked me if I had breast augmentation. Of course, smaller waist , means bigger breast. Dr. Bittner you are indeed my very own fountain of youth. My husband can't stop complimenting me cause my body and weight change encouraged him even more to work out every day. I'm still a bit sore in my abdomen 4 weeks post op, but I still can't believed the transformation happened so quickly. Now I'm wearing my skinny pants (of course with spanx), low-waist just how my daughter's like theirs. Even my hairdresser who had a tummytuck 3 weeks prior to my lipo cannot believed the results. Rod , you are heaven sent and Dr. Bittner you are a blessing. I just can't thank you enough guys. And for those people considering a tummy tuck , please do your own research and make sure you consult with Dr. Bittner first so you can make a better and an informative decision. He is worth every penny. He won't promise you the moon and the stars above, but he gave me heaven instead!!!!

Hey guys! Just giving you an update. It was three weeks last Thursday. Still cant feel my skin (strange sensation). Swelling coming down. Still hard and lumpy in most spots but is getting better. Seems to even out when I wear a "shaper" and keeps swelling down. My "skinny" jeans are falling off and I have had to make a new hole in my belts! Have had several comments about looking like I have lost weight. I am back to full swing, lifting weights 3 days a week and cardio. Have not played a soccer game yet however, it is still sore when touched and I don't want to get slammed into the wall playing a game. Keep you posted!

Who’s that HOT girl with her eyes closed? Ha! Kidding… Sorry it took me so long to reply to this email. I just wanted to say you guys are all so wonderful and I appreciate all the kindness and fun… Sure makes it easier to have your side handles grabbed and sucked out when everyone makes it so easy. I feel wonderful- still have this sexy girtle on…and I am healing very fast. I’ll have to cruise back up there in 6 months so I can get the full before and after pics…I already see such a big difference! Exciting. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Cheers!

Dear Dr. Bittner, Well, I’m sore sore sore, but I really want you to know that I feel nothing but joy at this transformation of my body. Some people might think me mad to do this – the cost, the soreness – but I am so full of pleasure and comfort with my new shape that, for me, it is all worth it. More than worth it - Even at my slimmest, years ago, I wasn’t as shapely as your talents have made me. I feel just so……good. Thank you!
MG
I want to thank you Dr. Bittner. You made me feel very comfortable before the procedure. Rod was also amazing. He kept talking to me and helped me relax. ( I told Rod I'd remember to mention him). On the second day when I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw my flat belly and a waist that I never had, I was thrilled! I am now one week post procedure and I couldn't be happier with the results.
RT
I am 1 week post procedure and i am very happy with my results on top of all the bruising and the swollenness im exited to see the final results i finally have a waist line thank you dr. Bittner and his team you guys were awesome and my made my lipo procedure very very very pain free i didnt feel a thing i dont even remember half of the surgery all i remember is Dr. Bittner saying we ill be done in a couple of hours and then i was in my car going home is was great thank you guys are heaven sent!!!!!!!!!I want to see the picture of me and all of my fat on the website thanks you again you guys are amazing.

I am 2 weeks post procedures and and the only thing I am wondering now is why the heck I haven't done this sooner! I arrived in town on my first day of procedures without a prior consultation. Everything in your office ran like a well oiled machine and the efficiency and relaxed attitude of the staff was very impressive. I was seen within minutes of filling out the paperwork and then, r. Bittner came in and we got started. I had A LOT of things done... I mean A LOT!! I am basically revamped from below my breasts to my knees AND my chin. That being done over 2 days was a lot I know, however, I was very determined to get it all done and get on with the recovery since I have a month off work. Overall, I was told I am less 17 lbs of fat. WHEW! I have had very realistic expectations in figuring my recovery might take a little longer given all the procedures I had done and I was right. I'm still a little sore and stiff, but I'M HAPPY!! I can already fit into form fitting clothing (yoga pants) and look good in them. I've NEVER looked good in them and always had to wear a big t-shirt to cover my saddlebags, thighs rubbing together and pooch of a stomach. Rod, was fabulous! I can't say enough about him and of course, Dr. Bittner. Both were very encouraging and it was reassuring to find we were all on the same page in my expectations and the areas I wanted GONE! Both days were a breez in doing the procedures. I talked a lot with, Rod, the first day, however, I don't remember much about the second day of procedures. I can't wait to see how my body shapes up over the next several months since I'm already off to such a great start! I was already going for walks or walking on the treadmill my very first day of procedures. I took it easy, but felt better when I exercised a little bit each day. If there is anything I can say to those who are skeptical or anxious about having such procedures done is this; If there is an area of your body that just weighs on how you feel about yourself then... JUST DO IT! I told my boyfriend that if someone offered me a million dollars, but told me I could not have these procedures done, I would do the procedures because there is NOTHING that can do for me or make me feel about myself what I do now. Thank you BHLS!!! You guys/gals ROCK!

Dear Beverly Hills Liposculpture, It's been three weeks since my procedure and I'm already seeing a big difference. I had my full abdomen, love handles and chest done. The bruising and most of the swelling has gone away. I'm still a little sore, but it was all worth it. The procedure wasn't very painful at all. I can't wait to see my full results. Thank you for sending me the pictures. I would love to go back and take some after pictures in about 3-6 months. Thank you Dr. Bittner, and thanks to all the staff at Beverly Hills Liposculpture. You are all awesome !

Hi again Everyone!! Today marks almost one complete week since you relieved me of 1.5 lbs from my upper arms and face (1/18/08). Until today, I wore mufflers and turtle necks out in public, more for my unwillingness to have people wonder if I was a victim of a crime. BUT I LOOK GREAT! I went today to have my lashes tinted at a place where I have never been, the woman working on me thought I was younger than her (and she is only 35 and cute !!!!!) So, this means results are great after only 6 full days!! There are 2 things I am actually looking forward to with in the next couple of months; renewing my Passport and my driver's license, no joke! So thanks again, and I plan to stop by your office soon when this rain slows down and I am in the immediate area. Happy Friday!

Wow, I tried keeping my liposculpture a secret but people kept asking me how I lost so much weight so fast! I just couldn't keep lying to them! Actually I've only lost 5 lbs. but on my 5'1" frame it looks like I've lost 20lbs.! Exactly 8 weeks ago you worked on my full abdomen, love handles, upper arms and thighs. The results are incredible and I feel amazing. I'm so grateful I fund your website because I was seriously considering a tummy tuck until learning about YOUR liposculpture techniques. I'm a chiropractor and my job is very physical. To think of leaving my practice 6-8 weeks for a tummy tuck deterred me on many levels. But after my liposculpture procedure I was able to return to work adjusting my patients in just 4 days! Yes I was sore (like I had the work-out of my life), and yes I was swollen, but working and moving around actually felt good and took a lot of the pain away. Let me just say that after 3 pregnancies in the past 5 years and paying more attention to my business than myself, liposculpture is the best present I could've ever given my super busy self. It's not only changed me physically but has had more of a positive emotional and psychological impact on me than I ever thought. I thank you and your entire staff for being a part of that. By the way, my husband sends an extra special thanks because the work you did on my thighs somehow made my derriere lok like it did when I was 18 years olds! Go figure!

Dear Beverly Hills Liposculpture, I would like to thank you for the kind, friendly and professional treatment that I (and the hubby) received during my procedure. My procedure was done on 1/18/08 and the entire experience was fantastic. I had a consultation weeks earlier with Stephanie and I left the office VERY excited to get liposculpture. On the day of the procedure, the hubby and I entered the office to a smiling Julian and a wise-cracking Jonathan. Great combination! Julian had even noticed that I'd cut off my dreadlocks. I knew when Dr. Bittner starting marking me up that the party had begun. The laughing gas did its job, as I recall laughing hysterically while watching Meerkat Manor. I feel that I may owe Kyle and Rod apologies, as I remember a lot of talking/laughing but remember none of the context. That can't be good! :-) Truthfully, I don't even remember posing for the 'fat holding' picture with Jonathan or my hubby driving me the 2.5 hours to my house in San Diego. Most importantly, I do remember everyone going out of the way to make sure that I was comfortable, and the feeling that I was in good hands. At no point, did I feel anxious or even pain. It has only been a few days and even with the compression garments.. I see a waist! I look forward to the weeks and months to come, especially since I plan to be a Hottie this summer. I already know that I'll be back to visit for the thighs. Woo Hoo!

Hi BH Lipo Gang! It has been almost 3 weeks since my procedure (abdomen, love handles, hips and back) and I could not be happier! Every day I think about you guys and how glad I am I made the decision to get lipo! Why on earth did I put this off for so long? I was crazy to live with that old chubby me!! I feel so much better about my body and I already feel so much more confidence. I used to hate walking by a mirror or seeing my reflection and realizing that I truely looked so fat and lumpy. In the last 2 weeks, I have LOVED walking by the mirror! I actually look at my body before I get in the shower and smile. AMAZING! The first day after the procedure was OK. I was pretty sore, but it was managed by a few tylenols. By day 3 I went for a hike and I'm now back to the gym (no jogging yet). This past weekend I went to try on clothes and it was such a pleasure to catch the side view of myself in a t-shirt and not see those ugly bra rolls. I have a smooth back! A smooth back!! Wow. I feel a bit silly for being as nervous as I was about the whole experience because it was no big deal. It was over before I even knew what happened. Your staff could not have been nicer and I swear that you have the best medical office I have ever been to. Rod, Kyle and Trevor are great! Your wife is wonderful and she made me laugh when she dressed like ghost to freak me out while I was on laughing gas. I didn't expect to have lipo and comic relief. I don't know why some people say they don't remember anything because I think I remember every minute. Julian at the front desk is a treasure and she really sealed the deal when I walked in the door and she told me and my hubby not to worry. Of course the website was wonderful too. I don't want to forget to mention how much the honesty of your website impressed me. It was very refreshing to be told the truth about what to expect. To sum it up, I am very happy with my decision and would do it again for sure. My husband still swears I looked good before, but I think he is happy I had it done. Thank you so much for changing my life. You all are wonderful people and I am glad to have found you. I will recommend you highly to anyone that asks and if I get fat in the future, you will see me again.

It's been almost 2 months since the procedure. I feel and look great. I had gotten done my waist, love handle, abdomen, arms, and outer thighs. (A LOT!) So it was a pretty big procedure...also considering that I had to fly from D.C. I was very sore for the first 2-3 days, but it was certainly bearable. I went to get my hair done 2 days after the procedure. The staff was great in making me feel comfortable and relaxed. They were very considerate and accomodating. I was amazed how thin my waist got after the procedure. At first it was swollen and lumpy, but now it looks very natural and smooth. My arms look great as well. So I'm more confident in wearing fitted clothes. My trouble spots are gone. I work out more, and eat healthier so that I can take full advantage of the results. I'm so glad I had gotten the procedure. Dr. Bittner truly performed a flawless job on my body, and I thank him very much. I'm just really happy with the result,and the whole experience was worth every penny!

Hi Dr Bittner and wonderful staff!! I am so HAPPY!! It has been 3 full weeks since my procedure and besides giving birth to my beautiful daughter, this has definitely been the best thing I have ever done for myself. Ever!!!! I had my full abdomen, love handles, hips, flanks done. I really expected more than 3 canisters of fat!! I must say, that the actually procedure is kind of a blur to me. (no more Ativan for me!!). I was not scared or afraid and very excited to get rid of my fat!! I remember that it really didn't hurt, and at times was a little ticklish! Of course, being an RN and afraid of clots, I started walking that first day. I just started jogging again, but taking it easy. I couldn't believe the results when I took off the garments on day 3. I was so shocked when I looked in the mirror. Looking past the bruising, my sagging, hanging, fat tummy and fat hips were gone. Gone!! It was so amazing!!! Then the swelling set in on day 4. Oh my! I gained 4 pounds in water retention. I was expecting some swelling but this was something else. My poor little ankles were so swollen! . The swelling started to go down a few days later, and is so much better now. I have since lost the 4 pounds and 6 more pounds!! The bruising is now gone, too. I am just starting to feel like "myself" again. My spine area and lower back was quite tender and bruised for almost 2 weeks. The skin around my whole abdomen area is now quite numb but "tingly" and tender to touch. It is a very odd sensation!! The skin is lumpy and hard, too! It really seems to "tighten up" while exercising/moving alot. This feels so weird. I know that the numbness can last for months. I just can't get over how much my flabby skin has firmed up. I really wasn't expecting it to happen, at least not so quickly! Wow! I just want to say thanks to all of you again for your kindness, patience and professionalism. I will definitely recommend you to any of my friends thinking of having liposculpture done. No hesitation!! You have changed my life, and I feel so much better about myself now!!! Thanks again,
JJ
I just wanted to say Thank you for everything. Since my procedure in May, I have gone from a size 14 to an 8 in work clothes and a 6 in jeans. I feel so good about myself now and have recently began to have my monthly cycles again. I am now hopeful that I might just be able to get pregnant on my own without fertility drugs or adoption. You changed my life with what you did for me. Thank you so much!

Dr. Bittner, Let me start by saying what a fantastic staff you have. Julian was delightful and extremely helpful when I first arrived. After filling out a few papers and looking at what areas I wanted to have treated, she told me I would be able to have it all done in one day. That made me VERY happy! Kyle deserves substantial praise not only for having to put up with my incessant nervous chater and laughter but because she had the most unpleasant task of having to prep and numb me. Rod was great in his job of removing the fat (and there was lots of it) from my body. I am sure there were times he would have liked to have taped my mouth shut. Jonathan had the "pleasure" of taking me into the recovery room and then out to my boyfriend when he arrived to pick me up. I must say that I am the biggest chicken as far as pain is involved and I was made comfortable by your staff. It has been almost two weeks since my procedure and am still a little tender and swollen but it has been worth it. I did have a lot done " full abdomen, love handles/waist, hips, inner & outer thighs and knees" but each day gets better. Even with the swelling, I have seen changes and am liking what I see (bruising excluded). I can't wait until the tenderness has gone away to put my jeans on again. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is considering this type of procedure. I will be back again so you can make more imprvements to my body! I am hoping I will be back down there in 3-6 months so you can take the after pictures of me. Again, many thanks to you and to your staff for taking such good care of me.

Hello, Fellow Concerned Liposcuplture Hopeful,
Here's my story. I weighed 205 and went down to 165 after two years of regular exercise and strict diet. I realized it was impossible to lose two areas. For several months after having exhausted all the possibilities of losing my love handles and abdomen area I began to research Liposuction procedures and ultimately making the best educated decision I believe I could possibly have ever made. After spending time studying the different methods employed by various top doctors, recovery times, and most importantly complications the choice had become clear. Like any surgery there can always be the chance of negative effects or ultimately death. With that in mind, this is not a decision you or I should take lightly and my months of research led me to Dr. Alan Bittner.
Let me begin by saying watching "Superstar Jonny" on youtube.com first led me to Dr. Bittner and his exceptional, hand selected team of caring associates. I practically memorized Dr. Bittner's website and made comparisons with other doctors throughout the States. Considering this is my only body and I can afford the best I would've travelled anywhere from Miami to have my procedure to insure a complete, uncomplicated success.
At your arrival you will soon find the entire place exudes a cozy feel and not a stuffy cold medical clinic. From your initial call to their serene, secluded office located in the heart of the world famous Rodeo dr. you immediately feel invited. Getting out of the elevator and making your way to the clinic you feel a small anxious feeing however you quickly remember others have followed this same path towards perfection. The anticipation is quickly calmed by the beautiful Julian who greets you with a warm inviting smile behind an elegant desk. Moments later you are required to fill in some short forms and eventually are escorted to your consultation room. Everyone is so nice and comes over to introduce themselves, you never feel uncomfortable or out of place. A statuesque gentlemen with bright eyes walks in to introduce himself after a bevy of beautiful assistants, as Dr. Bittner and he immediately puts you at ease with his professional demeanor, candor, and warm smile. Once the formalities are out of the way the procedure begins shortly after. You are asked several times if you'd like to use the washroom however that was the furthest thing in my mind, I was ready for action. All those months of anticipation finally answered I would get rid of the fat forever. I never thought it would be as simple as it was. I actually giggled several times, I was actually slightly embarrassed thinking I know I like pain to some degree but this really tickles! Fortunately, I had the best assistant, her voice completely made me feel at ease the entire time, she was my angel, and then one after another they each came in to check on my progress, I couldn't really tell you what I spoke about or with who or at what given time, although I vaguely remember mentioning Kyle with Trevor .. without question the procedure just got better and better along the way.
I had my procedure Tuesday 12/11/07 and everything is going better than anticipated. The pain meds provided came in handy the first two days even though the pain really wasn't that unbearable. I'm realistic and only anticipating seeing real results within 3 - 6 months. In the meantime, I consider myself blessed I choose Dr. Bittner and his team of professionals to work on the only possession that has any real value to me.
Should anyone have any questions or doubts whatsoever, take it from me as one of the biggest skeptics, I stand by this claim unequivocally, Dr. Bittner and his divine team of experts are THE complete solution for your Liposculpture needs.

Dr. Bittner, I am already seeing GREAT results. I saw the most amazing thing the day after the surgery. When my wife removed my garment so I could shower I could see I no longer have a spare tire around my waist. You have taken the "Mushroom Top" I was wanting. I thought results would take much longer to see. If the results are supposed to improve more from this I am simply speechless. Other than some swelling and some lumpiness I can see I no longer have a belly or love handles. I am so happy that I have broke down and cried several times. My shirts are already just draping off me. I can't believe what you have done for me. A side effect of this procedure is depression? Not for me buddy!!! It's Thursday morning and it's been four days since my treatment, I am still a little sore, but 100% better than I was. I would love to tell the world about your business. What is the best way to spread the word of your FABULOUS office and staff? I sure wish you could see my four day results. It's unbelievable. I would love to offer up my before and after pictures (when I have healed) for you website. I know I would have liked to seen more males in the before and afters. You truly are a miracle worker. Please tell your whole team that I think the world of them and I truly enjoyed being around each and every one of you. In your debt,

Hi Dr.Bittner, I can't thank all of you enough for being soooo nice and making me (and my husband) feel very comfortable. I know I have thanked you,Trevor, Jonathan, Rod and Kyle but I wanted to make sure I gave a huge thanks to Stephanie (for doing a wonderful consult) and a GIANT thanks to Julian; she just could not have been nicer and really made me feel as if everything would be fine (I don't know how the place would run without her!!). I got back to San Francisco last night after my third procedure and am feeling OK today. Everyone was great about telling me what to expect so no surprises at all. I have already called to clarify a couple of things and everyone has been very patient when answering them. I can already see a difference and am so I am excited to see what the next 3-6 months brings once all the swelling has gone down. Thanks again, this will truly be a life changing experience for me!! If I have calculated right the total fat removed is in excess of 40 pounds!! If any of you every come up to the Bay Area please feel free to give me a call; I would be happy to show you around or at the very least give you some great recommendations in the city or the Napa Valley.

Dear Dr. Bittner, Just to give you a little bit of background, I have been trying to run my legs off for about 15 years now…It was not until recently that I seriously considered getting liposuction. I must have read every site that surfaced on Google about liposuction. The one that caught my eye was yours, and I thank my lucky stars for that. Although I'm from Texas , I did not hesitate to book my flight, hotel, and make that appointment because it was the most informative website around. It pretty much tells you everything you need to know with no B.S. (as you put it:)) I flew in to town 11/25, my appointment was on the 26th, and I must admit I was very nervous. I never had any type of surgery done before. I have been grappling with this for a long time...I wanted to put this to rest in my head and find out once and for all if I could be helped or not. Most people that I talked to about doing liposuction told me I was crazy and that most of the girth on my legs was due to muscle. I was prepared for you to tell me this and fly home the following day. I marked my buttocks, inner/outer thighs, knees, and calves to be worked on, but I ended up just getting my inner/outer thighs and knees done based on your recommendation. I can't thank you enough for being honest about what I actually needed and bringing me back to earth about my expectations. :) I already paid in full and was willing to go with whatever you said. After getting marked up, a few pre-op pictures, I was ready to go. Kyle came in shortly, and I have to thank her for introducing me to laughing gas. I never experienced that before, and it made the pricking and numbing go with little to no pain. She was incredibly sweet, she entertained my million questions, and her conversation (forced by me :)) due to my nervousness made the time pass by quickly. Next up was Rod. He too was so kind. He did the dirty work and sucked up that fat that has been plaguing me all my life! I was amazed to see all that fat in that container. I'm glad it was in there and finally out of me. :) Rod also addressed my nervous chatter and made the procedure go as comfortably as possible. Lastly, you came in to do some quality control and the last bit of liposculpting. Poor Jonathan was tasked with putting on my "ziploc" and was exposed to parts he probably didn't want to see, and Trevor was kind enough to pose with me in my post-op pic. I can't thank you and your staff enough for helping me begin to get over my "leg complex" and finally gaining confidence in that arena. Your website is awesome as it has everything one needs to know to make an informed decision about liposuction. It's neat to know that everyone on your staff has had some type of work done. The upfront pricing, testimonials, quick recovery time, out of town info, FAQ all played an integral part in my decision making to go to Cali . It was worth every bit of my time and money! I can already see the difference and am just elated with the results (after 2 days). It's hard to believe that given more time, it'll get even better! Thank you again for your extreme kindness, hiring a wonderful staff, and just being genuine in your support and service. I will never forget this life changing experience and the fortunate opportunity that allowed me to meet such an incredible group of people. Warmest Regards,
HN
It has been 2 weeks and 3 days since my liposculpture. I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I just had to tell you guys how happy I was when my mom came in town for the holiday. Right away she noticed something different about me--she said Wow Nina you lost weight---a LOT of weight, what did you do?!!! this made the decision to get liposculpture done WELL worth the money because my mom holds no qualms at all when it comes to telling me or my siblings how much weight we are gaining,(Oh Nina, you gaining weight ain't cha?) I always feel the love at those words. Anyway since it was a holiday I decided to wear some regular clothes instead of my comfy sweats and was delighted to find that I could fit a brand new pair of jeans that I couldn't fit when I bought them (because I refused to buy a bigger pair I was gonna lose the weight). They had no ugly rolls hanging off the sides and I even had a little room left on them. I saw a couple of people give me a double take, it was great! I am still wearing my compression garments because I noticed that gravity was hurting me. I am still sore in different places on different days.I thought I was so cute that day but it was short lived because I had to pull those jeans off after a few hours, due to the button on there was causing discomfort to my stomach, not quite ready for form fitting jeans yet I guess. I love my waist it curves in now, it's awesome! I'm so excited to watch my body change! I will e-mail you again on my progress or when something tickles me that I have to write it right away!

Dr Bittner and staff, Its a day after my procedure and im doing great I wanted you all to know that I am the biggest baby when it comes to anything medical even passing out at the sight of a needle BUT my procedure was much easier than anticipated and the entire staff was incredible! I was practically anxiety free. Thank you Kyle for the conversation. Something in the drugs made me a bit "chatty" and who knows what we talked about but you were awesome. Off to smaller size pants! All My best,
CC
I just wanted to share these before and after pictures with you. (Not great quality pictures, but you can still see the difference, especially viewing them side by side!) I know it's only been about two weeks since the procedure, but I'm already thrilled by the changes I see. There is just a little swelling left, no bruises left, and no more pain (which wasn't bad in the first place.) I also wanted to thank you all for your kindness, excellent service, and efficiency! It was well worth the 30 minutes the procedure took! Thanks again!
DY
Thank you Dr. Bittner! I can't wait to really see the results after the healing. I loved everyone at your office, especially Johnnie, he was a doll. Next time we can attack my massive thighs. I'm going to work as hard as I can to get my weight down first. Thanks again for everything. It was a pleasure meeting you and your friendly staff. Mike says hi and thank you, also!

Dr Bittner, Thanks for the follow up call and email. I am home now safe, sound, and doing well. The day of the surgery I was pretty out of it from the drugs (which I appreciated greatly) so I spent most of that day resting. The next day we spent hanging out on the beach. Then Wednesday and Thursday I spent full days at Disneyland. Friday was an entire day at Universal Studios. So you were 100% correct, I was able to get moving in no time. With a week under my belt, I think I am experiencing all the normal side effects. My stomach is bruised, tender and slightly swollen. With that said, I could see the awesome results after day 1. Assuming the bruising, swelling, and hard spots go away you will have another delighted customer. Thanks to you and your staff for making it an easy experience. You have a top notch crew. I am so glad I chose you and your team to do it! I can't tell you how excited I am about my new flat belly. Even as a teenager or when I have been in tip top shape I have never had a flat tummy so this is VERY EXCITING for me! Thanks for making it possible. Take care,
DM
Hello Dr. Bittner! Hey, thank you for the notes you sent Rob and I...that was a very nice touch! We had a very positive experience with you and your team, they helped eliminate alot of anxiety. We are a bit sore, especially Rob but you know those wimpy Canadians (Jonathan), nothing we cannot deal with. Thanks again to you and your great team, you guys are the best! Im sure we will see you again in 2008 for more fun! P.S. Tell "Trev" hi! :)
SW
Hello Dr. Bittner and team! I just want to thank everyone for the good jobs that you did. I don't know everyone by name but I felt like I knew you guys before I actually met you because of my frequent visits to your website and my phone calls lol. Thank you ladies (Kyle and Stephanie) for making me comfortable with all the good drugs you gave me…Rod, thank you so much for working so hard on me and hanging in there, I really do appreciate it. I can tell a difference in my shape already, but I am a little concerned about the lower abdomen, it is swollen like the fat is still there, you didn't miss that part did you? I know you didn't, it's just really swollen. I think you owe me 25 cents right…Man I hope so. I hope I didn't wear your ears out! Of course I want to thank Dr. Bittner. I love your facility, it's location, and your team members, especially Rod. He's hot! I know he's married, so am I…I was just looking. I'd like to request Mr. Rod for my next procedure. Thank you to the receptionist, Julian, for making me feel more at ease when i arrived, even though you didn't have any gas-x… lol. Thank you Johnathon for making me laugh, and by the way, you're hot too! lol. Today is the first day that I didn't reach for the pain pills as soon as I woke up. I will keep you guys posted on my future progress, again, Thank you everyone for your help in making me comfy/ beautiful.

Dr. Bittner and Staff: My friends are amazed with my new body, and so am I! I look and feel fantastic. I've dropped four sizss in five months. The science of sculpturing with only laughing gas is awesome. A special thank you to you Dr. Bittner and to your wonderful staff.

Dear Dr. Bittner, I am writing to thank you for providing such a safe and healthy way of different lipo procedures. News of Kanye West's mom's recent unfortunate complication from having been put under general anesthetics for a cosmetic procedure really made me feel so grateful to have found your way of using a safe and healthy method for cosmetic change. I hope others will be as lucky to find your wonderful method.
