Dr. Cody Koch performed a procedure in which he used a laser to repair several spots on my face. Most of these spots were sebaceous hyperplasia. During my initial visit, he explained in detail what he felt he could do, and provided me with realistic expectations. He explained the process of using the laser, the risks, and the aftercare that would provide the best outcome. The day of the procedure, the staff prepared me and Dr. Koch was right on time. He again explained what I would be hearing and feeling, and asked if I had any questions. The procedure only took approximately 30 minutes. Although I had applied numbing cream, a few spots felt as though I was being snapped with a rubber band. Overall, it was less painful than I had anticipated. I felt like a had a mild sunburn the evening after the procedure. I followed the aftercare instructions, and within 3 days the spots started to lighten and heal. Although I only had the procedure performed a week ago, I can already tell that many of the spots will definitely have an improved appearance. The staff was all extremely helpful and efficient. Not only is Dr. Koch very skilled, he is extremely personable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him for any plastic surgery needs.
I had a clear skin facial yesterday after one treatment I’ve seen results and feel fresh. The team is amazing and very kind. I will continue to go back and get more treatments definitely recommend!
Dr. Carlisle is very kind and reassured me after I had a very bad experience with another plastic surgeon. He will be fixing my botched mini tummy tuck very soon. My 18 year old breast implant deflated, I was very nervous after that other surgeon messed up, not using drain tubes and I had a huge hematoma and then a bad revision after that botched tummy tuck. When I told him I was nervous because of that other surgeons treatment, he sat down in front of me, looked me in the eye and said I’m a great surgeon, I will take great care of you, and he did. Thank you Dr. Carlisle for caring from start to finish! He does amazing work. My breasts look amazing. Don’t go to any other surgeon in Des Moines!
