I don’t think I could ever thank Dr. Collini and his staff enough for all their hard work and dedication. After a major weight loss of about 85 pounds, I spent thousands of dollars on firming creams, body contouring, wraps, etc. Not only did I waste a lot of money, but a lot of time too. I had an extreme fear of cosmetic surgery scars. I came to Dr. Collini asking him to take care of my loose skin and saggy body but leave behind NO SCARS. He agreed politely to do just as I wished but also assured me that I would not be happy with those results. He gave me a few suggestions on what he can do to make me happy. I went home and spent countless hours researching his suggestions and ideas. I stood in the mirror trying to envision how my new body would look. I became very excited and scheduled my Tummy Tuck, Thighplasty, Brachioplasty, breast implants and fat transfer to cheeks. (By the way, Dr. Collini only suggested Tummy Tuck and Brachioplasty procedures, I included the rest.) I also get Botox and Sclerotherapy frequently. I must admit that I can’t believe I feared the scars at one point. I would rather look at my “Hard Earned Scars” than loose skin any day. Which by the way, my scars are fading nicely and soon will be unnoticeable. I am a 35 year old mother of three boys. I have struggled with weight all my life and I never had that “Dream Body”. Thanks to my hard work with my weight loss and Dr Collini’s “Expertise” I now have that “Dream Body”!

….” I always had “back fat” or back rolls under my bikini top…but as I got older and had my children, gravity took over and the rolls became lower and lower. It started to bother me when I was standing at work, I could feel the rolls touching my lower back. I could wipe the sweat that would accumulate in that area and was worried about getting a fungal infection. I was always “tucking” my rolls under my sports bra ! I went to Dr. Collini to discuss liposuction. Unfortunately, I found out that this was not fat, but loose skin that could only be corrected by cutting it off! This was a lot to think about, because I would now have a large scar on my back. I decided the scar was worth having a smooth back! After the surgery, I was so happy I did it!!! People kept asking me if I lost weight and I hadn’t! I do have a scar that creates challenges with bathing suits, but my clothes lay so much better on my upper body! Overall, the trade-off was worth it! Scar vs feeling better in clothes and having clothes lay smoother? – Definitely worth it! Rachel, a happy patient
