Derek J. Shadid, MD

I went in for a breast implant removal and lift in Feb 2024. I was very nervous to have my implants taken out after having them for 26 years. I was afraid of surgery and how bad I might look after having them so long & being older.

Well, after a lot of researching I decided on Dr. Derek Shadid and let me tell you, he and his staff are every bit of AWESOME that the reviews and others say he/they are. He’s a perfectionist and he worked miracles on me. I love how I look and I am so happy I had my implants removed. He is very organized and efficient. I also had access to his personal cell during my healing and was able to call at anytime of night or day. He and his staff are quick to return calls. In my opinion, he & his staff are truly the BEST!

Dr. Shadid did a fantastic job on my procedures! I had an upper blepheroplasty and breast lift at the same time. I was shocked at how awesome my experience was.
First of all, I went in thinking I wanted a lift and implants, but after my consultation, I changed my mind and decided on only the lift. Everyone in the office was so kind about it,. They had to change my treatment plan, change my OR time, and redo the money stuff, but no one made me feel bad about it at all. They were incredibly accommodating.
Second, Dr. Shadid and the whole nursing staff were awesome. Before you even go in for the procedure, they give you this book that is tailored to your specific surgery. It tells you what kind of bras to get, what kind of dressings you should have, how long you'll be down, how you'll feel from day to day - literally, it answers EVERY question you could ever have - before you have it! They had all of my follow-up appointments scheduled before I went in for the surgery. They made sure I had all of my pain medication prescriptions filled before my surgery. They had thought of every tiny detail in order to make my experience as painless and enjoyable as possible.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shadid, April, and all the women who work in the office. It was a fabulous experience, and I am already planning my next procedure!
And finally, the results: fabulous!!! I was shocked at how wonderful they were! I also did a liquid facelift and Morpheus with April Wilcox, who works in Shadid's office, and the combined results were stunning! They far exceeded my expectations!
Oh! And the scars!!! The scars are amazing! I would say the scars on my eyes were completely gone within two months! And the breast lift scars are already barely noticeable, and I'm barely six months out.

In a crazy, fast-paced world, Dr. Derek Shadid is a physician that not only hears but listens to your concerns. My journey began with a mastectomy almost four decades ago, four different sets of implants, and a litany of unexplained health issues throughout the years. After an MRI confirmed ruptures, and much research on breast implant illness, I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Shadid. My decision was easily made when he addressed all my concerns and symptoms. The staff was wonderful, shout out to Leila for all her hard work on the paperwork, explant surgery and recovery was smoother than expected. If you haven't finalized your decision, don't hesitate, Dr. Shadid and staff are absolutely amazing!

Dr. Shadid is an amazing surgeon and extremely personable as well as knowledgeable. He always treated me with respect, took his time, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I’m four months out from enbloc explant and lollipop lift. I would do it again in a heartbeat. When you choose Dr. Shadid, you are in the best hands!

Dr. Shadid did my "Mommy makeover". From the initial consult to the follow up appointments, Dr. Shadid and his staff were amazing! And my results are life changing. Prior to my surgery, I hit the gym six days a week but could never get back the body I had before having children. After my procedure, my body and my confidence has been restored. I am THRILLED with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Shadid's services.

I couldn't be happier with my whole experience with Dr. Shadid and his staff! I love that Dr. Shadid was very honest and had my best interest. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and not one single time did I feel rushed. His staff is just the sweetest and very knowledgeable. I had my tummy tuck done with Dr. Shadid in May, and in July I was beach ready for our family vacation. The last time I wore a bikini was way before having my babies (they are 7 and 9 yrs old now). I felt SO GOOD and wearing a bikini again. Thank you so much, Dr. Shadid and staff for giving me my confidence back!

Dr. Shadid is one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. He is truly remarkable! I’ve worked in Cardiology for 15 years and I have NEVER EVER met any doctor like him. He is down to earth and has exceptional bedside manner. He was very caring! He does not rush you in and out like other physicians. A great deal of time is spent with each patient both during the initial consultation as well as in preop and throughout all post op visits. During the initial consulation he answers any and all questions/concerns you may have. He explains things incredibly well and gives you his own personal opinion that you can 100% trust. He does not try to up sell you or pressure you into additional cosmetic procedures like others. He will flat out tell you don’t need it. I dare you to find a plastic surgeon that does that.......

He removed my breast implants and performed a lift leaving nearly no sign or scar. The only incision made was around my areola and thanks to his meticulous work it is literally unnoticeable. The first surgeon I met with wanted to perform an anchor lift after removal. I thank god for finding and meeting this very talented plastic surgeon. His staff is no different and will go above and beyond to make sure all is well. I knew from the first phone call I made with Abbie to set up a consultation that I made the right choice. His receptionist Abbie is also truly one of a kind. I always look forward to calling their office and hearing her friendly, caring voice. Leila his Surgery Coordinator is also amazing. Shadid Plastic Surgery Associates provides the most professional and personalized level of care possible that you will not find anywhere else guaranteed. His patient outcomes and results speak for themselves. The absolute best doctor ever, hands down!!!

On December 06, 2021, Dr. Derek Shadid explanted by breast implants. It was a journey that
began when I chose to correct my severe breast asymmetry in 2004 with silicone implants. Over the course of the next 17 years, my health began to fail, in my belief, due to the breast implants.

In 2018, I learned that some women were "getting their life back" by removing their implants in a procedure known as an enbloc capsulectomy. At that time, no one in my hometown was considered an expert in this type of removal. I found Dr. Derek Shadid's name on a website that discussed physicians who were considered skilled in this technique. I consulted with him then, and knew that if I ever made the decision to removed my implants, he would be my choice!

Dr. Shadid is a perfectionist. Seriously. He is all business when you're there for an appointment, but has a great bedside manner as well. He is also very funny, which I appreciate. He is truly a miracle worker. My new lifted breasts look beautiful!

I was a little nervous, thought I’d be intimidated by a “hoity toity” doctor but, he and his staff were not like that at all. They were knowledgeable and confident while being very kind each time I’ve seen them or spoken on the phone with them. I am now 7 1/2 weeks out after arm and breast lift. Healing very nicely. I highly recommend him. It takes a while to get in but very worth it.

Dec 28th, 2020 I had my breast implants removed and had a surgical breast lift with Dr. Shadid. I was suffering with Breast implant illness for 4 years and within two weeks of my implants removed I started feeling so much better. I am very pleased with my breast lift. Dr. Shadid's surgical skills are excellent and he is a great doctor and his office staff are professional, caring, and competent. I highly recommend Dr. Shadid and his team.
