Simply the Best - Knoxville, TN

Body Lift

I chose Dr. Reath after lengthy research on surgeons for my procedure. From the first phone call to the office, I instantly felt welcomed and safe. He is a surgeon with true artistic vision. He is also a man with integrity, and a great sense of humor! I live 7 hours away from Knoxville, and it was well worth the drive (several of them!) to have the honor of being his patient. Due to weight loss, I had lots of sagging skin, which really lowered my self esteem. Over the course of a year and a half, Dr. Reath performed a breast lift/augmentation and a circumferential body lift. The results are amazing! Dr. Reath has the ability to see beyond what is” and work towards “what can be”. His “personal approach to personal change” rings very true—he explains everything very thoroughly and answers every question. He also takes the time to answer his emails personally. He makes sure his patients are well informed and are realistic in their goals. His awards and accolades that he has received are well deserved, and is well respected in his profession. His staff is wonderful and caring, always giving the personal touch to whatever they do. Dr. Reath also keeps up with the current trends in his area of expertise, as well as keeping a personal connection with his patients through social media. I told Dr. Reath that he transformed my life by allowing the “real me” to shine through—he humbly said “you did the hard work; I just did the clean up!”. It is obvious he truly loves what he does—his patients are truly blessed to have him—a gifted surgeon, an artistic visionary and a wonderful person all rolled up in one!

Dr. Reath is the Only One You Need to See! - Knoxville, TN

Posted by delcatty20

After months of research, I decided to call Dr. Reath's office. I spoke with Teresa. She was so helpful over the phone, and just from talking with her, I felt completely comfortable. I booked a consult that day. I met with Dr. Reath on my consult day and he immediately put me at ease. He gave very realistic goals and answered every question I had. He and Mandy helped me choose the right size for my body type and walked me through the procedure. After meeting with Dr. Reath, I knew he was the surgeon that I wanted to operate on me. He has the best bedside manner that I have ever seen from a surgeon and spent more time with me than I could have imagined. I scheduled my surgery that day, there was no need to think about it. I knew I wanted him to do my surgery. Because of a latex allergy, Teresa had to work her magic and get me scheduled at a hospital rather than the surgery center, but she did it without any fuss or complaints. I was in and out of surgery in less than an hour and headed home within 2 hours. My recovery was easy, absolutely no problems. Dr. Reath even called the evening of my surgery to check on me. There is no need to look anywhere else if you are looking for a plastic surgeon, Dr. Reath is the best in every aspect. Thank you Dr. Reath, Teresa, and Mandy, you all changed my life!!

Breast Lift, Augmentation, and Mini Tummy Tuck - Knoxville, TN

First let me start by saying that I did not know Dr. Reath prior to my initial consultation with him, so I feel I can provide an unbiased review. I chose Dr. Reath after looking at different websites for the past three years. The pictures on his website demonstrated the more natural looking breast augmentation that I hoped to achieve - regardless of size, some surgeons seemed to "blend" the implants in better than others. Also, I think the boards he sits on, the Truth-O-Meter Tuesdays, his blogs, etc. reveal that he has a true interest in and excitement for his field. After meeting with him and his kind staff, I knew I was in the right place. Mandi, one of his nurses, was so helpful in choosing an implant size. She was patient, caring, and offered helpful advice. Dr. Reath answered all of my questions thoroughly prior to my procedures, and afterward answered questions that arose extremely promptly both by email and phone (including a call from him the evening of my surgery to see how I was doing). The surgery center staff was wonderful as well, I could not have been in better hands. I was really nervous going in, and they put me right at ease. I had a breast lift, augmentation, and mini tummy tuck. It has been about two months since my procedure and I could not be happier. True to my initial feeling, he is an excellent, excellent surgeon. He gave me exactly the results I asked for, and I have been enjoying my "new" breasts and flat stomach so much! I am so glad that I not only made the decision to have these procedures done, but especially that I chose Dr. Reath to do them. I am looking forward to swimsuit season so much this year!

Can I Start and Stop Botox and Fillers?

This is the next post in our new series called "You Ask. We Answer." The idea is to answer some of the questions that patients frequently ask. Today's answer comes from Jill Maze, RN, our wonderful Nurse Injector. I often have patients who just want to “try” an injectable wrinkle treatment such as Botox or Juvederm. A major concern is what the outcome will be after the product wears off and they worry that they will actually look worse than if they never had anything done. Botox...

Look Like Yourself After a Facelift: Here's How

Many times when I talk to patients about a facelift, I see this look come over their eyes signifying dread and fear – fear that they will look unnatural or freakish after the surgery. All of them have seen the unnatural appearance of some high profile people, particularly those in the entertainment industry, who have had facelifts or other operations. And there is no doubt that their results can give facelifts a bad rap. But, I would contend that, for each...

Why Your Botox Should be Bought in the USA

Recently the FDA sent letters to 350 physicians in the US directing them to cease using Botox and other medications that they ordered from foreign sources. Believe it or not, some doctors in order to save a few bucks are getting products like Botox at lower prices than they could buy here, and using them as they would any other product. This illegal practice puts making money ahead of insuring patient safety. In fact, we wrote an article about "Botox Bandits" in the most recent edition of...

Predictions & Protections: The Year Ahead In Plastic Surgery

Anyone got a crystal ball? When looking ahead to what may happen in the coming year in medicine and plastic surgery, that might come in very handy! I guess the same can be said about predicting what may happen with the country’s economy. We seem to have averted one “fiscal cliff” and set us up for three others. And while I don’t mean to get sidetracked on our country’s economic future, it will have some impact on what happens to plastic surgery in the coming year(s)...

Piercing Problems: Lobe Prevention, Care & Repair

It may not be the end of the world but problems with ear lobe piercings can be very irritating, not to mention a possible fashion faux pas. While this mainly affects women, some men have issues with this as well. (Always nice to have parity.) The Problem Predominantly the problem with the ear lobes is elongation of the piercing hole or, in more severe cases, the hole tearing all the way through the edge of the lobe. Elongated holes make earrings hang somewhat crooked, and the ones that...
