Breast Surgery
••
Expertise in breast enhancement comes from years of experience in primary augmentation and more importantly in revision breast surgery. I have patients come from across the country for correction of conditions such as animation deformity. I published the proof-of-concept article on the use of acellular matrix (ADM's) and have been involved in clinical development of mesh support such as Galaflex in breast surgery. I believe that experience in revision breast surgery brings an understanding of how to avoid the problems leading patients to seek correction.

Abdominoplasty
••
Dr. Richard A. Baxter is a nationally recognized plastic surgeon providing expert techniques and methods when performing abdominoplasty at his accredited, private surgical facility in the Seattle area. Dr. Baxter pioneered the PTS method (Progressive Tension Suture) to place the scar low on the abdomen with minimal tension at the wound, achieving a finer, less noticeable scar. The PTS method also allows earlier removal of drain tubes and sometimes eliminates the need for them. Dr. Baxter also utilizes techniques such as the TAP block with Exparel to aid in a smoother tummy tuck recovery.
