I'm so happy I did it!
I want to thank Dr. Butterwick for giving me back my neck. I did my Thermitight with lipo about 6 months ago and I have to say I look great! I was a little nervous in the beginning but slowly things have improved and now when I take photos I’m not concentrating on my double chin. My results are very natural and I even look younger. I’m so happy I did it!

Best Experience and Outcome
Dr Fabi and staff are outstanding. Stephanie did an awesome job preparing me pre op, and took extra amazing car post op. The OR staff was nothing short of amazing. Dr. Fabi is just wow. Went over the top putting in extra effort and her own time to make sure I had the best outcome. She truly cares about you and prides herself in her work. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

The care during the procedure was top notch
I am 4 weeks post laser with Dr.Groff and I am so happy with the results !
Dr Groff used multiple laser procedures on my face , and did thermitight and micro lipo on my jawline and chin. I am so happy with my results. And, I know I will continue to see more improvements over the next 6‒8 months. His office also has a great selection of high quality sunscreen products that were very competitively priced. I couldn't be more pleased.

New Body to Match New Lifestyle
Over the past couple years I changed my lifestyle completely to be more healthy. I lost weight, started cooking at home, started doing weightlifting and taking cardio classes at the gym. I saw a change in both my body and my overall mental well‒being, but I just couldn't shake the last bits of fat. I decided to have liposuction as the last step in the journey to feeling great about my body. I went to Dr. Butterwick at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. She listened to my concerns and reasons during the consultation, and the procedure itself went very well. I was up and about just a few days afterward, and now at 3 months I'm still a little swollen but I can already see a difference. My results were great immediately after, so I'm confident that I will look amazing in another few months.
