Reviews for Danville, CA BC Plastic Surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal Tummy Tuck Services
"Very pleased with the outcome of the procedure - I went to EliteMD after seeing Dr Sonya’s commercial on their liposuction procedure. I had just reached my weight goal but wanted to get rid of those pockets of stubborn fat areas that exercise and diet were not resolving. However, during my consultation with Dr Bansal, I expressed not wanting tummy tuck surgery and that I would like a little volume in my breast. We agreed on liposuction and fat transfer to the breast. I must say that my experience with EliteMD was way beyond my expectations. Dr Bansal and the entire staff gave me all the support I needed, pre-op and post op, to achieve the best results. With every post op visit with Dr Bansal it became less about the physical appearance and more about my whole self. He encourages a healthy lifestyle and the transformation of the whole person. I am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure and with my whole “Transformation!” Thank you Dr Bansal and the entire team. Dr Desvigne, Tricia, Rema, and the entire staff! Helen"

"Elite is True to Name! I am more confident and my clothes fit amazingly - Let me start by saying this: I took about six months to write this review to make sure that it was comprehensive and addressed at least six months of my experience with Dr. Bansal & the team at Elite. From the moment I walked in the door, Tricia was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and she really made me feel at ease with my consultation. I explained to her that I already had a consultation at a major medical company, and they advised that I needed to lose 20lbs before they would do a tummy tuck. I was feeling discouraged. Tricia gave me comfort by letting me know that I didn’t need that procedure. This was great news because I was at Elite for info on the vaser liposuction procedure after seeing those commercials over and over. Lol. I had a complete consultation, paid my deposit, and left with my surgery date on the books!I spoke with Dr. Bansal for my pre-op by phone and he assured me that he would take care of me like family. He knew I was concerned about what the other surgeon told me about losing weight as well as potential complications from having sickle cell disease. I found relief in the honesty/transparency from Dr. Bansal. He advised that I did not need a fully invasive procedure like a tummy tuck, and he was confident in his ability to achieve my desired outcome with minimal downtime and minimal scarring. He was so confident that he even offered to do the tummy tuck if I was not satisfied with the results minus the price I was already paying for vaser lipo. On my surgery date, I already had all of my necessary medications and was relaxed prior to starting the procedure. The procedure was completed on an outpatient basis, and I went home to rest immediately after. I followed the doctors orders with regards to diet, limiting physical exercise, and even watching certain documentaries. I returned for my first post-op lymphatic massage with Rema and I was surprised at the results after just a few days. The pinch test was no joke! Fast forward to today and I just completed my fourth lymphatic massage with Rema (I didn’t follow the exact scheduling recommendation initially) and I am mesmerized by the results. I am more confident and my clothes fit amazingly well, accentuating my curves. I could not have given myself a better birthday gift. pI am really big on self-care and would only recommend a provider that understands holistic health care and treating the whole person. Elite absolutely lives up to their name. I would highly recommend the this dynamic team to anyone seeking cosmetic or dermatological services."
"Astonished! Snatched this ethic body! Never thought I'd get rid of muffin top - Dr. Bansal snatch this ethic body!!I am content with the transformation he did on me. I never thought I would get rid of the stomach muffin top, but Dr. B assured me, when I wake up from the surgery the muffin top would be gone. Dr. Bansal also consulted with me about the inflammation, and toxins that was going on in my body. His concern was that, after my procedure, I would learn how to eat clean (better), become healthy, and medicate to stay stress free. I can’t forget about the stunning staff at Elite MD, are beyond amazing. To just name a few, Vanessa, Christian, Cheryl, Crystal, Rema, Marisol. I am overjoyed to have them care for me during my life changing journey.Updated on 21 Sep 2023:I’m overjoyed with the outcome of the tummy tuck and liposuction Dr. Bansal and team preformed on me. Not only does my body look amazing in and out of clothes, my health choices has changed. I have a new outlook on eating, exercise, and mindset."
"Life Changing - a journey to health and wholeness - In August 2022 I went into Elite MD to get information about breast augmentation surgery… I did not have an appointment nor did I expect to meet Dr. Bansel, he was coming out of surgery and the young lady introduced us snd said o want to get breast surgery, I know he was tired and I can’t really tell you why he felt the need to talk with me, but he says cone in my office and key me look at you… As I explained why I wanted breast surgery, he asked me about the fat and inflammation around my abdominal, I told him I knew it was bad and I would love to get a tummy tuck but I couldn’t afford one, I had 3 c-sections and the muscles need to be reattached, he shared with me the Vasor lipo procedure and ask me to consider it before the breast surgery, due to the unhealthy fat around my stomach… I had never heard of that (yes I have heard of lipo) However I didn’t think it would make a difference for me… however I left there with a new found hope, not to have a wash board stomach but to start a journey to health and wholeness… needless to say I opted for the lipo surgery and it was one of the best decisions I have made, not for the results which are great, but because I have a found hope for health..but it’s been after the in office procedure that had helped me the most ..Dr. Bansel did not know that I lost my mother in march and my youngest son in July 2019 and I have been struggling with depression and anxiety since then.. when we had our post op consultation he told me that 80 percent of my belly fat was from cortisol (the stress hormone) and that we were going to work together to help me get healthy… all I could do during the consultation was cry, I’m not even sure to this day he knows why, I had never met a Dr. And his staff to not only be too on their field but to actually care about their patients and not be about the bottom dollar.. Being a self employed entrepreneur myself I know how important authentic customer care is, and his great it is when your client becomes family.. so do i consider Elite MD my family .. Yes I do.. and my results .. we’ll look at my pictures and see for yourself .. as I tell them when I leave ( I have a habit of just dropping by) I just love you guys .. with sincere appreciation Ronna G"
"My life has been completely and forever changed. I am absolutely in awe with my results from my vaser liposuction and J-plasma procedure with Dr. Desvigne and the team at Elite MD. From the first visit with Tricia to my surgery to my incredible lymphatic massages with Reema, I am a huge advocate for the entire team. The entire staff has treated me like family, and I truly feel like they have created the standard for patient care that all other cosmetic surgery practices should uphold.Now to my personal results: I am an active mom of two who had a stubborn belly that would not go away. I have run marathons, competed in CrossFit competitions and several triathlons but never had the cut belly that I wanted. I realized that my genetics just didn't cut it and it was time for intervention. I researched heavily and spoke with other practices but I was drawn to the ideal of vaser liposuction given the reduced downtime and EliteMD's innovative in-office, local anesthesia procedure. In meeting with Tricia, she also recommended J-Plasma which would help tighten my mom tummy after the fat was removed. In meeting with Dr. Bansal for my pre-op appointment, he noted that I was a candidate for a tummy tuck but that they would do their best to help me achieve the results I was looking for. He stressed that it would be "one-third surgery, one-third my adherence to really taking care of myself through meditation, rest and diet, and one-third the universe". I had full confidence in the Elite MD team!Surgery went so smoothly and I was feeling great in just a few days. I needed to be reminded to rest and really take care of myself (instead of everyone else, which is my norm) and that truly stuck. Since then, I have had multiple lymphatic massages with Reema and I cannot say enough about how necessary those are to amazing results. Her hands are MAGIC. I literally cannot believe the results. EliteMD's vaser/J-Plama procedure completely removed the need for a tummy tuck. I am only 5 weeks post procure but my stomach is flat, I don't have any loose skin and I feel like a new person. YEARS of abs cannot do what Dr. Bansal, Dr. Desvigne, Reema, Crystal, Sam, Tricia and the team did for me. If you are considering lipo or an abdominal procedure - do not pass GO, go directly to Elite MD."

"Let me just start by saying if you’ve come this far, then look no more you have found the best! I am a 57-year-old female, I am very active, healthy and in fairly decent shape. That being said having carried twins in my early 30s, full-term, took a toll on my bikini stomach and left me with loose skin on my lower abdomen. I have been wanting a tummy tuck to get rid of my baby flap for many years. I also have wanted breast implants for decades. I started researching in earnest a few years ago, and realized it was very important to me to not go under general anesthesia, so I started looking at Vaser Laser Lipo with fat transfer to breast. I was attracted to Elite because they could do the laser, skin tightening and fat transfer to my breast at the same time, in office procedure, using local anesthesia only. I had my first virtual consultation with Vanessa. She instructed me on how to take pictures, upload them to a secure site where she looked at them and we had a long phone consultation. She took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in detail. I knew that day that I wanted to have this team perform my surgery! I did decide to do my due diligence and continued my research with other surgeons in my own area. Honestly, none came close to comparing. Not one gave me the time and attention that Vanessa gave me in that very first consultation, and none of them were able to perform the same type of Sculpt and Vaser laser with skin tightening and fat transfer IN office, using local anesthetic only. All the others said they could freeze my stomach fat, but none of them could promise that my skin would not end up being looser as a result. I came down for an in office consultation with Vanessa where she again gave me all the time I needed to ask questions get recommendations and pricing, and I felt more like a friend than a client. I booked my procedure date right then and there!Francisco did my pre-op and before pictures, and is so professional and kind that once again I felt very comfortable and right at “home”. Rea retuned many calls, always with that very recognizable ray of sunshine in her voice. She has a way of making you feel beautiful through the phone. Dr. Bonsall met with me and took the time to review the entire process with me in detail to make sure I understood everything and answered all of my questions. He explained what to expect during and after, and best practices in diet and treatment post surgery for optimal results. I left that consultation full of confidence that I had found the best. I can’t stress how important it is to be able to have a Doctor who is willing to put forth the time to explain everything to you so you feel comfortable and understand what’s going to happen. My procedure went smooth; all I remember is being at the spa having my head rubbed the entire time! It was very soothing and I was very comfortable throughout the procedure. I am grateful I found Elite MD. Dr. Bansal has assembled the best team of professionals who are compassionate, kind and caring, who all are passionate about their trade and take pride in their work. Everybody on the team makes you feel like you are a person and that you matter and not just a number or another dollar bill to put in their pocket. They truly make you feel like you’re part of the family. I am now almost at week three and I cannot believe the difference in my body. I feel great, I was able to return to work within a few days, and have had no pain and minimal discomfort. My entire abdomen is flatter. My baby flap and love handles are gone, my breasts are full and round and my smile is big and bright! I feel and look great and am excited and happy to be back in my body and loving it. Bonus: I had a scar from a previous liver surgery that runs down the center of my abdomen; it used to be raised and lumpy and had caused some uneven lumps on my abdomen. That scar is now almost unnoticeable. I highly recommend Dr. Bansal and his entire team."
"Fantastic care, communication, support & results! Liposuction & J-plasma - I went in asking about a tummy tuck with a limited budget. Trish Starke explained that I’d be a great candidate for J Plasma Liposuction. This was a fraction of the cost and in the end gave me the super flat tummy I wanted and more. Dr Bansal explained the pro and cons. Under his advice, I opted to add a few areas like upper pelvic, partial sides and under arm bra line to make the results proportional. He made it affordable and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t say how nice and informative the entire staff is. From the receptionist to the after care lymphatic massage specialist - Thank you Monica, Tricia, Vanessa, Crystal, Rema, Dr. Desvigne and most of all Dr Bansal. As well as the rest of the team in Danville, CA. They went above and beyond to make sure I recieved the best care and results. Not to mention saving me from added recovery time, pain and money of a tummy tuck. I couldn’t be happier with this alternative J Plazma Liposuction procedure!!!"
"I absolutely love Elite MD! Highly recommend. I had a really hard pregnancy and my muscle separation was really bad. They did a tummy tuck and breast lift and I love my results. Vanessa the sales director got me a incredible deal and was always available to take my call or answer my questions. Cheryl the chief of staff was also super welcoming, She made me feel so comfortable and was really easy to talk too. Dr. Bansal did an amazing job and I'm really in love with the results. Everyone at Elite MD made me feel at home and super comfortable. I will definitely go back if I ever need anything done again. My only regret is I didn't do this sooner for myself!"

"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."

"Took the max 5 liters - thrilled with the results - I am a week out from my VaserLipo with Dr. Bansal. Everything went as described. I chose this procedure over a tummy tuck because I did not want general anesthesia. Dr B took the max 5 liters and I am thrilled with the results so far. I am bruised and a bit tender, but nothing like I anticipated. I have now gone back for my one week follow up. Stitches and drains are out. Today I’ll be getting my second lymphatic massage. I feel this has helped in my speedy recovery. Also, I have been following the “No meat, no wheat, no sweets” instructions. I think that the Elite MD team are amazing. I feel well cared for, and part of the Elite family."
"8 Days Post Op and I Cannot Believe How Flat My Tummy Is - Wow! My entire experience at Elite MD Spa and with Dr. B has been OUTSTANDING! I initially scheduled consultations with three surgeons. The interview with Dr. B was arranged by his patient coordinator, Patricia, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I immediately felt a home and welcomed at the spa, from the front desk staff, Patricia and from Dr. B. After I met with Dr. B, I was so impressed, I cancelled my consultations with the other surgeons. I went in requesting a Tummy Tuck. I'm post-menopausal and the last two years, it seems like no matter what I did, I could not lose my tummy fat. I was devastated and stopped training, which of course means my tummy got bigger. :-( To my surprise, Dr. B did not recommend a TT, but instead recommended Vaser Lipo which his office specializes in. It is less aggressive than regular lipo offered by other surgeons. The VL also meant a less invasive procedure with significantly reduced down time.I also appreciate that Dr. B and his staff don't view patients as a bodies in an assembly line, but they really care. They are friendly and extremely attentive. Another HUGE pro for me is that Dr. B emphasizes his patient's commitment to life changes and proper nutrition for sustained results.Finally, I'm impressed that Dr. B specializes in treatments for people of color and "ethnic skin." His wife, Dr. Sonia, actually authored a book on skin treatments for people of color.Dr. B is in such high demand that the earliest appointment I could get with him was 2 months from my initial consultation. I chose to have the procedure conducted in his office with only local anesthesia. I took prescribed medication immediately prior to the procedure, and I was out the ENTIRE TIME and I felt NOTHING! I have a low pain tolerance, so this is HUGE! A remember chatting before the procedure and then getting into my bed at home several hours later. I don't know what happened in between! LOL!I am now 8 days post op and I CANNOT BELIEVE how FLAT my tummy is!!!!! Even with the swelling! I had a lymphatic massage about 6 days post-op (I highly recommend this) and was stunned at my tummy in the mirror after Rema worked her magic.Now I have a jump off point and I am committed to nutritional lifestyle changes (highly recommended by Dr. B) to keep this tummy FLAT!Do yourself a huge favor-book an appointment with Elite Md Spa. You will not regret it!"
"He has given me a new confidence with my new body - Dr Bansal is very professional and a wealth of knowledge. He is very caring and will provide his most honest opinion which is highly valuable when there are so many choices of surgeons who tend to make us feel unimportant. I am very happy with his work and wholeheartedly recommend his expertise. He has given me a new confidence with my new body which I will forever be grateful. His staff are all so sweet, caring and equally supportive as he is. I never thought I would be one to get a tummy tuck and lipo but I am glad it was in the hands of Dr Bansal and his wonderful team."
"My amazing tummy tuck transformation! - My experience at Elite MD has been over the moon! I had a tummy tuck in May 2021. My surgery was something that I was going back and forth about for about 5 years. I had a consultation a long time ago but financially I wasn’t ready. I was so insecure with the way my stomach looked. I couldn’t see my belly button for the longest time. After crying and complaining to my husband I decided to come back for another consultation and after speaking to Trish who is beyond amazing and guided me through the process. I met with Jules and Francisco who are also amazing and they explained the procedure and what would be best for me and my situation and what I was looking for I was able to book my surgery date. The last part was meeting the man himself Dr. B! Dr. B came in and introduced himself, we discussed the surgery procedure and what I was looking for. He guided me and he made me feel so comfortable and he was so honest. I knew I was in good hands and I was so excited. The suregey came and from start to finish everything was amazing. The staff was super helpful and caring, they went over and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. Dr B checked in on me and reassured me that the surgery went wonderfully. From the 1 day post op until today my 7 month post op Dr B has been amazing. He has been such a great support system and great surgeon, from giving me advice and telling me what I need to hear. Most importantly my results of my tummy tuck are AMAZING! I feel great, I look great. I feel secure with my tummy area, I can see my belly button. I feel super cute! I would do all over again and there is other things that I need to work on that I would love Dr. B to do. I want to thank everyone at Elite MD for being so friendly and so attentive every time I come into the office and every time I call because I did call and text a lot during my recovery. I would 1000% recommend Elite MD. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway."
"Unimaginable results! Minimal scarring and minimal downtime - I had an incredible experience with EliteMD, Dr. Bansal, and the entire team there. From my initial consultation with Tricia to my pre-op with Francisco and my post-op treatments with Rema I was absolutely stunned at how wonderful my experience was. I had received two plastic surgery consults before I found EliteMD. Both of those surgeons told me I needed a tummy tuck in order to achieve the results I wanted. With two young children and a demanding career, there is no way I could take the time needed to heal and recover from a general anesthesic tummy tuck procedure. I had almost given up until I found Dr. Bansal. My initial consult with Tricia was life-changing. She was so warm and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable, she was empathetic to my needs, and I never felt judged. My previous experiences with other plastic surgery consults left me feeling like I was just another number, Tricia made me feel special. She held my hand and talked through all the options with me. She followed up with zero-pressure and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and confident with my decision to move forward with the procedure. When I met with Dr. Bansal he was confident he could help me achieve my goals. I’m beyond pleased with my VaserLipo results. The procedure was painless! I was given oral meds that helped me relax. To be honest I slept through the entire procedure, and woke up at home, with very little discomfort. I went from a size 14 to a size 6 in a few hours and I didn’t feel a thing! I opted to have the VaserLipo to remove the fat, and J-Plasma to tighten the skin. I was carrying a lot of fat in my mid-section. My body was completely out of proportion, I had a big tummy with small hips and legs. It is amazing that Dr. Bansal and his team (Nicole is fantastic,) could remove so much fat from my mid-section in a few hours with minimal scarring and minimal downtime. The recovery took me a little bit longer than I expected, I was pretty sore for about 10 days, mostly because of the drains they put in during surgery to help drain the fluids. I really was ready to have my drains removed on a Saturday, but they don’t remove on Weekends so I had to wait until Tuesday - which was absolutely too long. I recommend they hold a few hours in Saturdays to help patients who were in between for drain removal like me. Once the drains were out I was so much more comfortable. Dr. Bansal always takes his time when meeting with me. He answered every question I had and made me feel comfortable. He is sincere, and a truly cares about holistic healing and treatment. My post op treatments with Rema have helped speed up my recovery exponentially. She is a gifted healer and has this fun demeanor that instantly makes you feel comfortable. I imagine I’ll continue to see her to help improve my results.I’m only 10 weeks post procedure and my results are unimaginable. Can’t to embrace this new body and watch my health improve day by day."
"There's so much goodness to share about Elite MD. The entire staff and experience has been quite wonderful. With my first time working through any sort of aesthetic procedures I was really nervous and unsure about what this journey would look like. However walking in day one working with Tricia, who welcomes you with open arms and is chock-full of information really set the stage for everything else. She was transparent along with the wonderful Dr. Bansal and Dr. Pao (who facilitated my procedure) on which procedures would work best. In lieu of a tummy tuck which was the primary recommendation but not some thing that was in the cards at the moment, I decided to go for a two phase vaser Lipo procedure which was all done in office!! The treatment facilities are top notch, the patient care and attention is white glove. Special shout out to Francisco, Nicole, Reema, Vanessa (and ok maybe just everyone) who've seen me at my most vulnerable and made me feel like a rockstar. What most people don't talk about is the emotional support needed not just from your family but also from the team that is helping you through these life-changing procedures. Elite MD in the entire staff does that. I am six weeks postop and so grateful and optimistic that my body has responded while I also take initiative to change my own lifestyle which is some thing that Dr. B really preaches - self-care is going to provide the optimal results. I appreciate his candor and though there was a lot of work to be done on me he was willing to take the risk and do everything in office so I fully trusted his advice.I've also been going to Elite now for Dysport a Botox type treatment and have also been quite happy with those results. All in all as long as you are willing to be vulnerable but also do the work the team is going to go above and beyond for you. They have certainly set the bar for excellence and I also now have a new family.If there are any opportunities for improvement it is understanding the investment (costs) which they were able to provide some options for all but it is an investment that is well worth it. Also just some buttoning up on communications around scheduling and rescheduling were a bit disjointed at times however the team made up for it by over communicating other times.Run, don't walk to Elite.."

"Head to Toe Transformation - Came in for a consult regarding the fat on my arms. I ended up getting a tummy tuck first. After a couple months I had surgery on my arms. I was only under local anesthesia, meaning I was awake, but, comfortable during the whole process. Dr. Bansal opted to do liposuction with a new technique called Renuvion/JPlasma. My arm measurements went from 15.5” to 13.” I am now ready for my summer dresses. Next up is a facelift; like I said “head to toe transformation.” Best decision was to visit Elite MD."
"It's been 7 weeks since I had my tummy tuck and liposuction. I am more than pleased with my results, thus far. Dr. Bansal is an amazing doctor! The staff are incredible people who really care about you! It all started with my appointment with Tricia who is so nice and easy to talk to. Rikki (nurse) is SO knowledgeable and sweet. Francisco is the sweetest with an adorable personality. Linda is always so nice and kind. The whole staff is really incredible! Not only does the staff care, but they walk you through everything pre-op and post-op.Unfortunately I had one little spot that didn't want to heal, but Dr. Bansal and Rikki have been taking great care of me! I'm on the mend!The only thing I can think of to better the practice is, being better at returning phone calls. There has been a few times I had a question and no one got back to me or if they did get back to me, it was the next day."

"I have been working with Dr. Bansal for over 5 yrs and he always makes me feel like family. - I received lipo of my back the 2nd part of my 360 lipo and tummy tuck. I have been working with Dr. Bansal for over 5 yrs and he always makes me feel like family. He makes sure I have everything I need to heal and to get the best results from my procedures. Vanesa is always a great help with figuring out what's best for my body. She is like having your best friend in the room with you."
"I've had the best experience with Dr. Bansal and Vanessa they made me feel right at home. I can call or email and always get a response. I had a tummy tuck 5yrs ago and now I'm back for phase 2 of my surgery and it's like I never left. I will always come back for any of my needs."

"Dreams Do Come True - I finally decided this year was my year. I met with over a dozen doctors. I came back to EliteMD, Dr. Bansal & Dr. Gerrs. After two children my breasts had lost significant volume and my stomach had extra skin. I had researched over three years ago a tummy tuck. I was always hesitant due to the scar. Dr. Bansil put all my fears to rest and delivered more than I could have asked for.The reason I chose them beside feeling very confident with their experience with these procedures. I knew they would help give me the body of my dreams. They are all about teaching and providing information. They take a holistic approach to your health and on my consult day Dr. Bansal had me sit with a very successful health coach. This was before I had decided to go with them!Throughout the consult, to appointments pre-op and post-op the doctor and team with EliteMD was responsive, helpful, always answering all my questions and any concerns.If you are considering a mommy makeover or any of the individual procedures I have no doubt this is the place to go. I cannot speak more highly of the team at EliteMD."
"I am absolutely astonished at the results of my tummy tuck and body sculpting! I think I look amazing and I am 63!! Dr Bansal is very passionate and skilled and his enthusiasm for his work is contagious. I am convinced that Elite MD is the best place to have cosmetic procedures and surgery. I am confident that they are cutting edge and have the best of the best doctors. The staff is incredible as well. I know they really care for their patients and the personalized interest they continue to show me is wonderful! In my opinion there is no other place to go!"
"For those whom are considering tummy tuck, lipo, breast augmentation etc.. let me tell you that my experience has been NOOOO REGRET here with Elite MD. Elite MD in Danville is the place to go for more than just surgery but a complete body transformation!! They have specific doctors that specialize in different procedures, this is a great thing because they do these practices over and over again with grand results!! When I was researching whom to go to, I never found a review to make me feel confident whom to choose. I chose Elite MD because my friend got a mommy make over and I was blown away!! Results amazing!! Her results are obviously what won me over rather than reading 4-5 star reviews on websites regarding other surgeons whom I didn’t even know. My friend was that 5 star result and now so am I! The thing here is that it’s not just a surgical procedure; you will be getting but a whole body transformation!!! A body transformation is the results because I learned about the type of body fat I had and why!! I was given the resources to change my lifestyle in order to CONTINUE with my body transformation and keep it!!! I am 5 weeks postoperatively now, driving on my own since week 4, no pain meds after week 1, just Tylenol here and there. Keep in mind everyone’s pain tolerance is different. After my surgery worst part for me was getting my range of motion back from my shoulders (stiffness with pain with stretching) this is normal but it comes back!! For the tummy tuck (piece of cake) stomach is numb so you have no pain!! That’s because my surgeon knows a great combo of medications during surgery and also some numbness may stay as a result of a tummy tuck. Hardest part is to tell your body to stand up straight but that could all just be a mental challenge really. Learning breathing techniques stretching and learning to eat clean or deleting inflammatory foods prior to surgery is ideal and this is what elite MD teaches and provides resources to you as well!! Just DO NOT treat yourself like your sick or you have a disability and do all the instructions given, nothing less or nothing more!! Always do what is advised, I believe this is what has given me great results at a fast pace! You can call the the office at ANYTIME with questions and concerns and staff will get you the right person to speak with! They don’t make you feel stupid, rushed, or just like a "surgical case" if anyone knows what I mean! I’m always looking forward to my visits although I come from a distance. All my questions are answered thoroughly and with patience. Office environment totally feels like home and staff is so nice, funny and make you feel like family!! Dr. Bansal is AWESOME and has an artistic vision, welcomes you with open arms, and answers all questions and is very honest!!! After surgery Dr. Bansal continues to be the same character (this is important) and makes you feel safe and not alone!!!!!!! Going forward I will continue to do more procedures here because I have a lot of trust that AWESOME and OUTSTANDING work will be done here!!! Patience is a virtue and if you want people to take time with your mind, body and soul then you also must have patience!! Quality work takes time and I got that here with Elite MD. I hope this review helps anyone out there looking to get that quality work done (speaking from the bottom of my heart)!!! FYI I’m a registered nurse in the tri-valley area and I know about quality care!!!SHOUT OUT to Dr.Bansal, Rikki (nurse practitioner), Ivy RN, Ray surgical Tech, Juliette coordinador and Marcel!!! Really SHOUT OUT to all staff including the gals that answer the phone, everyone is so nice. Thank you all sooo much!! Not saying bye just yet LOL!!!"

"I went Elite MD about three months ago for a tummy tuck consult. Vanessa my consultant was amazing, she was great in helping decide what procedure was best. I had told her I want it done fairly quickly before summer and even though Dr. Bansal was booked through until October she did everything she could to get me into surgery six weeks after my first appointment. Throughout the entire process she was in contact with me sometimes even late into the evening calling me back and emailing me.Once my date was set I meet with one of the surgical technicians Ray. I am so happy Ray was my surgical technician, he is probably one of my favorite people in the whole world and I would never want to work with anyone else. Ray made himself so available because I constantly had questions for him. Working with him has been an absolute joy in my life.Dr. Bansal has to be the most informative and energetic doctors I have ever met. I don't think I have ever met someone that loves what they do as much as he does. Ever time I have met with him has been educational and exciting. The work he did on me was so good that when the swelling went down and the bandages came off so I could finally see the results I cried. He is truly an artist and I will be going back to him for any further work as well as recommending him to friends and family. Rickie was working along side Dr. Bansal as the nurse practitioner and she was amazing. She really had a lot to put up with with me and she was so nice about it.Ivy was my on call nurse who helped me while I was at home and at the clinic she was very patient with me because I think I called her at least every day for the first week asking about every little pain or twitch I was having.Over all everyone that works at Elite MD was amazing and very helpful and informative. I would never recommend any place else. I have had plastic surgery before elsewhere and Elite MD is by far the best I have ever seen!"

"Thank you Dr. Bensal - I went to Elite MD for a mini facelift. I was having problems with a split muscle and scar tissue in my abdomen. Surgeons wanted to use mesh to repair it. I asked dr. Bensal if he could repair it without mesh and remove the scar tissue. He said not a problem, he uses triple stitches. I asked as long as he was repairing everything if he could do a tummy tuck. He did and found inflammation and cortisol fat. I was a mess with less than a year to live had I not gone in. Two of my doctors have backed it up. He has me on an anti-inflammatory diet. My psychological and physiological Health are getting better everyday. I feel great. I have had other procedures and a couple more to come. I owe Elite MD my life thank you with all of my heart."
"I got the laser liposuction in March 2016... today marks 3 months. Even though I was told this as a "body sculpting" procedure and not for weight loss, I have lost 38lbs so far in the last 3 months!! I have been told I look like I have gotten a tummy tuck but I didn't!! Elite MD and Dr. Bansal have helped me become a better person all around. This has been a life changing experience for me. They have taught me how to eat properly, what exercises are best for stress weight loss and recommended a few authors for self help books. All of the books have helped me deal with stress better than I was before and has helped me stay strong during hard times mentally. I have never felt better physically as well. All thanks to Dr. Bansal and Elite MD. Elite MD helps you become a better you! Its more than just surgery.... I feel like they saved my life, as I was headed down a very unhealthy road and was very unhappy. I now have family and friends who are changing what they eat and making the lifestyle changes necessary to live a happy, healthy life. I feel better than I have for at least the past 10 years, if not more and I owe it to Elite MD"
"I came to Elite MD with my brother who is a patient of Dr. Bansal around September 2015 for one of his follow-up appointments. While in the waiting room, I started watching their videos, looking through the catalogs and client reviews. I had always wanted to do something about my body, especially after having my 3 children, I was not feeling too hot or happy with what the mirror reflected. My 50th Birthday was coming up and my brother told me that as his gift to me for my birthday he would give me some money to get whatever I wanted done at Elite MD. First I was not sure what I wanted between Laser Liposuction or tummy tuck, I had a lot of questions and I probably drove the staff there crazy, sorry Vanessa and Candy 😁, anyhow, they were very helpful answering all my questions and helping me make a decision. I applied for CareCredit to finance the rest of the payment for my Tummy Tuck, bilateral flanks and bilateral sub-axila procedure. I had my surgery on 12/14/15, two days after my surgery I went for my Post-Op visit with Dr. Bansal, thanks to Sherry, within a week from the surgery I was able to stand upward. With the encouragement and advise from the staff and Dr. Bansal, I am learning to change my life, starting with my eating habits. Dr. Bansal continues being supported and keeping me on track. I had my 6 month follow-up check up today and he says I look great, I already know that 😁 Because I see it in the mirror and people who know me tell me I look great and that also boosts my self esteem. This has been Life changing for me, gave me back my self esteem and I like the way I feel and the way my clothes fit. I fell off the wagon for a little bit with my eating but I know I am getting on track and be better with all the support I have and I will not let myself go back to that old self. This is a lifetime change for me, I want to be healthy and starys with me being happy. I love the new and improved ME. Thanks Dr. Bansal Sonia Sandoval"
"I went to Elite MD to discuss liposuction. I was very overweight growing up and had lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off for over 20 years. I work out regularly and eat decently but couldn't shed that excess skin and fat from being heavy for so long. Meeting with Dr. Bansal he gave me his opinion and thought a tummy tuck with liposuction would best solve my issues. He spent a good hour with me going over the pros and cons of each as well as what could be expected from recovery to results. He explained that he was only one third of the results, I was another third and the universe was the last third. We also went over every aspect of the surgery and what he would do. I thought about it and agreed it was the best solution for me. I went through the surgery in August 2016. From the beginning, I was thrilled with the result, He delivered on every promise and fulfilled his third of the deal 110%. I am now three months out and I am still over the moon with my result. Everyday that I get dressed, I thank him for the incredible work he did. I would recommend Dr. Bansal without pause to anyone that I know. He is a true professional and an expert at his craft."

"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!"

"elite md. Danvile, CA - I got the laser liposuction in March 2016... today marks 3 months. Even though I was told this as a "body sculpting" procedure and not for weight loss, I have lost 38lbs so far in the last 3 months!! I have been told I look like I have gotten a tummy tuck but I didn't!! Elite MD and DR. Bansel have helped me become a better person all around. This has been a life changing experience for me. They have taught me how to eat properly, what exercises are best for stress weight loss and recommended a few authors for self help books. i have read a book by Tony Robbins, a meditation book by Russel Simmons and have started "Super Brain" but Deepak - all of these books have helped me deal with stress better than I was before and has helped me stay strong during hard times mentally. I have never felt better physically as well. All thanks to Dr. Bansel and Elite MD. I get stopped in the streets and told how great my complexion is and I didn't get any work done on my face! Elite MD helps you become a better you! Its more than just surgery.... I feel like they saved my life, as I was headed down a very unhealthy road and was very unhappy. If I had to go back in time, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I now have family and friends who are changing what they eat and making the lifestyle changes necessary to live a happy, healthy life. I feel better than I have for at least the past 10 years, if not more and I owe it to Elite MD"
"I came to Elite MD with my brother who is a patient of Dr. Bansal around September 2015 for one of his follow-up appointments. While in the waiting room, I started watching their videos, looking through the catalogs and client reviews. I had always wanted to do something about my body, especially after having my 3 children, I was not feeling too hot or happy with what the mirror reflected. My 50th Birthday was coming up and my brother told me that as his gift to me for my birthday he would give me some money to get whatever I wanted done at Elite MD. First I was not sure what I wanted between Laser Liposuction or tummy tuck, I had a lot of questions and I probably drove the staff there crazy, sorry Vanessa and Candy , anyhow, they were very helpful answering all my questions and helping me make a decision. I applied for CareCredit to finance the rest of the payment for my Tummy Tuck, bilateral flanks and bilateral sub-axila procedure. I had my surgery on 12/14/15, two days after my surgery I went for my Post-Op visit with Dr. Bansal, thanks to Sherry, within a week from the surgery I was able to stand upward. With the encouragement and advise from the staff and Dr. Bansal, I am learning to change my life, starting with my eating habits. Dr. Bansal continues being supported and keeping me on track.

"27 Year Old Mom 5'7 267 Pounds Laser Lipo - Danville, CA - Dr Bansal with Elite MD in Danville CA is a God send! I have struggled with my body image for the last 5 years as I gained 80 pounds due to high emotional stress. During my consultation Dr Bansal was efficient, personable, highly energetic, and knowledgable. He recommended laser lipo on my abdomen and flanks. I was thrilled he was confident he could help me and peace of mind that it was not as invasive as tummy tuck since my BMI was 40. I am extremely happy with my results I have lost 20 pounds in the last three weeks it has totally reshaped my body making clothes fit better and gave me the confidence I've been lacking."
"I must say that Dr. Bansal is great. I was a candidate for a tummy tuck but decided against it because I didn't want the scarring and went with laser liposuction in the upper and lower abdomen, bra line, flanks, sub axilla, waist line, a bit towards my back since I was under anesthesia and they can't move me over and more recently my arms. I'm very excited with my results. I'm doing my part on eating better and cut back on the toxic foods I was eating and feel and look better now. I'm glad I came to him and his staff for my procedures. I highly recommend a few vaser shape treatments after the procedure to tighten everything up and to get rid of any fat deposits. I did more than the recommended amount and feel that made a bigger change with my results."

"Tummy Tuck & Lipo to Flank&bra-line- Part 2 of my Transformation Journey - Danville, CA - For years I've wanted a Tummy Tuck. In 2002, I made the mistake of having liposuction to the tummy and flank area because I wasn't educated enough and, the PS wasn't skilled enough to tell me that I was a candidate for tummy tuck instead. 10 years foward and I'll be having my TT surgery August 7th, 2012. I'm a proud mother of 3 daughters - giving birth to two and one being my daughter through marriage so I only had two births but the last took a serious toll on my body. I've hated my mid-section for far too long and I MUST say "bye" to the UGLY buldge. I've raised my children, now 20, 20 and 15 years old, dedicated16 years of marriage to my husband, worked full-time, attending school part-time, currently running a home-based travel business SO now it's time to DO-ME!. Pictures will be posted. BREAST REDUCTION On June 18th I had a breast reduction (pictures and review posted on this site) and I'm very pleased.Updated on 5 Aug 2012:When I decided to share my tummy tuck with everyone, I'd made the decision to NOT post pics before my tummy tuck (August 7th 2012) BUT I've changed my mind,,,,,,so,,,,,please see my pics for your own motivation to have a TT procedure if you look like me and have been thinking about getting it done. Many people tell me "you don't need that" " you look fine" "why spend your money?" first of all it's exactly that,,,,,my money and my body. I've hidden my stomach so well that no one really knows what I look like without clothing, spanks, holding the tummy in etc..... I'm so anxious and can't wait. I just hope that the results give me a good jump-start and better motivation on my goal to be more fit. Starting tomorrow I have to shower with Hibiclens soap. I've already started taking the Arnica and Bromelain three times a day. Tomorrow I'll start drinking Mix 1 all-natural protein shake for a better healing process. Thanks for reading my story!Updated on 6 Aug 2012:Day Before Surgery!!I'm feeling anxious mixed with many other emotions I can't express. I continue to look at my tummy all day because I can't believe after all these years, finally my extra "pillow" will be cut off. The Surgery Center called me today telling me what time they need me at the facility and what time my surgery will be. I'll have to be there at 7AM,,,,I wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight,,,hmmmm. Happy Healing ladiesUpdated on 8 Aug 2012:1 Day Post-opToday is August 8th and I"m doing just fine. I was so afraid that I would be in pain but I'm NOT. The only time I feel pain is when I'm getting out of bed, or off my couch, other than that the only time I was in tears was when I woke from the surgery. It feels as if I did 1000 reps on my Ab-Slider or something. My breast reduction brought me more pain than the tummy tuck which was totally unexpected.Today I see my PS and will get the chance to see my tummy for the first time. I"m SO nervous thinking I will hate, hate the scar but I'll try to think positive. If the tummy don't look too bad I'll post pics.Updated on 8 Aug 2012:Saw my tummy today and although it's very, very swollen I like the outcome. I'm hating the drains but I think they'll be in for almost two weeks.Updated on 13 Aug 2012:Today I'm 6 days post op and noticed the swelling went down just a little. I posted my pictures ladies let me know what you think. I'm happy with my results but maybe it's because I'm excited there's no rolls lol,,,,,others might think I still look a HOT MESS!Updated on 7 Sep 2012:I'm now four weeks post op and can't believe how fast the time went. The issue that I'm having is the swelling and wearing the uncomfortable spanx. I still wear the CG during the day and night. I'm now starting scar therapy but so far its dark in color.Updated on 25 Oct 2012:Almost 3 mos post op and very pleased. I'm now exercising my abs everyday and it's really encouraging to see actual muscles!!Happy Healing!"
"I went to Elite MD after interviewing 2 other surgeons. Dr Bansal was very easy to talk to and showed me different procedures that I could choose from to benefit me! I decided to have the extended tummy tuck and lipo. I had my procedure on 1/31/2011. The staff was so caring and Dr Bansal called to make sure I was doing ok. I had appointments set up for 2 days after surgery,then 7 days after, ect. They truly care! The best part of all I LOOK FANTASTIC!!!! I am so shocked on how great I look and feel! My husband was scared for me to have surgery and he is wowed!!! I have recommended Dr Bansal to all my friends. THANKYOU DR BANSAL!!!!!!!!"
