I had the pleasure of getting liposuction of the abdominals, lower and upper back, as well as my arms. I chose Dr. Ditesheim because of his extensive and specialty work with liposuction and his different methods. I met with about a dozen different plastic surgery doctors who offered liposuction in various cities, but Dr. Ditesheim specialized in it and had more than one method depending on the person. This was a no brainer for me. I could not be happier with the results or the team at Ditesheim Cosmetic. They were with me every step of the way, prepared me perfectly, and were always available via text or call. I will go back to him and recommend him highly!
