"Dr. Felice is a very skilled plastic surgeon. He performed my tummy tuck and my breast lift and both were done extremely well. I am 2 months out and am so happy with the results! He is a great dr with great communication skills and is easy to approach with any questions or concerns. I called at almost midnight and he called back less than 10 minutes later. He had excellent “bedside manner” and the office staff is kind and professional. I would recommend advanced cosmetic surgery and Dr. Felice every time!"
"I can't say it enough. I absolutely love my results. Dr. McFadden changed my life forever. He did amazing with my tummy tuck and liposuction. I can't pass a mirror without looking :-) at myself. I knew, the recovery would not be a walk in the park, and it wasn't. Anne Claire is very caring, honest and professional, and takes her time checking the results with every appointment. She takes great "after" pictures, too. I just love everyone, I had contact with, within Advance Cosmetic Surgery, from the first phone calls with Laura for the surgery consultation, the front desk personal scheduling all my appointments, the day in the surgery area with everyone being so friendly and professional, and all my post-op appointments with Anne Claire. I can only recommend Advance Cosmetic Surgery for this kind of procedure. Great place with a great, professional and friendly team!!!"
"Dr Felice did a tummy tuck and Lipo for me. I’m about 4 weeks post op. All I can say is from the surgery itself to the post op appointments I have felt supported and listened to by all the staff! With never having a major surgery like this one, I felt like I always had questions and I loved that when I did have questions I could call and be able to talk to Dr. Felice, Dr. McFadden or Laura the nurse practitioner directly. I am healing great and I can’t be happier with my results. Would highly recommend!"
"I am 6 months out from my tummy tuck and i can say that from dr. felice to the nurses everything has been an awesome experience, words cant explain how happy i feel to have choosen this place dr. felice and the staff made me feel so comfortable and not just a number, and i personally feel very happy with my results i wasnt wanting a model look but more happier to be in my own body and this has been all around an amazing experience thank you dr. felice and staff!!"
"1 day post-op - he was very professional, kind and truthful - I chose Dr. Felice based off a few things to do my tummy tuck. Once we met for my consultation he was very professional, kind and truthful. I also respected him for being very much about my safety!!!!"
"ACS has been amazing from beginning, throughout the entire process. Every staff member is friendly and professional from the front desk, to the nurse anesthetist, they are all clearly there to help so you have the best experience possible. Morgan was especially amazing and truly helped calm nerves prior to surgery with her bubbly personality. Dr. McFadden is not only clearly talented at what he does, but also has awesome bedside manners. Very personable and friendly but also straightforward to ensure expectations are realistic. I received a tummy tuck, trunk lipo, thighs lipo and chin lipo. I love how they go the extra step to ensure the best results, like measurement for two compression garments post surgery and providing bromelain in addition to other vitamins and medications. The facility parking can be a bit tight, but the facility itself is very modern and clean. My husband was very comfortable waiting throughout my surgery and the staff were awesome at keeping him up to date. Highly recommend ACS. They’re the best in the upstate and I will definitely be returning for future needs."
"Tummy Tuck with Lipo and Muscle Plication - After I had my third child, I got in the best shape of my life. My core was my main focus and I wanted to be really strong there. After several years of training, I tried one round of Coolsculpting with great results. However, I ultimately wanted a different shape altogether. I carried this cuff of skin with a small amount of fat below it and I found myself always tucking it into clothes. Finally, 7 years after having my third child, I took the plunge and booked a consult at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery with Dr. Felice coming highly recommended due to his "perfectionist" style in the OR (which is what we all want and need!). He was down to earth while being clinically strong in his presentation. He asked what my expectations were. He gave gave me a realistic idea of the harder journey of recovery a tummy tuck involves. By the end of the consult, my little list of questions was answered. I was given a price quote immediately and schedule surgery at the end of the consult. My surgery was 4 weeks later and took around 4 hours. Week One was ROUGH, but not due to pain. Psychologically, I wasn't used to being chair-bound. I produced very little fluid and had my drains out after week one. Week Two was better, as was each successive week that followed. Week Three, the small amount of normal fluid that was around the Surgical site really began to dissipate, and I can really start to see the actual results of my tummy tuck. Simply put, they were amazing. By week Four, I could not believe my new body. That week, I also noticed how good my belly button was looking. I also remember having the thought that I actually felt like my old self again. I am now seven weeks postop, and apart from just a little bit of numbness, I feel back to my old self 100%. My incision is smooth and looks phenomenal. My drain sites are slowly filling in and look less dimpled. At my four week postop, I was cleared to exercise and submerged in water normally. There are a few things that I feel like being consistent with made a dramatic difference. I wear my garment around the clock. The only time it is off is in the shower. While it sometimes gets very annoying, it also provides a lot of comfort, and I like to get back into it as quickly as possible once it's off. I also stayed on my meds like clockwork. I weaned off of all pain meds by the end of the first week. I made sure to use stool softeners and MiraLAX. I'm very rarely regular, but I did not have a bowel movement until day five after my surgery. Because of the MiraLAX and stool softeners, it was very manageable. I made sure to have a powerlifting recliner to sit and sleep in initially, and that was a game changer. They are very affordable on Amazon. I also had a walker that I kept nearby and used a toilet seat lift. I made sure to shower every single day and do the exact protocol the doctor had suggested. Besides the supplements at the doctors office had given me to heal properly and it reduce bruising, I also purchased a lymphatic drainage supplement that I believe worked wonders for my body. I actually still take it now. I'm so thankful that I chose Dr. Felice for this surgery. He crossed every T and dotted every I. His care and clinical expertise was impressive and Impactful!"
"Dr. McFadden and his staff are great! - After doing some research for a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, I went in for a tummy tuck December 2019. I really liked the after results of his prior patients. For 14 years, I had been really self-conscience about my stomach after giving birth. I did not let anyone see it, nor would I look at it myself. I am so happy with my results now!I also had chin and cheek lipo. I have always had big cheeks and wanted a slimmer appearance in the jaw line. I am super happy with those results and the tummy tuck.Because of the great experience, I also returned for other services: Votiva and Botox. I am very satisfied with the customer service experience and services.Dr. McFadden and his staff are great!"
"Jawline and Neck Liposuction - Even at my skinniest, I held on to fat in my neck. Really needing a tummy tuck after my twins but not really being ready to shell out that kind of money, I opted to fix the one part of your body that you can’t hide. I wish I would’ve done it sooner. The difference is incredible and it hasn’t even been a week yet. Worth it ????"

I? was in more pain but less swollen. I? stopped wearing the garment and that was a mistake. The swelling happened over a few days and I? didn’t realize what was happening until I? was in a ton of pain. Updated on 9 Jan 2018:Some scarring inside that makes my neck tight. Hopefully after the next few ultrasound treatments, it will heal up all the way. ??"
"I've had Lipo and tummy tuck, along with five other procedures so far. Dr McFaddens Nurse Practitioners are the bomb. I caught a PE, pneumonia, and renal failure, stayed in the hospital for five days, Dr McFadden came twice to check on me personally. That meant a lot to me. I went from a size 14 down to a size 6, losing 21 pounds. I have an extremely flat stomach. I would do it all again. I'm having my arms and back done this fall, can't wait. I would go through everything again."

"I went to Dr. Mcfadden in 2012 for my breast augmentation and was treated with so much kindness. He and his staff set all of my worries at ease. I was afraid that I wasn't going to get the size breast I wanted and I was not let down. I love my breast and I have since scheduled a tummy tuck for June 2017. This is the only place that I feel I can trust to actually listen to my needs and concerns and not be focused on making money."
"My experience with Dr. MCFADDEN is nothing short of amazing. He is without a doubt the most talented cosmetic surgeon anywhere, bar none. He is as kind as he is talented. The results of my tummy tuck have served to give me back my long lost self confidence. His staff are kind and knowledgeable and always made me feel like I was the most important patient that they had. I can and do highly recommend the amazing Dr McFadden to anyone who wants the absolute best in cosmetic surgery."
"Tummy Tuck. 4 Kids...one Pregnancy AFTER Tummy Tuck - Greenville, SC - I cannot say enough about this facility and Dr. McFadden. The office is clean and comfortable. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. Most importantly my results from my tummy tuck (after 100 lb weight loss) were better than I could have imagined. I evens d a baby (oops) 2 years post pop. I tell anyone who asks that this procedure and Doc changed my life. Do be ready for several weeks of recovery. It's a hard road but so so worth it. I never spent more than 15 minutes waiting in the waiting room...unless I arrived super early."

I couldn't find another place on this site to tell this side story. So if there's a better place for this little story...oops! Anyway, I became pregnant 2 years after a tummy tuck. I was happy about the pregnancy but afraid of ruining my results. I was very conscious about my eating and exercise to control my weight gain. I gained about 25-30 lbs. My tummy tuck didn't suffer AT ALL from the pregnancy. I did choose to have some other areas addressed about a year after that pregnancy (love handle looseness). That revision was about $1-1.5k. I didn't absolutely need it, but it was an area I ALWAYS obsessed about and am PLEASED with this procedure already...it hasn't even been two weeks yet. My advice is to watch the weight gain. Eat adequate protein and fresh fruits and vegis. Try to workout too. I lifted weights and ran until a week before I delivered and was fine. Just keep in candid conversation with your doc about your diet and physical activity to ensure health of pregnancy and baby. It's not a death sentence to your flat tummy to get pregnant after a tummy tuck. Just make healthy choices!"
"Dr McFadden and his super team have done my facelift, tummy tuck and skin care with amazing results. He has a fantastic surgery set-up that is professional but friendly. His nursing staff is fantastic (special thanks to his amazing surgical nurse, Kim!) And his office staff are professional, efficient and friendly. Best cosmetic surgery and skin care team ever!"
"Mommy makeover 27yr old 2 CSections - Greenville, SC - So far, I've already had my breast augmentation. My amazing Doctor didn't want to over do it with my body and my healing and suggested we split up the tummy tuck/Lipo and breast augmentation into two separate surgeries. Im thrilled with my perfect boobs and can't wait to have my tummy tuck. One month to go!Updated on 27 Mar 2016:I am so grateful for this Tummy tuck! I feel amazing already. It's been very sore and coughing, hiccups, and throwing up are complete burning hell but I am so pleased already. I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, Lipo of flanks and inner thighs. I'm using a lift chair, shower chair, and all my pain meds and they've helped a lot. My mom has agreed to stay longer to help with my 18mo old and 4 year old children. I'm hoping by day 9-10post op I'll be feeling physically able to care for them.Updated on 27 Mar 2016:Updated on 28 Mar 2016:Updated on 31 Mar 2016:What a wild ride this week has been. Sleeping in a chair for 7 days, missing my kids who are in the next room being cared for by someone else, an allergic reaction to steri strips, the emotional and physical aspects of this tummy tuck have been more than originally anticipated. But today is a good day!!!! I get my drains removed this afternoon, I shaved my legs today, and I put on cute panties (I've been wearing my husbands boxers for 7 days so I could clip my drains to them). I'm finally seeing some progress and I'm feeling upbeat again.Updated on 2 Apr 2016:So, today I'm weaker and in more pain then I've been in in 2 days. I want my life back, I want to play with my kids and most of all I want to stop itching. I had the steri strips removed 5days ago due to N allergic reaction. I'm continuing to get more red and swollen and it makes it difficult to see any progress. Just not a good day.Updated on 5 Apr 2016:Feeling...better! I'm alone caring for my children again, which is wonderful!!!! Since my little man is only 20months it has its physical challenges but I'm so glad to be living my life again. I'm finally seeing some progress with my incisions and all the redness. I'm on day 4 of prednisone. At this point I'm trying to stay positive and be easy on myself while I'm healing.Updated on 25 Apr 2016:I'm getting back to my life!!! Feeling like the energetic mom I love to be. I'm still getting swollen at night and there are some areas I'm not sure I'm in love with on my hips and the flank Lipo but I'm making progress with the healing and my spirits are much better than they were. There is something odd that I've never seen anyone talk about and that's the effects I feel the medication and annesthesia has had on my brain and memory. I've done things completely out of character for me lately and I've completely forgotten huge things I was excited about. There's been many occasions where I'm forgetful and again just not myself. I hope I heal from the effects surgery has had on my mind.Updated on 23 May 2016:Not too much to update. Scars are fading and I'm feeling pretty confident. I still haven't felt like work out and I went boating/jet skiing yesterday...super super sore incision today. I didn't realize until today how much I over did it."

"33, 2 Kid's in Need of Tight Skin!!! - Greenville, SC - After 2 kids and losing all the weight I still had loose skin. I had a tummy tuck with Dr. McFadden and he removed all the extra skin. I could wear a 2 piece bathing suit for once in a very long time! I could wear clothes that made me look sexy. I actually went down a pants size!!! I would recommend this procedure and I'd do it again!!!"
"Best plastic surgeon and exceptional nursing and office team. Professional but friendly. I love the results! Best facelift, tummy tuck, and skin care!"
"58yo, Tummy Tuck Plus Revision - Greenville, SC - After loosing over 50 pounds, and keeping it off for almost 2 years, it was time to remove that 'apron' of excess skin and fat that won't diet away. Surgery went well except for heavy bleeding from varicose veins on the abdomen. As a result of the excess bleeding, my body produced an excess of fluid and created a huge seroma, covering my entire abdomen. My plastic surgeon was amazing! He calmly treated every issue my body tossed at him-seromas, eschar (dead skin turned black), split open incisions, and major adhiesence of the entire abdominal area. He cleaned and trimmed and restitched my wound every the days for almost two months. He came in on weekends, during his vacation, and even on his birthday! He and his superb staff were professional, friendly, and skillful."
"In two weeks since seeing Dr McFadden for a surgery consult I have used two other services at this practice both laser leg hair removal and Juviderm lip injection, Dr. McFadden has encouraged me to lose some weight before my tummy tuck and leg lipo and in two weeks I've lost 10.2 pounds. The staff is top notch and I can't wait to go back. They make me look and feel like the only patient in the building even though they are really busy. Dr McFadden will get all my business from now forward. He's the best. Thank You Leslie Faye Haas. Lynn Bisel"
"41 with 2 Children tummy tuck lipo and mucle repair with existing mesh - I've had several surgeries with hernia repairs. 1 had ripped within a couple of weeks of repair and greatly opened. my stomach was a complete math from surgeries and 10 incisions in the past. I also had mesh from the most previous surgery. I had many lumps from scar tissues which were painful and bulges that my stomach looked very freak looking. I was always in pain my shirt always rubbed against my skin with my two to three inch protrusions and it was always painful always uncomfortable. I needed this tummy tuck. It was not for" looking Hollywood" it was to regain my athletic body back which I was born with. having surgery in the past for many reasons took that away. I wanted a body that wouldn't feel pain until the day I die. No more hernias either. Once and done."
"50 Years Old and Gravity Took Place - Greenville, SC - Back in 2004 I went in for a tummy tuck, well as the age 50 came alone I wanted to have my breast lifted so I knew who to call. The office had moved to a new location I had never been in, clean friendly staff, I had made an appt. went in talk to Dr. McFadden he went over everything I needed to to know, I put my trust in Dr. McFadden and I would do it again."
"Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction - Greenville, SC - Hey, I am 25 years old and mother of a 6 year boy. My surgery (tummy tuck and breast reduction) is scheduled for August 1st.... That's 3 days and I am super nervous but even more excited! I have wanted this procedure since my son was born, almost 7 years ago. I don't consider myself to be big at all, but I have a flabby stomach and major stretch marks, hence the need for a full tummy tuck with a little bit of lipo. I'm 5'5'' and 145 pounds (10 pounds are probably boobs, no lie), therefore I am also getting a breast reduction. I have had breast that were too large for my body since I was about 13! I am currently in a size 34 D sometimes DD, and since having my son, my large breast are now saggy. I originally inquired with my PS about a breast lift but he informed me because my breast were so large, and I desired smaller breast, a breast reduction would be best for me. In other words, if he lifted the breast I have, because of their size, they would end up saggy again quickly. When I tell people I am getting a tummy tuck, everyone says they don't know why because I'm not fat, which is true but they've never seen me naked! I'm not doing it to take the easy way out or to lose weight. I currently work out 5 or 6 days a week and have been working out for about 4 years. It seems that the more I work out and the more weight I lose, the more saggy and loose my skin gets. So far, I am very pleased with my PS and his staff! They have been super helpful and have very much prepared me for my upcoming surgery. I am super excited about my procedure and will give updates!"
"Goodbye Tummy - Greenville, SC - I am finally going to go through with it! I have wanted a tummy tuck for so long,and since losing nearly 100 lbs. I can't or won't wait any longer. My surgery is scheuled for mid-January and so far I'm more excited than nervous. It helps that the plastic surgeon who will be performing my surgery happens to be THE BEST anywhere! I have complete trust and faith in him...so here we go! I have read with great interest here about the experiences others have had so I think I know somewhat to expect, anyway I will be sure to post often and share my experiences on this incredible journey."
"Tummy Tuck and then Pregnant! - Greenville, SC - I was divorced with 3 children when I consulted with Dr. McFadden on a tummy tuck. Although I was engaged, I was not planning to have anymore children. I was slim and had lost any baby weight (I was a size 2) but because of my 3 c-sections, I had extra skin. Dr. McFadden decided I needed a mini-tuck with reconstructing a new belly button and some lipo on hips and back. The team there was extremely helpful in planning for this surgery. The surgery was a success but the recovery was painful. Despite enduring that process, I had the results I could only wish for...within 3 months I was in a bikini on my honeymoon. Well, within 6 months...yup...you guessed it - I found out our birth control did not work as planned and I was pregnant! I freaked out, immediately started following blogs and watching videos of other women who had a tummy tuck and then got pregnant. I was nervous my abdomen wouldn't stretch, that my tuck would be ruined, etc. I ended up having another (my 4th) c-section and my ObGyn's followed the same scar as my tuck. Well my baby is already a year and I can testify that Dr. McFadden must know what he is doing! My stomach is just as flat, thank goodness I didn't get anymore stretch marks and my muscles are still tight. So, yes, you can get pregnant after a tummy tuck...and you can bounce back and look great!"
"Extended Tummy Tuck with Lipo - Greenville, SC - I am 39 years old, 5'6 152lbs, married, mother of 2 children, Daughter 18 and Son 15. I have thought about and wanted to get this done for over 12 years. I have always had what some of us call "Baby Fat", well since June 2011 I have lost 30 lbs and I have finally decided to go for it!! Yay Me!!"
