“I went to Dr Hill at Fulcrum for an upper bleph and fat grafting to improve under eye puffiness and bagginess. The fat transfer involved bonus liposuction from my tummy. The procedure itself was easy with local anesthetic. He was very communicative, responsive to any pinches of pain, and the results have been subtle and worth it! He was also responsive very quickly to messages I sent after the procedure asking questions and checking in on the healing process. I still look like me, just more awake. Would recommend!”
“Danielle is genuinely gifted and exceptional at her job. I did a lot of research before getting back into the tox world and I couldnt be happier with my choice. I have a wedding coming up and noticed my face was starting to show the significant signs of age (mainly drooping and some stubborn wrinkles). Also, my face was becoming noticeable uneven. I was way more expressive and lifted on one side, the other size my eye was squinty, hooded and with a lower, heavier brow. Danielle took her time to understand what I needed and she came up with a plan. I wanted something conservative but to fix my stubborn wrinkles, address the facial asymmetry and open up my drooping face. She delivered 10/10 and did a truly exceptional job. The best part is I look happier, my jaw line is snatched and the embarrassing facial asymmetry is GONE! I couldn't recommend her enough. Lastly, everyone is so friendly. I felt welcomed right away. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere.”
“My experience with Fulcrum has been phenomenal. The staff are wonderful, and Dr. Hill in particular is a pleasure to work with. In addition to being a talented surgeon, he’s been patient, kind, and supportive in helping me achieve my aesthetic goals. I also appreciate the thoughtful touches the team takes care to include in their patient experience, from a warm welcome to a fond farewell and responsiveness during recovery. It’s the little details that have made me feel confident, comfortable, and cared for. So glad I chose Fulcrum!”
“My experience with Fulcrum Aesthetic has been wonderful from start to finish. After my upper blepharoplasty this summer, I couldn’t be happier with my results. The entire team was professional, kind, and attentive, making me feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the process. My healing journey went smoothly, and my eyes now look refreshed, brighter, and more youthful while still looking natural. The surgeon took the time to explain everything clearly, and the follow-up care gave me confidence every step of the way. If you’re considering upper blepharoplasty and are looking for a skilled team that truly cares about patient outcomes, I highly recommend Fulcrum Aesthetic. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and refreshed!”
“I had such a great experience at Fulcrum Aesthetics. Brittany was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, which made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout my visit. I’ll definitely be back!”
