"I want to thank you so very much for my 'new' legs. I cannot begin to share with you how terrific it is to try on clothing and not see the 'humps' on either side of my legs. I am thrilled!! You have a marvelous staff working with you, which made my experience that much more wonderful. I am so thankful that I chose you to perform my surgery. See you soon."

"Dear Dr. Kaniff, I would like to take the time to thank you for once again making my surgery so beneficial to me. It has for a second time made me feel better about myself and would do it again.

Thanks again to all of you at your Medical Center."

"Dear Doctor Kaniff & Staff, I can not thank you enough for a wonderful job. You are truly an artist and a master of your craft. There are no words to express the happiness I feel. Please thank all of your staff for exceptional treatment. Also please thank the girls in the surgery room. I could not have gone through this without their support."

"Having liposuction performed by Dr. Kaniff had a significant impact on my life. I have always hated my body. When I would look in the mirror, all I would see was fat hips and heavy legs. I felt so self conscious and uncomfortable. I never wore shorts (even during Sacramento's 100 degree summers). Whenever I would get a compliment about looking nice, I immediately dismissed it. I did not feel good about myself.

I lost approximately four pounds during my surgery. Four pounds might not seem like a lot. However, losing four pounds in my problem areas made a world of difference. Now, I look in the mirror and I see a cute figure. I don't see fat hips or heavy legs. Words cannot express how good I feel about my body after having liposuction by Dr. Kaniff.

I don't know how others see my body in terms of before and after the surgery. But it doesn't matter because I now feel good about myself.

I want to share a certain event that happened after my surgery. My concern is that my words can't describe what happened and how it affected me. But here goes. All my life, my mother told me to hide my heavy legs. Wear long pants. Don't show your legs. She always told people that I was heavy. I grew up believing that I had an unattractive body. Over the years, this belief grew into a disgust for my body. (I was 5'4" and weighed about 130 pounds.) After my surgery, I liked the way I looked. I saw myself differently. I felt and still feel great! I am now 5'4" and about 125 pounds. The decrease in pounds is not the incredible part. It is the shape change. I no longer bulge at the hips. Anyway, back to the story. After my surgery, I could not wait to show my new figure to my mother. However, once I was visiting it no longer mattered. I wore baggy clothes around her and did not show off my new cute figure. Her view of my body no longer mattered. I felt good about myself. And, after all, that is what it is really all about.

Dr. Kaniff was kind, helpful, and seemed to honestly care about me. He did a fantastic job. I believe I was lucky to come across such a great doctor. I trusted him with my life. I would strongly recommend him and liposuction."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the liposuction procedure you performed on me last June. Since the procedure, I have lost a total of 35 pounds, and I am still working at it.

Before the procedure, I had gained so much weight that I could no longer enjoy walking or exercising. I was becoming short of breath and seemed to be always run down and tired. I felt as if I was going to dramatically shorten my life.

I needed a jump start as a motivator to attempt a diet and exercise program. I couldn't do it myself. The procedure was one of the smartest things I have done for my life. It gave me the ability to start an exercise program. The expense of the procedure made me realize that I wanted to not only keep the weight off, but that I wanted to get down to a normal weight.

I haven't felt this good in many years. I have energy. I fell strong. I'm not tired all the time. All this is a result of trying to do something positive for my life. I 'm into a wardrobe I haven't been able to get into for several years. The procedure was as safe as I had hoped it would be. The recovery was fast. Most important of all is that I am very pleased with what you did. You did an excellent job. Mary really appreciates having the man she married back again."

"I love Dr. Kaniff. I even had him do my eyes in September. I am confident that you will get the same (maybe even better) results with Dr. Kaniff. Dr. Kaniff also did a friend of mine last Monday. She had about 4.5 liters removed and she's doing great, too. As far as Dr. Kaniff's experience, I can only speak of my personal experience and I love what he did for me. However, if you have any concerns, I am positive that he would be more than happy to discuss them with you personally. Just give him a call. He is very, very easy to talk with, and more than happy to answer any/all of your questions. His staff is excellent also!"

"It's difficult to express how thrilled I am with my liposuction! My whole life has changed. I've gone down three sizes in clothing! There is no longer the huge decision every morning on what to wear. I look forward to liposuction on another area very soon Thanks again for your expertise and your great staff, too."

"This letter is for anyone who thought liposuction was not for them. How many of you don't necessarily have a weight problem but feel you have problem 'fat' areas you just can not get rid of? Well that was me, I still wore a small size but I felt my clothes were still too snug. Not to mention the clothes I just could not fit into anymore that I liked. Liposuction literally changed my abdomen, hips and areas that my clothes used to fit uncomfortably. After my liposuction, I felt as if I could take some of those same clothes in a little at the seams. What a terrific feeling it was to fit into my clothes the way I wanted to. The whole process was a positive experience from the doctor to the caring and understanding staff. I would recommend anyone considering this procedure to come in and speak with Dr. Kaniff regarding their specific needs."
