From the reviews
Posted are two photos before surgery and two photos 3 months after surgery. I had surgery with Dr. Markelov four months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I’m completely thrilled with my fat transfer breast augmentation by Dr. Markelov I am eight weeks post-op, I have completed my final post appointment. I’m head over heels for the results!
I highly recommend Dr. Markelov and team for lipedema awake liposuction. Even before I went for my first consultation, they emailed me tons of information to read through and videos to watch so that I could be fully prepared. Dr.
After living with lipedema symptoms for more than 15 years—through puberty, pregnancy, and adulthood—I am finally at a place where I feel relief, confidence, and hope. I am now 7 months post-op from lower leg liposuction for stage 1 lipedema, and the difference is not just visible, it’s physical and emotional.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
