David Hayes, MD

I've always had a genetically thick neck. So two years ago I received liposuction on my neck and jowls which left me with sagging skin. I found myself avoiding eye contact with people and I stopped flirting with my husband. Basically stopped going out unless it was absolutely necessary. I was in a funk.And fixing my loose skin was going to hopefully return me back to my former happy outgoing self. I got a quote from the same doctor that did my first procedure. Applied for care credit, put 25 percent down and scheduled the appointment. Updated on 26 Nov 2021: I'm not sure why I've read so many posts about the procedure not being painful, because it it. Ouch! The swelling is completely normal but extremely intense. My incision sites were hot, hard and tight. I thought my suture might burst. But it slowly beginning to go down on day four. I'm slowly getting a glimpse of what is yet to come. No more double chin. Updated on 28 Nov 2021: Wow, what a week. My Lord, when they tell you to clear your schedule and plan on resting for the week. They mean it. It's been a rollercoaster week emotionally and physically. My surgeon wife who's an RN and reeks of knowledge and experience did my prop consult. I remember her saying "for some reason people always call on the third day with all the panic over the swelling". To tell you the truth that's the day you will look the most like Yoda, but that's normal". I kept that in mind this past week and it's gotten me through the doubts of if I did the right thing, and I can already see the results. The hardest is over. But I still have months of healing left before I see the optimal results. Updated on 19 Dec 2021: Wow almost four weeks post op and I could t be more pleased with my results. I feel like my old self! I feel like I have a second chance at life. I no longer feel self conscious. I no longer avoid eye contact. I feel beautiful. Updated on 23 Aug 2023: I can't stress enough if you're thinking about whether you should do it or not, to just go for it. I had truly lost my mojo I was feeling older than I was now I am happier than I've ever been more satisfied with my looks than I've ever been and feeling beautiful at 50. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure and find a well-researched board certified surgeon. I feel like mine was a true miracle worker and was willing to work on me with a BMI over 30. Which was hard to find.

I started about 10 years ago with Botox and my provider switched me over to Dysport. I've very happy with the product and because I have maintained consistent applications my visits are about 4 to 5 months apart. The cost is very reasonable, I've never had any bad reaction and I like the way my face looks!

Love my Results...….He and His Staff are outstanding......I am so happy with my Facelift and Neck Lift...….will always use him for any future Fillers, Botox...…Whenever you go to his office his staff are caring and friendly couldn't ask for better...

Dr. Hayes did an excellent job with my procedure. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and are able to describe the entire process in terms that are easy for anybody to understand. They were excellent with the follow up, and genuinely care about each of their patients. I would highly recommend him and his office to anybody.

Dr Hayes and his staff were outstanding! They are extremely professional and at the same time very personable and supportive. The procedure was explained at length, the video helped immensely in the preparation, and all my questions were answered thoroughly. Dr Hayes limits his practice to head and neck so I was confident in his expertise, and I could not be more satisfied. I had a lower face lift and the results are exactly what I hoped for - younger looking but completely natural. The procedure was not painful for me and the recovery was very quick, as I followed the pre and post op instructions strictly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Excellent! The staff is very kind, comforting, and knowledgeable in every aspect. From the consultation to the post op checkups and any questions in-between. Dr. Hayes is so amazing. I didn't want to look drastically different or fake. I just wanted to look naturally younger. He assured me he would not go overboard and he did just that. I am so happy with my new face! Everyone tells me how great I look and they can't even tell what I had done. I love that!

Absolutely wonderful team. Dr Hayes and his team answered my questions and helped me determine what I wanted. They were attentive and professional. PreOP instructions were great! Follow what they recommend and you will have very little discomfort. Follow up was good. I now enjoy looking at myself in the mirror.

Dr. Hayes and his staff were very attentive and informative. They repeatedly (in consult, pre-op, and the day of surgery) reviewed the steps of my procedure so I was sure to understand and given plenty of opportunity to ask questions. There were multiple post-op visits, which was very comforting to me. I am happy with his recommendations and the results.

I lost 32lbs hoping my double chin would go away, but it didn't budge. It's not terrible, but it still bothers me. I'm a healthy weight now, I take great care of my skin & I don't want my chin aging me. My jaw wasn't defined & I was carrying some fat under the chin as well. I had my chin lipo procedure done yesterday. It was done in office, I was given a prescription to keep me calm & my chin was numbed with lidocaine injections. The procedure only took 30 minutes. I was given a compression garment to wear for the next 5 days, then I will sleep in it for the next two weeks. Pain wise, I'm doing fine. I haven't taken any pain pills. It hurts if I touch my neck, so I'm just leaving it alone. I don't seem to have any bruising yet, but it's only day two. I can definitely tell that my neck is swollen. I'll keep making progress reports as I heal. Updated on 12 Oct 2017: It's now Thursday and I had my chin lipo Tues morning. Still no bruising, just swollen & sore to the touch. Nothing that needs pain medicine. I'm sleeping propped up and that's getting annoying, but I know it helps with the swelling. Updated on 14 Oct 2017: It's now Saturday. My lipo was done on Tuesday. I've got light yellowish green bruising showing up, nothing bad at all. I was expecting pretty major bruising because my skin is sensitive, I bruise & swell easily, so I'm very pleasantly surprised. I've worn my compression wrap non-stop except for short breaks. Sometimes it starts to bug me & I've just got to take it off for a few minutes. My neck feels odd, a bit numb yet tender. I'm already noticing results even though I'm still definitely swollen. Updated on 17 Oct 2017: It's been one week. I didn't wear my compression band much yesterday until the evening, and I can see a lot more swelling. It looks like I have a double chin again, but I'm assuming it's temporary. Still some tenderness, some weird numbness. Updated on 20 Oct 2017: Bruising is completely gone. Swelling was way down this morning, but flared up again by evening. I can't stretch my neck very far or bend my head backwards, it feels very odd. Still tender, I can feel some lumps. I'm not worried about any of it & I can definitely see improvement already. Completely sick of wearing this compression band. Updated on 27 Oct 2017: Things are going great ! Still some swelling and a little tenderness, my physician said that can last for several more weeks. I'm not even three weeks out and I can see such a big difference. I can't wait until all the swelling is gone. I did have a hard lumpy area, I started gently massaging it with lotion two days ago and it's much better already. Updated on 1 Nov 2017: I'm healing really well. I've still got a tiny bit of tenderness under my chin, a little swelling, but it looks great. I'm so pleased ! Updated on 12 Mar 2019: I stopped in and let Dr. Hayes and his staff see my results (it’s a three hour drive for me) and they took after photos. Here’s a comparison so you can see my results side by side. Sorry the lighting is a bit off but you can still see a HUGE difference. Best thing I ever did for myself !

Amazing. Despite my fears about having my nose broken and being somewhat awake, surgery itself was PLEASANT as was the recovery!! I did not need a single painkiller (narcotic, Tylenol, or otherwise) and my swelling went down rapidly as did the MINIMAL bruising under my eyes (I expected a lot worse). On top of it all, I was already breathing better 24 hours after surgery than I had been before. Two weeks out and cosmetic results are also visible. I highly recommend.
