Reviews for Danville, CA BC Plastic Surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Services
"Im very happy and satisfied with my results. I had the Elite Liposuction to the neck and jowl with Renuvion JPlasma. With Dr. Bansal. I I'm very impressed with my results that I'm planning to do the same procedure to the my back flanks, back rolls."
"At 54 years old, I am excited to share how my experience with Elite MD has had a profound impact on my life. They offer a holistic, 360-degree lifestyle approach that covers physical, mental, and emotional well-being. After enduring two previous surgeries with AirSculpt that left me with PTSD and a completely different look, I was terrified to undergo another procedure. The previous surgeries had caused excruciating pain due to ineffective local anesthesia, making me pass out in both instances. I had always maintained a nice physique, but menopause had left me with some stubborn fat that I couldn't shed.After extensive research, Elite MD stood out. From my first consultation with Trish, I felt genuinely welcomed. We discussed all treatment options and set realistic expectations. Dr. Bansal and the Elite MD staff addressed every concern attentively and thoroughly. I decided on corrective surgery, including sacrum, lower back, flanks, and a slim BBL.Dr. Bansal's approach is something I've never seen in an MD. It's comprehensive and holistic, addressing every aspect of your well-being. His uncommon knowledge of both Western and holistic medicine gives him an edge and superior insight compared to his peers. With Dr. Bansal, the experience was completely different. The anesthesia process was gentle and soothing. Going to sleep and waking up was seamless, which really helped ease my fears. Surgery nurses Tina and Derralyn provided exceptional care, making sure I felt safe and well-cared for throughout the procedure.Elite MD provided thorough health, diet, and pre- and post-operative care. Dr. Bansal's advice on nutrition and lifestyle was incredibly helpful, allowing me to improve my health even before the surgery. Their exceptional care, including on-site lymphatic drainage massages by Rema, sets them apart. Dr. Bansal specializes in corrective surgery, ensuring a very natural look, and treats patients like family. He sets realistic expectations but goes above and beyond to exceed them. Dr. Bansal is not only an excellent surgeon but also a kind and caring family man, which adds to the trust and comfort he provides. Elite MD ensures transparency about costs and diligent follow-up appointments.Thanks to Elite MD, I finally got my body back with a natural appearance. I feel more confident and happier than ever. I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Bansal. They have transformed my life, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and care."
"Vaserliposuction with J-Plasma Renuvion.This was my second surgery with Elite MD. First one was over 10 years ago and I was extremely satisfied with results.I am now three weeks+ since surgery and see dramatic improvement in my stomach/abdomen area. The office follow-up has been very helpful. The lymphatic massages twice a week and aftercare appointments have improved the texture of my abdomen and Rema is a very skilled masseuse. Dr. Bansal and staff are always positive and available for any questions."
"UPDATE!!!I have returned to Dr. Bansal for the second phase of my body sculpting and, once again, my results are wonderful as expected. I had my double chin and upper arms vaser liposuctioned with J plasma skin tightening on both areas. Due to genetics, these areas have always been problematic, even at my lowest weight so it was recommended to have these areas treated not only just for the aesthetic outcomes, but also to reduce overall inflammation. Once again, Dr. Bansal has been emphatic about my role in the outcome of the procedures, focusing on nutrition, meditation, and mindfulness to reduce stress and improve healing. This has resulted in better than expected outcomes for me. Dr. Bansal’s entire team is helpful, supportive, and informed and has made each of my experiences positive ones. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking to improve not only your appearance but wellness as well."

"finally did something for myself! I have been "dreaming" of getting rid of my fat tummy for a long time...too long! I got a referral from a friend and I am so thankful I just went for it. I have always talked myself out of it with the, "it’s too expensive", "I don’t want to be under anesthesia" and "It’s fine the way it is". What I learned was that it was affordable with the financing options, I did not have to go under general anesthesia, and it was perfectly tolerable for me to be sedated for a quick procedure. I met with the consultant for Liposuction with JPlasma skin tightening, and she was lovely and informative. I had some follow up questions and she took my call right away and was able to help me. Then I got to meet with Crystal and Dr. Bansal and they are so easy to talk to and came up with an action plan that was right for me. I was a little nervous the day of, but the awesome nurses at Elite MD put me at ease and got me comfortable right away. I was so impressed with the level of care, it is so different from any other practice I went to over the years. After the surgery, I went home and slept for the rest of the night with zero discomfort. My 20 year old daughter was able to care for me and help with drains, food and helping me walk around a bit. For me there was no pain during the procedure and very little discomfort following, I was on medication, but also numb in the procedure area. I was actually getting myself pretty worked up anticipating the pain, but it never got to any level of true pain. I am just very grateful to the entire team. This is the best thing I have ever done. The customer service element of Elite MD is beyond words. Their main goal is to support you and get you to your goals and they really care. Every person I encountered was at the top of their game, just very impressive. Front desk, scheduler, consultant, management, doctors, nurses, all of it, just wow. I made my body dreams a reality and I am even booked for another procedure because I am worth it. I would whole-heartedly recommend this practice to everyone. I am so happy with my results, I feel so safe and loved by them and my life has been changed for the better because of Elite MD! This is the happiest I have ever been."

"Dr. Vivek Bansal, Crystal, and Elite MD staff gave me life back! Elite MD makes you feel like family and are in constant communication before, during and well after procedure. There is a 24/7 concierge service for patients. Overall, an extremely educational experience, the most caring doctors and staff - the best in their field!9 years ago I was decently fit, running 5k’s, and working my way up to a 10k. As life happens, over this time, several changes occurred in succession. I injured my ankle during the last 5k, diagnosed with breast cancer (currently a survivor after lumpectomy), suffered a miscarriage, went through menopause and too many other life-altering adventures to list. Not to mention, I have scoliosis and rods in my spine constantly working against me and I have to push through to stay healthy and active every day. With all the set-backs, I didn’t know who I was anymore. As though I had woken up in someone else’s body and somehow 9 years had gone by. I ate healthy and worked out and did everything I could to get back to me. I hit a wall. Somehow, I had gained excess belly fat I never had and could not seem to make it go away. I seemed to injure my back trying, which wasn’t helping, before I could see any results. I felt ’stuck’. Always looking in the mirror with the thought of " if I could just erase this part" like live photoshop, that would be great. I had always researched new technologies and several facilities across California, but was never sure if these procedures where right for me. Then I came across Elite MD in Danville. I started the consultations around June 2022. The consultation was very educational, no upselling or pushy about scheduling. It was always up to me to continue conversation and move forward or not. Great perk is that they also offer financing options. I continued asking questions and getting more educated over several months and opted to have Vaser Lipo with JPlasma skin tightening on December 28, 2022.One major concern was that I did not want to be under general anesthesia and was happy to learn a local would be used and pain and recovery minimal. I say ’minimal’, but recovery would be minimal based on me doing the required work. As Dr. Bansal says, we do our 1/3, you do your 1/3 and the universe does the other 1/3. And sometimes like me, you go above and beyond. I am beyond thrilled to say that I am down 20 lbs! Dr. Bansal removed 12lbs from upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks, and tightened the skin. I have worked away 8lbs just by changing my diet! I am now 7 weeks out from procedure and have only done some light yoga and brisk walking. I had minimal bruising, drains in for only 7 days and no major pain. My abdomen has never been flatter and more toned. I now have only slight discoloration and am healing daily. Amazing work! Elite MD gave me a jump start and my life back to the point where I could take control and continue this journey to the best me of my life. I am going to be 49 and surely am not feeling it! Nor do I look it ;)"

"I was in my late 40s, was at my heaviest, and was unhappy with myself when I first looked into a tummy tuck. No other doctor would touch me at my BMI and then I found Dr. Bansal of Elite MD. I met with Dr. Bansal and he said he would perform my tummy tuck; that he wanted to help me. I'll never forget it. He told me he would take care of me as he would his own family which made me feel at ease; that I was going in good hands. The procedure was performed at a surgery center in San Ramon. I was happy with my results back then and still am happy at present. It was the best decision I made for myself as I was able to wear all types of clothing. This boosted my self-confidence. I'm so grateful that I found Dr. Bansal and that he was willing to help me.Fast forward, post pandemic, now early 50s, I started looking into a thigh lift since I was unhappy with the skin laxity of my inner thighs. I was impressed by what I saw on an Elite MD commercial advertising JPlasma aka Renuvion (a skin tightening procedure) and I called to see if this could be done on inner thighs. After talking with Vanessa and meeting with Dr. Bansal, I decided to go with the JPlasma and a little lipo instead of an invasive thigh lift. The procedure was scheduled to be done in-office under local. I was a little nervous as what to expect (would I wake up during the procedure or feel any pain while the procedure was happening) but I took the medication prescribed to me prior to surgery and fell asleep. I didn't feel or remember anything at all. Woke up at home in my bed. I would definitely do in-office again over general as my experience was good and I didn't get sick like I do coming out of general. I am now post-op 5 1/2 weeks (went back to work after week 1) and am happy with how my legs are looking--the line/shape of my legs that Dr. Bansal created is pretty and the JPlasma did tighten my skin. It keeps getting better and better each day. I'm still healing and very excited to see my full results in 9-12 months.I had three lymphatic massages by Rema as Dr. Bansal said it would help with the swelling and heal faster which was true. Rema is the best. I feel very comfortable with her. She is down to earth, skilled, knowledgeable, and wants the best for her patients. I am ashamed to say I did look into other places that offer this massage at a lower rate as Elite MD is high but I stayed with Rema as she is an expert who has vast experience working with all types of plastic surgery patients. All Elite MD staff are nice, professional, helpful, and welcoming and I would like to give a special shout out to Vanessa, Sherri, Rikki, Crystal, Rema, Francisco, and Maricel for assisting me with my questions/concerns, paperwork, procedures, appointments, etc. during my journey.I want to mention that Elite MD's messaging system has improved drastically since my tummy tuck days. They now use a software called Klara which tracks all messages and someone always responds, either office staff, Dr. Bansal himself, or Vanessa (Vanessa responds even after hours and on weekends and am super happy with her customer service--the best). Now I'm confident that my messages will be read and responded to in a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Bansal is a knowledgeable and skilled surgeon and is also down to earth, approachable, caring, and comfortable to talk to. He always takes the time to discuss with me the importance of caring for my health and well-being such as eating the right food, exercising, and ways of bringing down my stress level. He doesn't only tell you but I am provided with various resources to watch/read/purchase--documentaries, handouts, books, cookbooks, seminars, etc. He's also the kind of doctor who doesn't sugar coat anything when it comes to the condition of my health or unrealistic expectations which I prefer.In my experience, Dr. Bansal and his staff are excellent. If you are on the fence. Got for it. You'll be in good hands."

"I was there for lipo, about six weeks ago. Hard to believe the transformation they did!! Tricia was wonderful helping me understand the procedure and it gave me confidence to go ahead with my decision. Dr Bansal really knows what he's doing and I was in good hands sculpting my body. Rikki, and all the staff was there during and post op with Dr. Bansal. If you want quality work with professional guidance on what's best for body contouring they are the ones!"

"Working with Dr. Bansal is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I am a very happy customer. I cannot tell my story without sounding like an infomercial, but I will try.My journey started over 24 years ago with my first child being born by C-section and few years later having a second child which destroyed my abdominal area. Since 1995, I've struggled to lose weight and get in shape; with no real success, because of the damaged nerves in my lower abdomin. Try as hard as I might the excess, loose skin would never change. In 2005 I was told that my only option was a tummy tuck, but I wasn't sure about it. Fast forward 11 years, I've lost about 18 pounds (178lbs) and dropped to a size 10, but that darn flap of skin is still with me. I saw an ad on TV for Elite MD and called for a free consultation; best decision I could have made. Though I lost 2 sizes on my own, and looked good in the right outfit, I was a sloppy jelly roll. My stomach was lumpy and loose and it was very uncomfortable to wear anything besides leggings. I looked like a 46 year old mother with no time for the gym, yet I spent 3-4 a week at the gym. Dr. Bansal created a. new me, I now look like a woman who spends days owe week at the gym.i had a tummy tuck, flank lipo and contouring, but from the new look of me you'd think that I went in for a complete makeover. The side effect of my procedure and the after care by his team has caused me to loose and additional 13 pounds! The almost instant transformation is so profound that no matter where I go, people stop and stare. I need to buy all new clothes, because my total weight loss from the process is and astounding 25 pounds. Please note that all I wanted was to remove the gross excess skin, that would have been enough. Dr. Bansal transformed my body, gave me more confidence and transformed my overall life. I feel free, I feel beautiful, and most of all I feel like I can go anywhere and do anything without feeling like I am not good enough!Dr. Bansal is my personal Van Gough; and I am one of his living pieces of art! I am forever greatful!"
