I was very pleased with the whole experience from my first visit to the follow-up visits after the surgery. I was surprised at the brief recovery time involved with the procedure (short scar face lift with liposuction contouring) and the immediate results I noticed. Couldn't be happier with my new neck.

What Dr. Kane, his wife, and the staff have done for me is remarkable. I am able to look at myself in my mirror. I have so much more confidence that I'll no longer hang my head. I feel wonderful, beautiful, and like a model. Bottom line is words can not express the way I feel and what Dr. Kane, his wife and staff have done for me both inside and out. Again, thank you so very much.

From the very beginning everyone I have come in contact with in the office has been very pleasant and helpful. A couple of times I called with a question or concern both before and after my surgery; I always got an answer and never got the impression that what I was asking was not important. Dr. Kane has always taken his time during my visits and never felt as though he was in a hurry to see the next patient. I'm glad I had my surgery (facial threadlift and neck suspension with lipocontouring) and am very pleased with the results.

Thank you Dr. Dean and Lauri Kane. Forty years ago I was in an auto accident. My face was badly damaged. I had a broken jaw and shattered cheek bone. I finally decided to seek help for my problem and I found Dr. Kane. He and Lauri suggested that I have a mini-facelift, which I agreed to and am so glad that I did. What a difference in my face! Not only did it repair the damage but the face lift got rid of wrinkles and sagging skin. After the surgery, I was up and out the next day. I strongly recommend this type of surgery. The facility is very beautiful and the staff is great. Thanks again Dr. Dean, Lauri and the staff.

Dear Dr. Kane:

Ever since my son was born 32 years ago, I have not been able to get rid of my stomach. No amount of exercising or dieting would eliminate the fact that my stomach just kind of "hung" there. I might mention that this was also a trait with all of the women in my family, e.g., my sister, mother, grandmother, etc. For years I listened to my grandmother, mother, sister and even myself bemoan our fate. We all have a tendency to be obese and we all have played the yo-yo game, you know the one, you lose a tremendous amount of weight only to put it all back and then some. In my lifetime, I have lost at least 60 lbs. four different times. As you can imagine, each time added to the disgusting amount of skin left hanging that was supposed to be my stomach. While I was able to keep the weight off for considerable period of time, invariably, back it came. I was NEVER able to wear the "in" clothes such as the high French cut underwear or bathing suits. I loved it when the style for pants became pleated – that hid a ton of sins! We've all heard this story over and over again.

I am over 50 years old now but am simply not about to count myself as old or over the hill. I've still got a LOT to offer. One day I was discussing with my husband how very badly I felt about my stomach and he agreed that it was not a pretty sight and went on to say "Well, why don't you do something about it?" I had toyed with the idea in the back of my mind for years but never actually thought that he would go along with the idea. What's worse, I didn't have the courage to even ask him much less to actually do anything about it. I was so shocked when he said that, I couldn't think how to really go about it fast enough.

I began the question everyone and check the Internet. I visited three difference Doctors, questioned them all and even asked my regular physician if he thought I was crazy. He stated that obviously, I had given this a lot of thought and that I should go for it. That is all I needed to hear!

As you know, I ultimately ended up not only having a "tummy tuck" but a "body lift". I didn't tell very many people what I was going to do for fear of criticism and well-meaning busy bodies trying to talk me out of it. Thus, I went back to work and pretended to have lost more weight over a lengthy holiday (I had already intentionally lost about 60 lbs. just before the surgery). People simply could not get over how good I looked. There were comments about the new person who came to work there! Guys actually told me I was looking awfully "Svelte" these days. I didn't know guys actually knew and used that word! My brothers (also unknowing) were so amazed they kept saying I looked ten years younger! My sister (who does know) is constantly telling me how gorgeous I look but now she hates me! People are constantly stopping me to tell me how fabulous I look these days! What an ego booster!

I have to tell you that I am so grateful that I didn't let my very considerable fear stop me. I cannot get over the difference in the way I look and act. I look fabulous in many of the clothes I could never think of wearing before the surgery. Where shopping used to be a chore, it is quite a joy right now (of course, my husband won't thank you for that!).

While I was never the shy retiring type, I have so much more confidence that I can't get over how very different I act and feel at work. It is as though the sky is the limit! Things seem so much easier for me now.

It is so very true that when you know you look good, you feel good. There are no words that can express my gratitude and somehow a simple thank you does not seem adequate. Please accept this letter as a testimonial that you may share with other women who are uncertain and as fearful as I was. Once again, thank you for a new lease on life!

With Warmest Regards,
– MS, A most satisfied patient!

My name is Donna, I am 57 years old. I have always been comfortable with my size but not happy with my stomach. I tried the gym and after many dollars and several trainers, I realized this was not working for me. My husband and I discussed the option of having a tummy tuck and some liposuction. I was very frightened since I have never had any kind of operation before. I am so glad I had it done. It has improved my looks by getting rid of my stomach. It has also changed my mental outlook and the way I eat. My husband was very supportive and is happy with the results. He now calls me "string bean". My procedure was done in a hospital. I was given excellent care. My visits for my follow-up at the office were great due to the wonderful care and friendly staff. As far as Dr. Dean Kane, I can't say enough good things about the excellent reatment and care that was given. I am so grateful for no more stomach.

The beauty of the Thread Lift is that there are no tell-tale signs after a short recovery period. Friends know you look better but not why. I would much rather have people say, "gee she sure looks good for her age, than "well it's obvious she's had some cutting done!"

I would like to say that I feel and have been told that I look 15 years younger thanks to Dr. Kane and the Thread Lift and neck suspension procedures. I cannot thank Dr. Kane and his staff enough for all of their wounderful care and for making me feel very much at home in their beautiful surroundings. Dr. (Dean) Kane and Lauri Kane took their time in explaining the procedures and what to expect. I am thrilled with the outcome and my husband is even more thrilled! I would repeat the procedures in a heartbeat und Dr. Kane's care. Thank you so much for taking great care of me.

After researching to find the best doctor for me, I knew I made the right choice in finding Dr. Kane and his excellent staff. My first appointment was for BOTOX® Cosmetic injection. I loved it and I knew I'd be back for other treatments. My next big appointment was for liposuction of the buttocks and thigh area. Dr. Kane and his staff made me feel very comfortable and explained in detail what was going to happen. I was a bit anxious, as anyone would feel, but they helped me get through the healing process very easily. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend these professional and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back for future procedures. Thank you ALL so much. I feel so much better about myself.
– Peggy Triggs

The staff is very professional and helpful. Everyone keeps you on track with appointments and scheduling. Mrs. Kane is kind and very knowledgeable on almost everything in her husband's practice. Dr. Kane is gentle, kind and professional. He is clear and concerned about his patients, especially follow-up visits. Your desired effect is his main objective. I lost 10 pounds and exercise more! I love the work that they do here at HIHO (Healthy Image, Healthy Outlook; the Center for Cosmetic Surgery and MediSpa). I would recommend anyone who is thinking about liposuction or skin care, especially for African Americans.

Dr. Dean and Lauri Kane are the most wonderful professionals in the cosmetic surgery field I ever had the pleasure to meet. Both Dr. Dean and Lauri were dedicated to making sure I got the results I wanted. They kept my personal feelings on the highest level at all times, not to mention the (office) site is one of the most beautifully decorated centers of all. Dr. Dean's staff is very warm, friendly, considerate and very supportive. All in all, my breast augmentation was a wonderful experience that has given me excellent results and I am forever thankful to Dr. Dean, Lauri and their entire staff, as well as to my sister Kathy for recommending me to the most wonderful professionals in this field.

Always and forever,
– Deborah Short Buchanan

I would highly recommend Dr. Kane to any of my friends thinking of anti-aging treatments or cosmetic surgery. Dr. Kane and his staff explained very clearly my options before surgery. All my questions were satisfactorily answered along the way. I am glad Dr. Kane did my surgery; I am much happier now about my appearance.
– Dolores Hicks

What can I say? The before and after photos say it all. I looked haggard and now my face is smooth and beautiful - all thanks to your skill and perfection! People are amazed and continually tell me how good I look... and thinner too!! You are a kind and gentle man with an unexpected sense of humor that I enjoyed. Thank you for helping me feel better about my appearance. The office is beautiful, warm and inviting. All the staff are wonderful. They remember me when I come in and call me by name, which makes me feel special. I've given your name to several people; I only hope they actually follow through and come see you.

Fondly and sincerely,
– Cindy P. Fuller
