Best decision of my life - exceeded my expectations tremendously

To be honest I have never been under general anesthesia prior this surgery and although I trusted dr Reath, I still freaked out the night before. Thankfully on the day of surgery I calmed down a lot and dr Reath done nothing but exceeding my expectations tremendously!

Drainless Tummy Tuck and Lipo to Love Handles - Couldn’t be Happier

I have needed a tummy tuck since having my last child 14 year ago. I chose Dr. Reath after extensive research. I couldn’t be happier. He did a full abdominoplasty with the “muffinator” meaning he did lipo of my love handles as well.

Dr.Reath is #1, Second to None !

I recently had a breast augmentation & lift. In 2012 I had a tummy tuck and have been more than pleased ! I could never get jeans to fit and since the surgery, there's not a brand I can't wear. I was impressed by Dr. Reaths professional and the fact he takes every precaution and nothing for granted. The way I like to describe him is " he crosses every "T" and dots every "I". Your health is #1. Due to the fact it had been so many years since that surgery I decided to check out the reviews for other doctors in the area and once again, he was overwhelmingly rated #1 after all these years. So I drove 2 1/2 hours to have a consultation with him about having my breasts enlarged to the 'C' cup I had been most of my life. I didn't realize mother nature could be so cruel. I just did not look or feel right with a b cup. I explained this to him and he came back in with the perfect size the 1st time ! We were ready to roll again ! Same protocol with certain health guidelines to be met such as a clear mammogram etc. I went back to the same surgery center and the entire process went flawlessly. And just like my tummy tuck, I had no side effects and very , very little pain. The healing process went flawlessly. I am in the 3rd month post op and I am just thrilled as I was with my tummy tuck. It was worth every penny and what little down time I encountered. And just in case you want to know, I'm 61 years old ! I would recommend it to all women of any age. If your boobs sagging to your waist bothers you or you have lost a cup, FIX IT ! There's nothing better than feeling good about yourself. Even my husband is thrilled. He calls them his 'girls'. If you ever want to talk about it, just contact me through messenger but I will try to talk you into it, you can bet. Reath is the BEST ! Don't trust your health or physical enhancement to anyone else.

Tummy Tuck - Day 5 Post Op

I had a full tummy tuck and muscle repair on Tuesday, 6/22. The first few days were difficult. The worst was trying to figure out how to sit down and get up without it hurting. By day two, my husband and I had a system down and it has been smooth sailing since. I am also off of pain meds since yesterday. My back hurts more than anything and I cannot wait to lay flat and snuggle next to my hubby at night. However, I have my follow up on Monday and hope I will be able to sleep normal and start to walk upright. I am a little worried about the scar. I was so focused on a flat stomach that I didn't think too much about the scar. I am eager to talk to the dr. about the best scar treatment. I know that this will take time too. As far as my stomach itself- it looks great, even with swelling only 2 days after the surgery. I was worried about the recovery. Worried I wouldn't even be able to go to the bathroom my myself..but no issues there. Dr. Reath is wonderful. He always, always takes time to talk and explain things, answers questions, called after I got home to check on me. He did my implants too and I trust him completely.

Surgery Scheduled!

I have my breast augmentation scheduled for 5/29. So excited! I have had two children. I'm 5'7" and 145lb and I've wanted to do this for several years after basically "deflating" after breast feeding and postpartum weight loss. I'm very active and love to lift weights so this will be a challenge to take a break from that. I'm going over the muscle with soft touch 450cc silicone implants. My surgeon and I decided on over the muscle due to my activity and weightlifting and also a speedier recovery I'd love to hear from some women with similar builds and also would love some recommendations on supportive sports bras and things you thought was important to have post op that I may not know :) My pre op is tomorrow . Getting more excited every day! *look over the sunburn. Pool day with the kids got me!* Updated on 23 May 2020: I’m like a kid waiting on Christmas! Received all My pre op instructions and kits! Taking plenty of “before” pictures in anticipation of the after! I’ll update a couple of days after surgery! Updated on 31 May 2020: Day1 post breast augmentation! Everything went great! The pain has been tolerable. Mostly soreness and very tight. My left breast and under my arm is much more sore than my right and has more bruising underneath. The incisions look great but No one warned me how bad taking the tegaderms off in the shower would hurt! Ouchhhh! But felt great to shower and applied my ointment. Been resting a lot. Definitely in love with my new boobs and it's been totally worth it! Updated on 7 Jun 2020: Healing has been great! Had my one week post op visit yesterday. Stitches came out. I can say that my smile has not been bigger. When I try on shirts, bras and lingerie I feel so much sexier! I honestly feel like this is what I was MEANT to look like. I have no pain. I was able to hit the gym today and do some cardio on the stair stepper and isolated leg exercises. I won't do any free weights or arms for a while yet, but low impact and legs feel great. I have no regrets. Life changing! Updated on 28 Jun 2020: Healing has been easy breezy! Would I do This over? HECK YES! I have never been so confident! I say If you’re reading this GO FOR IT! Dr Reath is amazing and I wold give him and is office 5 stars.

Tummy Tuck

I honestly look and feel better than before any of my pregnancies

Words can’t explain how pleased i am with Dr. Reath and the results he gave me. He delivered on everything i was looking for in a tummy tuck. I had a very specific list after reviewing MANY doctors and seeing a pattern in the results their patients ended up with. I have a very low scar which is very very thin, my belly button looks natural, the contour of my waist is so attractive and lean; my belly is flat and i no longer have those unsightly “rolls” that bulge over my pants when i sit down. I am petite and I’ve always been pretty active, but after my second child which weighed 9 lbs, I was left with overstretched skin, in need of muscle repair and just feeling uncomfortable. I worked on my nutrition and exercised frequently with all my effort, but I was at a point where that just wasn’t going to tighten me back up. On top of all that Dr. Reath is a very kind and professional person, he took the time to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed. His staff is very friendly and always answered my questions ( and i called a lot). I honestly look and feel better than before any of my pregnancies and I never thought thought that I could look this great! Another big plus is that he provides everything you medically need for recovery and supplies pre-op things as well so you’re not running around trying to find the best products. I highly highly recommend him. His results gallery speaks for itself!

We Shall Call Him Doctor Amazing!

Board Certified David Reath is just a cool dude to sum him up!! I liked him from the first time I researched him! I am 7 days post mommy makeover and I feel like he took care of me like he would his own family. I recommend him to everyone! His assistant Mandi is just as wonderful! These two are just changing the world one person at a time!! Love her! In my opinion having 5 csections my recovery has been very similar. I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, Liposuction for contouring and silicone soft touch behind the meso breast implants 335 cc on the right 345 cc on the left

Dr. Reath is FANTASTIC

After much research I decided on Dr. Reath and I am so glad that I did. I just love Dr. Reath and his staff! He genuinely cares for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. He does phenomenal work and I highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed. Updated on 10 Oct 2019: Didn’t have an opportunity to add photos to my original post, so I wanted to update. My breasts were not symmetrical before the augmentation and Dr. Reath told me they wouldn’t be afterwards without a lift to the left side and I was ok with that. He said we could go back and do that later if I wanted and I may do that at some point especially if I were to ever get bigger implants! I still love my results and feel better about myself than I have in a long time!
