Testimonials


Testi "I have made the decision to have liposuction after having 2 boys and no matter how hard I tried to lose that baby fat I just couldn't get rid of the problem areas. A friend of mine had liposuction by Dr. Blome and I was so impressed with her results that I too decided to have cosmetic surgery. I started at a size 10 or 12 and after liposuction went to a size 6. I now have a nice flat stomach, shapely hips, and a waist that I can once again be proud of. I have to watch my diet and walk and exercise to maintain my surgical results. And 3 years later I can wear my size 6 blue jeans. I am thrilled with my results and I am so glad that I decided to have the surgery. Without the help of Dr. Blome who knows what size I'd be now. It sure has kept me motivated and I love all the compliments that I get on how great I look."


Testi "I was unable to lose weight. I have always been active and exercised to keep the weight off. After having kids and a back injury I slowly added more weight. I had reached a point of total frustration. Then I saw a show on TV about liposuction. I asked my family doctor and he referred me to Dr. Blome. After the liposuction I went from a size 14 to a size 8. I lost 4 inches in my waste, 5 inches in my hips. I lost also 20 pounds. And I would do it again in a heart beat. The best decision I have ever made."

Testi "I came to see Dr. Blome and his staff because I was unhappy with the way I looked. I had some problem areas and it just seemed like I couldn't get rid of. I came in and I had liposuction. I would not change that experience for anything in the world. It was incredible. I have so much more confidence now with the way I look after the liposuction. Dr. Blome and his staff are incredible. If I was going to do it again I would come right back to the same place. Liposuction is great for anybody that has any sort of problem area that they can't get rid of on there own or if they just want the easy way out. And that is the easy way out. I would have it again if I see any other areas that I see that I might want it. I'd be more than happy to come back to Dr. Blome and his staff. Like I said they were absolutely incredible. They make you feel very comfortable. Liposuction was great for me and I hope it works for you."


Testi "I am 33 years old and I have 2 children. I had large breasts to begin with and after having the children I was very self conscious about my body. My breasts lowered a lot and my stomach was rather large and the muscles and the skin didn't go back the way they probably needed to. So I needed to come into Dr. Blome's office to look at a breast lift and liposuction for my abdomen area. I thought at first that this kind of thing was for people that had a lot of money or who were high profile. And as it turned out I had a family member come to me and tell me that she had breast surgery. And it was very successful. So I went and talk to Dr. Blome. He showed pictures and they looked great. And I got a lot of information. They were very supportive, very patient, and kind. And so I ended up having surgery, which was a great success. I was very pleased. The nurses at the hospital, everybody, from the beginning to the end were super. I'm very positive. I didn't have any trouble with anything. And so my clothes feel much better. I'm able to go down to about a 5 ½, on my way to 2 sizes. I feel a lot better about myself, who I am. I feel so much more confident. I'm wearing clothes that I never thought I'd be able to get into or even look appropriate in. So over all I was very, very pleased with the whole process. And I was very grateful for everyone. I am just much happier with who I am and how my body looks. It was definitely a life changing experience."

Testi "Having my breast reduction surgery was the best thing I could have ever done. No more back, neck, and shoulder pain. I was nervous at first but the pain was not bad at all. Of course there's a little discomfort but nothing compared to what I went through everyday before my surgery. Dr. Blome and his staff were helpful in every way. Everyday I wake up and I feel I am blessed to have had this surgery done. And I really feel like myself again."

Testi "I have recently undergone surgery for a bilateral breast reduction. I am 27 years old and have suffered with large breast since I was a teenager. I decided to seek the medical opinion of Dr. Blome for help. During my consultation I was informed by having the procedure it would alleviate back, shoulder, and neck pain. I made the decision to go forth with the surgery. My recovery has gone exceptionally well. Not only do I feel a lot better physically, but mentally as well. I have a lot more confidence with my appearance and I feel natural. Dr. Blome and his staff have done an excellent job. They are caring and very patient. I am very happy with my results and would do it all over again if needed. Dr. Blome is an expert in his field and a perfectionist at what he does. He strives to get the absolute best results possible, which is very comforting."

Testi "I was very interested in having a breast reduction, years ago, but never did have it done. A friend of mine had it done about 8 years ago and referred me to Dr. Blome, who's a wonderful surgeon. I came to see him in May and in July, in June, I had my surgery. I never had one problem, no pain, no nothing. He is a wonderful Dr. And anybody that has any back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain should definitely have a breast reduction. It works. I have had no pain since. I have had no problems what so ever. Everything has been wonderful."


Testi "I'm 51 years old. I have 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and I just recently had a second breast augmentation. My first breast implants, about 20 years ago, were done by a plastic surgeon in another state. My experience the first time was much different from my experience the second time. The first time I went in for an initial consultation and it was very cut and dry. The surgery went fine and I was very pleased just to have larger breasts but I did develop encapsulations and scar tissue. I had breasts that felt kind of like tennis balls. They were very hard and didn't look very real, no cleavage. And I didn't have any follow up appointments. Visiting Dr. Blome's office, I originally came to get some Botox injections in some wrinkled areas that I had on my forehead. I really got to know the staff and Dr. Blome. I felt very comfortable with them and I also felt very confident in the quality of care that I that I was receiving. I had contemplated getting another set of breast implants because I just felt very dissatisfied with my original set of implants. Talked to Dr. Blome about it, he did sit down with me. He showed me slides of before and after, young people, people my age and what the after results were. And I really thought, "Oh my gosh there's a huge difference and I may be able to change the appearance of my breasts." So I did schedule a surgery. And I was nervous. And he made me feel totally confident that everything was going to go perfectly. And after surgery I felt perfectly fine. I had very little pain. The first time that I saw my new breast implants, I thought, "oh my gosh this is so different these look real." They look totally natural. They feel totally natural. I'm so pleased with them and I'm so pleased with the care that I'd received. And Dr. Blome is a perfectionist. I really believe that you cannot tell the difference between mine and natural breasts. They feel very soft. There is no hardness and you cannot feel an outline of an implant. They look totally natural and they have really increased my self confidence, at an age where you start losing your self confidence and your looks. I feel terrific and I don't feel my age. And I would recommend this surgery for anybody."

Testi "I am 45 and I've been very self conscious about my small breasts, for quite a few years. Not only did I have small breasts but I also had a slight droop. And I always wanted something a little fuller and have some lift. I was very apprehensive about putting on a bathing suit and always felt like a little boy. I had Breast augmentation about 3 months ago and I'm thrilled with the results. My breasts are very natural looking and only those of my close friends who I have chosen to share the info with would even know that I had my breasts done. I feel very comfortable in a bathing suit now and feel very comfortable in my clothing."

Testi "I am 50 years old and I had breast augmentation 6 weeks ago. When I first came into Dr. Blome's office I was really nervous and I was self conscious. But he and his staff made me feel so much as ease so quickly. I'd been thinking of having breast enlargement for a very long time but I never seriously thought I would be able to have it done. Taking that first step and making my first appointment was difficult but after the initial visit everything came much easier. I took my husband with me. He wasn't really happy about the whole idea at first but meeting the doctor and talking openly about what was going to happen helped him to understand. And he felt more comfortable too, which meant a lot to me. I couldn't have gone along through with the surgery if he wasn't o.k. with everything. My recovery has been fast. I was back to work after a weeks vacation. I look and feel so much more confident. My clothes fit so much better and my husband and I have never been closer. I hope that anyone who's considered breast augmentation would make an appointment for a consultation and get the facts. Dr. Blome and his staff have been wonderful and supportive for me the whole time. I couldn't be happier with my decision and my husband couldn't either."
