A. James Paine Jr., MD - Account Suspended

A week post op. Still uncomfortable and in pain but I love them so far! I can’t wait until they drop down to where they’re supposed to be. I loved the surgical team and healing springs. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable

Still some discomfort but I’m starting to notice it less and less. My right nipple is extremely sensitive but my scars are healing quite nicely. They have dropped some but not as much as I would like.

He is very professional and all of his staff are super nice! My breasts look beautiful! He did a fantastic job. I had my surgery 2 1/2 months ago and couldn't be more pleased. His rates are reasonable too. Highly recommend his services. 

He is absolutely amazing at what he does! I had a breast augmentation several years ago, and I am extremely pleased with the results. Even my gynecologist is impressed, asking me who performed my surgery. Very, very, minimal scarring. They look very natural and symmetrically balanced. After the augmentation, I received a gift certificate for a free mini facial and massage as a thank you for choosing his services. I highly recommend Dr. Paine. 

I also really liked that 3D imaging is part of the initial consultation. It really helped with deciding the perfect size for me. (After having 3 children) I decided to go from an A to a D cup. My augmentation included some extra work with my naturally disproportionate nipples, they are also symmetrically balanced! The augmentation really boosted my confidence level. I have always struggled with my body image and Dr. Paine's expertise gave me life changing results.

I had 405cc silicone implants placed behind the muscle 9 months ago. Dr. Paine and the staff at Beckley Surgery Center worked hard to answer all of my questions make sure my experience and results were top notch. I could not be more pleased! I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in pursuing procedures that will help you look your best!

I was amazed at how awesome Dr.Paine did on my body. I have had 3 kids and my body has stretched and shrunk so many times that I had extra skin and a sagging chest and it was so upsetting. My husband missed seeing my body and I didn’t feel confident showing him it. After Dr.Pain gave me a lift and implants to basically replace the tissue taken out and give upper pole fullness. I fill so much better about being a confident momma. He cut off my extra skin that hung over my c section mark as well. I feel he was very professional and kind. All of the staff made me feel comfortable in their care. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the results so far and I couldn’t recommend him more!

I initially went to see Dr. Paine for a breast augmentation. I was also interested in facial filers as I had several sunken places in my face where I have gained and lost weight over the past few years. Dr. Paine and his wife Dawn really helped me out. They suggested Juvederm and over the last couple of months I have really seen a nice difference in my face. It is fuller and more rounded and more youthful. I also received Dysport and got my upper lip done. They really work with you at Healing Springs and they are very sensitive to your feelings. They are a really great group of people and I suggest them to everyone I know. They offer a wide range of services from body massage to Breast Augmentation, facial filers and so much more! They really are the place to go to help you look and feel your best! Thank you Dr. P and Dawn and Ashley and everyone else at Healing Springs Medical Spa for everything!!!

I was a deflated b before surgery and now a double d and look natural :) I love shopping at Victoria Secrets for my bras now and my self esteem is so much better and I love the way they look in my tops. I also got several facial filers at this office and they are so helpful I love Dawn ...Dr. Paines wife. Always there for you before and after the surgery and Ashley at the front desk Sooooooo helpful! Love them all and hope to have more things done with this office. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Healing Springs Medical Spa for any of your procedures.
This doctor and his staff are wonderful. Awesome group of people ...just love them.
Thank you Dr. Paine

Hello everyone! I've been reading all of your reviews for weeks now! Trying to calm my nerves about my upcoming breast augmentation! It's only 13 days away and I'm so nervous, my stomach is literally in knots. I've always wanted bigger breasts. Before I had my daughter they were a full b. While I nursed her for 14 months, they were a nice C cup. But then after I stopped nursing, they were A cups/ small B and not very full looking. Kindive saggy and just not much to look at lol. My confidence kindive plummeted after that, I am so self conscious of them, especially in a bathing suit, as I have nothing to fill it out.. My husband is so so supportive and I think he's pretty excited lol. He keeps saying I don't need it, and I'm beautiful, but we joke and laugh about what size bras I'm gonna need and how my boobs may get in the way of his hugs lol! I've wanted this for years and never had the courage to do it. My sister is really the one who gave me that courage. She had already chosen her date and I went with her to an appt, and decided if she can do this, I can do this. She recently found out she was prefab at and isn't able to now though.. So now I'm freaking out, feeling alone, and not sure if I have the strength she had. I really really want this, I'm just terrified of being put to sleep. I'm hoping some of you guys can calm my nerves lol! My mom has had hers done, and I told her yesterday I was thinking of backing out and she said " noooooo! You will be fine!" Any calming advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you for taking the time to read my review! I will post some pics later today!

Sorry it's been so long! Figured I would post an update! Here is what I look like now at 5 months post op! It took me a while because I did suffer from depression and anxiety after. I would have panic attacks and everything. It was rough. But I'm ok now. I think it was just the shock of everything. T Like

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to check in! I'm actually going in for a revision on march 30th.. I know.. really sucks, but my implants were a bit too high, and the type of implant we chose just isn't the best for me. They are soft and I love them, but not what I had pictured as my end result. Dr Paine is doing my revision, as I know I have said before, he is a perfectionist. I'm told the revision isn't as bad as far as recovery, since everything has been stretched already.. looking forward to getting this over with and having the breasts I wanted.. xoxo

My revision was definitely worth it. My boobs are bigger and I love the way they look. Dr Payne goes on and on about my cleavage, how close together my breasts are, even used the word model. I'm so happy!

Had a good 4-cycle Coolsculpting treatment with Ashley yesterday, but was rather bummed to find an email from an Elite Coolsculpting provider offering 8 treatments for $3200 with 2 free treatments FREE, a $1,600 value. Note that if you have trouble walking, you may not be able to access the room with their treatment equipment.

I also had a consult with Donna their nurse injector who does both Botox and Juvaderm. Her face seemed overly smooth and her eyebrows were elevated over her brow bone. Perhaps it's from surgery?

I am disappointed and evermore saddened. I had breast implants 05/2018. I had verbalized on MANY occasions, not only with the doctor, but with the clinical staff (ultimately it's the surgeons responsibility), what I wanted and DID NOT want. I even took many example pictures the day of surgery. Ultimately, I woke up to 2 cup sizes larger than I wanted and one breast never "dropped". I went back and had a revision surgery a few months later. Even after the revision surgery my breast is visibly different than the other. I understand that everyone's body is different but given the astronomical amount of money I have spent, and the many excuses for the size, I feel devastated. I'm so irregular and unsymmetrical that I can't find a proper fitting bra and I'm embarrassed to wear a bathing suit (more than prior to the surgery). I was informed after the initial surgery that I would need a mastopexy in order to have the smaller implant size I originally wanted. That was NEVER initially discussed, if it had been I could have considered that as an option prior to surgery. I later discovered after the revision surgery the implant wasn't replaced with a new one and therefore the manufacture warranty is void.
As far as the entire staff and clinicians, they have ALWAYS been nothing less than professional but that doesn't help my current situation. Unfortunately, I've spent my entire savings and I feel hopeless.

Unsuccessful revision surgery. Dr.
Paine has failed to contact me and is aware of the results. I have contacted the office and spoken to Dawn his wife/ practice manager. I was told I would be contacted and still haven’t heard anything.
