Christopher S. Jones, MD

Dr Jones is a master of his craft and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering an extended tummy tuck. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about getting you the absolute best results, checks in on you during recovery, and will be there for you every step of the way then Dr Jones is who should choose. The only issue I had was I got a seroma (very common with a drain-less extended tummy tuck) and Dr Jones went way out of his way to make sure it was fixed asap. He even met me in the office on a holiday to drain the seroma which I greatly appreciated. The entire staff is filled with people who will go out of their way to make you feel like your safe and at home. I am very blessed to be apart of this great family and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone looking to go see Dr Jones.

Lost a lot of weight in a month due to some medical problems, so it did a lot of "aging" to my face! Had a lot of sagginess and wrinkles around my eyes, so decided to do a brow lift that would take care of that--on the sides of my eyes/face and under my eyes. Went in the hair line, on the different places, that were hidden from my hair. He used "glue" not stitches and has worked well.

Had some swelling and bruising half of my face, but went away quit quick. Thought the pain would have been alot worse but was pleasantly surprised! Was able to function right away, just looked "a little beat up", for about a week. Did try fillers and botox, needed more of a tightening procedure. To me and others, was well worth it! Really have loved the staff and dr. Christopher jones, feel very comfortable around them all!

Doctor Jones has done 2 surgeries for me now and both times I've been extremely pleased with the results and just the overall experience with him. He's very kind and attentive. He's also thorough and listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered. I had an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair for one surgery and an extended breast lift for my other. I've had zero complications with either surgery. If I ever need anything else done I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him in a heartbeat.

Scars are healing very nicely and ab definition is showing more now that swelling has decreased at 4 month post op. My belly button has taken a better shape now too. It used to be an outtie during the first few weeks but now that the swelling has decreased, my belly button has morphed to look great, its now a nice hooded innie.

I will say I have had plastic surgery done but never in Indiana, I always felt that if you went somewhere more custom to plastic surgery that you’d get better results. But I have to say i have a few girlfriends that have gotten work done and it was done perfectly. I have not yet had any surgical procedures done with Dr. Jones, but I definitely intend to. I have had injectables done by Taylor and I have to say her bedside manner and over all performance is outstanding. They constantly have specials going on to make it much more affordable. Extremely easy to make appointments which is huge for me. I will absolutely be a returning patient of theirs for a long time to come!

I have only good things to say about my experience with Dr. Jones, his staff, and my results. I had a tummy tuck on Oct. 1 and am 13 days post op as I write this. I feel fine and I look fantastic even with the post surgical swelling. I loved reading detailed stories while I was researching and preparing for surgery so I'll offer that in return. For those that don't need every detail, I think Dr. Jones is amazing and his results speak volumes. I also was up and about quicker than many reviewers I've read about which is a very individualized thing and not necessarily having anything to do with the surgeon but he certainly helped to make that possible. I'm thrilled and I feel like I don't have to hide my stomach anymore.

Here's the story:

Even in photos of myself as a toddler, I looked like I had previously been pregnant. There was a tight band of skin going around the front of my waist at my belly button and two distinct "tummies" above and below it. The one below was multiple handfuls of skin and fat regardless of my weight. In college, I got down to 115 lbs and had barely any breasts and no hips or butt but I still could grab a couple handfuls of fat at my waist. I spent my teenage years and 20s telling myself I was fat and lazy when I was nothing of the sort. Later in life, my weight did get too high and in 2018 I lost 40 lbs. It was at that point, looking in the mirror that I decided I needed to see a plastic surgeon to finally figure out what was going on. I was perfectly fine with my body, except for my stomach. I had a photo consult with Dr. Turkle, and in person consultations with Dr. Fata and Dr. Van Natta. I had scoured this site and every review I could find. I thought I had made up my mind and then discovered Dr. Jones and decided to have one last consultation because it was clear he had done a lot of tummy tucks. I had my consult in Jan. 2019 and I knew before I even got 10 steps out of his office, I would be going with him. He was the only doctor who satisfied my curiosity and explained what was going on under my skin to cause the shape of my stomach. While it may not have been anything particularly remarkable to a plastic surgeon, my whole life I wondered why I didn't look like anyone I knew and certainly didn't look like anyone in a magazine!

His staff kept up with me and then some. His patient coordinator at the time knew I was going to have serious difficulty fitting a surgery into my work schedule but she kept me in mind and kept in touch with me regarding promotions etc. which was incredibly helpful. I had surgery on the 1st downtown at the surgical center (I had a choice between that or a hospital on the northside) and then spent that night at the Columbia Club downtown. Knowing I was close to Dr. Jones was wonderful and having my mother stay with me there was so much better than spending the night in a hospital alone. The staff at the surgical center was fantastic as well! I was awake for maybe 45 minutes in total while I was there but I thought they were just stellar! The most pain I felt throughout this process was waking up after surgery. At this stage now, I am really appreciating the fact that I didn't have any bandages on when I woke up and was able to view my results before the swelling kicked in. I couldn't have been more happy! If I had been all wrapped up and only saw myself after the swelling was in full swing, I think I would be worried that these would be my final results and shape.

Personally, I was never worried about a scar at all. I had spent my whole life with what looked like a belt of skin around my stomach that was even a different color than the rest of my skin so a scar just didn't matter one bit to me. That said, my scar looks great. There was only surgical glue on it afterwards, no bandages. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. There was significant pleating done but I had researched that as well and Dr. Jones assured me it would go away - there is hardly any left at this point and if any of it sticks around, I'm sure it will be fixable. BTW, my wax esthetician and I have talked plastic surgery extensively and she's seen a lot of bare tummies - she specifically mentioned Dr. Jones' scars were remarkable.

My belly button looks... like a belly button! And I hear that creating one has been a real pain in the rear in the history of tummy tucks. I keep being surprised by where it is when I touch my stomach so it must be slightly at a different level than it was before but it looks like I was born with it. Any scar and/or stitching is inside as opposed to on the surface of my stomach so it looks totally normal.

It's a much more serious procedure than I think most people give it credit for. I'd heard that you need someone around for the first 72 hours. I am so grateful that my mother was able to stay with me for a week. I needed help on days 4 and 5 specifically. Pushing and pulling was impossible those days. I tried to open a dresser drawer and cried. Getting up from a reclined position is still a pain in the butt. Make sure you have adequate help and adequate time off from work. Two weeks would be best. I went in on days 9 and 10 for partial days. It caused additional swelling to be up and about but I can't say it delayed my progress or healing in any way. There was pain, discomfort, swelling (that makes me feel like I'm 40 lbs heavier again and I have to really remind myself won't last forever), and moments I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't want to jump up and down. All that said, this has been totally worth it. I am smiling looking at myself in a bikini not even two weeks out from surgery. Stamp of approval. I will add photos and update as time goes on.

It's been a month since surgery and I feel good. Still swollen somewhat and, while totally normal, it is annoying and it's hard to be patient. Sleep positions, swelling and compression garments are my only real complaints. Trying to be patient.

5 weeks post surgery today. This morning I took off my compression wrap and thought I looked a bit flatter so I grabbed a measuring tape and I am a full inch smaller at my belly button! I am definitely less swollen and bloated today than I have been. Swelling seems to be mostly confined the area directly around the scar.

After losing over 180 lbs, I was left with excess skin around my stomach area that would make noises (like clapping sounds) while working out at the gym. I wanted to have a tummy tuck, but wanted to find a doctor that had more experience dealing with former morbidly obese patients. Dr Jones was highly recommended, so I scheduled a consult. He is very easy to talk to, gives honest feedback, and everyone in the office is very friendly. I am now post-op day #8, and I feel pretty good, and even though it isn’t the easiest recovery, I know if I have questions or concerns at any time, Dr. Jones is just a call/text away. I plan to have some additional work done next year, and will definitely go back to Dr. Jones!

Hi! I’m 28 years old, 5’2”, weighing 154lbs. I’m getting liposuction of upper/lower abdomen, flanks, back, bra strap roll and chin. My biggest concern out of all of these is my abdomen, and flanks. I think having those reduced will change my confidence big time. I have decent breast and buttox size so I’m hoping that snatching in my waist I’ll look more contoured and my clothes will fit better. Can’t wait to shop afterwords!! I went to 5 different consultations in the Indianapolis area and I ended up scheduling with Dr. Jones! We seemed to have vibed the best. Something that really stood out to me about Dr. Jones, was that he mentioned how he would treat me if something were to have gone wrong and that he takes pride in his bed side manor. That meant a lot to me! I love his artistic side and his wonderful team of woman who are so helpful and supportive! I have been saving up for this for quite some time now and I am so so excited yet nervous too. I’m prepared for post opp bruising, swelling, pain, discomfort ect. and have all of my ducks in a row to recovery as fast as I can! I’m going to post my lipo journey on here to show my progress along with before/after pictures! 6 more days!!

I’m turning 40 this year and decided to celebrate by having my double chin removed. I had a prior adverse outcome with general anesthesia and was hoping to avoid it if possible. Dr. Jones was amazing - so very kind and easy to speak with. He did the procedure under local - was very patient and took his time. I am beyond thrilled with my outcome and I am only 1 week out. Minimal bruising, minimal swelling, excellently healing incision and a defined jawline. I cannot say enough about how great Dr. Jones and his staff are. Time there passed so quickly. The procedure went well and I also got a few hours of great conversation. Highly recommend!!!

I wish I would have done this sooner! If there was a higher rating for Dr Jones I would give him that! I think my before and after pictures speak for themselves, but I love how my clothes finally look right again! After 3 kids all 3 c sections, weight fluctuations, and my youngest child being 11.5 lbs my abdomen was worthless! Now at a month out my lower back no longer hurts because my stomach is weak and huge, my posture is better, and I feel so much better about how I look! Was more painful than I anticipated for the first week and a half but not unbearable, and certainly not anything that would keep me from making the same decision again.

I have been wanting a tummy tuck for at least 10 years but I have always been to chicken to actually go through with it. My belly is a mess from having 4 kids one c-section and than a abdominal hysterectomy. Growing up I was always pretty skinny until I had children than it all changed. My highest weight was 208 then I got down to 168 back up to 187 ???? The weight always goes to my tummy! Finally I did a few consults (6) and the last one was the best Dr Pyle. His confidences in his work is very reassuring and he made sure to explain everything to me. He answered everything before I even had to ask. I really felt safe knowing he would be the one taking care of me. When you meet the right doctor you just know and he was absolutely the right doctor for me. A plus is his wife does the anesthesia! (She's is just awesome as him) I went in being over weight 187 at 5'8 and he worked miracles for me. He does drainless tummy tucks which is a plus! The whole office is very sweet and helpful! I had my surgery to weeks after meeting Dr Pyle. I am one week post up and feeling great each day get better and better! Updated on 11 Aug 2018: I am almost 6wpo now and I am so in love with my results. Dr Pyle is the most amazing doctor ever! He gave me the body I have always wanted! I am so happy that I did this surgery and that I picked Dr Pyle. My results are getting better with each day.
