Daniel J. Wood, MD

I am 57 years old. I desired CO2 repair to soften wrinkles, remove sun damage and even skin tone.
I am only twelve days post op, so I am not sure of long-term results. My doctor tells me I will continue to see improving results for up to a year from now.
I am happy so far, but would like to see further results.

Excellent bedside manner, surgery was better than expected. Very little swelling, no more tired look and able to see more. I would recommend Dr. Wood for this procedure. Very professional and overall an excellent Plastic Surgeon.

Back pain and the look of aging breasts and the desire to be very physically active led me to have this procedure. In addition 3 years ago I had DCIS in my right breast which left it puckered. Dr. Wood was able to fix that problem as well as remove a lot of the breast tissue which was my main reDi for ha I guess the procedure. Family history of double breast cancer and mastectomies

I have felt with my loose skin and stretch marks since my very first pregnancy when I was 18...my oldest is now 15..and done having babies so now on investigating in myself a little bit... Not looking to be a super model just wanting to feel more comfortable in my own skin...I would like for all my efforts and hard work to show more in my absence area... So far the process has been great and tomorrow after my surgery I will let you Ann know more...

The surgery went well.. No complications.... I am draining much fluid at all, so when I got back to see the Dr today before heading home I am going to ask if that is normal.. Pain is at a minimum bcoz I've been staying on top of my pain meds... I've been getting around well beside a drunk feeling the meds give... Appetite is very love, I ate a banana and half and that little amount of food made me feel uncomfortably stuffed...I'll give more information after I see the Dr again today..

Feeling great... Pain is bearable...full of energy to the point I can hardly sleep.. Probably bcoz of the pain meds... I did get a glimpse of my new tummy when I went to see my PS before making the trip back home...it looked great, very pleased so.. I'll take a picture when I take a shower...Dr Wood has been amazing, no complaints what so ever... I am very happy that I picked him...

Still feeling pretty good.. Very itchy all over... Very uncomfortable to eat, doesn't take much to feel me up and make me feel stuffed...still not sleeping much, I think the pain pills are making me hyper instead of tired... Planning on taking a shower tomorrow so ill have more pics to share then..

Healing well so far.. Very swollen and belly feels strange but healing well so no complaints so far..

Updated on 27 Mar 2016:
Today I am 5 days post op.... Woke up feeling pretty good today... I am ready to get these drains out but that won't be happening for a few more days... Everything is still about the same.. I've been winging myself off the pain meds, only taking when I absolutely need to.. Getting excited to see glimpse of what my belly will look like..

Updated on 29 Mar 2016:
I felt really good when I woke up today.. Swelling was down and I could stand up straighter which he gave me a better idea of what my results are gonna be... I am pretty excited to see and feel some progress in a good direction..

Feeling really good today

I currantly had a daughter of May 18, 2010. The best thing that has ever happened to me. During the pregnancy I went from 129 to 201 but I was all baby. I ended up having a emergency cesarian section and following that I had a lot of extra loose skin that was past its elasticity point to go back to its original form that this was the only way to fix it.

Im so nervous, anxious, and excited all at the same time. Im also having breast augumentation to go with it. I had breastfeed and I lost a lot of fullness and went down two cup sizes. Wow Right? That is one thing I didnt expect to happen post breastfeeding. I cant wait.

Well im one week away and so nervous. Looking forward to a new me but at the same time hoping that they are the results im looking for. I do have a question though my doctor has never did blood work or nothing to see if im physically healthy enough is that normal?

Updated on 1 May 2011:
I had my tummy tuck almost one week ago and boy is there alot of pain. Definitly keeping up on my pain meds. I have experienced quite a bit of swelling not only in my abdominal area as well as throughout my legs and feet. I do not have a pain pump but do have two drains that are absolutly herendous. They have been the worst experience out of the whole thing. I think in the end I will love the results. My hips already look great from the lipo my abdomen is a little to hard to tell from now its really swollen and have alot of gas bubbles. Still no BM. I dont know if it is normal to go that long or not. Still am very limited in what I do. Im always so very tired and worn out. This is Day 5 Post Op

I had my implants done about 10 years ago. They never were in the right place my implants were really high. He told me it was a capsular contracture and he could fix it. He operated again and still they were too high and uneven. The nipple was underneath the implants. Now I have a ruptured implant likely from the improper placement. Due to contracture I am not able to get implants replaced and will have a very expensive surgery to remove my implants that will leave me Maimed for The rest of my life

So far so good..my surgery is set for may 24th 2017!! So nervous, yet excited to have my BL and BA!! I really hope he does an amazing job!! I wanna go back to my dd..after having children and breast feeding and all the ware and tare on your body of pregnancy...and hell just gravity taking over lol!! I once again wanna have perkier breast, fuller breast...I am 33 and feel it's time!! My consult with Dr wood was great..he takes his time..my only complaint is he doesn't wanna do over 500 cc with my lift, which was a major disappointment to me cause I wanted 750-800. I am just gonna try and have faith in doc wood in thinking he knows what he is doing!! 21 yrs is a long time!! Doc Wood if u read this make my boobies beautiful again lol his staff was amazing, especially lori the coordinator!! She has an amazing, funny personality!! I only wish she could be in the OR the day of surgery lol!! The nurses where personable and very friendly, beautiful gals!! So I shall let yall know my outcome!! If I have great results I will be going back for my TT next year to doc Wood!!

Going in a week for my surgery super excited I have had a apron since the birth of my oldest daughter. I went from 120lbs to 210 while pregnant with her. She stretched my stomach out beyond recognition. The following year my middle son filed all that extra skin back out but I was a stay at home momma back then and got the baby weight back off immediately... 7 long years later I was divorced depressed and had a 1 month old son (my third). And suddenly back on the dating scene with a body I felt looked like Freddy Kruger mared. I haven't seen my pubic region with pulling it up or looking in a mirror for so long, I have forgotten what its like to love my body. I hate how my clothes fit as well as my skin tone won't go out in sun like this so I'm as white as a sheet of paper (which for me worsens my self image). I have developed emotional problems and have went from being the life of the party to quiet nervous and with drawn, can't wait to be the social butterfly I was before with my second chance aka tt. I will also be having lipo for contouring. So much anxiety about what its going to look like. Obviously not like before I got pregnant. But close I hope I just don't wanna be ashamed any more. I haven't been able to lose all the baby weight from the last angel, but that's OK no one expects me to look like I did at 17. I am 5'8'' and holding at 170lbs, a lil more than I'd like but I can live with it as long as it tones up with exercise. My surgery is something u have wanted for 12 years still have guilt for doing it... But its now or never!!! So much anxiety, I'm posting the horrid before pics too :'(... Only so comparison can be made after ugggh that's so hard to show the body I have spent the last decade plus trying to hide.... Wish me luck any tips or advise wld be appreciated, see you all on the flat side! (Hopefully) fingers crossed.

I have still not healed around my belly button and my incision line has a bruise that has turned into a sore and is now black and oozing. I am now two weeks post op. Went to a appointment yesterday and PS said its going to take a lot longer to heal. When we pulled the steri strips off my belly button its like the incision was moist and very soft and the skin lifted with the strips. The place that looked bruised originally it now about the size of a quarter and black and skin has peeled back like when you get a blister and it pops. :( also the PS said not to use anymore tape weither its plastic or paper tape its causing itchy burning blisters where it lays on my skin, can't win for losing. Will post more pics

Scared the red areas around the sore will also turn into sores. Wishing this nightmare was over.

Updated on 13 Mar 2016:
So my sore is looking better and so is my incision. Still worried about the big place in the middle. I go tomorrow to see my PS will keep everyone posted..

Updated on 15 Apr 2016:
So my stitches in the middle were removed at one month due to skin being so tight a long time later than they were supposed to be, I'm now two months post op one week after stitches in middle were removed the sore started getting worse, now it's a deep sore

Updated on 25 Jun 2016:

Still DO NOT think its worth the risk you take!!!

Awful consultation for breast augmentation and lift. I would not recommend him to anyone. He is out to make money and doesn't care what you want. He wants to make all the choices. And his opinions are awful-in my opinion. Old fashioned is a good quality but not when it comes to surgery! This is based on my first impression.

Hello, how are you all today. I'm 19 years old and I have decided to get a breast augmentation. See when I was 8 I was diagnosed with cancer. I had all kinds of surgeries and a number of chemotherapy and radiation. And because of all of this I never developed any breast. I don't want to get them for anyone else but my self. I want to feel more feminine and right now I don't have that. My surgery date is December 5, 2013 and I'm super excited. I only have 17 days til my BA! But anyways just wanted to tell you guys a little bit about my story and why I decided to go with BA surgery!!(:

Updated on 18 Nov 2013:
Well I'm extremely nervous. I have 16 days and it just hit me suddenly. I'm afraid that something's gonna go wrong.. I really like to see and hear all of y'all's experiences and they are really helping me get through this nervous stage. I'm also afraid that I am going to end up with dd and I only want a c. Well anyways I am just praying that I recover really good and they d&f fairly fast.

Updated on 19 Nov 2013:
Well my ex wanted to get back together with me and I told him that I made a decision to get a breast augmentation and he went off telling me I was only doing it for attention and that it's nasty and fake and no guy will ever want to be with me. And all of this.. :( way to make me feel awful. I'm doing this for me.. I found out I had cancer at 8 years old and I went through rounds and rounds and even more rounds of chemotherapy and then even more rounds of radiation and I also had a bone marrow transplant. And because of all of the head-to-toe radiation and all the doses of chemotherapy I never developed and I feel like less of a woman. I'm 19 I shouldn't be depressed with anything but I am because I know that even through the years my girls will never develop and that's not fair to me. I am doing it for me and for my life and happiness no one else's. Sorry girls just had to vent a little bit. But anyways girls will be here December 5th which is 15 days...(:

I look around and see all of these women walkin around with really big boobs. It's sad. I'm super excited to have my own boobs. In the picture I just posted my size is the top and my sisters size is the bottom. As you can tell I can't even fill my own shirt. It's sucks because I have really pretty tops and can't wear them because my chest is too small. It just makes me more and more happy and excited to have boobs. I am counting down the days til December 5, 2013. No one will ever change my mind about getting this done. My family is supportive but everyone else in the world thinks I'm just gonna turn into some kind of [RS bleep]. I went through school as the girl that never spoke unless she was spoken to and I was so afraid of being judged for my true self that I just stayed quiet and never spoke a word. I'm not gonna be like that anymore I'm not going to be embarrassed about getting a BA because my body won't do it itself. This is me. Think of me however you want. Judge me if you want. I don't care anymore.

Here is a picture of the front and the side. I don't even fill an A cup!!): but anyways I only have like 14 days left...(: getting excited..

Updated on 21 Nov 2013:
Well tomorrow I am getting my nieces (: I'm so happy. I'm glad I can spend some time with them before my surgery. I'm so anxious when I think about my surgery. I get on my sisters nerves when I talk about the new addition I'm adding to my life((: but I'm excited. I have 13 days left and I'm almost in the single digits!!(: well this is all for now I'm just gonna head downstairs. Thanks for all the love and support...

Updated on 23 Nov 2013:
I'm getting so nervous. It all seems so unreal. Does anyone have any advice about healing quicker or things I should get before my surgery? I would greatly appreciate all the help and advice I could get. Well anyways next week I have to get my blood work done before I can get my BA and honestly I'm super excited!! You girls have really helped me through a lot. And I really appreciate everything. Thank you girls!!(:

Updated on 23 Nov 2013:
I'm super ecstatic I'm so happy!! But I have a few questions for you girls. Is it okay to dye hair 5 days before surgery? And what should I do about my tongue piercing? I can't leave it out. Well anyone that can help me with these questions please do. I really need help!!(:

Updated on 23 Nov 2013:
Meant 11 days! Lol.

Updated on 24 Nov 2013:
I have 10 days 4 hours and 35 minutes. It almost here!! I'm super excited. I don't think my family understands but this is a dream. I have dreams every night and they are fantastic. After my surgery I'm gonna get back into shape and I'm hoping to get a tan and everything. I'm just hoping everything works out and goes wonderfully!! Well off to bed!!

Updated on 26 Nov 2013:
Welp we are in the single digits now!! 9 days 1 hour and 45 minutes! How exciting is that!! I'm super excited that in 1 week and 2 days I will be a new transformed self confident girl!!!(: oh goodness this is really happening!!(: I can't wait. But it's time for some sleep girls..

Updated on 27 Nov 2013:
I had called my drs office last week and talked to the nurse cause I had some questions. And I'm gonna have to go in cause she said that the ones that they wrote down was the 475 cc and I really don't know if that was right or not so I'm gonna go in and resize these. Cause I'm a small person I'm only 5'2 & 1/2 and I don't want dd ds!!!

Updated on 30 Nov 2013:
Alright y'all!! The time is just about here. I have my countdown going!! I'm not even nervous anymore. I am gonna go to the dr and resize cause when I called she said they wrote down 475 cc and that seems a little too big. Especially looking at all the pictures. But I'm super excited and it's so close. Less then 5 days. Thursday will be the big day and honestly I'm happy. I won't be picked on or feel like I'm less of a woman anymore. This feels fantastic. My dreams are coming true and it will be here in the blink of an eye.
QUESTION: Should I go in early? The nurse told me to be there by 6:30am but I think I might show up at 6:00am just to be on the safe side. I got all of my christmas shopping done thank god. But anyways I figure I'm gonna stay up all night Wednesday night so I can sleep all day.. I'm hoping I heal pretty fast and can start doing my everyday routines about a month afterwards! Oh just everyone pray for me and I'll make sure to put up some pictures in 4 1/2 days!!(: thanks for all the love and support y'all!! You've all really helped me get through this!!!(:

Updated on 1 Dec 2013:
I'm going to get blood work done tomorrow so I can get everything done. I'm so excited..(: only a few more days and I'll be waking up with breasts! (:

Updated on 3 Dec 2013:
Well it's only a few days away. I've only got to wait 2 days sand the time will be here. I will post picture after I get out of surgery. Can't wait til I can share my experience with everyone! I'm a little nervous I'm not gonna lie but my joy takes over and I just can't stop thinking about December the 5th!! I get on my sister's nerve when I say something about them but I can't help it. I had to get my blood work done and they stuck me 3 times at first then had to call someone else in and she got it on the 1st try. I was stuck 4 times :( but anyways I just want to say thank you to all of you that I have read about and to everyone that has read my story it means a lot and has helped me so much through this pre op time! Thank you girls so much. I will update you all tomorrow.. (:

Updated on 4 Dec 2013:
Well y'all tomorrow is the day. At 6:30am I have to be to the dr for all the paperwork then I'll be falling asleep. Just pray for me.

Updated on 5 Dec 2013:
Well girls today is the day! I'm so excited. I can't wait to share my results with you all. Anyways I have to be at the hospital at 9am and my surgery is at 10am!!! Please pray for me!!(:

Updated on 5 Dec 2013:
Well I'm finally back home. Propped up in moms bed!(: in pain. And still drowsy! But instead of giving me a surgical bra they just wrapped it up in ace bandages! You can't see anything right now! :(

Updated on 5 Dec 2013:
Well girls right now the pain is awful. I've been sleeping so I wouldn't feel it and I just took my pain med muscle relaxer and my antibiotic. I've been trying to walk around some but I keep hunching my back up. Ugh just not relaxing right now

Updated on 6 Dec 2013:
I'm post op day 1. I can't really sleep. I'm in a lot of pain. This ace bandage is so tight that it's hard to move! The dr didn't even give me a surgical bra Incase I had to leave the house. I can't use my arms at all because when I try to use them to push myself up it puts a great amount of pressure and pain in my chest. I knew I would hurt some but this is a lot of pain to endure for quite sometime. As soon as I change my bandages and gauss I'll take some picture. I didn't have a hard time breathing when I woke up from surgery which is a good thing. The only bad thing is they had a hard time getting my vitals. It's only 5 something in the morning and it's just been awful. Last night I took everything I was supposed to and it really didn't help that much. And with this ace bandage on I can't even see if they are too small or too big. Well anyways I guess it's time to try and sleep.

Updated on 7 Dec 2013:
I changed my bandages today and took a picture. They are still riding really high but they look really good. My pain is still awful. I hope to kick it of town! Lol. Well here's the after results. Post op day 2!

Updated on 7 Dec 2013:
Well it's 2am and I haven't been sleeping well at all. The first 2 nights I was waking up at 2:22am and tonight I woke up at like 12:30am. Why is it so hard for me to sleep all through the night. I just took all my medicine and I'm hoping it kicks in soon and I can sleep through the rest of the night. This pain is awful. It's not even my breast it's my arms/armpits!! Just keep me in y'all's prayers!(: and thanks for all the support!

Updated on 9 Dec 2013:
I've been extremely sore lately and I've also been really swollen and kinda numb!!! Is the numbness normal at all or should I talk to my dr about it! I was also wondering how long it takes the implants to fully drop. I've noticed that they have slightly dropped but not enough for the eye to see!! And one more question... How long should the pain in my muscles last? If anyone could help me it's greatly appreciated!!

Updated on 10 Dec 2013:
Well ladies I'm finally home from my mothers. She really helped me. Anyways I had an awful case of the morning boob!! :( but other then that I'm feeling a lot better! I've got a dr appointment Friday and hopefully that's when they take the stitches out because the stitches are supper ichy!!

Updated on 12 Dec 2013:
Well today hasn't been that good. In a lot of pain but I go to see the dr tomorrow! Hopefully getting the stitches out.. Well anyways I can ly on my side but still uncomfortable! I can lay on my stomach but also uncomfy!! And I have HORRIBLE morning boob!! Been able to do a lot more with my arms and everything but still can't lift over 10lbs!! Well here are a few pics from last night..

Updated on 13 Dec 2013:
Well today has been really good! No pain. Went to the dr today and they cut the stitches and gave me steri-strips! Yay. I'm healing like I'm supposed to. I'm so happy. The only time I ever have discomfort is in the mornings when I wake up from sleeping on my back but other then that no pain. I'm so pleased with the way everything looks! I'm happy happy happy!!! Can't wait to see the final product!!!

Updated on 31 Dec 2013:
Well I know I haven't been on in a few weeks but everything's been going very well.
