“[Dr. Lacerna] I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking care of me. I haven’t felt so good about wearing a bikini since my first child….[Childbirth] can take a toll on our bodies…my “mommy makeover” has changed my life in a good way.”

“I felt cared for every step of the way. It was obvious I was in capable, caring hands.”
“I am 63 years old and most anyone would think that at such an age a woman would have accepted the imperfections of her physique. Not true! I inherited my father’s pear shape — small upper body, round, large hips– and I was never happy with the way I looked. No matter how much I exercised and dieted, I was never able to change the shape I had been born with. During most of these last 20 years my frustration increased. Looking at my naked body was a bad daily experience… until I decided I had to do something drastic. I threw aside the words of caution one hears or reads about liposuction and after visiting most of the plastic surgeons in the Ventura and Santa Barbara County area I finally found the perfect doctor — William Starr. And what a shining star he is!
For starters, our first interview lasted over an hour and during that time he explained carefully the procedure of liposuction; he answered all my questions and at no moment he encouraged me to undergo the procedure. He wanted me to be well informed, he encouraged me to study and read about liposuction — he wanted me to make up my mind without any pressure. What a contrast with some of the other doctors I had visited before consulting with him! Most of them granted me some rushed, impersonal five or 10 minutes and there was none of the warmth and care that I perceived by simply stepping into Dr. Starr’s office. With the help of video imagery and the coaching of his well-trained technicians, I was able to see how my body would look after the procedure.
When I finally decided to schedule the procedure, I was given plenty of information of what to do before and after surgery. I felt cared for every step of the way. It was obvious I was in capable, caring hands. Even days, weeks and months after the procedure, every time I visited Dr. Starr I felt I was always welcome. Furthermore, the price Dr. Starr quoted was below the others. What a bonus! To receive so much in terms of expertise, care and attention for such a reasonable fee! I just cannot say enough about this unique, caring surgeon and his staff.”
- Happy with my shape at 64
“…I look forward to every visit.”
“Going into Dr. Starr’s office is like walking into a friend’s house. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I go in for facials and laser hair removal all of the time and I look forward to every visit.”

“Instead of a stretched, sharp, and windblown look, I appeared refreshed, natural, and youthful.”
“After consulting with five different plastic surgeons, I picked Dr. William Starr. He had come highly recommended by personal friends and medical professionals. I entered my surgery with confidence and peace. The outcome met all my expectations. Instead of a stretched, sharp, and windblown look, I appeared refreshed, natural, and youthful. The follow up care was very thorough. Dr. Starr and all his staff have treated me with sincere interest and concern. The skin care products and procedures continue to enhance and support the surgery that I had over two years ago. It has been a very positive experience and I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Dr. Starr has made me look more graceful, elegant, refined, and yes, beautiful at 50!”
“I’ve had countless procedures, browlift, nose job, breast augmentation, liposuction and chin implants to name a few, and I just turned 49. I feel as though I have never looked better! Dr. Starr has made me look more graceful, elegant, refined, and yes, beautiful at 50! Aging can be fearful, but Dr. Starr has given me peace of mind. When I go into surgery with Dr. Starr, I never feel the need to “cross my fingers”, I know I will look great!”

“My surgery has boosted my confidence a hundred fold and now I can buy the clothes I want!”
“I’ve always been very flat chested and constantly teased myself for it. Several months ago, after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to see Dr. Starr for a breast augmentation. I told him what I wanted, to look proportional and natural, and I got exactly that! I am so happy with my result that I tell everyone about Dr. Starr and his office. Dr. Starr and the staff are so friendly and compassionate that my appointments there are more like visits than seeing the doctor. My surgery has boosted my confidence a hundred fold and now I can buy the clothes I want!”

A: Recovery time varies from person to person and from surgery to surgery. Consult with your doctor long before your event to make sure you have time for recovery and postoperative visits.
