After searching for the perfect doctor to give me my dream body for 3 years I finally found the doctor for me! I got liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift from Doctor Hanz and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! He did exactly what I asked for and then some. I was nervous about having a fake looking butt and he gave me the most perfect round athletic looking butt. I had a pooch and love handles for the longest time and they are completely gone! All the other doctors I met in the past didn't really seem like they cared, but Dr Hanz listened to me with patience and answered all of my questions thoroughly! I am so grateful I met him and chose him to give me the body I have been wanting for years. The procedure was not under anesthesia and I recovered so quickly. If I could give 100 stars I would! More
Bodytite on abs and flanks - I've always hated my love handles, no matter how much I work out or diet even when I was young that's where weight would stay. Finally I decided to do something about it! After doing a ton of research I decided BodyTite was for me. Now about a year after my procedure I can say it was totally worth it. I was swollen for maybe 9-10 weeks because they did some liposuction too, but I could tell a difference right away & my best results seemed to show at about 6 months after my BodyTite. More
Breast Implant Removal and Liposuction - I had my implants for 9 years and I was having continual neck and back pain and I decided to have them removed instead of being replaced. I am now 12 days post op and feeling great and I am happy with my results performed by Dr. Hanz. The staff at Elevate Medical Spa was amazing from scheduling my consultation down to the actual procedure. More
The staff at Elevate Medical Spa was amazing from the scheduling of my first consultation down to the actual procedures. I had two separate procedures performed by Dr. Hanz the first one being breast implant and capsule removal with a lift and the second one being liposuction. Dr. Hanz and his staff were very helpful in answering all of my questions and concerns. I decided to have my implants removed after 9 years because of continued back and neck pain and I am very happy with my results. More
34 Years Old, 3 Children - Tummy Tuck & Liposuction - Sumter, SC - Ever since I had my twins 6 years ago I have had excess fat in the stomach area that hangs and is very unattractive and uncomfortable. We always wanted another child so I decided a long time ago that if I was not able to get rid of the belly fat before getting pregnant with my last child that I would have a tummy tuck and liposuction afterwards. Well I finally had my last child and 6 months later I had a tummy tuck and liposuction on my abdomen, hips, lower back and thighs. All 3 children were born via C-section so in addition to the belly fat, I also had 2 C-section scars and a stretched out former belly button piercing hole. I had my surgery on Tuesday, April 22, spent one night in the hospital and went back to work part-time at my desk job the following day. I was back to work full time the following Monday. The pain was very manageable and in my opinion not as bad as a C-section. My pain from my C-sections was very low making it very hard to get up and down whereas this pain was higher and it was much easier to get up and down. I was up out of bed on my own within a few hours after the surgery. The worst part was not being able to sleep in my bed when I got home. I slept in a recliner for the first 2 weeks as I could not get comfortable on my back in bed. I usually sleep on my side which also was not comfortable. I also had two drains for the first 4 days that I had to be careful of. I am just about one month out and very satisfied so far. My hips are still pretty swollen, I have some excess fluid below my belly button and some pleating on my right hip that should go away with time. I am still not very comfortable without my binders on my abdomen as the sensation of my shirt touching my stomach is just weird so I'm still wearing the binders on my abdomen all of the time. I am only wearing the wraps on my thighs about half of the time at this point. I use ace bandage wraps in conjunction with hamstring braces and have found this to work well. Updated on 22 Jun 2014: I still have a lot of swelling probably because of my level of activity. I am working out with a personal trainer 3x a week but not doing any direct ab exercises yet. I have been going without my binder some lately since it's summer and swim season but I noticeably swell and feel somewhat uncomfortable. I'm hoping the final results are closer to how I looked 4 days post op. My only complaint is how high my scar is but overall I'm still happy. Updated on 14 Sep 2014: Things are going really well. I still have quite a bit of swelling in my mid section and on my right hip. I also still have pleating on my right hip that I'm starting to think will not go away on it's own. I am not wearing the binder garments anymore and haven't been for over a month. I am still unhappy with how high my scar is but pleased with my overall results. More
