Testimonials
I decided to go to dr. Hakki for my breast augmentation because I heard only great things about him and the outcome of his surgeries. the day of my surgery, I was very nervous but anxious because it was something I wanted for a long time. I couldn't believe it was happening. Everyone was very nice to me, so that definitely made me feel more comfortable. Right after my surgery I woke up feeling great. I was stretching my arms, and couldn't stop talking. I felt no pain because of the anesthesia. I wanted fuller, larger breasts that looked natural, and after a month when the swelling went down, it was exactly what I wanted and more.
I am extremely happy with the results. People come up to me and tell me I have amazing breasts, but none of them ask me if I had work done. :) My parents were against the whole procedure, but after seeing my results and the change in my confidence, they realized that it made me happier and they were ok with it. It was Definetly an experience I will never forget, and something I won't ever regret. Thank you a million times to Dr. Hakki and the staff members who changed my life completely.

An Interview with Lucretia Thompson
The beginning of your journey:
How and why you decided to use Dr. Hakki and our practice?
I was doing a Google search and came across Drs' Markmann, Rodriguez, and Hakki. I looked at the before and after pics, certifications, patient reviews, and experience l liked DR Hakki's results the best. During my appt Dr Hakki showed me a video and did a drawing of what I was to expect this helped me in my final decision.
How did you feel the day of your procedure?
I was anxious, excited, and nervous .
How did you feel immediately after your procedure?
I don't remember much I just know I felt safe I remember Dr. Hakki being there and more people I didn't know who but he personally helped me to my car with my friend who took care of me.
Post Surgery:

An Interview with Nicole Carter
The beginning of your journey:
How and why you decided to use Dr. Hakki and our practice?
Prior to relocating to Maryland in July 2011, I consulted with several surgeons over an eight year period to inquire about abdominoplasty surgery. I visited clinics that were very well known, surgeons recommended by close friends, and also military installations. I never felt comfortable with any of the surgeons so, I took a break for about 3-4 years. Finally, I spoke with a neighbor who had undergone a procedure with Dr. Hakki and she gave him rave reviews. Initially I was skeptical because I didn’t want to get my hopes up and start the journey over again. Well, my husband and I consulted with Dr. Hakki and immediately we knew he was the doctor to perform this procedure.
My first visit was like meeting the person who would change my life forever.
How did you feel the day of your procedure?
I can honestly say that I was nervous because I had never gone through a surgical procedure before, but that only lasted until I reached the facility. Once I arrived and was greeted by the staff and Dr. Hakki,
I felt like I was surrounded by the best caregivers in the world.
How did you feel immediately after your procedure?
I don’t remember a lot immediately following the surgery, but I know I didn’t experience any discomfort the day of surgery. Dr. Hakki ensured my husband had all the necessary items needed to make sure I had a comfortable night.
Post Surgery:
WOW!!! I feel amazing. I returned to work in 6 days without pain, strain or discomfort. The only thing I regret was not meeting Dr. Hakki sooner. I could have had the surgery years ago, but I don’t feel I would have been as comfortable or pleased with the results of any other surgeon.
What feedback did you receive from your friends and family?
My husband is the happiest man alive. He has always loved me no matter what, but now I feel like genie out of a bottle when I walk into the room. He compliments me all the time and he has actually starting shopping for me and buying those sexy items I have avoided for years. My friends and family constantly compliment me on my waistline and how my clothes fit my body. I have worn my shirts outside of my pants for years because I wasn’t comfortable with my stomach. Now, I wear everything tucked in and I look amazing.

An Interview with a Luxxery Patient
The beginning of your journey:
How and why you decided to use Dr. Hakki and our practice?
I found 2 Smart Lipo doctors in the area (one in Annapolis, one in Bowie) I went to visit there office and didn't feel comfortable. My daughter later said to me how is it going finding a doctor Mom. I said still looking for a Smart Lipo doctor close by and she said you should try Dr. Hakki in waldorf. I said to her how do you of know of him and she said that Dr. Hakki came in the Message Envy for a massage and he had a great personality and his spirit was warm. She told him that her Mom was looking to do Smart Lipo and Dr. Hakki said tell your Mom to call me she will be much happier with my Lipo procedure vs the smat Lipo and left Cayla a card for me. I called the office and made a appt. Went in for my office visit the next week. My visit with Dr. Hakki was very comfortable and straight forward on the procedure and the results that I was looking to receive from surgery. As my daughter said awesome personality and a very warm spirit is what I felt. Not only from him but all the staff was very accommodating to my needs and very positive to my feelings and what I was try to accomplish from surgery. I instantly felt right at home.... :-)
How did you feel the day of your procedure?
I felt excited and and very nurtured by the staff that prepared me for surgery. Dr Hakki came in the office and was very positive and greeted me and my family and explained what he was going to do and said everything will be okay see you in a bit. My sister and my daughter and I said our goodbyes and hugged and kissed and I was ready for the new me that was about to be created.
How did you feel immediately after your procedure?
All I remember is I wanted to hug everyone! :-)
Post Surgery:
How did you feel a month later?
I felt great! It felt good being able to wear shirts that have a snug fit around the waist line. My pants fit good around the hips and butt with plenty of room around my waistline. No more muffin top! :-) I am very pleased my my results.
What feedback did you receive from your friends and family?
Everyone has stated "Wow" you have lost weight..... You look great!!! My sisters said Dr. Hakki did a wonderful job. A few guys at work stated loosing the weight around my waist area makes my butt look bigger ;-) Wink Wink!!

I just wanted to say Thank you for Everything that you have done for me Physically and Emotionally. I must say that before I came to you for your expertise in what you do, I was LESS than eager to show any part of my body to anyone, ~ Including you. Even though I knew you were there to help me.
When I came to see you, I was just exiting a horrific divorce. It is a very difficult thing to exit, when you are being told everyday how gross your body looks by someone who supposedly loves you. Especially the one that wanted to spend life with you at one time. I am so incredibly happy that you could remove my stretch marks for me, I was so tired of being called "STRETCH" in a derogatory tone by the one who supposedly wanted to love me, and have his children. Along with I am so Grateful that you gave me a chest to be proud of, and I will never have to listen to how gross my chest looks anymore either, by ~Any~ individual.
Now I have Photographers asking me to do Bikini photo shoots for them, & Now I can.... Thanks to you and your staff.
My self esteem has risen so much since you have done this for me. I can't put into words the confidence, joy and happiness that you have restored in me. The kindness and concern that you and all of your staff have for people is wonderful. You, and your staff can make a gloomy day become so bright and happy. I think that is Awesome, *** Not everyone can do that for people. ***
Just as not all doctor's can do what you have done so perfect. You are an Excellent Surgeon Dr. Hakki. I am so glad that I chose to come to you, through word of mouth. I had no clue that you were as prestigious as you are, or that you were ever on MTV, I don't watch television much.
Also, in my opinion, The best surgeon I could've ever found!! *Thanks to my sister.* I am so very glad I decided to stick with you throughout my anticipation of getting this done.
I was so impressed by the way you take the time to really understand your patients and take your time to explain everything to them the way things need to be explained for them to know exactly what you are going to do and what to expect.
I appreciate everything that you have done for me. There are simply not enough words to show and say the gratitude that I have for what you have done for me. Much love to you from me. *Thank you so much for the happiness you have given me.*

Hi my name is Gwen Adams. I am a 47 year-old, proud Army wife and mother of three beautiful daughters. Although beautiful, childbirth left me with an abdomen that I was unable to rid myself of; no matter the exercise. That was my story for years, until the day I met my daughters' hairstylist. I couldn't help but notice how MARVELOUS she looked! I was curious to find out what she was doing to look that way. So I asked. Her response, "The best plastic surgeon of all times…Dr. Hakki!" I knew that day, I had to meet Dr. Hakki. This is where my journey with Luxxery Medical Boutiques began.
In March 2010, I had my initial consultation with Dr. Hakki. The moment my husband and I stepped into his office, we both knew that we were in the right place. The entire staff was AWESOME! Dedicated, caring professionals that only had my best interest at heart. My husband and I found Dr. Hakki to be very knowledgeable, attentive, patient and reassuring. The procedure was explained to me in full details and no question went unanswered. There was no pressure or hidden agendas, fees etc. I felt so comfortable with Dr. Hakki, that I decided, in addition to the tummy tuck, I would have liposuction done on my arms too!
On the day of my procedure (May 2010), and enroute to Luxxery, I have to admit, I was afraid. In speaking with Carla, who's truly an angel, and Dr. Hakki, I started to get that feeling of comfort again and I had no doubt that I was in the right hands and would be taken care of.
After my procedure, I was happy it was over! While coming out of anethesia, my husband told me that I told everyone in the office how much I loved them and I really do…they are like family to me! :) They truly are concerned about their patients and want your outside beauty to shine as well as your inside beauty. This is what they have done for me. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I'm more confident and self-assured. My self-esteem has hit an all time high! I no longer have to hide behind suits! It's so refreshing to walk into a store and buy something to wear, that less than a year ago, I could only dream about. My husband, family and friends constantly give me compliments on my appearance and that makes me smile!
I have referred several of my friends and co-workers to Luxxery, and would highly recommend Dr. Hakki to anyone who is considering plastic surgery. Dr. Hakki and his staff have hearts of gold! You couldn't be in better hands!
-Gwen Adams
From an interview with Mary Huff:
Why you decided to use Dr. Hakki and Luxxery?
Mary and Bejamin: I was impressed with Dr. Hakki's experience and personality and the location was great!
How did you feel the day of your procedure?
Mary: The day for the procedure brought anxiety and much anticipation for getting through the experience. I was pumped up going in and felt fine throughout the process with a little discomfort but mostly numbing soreness afterwards.
How did you feel immediately after your procedure?
Mary: I was really sleepy and thankful for the nursing follow-up for the first 48 hours after surgery. My husband appreciated the help as he was not sure how to manage and go through the routine of post-operation.
Post Surgery: How did you feel a month later?
Mary: 1 to 2 months after surgery I could easily see the firmness in my body. Unfortunately I needed some small procedure at 6 months to tighten me up but was happy to do it and progress through the experience.
What feedback did you receive from your friends?
Mary: Friends and family were happy to see the transformation and changes. My husband summarizes as "Great experience. Dr. Hakki should continue to temper all patients that change is slow and recognizable. Emphasize women are beautiful before surgery. I found that Mary was much more focused on her great looking body after the procedure and changing that style to look outwardly and be confident and share with others was awkward the first 6 months."
What feedback did you receive from your family?
Bejamin: It was a great transition from before and after pics and in person. She lost a whole person and is looking better than ever. This was a BIG surgery and she made it through and recovered great and looking great. She went from Jello to J-Lo. She can be on the commercials now to talk and express her experience. We are so proud of her and she looks amazing. Doc did a great job! I thought Mary look great, stunning, younger and she felt good about herself.
Great job Dr. Hakki!
I have never felt so confident
"I just wanted to thank you all, I am beyond happy, words just can't express how grateful I am to you and your staff. I have never felt so confident and my self-esteem went from zero to a million!!! I can't thank you enough and I will always be grateful for what you have done for me!"

Another Satisfied Client: Luxxery and VI Peel
"
I Paid $350 in Waldorf, Maryland with Dr. H's Office. I had my peel in March 2010 and my skin was horrible before, no acne present but lots of acne scarring, dark spots from previous acne and I would not go out to the mailbox without foundation or allow my husband to see me without it, I even slept with it because I was ashamed of anyone seeing me - I am a beautiful woman but those scars actually made me look like I was ugly.
Days after I had my peel and my skin actually started peeling, I could go without makeup - it was so liberating. Go to my page on Facebook - Maria Smith (Marvelous Maria) and check me out. I'm going to get another one real soon. I don't understand these posts about the peels not being worth it, nothing these days costs what it's really worth anyway but I wonder if they would be saying the same thing if it was $50 - they would probably say it was fantastic then. Bottom line is that most people want something but don't want to pay for it. Your skin is the first thing that people see when they see you so I think that improving it is worth it whatever the cost. But as with everything else, everything is not for everyone. Good luck."

Luxxery team full of smiles, kindness, advice and energy
"I am now 8 weeks post surgery (Dec. 28, 2009) and very pleased with my results - and would like to thank all of you.
Dr. Hakki, you are an artist and visionary. I have complete faith in your expertise, knowledge, opinion and outstanding surgical skills. I totally trust you with every procedure you have performed on me surgical and non-surgical, and I am extremely pleased with each result. You are also a great communicator and I know that you genuinely care about me as a "whole person".
Carla, you've been my consultant since my first visit in 2004. You're very knowledgeable and give me sound advice. You understand my needs and concerns and have a great sense of humor.
Ryann, it's nice getting off the elevator and he greeted by you because you have a friendly and soothing demeanor. You make sure I'm comfortable and my needs are met. Sometimes I'm nervous when I arrive but I leave at ease and you play a big role in that.
Heather, I really appreciate your pleasant energy and kindness. You've always answered my questions with kindness and when I send emails, you are quick to reply. You may have forgotten (but I didn't) about the time I was in one of the exam rooms waiting to be seen by Dr. Hakki, who was especially busy that day. You brought me a magazine to read. As small of a gesture it may seem, it kept me entertained for an hour! LoL!
Evelyn, Vince and surgical staff, thank you so much for making sure I stayed comfy before and after my surgery. Evelyn, I was nervous and you were comforting. Vince, thanks for asking me pre-surgery questions about anesthesia and knocking me out cold. I do recall two other women, possibly nurses? In the operating room but was getting drowsy and only remember their smiles.
Evelyn, each time I returned to Luxxery and you saw me, you always made a point to stop and give me a hug or smile your big smile at me. Thank you."
-Very Sincerely, C. B.

A Before & After Letter
Before
"Here are the pictures I was telling you about.... There are two sets of pictures with me in a bikini ...before I got pregnant with Kamryn I weighed between 130 and 140. When I was pregnant I weighed 218!!! After I had Kamryn I dropped down to about 152 and I had saggy skin on my belly. My boobs use to be a B or C spending on the bra now I am a D or DD. I have tons of stretch marks EVERYWHERE. I had none before pregnancy.
I had my thyroid surgery and slowly started to put weight back on and sadly I am at 208lbs now. I have gained 30 of that just in past couple months. You know how I feel about my weight because I make comments all the time. I am so embarrassed by it that if I see people I know from high school, I hide.... I never go out; I have no clothes besides work clothes and jogging outfits. I feel disgusted when people say my daughter looks like me because I feel I look sooo nasty and that is what hurts the most because I don't want her to be embarrassed by me....
I know this sounds corny but I haven't been living life the way I have wanted to in the past 4 years. I feel that I have this great personality and I am very outgoing but inside I am so depressed because of the way I look. I use to be the life of the party, now I never go out and when I say NEVER I mean NEVER.
That is why I feel need to have this surgery. Now that I have poured my heart out to someone, hopefully I can talk about it more and get my butt in gear. I spend so much time taking care of other people that I do nothing for myself and I am realizing that.
So thank you for have me get out those pictures and look at them and think about what I used to look like and how different my life used to be."
After
"I can't thank you all enough for what you did. I did not expect to get this great of a result. Dr. Hakki, you are a true artist. Not only did you change my appearance but it has given me the self confidence that has been missing for about 4 years now. Through the entire process you and your whole staff made me feel so comfortable. You all brought something special to my whole experience!
Words cannot express how this has changed me as a mother, employee, and person all around. I have more energy, I actually want to get up in the morning and work out- Imagine that!! I can't thank you all enough!! You have truly changed my life and I will forever be grateful!
I promise to advertise my butt off. (Literally LoL)"

"Astounding results" from Retina and Skin Lightener
"I purchased your minimum-strength Retina and Skin Lightener following my January 2010 appointment for the Liquid Face Lift. I decided to share these two products with my 17-yr old son who had severe acne break-outs, scaring, and had been unsuccessfully using Proactive for over 2-yrs. The results have been astounding! His acne
break-outs have decreased by at least 90% and his scars / blemishes have almost disappeared. I can't express
what this has done for his self-esteem and confidence... in just 3 months. Luxery's gain, Proactive's loss. A huge thanks to your Team for all you do! "
-Cindy D.
