Hi Gisela, Thank you so much for your positive feedback, we really appreciate it! We are so excited for you to see your final results.
He is a genius and an all-round amazing guy. He listens to what you want (with no judgement) then explains how it can be achieved. No bs, no pretense. If he doesn’t think you’re a candidate for that surgery, he won’t do it and he’ll recommend what’s right for you (even if it means sending you somewhere else). He is intelligent, ethical, and a true master. I was insecure about my jawline for my entire life. He knew exactly what to do and he transformed my profile. The procedure took only a few hours, it was all done in office, I had no pain (took a Tylenol that night and then had no pain the next day onward). He follows up throughout. We live in a fast food world where everything has become transactional…Dr. Sterry is the opposite. He cares. He takes pride in his work. I recommend him with all my heart—happy to answer questions anyone has about what I had done (mini neck lift, buccal fat removal, chin and cheek lipo).
Dr Sterry is a master at his work. He is honest, detailed, and never pushes for unnecessary procedures. He staff always makes you feel like you are at home and extremely accommodating for questions and appointments.
Neck/Chin Lipo Liposuction - Fixing hereditary fat bulge I am starting the consultation for the removal of the fat under chin. It has bothered me for many years and I want to rid of it asap. I am certain that this is hereditary and I do not want to have it worsen with age. I hate my profile. I hate not seeing my jaw line ever. I'm not severely overweight but my chin makes me seem that way. I want it gone for good! Just had my chin/neck lipo. I am a little worried though about the outcome. I took Xanax before the procedure and was all set and mentally ready. The procedure started and things progressed with it pretty quickly I did feel slight tickling because I have always had a sensitive neck area and would never even let Drs really touch to examine my thyroid. It got worse as the procedure went along and I started to panic with the sensation of the device hitting my windpipe in my neck a little. Dr was a little frustrated with me as I kept moving my arms and hands and tensing up and he was worried I would mess him up. I read this energy of his and actually got to tears. This was at the last stage of the lipo when he was suctioning the center area. The worst part of the chin actually and I heard him say that the tears affected the sanitized area and shortly after he stopped it. and that was when I was super worried it was not officially done with. That it was stopped prematurely. I asked the nurse and she told me it happens to not worry and that I was pretty much done at that point. but I'm worried he may have done a few more extra passes to make sure it was all clear. So we just have to see. I was given a compression head wrap and I'm not supposed to remove it for a few days. I'm also on oxycodone for pain. Can't really be proud yet of the results. Too swollen! Hope this goes down soon, kinda down on the results so far :'( I definitely think by the 2nd week I'll be able to show an improved jawline but right now this doesn't look much different from the starting point. At two and a half weeks, the swelling has come down and bruises have all faded away. There are lumps and bumps I try to smooth with light massage a few times a day. The area in middle where bulge is still is quite puffy, which I do not like, and is numb and has loss of sensation. Feels like it's asleep most of the time and its the numb feeling/loss of circulation feeling pronounced when I wake up first thing. I feel that once I wake in AM I am most puffy too. I wear the wrap all night and parts of the day still. I bought a foam pad to insert in my strap to compress that bulge. I really hope that disappears. Here are some of the side views @ three weeks. I am still not confident with the bulge in the middle and still hope that this is mostly just residual swelling and not left over fat. I will be majorly upset if this doesn't diminish. So, I had the final post-op visit in late July, it went well but I was still a little frustrated about the neck bulge then. I'm wondering if I lose the weight it will dimish and disapear. He said that fat is likely in a deeper layer under muscle but to me it does not feel that way. I feel like he just stopped short and wasn't able to suck all of it out the middle area. It is sad. If I am still unhappy I think I will eventually go under the knife a second time and have that pocket of fat removed.
Dr.Sterry is an amazing doctor and his staff has been very helpful and friendly! I've been struggling and disappointed with an old forearm scar and I'm glad I came to the right place for a scar revision. Dr.Sterry and his team has been so accommodating guiding me every step of this process and can't wait for the final results. All I can say is I def recommend him and Thank You so much!!
Amazing doctor and staff, friendly compassionate and professional, Dr Sterry is amazing and knows his work, I will recommend him to everyone I know for his work and care.Shondel

Thank You so much for the kind words, Shondel!
Great results. Very professional. Very personable.. Thanks to Dr. Sterry and his staff.
I came in for a micro-cannula of cheeks about 3 months ago. I can't stress how wonderful this whole experience has been. Dr. Sterry and his staff are so welcoming and friendly and always there for you if you have any concerns. I came in for my 3 month post-op photos yesterday and the results look so incredible. Photos are one thing but what this procedure has done for my confidence is unmeasurable. Could not thank Dr. Sterry and his staff enough!! Truly a team you can trust for any concerns.
