"I look like me,  just 10 years younger"
Hear our lovely patient describe why she decided to get a deep plane facelift. She wanted to look younger and refreshed and now that she does she says that "I could not have hoped for anything better!" especially since no one can detect that she had "something done", not even her own mother!!!

"I want to be more comfortable in my clothes and my skin"
Our lovely patient who previously had a facelift with us is now planning for her tummy tuck. She had 3 C-sections and gained a significant amount of weight. To address this she had a gastric bypass to help her lose over 100 pounds. She feels that no amount of exercise is able to correct her "double bubble belly" and she is looking for a flatter stomach and a repair of her muscle separation. 

"This is life changing"
Our lovely patient shares her experiences recovering from her tummy tuck and her neck liposuction 2 weeks after her procedure. Hear how she relates her tummy tuck experience compared to her C-sections and how the recovery from each procedure was unique but similar. I so enjoyed her comments about her neck liposuction when she looks in the mirror, stating that "This is what I am supposed to look like!!" 

"I feel really great"
Our lovely patient had struggled with her physical therapist to tighten her core but had been unable to do so. Hear her journey through recovery with the Drainless Tummy Tuck at 5 weeks and how she is doing now. She feels so much better now that her core has been restored with the rectus diastasis repair which is an integral part to the Tummy Tuck (also known as abdominoplasty). Not having to deal with drains during recovery was one less thing to have to worry about in the post operative period and made her recovery that much easier. 

Stable results after 2 years with saline implants placed in the sub pectoral pocket. She is happy with her 34 D cup breasts and feels comfortable 

"I was having trouble seeing the results of my weight loss because of all of this arm skin"
Our lovely patients shares the challenges of her weight loss journey and how the excess skin on her arms impacted her. She decided that she "only lives once" and she wanted to maximize the results from her weight loss by sculpting her arms with a brachioplasty which is also known as an Arm Lift. The procedure was performed in our AAAASF surgical facility under tumescent local anesthesia and NO drains were used. Hear her story as she is 5 days out from her surgery.

"I did my research to look for the best doctor"
Our lovely patient shares her journey for breast rejuvenation. She did her research to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who would listen to her and help her achieve her goals. We appreciate patients who ask lots of questions so that they are well informed. We use the Crisalix Breast Imaging program to give our patients a simulated view with Implants so they can select the implant that fits their body optimally. 

"I have told a lot of my friends about this"
Scars are an unavoidable part of surgery. Dr. Claytor's research on optimal scars was published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal and WON best paper "Honorable Mention" for his pioneering work using Microneedling to create the most optimal scars. Hear the story of our patient who wanted her breast implants removed and how the microneedling treatment helped her to achieve the optimal results. At 6 months her scars are flattened and only a light color.

"It changed my life"
Patients sometimes ask me, "How long will my results last?"
Well, our lovely patient is 5 years out from her drainless tummy tuck (Also known as an abdominoplasty) has the answer. She loves her results and her increased wardrobe options because her clothes just fit better. She even wore a bikini on her most recent vacation to Jamaica!!!!

A breast lift is also called a mastopexy. Our patient was looking for a smaller and firmer breast shape and was able to have this operation in our AAAASF surgical facility under tumescent local anesthesia. Listen to her testimonial about her recovery and how she feels about her results

"I feel confident and pretty" 
Such warm words from our lovely patient who is 2 1/2 months out from her Deep Plane Facelift. We often will connect patients who have undergone procedures to individuals who have questions and want to know what the experience is like from the view point of the patient. Often times these individuals keep up their relationship but never meet in person. Hear our patient recounts when our two patients meet in the waiting room and share their experiences and supporting encouragement.

Previous CoolSculpting can create challenging scarring and fibrosis. Hear our lovely patient discuss her journey in search of a sculpted abdomen after having had a sub optimal result from CoolSculpting. She came to us with many questions and we educated her about the technical aspects of Smart Liposuction and how the laser is well suited to break down the fibrotic scar tissue from CoolSculpting. We are so happy for her and appreciate her kind and appreciative words.
