"I have never walked into an aesthetic clinic where staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I received injectables by Anahi and Teanna, who were both very informative. They answered all my questions and made sure to listen to any concerns I had. I also got to meet Dr. Balgobin for a consultation. He was super attentive and professional! He was able to give me a few options on correcting some things I did not like from a previous procedure done by a different surgeon. I will definitely be back for more injectables and an awake procedure soon!"

However with this filler my goal is coming more realistically now. My experience was definitely 100 stars. The staff was really welcoming and he is just so smooth you nearly do not feel the needle l. I am most definitely going in for my second round and I cannot wait !!!! My picture is 2nd day post-op."

It’s soft and the placement is perfect! I’ve had a BBL in the past, and this is the perfect compliment to those are areas where the fat dies. I will definitely be using Dr. Balgobin for more services."
"If you truly desire an amazing experience from pre-to postop, then I highly recommend Arijai. The staff is very helpful and the recovery home care is absolutely the best care I have experienced. Huge thanks to the nurses Dani and Kodie. And a special thanks to Sherrell at the recovery home. She is absolutely the best Caregiver. And I highly recommend lymphatic massage by Mari. Many blessings to you all! Sincerely,"
"Absolutely loved my experience from the airport pickup, recovery house, and the whole surgery process. I felt comfortable the whole time and Dr. B bedside manner was unmatched. He and his nurses answered all of my questions even after my recovery stay and I was back in my home state. I am truly thankful for this new found confidence. 10/10 will definitely recommend"
"Love the doctor and the staff! Libby at the front desk is helpful with all my scheduling needs!"
"I can NOT begin to express my boundless gratitude to Dr. B and ALL of his team. It started with the receptionist being so kind and friendly and going beyond the norm to get me squeezed in. Then along comes the wonderful Katie going over and beyond to accommodate my 2 day rush request. Katie worked after hours to get me ready to take my flight 2 days later. I arrived at the very nice and SUPER clean office and I met the BEST surgical nurse in the whole wide world, Danielle, I love her. She could tell I was nervous and anxious and she was so patient with me and EXTRA understanding. Dr. B. Dr. B Dr. B, the most extraordinary bedside manner in the history of time. He is so knowledgeable and honest and he made me feel so safe and comfortable. My experience was amazingly wonderful and I can’t wait to go back next month."
"Libby at the front desk is amazing and so is Dani. I look forward to seeing them both at my visits. Libby is so sweet looks amazing. I love that she’s near my age group and looks freaking amazing. It reassures me that women not in their 20’s are still gorgeous and sexy. Thanks for representing Libby!!!! Dani does an amazing job at keeping me looking younger thank you !!"
"Dr. B is a brilliant surgeon! He addressed all my concerns to help me achieve my desired outcome. He prayed with me before my procedure that spoke volumes his integrity and the man who he is. Dr. B your bedside manner put me at ease and much appreciated. The staff (Danni, Katy & Kody) at Arijai went above and beyond to help me through the process. Lastly, I cannot forget to shout out Ms. Edna at the Recovery House. Moma can throw down with the cooking. She was extremely patient and attentive to my needs. I am so blessed and grateful to have met these wonderful people."
"Dr bbl is amazing ! He’s great at what he does knows what he’s doing , I had very very indented hips they are pretty much fixed with just one round of permafill he was honest about what I should expect and heard my concerns before anything"
"I always look forward to my treatments! Alexis gives amazing facials and Dani is an expert at injections and fillers. And their staff is very helpful and courteous with bookings, payments, and helping you learn more about your treatments."
"Quick consult that was straight forward and done very quickly from the time I submitted an inquiry. Email instructions were thorough and front desk staff/nurses were all very pleasant and answered all my questions. Dr. B made me feel confident and comfortable before surgery. I could not be more happy with my results and I would do it again every time over with Dr. B and his amazing staff!"
"Everyone here is amazing!! Friendly people. Professional environment. My needs are continuously met when coming here."
"Not only was the whole office amazing, they went above and beyond to make sure to answer all my questions, concerns and make me feel so comfortable! Dr. Balgobin was so personable. He actually calls you to do your consult and makes sure all your questions are answered. The nursing staff is amazing! From pre-op to post-op! They took great care of me and was very detailed in what to expect. They made sure hubby had everything he needed to take care of me for post care! I can not say enough great things about this crew! If I could give them a 100/10 I would! Thank you Arija for this new body!"
"PREOP- Lipo 360 w J plasma Sept'23 - Excited (and nervous) to be getting Lipo360 this fall with Dr. BBL. I thought of traveling to NYC or FL, but was glad to find him here!! I have 3 kids and am very busy with them. Staying in shape has been hard, especially after my last son. I am ready like yesterday!!"
"I was quite impressed with Arijai Aesthetics!! The facility is clean and chic!! The staff is very friendly and welcoming!! I have met with both Nicole and Dr. B, and both of them were very thorough during both of my consults. I have had Nicole perform some services for me, and she is beyond amazing!! I am also having Dr. B perform some services for me, and I am really looking forward to working with him!!"
"I’ve seen Tracie from the beginning of my lip filler journey. I cant say enough great things about her and the job she does! She’s kind, caring, and thoughtful regarding the work she does for you. Your opinion matters and she’s willing to give her expert opinion and provide feedback on what she may think is best. If you need someone, GO TO TRACIE!"
"Where do I start Dr BBL is very nice and polite gentleman I felt very safe with him .Melissa and Tara were awesome and made sure they were on top of everything in timely manner. The recovery house is awesome felt like home very clean , quiet, and peaceful. Tamika is a wonderful person inside out she made sure I was always good I appreciate it so much knowing I’m coming from another state. I highly recommend Dr BBL to anyone thank you so much for everything you do!!! I will definitely keep in touch ❤️"
"(360 Lipo only) I absolutely loved my experience here from beginning to end! My phone consultation was direct and to the point because I had already decided that I was going with Dr. Balgobin after researching his work and experience for the past 2 years. The staff was very friendly, informative, and supportive of all my needs. When I arrived the day of surgery, there was not a waiting room crowded with people waiting for a procedure like there is at other facilities. Dr. B Was completely honest with me about my expected results and did not gaslight me to add on additional procedures. My post op appointments were attentive as well. Tara and Danielle were both great and Dr.B himself attended my post op follow up as well. So far I am loving my results and they are exceeding my expectations! I chose the right place!"
"Great place to get gifts for your girlfriend very friendly staff helped with sizes and design"
"CANNOT say enough good things about Dr. B! He listens to god patients and takes the time to provide thorough explanations. I have no doubt that Dr. B really cares about his patients. The approach he is taking to manage my thyroid has made a world of difference to both my physical and mental health. I wish he was a general practitioner so I could see him for more services! No words can truly express my high recommendations!"
"Tracie is the BEST!! I had decided to have Sculptra & Plasma put into my face. I was so nervous, because I wasn’t sure what the outcome would be. She made me feel at ease and my results are absolutely amazing. I look 10 years younger! She’s very particular and doesn’t rush through the appointment. Shes also a huge sweetheart. Thank you for making me a better version of myself! ❤️"
"I can’t describe how happy I am with the results. The doctor and everyone I worked with was so nice and patient. The recovery is not easy, but they will always answer you if you have any concerns. I called Dan crying knowing she can’t do anything, but still she was nice to listen to me and make me feel better. Libby, I can’t say enough about her! She always answer the phone with positive attitude and she’s so understanding and patient, she is so welcoming and that’s what you need when you are recovering from something. Thank you everyone!!"
"Great experience from start to finish - 4 days post-op liposuction - Everything was great from start to finish. I was a little nervous at first but every staff member was especially welcoming and helpful. Tamika took such good care of me for 5 days. She was comforting and helped me through every pain and rough patch. I briefly met Edna who was also a sweetheart. Mari was amazing with the massages. All the staff and nurses at the Medspa were wonderful as well."
"I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look - Don’t look any further—Book your consultation! I dragged my feet for a year before I even booked my consultation. Dr B is VERY professional and made me feel so comfortable before surgery. Dr B is very informative and doesn’t sugar coat anything. He’s to the point and let’s you know what your options are for your body and the results you are looking for. To be honest, I’m a rule follower and all the pre-op info was very overwhelming to me because it was the first time I’ve ever had plastic surgery. I wanted to do all the things right and to ensure I would protect my expensive investment. Do your homework. There’s more into the post-op than the surgery itself. Dr B and his team will stay in touch and guide you through your entire journey. I’m 14 weeks post-op and I’m still healing! Make sure you are prepared when you go back home. Book Dr B’s very own recovery house—it’s worth every dollar and knowing what I know now, it shouldn’t even be something you decide to skip! The first few days you are drenched in blood/fluids from open draining incisions & tubes. Having the assistance from the recovery house and someone to help you out of the messy dressings was a must for me! I felt safe, well taken care of, and loved in the house. They even drive you to and from all your post op visits with Dr B. Day 4 started the emotional and mental roller coaster that would last a few months—be prepared for this!! Make sure you’re aware it does take a while to recover. I was nieve and thought I’d bounce back asap. Allow yourself the time off the week after surgery and get your massages. Dr B did an amazing job and I still can’t believe how phenomenal my results look. I’m blessed to have found the very best in this field and have my confidence back! #momof2"
"I won’t go anywhere else - so lucky to have this doctor and team - I absolutely love this place! I have been going here since 2019 and haven’t ventured anywhere since. From the moment I walk in, Libby or Melissa are so welcoming along with Chris the office manager. I have been in for Botox, filler, and 360 lipo with BBL. Dr Balgobin is the master of what he does. I feel so fortunate to actually be local to someone that really cares and enjoys what he does. Always adding the latest procedures and the first in the country for permanent booty filler. My friend just had it done and loves it! She also had lipo and no BBL and the ab etching on her is so hot! I’m so happy to have introduced many people here. When it comes to the walk through on procedure, Aftercare and overall experience with the surgery of lipo/bbl I felt in very good hands. Highly recommend Arijai! They have definitely help turned back the time clock for me and I feel so confident. Also I must add the facials, skin pen and ZO skin care are a must."
"3 months post op - completely blown away by my results - I am a 40 year old mom of one. Have always workout, ate good, have done the best I can to keep myself in shape. The thoughts of a tummy tuck just wasn’t for me personally. Along with other places I had visited for other options. I came to Dr. Balgobin regarding my concerns with saggy/lose skin. He said I would be a good fit for Vaser assisted lipo, along with J Plasma. Let me tell you!! I am only 3 months post op, and am completely blown away by my results. On top of my booty looks AMAZING, and I didn’t even get a BBL. Lol. Knowing that I will have continued results in the months to come has me super excited!! Him, along with his staff are very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. Inviting, cozy environment. Shout out to both Tara, and Dani for being right there to answer any of my post op questions/needs. Thank you ladies. Would highly recommend anyone considering cosmetic surgery to set up your consultation with Dr. Balgobin."
"I love everything about this place, everyone is so sweet! The space itself is so cute and clean. I am a returning client to Tracie and I can't say enough good things about her. She is so knowledgeable and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients and their results. I highly recommend Tracie and visiting Arijai for your services!"
"Mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old - Dr. Balgobin made me feel so safe. I wasn’t scared at all and it’s because of him. He took every precaution there was to assure my safety. I told him what I wanted my body to look like, and he did it for me. He listened to my wants and needs. He told me exactly what to expect. He follows up with me, till this day. The level of care that this doctor gives is commendable, not to mention the results. His clinic is VERY CLEAN. The operating room was like a high end hospital. The staff is just as amazing as he is. I love the experience that I’ve had with Dr. Balgobin (BBL) and his team! The body he gave me is the nicest body I’ve ever had in my life. I’m a mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old. Thank you, Dr. Balgobin."
"Already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work - My experience was amazing from begining to end! I did liposuction 360, arms and inner thighs as well as opted for the 5 day recovery house stay after surgery because I was coming all the way from Toronto, Canada.I was picked up from the airport by Nurse Edna and she was so friendly and welcoming, gave me the run down of how everything works but my time with her was short because she swapped out with nurse Tamika who was also fantastic. She drove me to my surgery and all post op appointments, cooked all my meals, changed bedding and provided daily dressing care, provided medication reminders, ensured we were always hydrated and even laughed and joked with us. She made the experience even better with her honest, funny, outgoing, and down to earth personality. Nurse Tamika went above and beyond for us girls in the recovery house and was always providing valuable information needed for the best recovery possible. I hope to see her again one day! Dr. Balgobin was one of the coolest doctors I've ever met in my life. I met him before surgery and he explained his methods and process and it was so comfortable to talk to. He is confident, knowledgeable and realistic which is absolutely necessary in a doctor when they're about to alter your appearance. He also entered my post op appts with the nurse to check on my progress which I absolutely appreciated. I am still swollen at day 5 post op but I am already loving my results and ever so grateful for his work.Dr. Dan was my anesthesiologist and he was informative and explained exactly what it is that he does and how he would monitor me during the procedure. I was grateful for him because he also made me realize that I was not actually allergic to a specific medication that I was under the impression that I was. I woke up from surgery feeling fine with no lingering after effects. Nurse Daniel was a SUPER STAR, she just knew her stuff. She explained everything whether it was small or big and made sure I understood the information. She was there every step of the way, in surgery, when I had IV therapy, post op appts, changing of my garment, and continuously reminded me that this is all a process and that post care is very important to achieve the body we want. At the beginning of this process I was terrified but the entire team made those feeling diminish and my experience was more than worth it. I would recommend Dr. B and his team every single time.Thank you everyone for such a memorable experience! There's still so much more I could say!"
"34 BMI , BBL, Lipo 360, J Plasma - thankful to have gone to him - All I can say is I'm thankful to have gone to him. Anyone looking to see a surgeon that actually care about their patients results and safety should go to Chris. I am extremely happy with my results. The recovery house is amazing I didn't want to leave the food was so good. Your treated like family. Thank you DR Chris Balgobin I am not one for many words or reviews but I felt other women should know how happy you made me and how happy you could make them."
"Nothing less than amazing - completely changed the shape of my body - My experience with staff and Dr BBL has been nothing less then amazing ! Everyone was so kind! The process of preparing was so easy , and the staff did not hesitate to answer any questions I had prior to surgery! Dr BBL was honest, informative, about what expectations I should have after receiving these procedures. He COMPLETELY change the shape of my body ! Sometimes when trying clothes on it gets me a little emotional because I had been so self conscious about things I would wear I would avoid a lot , or cover up wearing a jacket or tie something around my waist ! Let me add that At my thinnest, heaviest, and most fit my body was always square! So to see curves has been phenomenal ! The recovery house as well I don’t know what I would do without Tamika she helped me so much, cooked amazing, had my meds ready , helped me get back and forth , and treated me very respectful !"
"Dr.bbl did a amazing job on my bbls had a few rounds with him also recovering house was super clean "tamika" is amazing"
"Amazing Doctors, Staff and Recovery House - 3rd bbl with him 2 went great I drop 40 pound so came back for a touch up . All 3 times I stayed at the recovery house “tamika “ is amazing. House always clean and fresh food cooked 3 times a day and they do our laundry which was amazing . Dr.bbl is not a push doctor and is very honest which I love and yes he follows up on all his girls ."
"This doctor, his nurse Cindi, the entire staff including his recommended “POST OP” lymphatic drainage massage therapist are all AMAZING.!!! Any question I had they responded in a timely manner, they went above & beyond to make me comfortable.!! I had surgery 5/17/2021 & am so beyond happy with my results.! I’m going to start by saying this is an expensive procedure.! The cost does tend with the surgery, that’s only the beginning.! You will have to buy multiple (like 6) faja’s & have them altered as well.... Post Op Lymphatic Drainage Massages are a necessity & they aren’t cheap either.!! Also want to say that the massage you get POST OP is NOT the relaxing, feel good drainage massage. These massages are slightly painful when being done but you will feel so much better after.! The intention is to drain the remaining fluid after surgery.! SO WHEN BOOKING ONE & MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU NEED POST OP DRAINAGE.!!! Anyways my results are AMAZING, I super happy & already thinking about a round 2..!!! Thank you SOOOO much DR. BBL & thank you the the entire staff also MS CARLOLYN at the recovery house.!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of you.!!!"
"Tracie Otting was the best! She listened to my needs, was professional and did a fantastic job! I'd go back!!!"
"Beautiful place. Nicole is the best. Highly recommend"
"Dr. BBL truly is amazing at his job. Each and every one of his staff was caring, attentive, and professional. Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of me."
"Dr. B and his team of nurses were amazing to work with! They were so helpful, kind and caring. Hes a master at what he can create! I’m so happy I choose this place!"
"Tracie is the best!! Definitely recommend going here for your services!"
"My experience was great. Every team member was nice, welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and cared for from the moment I scheduled, was picked up at airport, my time at the recovery house and day of my appointment. I will definitely be going back to Arijai Aesthetics if I want any additional work done in the future!"
"I don’t understand the reviews about being treated poorly or about staff being rude. I’ve been going to this place for over a year now. I initially had a consultation with Dr. B who was very nice and forthright. He told me he couldn’t help me with my excess belly skin and fat that I had after having 3 kids and after losing 80+ pounds. He referred me to another surgeon for a tummy tuck, which I had and had a great experience. I was very happy and satisfied with Dr. B and the direction he provided me. Since that experience I’ve been coming back a I see Nicole for Botox and lip injections and she is so nice and friendly and great at what she does. I’ve also seen (I think her name was Megan) for some laser services and she was also super nice and friendly and I’m very satisfied with the results. Anytime I’ve called the receptionist has been friendly and helpful. I have never encountered a rude staff member nor have ever a bad experience. I’ve been going here for over a year now and will continue to come here."
"Thank you Dr.B and staff at Arijai, you all are so wonderful! This new bawdy + the care I received is top notch! 👌"
"Nurse Nicole is the best! I would highly recommend her services and Arijai Aesthetics to anyone!"
"Tracie was so fantastic to work with!! She listened to my concerns and gave me exactly what I was looking for. My results are incredible! I was so nervous going in and Tracie made me feel so comfortable. If you’re looking for the sweetest injector to do your Botox, Tracie is your girl!"
"I have been needing work done on my stomach for quite some time now and I have put it off because I wanted to do all my research first. I looked online at many places and decided to call Arijai Aesthetics because I liked how his work looked the best. His receptionist/Admin Melissa was so kind and informative. When I had my consult with Dr. Balgobin he was very straight forward, informative, answered all my questions (even the dumb ones), and talked me though how I may heal so I could be prepared on how to handle stuff at home. I will say I called other places as well since you're always told to get other opinions and you never got to talk to the dr, some were irritated at the questions, and I didn't even like their work as much. I'm excited to get back to my normal body and it will all be thanks to Dr. Balgobin and his team."
"I loved my first Botox experience with Tracie. She is very knowledgeable and talked me through the whole process! It was fun and I loved my results. Highly recommend!!"
"The process was so easy and all staff were professional and attentive - I had the most wonderful experience with Dr BBL and his staff, from my consultation, procedure to recovery house the process was so easy and all staff were professional and attentive to my needs. I love my results!"
"Few weeks post-op Lipo 360, J-Plasma, BBL - attentive & professional - Lipo 360, JPlasma, BBL- Only a few weeks post op, however, Dr. BBL and staff were attentive and professional. Dr. BBL listened to my concerns and desires then performed his magic. I have no complaints and would highly recommend his practice. I’m so glad I stayed at the recovery house, Tameka went over and above my expectations to provide for a comforting and healing environment. Couldn’t imagine recovering anywhere is. Tameka is the best."
"Lipo 360 - the staff were nice, informative and very available - I was so freaking nervous. Tou know you see good and bad reviews so I didn't know what to expect. I know that I was a little on the heavier side of most patients. I wanted lipo 360 only with jplasma. The staff were nice and informative and very available. I stayed at the recovery house for 5 days with Ms. Tamika. She made the process that much better. The food, the love, the care, just everything. We were so lucky to have her. I seriously wouldn't consider doing it without the house. I love my results"
"He truly saw my vision of what I want and made it come true - From the initial consultation, to procedure day Dr. B and his staff were amazing. Melissa and Dani were my very first points of contact who assisted me in getting all my paperwork, and thing needed prior to surgery. They were both very helpful and informative. Day of surgery I was so happy to meet Dani in person, and as she was on the call… very helpful and informative. Her and Allison were so pleasant and made me feel so comfortable.Dr. B omg is Heaven sent. From the moment he walked in he was amazing. He truly not only saw my vision in what I wanted to get, but he made it come true. Forever grateful for him. Recovery House: Great, great, great. Tomika was very tentative to myself and the other girls. The food was delicious. Over all an very pleasant experience.If I could kiss and hug them all I would."
"Best investment - look forward to continue healing - From the starting process to the end of my recovery house stay was simple and amazing. Dr.B is so nice and has a gift to make you look so damn good and snatched! If you’re going to see Dr.B, be sure to add the recovery house stay!!! There is no way I’d been able to do it without Tamika. She was our house mom/nurse. From picking you up at the airport, feeding us, making sure we take our meds at the correct times, helping us shower & helping us navigate this new journey! I will miss her cooking & being pampered by her. I look forward to continue healing and being a Dr.B Baddie"
"Loving my results - continue to wear compression garment. - Dr. Balgobin is amazing! I had Lipo 360 done on January 4, 2022. I am loving my results! I also maintain a well-balanced diet and the exercise 4 to 5 times a week. I continue to wear my compression garment with foam every day."
"Lipo360 after having a baby - one of the best decisions I have made - Before having my second child (19 months old) I was a Marathon runner and a gym junkie. After giving birth I wasn’t able to get back to where I was physically and mentally. I couldn’t shake that extra baby weight either. So I decided to turn to liposuction to the abdomen. I found Dr. Balgobin on social media and started to follow his work. Walking into Dr. Balgobin office on surgery day hit me hard. I was so nerves but after he walked in the room he made me feel so comfortable and ready for this new beginning for myself. This has to be one of the best decisions that I have made. I’m only 3 weeks post surgery. I have had ups and downs, dealing with the faja, the lipo foam and the ab board. But I know it will all be worth it at the end. I stayed at the recovery house and I advise others to do so as well."
"Highly Recommend - After spending two years, and countless consultations, searching for a doctor for my BBL I was referred to Dr. Balgobin at arijai aesthetics. I requested my consultation and the staff did an amazing job at their response times and getting me a consultation in a timely manner. This was such a wonderful change as many places I had requested consultations with took weeks to even return my emails so this quick response was so appreciated! During my consultation I got to speak with Dr. balgoban and go over all of my needs and wishes as well as ask every question that was on my list and I truly felt like he actually listened to my wants and needs and took it all into consideration well just well giving me realistic answers to all of my questions. We discussed one major topic which many other doctors that I had consulted with were pushing me into getting a tummy tuck which I didn’t want or feel comfortable with getting. When I expressed these concerns and asked questions to Dr. balgoban and he gave me a more noninvasive solution and recommended J plasma which I had never even heard of and I was so appreciative of his recommendation and after listening to him explain the procedure and explain how my results would be with getting the J plasma, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had an easy time booking My BBL with Lipo 360 & J plasma his staff walked me through the entire process answered every single question I had quickly and sent me very detailed lists of everything I should expect and everything that I needed to do and purchase for my procedure and post op. They truly left no stone unturned. I did also make the decision to stay at the recovery house and that was such an incredible experience. From the coordination to picking me up at the airport taking me to and from my surgery caring for me the entire week after I was in great hands and I felt so well taken care of their the recovery home was very clean very well-maintained and the staff at the recovery home knew exactly how to take care of me. I am now One month postop my results are exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Never in my life have I had any sort of curves at all, I’ve never had hips and I’ve definitely never had a butt and now I have all of those things as well as a flat tummy and a total confidence boost! I absolutely loved my experience with Dr. balgoban and his amazing staff as well as the recovery home I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a luxury experience and AMAZING results!"
"My booty is looking fantastic - best decision I have ever made - I’m 2 days past 3 weeks post op today and healing has been a journey but the best decision I have ever made was to go to Dr. B. My swelling is already down 3 inches and my booty is looking fantastic!! With following proper instructions and getting my massages, everything has gotten easier each day! Thank you to all staff at Arijai and Dr. Balgobin for such a positive experience!"
"Highly recommended - gave me the confidence I only dreamed of - This board certified doctor is the best out there.From the first phone call to make a consult all the way to post ops after surgery they make you feel so comfortable.Dr. Balgobin is one in a million his skillset and deliverance is beyond any expectations. He gave me the confidence I only dreamed of. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommend"
"Gave me confidence about my body that I never had - My surgery was 5/17/21. This man is nothing short of AMAZING.!!! He, his nurses, his massage therapist, the recovery house & the Carolyn (hope I spelled her name right) who took the best care of me afterwards.! All are AMAZING.!!!He is super professional, honest & simply put MY SUPERHERO.!!! Lol Seriously though….This man changed my life.!!!!Gave me confidence about my body that I never had.! Everyone that knows me says it shows & that alone was worth it.!! The way I feel today was totally worth everything this journey includes..!!This is a journey, it is not cheap, it is not an overnight process, it is painful & more than what I expected, but again SO WORTH IT…!!Dr.Balgobins office (ARIJAI Esthetics) is clean, beautiful & exceeded my expectations.! All of his staff that encountered were AMAZING.! Cindy was who I had the pleasure of meeting & taking care of me at my post-op appointments… She is so sweet & took great care of me.! She addressed any concern I had & whenever I reached out after my procedure, had a concern or a question I received an immediate response….I stayed at the recovery house also.! It is an extremely clean, new, private place that is beautifully decorated, fully stocked with anything you may need & very comfortable. It’s so worth the little bit of extra money, especially if your from out of town…. I traveled from NYC to Minneapolis & would do 100 times again.!!!If I could give him more stars I would.!He is an unbelievable surgeon & artist.! He picked an amazing team & I made THE BEST choice in my life with choosing Dr Balgobin to perform my surgery.!!**My procedure was lipo 360, BBL & J-Plasma to the abdomen-"
"Dr Balgobin is Amazing!!!! - I can’t say enough about Dr Balgobin. I got my BbL and Lipo 360 with J-Plasma in September. I am so happy with my result at 8 weeks.

I also had a great experience at the recovery house. I'm 7 weeks post op and my results are looking great!"
"Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body - I was so afraid to do this! I've always wanted to especially after my 2nd child. This was the best decision I made! Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body! I'm so serious. I look great! His staff were extremely professional and so welcoming, my consultation and everything went smoothly. He's so wonderful and kind. I had no issues whatsoever besides the pain after surgery. He was completely honest about the procedure that I really needed which was a tummy tuck but decided on lipo 360, jplasma skin tightening and bbl. Im 6 weeks post op now and still can't believe the skin on my stomach retracted the way it did. I'm still healing as far as scaring but WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. B!!"
"Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin is simply the G.O.A.T , hands down. He is a real life Superhero. I chose Dr. Balgobin , after following his work for years. I had Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma skin tightening to the abdomen. I trusted he would do an amazing job and I was not disappointed. I’m only one month post op , I look and feel amazing, I couldn’t be happier!! You only get one chance of getting your surgery and results right! Dr. Balgobin is beyond the best!!"
"Nicole is amazing 👏🏼😍. I've been searching for years on the perfect person who does lip injections. I majority of them are located outside of Minnesota so when I came across her page. I didn't even wait I called right away and made my appointment. She is very detailed and informative. I just loved her personality. ❤ you definitely won't regret seeing her!"
"Nicole is the go-to for injectables! Since finding her and Arijai I wouldn't go anywhere else. She fixed filler that were done at a different place and gave me amazing results with other facial fillers. You can tell the expertise and care by the amount of time and precision she takes to make sure the best results. The membership program is a great way to save, but they are worth every penny."
"So this was my first time getting lip fillers and Botox in the forehead I had some inspiration photos from Pinterest and Nicole is the amazingly talented gal that I saw and she did exactly what I wanted, my forehead looks great and she also got my lips absolutely perfect!!! I’m so in love with them I will definitely be coming back!!! Highly recommend seeing Nicole!!!"
"Nicole did a great job with my facial fillers! I did extensive research for months prior and already had an idea what would be best for me beforehand. My goal was to add volume to hollow tear troughs and minimize appearance of dark circles. When I went to my consultation, Nicole recommended exactly what I already had in mind! I knew then I could trust her with my face. She’s very honest, gentle and comforting. I highly recommend her. My treatments: Voluma to structure cheekbone and Restylane L for my tear trough filler. 25 units of Botox in forehead for frown lines."
"Nicole does beautiful work! Highly recommended!"
"I was very pleased with the professionalism and services I received. I would highly recommend Arijai Aesthetics! Nicole was fabulous!"
"First off this place is beautiful and the staff is amazing...and very beautiful.. makes u feel so comfortable and at ease about your beauty concerns.. I have had botox with nicole a few times now.. i just love how professional and amazing she is. The placement is the best I've had. Recently decided to have filler put in my lips and again she was a perfectionist and i love them.. I've had so many compliments and inquiries already and it's been less than a week.. hands down a wonderful injector..i look 10 years younger and feel amazing.. i highly recommend her. I will definitely send all my friends this way and i know they will love this place as much as i do.."
"I had an appointment to get lip filler with Nicole. This was my first time ever getting filler and I had a lot of questions and reservations. Nicole took her time answering every single question and did not make me feel stupid for asking. Nicole did not downplay any risks associated with the service, nor did she attempt to up-sale any other service to me that I did not need. I felt very comfortable and informed about the procedure. The result — I am in love. My results look natural but enhanced. I had no bruising whatsoever and swelling lasted for only 3 days. I had pretty full lips before but Nicole balanced my top lip with my bottom and added some pout. I couldn’t be more happier and confident in the result and will definitely return to her when I need more filler in the future!! Even my boyfriend loves it and said it doesn’t look overdone. I get compliments from others and nobody else knows I got filler. Thanks Nicole."
"My Experience with Dr. Balgobin and Arijai Team Exceeded my Expectation!!! - I am 53 with 3 kids. After a year of searching for the right doctor or clinic I almost signed up for my bbl procedure with a Dr. in Miami, FL. Then I read a lot of good review about Dr. Balgobin in Minnesota where I live 3 minutes away from his clinic. I called and left a message. For my surprise he took time to call me and answer all my questions. I had my BBL procedure done 3 weeks ago. The whole Arijai team is super nice, frendly and professional. I met with Dr. Balgobin before my procedure discuss what I want and he listened and gave me all my options. I sincerely don't have words to express how happy I am with my decision. He is the most knowledgeable, professional, humble and very carrying doctor. He knows what he is doing and very confident about it. With Dr. Balgobin it is all about the well being of his clients and their satisfaction. He did a fabulous job!!! I recommend anyone to pay the extra and take the option to stay at the welcome house for 5 days after the procedure. A beautiful house that is so relaxing. A super nice nurse aid with nurturing nature who can help you go through each day.She prepares healthy delicious meals everyday. Water, protein drinks, supplements, all supplies included. More than anything the nurse will help you go through every steps so you don't have to know what to do. She also help you clean and shower... and more. We had a great group of ladies sharing our experience and had so much fun being there. Nurse will take you to your appointments for your checkup. Make life easier. Edna thank you! You really are so special!!! You can arrange your massage at the welcome center if you want one.I know it is hard to decide where to go for these types of procedure. My experience with Dr. Balgobin (Dr.BBL) and his teamExceeded my expectation and I highly recommend him to any one out there looking for the right doctor. I promise you will love your result. I love the new me! My I feel 21 again. Thank you Dr. BBL and Arijai team."
"By far the best nurses a girl could ask for. I traveled all the way from Oklahoma and I was not disappointed! Dr. B food amazing work and was worth every penny. But the nurses made my entire experience! I'd give this team more stars if I could. I've already referred him to over 10 people and all have set up consults! When you are investing in your temple--only invest in the BEST!"
"Above & beyond - I had lipo360 and chin lipo March 2021. Dr. BBL and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process. I'm ecstatic about my results and I'm only 8 weeks P.O. Dr. Bbl far exceeded my esthetic expectations. His nurses provide all info you need to know regarding what to expect and proper post op care. They respond immediately to any questions or concerns. In each of my pot op appointments, It's clear the nurses are dedicated to their patients and proper care. They remembered small details about myself and my journey (all medically unnecessary, but just to show the detail and observation they have to making a true connection)."
"The Best Bbl Doctor Ever - I was really a slimmed build girl didn’t have a lot of booty or fat to actually preform the procedure but that didn’t matter if you have a great doctor you will get the best results I feel like I went to bently and got my first car in this body lol"
"Hands down the best! I felt as if I was at an exclusive resort. - Dr. BBL is the best hands down!I had my BBL with him in Aug 2020 and I am so happy with my results. Dr. B and his entire staff were warm and welcoming. I chose to stay at the recovery house and HIGHLY recommend you do the same. I felt as if I was at an exclusive resort with the best care provided. I'm looking forward to summer 2021 to show off my new juicy booty! "
"Liposuction 360, chin lipo and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin made me a hot 50 year old! - Curves for days. am beyond ECSTATIC with my results. The whole experience was great from start to finish. The recovery house was beautiful and the staff took great care of me. I would recommend!Updated on 2 Feb 2021:Dr. Balgobin and his magic JPLASMA got me bikini ready. Dr. Balgobin was honest and informed me a tummy tuck was the "gold standard". I didn't want a tummy tuck and I had realistic expectations. I followed his Post OP instructions like it was my PLASTIC SURGERY Bible. In my opinion the aftercare massages and COMPRESSION help with my results. I still where my faja and compress 4 months in and I plan on doing so until I am at least 6 months post op."
"Life changer—I had a BBL lipo 360 with J-Plasma on abdomen and back. - I had a BBL lipo 360 with J-Plasma on abdomen and back.Im absolutely happy with my results. Everywhere I go no exaggeration I have people immediately turn heads to look at me & get several compliments on my body. I wanted a extreme hour glass shape. From the doctor to the nurses everyone in the office is welcoming comforting and professional. I was informed on everything I needed to know about every aspect of getting the surgery. The aftercare post visits were great. I went home from surgery with the proper garment and lipo foam inside my garment as well as a BBL pillow to sit on. I know people who've gone to surgery centers where they did not provide thise items. They're important must haves."
"You never know who you will meet - I had liposuction 360, BBl and j-plasma done back in 2018. The lipo360 was great and I was literally obsessed with the results from the J-plasma. I never new my stomach could be so flat. I felt so confident in tight jeans without having a Bulge of fat. I Strongly believe if your going to get lipo done in the Abdominal, it’s a MUST to do J-plasma (life changing)! The BBL I was extremely happy with the size of my butt. But, I did not know that all my dimples and Cellulite would still remain. Actually they seemed to be more visible and bigger. I feel that it should be more explained from the Dr to people who have a good amount of cellulite. The recover house beds were horrible but I heard it’s all upgraded and absolutely beautiful now. The Doctors team of staff was absolutely phenomenal. From the guy who picked me up from the airport to the nurse at the recovery house All A1! I can’t wait to see the new house cause I plan to be back since I let myself go during covid-19, gained a few lbs and need lipo and that J-plasma again! But one amazing part of it all is I met an amazing women at the receiver house. She and I have become the best of friends. I’m from Boston and she from Baltimore. Crazy part was her man and my man booked the same hotel while she and I was having surgery! They also clicked. We all have been on several trips Greece, Cuba, Mexico, Aspen, Miami and DC and many more to come. We have celebrated every bday together since we met at the recover house. I definitely gained a friend for life.."
"BBL Perfection 4 Weeks Post Op - I had surgery October 22nd and I’m very pleased with my results so far. I went from 34-27-39 to 34-26-45. Dr. B and his staff have amazing bed side manners. I highly recommend staying at his recovery house. The nurses are attentive and cook meals from scratch. The facility is clean with beautiful decor. I’m already contemplating a second round lol."
"Dr. Balgobin Changed my Life! - Incredible. I had lipo/bbl in Aug. 2019 and lipo/bbl/jplasma in March 2020. Let me start off saying I was shaped like spongebob. Totally square, love handles, ZERO butt, tire around my waist kind of fat. I hated my shape for years, and dreamed of wearing cute bodycon dresses or just a bikini in public, or heck, lingerie for that matter! I was IN SHOCK when I first saw myself in the mirror after my first round. So incredible how the fat is just rearranged to a new part of the body and I had a WHOLE NEW SHAPE!!! My waist had never looked so bangin!! I had a booty! After speaking with Dr.B about a second surgery, I booked immediately for the following month.. and I have never looked BETTER. Not everyone needs to have 2 procedures, but I was realistic going into this process.. I had an awful foundation to start with and I definitely needed some work. I am 6 months post op from my second surgery and this is hands down the best thing I've ever done for myself. So grateful to Dr.Balgobin and thankful he took me on as a patient. The staff was amazing start to finish, easy to get a hold of, wonderful communication. 10/10!!!"
"I love my BBL by Dr.Balgobin! - I'm so happy with my results. Not only did Dr. Balgobin give me my dream body, his staff were so kind! Danielle and Cindy (the nurses) are the nicest most down to earth people, they took care of me so well. It literally felt like they were family, I was so comfortable. I felt so safe. It's about 3 months post op.. and I'm looking amazing.. finally confident. My before pics are in the green and after bikiniUpdated on 26 Jul 2021:Exactly one year later….. I’m still so happy with my body! I did gain like 6 lbs but my shape remained and I think it went to my butt anyways lol! I am so happy & I get compliments all the time. If I could go back in time, I’d do it again! He is the best of the best. That’s why they call him “dr.bbl” I love his team & I felt so comfortable & taken care of. My dream body is not a dream anymore, it’s my reality."
"Amazing Results from Dr. Balgobin - I had Lipo 360 & BBL June 18th 2020 with Dr. Balgobin and stayed in their recovery house.I'm extremely happy with my results, they exceeded my expectations! I didn't know if I would look like my wish pictures and I'm not only looking like them but better!My massage therapist in Michigan tells me everytime how impressed she is with his liposuction skills. Coming from someone who sees a variety of women from a variety of places to say that is remarkable.Updated on 25 Aug 2020:Office and staff are wonderful! Very caring and professional. Being an out of state patient I emailed the nurse and she replied back to me right away. The office is beautiful and clean.I also stayed in their recovery house for 5 days and it was the best experience I could have had. Tamika is THE BEST nurse, she is an amazing caregiver who is very knowledgeable, so positive, and is a great cook! She made all our meals and made sure we had everything we needed in our rooms.Updated on 25 Oct 2020:Added my before pictures next to the othersThe left most picture is my Pre-OP - I had to gain 5 lbs from that to achieve my resultsI am now 4 mo PO and am still very happy with my results. The abdominal etching was not an additional charge but he mentions that he does this for certain patients."
"Top notch service - I woke up looking amazing - Dr. Balgobin and his entire team are all welcoming and friendly. He asked me what I wanted and I said "do you" "I would like to have something that suits my frame" he said"ok". I woke up looking amazing. The nurses were super nice and took their time with you. Oh and the office is very clean.The recovery house, my god! Without Tamika I wouldn't have made it home. She gives you encouragement to move around. She made sure you were not hungry. She is a very free spirited person. She kept the entire home clean while juggling taking care of us and not to mention her amazing meals. You will feel right at home. I can't thank them enough for this service. God bless you all for making this journey so worth it."
"Best doctor for a natural-looking BBL - Doctor BBL changed my life. 8 months ago I flew to Minnesota from Chicago to have my surgery done November 7, 2019. I had a 360 lipo with BBL with J-Plasma. I could go on forever telling you how awesome of a surgeon he is but I’d rather show you the first photo in the cream undies is from today 8/mo and some change post op 7/24/2020. The rest were 1 1/2 month post op - amazing!"
"Dr.Balgobin was amazing I didn’t have to say much it’s like he knew exactly what I wanted - My experience with Dr. Balgobin has been so amazing starting with the first person I met with the Arijai group. Tamika was amazing extremely helpful in everything her cooking was delicious and the attention she gave me was perfect. The only thing that made me think twice about flying out to get my procedure was being alone and having a bad recovery experience but I 1000 times recommend their recovery house. Dr.Balgobin was amazing I didn’t have to say much it’s like he knew exactly what I wanted even just coming out of surgery I almost cried of how amazing I already looked he truly has magical hands. I’ve heard of many places where the service is so bad but they kept in touch with me every step of the way Melissa was just a call away and never had me waiting and helped me figure out any question or problem I had."
"It’s Not All Hype and Marketing, It’s Real! - First let me preface the story by saying I have two sets of twins. Yes, two sets of twins came from this body! I had always been relatively average two thin but my weight was in terrible places namely the love handles I went to Dr. BBl for a fat transfer to the breast and I plasma to the abs, and sides. I went to Dr. BBL for a fat transfer to the breast and my results have been amazing! I had my Saline implants replaced and I did not even drop a cup size! If you need more proof just look at my before and after pics!"
"I absolutely love this place and the staff. They do the best work, give proper aftercare and always over exceed expectations. I won't go or refer people to anywhere else"
"I had a procedure with Dr. Balgobin and it was a great experience, even with all the COVID nonsense happening. Him and his staff are very welcoming and were there for every question that I had during the process."
"Great experience from beginning to end, even post op. I was very nervous from the beginning and the staff and Dr were able to calm me down and make me feel secure. The recovery house is highly recommended, if you are lucky enough to have Edna and all of her cooking, you are blessed, though I am sure every staff member is awesome. I can’t say enough good things and my results have been more than satisfactory."
"The consult with DrB was easy and just like talking to a friend , I decided to go with him . The moment I was in communication with staff I knew that Chosing Dr. B and Arijai was the best decision I could have made. The care and attention put into making sure my labs were done was appreciated , all of the Staff , Melissa and Dani were professional at all times . I was no longer nervous after speaking with them. I’ve heard many Miami horror stories about money hungry doctors that have cattle calls of women waiting for surgery. I had individual attention on surgery day, the Miami cattle call, was far from my experience. The Recovery house was immaculate, the rooms were clean , feminine and technology up to date ,you really can travel there with your purse and the clothes off of your back, they has EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING that you needed, so when they tell you to travel light TRAVEL LIGHT. The recovery house staff MARY and EDNA were caring , attentive and took great care of us. It was like having family there with you , the food was AMAZIIINNNGGG, MARY made the fastest meals but they tasted like she spent hours in the kitchen lol!! EDNA was like the caring motherly drill sergeant that was preparing us for War , she was on us about taking our Iron , the importance of nutrients and making sure we learned what was needed for self care because after all like she said, when we got home we would have to do it our self. Now she was also a GREAT COOK, MM MMM!!! Dr Balgobin did an amazing job, even I’m shocked how I look at 4 weeks post op compared to my pictures on the table, he was professional, personable and found out we had some connection to the state I live in. So yes he actually has a conversation with you while prepping you for surgery. Arijai is a classy establishment, all of the staff , men and woman are beautiful, the office is nice and I would recommend anyone to Arijai . I’m recovering nicely , ZERO complications, just follow the instructions and don’t take short cuts and you will be just fine ."
"Nicole was AMAZING I got lip filler and I never thought I could fix my small lips and they turned out more then I could ever ask for!! Will never go anyone else!"
"Found Arijai Aesthetic though Instagram page under dr.bbl from a friend. Watching Dr.Bagobin for three and half years or so. I finally booked my appointment for Feb 3 . Right after my Son’s 1st Birthday & I turned 41. I did a Lipo 360 +arms & BBl with Recovery house + Jplasma skin tightening technique. But I had to qualify first with blood test & Dr history. So they know your healthy before surgery and I did . I was traveling from California. Got picked up by care taker Tamika (who your going to love) from airport in a very nice Mercedes SUV on the second of February. Went straight to recovery house. Witch is a 6 bedroom 5000sq house . That is well taken care of . Sanitation at its highest. My room was spacious and comfortable. Had a welcoming chocolate and folder on my pillow, right when I walked in. Folder had information on my next steps before surgery day . Witch was the next Day . Also had supporting words of comfort . Everything is very well thought out. Caring for your wellbeing and not just your pockets. I never felt like a number . I can’t tell you how nice everyone was in the office the next day. Prepping for surgery was a breeze. Meeting Dr.B was amazing. You can sense the genuineness and the passion he has for his work. You just know you in good hands. They make sure your mentally ready , witch I was . Very much so. Waking up after surgery feeling some pain but that’s to be expected. You just had major surgery duh . My nurse Edna helped me with my meds & though the next 5 days of my healing. She’s God sent and a beautiful soul . Listen to hear and trust your in good hands . You can feel the love in her care , conversation & cooking . Having other ladies in the house with me really helped mentally get though the days . We laughed together and gave Supporting words of encouragement. It was truly a life changing experience in so many ways then one."
"Dr. BBL Gave Me my Dream Body!! - I had my bbl/Lipo March 16th, 2020 with Dr. Balgobin. He and his staff are amazing. Dani the surgical nurse was so helpful during my post-recovery week. She responded to my calls/emails right away! And Dr.BBL gave me my dream body! I’ve always gained weight in my stomach area and arms but my butt and hips were always flat and not flattering. I’ve researched different doctors and decided to go with Dr. BBL and I am glad I did. Not only is he kind and skilled, but he’s also honest. He is so knowledgeable and he knew exactly what I wanted. Honestly, recovery for me was a little tough I had no appetite and my hemoglobin dropped! I had massive headaches and I was also puking my guts out the entire first week. I wish I stayed at their recovery house, that’s honestly my only regret throughout this whole process. I stayed at a hotel with my husband who took great care of me, but it wasn’t enough. I needed a nurse and someone who had knowledge in post bbl care. However, my sister had her surgery a month ago, also with Dr.BBL of course and she stayed at their recovery house. And boy was our recovery different, they have a 24hr nurse at the house plus meals, snacks, and transportation. Tamika was one of the nurses at the house and my sis loved her. I also met Tamika in person she is super sweet and helpful. My advice dolls stay at their recovery house!!! You won’t regret it!!!! I love love my body, I got exactly what I wanted out of this surgery. The only downside is recovery is super long. Make sure you're well prepared both mentally and physically with realistic expectations."
"Today marks my 3 month post lipo360 with J plasma add-ons. So happy with the results & grateful to Dr.Bbl - I called Dr.BBl 4 months ago for a virtual consult. He went over the phone with me to every single detail. Today marks my 3 month post lipo360 with J plasma add-ons. So happy with the results & grateful to Dr.Bbl for being so informative and setting us to beautiful realistic results. He didnt just sell himself promising flat abs or those kardashian curves he told me u might need second round cause according to my BMI they were able to remove abit over 5000 cc of fat which is Safe the limit. He is an artist i never had waist lines before nor smooth back without the bra rolls.Thank u Dr.Balgobin and glad i chose u"
"Don’t Go Anywhere else - I had been going to Dr. Balgobin for roughly a year for Botox and Filler but initially was drawn to his practice from seeing his Lipo and BBL on social media. I was in awe to be honest on the transformations he does! Like damn! I never thought that was possible! I reached out to him and he directed me to where his office was, I had gone elsewhere for Botox prior but I was just so impressed with their work I had to check it out. So first I tried the Botox and filler like I mentioned, his esthetician is amazing, I have brought all my friends to her as well. She also suggested this anti aging face regiment called Zo Skin Health by Zein Obagi. I’m on my third kit (comes in a pack with 5 products) and it makes my skin look and feel like I’m glowing. Finally after a year of going to his practice I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled my Lipo 360 and BBL. From the beginning when scheduling I was given so much information on what to expect, what to do before and after and they even offer a Recovery House for a very good price. If I wasn’t local and lived 20 minutes away I would have for sure done it. I was called a week before the surgery to be consulted again, what to do, what to expect/prepare, and after care information. Throughout the whole journey they were right there with me to answer any questions I had, which I didn’t have too many because they already answered most of them. I can’t really think of any cons.... Numerous girlfriends of mine have had the same surgeries by other Dr.’s, with no after care instructions, no recommendations on lymphatic massages or garments to wear following surgery, nothing!!! I feel bad even telling them how well I was taken care of because they payed good prices but had botched jobs. Dr. B does everything right and would not go or recommend anyone to go anywhere else. They are actually considering redoing theirs just to go to him and get it done right. My results are simply amazing it’s brought happy tears to my eyes and I’m only a little over a week post opp. I have felt this way since the day out the door. It’s everything I’d hoped it would be! And it’s only going going to get better! Looking forward to enjoying this for the long term."
"Lipo 360 & J Plasma - Everything about my procedure was great! My Dr Christopher Balgobin and his staff were fabulous. This was my first cosmetic surgery EVER, so i guess you can say I was a little on edge, however Dr Balgobin and his staff answered all my questions. The service I received was very prompt, from my pre op, to my actual surgery. I’m very pleased with my results!!"

"Attention Stop Your Search!! Dr. BBL is the Best! - Attention!!!! If you are second guessing going to Dr. BBL stop right now! I had my procedure 3 months ago and had the most amazing experience! I stayed at the recovery house and it literally felt like a vacation. Dr. B and his staff were amazing and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way! Do it ladies stop looking around at DRs because Dr. BBL is the best :)"
"Scheduled my appointment with Dr BBL - I scheduled my appointment with Dr Balgobin on May 27th. I am super excited. I will be doing the 5 night stay in the recovery house. Current weight 184. Height 5'4. Between now and then I am trying to lose as much weight as I can just so the skin tightening will look better. I am going for lipo 360 bbl and skin tightening.Updated on 19 May 2020:My procedure is in 7 days, Wednesday May 27th. I am required to test for covid 48 hours before my appointment but I was unable to schedule Monday due to it being a holiday. The clinic is closed on the weekend so I will be doing my covid test Friday. Super nervous!Updated on 20 Jul 2020:I am 8 weeks post op and love my results so far. I stayed in the recovery house and I am so glad I made the decision to stay there. Tamika is AWESOME. my curves are poppin, my booty is poppin. My stomach needs some more work but dr B did let me know ahead of time that I would probably need a TT or round 2. He really did his thing though! I’m impressed. He is such a kind person he made me feel super comfortable. "
"Recommend Dr. B and His Staff 150%! - Dr. B and his staff are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I recommend them 150%!!! I had my first BBL with J-Plasma to my stomach in July 2019 and was very happy with my result... just decided I needed “tweaked” in a few areas, so I went for round 2 BBL and added J-Plasma to my back and also added arm lipo as well, in February 2020. J-Plasma is amazing! You should add it onto your surgery! It practically suctions your extra skin to your body. I can’t even pinch any loose skin now! I’m 3 weeks post-op as of today and I’m healing up great! Very happy with my results already and I know they’ll continue to get even better! I traveled for surgery and stayed at the recovery house both times. I would NEVER want to do this type of surgery without the recovery house! Tamika is the most caring, compassionate and helpful person I’ve ever met! She has a huge heart and gives her all to every single girl staying at the house. I actually made sure she was going to be at the house the 2nd time I came because I missed her so much and couldn’t wait to see her again! It honestly felt like a “girl’s trip” while I was there. I also stayed in the one room that’s shared with someone else and although you might think you want your own private room, having a surgery buddy is great to keep your spirits up during your recovery process. We had lots of laughs and kept each other positive throughout the process. Thank you to every one of you at Arijai who has played a part in literally changing my life! I’ll never be able to thank you enough! Much love! XOXOUpdated on 20 Mar 2020:Round 1 Before and After Photos from July 2019. BBL with J-Plasma to the stomach. I highly recommend to use Arnica Montana tablets a month before surgery for bruising, Arnica Gel to help minimize bruising quicker, Jade Roller to help massage the scar tissue that begins to form after surgery, Lymphatic massages 2-3 times per week to keep the lymph flowing well and to decrease swelling and also drink a gallon of water a day at LEAST 2 weeks before and after surgery to say well hydrated and help the body recover quicker."
"Magnificent Astonishing out of This World Experience. - My experience with Dr.Balgobin exceeded my expectations. He treated me like a Queen. He is very professional. I’m astonished as to what he has accomplished with my body. I had a square shape body with no derrière, his Magnificent hands crafted a beautiful body which I now love. He gave me a small waist and a beautiful derrière. I will no longer be hiding my body or wear oversized clothing and I owe it all to Dr.Balgobin. I’m forever grateful to him and the staff which they all make you feel more that amazing. Dr.Balgobin is the BEST."
"Surgery in May - would love a surgery sister! - Hi, is anybody plan on getting surgery in May? Looking for a surgery sister. Plan on booking for May. I'm kind of scared to go thru this process alone and would love a surgery sister. Thanks, let me know."
"He did a really good job on me - excited to see final results - The office staff was amazing and extremely helpful. Dr B was quick,but thorough, very efficient. They helped me remain informed and answered my questions. He did a really good job on me, excited to see final results."
"Dr. Bbl Doll - I had my lipo 360 bbl with Dr. Balgobin on 1/30/2020. He is an awesome doctor. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He is honest and will give you realistic expectations for your body. He is patient and willing to answer any and all questions. He explained what to expect during recovery as to not be disappointed as your body goes through different changes. He is blessed with the gift to contour and sculpt your body. He puts in great effort to give you your desired look. My Primary care doctor and my Lympmathic massage specialist were both very impressed with my appearance. I love what I see. If you are looking to get lipo or a bbl , he is the doctor for the job. Check out his instagram page Dr.bbl. He post daily. The recovery house is great. Tameka is awesome and will take good care of you. They provide transportation, food, medication administration, and anything you would need to help during your first 5 days. I will provide pics soon."
"Thank You So Much Dr B!!! - My experience with dr. B was great. I got a bbl + lipo 360 with j-plasma. I didn’t have very much of a booty when I first came to him but he made me curvy with a lovely shape now and I’m so happy with it. Also the recovery house he has was beyond helpful. I’m so glad I decided to stay there they really help out with everything and also give good information that I didn’t find anywhere on the internet or YouTube prior to my surgery (and I did a lot of research) it’s good staying in a house with other women that are going through the same thing so we can all talk about how we’re feeling and no one feels weird or insecure asking questions. Thanks again so much dr b!! And at the recovery house try to get there when Tamika is working, that’s who was there when I was she was the best!!"
"Best Surgeon out There!!! - Amazing experience all the way around. Staff was extremely kind and communicative prior to me arriving from another state, which eased my anxieties extremely. Once arriving, I was greeted nearly immediately from the staff awaiting at the airport. The house was beautiful, comfortable and the staff went above and beyond. The food they made for us...AMAZING! Dr Balgobin has a great bedside manner, his office staff are ON IT and they run a near immaculate system. As a healthcare worker, I have been exposed to many physicians and settings and I can honestly say DR B. And his team are the elite!!!! His work speaks for itself, he’s an artist, a magician, a creator of confidence...his work is literally life changing to women. Thank you for all you and your staff do and continue to do. Would definitely recommend, hands down best plastic surgeon out there!!!"
"Amazing natural lips - her lip technique is the best, no bruising! - I saw Nicole RN, for Botox, Juvederm, and lip filler. Nicole is very educated in fillers. I was a little nervous and I had nothing to worry about. Her lip technique is the BEST, no bruising!! Now I want to wear lipstick all the time. Also, Nicole is very gentle and explains the procedure very well. Treat yourself to something special!!!!!"
"Finally done - it was a pretty good experience BBL lipo 360 Jplasma - I went to Dr.BBL and it was a pretty good experience. I had my surgery on January 6th and so far so good. The Dr. was very nice and professional as expected and the staff was attentive and amazing. The recovery house was a brilliant idea, the staff knows how to take care of you. I was completely comfortable, they made sure we received our meds, got to our appointments and ate appropriately. Right now I'm a few weeks out and there is really no pain, my advice is follow the pre and post -op instructions and you'll be fine . I highly recommend this doctor!Updated on 2 Mar 2020:"
"Dr. B snatched me! - I just got my Lipo 360 + BBL on Jan 6. I'm on day 6 and back at home after staying in the recovery house (highly recommend). Dr. B. Got my waist smaller than I could ever even imagine- I had a friend ask me where my organs went! (Lol) Also, I already had a decent sized booty (you can't tell from my before pic, lol) but he sculpted it, gave me rounder hips and a rounder view from the back and I'm 10000% satisfied with my results so far. I'm still very swollen so I can't see the final product, but judging from the "after photo" he posted on his Instagram I know it will be the body of my dreams! Definitely follow him on IG if you don't already- Dr.BBL.Also, do yourself a favor and stay at the recovery house. The first few days are HARD. There is a lot of drainage, medication and getting in and out of the garment is an ordeal.... you will want and need the help of their staff. "
"New "Omaha" Booty - From the time that I landed I was made to feel welcomed. Tameka was very professional , and knowledgeable of what needed to know and expect. She answered my questions honestly and a BOMB cook. Morning of I was a little nervous but pushed through. The care team was nothing less than AMAZING, it was such a pleasure. When dealing with a surgery and healing, the care you're provided with is important. As I missed home I'll miss your staff. JANAE the massage was perfect, soothing, even more relaxing. You were gentle to the touch and even more so engaged (not quiet ) so I was able to enjoy the massage even more so respected me. I will be looking for you girl when I come through Minnesota."
"Super happy with my choice - I just had my procedure on Nov 11,2019 and I had a great experience. The staff at Arijai wellness center are so nice and Dr. Balgobin is amazing. Super happy with my choice. I stayed at the recovery house and Tamika took great care of everyone. She helps you with everything you need and answered any question I had. Completely satisfied!"
"Dr. Balgobin and his staff are incredible and so friendly - I was extremely nervous walking into this procedure because I have never had surgery before! From start to finish this was an amazing experience, I couldn’t have been more comfortable. Staying at the recovery house was awesome because you and the other girls can support each other and you’re in it together. Dr. B and his staff are incredible and so friendly! I could not be more pleased with my results and I’m only on day 4 of my healing process. I highly recommend Dr. B and the recovery house!!"
"Loving my Results and Overall Experience - I had my surgery October 1st ( Lipo 360+ BBL+ J Plasma) so I’m currently 7 weeks post op. I’m loving my results! As far as surgery day and post op the staff was amazing! Everyone was very nice. I flew from Arizona to get the curves and a big booty that I’ve been wanting and that’s what I got!"
"I am only six weeks in to my recovery and I’m loving my results so far - I had a lipo360, bbl and j-plasma in September. Dr. Balgobin and his staff are Amazing ! Even after my surgery Dani the surgical nurse is so helpful with any and all of my questions. I can’t thank them enough for everything !!! I am only six weeks in to my recovery and I’m loving my results so far, can’t wait to see my final result."
"Amazing Work - Dr. BBL (Dr. Balgobin) is an amazing surgeon and does amazing work transforming bodies. I had an amazing experience with him and his staff and postoperatively while staying at the recovery house. Ms. Edna (RN) tended to every need I had and provided me with valuable advise to enhance results. I would recommend to anyone who wants a natural shape after lipo 360 with BBL!! My husband is SOOOO happy with my results, almost as much as me!"
"They have the BEST staff! They were so helpful with scheduling my procedure and very understanding when I was unable to continue with it. If I were able to do my bbl I would one hundred percent do it here!!!"
"Great Experience! - Amazing! Listened to everything I wanted out of my body. Very happy with how my hip size still looks good with my body type. Love the recovery home and staff! Food is comforting and just like home! Loved it!"
"This is my second round with Dr Balgobin. Him and his staff are so awesome! I'm writing a review to share my experience at the recovery house. I didn't stay the first time but I did the second time. The in house nurse EDNA is beyond my expectations! She makes sure you're taken care of. I love how she gives us advices and help us literally with everything you can't do for the first few days. She'll pick up anything you need from the pharmacy. And boy! She is an excellent cook! She made us feel like we are at home!"
"Miami Booty - I have followed Dr.B for years and watched his work. He is so talented and skilled at sculpting your body and giving results that are proportionate to your body. I knew that none but Dr. B was going to touch this booty but him. I am overly ecstatic with my results and I'm still on the healing process . Dr. B recovery house OMG is so awesome. Tameka is sooo Awesome, she down to earth, very positive and a fantastic cook. Mary is also awesome to sweet and easy to talk to. These ladies really take care of you like a mother tends to her child. Choosing Dr. B and Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness was the best decision I could have made. The best cosmetics doctor with an awesome helpful, friendly staff.."
"Amazing from Start to Finish - I had a great experience at Arijai from start to finish,Everyone was extremely nice and attentive.

"Dr. BBL - Bring 40 on - I've followed Dr. B for at least 6 years and the time just worked out for me a few months ago. I took my pics submitted my questionnaire and recieved a call that day with a future appointment date with Libby for a virtual consultation. Dr. B called I picked a date put my down payment and then setup a call with my physician to clear me for surgery. I decided stay at the recovery house and must say that I am beyond glad that I did. The ladies have experience, are very welcoming, insightful, understanding and knowledgeable. The home itself is very much like a home, very cozy and up to date. Mary and Jeanette made themselves available but also run a tight ship. The home is always maintained very clean and if you need anything they will accomodate you on an errand run. If you are coming from out of state there is no reason why you should not stay here. I know some want to air bnb or hotel but trust me you'll have everything you need here.I would like to share that I was not feeling so great on my post OP visit (we all recover differently) Dani right away heard me was very attentive and her bed side manner just confirmed why I chose Dr. B and his staff. The following morning I still was not feeling well and I reached out to Chris, the office manager...on a Saturday! He promptly responded the girls at the house had a game plan for me and that evening Chris reached out to check on me again! I cannot say enough of Dr. B, Dani, Chris, and Libby thank you so much for caring and truly showing it. Thank you to the recovery house staff you ladies are amazing! I leave MN with a few new friends and a whole new body!"
"Lips 360,BBL and J plasma - Dr.BBL changed my life I can’t thank him enough. He’s so nice and understanding and listen to what you want. He’s honest. I’m so in love with my body! Looking at my before and after speaks for itself how great he is at what he does. The whole staff was amazing! The recovery house was a life saver. Tamika and the other girls that were there was very encouraging and helpful. I’m so happy I picked Dr.BBL. You will not regret it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Updated on 22 Jul 2019:"

I've literally loved the whole experience and would do it over with no questions!! My results are already amazing and I'm excited for whats to come!!Updated on 14 Aug 2019:I’m currently 4 weeks in and I’m loving my results!! I love the way clothes fit and all the positive feedback I’ve been getting! I’ve still been wearing my garment, I never leave it off more than two hours total a day.

"100% Satisfied - Let me start off by saying that Dr. B, Arijai Aesthetics and the Recovery House are amazing! I truly had and an amazing experience from my initial arrival to my departure. The staff at Arijai are great and Dr. B is amazing! He gave me exactly what fit my body and it is exactly what I wanted. I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. The recovery house is also amazing.

"Lipo BBL w/J-Plasma - After months of research I had my surgery done by Dr.Bbl and I'm so happy I did! His work is amazing and he gave me exactly what I asked for! I would highly recommend staying at the recovery house. Tamika is very knowledgeable and she helped us all through our healing process even after I left the recovery house. I feel I made a friend more so than just having a nurse take care of me. The staff at Arijai were helpful and resourceful! There is so much information about post op that not everyone is informed about so do your due diligence and research, asks questions! Especially if you're traveling, you only get so much time at the clinic. Staying at the recovery house with tamika gave me insight on the best way to care for myself post surgery. This surgery is no walk in the park so boss up and brace yourself mentally for the after math! "
"Very happy patient, one of the best medical experiences that I ever had. - This had to be one of the best medical experiences that i ever had. I have been considering this for years and I'm very pleased with my decision. My pro and con is the same which is the recovery house i loved it and i needed it but i really missed my family. So i am posting a before picture and 2 days post op."
"Dr.BBL is the best hands down he is not a doctor he is a artist who can make you feel really guy good about your body I was so thankful I didnt waste my 6500$ on some surgeon I would have regretted I decided to save extra and spend more but the results are really worth my time and my money the healing processes is rough not fun but your going to be feeling yourself and look like a boss feel like a Kardashian when you are fully well. Tha is 100% great team"

I can’t wait to see what the final outcome will look like.Updated on 16 Jun 2019:And most importantly I forgot to give a shout out to all of the staff at Arijai especially Tamika.

The recovery house was such a wonderful experience. LET ME TELL YOU! Tamika at the recovery house will take care of you to the very last detail. She’s an angel."
"I feel very grateful with surgery and the recovery - My experience has been great for the start. I was able to get on a fast track date. I dealt with everyone in the office over the phone and was pleased at how they didn't miss a beat, I traveled from Phoenix, AZ. I stayed at the recovery house where Tamika took great care of me and the 4 other girls here. Her food is the best. I loved the comradery that you feel at the house with the girls going through the same thing you are. Everyone has been so nice. Of course I'm loving my results. My waste is getting smaller and smaller and my butt is coming through. Definitely worth the money, the pain. I feel very grateful with surgery and the recovery. W/o the recovery house I wouldn't have been able to do it. Definitely recommend to add the 5 night stay, everything is included and they are so knowledgeable."
"Dr. BBL the great - Had a great experience at the recovery house. Tamika is the best!! Without her the recovery house wouldn’t be the same. Thank you to all of Dr. B’s staff and a special thanks to Dr. Bbl himself!!! I love my new curves and booty!!!"
"Lipo 360 and Bbl - Dr Balgobin and his staff was very professional. He took the time to ask me what I wanted to achieve, he is very approachable, kinda cute, and values his patients. The procedure went well in my opinion with less bruising and pain than I anticipated. I LOVE MY RESULTS!!! I stayed at the recovery house where Edna and Tamika took great care of me and they are a wealth of knowledge.. (listen to them!) Edna was leaving the day I came in so most of my stay Tamika assisted me. She helped with pretty much anything I needed, going to the bathroom, helping with showers, changing bandages and Tamika cooked every meal which by the way was very tasty! Tamika also took me to all my post op appointments. Overall I definitely Dr Balgobin and the recovery house. A definite 5 star rating!!! I highly recommend!!"
"Dr. BBL is Absolutely AMAZING - Dr. Chris Balgobin aka dr BBL aka magician is thee best cosmetic surgeon in the game. He is so professional, always smiling, takes so much pride in his work, truly loves what he does, loves all his patients & more importantly delivers REALISTIC expectations/results. He turned my wish pictures into REAL LIFE in a matter of hours!!! My hips, waist & of course my Booty have put my confidence which was already pretty high OVER THE TOP!!! Dani, the surgery nurse, is VERY serious about getting you your best results while healing. She’s so crucial in your healing process. Chris with guest services is always one phone call away. The recovery house is beautiful, clean & there are home cooked meals that even accommodated me being vegan. Ms Edna took over the recovery house on the last day & It was like having my mom there! So much love for all you guys & thank you for putting the safety of your patients FIRST!!!"

I had an amazing experience from the day I arrived day till I left.Dr. Bbl is exceptional all I had to do is show him my wish picture and he gave me a body of a goddess, seriously. I will totally come back for different procedures and recommend Dr bbl to my friends and family. He is awesome and always there to answer your questions. Dani was very awesome helped me with all the questions I had and was able to help me feel better about the surgery.I stayed at the recovery house and Chris is amazing and easy to communicate with, Gale was great she was there for me and the rest of the girls there all the time I can not thank her enough for everything she did to help me during my recovery."

I would also like to ask you if you could give all ur patients Janae’s phone number for after care since she is very good at what she does (lymphatic Drainage massage) and since she is very good with human body. She is helping me a lot if it wasn’t her I would of be already in emergency room because of the fluid that built up in my body she helps me a lot and she does check up on me every day to see how I m recovering and also she tells me what my next steps are what i would need etc i just wish I would get her phone number in the beginning before the surgery i would of over stayed and get a good lymphatic Drainage massage package from her. After she gave me the lymphatic drainage massage for the first time in your office I felt so good so light and relaxed and I seen later on good results when I got home I looked up on the internet for janae to make sure I keep good detailed after care. wish I could have the massage and care for 2 more weeks I m sure I would be done with fluid in my body and swelling. I m still great full for that she checks up on me everyday so please make sure ur patient get her phone number at the beginning when they arrive at the recovery house."

"I went in just wanting to have more confidantes in wearing my clothes and having a nice figure but OMG! - Dr Balgoblin is a down to earth person. He tells you how it is and thats what I liked about him. He loves what he does and he takes good pride in it. My husband traveled with me for the procedure and he like his personality. He answered all our questions a and concerns we had. I went in just wanting to have more confidantes in wearing my clothes and having a nice figure but OMG!! Dr. B gave me more then that. I am so HAPPY with my results that I never thought I would have my shape back again. I know as weeks go by my results are going to be AMAZING!!! Thank you so much to the staff and the recovery house for all that you guys do to make us comfortable. Thank you Dr. B you are AWESOME!"
"Lipo 360 with BBL - So pleased with my results. Had Surgery with Dr. Balgobin (Dr. BBL). My main desire was to have my love handles removed so that my waist could be snatched. Of course I wanted a nice booty, being that I did not have much back there. Dr. BBL fulfilled all of my wants and needs. I would recommend anyone to check him out if you meet the clearance for surgery."
"Worth the Jaunt Across the Country - So glad I travelled to Minnesota and headed the advice to stay at their Recovery House! I love my BBL, I have always been busty and had a plump behind, however I did not have an hourglass figure because I had no definition with my waist and lacked hips. Now I have both and couldn’t be happier! I knew Doctor Balgobin and his staff would be the best right away everyone there is so helpful and respond to any inquiries immediately. They are honestly the best from the reception desk over to the Recovery House."
"I’m 3 Weeks Post Op As of Now. So Far Good. - I had 1000cc put into each cheek. I was actually afraid it was going to be too big now that swelling is going down I’m scared it isn’t enough haha. Which I’m sure is common. I’m excited to see what my “final “ results are going to look like. I did have Jplasma instead of tummy tuck I had no desire to have that big of a scar. That is actually how I found Dr.BBL."
"Lipo 360 with BBL - Dr. Balgobin is amazing!!! Very nice and professional. Excellent bedside manners. This was my first cosmetic procedure and Dr B and his team really made me feel so comfortable and made the whole process easy for me. Dr. B loves what he does and he’s amazing at it. I love my results so far. The day of the procedure Danielle was very nice and informative. Alison my nurse anesthetist was great. Cindy helped me in the pacu after the procedure. I stayed at the recovery house and I wouldn’t have survived without Tamika and Gale! They were there for me the whole time to help me get to the bathroom, cook for me, run errands for me, and take me to my post op appointments. I would recommend Dr. Balgobin and his team for anyone looking into liposuction and/or BBL."
"Amazing Doctor - I had done A LOT of extensive research before choosing dr bbl for my lipo 360 with bbl. my results are amazing. I get compliments every where I go and I have even had doctors tell me that his work is the best they’ve ever seen. His work is life changing. He contours not only your butt , he contours your waist and hips to give you that natural look and so you don’t look like an ant. By far, he’s the best in the business and is easy to contact with questions post surgery."
"Pleased Customer - I have become the body goals staple in my office and family!!’ thank you so much for my new body and my new found confidence it’s the best money I’ve ever spent an investment on myself thank you! Signed Over satisfied"
"2 months post op - I got surgery on dec 18th, 2018. I got j-plasma lipo 360, and a fat transfer (bbl). Dr.BBL has literally did amazing work. The pictures he took do no justice to his work because omg do i look amazing! Super natural no crazy ant booty. Literally just the way i wanted it. My only complaint is i wish i did a fat transfer to my boobs. Otherwise ladies he is worth the money he costs. All inclusive recovery house? How can you not. As far as improvements i would recommend Dr.B getting a massage therapist in house to visit the girls and give massages at the recovery house. But all in all i loved my experience, from the nurses, to doctor B. It was amazing.Updated on 1 Mar 2019:These are my before and after pics. Some are my personals some are the ones taken day before surgery and right after while still on the table. Give your body time to heal because i look so different from day 1 post op til now."
"Long Awaited BBL..Take 2 - I was scheduled last year but had to postpone for medical reasons. In between time, my doc moved to Orlando. So! Going with a new doctor @ a different practice. Dr. Balgobin or Dr.BBL. He’s at the ARIJAI over in Minneapolis, MN.Updated on 19 Feb 2019:I just want a sexy shape.a juicy booty Nice hips. Snatched waist. Flat tummyIN THE MOST NATURALLEST WAY.Updated on 19 Mar 2019:Can’t believe I was one of the five chosen winners for the 2019 tax season giveaway!! I’m beyond excited and so grateful to dr.bbl and staff at Arijai esthetics. I’ve been stalking the page ever since I found him right here on real self also on ig & Snapchat.

Making my final payment bright and early tmrw morning AS SOON AS I WAKE UP LMAOthen all I gotta do is labs, medical clearance, buy some bbl supplies and jump on this plane..."
"Dr BBL IS AWESOME! - I followed Dr BBL for over a year as I did other docs before making my decision to book with him. I loved how he was real and didn’t “show boat” on his social media posts. He is exactly the same in person as he is on INSTAGRAM! Soft spoken, informative and 100% real. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly that. I would recommend him to anyone, I plan on going back in 6 months to add a little more booty than what I originally wanted lol he is so worth it and the recovery house is worth it too!"
"BBL with lipo 360 and J plasma skin tightening - YESSS Ladies!!!! - I cannot express enough gratitude and thanks to Dr. Balgobin and his staff for the amazing care I received. Dr. B is extremely knowledgeable and took care to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process, from consult, preparation, surgery, to after care. He and his staff were (and still are) always available to answer any questions or concerns I might have about the procedure. After the care I received, I can truly say I never would have done things any other way. I chose to stay at the recovery house (Tamika was a god send) where I was completely taken care of after surgery. I am now 5 months post op and still cannot believe how amazing my results are as they continue to improve (both because of the decreased swelling and J plasma skin tightening). I had consulted with other physicians who suggested a tummy tuck, but I wasn’t willing to do this. J plasma is definitely an add on I would recommend ladies!!!! I completely and utterly recommend Dr Balgobin and his team."
"My experience! Lipo 360/ J plasma lipo inner thigh - My experience was absolutely amazing! Dr b and his team make you feel like you’re home! Danny the nurse! Loveeee her!! She really cares about your well being! I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor! The facility is extremely clean and nice. I also stayed in the recovery house and when I tell you it was truly amazing! Super clean and it’s huge! Tamika from elite recovery is amazing! I could go on an on but to sum it all up! I would tell you guys to truly look in to someone that cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable!Updated on 16 Feb 2019:I’m only 3 weeks post opp! My waist continues to get smaller and smaller! I cant stress enough how important it is to make sure you stay in your garment everyday all day!! Lol Instead of me buying a whole new garment when i get smaller I took it to get altered! That’s what I would recommend cause you will continue to go down. "
"I have not had any of the invasive surgical procedures so I cannot speak to that but I love going to Andrea for my laser hair removal treatments and have had two facials with skin pen and UV light treatment. Andrea is so calming and kind, it is such a relaxing visit and skin feels great after. I personally didn't do well with the skin care line but my face is pretty picky when it comes to skin care products. It's also unfortunate that the skincare line doesn't count toward Brilliant Distinction points but it did feel amazing, smelled great and wasn't too expensive. My skin just didn't agree with it. I go to Cindy for my Botox and while I usually get discounts working in healthcare, I like her so much, I'd pay the extra. She gives touch ups after 2 weeks for free if you aren't pleased with anything. She is very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the face and physiology behind the work she does. It's reassuring having an actual nurse doing the treatments knowing she has education and specialized training in her specialty. Cindy and Andrea are both a delight to chat with during my treatments. I even received Botox from Dr. BBL himself. He was so down to earth and not like most plastic surgeons I've dealt with in the past. He was just your average, normal guy and I felt he was genuine. I gave 4/5 stars only because the reception staff has some ways to go and I'm not a huge fan of the skin care line. The ambience and decor of the place is trendy yet comfortable and clean. I never have a hard time scheduling with my crazy schedule. I've been going here for several months and have no plans to go elsewhere anytime soon."
"Balgobin doll - He's a very knowledgeable Doctor Personable and welcoming. I loved the entire staff. They are also very knowledgeable & friendly. The operating & coordinating staff makes sure you are well aware of what's all going to take place. They also make that your accompany companion knows what is all going down.too. They explain what to do while your recovering and open all the lines for communication available. I had a few minor concerns, about drainage and they assured me everything was fine. On my post-op visits they made sure I was well aware of the things I needed to do; everything was healing well.Updated on 10 Jan 2019:Here's a few photos. You can see a small difference. Again I didnt get the usual huge booty, he enhanced my already curves. I didnt have a butt (to me) and I rarely showed it. Now with my new lil booty & hips, I'm more confident. Every chance I get I through it in the pic first lol. I'll try to.upliad more when I figure this out."
"Lipo 360 - My experience was great from the recovery house to Dr B himself. Is he a board certified plastic surgeon, n....has he been highly train, and masterd the skills of lipo and bbl without a doubt! His work is phanomal and results are consistent. Their were 2 girls at the recovery house who've gotten bbl the same time I got lipo and both results were amazing.He is very professional, has a clean sterile environment and his team is amazing. I can honestly say you are in good hands with this guy."
"I'm going to start off with this I have never had anything done at Arijai before BUT I came to the Arjai Aesthetics and Wellness Beauty Bash 2018 MY REVIEW IS BASED ON THE 10 PATIENTS I spoke with as well as the reps and doctor. Coming into the Beauty Bash you can already tell Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness have a well known presence in the Twin Cities community. I arrived 15mins after the event started and the place was packed with old patients, new patients and soon to be future patients. With skin care demos going on and the buzz of everyone excited to see the great services Arijai has to offer. It's hard not to get excited.This office offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic services with Dr. Chris Balgobin- ·He is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery ·Fellow of Board Certification in Anti-aging & Rejuvenation Medicine. ·Licensed in 3 states- Minnesota, Florida and California·Has worked closely with Dr. Miami for the past 3 years. At Arijai they really try to treat their patients with a personal approach not making them feel like they are just a number and from the testimonials I received from patients it definitely shows that they are doing something right at Arijai. I heard stories of transformation in confidence to how much the patients absolutely love the staff and the procedures they have had done. What is really nice is that they are able to do surgical procedures right there in office. Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness is an Accredited Surgical Facilty they do procedures such as liposuction to fat transfers. They have a staff of licensed nurses & LPN's for when you are finished with your procedure. The aesthetics side is wonderful too. I spoke with a representative from SkinPen her name was Haley she was able to give me some great information about the SkinPen which is a microneedling device for acne scars or discoloration. I also met Andrea who was so sweet and told me all about Salt Facial which is a skin renewal treatment that is a alternative to peels- it's less abrasive. I was able to see what kind of damage I have done to my skin with SkinCeuticals. The rep was able to tell me and recommend what would be a great fit for my skin and the best part is that I was able to see everything she saw and know what she was talking about while she was looking at my skin. All the staff is very knowledgeable about all the products and services that is offered. If I ever need aesthetics done I know where to look now!"
"I saw Andrea today for a silk peel. I had no idea what to expect and was amazed at the service I received. It was a true spa experience complete with warming table, lavender aromatherapy, massage and more. The silk peel felt refreshing and my skin feels rejuvenated. Andrea is very skilled and professional as well as personable. The staff at the desk at Arijai were very friendly and welcoming. Overall this was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend Arijai Aesthetic and Wellness."
"No Hips No Problem ;) - Dr.BBL and his staff are the bomb!! I can't thank them enough how my life has changed since I got my bbl and 360 lipo! I complements everywhere I go. My butt looks very natural and my waist looks great! I didn't have hips but Dr.bbl did his magic! Boom! Hips! The rehab with Mary was great too! She's very supportive and helps a lot! You go girl! I'm def going to get s second round in 2 years!"
"Brazilian butt lift - Where do I even begin?! I have wanted a BBL for the longest time!!! I have a slim figure and was really worried I wouldn’t have enough fat, so I searched & searched for a surgeon who specialized in BBL’s. I came across Dr. Balgobins page on instagram @dr.bbl and was truly amazed at all of his work! At the time I worked for a plastic surgeon in Dallas but wasn’t convinced he should be MY surgeon. So I made the decision to set up a consultation with the man himself, Dr. Balgobin! I am honestly beyond happy with my results! He listened to everything I said and gave me the exact results I wanted. His staff was amazing from start to finish. The manager, Chris, picked me up from the airport and he is a super nice guy. He took me to the office where I met up with the nurse, Dani, and she was so sweet. She explained exactly what I needed to do the night before my surgery. My recovery went smooth, I had my stitches removed 5 days after my surgery with Cindy, who was also super sweet and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and the best decision I’ve ever made! I feel confident in my own skin all thanks to Dr. Balgobin and his wonderful staff! "
"Amazing Results, Amazing Doctor !! - First of all I am 5 weeks post op..first time ever getting surgery like this and i must say I had a great experience with this doctor from the staff to the recovery home, answered all of my questions and even still answer my emails to this day. I was back up and on my feet by the second week. I had little to no bruising an my insecions aren’t even noticeable. Great doctor!!"
"Thee Best Plastic Surgery Experience - I hade thee best experience, the day of my consultation I was able to finally meet the Surgeon that many of my co workers talk highly about Dr. Chris Balgobin. All my questions where answered I knew what to expect. The same day of my consultation I paid my deposit my research was over. The day of my surgery I was nervous but when I met all the surgical team members I calmed down they were so nice and welcoming. My surgery started at 7 I was home by 10. Honestly I hade no pain for 12 days I didn't have a pain pump or experal. I just hade discomfort when moving around. I did have pain on day 13 which was nerve pain that sucks but that's comes and goes. Very happy with my results and so are my family and friends I highly recommend Dr. Balgobin for lipo 360 and BBL you will not be disappointed. He is truly the best."
"Great Overall Experience - Amazing doctor with great staff. Recovery house was definitely worth it. Went to Dr. BBL for revision of lipo 360 done by previous surgeon. I wish I went to him originally as it would have saved a lot of time and money!Updated on 27 Jun 2018:Still some swelling but looking better every week. I highly suggest lymphatic massage to improve results and speed up healing.Updated on 30 Jul 2018:Swelling is mostly gone. Still some irregularities but overall an improvement!"
"Spoke with dr. BBL today. He is for the safety of his patients. I was not eligible for the procedure because my BMI is above standards but he was honest and was looking out for my safety! Great doctor. Good man! Looking out for your well being. He is not there just for the money, he cares about his patients. He will do the procedure when you're at your healthiest to give you the best; most desirable results. Once i lose the weight i would not trust anyone else to do my procedure. Thank you dr. BBL for your honesty and your commitment to doing what's right! Five stars."
"I had such a great experience with Dr. Balgobin and his team! From the very beginning when I consulted with him until this day. I booked my surgery eight months out in order to save money and pay cash. I couldn’t wait until surgery day. I stayed at the Recovery House and the wonderful staff (Dom and Tamika) took great care of me. The day of surgery, I went in and the staff was extremely friendly and made sure they answered any questions I had. I met with Dr. Balgobin and he is the most humblest and kind doctor I’ve met. I agreed to Snapchat and Instagram and asked him to give a shout out and he made my case so awesome lol. Anyway, on to the operating room I go. The anesthesiologist was great and I also had a skin treatment done by Andrea which was wonderful. When I woke up, the nurse was right next to me making sure I was okay. I felt as if I went to sleep and took a five minute nap and it was all done! Dr. B was there to let me know everything went well. I am an out of state patient and they have checked on me to make sure everything is good and ask if I have any questions. I highly recommend going here. I would do it all over again if I had to! By the way, I had Lipo 360 and my results are amazing!!!"
"I haven’t received my liposuction surgery yet but Natasha has been so helpful! I became frustrated with the process, (no fault of arijai aesthetics) but Natasha has been patient, understanding, and very knowledgeable. I can’t wait for my surgery!"
"My recovery was quick and fast I was up the same day - Went to dr.bbl 2 times love it my body is shape amazing .The recovery my was quick and fast . His recovery house was clean and with good meals they come check on you make sure your okay or need anything it was a huge help special when your in pain ."
"Awesome experience - What an amazing experience!!!! I am a 46 year old mother of 2. I was very unhappy with my appearance and doctor balgobin compmetwly sculpted my body almost to perfection. Very professional staff and a very talented doctor!!"
"Beyond my expectations - My experience with Dr.B was beyond my expectations he really took the time to assist my wants and needs also putting me at a place of complete comfort. I'm so happy I decided to go with him and I made my decision by looking through his IG pics and hearing from other girls experience with him and I just knew he was going to be the doctor for me and that my search had ended. It didn't take long for me to say ok I've seen enough and his expertise in booty was what I needed and today I'm happy with his work ! June will make a year since my bbl and I'm in love with it people can see that too lol !!! Make him your doctor you will not regret I guarantee you."
"Your search is over! - Ladies, your search stops here! If you desire detail, outstanding skills, professionalism, and compassion – your search is over! From the moment I scheduled a consultation, to the actual date of surgery (March 2018), the service provided to me as a patient was outstanding. Dr. Balgobin and his staff are amazing! They demonstrated a great deal of care and compassion throughout the process, and the post op. Last year my hemoglobin dropped lower than a 12, which caused my surgery to be rescheduled for March of 2018. I was extremely shocked to see the care that Dr. Balgobin exuded for my safety (and life). Ladies, he truly does care! Your life is much more important to him than your money. He makes himself readily available for questions, he’s very responsive, extremely humble - and cute! *wink* His facility, Arijai Aesthetics is very clean, and very inviting, which is very important! Speaking from my personal experience, his work is worth every single dollar you will spend. Shot out to his amazing staff at Arijai Aesthetics, and a special hug to Natosha (Aries love)! To Dominique (recovery house), thank you for your care! Dr. Balgobin, thank you!!!"
"BBL/lipo 360 - Lipo 360 And BBL on April 30, 2018 with Dr BalgobinI have always had a boxy figure. Not very feminine at all. So my goal with the whole thing was just to improve my overall silhouette. The closer I could get to “curvy”, the better. So I’m currently just at 3 weeks post op. So I am still seeing changes everyday. But overall very happy with my results at this time Updated on 26 May 2018:Currently at 3.5 weeks post op. Just transitioned to a smaller garment. I actually cut pretty big sections of my first garment out at about 1 week post op because it was so painful on my butt. Unfortunately it did change the way that the garment fit but it was still functional. Since a lot of my swelling has come down at this point, my new garment is pretty tight. But manageable. Not painful. My ribs and my butt are still fairly sensitive but I wouldn’t call it “pain”. It’s a very strange feeling to not have complete feeling to light touch in certain areas. Sometimes my stomach itches and I go to scratch and I can’t feel it! Lol But that’s getting bette day by day as well. I have started to get used to sleeping on my stomach although I initially HATED it. And I am doing much better with my bbl pillow in the car. I have been having a little bit of lower back pain just because of how I have positioned on myself on the pillow sometimes. Nothing too bad though. My butt seems to get smaller by the day. I’m hoping it starts to stabilize sometime soon because I’d be pretty happy with what I have now. But I can tell I’m still somewhat swollen. I have read from some doctors that the most significant changes happen in the first 4 weeks. So hopefully I only have some minor changes ahead. One can only hope ???????????"
"I love my results! - I had an amazing experience from the stay at the recovery house to the surgery to the recovery. He did such an amazing job, I couldn’t be happier with the results. He knows exactly what he’s doing , I recommend him to everyone. He is super friendly and educated."
"Brazilian Butt Lift - Flew in to MN For a Brazilian butt lift with Dr.Balgobin aka dr.bbl. Hes a booty artist! I must say I’ve been very fortunate. Recovery has been SO much easier than expected!! Day 1 I woke up feeling great went to the recovery house was walking around going up and down stairs probably 5 to 6 times the day of surgery! Day two I was a little more sore and stiff, but still nothing bad like I expected...I would get headaches and feel nauseous but I think that was from the painkillers. Next day I went in for my 2 day post op. Met with Dr B he took me out of my garment Removed all the bandages and tape, put in some lips foam and I went back to the recovery house. I have stopped taking vicodin the morning of day 2. Switched 400mg ibuprofen feeling much better! Unfortunately started my period so that sucks... buttttt Today is day three pplA shower and I have been hanging out feeling great not doing much just chilling ready to go home tomorrow!Updated on 20 Feb 2018:Day 4 felt even better, went to my last postop appointment and got my stitches removed. He didn’t use drains and I had no drainage which was amazing. Nurse said I looked great and was good to go. I must say that the flight home was horrible. 3.5 hrs Is NO FUN. I got a seat on the back of the plane and told the flight attendants about my procedure so they were totally cool with me standing when the seatbelt Sign was on but I feel like the pressure made me super swollen and sitting did not feel good even though I had my BBL pillow and a regular pillow. I would suggest flying out a few days later. On the flip side its amazing to be home ????Updated on 20 Feb 2018:Feeling much betterI learned how to lay comfortably on the couch!If you get a bunch of pillows and prop them under your back, if you have a giant ottoman you can just sit your butt in between the couch in the Ottoman and it is so much more comfortable with zero pressure on butt and hips ????????Updated on 28 Feb 2018:Sized down in my my garment yesterday. Still super swollen but the waist is snatched. Feeling great! Updated on 19 Apr 2018:It’s been exactly 9 weeks! Feeling great, still wearing my compression garment and using bbl pillow while driving...I still get swollen and sore if I don’t wear it for a few hrs... getting better day by day Updated on 19 Apr 2018:"
"34 Mother of 3 Round 2 Lipo 360 with BBL - First off I have never written a review before... but after my unforgettable experience at Arijai Aesthetic and wellness with Dr Christopher Balgobin I had to come on here and let everyone know how amazing this man really is ... after going to Miami and having a prior Bbl with another doctor I was sadly disappointed and discouraged not happy with my results right away I started doing my research and came across Dr.B ... I loved his work on IG so I decided to take the chance and fly down to Minneapolis to have round 2 lipo 360 with BBL hands down the best decision I have ever made. He literally made me into a Barbie everything that I wanted from the first surgery and more higher than I could ever expected. He snatched my waist so much my friends thought I had my ribs removed ???? And gave me the apple booty I always dreamed of . I have never met anyone like Dr.B he is the nicest most humble man that makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. There are not enough words to express my gratitude and how grateful I am. He actually cares about his patients and makes you feel important doesn't treat you like your just another number which I have had before from previous doctors . Thank you Dr.B you are the BBL god ????"
"I suffer from breakouts and bad scarring, but thanks to Carly at Arijai my skin is doing much better! Highly recommend the silk peels, such a great way to clean your skin!"
"4th and Final Baby. Now Work! - I've always had a nice shape and booty. Was very small. Had my last son in 2011 and gained 60 lbs (190 my heaviest). Well, I went to the gym. 2 a days! Ate some what healthy and lost all that ugly fat. Got down to 155lbs. Great shape and hips. Booty was perfect (although it decreased in size) Fast forward life, heartbreak, refound love and another baby 2016... I'm back fat again (184lbs) I dont mind putting in the work again. I just want a jumpstart. As much as I worked out I still had a pudge that did not go anywhere. (The untrained eye would barely notice) Anywho... I have a consult today with Dr. BBL. I'm nervous and excited. We'll see.....Updated on 8 May 2017:Had a consultation and booked for may 30th. Someone cancelled.. YAYUpdated on 8 Jun 2017:Omg.. I had the surgery and this recovery is no joke! I'm swelling so bad. My back hurts from laying on my stomach lifting my head to do everything. Every review Ive read doesn't explain in depth this healing process. It is no joke. My butt is HUGE. He only added 1300 cc total. I always had a big butt just wanted to round it out. I also had the O-shot"
"Lipo 360 W/ BBL - Dr. Balgobin Aka Dr. BBL - Hello Ladies,I’ve stalked this site for over a year and have finally decided to have the BBL procedure. I’ve researched the doctors in Jacksonville, FL where I live and also in Miami. They all have some great reviews but I couldn’t find a doctor as consistent with their work as, Dr. Christopher Balgobin of Arijai Aesthetic aka Dr. BBL. His attention to detail and organic talent is what attracted me to him. Although, I would rather stay local and recover at home, I only want to have this procedure once. My surgery date is April 20, 2017. I’m flying into Minnesota the day before and will be staying at the recovery house. I'm 5'10" and 198 lbs. I will post pics soon. Would love to chat with anyone heading to Dr. BBL around the same time as me. Good luck to all of you!Updated on 16 Apr 2017:Hey Ladies,Happy Resurrection Day! It's a blessing to be here and I'm so grateful for God's grace, mercy and unconditional love. So guys, it's hitting home that this is really about to happen. I'm excited, slightly nervous and ready for my Mini-Mommy Makeover. Like most of you, I've always put myself last. I'm always there for everyone else but me. It's time to do something for me and take time for myself. I plan to stay in MN for 10 days but I'm not sure if it will last. I haven't been away from my hubby and kids since retiring from the Navy in 2014. I'm sure I'll be ok. I'm such a procrastinator, I haven't purchased my supplies but I have my clothing all ready to go. I plan to check one medium size suitcase and carry on a backpack. I promise to post pics the night before. Ladies, you all are amazing and I am so happy I found realself! Would love to here any insight or recommendations you all may have.Updated on 25 Apr 2017:Hi Ladies, hope you all are doing well. I'm currently on day 5 post-op. I have minimal pain, swelling and some discomfort. The worst day for me was Day 2 po. I had my first lymphatic massage on yesterday and it was amazing. Dr. Chris Balgobin (Dr. BBL) and his staff are the best example of what any medical clinic should be or strive to be. From day one they have answered and addressed all of my concerns and questions. After speaking with Dr. Balgobin over the phone, I knew I wouldn't risk spending my hard earned money on an fair doctor. He was so sincere, explained his findings and recommendations but left the decision up to me. After arriving at the clinic the day of my surgery, I felt like family. Dani, his surgical nurse was welcoming, compassionate, caring, and attentive. I felt like family. They made me feel like we had known each other for years. The medical care I received was far above my expectations and made it so easy to relax and trust their skills. The anesthetist was great and explained everything to me. She was funny and down to earth. Kristin, one of his nurses did my lymphatic massage and she works wonders. She is very personable, caring, and has amazing hands. Wish I was able to stay longer to get another massage. Dr. Balgobin's bedside manner was so attentive, he explained each step and asked for my wishes. I can't say enough about this clinic or their hard work. I have never in my adult years experienced the level of care I received from the amazing staff at Arijai Aesthetic. If and only if I had to have a procedure done again, I would only go to Dr. Balgobin and his staff. My results are phenomenal, even with the swelling, I can see definition in my stomach and my butt is full and beautiful. I'm so happy I trusted my gut and went with Dr. Balgobin vice saving a few dollars and not being confident in the local doctors work. I will post about the recovery house later. To Dr. Balgobin and his team: Thank you for the genuine love, care, peace of mind, outstanding results and new found confidence you've given me. May God bless all of you in your endeavors. Will try to post pics soon. Need some rest.Updated on 25 Apr 2017:"
"Lipo 360 W/ BBL - Dr. Balgobin Aka Dr. BBL - Hello Ladies, I’ve stalked this site for over a year and have finally decided to have the BBL procedure. I’ve researched the doctors in Jacksonville, FL where I live and also in Miami. They all have some great reviews but I couldn’t find a doctor as consistent with their work as, Dr. Christopher Balgobin of Arijai Aesthetic aka Dr. BBL. His attention to detail and organic talent is what attracted me to him. Although, I would rather stay local and recover at home, I only want to have this procedure once. My surgery date is April 20, 2017. I’m flying into Minnesota the day before and will be staying at the recovery house. I'm 5'10" and 198 lbs. I will post pics soon. Would love to chat with anyone heading to Dr. BBL around the same time as me. Good luck to all of you!"
"Lipo 360/ with BBL WITH MR.dr.BBL HIMSELF - I was part of the Dr.Miami squad doctors contest and I won this surgery with dr.b! SINCE DAY ONE HE HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE (hard to come by with doctors who have a good following ect) he messages me back usually within the hour EVEN ON VACATION ????! His staff was so friendly and welcoming , they had balloons all set up so pretty the day of surgery, everyone was very understanding my anxiety was through the roof , but everyone was very nice about it and talked me through everything ! Doctor b puts his heart into his patients and results (EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT remember that as far as results go) I see a lot of negative comments like her butts too big ect ect look YOU LOOSE 30-50% off that fat that is injected , so always go bigger is my advice I have spoke to many of his patients and everyone has the same take on that subject so don't be so quick to judge! Anyways! Back to surgery day ! I was in and out the first day ( I usually have a hard time waking up with anesthesia) so I expected that in a way! The 2-3-4 day SUCKED as far as pain , (I never take narcotics because of my family history with addiction makes me scared to try them) I did take one pain med the day after bc I was desperate for relief ! But then went without pain meds until night time (DONT DO THAT) after that I've been taking tylonel and ibprophen ! I am still extremely sore I am on day 6 technically ! I don't Sleep much because it's hard to get comfortable sleeping on your belly , my advice go spend the money on a nice body pillow roll towels put them under shoulders I slept 5 hours last night with that regimen :) during the day pain is controlled (I have my moments of m effing everything) lol but getting better each day! Late night and early morning is the WORST for me anyway I assume lack of sleep and being stiff all night plays a roll in that , I'm going to start stretching before bed to see if it helps ! Anyways I would recommend doctor b aka DR BBL (FIND HIM ON IG) 1 million times over his nurse was such a sweetie as well! Listen ladies if someone is offering this surgery cheap DO NOT DO IT , you don't want to cheat yourself on this kind of thing and take it seriously when choosing your doc! If you have any questions please feel free to message me !!Updated on 8 Apr 2017:??????????"
"35 No Kids. Previous Lipo - Minnesota, MN - Dr. Balgobin really made my confidence come back full force. I don't feel the depression I did before. My everything was so torn and I had to walk around in a skin I hated. I do remember thinking he realizes how much deeper than the surface this is for some of us. I feel so complete as a woman and I'm not even fully healed yet. People can be so mean...I've been laughed at wearing certain things and it made me feel really crappy but that's the past I'm super happy now and oh sexxy as heck."
"Very Concerned about his patients and best interest"
"Great experience - Dr Balgobin and his staff are amazing!! I had a great experience with them everyone was so nice and comfortable from the receptionist to the anesthesiologist to Dr B himself.. (sidenote: Danielle his nurse is awesome!! So so sweet) and my results are amazing! Never in a million years did I think I will have the curves and hourglass that I do now! Thumbs up to Dr B and his staff!"
"Sensational_bbl_ba_journey - Ive been researching for months and narrowed my top 3:kovanda, gervais and balgobin. I decided to go with dr.balgobin because of his amazing technique and results (you can see his work on instagram:dr.bbl) and boy was it a great experience! His humble, professional and honest atmosphere and staff made this a relaxing and incredicle journey for me. I am very excited to see how well my bbl turns out after the safety net of 3 mths-6 mths. Wizh me luck!Updated on 9 Mar 2019:So it's been about 2 years since I got my BBL with dr Balgobin. And I am so glad I did. Every results differ on how well you maintain your body after surgery so when I was able, I went to the gym 4x a week and harvest my butt as much as possible and boy is it worth it (see pic) I just took this 2 days ago and yes, my booty is still perky and alive after 2 years. Some days I dont work out and my butt still a lil perky but a few legs day in and it's jumps back to being a shelf! This is the best investment I ve ever made in my life and I am actually much healthier than I be ever been because I ve never exercised as much as I have till now. In a way, getting bbl regained my confidence and interest in my body. Thank God for bbl and great doctors like dr. Balgobin!!!"
"34 Mother of 2.. My 3rd and Final BBL - Minneapolis, MN - I just got my 3rd bbl w/Dr. Bbl. Dr. Balgobin was amazing & his work is awesome!! By far my favorite out of all 3 doctors ive been to. My 1st bbl was with Dr. Weisman in Chicago, then Dr. Memar in Chicago. Dr. Balgobin answered ally questions, his staff is amazing. Everyone was positive & nice. Dr. Balgobin did everything i wanted! He was so aggressive with the lipo & i love the garment they use. He also sent me home with a bbl pillow so i didn't have to buy one. I would definitely recommend him!"
"31 Year Old, No Kids, Lipo 360 Burnsville, MN - So......where do I begin? I was very unhappy with myself for over 5 years. I used to be the thin girl that could eat what she wanted and never had to worry about a pound. Then my mid twenties took hold of me and my genetics on Botha sides decided it was time for me to be fat. And I mean really fat for me it was bad. I'm 6'0 tall so of course I always heard "you look good, you carry it well", blah blah blah. I had enough of the sympathy compliments and the hiding myself from my wonderful boyfriend. I researched until I was all researched out and found my gem Doctor. Dr. BBL on Instagram and he changed my life and outlook on everything. Thank God I found him and he got my right on together. Ladies and gents....if this is something that you want, don't hesitate for the sake of others and being a social outcast. Do it for you, it will totally be worth it.Updated on 16 Aug 2016:Almost three weeks out and I feel amazing, I think I'm healing well although I have nothing to refer that to having never had surgery. Only pain I feel is going from laying to sitting to standing or sitting to standing. My back has been hurting from slightly leaning forward I'm terrified to stand up straight sometimes. I wanted to share my experiences in great detail so everyone knows what to expect. Lipo hurts A LOT, but the hydrocodone does help. *wink wink*. I didn't have the dissolvable stitches so once my skin started healing over the stitch it hurt like crazy that much more. I got them taken out one week post and that made the world of differemce how I felt. I will post three weeks post op pictures on Friday. He literally curbed a waist for me I can't wait for the swell ping to be gone and see the snatched waist that's left."
"36 Year Old with 2 Kids - Minneapolis, MN - I had lipo 360 with a Brazilian butt lift done by Dr Bolgibin in Minneapolis in May. I could not be any happier with my results. My waist is super tiny and my butt is the perfect big. He is so friendly and easy to talk to. I showed a picture right before my surgery of what my expectations were and let's just say it looks like a carbon copy. I highly recommend him. I traveled across the United States for him."
"Dr.Balgobin Made Me a 10 - Minnesota, MN - So I have always hated the way my body looked. I hated it so much I did smart Lipo when I turned 21. I paid $5500 and the doctors I went with did a terrible job. That's what I get for not doing my research. Finally I waited a while and thought that going to DR would be a good decision. My family disagreed so I chose Dr.Miami. I followed up with his team until I realized the wait was 2 years. So I went with the next best thing Dr. Balgobin!!!!! I checked all his pictures on Instagram and knew he would be it. Cheap ain't good and good ain't cheap. I literally have my boyfriend of 9 years feeling just as good as I feel. I have never felt better in my life. I am so happy with my results I walk with confidence. "Dr.BBL" did this for me!"
"Amazing Work! - Burnsville, MN - I am approaching 40 and I wanted a little boost in my body. Dr Balgobin helped me decide what I needed to accomplish my goals. He is am excellent doctor with alot of knowledge. I also have referred my friends to him because of his excellent work. I would recommend him to everyone that's looking to be their best self."
"Lipo 360 by Dr. BBL -Minneapolis, MN - I was very afraid of liposuction the closer my surgery date was getting but Dr. BBL & his staff made my life so EASY. The doctor will answer your questions & even give you his cell phone number. Yesterday, I took a photo without my garments on & still in complete shock on how great I look. Thank you again!Updated on 5 Aug 2016:"
"25, Mom of 1, Getting a BBL with Dr. Chris Balgobin (Dr.BBL) - Burnsville, MN - I've never been happy with my body shape and have been looking into Brazilian butt lift for a few years now. I finally saved up the money and booked an appointment for June 3. Dr. Balgobin listened to all of my needs and answered all of my questions. I couldn't be mod excited and his staff is extremely helpful. He's 8 hours from where I live so it's not too bad of a drive. Excited for June ????Updated on 11 Apr 2016:no matter how thin I get my double chin doesn't go away and it looks horrible from the side so I'm getting chin lipo while I'm in surgery for my BBL!

"I had laser hair removal done last week. This place is friendly, clean, professional. I was very happy with the results. The environment is very inviting. The staff had exceptional customer service. I like the fact that they take appointments on Saturday, for women with a busy work schedule. I would recommend Dr.Chris Balgobin and his spa to anyone I know."
"Wonderful Smart Lipo by Dr. Chris Balgobin - Burnsville, MN - I decided to do smart lip on those areas that just don't "go away". I felt like I have tried every diet, I am someone that works out and I just came to terms that some areas just will not go away. I got my love handles and belly done and honestly, its the best thing I have ever done! I instantly went down 2 pants sizes and I feel so much more comfortable with my body. I was amazed by how minimal the downtime was, having surgery on a fri and being back at work on a monday. I would recommend any family or friends to Dr. Balgobin at arijai aesthetics, he specializes in smartlipo and made me feel so comfortable at my consult and he did a wonderful job on my body! Thanks dr. B!Updated on 14 May 2015:I am 2 months out post lipo and y swelling has gone down a lot I feel even smaller and tighter. I love it so much now I want to do my legs!"
"Best doctor I've had the pleasure of meeting. If I have a question sometimes he'll answer it on a weekend if I ask Friday on mychart. Sometimes I notice he answers at odd hours like midnight he those days I figure he's on call but he always checks his messages. When I need a refill of my medication he does it right away most doctors will sit there and wait till they feel like it."
"Dr Balgobin is one of the better doctors out there. No wonder he is the boss of the clinic. he listens to me and gives me meds over the phone or over the My Chart."
"Dr Balgobin is very corteous. He takes time with his patients. He cares and listens to them."
"Great doc. Very courteous and well versed in medicine."
"Awesome physician"
