Khristy Wilson

Completely happy with my Smart Lipo results. He is a great Doctor and would recommend him to everyone!!! Many thanks to him and his staff. They are the best!!!!

Ed Gonzalez

I have to admit I LOVE the new me. I constantly go to the gym and could never get specific areas to disappear. Well with Dr B and his staff making you feel comfortable from beginning to end it was a breeze with little to no downtime which was key in making my decision. Highly recommend, thank you!!

I had tumescent lipo in 1995 by a great plastic surgeon. The after effects of bruising, anesthesia and more were awful for more than a week, possibly 2. I decided to have a ‘touch up’ on a few areas from way back then but didn’t want scars or to feel horrible again. Dr Bergeron and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Dr Bergeron explained the procedure and how there would be no anesthesia and I could not imagine how! To my surprise everything was pretty easy. Not pain free but barable. Not to Mention zero slices of scars where the cannula was inserted. They were tiny holes that I can’t even find now (bc the cannula is tiny). 3 months out and I am happy with the results. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try it! His bedside manner was awesome. He constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable. You are given 3 different medications; one for pain, one for nausea, and one for calming. You start taking arnica a few days before the procedure to help with bruising. I was barely bruised at all (I bruise very easily). I couldn’t believe it! He is a perfectionist and if something bothers you speak up, he will tell you exactly what he thinks and why. If you want something quick with little (2-3 days, maybe) downtime then this is for you!

I am a 48 year-old educator. I requested and received upper arms sculpt liposuction. I have have saggy arms (bat wings) as a part of my physicality since my teenage years, in spite of being a life long healthy eater and exerciser. I am giving Dr. Bergeron office, himself and all of his staff, my highest rating. My first visit, and follow-ups were excellent, My scheduled surgery was executed simply, quickly, and hygienically with obvious expertise. I am so happy with the results. I can see the difference. Being confident, and pleased when I look at this area of my physical body (instead of miserable and embarrassed) means so much to me!

As a podiatrist physician I have difficulty trusting physicians and surgeons, and I did a lot of research before I make my decision for choosing dr. Bergeron for my laser lipo. Dr. Bergeron was very professional, did a thorough pre-op exam and a wonderful job on my surgery and I have been very happy with the results. I live in NYC and I was not able to follow up for my post-op appointments but he properly followed up with me and called to check on the results at the first and third month. I highly recommend him. Thank you!

I went to see Dr Bergeron in 2007. I procrastinated until June of this year. I just finished my follow up after 2 and a half months and saw the before and after pictures. I didnt realize how large I was until I saw the side by side comparison. I am pretty active outdoors and was back out fishing and cruising on my boat within 10 days. I cant believe the difference Dr. B. made in my appearance and my confidence. I would recommend him to anyone considering having lipo done. His pre and post op manner are fantastic and his staff is great too.

I am pleased with my results ...

Kimberly Yuill

I have had multiple procedures done with Dr. Bergeron. I could not be more impressed with my results. A huge ordeal for me is feeling comfortable and welcomed by the staff which was and has been over the top every single time. I couldn't feel more at home than I do there. Most importantly the final results of my procedures have been more than expected and way over the top. I would recommend Dr. B to anyone who is interested in smart lipo. It has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made and will continue to use him through out the years.

Leticia Hernandez

I was doing my research to get a procedure done and I found out that he is not board certified! Everyone do your research!

Glenda Lee

I NEVER had any type of procedure like this done but I am SO Happy that I took a leap of faith and had it done. I had SmartLipo on my back, sides and stomach area. I am EXTREMELY happy with my results. From the Doctor to ALL the Office Staff were amazingly Friendly and down to Earth. Dr. Bergeron was very professional and explained the procedure and after care bery thoroughly. In the actual procedure, he made sure I was okay and was very thorough and made sure everything was done perfect. Once I started healing, I definitely saw the amazing results and they only got better from week to week. Going back and seeing where I started from at my 3 month follow-up, really brought tears to my eyes because I FINALLY saw the body that I have been working to get with exercise and clean eating. Now I can REALLY be motivated to hit the gym because I can actually SEE the results!! Thank you Dr. Bergeron and Staff!!

I went to see Dr. Bergeron with a unique situation. I had been experiencing a lot of swelling in my lower legs due to Lipedema. I'm not a skinny person and I do need to lose about 30 pounds to be happy, but in this case, dieting nor exercise helps the situation. My only option was to try the Smartlipo to correct some of the disproportion in my calves to help with circulation. Not knowing whether or not it would help, I went for it. I have no regrets! The procedure was super easy for me. My healing time was practically nothing. Other than some bruising and sensitivity to touch, I was back to normal activity in a day. Yes, my legs look more normal than they ever have and now they are no longer swelling in the evenings. I would recommend doing this if you are experiencing anything like this. Lipedema is no joke. I had dealt with this hereditary problem too long. I am beyond please with Dr. Bergeron's office staff and professionalism. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I was well taken care of before, during and after the procedure. I wasn't sure about the pain factor of a procedure like this but now that it is done, I can rate it a 3-4 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are not put completely under during the procedure, you are given something to relax you and then local injections for numbing the area. It was weird being able to see what they were doing, so I opted to close my eyes and listen to Adele in my ear buds. I felt like the procedure lasted forty-five minutes. But, my husband informed me afterwards that it had been more like almost three hours start to finish. I guess the medication worked more than I thought:) In closing, I have a plan to lose those thirty extra pounds, pay off my lipo and then go back for some additional help in other places :) If you are on the fence about whether or not to do the Smartlipo procedure for one reason or another, I can speak for someone that has had it done on the inner side of my knees down to my ankles, and I would say do it! I know i'd do it again!

Britta Butler

Great experience and wonderful staff! Loved my results

Alma Garcia

If possible, I would give 10 stars! Amazing staff! Excellent customer service. Always very welcoming. Betty, Elicia, Dr. B, Susan, thank you all very much.

Andrew MacDonald

Great and friendly atmosphere. Professional staff and Dr. Good experience, aftercare and results!

My experience with Dr Bergeron exceeded all of my expectations! He explained in detail what to expect during the surgery. The fact that there is NO anesthesia was a huge plus. I also inquired about an additional surgery, but Dr. Bergeron did not feel that I would not be a candidate. His honesty made me more confident that Dr. Bergeron was the Dr. for me. I had smart lipo on my upper, lower abs, and hips. Two weeks later I had smart lipo on my inner and outer thighs. I was a bit nervous about the two procedures being so close together, but it was a very easy recovery for both. With any surgery, I was concerned about the pain level, but I was extremely comfortable during the surgery. I'd say very minimal to no pain. Dr. Bergeron was very caring and constantly checking to make sure that I was ok during the procedures. I also have to commend his staff. They were great, during the consult and the surgery. I can't wait to see the final results on my 3 month check up. On a side note. I'm 61, and did not expect to see such wonderful results. If you are considering lipo, I urge you to see Dr. Bergeron for a consult. I could not be more pleased with my experience!

This was my first time to have any surgery of any kind, so I was a little nervous. The staff here was awesome! Everyone was no nice and comforting. Answered all my questions and concerns. I had the smartlipo done on my neck and jaw line. The price was very reasonable compared to other places and it included everything. There were no other hidden fees. Dr Bergeron was wonderful! I love my results! It was a subtle change but very noticeable to me and the people who know me. Highly recommended!!

I recently had a procedure on my abdomen (lower and upper) and flanks and the results are nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Bergeron and his experienced team of professionals provide a superb level of surgical accuracy and detail. The procedure was performed by Dr. Bergeron using the latest technology and equipment found at the Houston Liposuction Center. Dr. Bergeron and his team are talented and are well versed in the procedure(s) and can fully answer any questions or concerns you might have. Dr. Bergeron has a genuine and sincere interest in your results. I had three follow-up visits to check on the areas performed. The visits were scheduled for the next day and at the two week and three month time periods after the procedure. There was no charge for these office visits. I found the procedure costs to be fair and reasonable for the areas of work done. If you are considering having a procedure, or just want to know more about liposuction in general, I highly recommend the Houston Liposuction Center.

Jacqueline Spears

I wanted to get my arms done but after reading a few reviews I've changed my mind..If I'm paying my hard earned money I expect perfect results!! But Thanks for the honest reviews

Kylie R

Had a procedure completed about a year ago (waited to review to verify results). Results are fantastic and lasting with no scarring! The staff is friendly, attentive and make you feel very comfortable. Dr. Bergeron listens and understands your wants and then comes up with a plan to meet your requests. This is not a rush procedure. He takes his time to ensure that everything is smooth and even. Cannot recommend this facility enough!

Coty Werner

I am somewhat petite, however I had what I considered a slight muffin top in my lower back area when I wore my jeans. Dr. Bergeron explained what he considered the best course of action and did not promise perfection however the outcome was better than I had expected. Only one day of down time and most importantly to me, I do not remember feeling any discomfort during the procedure. Results were not immediate, but within two weeks I loved it, no more bulge above my jeans in the back! I would highly recommend Dr. Bergeron and Houston Liposuction Center.

Cathy Sanchez

Betty, Dr. John Bergeron, Esther, and Rachel were all extremely helpful, knowledgeable about their services and what to expect, answered all my questions, and were available for any and all concerns I had. The process was so smooth and easy, I can’t stress how wonderful the experience was. The results are beyond amazing and I know I definitely made the right decision going with Dr. Bergeron for my procedure!

Shayna Andrews

I had the best experience ever when I went for a Cool Sculpt consultation. Lori Lemon Bergeron is a delight to work with. She had me show her the areas where I wanted to have treatment, and she actually told me that I wouldn’t be a good candidate for the procedure. She took the time to explain to me that what I was seeing was not fat and that it was actually skin that had lost its elasticity. A less ethical business person could have easily roped me into spending thousands of dollars on something that would have yielded minimal results, if any. Instead she sent me away and earned a loyal customer for other procedures in the future. Thank you, Lori!!

I went in to have lipo on my arms by Dr. Bergeron and had a lot of questions as to how my arms would look after the procedure was done. Basically I was assured that my arms were perfect candidates for the procedure and it would look "amazing". Not only that but I was nervous about the pain level and I was told that it was minimal. Being a newcomer to the plastic surgery world, I trusted that the doctor would not steer me the wrong way so I went ahead with the procedure. Long story short, not only was the procedure excruciatingly painful (I was in tears the ENTIRE time of the procedure and it was so painful that my blood pressure went so low that they almost called an ambulance) but my arms look HORRIBLE now, worse than they did before the surgery! How were my arms "perfect candidates" if this is the way they would turn out? :'( They are dimply and uneven and I have big sockets of fat near my arm pit which he was supposed to remove. I cried so bad the first time I saw them and when I went back I was reassured that it would smooth out. I wore that stupid brace thing for 3 months trying to smooth out my arms and nothing changed. And to put the icing on the cake, not only do my arms not look any smaller but, I had a follow up visit that I needed to schedule but decided to not even go back because they had already told me that I would have to pay for "touch ups" to fix the dimples and their office hasn't even called to check on me to this day, 4 months later. I received a horrible job on my arms, horrible experience during the procedure and horrible after care. This whole experience has been a joke and I would pay $3000 all over again just to turn back the hands of time.

I went to see Dr. Bergeron to find about smart lipo for my stomach and love handles. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional. I have had three appointments and have never had to wait! How is this possible? The procedure was just as it explained to me. I am a needle phobic person and other than one small prick at the beginning of the procedure I felt virtually nothing. He did write me a prescription for pain pills and I did have it filled but never felt the need to take it, only had to take one Aleve the day after. The compression garment got very uncomfortable during the second week. I goggled the need for the compression garment after Lipo and found out that it is very necessary. I am glad I followed his directions. I am 71 and I never had a weight problem but I developed a lot of fat around my midsection due to the stress of taking care of my mother who had Alzheimer's. If you are thinking about doing this procedure for any reason I would highly recommend that you see Dr. Bergeron! He is kind, caring and gentle. The bonus to all of this is that I did not have anything done to my waist but it is more defined now. I couldn't believe that he wants me to come back in two months for my "after pictures". I thought I looked great today! Dr. Bergeron is kind caring and gentle

Kimberly Moss

Dr. Bergeron and his staff are truly amazing! I recently had a procedure done and I could not be happier. The procedure was minimally invasive and there was very little pain or discomfort. The recovery time is very short for me and I was able to see a difference right away. They treated me like more like a family member than a patient. If you are considering a procedure like smart lipo, please look no further! I strongly recommend Dr. Bergeron. He is extremely caring and professional. My confidence has been restored.

Tina Williams

I HIGHLY recommend this program. I am a 49 year old woman who began going to Houston Weight Loss Center on March 29th, 2012 at 206 lbs. I did not want to spend another summer just watching everyone having a good time. I followed the plan exactly how it was laid out for me by the staff at the Clear Lake Center. I am now 146 lbs!! My official weigh in is on the 25th of Sept so I'll get back to you then!!! you can look at my profile and see the before after.

Angelia Garland

I really love my results. I constantly go to the gym, eat healthy and some areas I have NEVER liked and some seem to be very stuborn. Dr Bergeron and his staff are wonderful and gives solid advice and makes you feel comfortable. I returned to the gym the next day with light workout. I highly recommend and will be returning soon for next areas of concern. Thank you!!

emely mcconnell

The procedure and recovery went exactly as stated. When the swelling went away the results were even more dramatic. I am happy and my husband likes the results and was a bit pesamistic about me going in for this, I did this for me and the fact he likes the results makes me feel even younger and prettier. Thank you Dr. John and staff you are all amazing!!

Mary W

I had laser lipo done - arms, back, and upper + lower abdomen- Dr. Burgeron & his staff made me feel like I was in great hands from start to finish! My results look amazing and I so glad I went through with the procedure:)

Deedra Allen

Dr. B and his staff are such a fantastic group of individuals! From start to finish they were always so kind, attentive and informative. Having this procedure was the best decision I’ve ever made. Little to no downtime and my results have far exceeded my expectations

Marilynn Barber

He's the best! My neck was starting to go "turkey" and in one hour he defined it with with the liposuction and tightened the skin with the laser. I could see the final effect that evening. It takes 6 months for total healing, but after 2, it's just terrific. I was back to work on Monday. No pain, no problems. Most of all, he knew exactly what I wanted him to define and I look and feel thinner. I immediately started dieting so I could continue to work on the leaner me. His experience is obvious and the office procedure was as easy as you could ever imagine. My recommendation to you is to stop buying all those creams with false promises and start saving for this - it's EXACTLY what you want. Don't ever feel "bad about your neck" again!! REALLY!

Phyllis C

I came to Dr. Bergeron to get rid of stubborn belly fat i had been working on for a couple of years of crunching, clean eating (which can last for so long) and other excercising. My results are wonderful and very sexy i must add and worth every penny. My clothes fit better. I dont have that belly overlap when sitting. Healing time was very good for me And not a lot of pain. Dr. B and his staff are very professional and very good at what they do. His office is super pleasant. I would recommend him to all. He is that good.

I walked in chubby and walked out looking like a rockstar!!!

Steve Flynn

I went in for a consultation with Dr. Bergeron last week and he was very busy but yet attentive. He gave me all the information in the world about my procedure that I was interested in. He made sure all of my questions were answered before I left. I had my surgery with him yesterday and I was back at work today. I never had to take one pain pill and I'm so so happy with my results. I give Dr. Bergeron a 5 star!!

Ivette

Dr. Bergeron, Needs more stars. My experience from the consultation to the procedure was so calming. The beautiful people who work their were so professional and sweet. Dr. Bergeron was AMAZING ! He always made sure i was comfortable through everything. He has changed my life. Mentally and emotionally. Thank you Dr. Bergeron :)

Jennifer Talley

Loved loved loved my results even after 2 weeks. AND a HUGE ty to Dr. Bergeron and his staff for thorough pre procedure testing. Thanks to them I found out I had hypothyroidism and was able to get to a specialist to get help.
