When I got pregnant with my first child I weighed 115 lbs. I gained 70 lbs while pregnant (he only weighed 6 lbs 6 ozs) and it took me a year and a half to lose most of the weight I had gained. A few months later I found out I was pregnant with my second child. I only gained 42 lbs with her but she was 9 lbs 2 oz. I was huge and she sat extremely high the entire time. Upon giving birth my OB warned me that my abdominal muscles were spread as far as they would go and it would take time to get them back where they needed to be. I completed physical therapy and tons of oblique exercises weekly for a year and a half and nothing would relieve the pain or the bulge in my abdomen. My PCP and my OB both advised for me to get a plastic surgeon consult to have my muscles repaired. My husband and I met with Dr. Aldea in October 2018 (not our first consult, we had a consult with another PS in the area first) and when we walked out we both knew he was the ONLY one we wanted to perform this surgery. Dr. Aldea took his time during the consult to get to know us both, to listen to our concerns and to get all the facts. He wanted to know what exactly my goal was and he made recommendations and explained to us why he thought it would benefit me. We scheduled the surgery immediately for Dec 14, 2018 and when we went in for the pre-surgical appointment he again made sure we knew exactly what was going to happen and how to prepare and what to do post-op. His right arm Lilly will give you her phone number and she will be there 110% all the way to help if you have a question or need ANYTHING at all. The day of surgery Dr. Aldea made sure my husband was informed hourly of how things were going and he met with my family after to explain what he did and what he needs from them to help guide my recovery. He is a true MASTER and ARTIST and he takes pride in his work. He makes sure that he is up to date on the latest and greatest techniques and he performs the surgery with your safety as TOP PRIORITY. I ended up having a 10-12 cm separation and I now how abdominal muscles that will support me and I can now function and play with my kids pain free. Dr. Aldea gave me my confidence back and has made my stomach feel and look like it did before kids. Thank you Dr. Aldea and Lilly for being there for me and my husband all the way and treating us like family. You have exceeded every expectation!!!! Once I recover fully I am going to have Dr. Aldea and his wife Dr. Eby fix my encapsulation that I did not even know I had until I told Dr. Aldea that I had been having some right side pain in my breast and asked him to see if my right side looked off to him at one of my post-op visits. read more

Losing 120 (40%) of my body weight, I felt so triumphant. But my spirits would plummet every time I looked in the mirror: the huge flap of skin on my belly and my sagging breasts seemed to be another obstacle in my achieving an attractive figure. While researching cosmetic surgery options on the Internet, I discovered Cosmetic Surgery Specialists of Memphis. After my initial consultation with Dr. Aldea and Dr. Eby, I was convinced that I should have surgery AND that they were the right surgeons for me. Dr. Aldea took all the time necessary to explain the procedure and allow me to ask questions. I appreciate how he was very careful to explain to me what I should as well as should not expect from surgery. I was very impressed with their knowledge, skill, professionalism and compassion. Dr. Aldea performed a tummy tuck and Dr. Eby performed a breast lift for me. They both were very compassionate and helped me to feel less anxious about having surgery. This was my first surgery ever, so I was quite nervous. The Cosmetic Surgery Specialists staff are wonderful- very helpful and so nice. Dr. Eby called to check on me after the surgery and she and Dr. Aldea were very attentive during my recovery. I really admire Dr. Aldea's artistic eye as well as his surgical and medical expertise, and Dr. Eby is so sweet - I just love her! And she makes very pretty breasts, too! The two are an amazing team, and I'm so glad I got the chance to get to know them. Today I just love looking in the mirror: I have perky breasts (which my boyfriend loves), a tiny waist and a flat tummy!!! People are amazed at my transformation and I get compliments all the time. I love to shop for clothes now. I used to wear long shirts to hide the bulge the showed from my belly flap, but now I wear smaller clothes that show off my tiny waist. This is so great: I can wear cute, skinny-girl clothes now!!! At the lake last summer, I wore a bikini for the first time in my 42 years! Thank you Dr. Aldea and Dr. Eby!!! I am so happy with the surgery results that I plan to have a butt lift this year and a face lift sometime in the future to correct the sagging skin that weight loss produced in those areas. And I want Drs. Aldea and Eby to perform those surgeries as well! I am so glad that I found these wonderful surgeons. They really have helped to transform my life. read more

If you are looking for a plastic surgeon who is truly knowledgeable, caring, personable, honest and respectful, then you will be pleased with Dr Peter Aldea. My surgery went well, and I was pleased with the outcome day one post op and was not in much pain at all even after the anesthesia wore off. No opiates were required. After my first lymphatic massage, I had a nickel size thin layer of skin peel off my upper arm just above my incision when I removed my compression garment. That situation showed me how much Dr Aldea and his staff cared about me not just as a patient but as a person. When I called to check in and share what happened, Dr Aldea had me to come into the office immediately to assess my situation and provided me and my husband with guidance on what to do to ensure proper wound care. My incision was not compromised and there was no real concern if I followed Dr Aldea's care instructions and kept the office updated. The small skin tear looked worse than it was, so I did not freak out. I continued to do exactly what Dr Aldea instructed me to do and within a month in a half the nickel size tear was healed and my incisions on both arms were healing very well. Dr Aldea took care of me every step of the way and assured me we were in this together. Whenever I had a question Lily was right there to take my call or text and gave me a quick response from Dr Aldea no matter what day or time it was that I texted. There was no waiting around for hours or the next day to get a response. If I had any concerns on the weekend or after hours, Lily was just a text or phone call away for whatever I needed and for that I am grateful!! The patient care and customer service the office provided exceeded my expectation. I LOVE my results thus far. I understand the healing process takes six months to a year and I am only a couple months post op, but I can tell anyone, I have no regrets. All I can say is, this one surgical procedure and experience has changed my life, and I am forever grateful to Dr Aldea at Cosmetic Surgery of Memphis and his staff who were always pleasant with every interaction. I highly recommend Dr Peter Aldea. You will be in safe hands. P. Martin read more

I had a bbl and Lipo done by Dr. Aldea and I couldn't be happier with my results. It was an amazing body transformation and confidence booster. I never looked this good before in my life, despite excecise/dieting etc.. Dr. Aldea gave me a body I use to dream of having. I didn't think my results would be this amazing. My happiness and satisfaction are really beyond words. It's not only an outward bodly transformation, but also an inward sense of satisfaction and happiness. Dr. A's attention to detail, realistic approach, time spent during my appointments, honesty, experience, talent, and genuine care were the factors that helped me make the right decision in choosing him as my plastic surgeon. I consulted with many other surgeons, including Dr. Matlock in Beverly Hills, but my heart felt most comfortable and confident with Dr. A. I just knew deep down he would not only do a damn good job but also take good care of me. My advice to anyone considering a bbl is to get a consult with Dr. A, you won't regret it! If you want a nice ass and back... Go to Dr. A! Listen and follow his advice. He truly cares about his patients and knows what he's doing. A special thanks to his wife Dr. Ebby for her input/advice. Last but surely not least a special thank you to a wonderful beautiful smart woman by the name of Mrs. Lilly, the office assistant. She was always available and knowledgable in answering questions, scheduling/rescheduling appts, etc.. She's the queen of multi-tasking! I can't thank her enough for everything she's helped me with :) I can't wait for my future planned procedures with this group including tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I'll post reviews as I get them done. I won't post pics but Dr. A has plenty to look at in his office. I would trust him with my family and friends and wouldn't recommend any other plastic surgeon. read more

I have been wanting a tummy tuck since I had my 1st c-section 11 yrs ago, and after my 2nd one a yr ago it was a must. However, I had seen so many botched plastic surgeries I was terrified. Picking the right plastic surgeon for me was extremely important and going to take some time, so I thought. I made 3 consultation appts. with different plastic surgeons in the Memphis area. My 1st consultation was with Dr Aldea, and after meeting with him I cancelled my other 2 appts. Dr Aldea explained the procedure thoroughly as well as answered all my questions & concerns. He spent almost 2 hrs with my husband and I during my 1st consultation. He would have taken more time if needed. Dr Aldea is not going to sugar coat things and will let you know exactly what he thinks regardless if it's not what you want to hear. That's exactly the kind of dr I wanted. I originally was interested in a tummy tuck and boob lift after talking with him we decided on a tummy tuck and lipo on my flanks. After my consultation I scheduled my surgery. Lilly is dr Aldea's right hand gal and she is fabulous. She is there to help you with anything you may need before and after surgery. Lilly called and checked on me everyday after the surgery for the 1st week. My tummy tuck & lipo look absolutely AMAZING and I couldn't be any happier with my results and it's only 2 months post-op. I can't even imagine what I'm going to look like 6 months from now. I really didn't have any complications after surgery other then seroma in my back. Dr Aldea saw me twice a week until the seroma was gone which was 2 weeks. I highly recommend anyone interested in any kind of plastic surgery to please set up a consultation with dr Aldea before choosing your dr. read more

Dr. Aldea is awesome. He just gets it! He was honest with me about the procedures. He talked to me about my goals. What I was wanting, what I would need in order to achieve those results. he doesn't just see cosmetic surgery as a job. This is a passion for him, contouring bodies. Each surgery is like a work of art for him. Each of us is a new and blank canvas and he is the artist. I am only two weeks postop from my first procedure and I'm already feeling great, loving the new shape the contours of my body I'm no longer a rectangle. I have some feminine shape. Shape I didn't even have before having kids!! I am a whole new me and so glad I found Dr. Aldea. Just as importantly Lilly his office manager is phenomenal always available to answer questions, extremely knowledgeable, very fluid and flexible. With my job and my timeline somethings were extremely compressed and no matter what issue arose, Lilly was able to find a solution and solve the problem and make the day that much better. It didn't matter what time of day or night I needed to reach her, She always went out of her way to be there to answer questions to just provide a listening ear and to be a good friend. I would 100% recommend Dr. Aldea and his team!!!! They truly are the best!!!! read more

My experience with Dr Aldea was absolutely impeccable! Everything from speaking to the receptionist to having every question answered by the doctor was a wonderful experience. Dr Aldea took the time to explain everything to me in layman's terms so I could fully understand what I was signing up for. Dr Aldea is not only a professional in every since of the word, but he is a true artist who takes his craft very seriously. He is a perfectionist by nature. I expected great results from the doctor but I must admit, I received results that far exceeded all my expectations. I view myself as a person who is extremely hard to please and can be difficult to deal with if I don't feel like I'm getting what I'm paying for. I don't give compliments if they aren't warranted and I don't blow smoke when it comes to my opinion about services rendered. Dr Aldea is definitely worth every dime spent and then some. Kudos to the entire staff. Professionalism, great expertise and a caring compassionate group of people is what you will get from the first phone call to the last post op visit. I'm absolutely sure that calling Dr Aldea will be the best and most rewarding decision a person looking to have cosmetic surgery will make. read more

Over the years I've thought about getting cosmetic surgery and kept putting it off. A few years ago, my aunt got a tummy tuck from Dr. Aldea, and she looked amazing. So, when I finally decided to go for it, he was the first person I thought of. It was really easy to get in touch with the office and make an appointment. Dr. Aldea was great and answered all my questions. He made sure to explain everything to me. I felt very comfortable and positive that I chose the right doctor. I got a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and back lipo with fat transfer to my breast. I am so pleased with the result. Lilly is Dr. Aldea's office manager and was absolutely amazing. She answered every question that I had and is extremely knowledgeable about the process and management after surgery. Everyone at the office was amazing and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about having any type of cosmetic surgery. I love the new shape I have, and my fiancé can not keep his hands off me. Definitely worth it. So, if you are thinking about it contact Dr. Aldea's office. You will not regret it. I actually wish I would have done it sooner. read more

I am about 2.5 months out from a mommy makeover with Dr. Aldea and Dr. Eby. To say I LOVE the results is an understatement. Even at a size 4 prior to having 2 kids, I carried my weight in my stomach and would opt for loose fitting tops. This is the first time in my adult life that I can wear form fitting tops. Dr. Eby also magically put my breasts back to where they were 10 years and 2 kids ago. I have one small scar running vertically, that is barely visible now, and I can't wait to see how it looks in a year. Dr. Aldea gave me the waist of my dreams and my belly button is in the perfect place. If I were to wear a bikini on the beach, nobody would know I had anything done..it looks so natural! The last and probably most important part of receiving a Mommy makeover is the decrease in back pain. I was seeing a chiropractor and doing the ab strengthening exercises he recommended but nothing helped the pain I had after I had children. After this procedure I have had no upper or lower back pain, and that makes me so happy I could cry! I feel forever indebted to these two fabulous Dr's! read more

Thank You, Dr. Peter Aldea! This was my second surgery with Dr. Peter Aldea, and I can honestly say I wouldn't have trusted anyone else. I had Lipo 360, and I am beyond happy with my results. Every week I continue to see more definition, and I'm so glad I trusted the process. Dr. Aldea is the type of doctor who tells you the truth. He doesn't promise unrealistic results--he's honest, experienced, and truly cares about his patients. He took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout my entire journey. Recovery isn't always easy, and there will be swelling and days when you wonder if everything is healing correctly. Trust the process. Dr. Aldea knows exactly what he's doing, and the results are worth the patience. Thank you, Dr. Aldea, for helping me feel more confident in my own skin. I appreciate your skill, your professionalism, and the care you showed me from beginning to end. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon in Memphis, I highly recommend Dr. Peter Aldea. 10 out of 10! read more

Dr. Aldea and his entire staff are exceptional! I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. After losing a significant amount of weight, I was left with a great deal of excess skin that affected both my comfort and confidence. Thanks to Dr. Aldea's skill and expertise, I now have a flat abdomen and feel comfortable in my own skin again--something I haven't experienced in more than 30 years. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Aldea and his team were kind, compassionate, honest, and even brought humor to every visit. Their support and professionalism made the experience truly positive from start to finish. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Aldea to anyone considering body contouring surgery. read more

I had researched a few providers in the Memphis area and after a couple of consultations, I settled on Dr. Aldea. He is very knowledgeable and truthful. He did not try to sell me on a dream. He was very honest and realistic about what could be achieved for me safely. The medication regimen effectively controlled my pain and I didn't need anything stronger than OTC Extra Strength Tylenol. Lilly promptly responds to messages and I never felt like my questions and/or concerns were not important. I am currently 4 months post op and am very pleased with where I am in the healing process. I cannot wait to see the final outcome. read more

I wanted to take a moment to thank Dr. Aldea for doing such a wonderful job on my upper eye lids (blepharoplasty). He took the time during my initial consultation to explain the entire procedure. When I left his office, I felt I had known him for many years. On the morning of the surgery, he made sure I was comfortable and ensured all of my questions were answered. He did such an amazing job, that I have gone back for a non-surgical procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Aldea and/or his wife for any plastic surgery you might want to have, you will not be disappointed. read more

I came to Dr Aldea with concerns about my access skin that I had after having kids and weight loss. I was very impressed from the moment I walked through the door. The staff was amazing and Dr Aldea was phenomenal! he answered all of my questions and concerns from the first visit. His assistant Lily helped tremendously, from setup of my surgery to ever question or concern that I had. My tummy tuck procedure went very well. I am now a little past 3 weeks post op and I am loving my results!!! I highly recommend Dr Aldea for any cosmetic needs!!! read more

Dr. Aldea did an excellent job! I highly recommend him above other area plastic surgeons for several reasons. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, yet not in a way that is intimidating or awkward. His approach to care is that his patients are educated on their options with questions encouraged and answered in a comfortable manner. I did not feel like a just a patient, but rather a specific individual whose problem mattered. I am extremely pleased with my results, and now wish I had seen him years ago. read more

Dr. Aldea is the most knowledgable and experienced cosmetic surgeon you can find in the Memphis area. He performed my tummy tuck and back lipo surgery with fabulous results!

If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Dr Aldea as my surgeon with absolutely no regrets. read more

Dr. Aldea did my tummy tuck last May and the results have been amazing. I am very happy with the results. Any issues that arose along the way were quickly resolved. Dr. Aldea took the time to go over everything with me during my consultation and was very thorough about what would occur. I have already recommended him to a friend looking for a similar procedure and they've also been happy with the results. It isn't an easy recovery but I know going in what to expect. read more
