I had awake chin liposuction with Dr. Hernandez and had such a great experience. The staff was so sweet, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I have seen some reviews mention that the procedure was painful, and while I’m not discrediting anyone else’s experience, I think a lot of that comes from the numbing process. You obviously can’t already be numb before the numbing injections, so that’s the one part where you’ll feel some sharpness and stinging. That part was over quickly, and Dr. Hernandez made sure I was completely numb and comfortable before starting the actual procedure. I was actually so relaxed during the procedure that I kept drifting off to sleep. Throughout the procedure they handed me a stress ball, checked on me, and gave me words of encouragement, which really helped me feel relaxed. Dr. Hernandez was reassuring, precise, and clearly very experienced, and I always felt like I was in good hands. The procedure went by much faster than I expected, and I already know it’s going to be so worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.
