Tummy Tuck
I love my results, Dr Ringler and staff are the best. I did my research and decided on Dr. Ringler even though I was 1 1/2 hours away, I still felt it was worth the drive to know I was in good hands and I definitely made the right choice. I am 1 year post op and I feel great. My scars are fading and looking really good. The staff were awesome too, very pleasant and helpful. This has given me self-confidence again. I can't say enough about Dr. Ringler and staff. If you are looking to have any cosmetic surgery I highly recommend Dr. Ringler.
I'm 3 weeks post-op for tummy tuck w/ lipo of the hips, back & thighs and 100% happy w/ my care & results!
Dr. Ringler has amazing talent and his expectations for quality are evident from the moment you walk into his office. This quality flows through to his friendly staff and Lauren helps set accurate expectations of surgery & recovery. It was so reassuring as each day passed to remember what she said would be the normal process and how I would be feeling - she was spot on.
The surgery center nurses and anesthesiologist were exceptional too. I have a history of bad anesthetic reactions and he listened with true concern and determination to be prepared to help me recover without side-effects. He succeeded and my recovery went very well for the first time in 4 surgeries (c-sections). I had minimal pain and never even had to take the narcotic that was prescribed, just over the counter meds.
I felt safe & cared for by everyone every step of the journey. Thank you all for my new body!
I highly recommend Dr. Ringler for any of your plastic surgery needs. He and his staff are professional, kind, understanding and so supportive of your needs and desired outcomes. He and his entire staff are approachable and knowledgeable. They make the entire process of plastic surgery seem effortless.
I had a circumferential TT with Dr. Ringler on Aug. 31, 2022, a little over a year after having less than stellar surgical results from an extended TT, FDL, and MR from another plastic surgeon the year before. Dr. Ringler was able to give me excellent results and correct some things that had been left less than perfect. I am ecstatic with my results and consider him a 'miracle worker' and 'awesome'! I recommend him to the highest degree. What a great surgeon!!! I am a RN and know when a Dr. is good, and Dr. Ringler certainly is in this category.
I’ve know Doctor Ringler since 2011 and I can say he is the best plastic surgeon I’ve known! I’m so very happy with my results! He gave me my youth and confidence back I look so natural no one can tell I had something done, this is my second Macs face lift and I knew I could trust him completely he did a beautiful blepharoplasty and now I look refreshed with more space for eyeshadow besides his amazing skills he is a wonderful person always willing to hear your needs and explain everything that you need to know in a very clear easy to understand way, I recommend him 100% and I wouldn’t do any surgeries with any body else. I love my plastic surgeon and I’m so happy I found him!
Soon I’ll be 73. He performed my first facelift when I was 47, the next when I was 60 and three days ago an extended neck lift, facial fat grafting and a facelift. You will tell him what you want. He will tell you what you need. Listen to him. You will not regret your decision.
Over the last 30 years, I’ve had three surgical procedures with Dr. Ringler. There is no one else I would trust with any cosmetic procedure. His attention to detail, compassionate care, and unparalleled skill are second to none.. The aftercare by his staff is always exceptional. Each time, my results have exceeded my expectations. I’m still me - just refreshed and rejuvenated!
Dr. Ringler and his entire staff, go above and beyond to make sure your experience is a positive one. From the first consultation through to your final recheck, they are professional, and conscientious. Choices and plans are carefully laid out before you so that you can make an informed decision. I highly recommend this office.
From the moment I entered the office every person was extremely welcoming and kind. Dr. Ringler is truly one of the best! He instantly put me at ease, answered all my questions will great detail and confidence. The day of surgery was no different - welcoming, kind, & caring. As I am three weeks post op, my results are exceeding my expectations. I know only Dr. Ringler could have delivered these results. My experience was absolutely first- class!
At 69 yrs old, I knew I didn’t have time for a do-over so my choice of Dr had to be spot on, and it was with Dr Ringler, I had lower face, neck lift and Fat transfer. It was beyond my expectations. I had interview a few qualified Plastic Surgeons but was about ready to let go of something I had been researching for over a year. But when I walked into Dr Ringler’s facility and was greeted like I was a important person I thought this may be the Dr. then I met Dr Ringler and I knew my search was over.
I was out and eating lunch a week later, very little bruising and mild swelling. From his surgical team to Lauren, who treated me like I was part of her family, it has been the best gift I could give to my self If you have any doubts or scared about a big decision you about to make, run don’t walk for your consultation with Dr Ringler, Grand Rapids,Mi
I'm sending this review 9 days post-procedure (lower facelift, necklift, and fat grafting)! Everything was just what Dr. Ringler and the team promised. The overall experience and service were impeccable yet I also want to comment on the top-notch quality of the surgeon and his mastery. I have been on a hunt for the "right" plastic surgeon for years and so glad to find Dr. Ringler. Everything went just as he said it would! Very very pleased. Search no more... this team and surgeon are the real deal!
I could not be happier with Dr. Ringler and his team. I recently had a MACS Facelift, extended neck lift and facial fat grafting. The experience was seamless - beginning with the initial consultation, surgery and post-op visit. Dr. Ringler, in my opinion, is without a doubt the best plastic surgeon in the Grand Rapids area. Dr. Ringler explained the surgery procedure so well that I truly knew he was the only doctor that I had full confidence in. My results were GREAT!!!
My surgery was life changing!
Fantastic! Aside from his kindness and wonderful care, the results of my Tummy Tuck are incredible. The confidence I have gained with my looks has made me so happy. I have gone down two pant sizes, clothes fit better, and I love getting dressed every day. The first week of recovery was as tough as reported but after that it was a breeze and so worth it. My kudos to Dr Ringler and staff, my tummy is flat, my abs are tight, my behind doesn’t have love handles and my waist is tiny. So much more than I even dreamed was possible! Thank you, Thank you!
Dr. Ringler performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and a breast lift with Galaflex on me in Aug. of 2020. From the very first interaction with Dr. Ringler and his staff, I felt so cared for and comfortable. Lauren Byers was so patient and responsive to my many questions. She always responded quickly and reassured me that I could contact her anytime. When I met with Dr. Ringler, his compassion and bedside manner were beyond compare. He was so kind and gentle. When I was worried about not having enough breast tissue and questioned if I should also get implants, he assured me that I didn't need implants given my goals. He didn't try to sell me on anything and talked me out of getting more done than I needed. In my mind, this speaks to his character. He isn't trying to sell you on anything. His goal is to support you in your goals for your body. I'm now 8 months post-op, and I couldn't be happier! This surgery has been life-changing in the best way! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ringler!
My experience with Dr. Ringler and his staff was excellent. He took all the time I needed to answer my questions. I am very pleased with the result. I feel I look very natural and just more "refreshed". My worst fear with getting plastic surgery was coming out looking weird and over done. Thankfully, that fear was completely unfounded because Dr. Ringler has the magic touch.
I was a patient of Dr. Ringler for a facelift which is not something anyone is going to take lightly. I was treated warmly and professionally. I was not coddled and did not want that. I prefer a doctor and staff that is straight up - that gives me greater confidence - and that is what I got. Also thanks to Southwest Surgical Center. Highly recommended.
Dr. Ringler and his staff were the best team I could have hoped to have with my breast augmentation! From the moment I scheduled my consultation, everyone was super helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. They made me feel welcome and comforted, and answered all of the questions that I had along the way. Everything was clear and easy to understand with no uncertainty or guesswork involved. Surgery was a breeze with little to no discomfort during recovery, and my first post op follow up went great a few days ago. Should I decide to have any other work done, Dr. Ringler will be my go to guy.
I have nothing but the best to say about Dr. Ringler and his staff. I had my full Tammy tuck on August 6th and I am forever greatful to the best doctor ever. I was up and walking right away with minimal swelling, pain was present for couple of days which was expected and normal, i drove to my post op on day 5. I am part of suppor group on fb for women that had their tummy tuck and i honestly can't compare my results to other. I feel sad for some of the ladies and they payed way more than I did. I am amazed of how beautiful my belly button and incision already looks like. Dr. Ringler for sure puts his heart into his work. I can't never thank him enough, he changed my life forever.
Dr. Ringler is an amazing doctor!! He is professional, confident and courteous. His whole staff is just as great! I am extremely pleased with my results. I am only three weeks post op!!!
Dr. Ringler and everyone that he employs is absolutely top notch. I had a tummy tuck with liposuction and I was not nervous one time throughout the process. Lauren Byers the Patient Care Coordinator was so interested in my needs and so responsive to my many questions. Never once did I feel judged during this process and I was in good hands the entire time. One of the highlights of this event was when I was being put under the entire surgery team had their hands on my arms saying positive words while I went to sleep. The after care at Southwest Surgical Center was amazing. So many caring people that made this process not scary. The best part of the whole thing, my results are amazing. I can't even believe this is my body and I'm still recovering. One week out and I'm thrilled. I can't imagine how happy I'll be when the swelling goes down. I would recommend Dr. Ringler and his staff to anyone. Truly a class act!
