I found Dr. Rian through a recommendation of a client of mine. She had had the facial rebalancing done, and I thought she looked really fresh and pretty so I decided to go and try it for myself.
I went read more... to see doctor Rian 2 weeks ago and had 8 CC's of fillers administered for the facial balancing. We did the eye area, balanced out my nose, and my lips. My existing profile was uneven and unbalanced, and dr Rian gave me a pretty "liquid facelift" in about 45 minutes. In the beginning, I didn't want to do my eye area, but at his recommendation, I did, and I'm SO happy I listened to him! Only 2 weeks post procedure and I had a client tell me I look 23 (I'm 37)
The procedure is fast, and painless, but the swelling and bruising was pretty intense afterwards. Luckily for me, the girls at his office reached out and followed up throughout the days after my appointment, and assured me everything was normal, and I went back for follow ups at one week post, and 2 weeks post.
I listened to all of their instructions, and wore my ice mask as directed, and I think that really helped with all the swelling and bruising, (I read some other reviews on here, I think if you don't listen to their after care instructions, you would maybe have a slower healing time)
All in all, I'm very happy with my results, I have recommended dr Rian to many of my friends, I even have a friend going to see him today for the same procedure (she too, was so impressed!) Thank you Maercks Institute for making me 14 years younger!!
I was hesitant to get my breast implants replaced after 10 years as I knew I needed a breast lift as well. I was concerned of the experience of the Doctor ,scarring and achieving the outcome I read more... wanted. I had been searching for a very long time looking for the best doctor here locally & in Colombia as well deciding what technique was the best out there as I had my implants under the muscle and with the years it just lost shape and one deflated. Dr. Maercks technique made total sense as majority of doctors I met places implants behind muscle, which I already knew what would happen with time & that is what I was avoiding. Dr. Maercks places them on top with his technique and with the gummy bear implants he used were the best combination for my great natural looking breast. I totally love them! I didn't want to go too big. He really understood what I wanted, I trusted him and they could not have been any more perfect! I was terrified of scarring since I have had issues before and I'm about 7 weeks post and its healing beautiful. Another great thing was that I didn't have to wait months for the implants to fall into place as you would have to if they were placed behind the muscle, they were already in its position beautifully! I was also able to go back to the gym and not alter my exercise regimen just with caution. So If you are looking for the best doctor he definitely knows what he is doing and delivers amazing results. I am so happy all around even with the great attention from his staff that is always checking up on me, that makes the experience even more special.
I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Maercks at The Maercks Institute! So far I have had 2 procedures done and I am more than 100% satisfied! I was quite nervous committing to any procedure in the read more... beginning, but I never once felt pressured or hesitant! During my procedures, the doctor and his staff were both comforting and kind. Genuine people are hard to come by and I want to point out how valuable it is to find a practice like this! My results are exactly what was promised, natural and lasting! So far I have had a "photofacial" and "facial aesthetic sculpting" done and I am currently planning on going back for another appointment!
I could not have had a better experience getting my breast augmentation with Dr. Rian Maercks. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and he exudes warmth. He actually fixed a Miami boob job read more... gone wrong for me. The results....PHENOMENAL. The techniques he uses are so special that I barely felt any post surgery pain. And best of all...I did not think my breasts had the potential to look this AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a top notch surgeon who will be kind and supportive every step of the way and give you gorgeous result, well, look no further!!!! And, I would be amiss if I didn't mention how kind and helpful Jaymie and Krystal were. The whole team is exceptional.
