Julie Voss May 08 Liposuction
"My stomach has always bothered me since adolescence. I've always tried to hide it and now in my mid 50's I look like I'm pregnant. After the lipo, it has reduced dramatically and I feel so much more confident. It is still hard and bumpy but still quite an improvement and I have been assured it will improve even more!"

Julie Voss May 08 Liposuction
"Right now - Wow! Bouncing back took a little longer than I thought. Lots of colorful bruising initially and tenderness, but this eases off day by day. Tylenol really is the strongest med you'd need. I tend to be gong-ho about things like recovery and a little too impatient. Results are still showing in different ways from day to day. I chatted merrily through the whole procedure and went out to lunch with my husband afterwards, in hind-sight should have gone home and rested. I did call the office with questions and concerns a couple of times, someone was always available to help me out. Dr. Voss has provided me with a new self confidence, now my abdomen is looking so much better. I would recommend Dr. Voss and her caring nurses to anyone and everyone. I am looking forward to summer in clothes that fit rather than "disguise" my abdominal shape."

Julie Voss 6 May2008
"Dear Julie, Debbie and Melissa,
I just want to send you "Thank You!" notice for taking great care of me.
I had a tumescent liposuction of my stomach area on May 2nd in your Kirkland facility.
I am healing very well and just want to let you know that I was able to go to my work following day after surgery for couple of hours.
Procedure wasn't as dramatic that I expected, you really take good care of me, thank you again.
I come back to my full time job on Monday and my stomach itching and driving me crazy, but I understand that it's mean that everything is healing very well.
Sorry that I canceled my appointment for May 9th, but I want to heal completely before I do any other surgery.
Thanks again, you make the woman very beautiful and its very important and satisfactory job."

Julie Voss 13April 2008
"I had tumescent lipo on my arms 5 weeks ago. I have recently lost 85 lbs so there was a fair bit of fat that wasn't going away. I am thrilled with the results just after 5 weeks and with I would have discovered this procedure earlier. The whole experience was great and Julie and the team made it relaxing. The recovery time was the best part as I was walking the dog 6 hours later and back to my normal workout routine within 4 days! The only discomfort I have at 5 weeks is a little numbness still and tight skin/muscle from some slight inflammation. I am so happy and would definitely recommend this procedure and Julie to anyone who is considering this!"

"For a mom of 3 boys it became very important to me to not be so embarrassed of my body in a swim suit. It was a wonderful decision to have this procedure (Tumescent Liposuction of the inner and outer thighs and knees) done as it has given me a sense of security to go our in public again!! I wish I had done this sooner."

Gary Beerman from Microsoft internal site last year
"Hi ,
Thanks a lot for the mail. I went to nwface yesterday and got the laser done by your [Gary]. I used to go to nwface but I don’t know about Gary. I used to get it done by other people and my skin got burnt very badly couple of times and also I didn't’t find any results. But yesterday Gary did a very good job. This time I am hoping that definitely I will find some results. Some people asked me to send the compile and I am going to highly recommend them to go to Gary.

"To whom it may concern, I had Dr. Voss remove a hereditary double chin and am more then ecstatic about the result. The experience was indeed almost painless and the result has given me tremendous confidence in my looks. Where I used to look in the mirror and see an aging women, I now see a young and vibrant face. I highly recommend the neck liposuction, you will not regret the results. And the surgery is easy, quick and nearly painless."

"I had tumescent lipo done on my inner / outer thighs and my lateral back. Wow, what a difference! The procedure was much easier that I thought it would be. Dr. Voss and Deb were awesome. It was difficult to wear jeans for a couple of weeks because of the waistband but so worth it! Thank you so much."

"I had the Tumescent liposuction done. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Dr. Voss did an excellent job, both she and her staff made me feel comfortable and by answering all questions allowed me to undergo the procedure with total confidence. Here I am at the one month after surgery date, I have healed well, there is a little bit of tenderness still, but Dr. Voss assured me that it is normal and will get better. I am truly pleased and can recommend Dr. Voss and her staff without hesitation."

Dr Allegra & Staff,
"Thank you so much for the tremendous care during my tonsillectomy on 8/3/07! I am so glad I made the trip from Spokane. Dr. Allegra cam recommended as the best Otolaryngologist in the Northwest by the Virginia Mason Hospital. What a compliment! When I called to inquire, [...] was so warm & professional and I knew that I wanted to have the surgery at NWFace. Also, a special thanks to Peggy & Joy. You were wonderful as well.
Dr. Allegra, your surgical skills are outstanding. The surgeon who did my twins sister's tonsillectomy last year took a look at me on 8/15/07 and was blown away at how quickly I was recovering. He couldn't believe that I was already off pain medicine & eating food so quickly. Your attention to detail & care are tremendous! Dr. Leavitt was so impressed. My sincere & utmost gratitude.. thanks again!

"I've received Botox in my frown lines between brows from Dr Voss with excellent results... very natural effect. I looked "relaxed" not "treated"!! The Cook procedure I received has profoundly changed the line of my chin and the shape of my face. Instead of may neck being a source of embarrassment, after only two and a half weeks. I'm wearing necklaces and earrings that I put away ten years ago, figuring... what's the point. Now, I take pride in my appearance and have much increased confidence."

"I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the results of my recent FX Laser procedure. My concern was not my aging face and wrinkles, which I consider well earned, but a predisposition to skin cancer, overall skin texture, some scaring and uneven skin coloration that comes with age. I've had costly non-invasive procedures at other facilities, none of which were successful so my expectations were minimal. The outcome however was amazing.
The texture, color and overall appearance were improved beyond my expectations. What I did not expect was the reduction in wrinkles and overall tightness of the skin texture in the neck, jowls and eyelids. It appears that I've had a minor eye and face lift.
On day eleven I returned to the work. The comments from co-workers were, “Have you lost weight, cut your hair or been on vacation”? The results were not so drastic that it was obvious that I had my face resurfaced which is what we all want.
I also wanted to mention how impressed I am with your Post-Operative care and treatment. Heather Wheeler your Paramedical Aesthetician brings both her professional expertise and personal touch. She has been a tremendous source of information and help on how to care for my new skin.
I would and have highly recommended the Northwest Face to my co-workers, family and friends. This is just too good to keep this secret all to myself.
Thank you,"

"I am 54 years old and was feeling like my face was aging beyond my years. I am a happy person, but looked mad due to the frown lines that were permanent between my brows. Dr. Allegra performed a Brow Lift in December, which is the first phase of my treatment. The first 2 weeks, quite honestly, I did not like Dr. Allegra! I had significant bruising, and had to hide from the public eye, which is normal!
When I went back to work in January (I am a teacher and had most of December off), I couldn't believe the comments! “Wow, you sure look rested”, “You look great, what is your secret?” I am very very happy I did this procedure. The next phase will be laser resurfacing, which will even out my skin and rid the damaged surface layer due to sun exposure and age. Dr. Allegra has been very caring and respectful, and I look forward to this next procedure."

"My overall experience to date with NW Face in having a brow lift and removal of under eye fat pads has been satisfactory. I really won’t know the full outcome of this procedure for another month when I am scheduled to see Dr. Allegra again.
I felt the initial consultation with Dr. Allegra was very informative. I came to the consultation with a number of questions and felt that he answered them completely. In addition, photos of the “before and after” pictures of prior patients as well as discussion of the fees involved were helpful in determining whether or not to go ahead with the surgery. Once I decided to proceed with the procedures, Peggy (the scheduler) was very well organized in not only arranging the operation but returning my calls when I had additional pre-op questions. On the day of surgery, the intake nurse and anesthesiologist appeared to be very efficient, putting me at ease prior to surgery. To date, my follow-up visits were easily scheduled to best accommodate my schedule (coming from the peninsula area) with little “wait time” beyond the scheduled appointment time.
In the interest of continuing improvement, I would suggest more detail of what to expect during the immediate 24 hours post-op be given to the patient prior to the surgery. When the nurse called me a few days prior to surgery to go over some items pre-op, I remember her saying “You will feel so much better once the bandage is removed”. At the time I did not pick up on that and I should have asked her to give me more detail on what to expect. Possibly some information on what to expect post-op could be included in the pre-op information sent to the patient. I would have appreciated knowing that the compression bandage can be uncomfortable and contributes to the nausea I experienced. My nausea was not alleviated by the suppositories and I vomited several times after attempting to take food. In fact, I was unable to take any food until the bandage was removed. Once the bandage was removed, my nausea decreased rapidly. Looking back on it, I felt that the 24 hour period immediately post-op was “glossed over” when in fact, it was an uncomfortable time due to the nausea mostly. Fortunately, I did not experience much pain (more soreness) so the fact I was unable to keep any pain pills down during this period was not a major problem. That may not be the case for another patient.
Would I do this again in spite of my constructive criticism – definitely!"

Hi there,
I wanted to write and let you know how great my experience was with Dr. Allegra and the entire staff. From my initial consultation for sleep problems, to the follow-up where we decided on the surgery options, even the day of the surgery itself and my recovery, I can’t think of anything more I could have asked for to make this go more smoothly.
I almost said “painlessly,” but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. That said, I was very happy with everything Dr. Allegra did for my pain management during my recovery, including taking my phone call very late one night when I became concerned with my condition. I was reassured that this was part of the healing process, which was pretty much exactly what I needed to hear to get through it.
And I'm happy to report that since my follow-up appointment, my breathing has improved dramatically and I'm sleeping properly for the first time in my adult life. So far, so good! Before the surgery I used to have “good days” maybe a couple days a week if I was lucky. Now, every day, I feel about a hundred times better than I ever did on my best “good day.”
So I would like to thank Dr. Allegra and his entire staff for everything they've done, and for helping me to open this chapter in my new life without sleep apnea!"

"You probably don't realize what an extraordinary thing you have done for our family. The past year has been trying for all of us. I thank God that he you you in my path that day on the way to Phoenix. Thank you so very much for listening to our story and then for seeing Keith. I truly don't think we would have considered his sinuses as the problem. Thank you for EVERYTHING - Best wishes to you and you family"
