Fred Thompson, MD (retired)

I highly recommend Dr. Thompson. I am 63 years old and had silicone implants removed;( turns out that one was ruptured). Dr. Thompson was kind, and explained everything thoroughly. He took his time and was friendly and personable. His surgery suite is accredited and located in the lower level of his office, which made it very easy to drop off and pick up. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and personalized attention. Everything went smoothly, the price was reasonable and I am very pleased with the results (minimal pain and looks great).

Had a full breast lift with him and my results are amazing. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I thought he was great, not as outgoing as other surgeons I consulted with but his skill set is all that matters. Don't get caught up with surgeons in high dollar areas. They're not any better.

I consulted with several doctors in the area for my procedure and felt the most comfortable with Dr Thompson. He seemed more knowledgeable and professional than the others. His before and after pics also reflected a more ideal result for what I had in mind. FYI: He has more and better "before and after" pictures in his office than what is posted on his website. I had a mini tummy tuck with lipo. The surgery went well and I was more please with the results than I had expected to be.

Had breast lift/implant and tummy tuck in 2009, had great results. I ended up with 36 DDD breasts, which I am happy with. Over the years I have gained and lost weight, and now I'm going in for liposuction and a lift of the pubic mons. That is one area I have always felt a little self conscious about. So very excited to have this done and hopefully look great for summer! Updated on 25 Jan 2016: Updated on 14 Feb 2016: So, I am 2 days post op now from lipo of my abdomen, flanks, back and inner thighs, along with a lift of the pubic mons. My incision is much larger than I anticipated, but I already had a tt scar. He said he had to extend the incision to make it look right. Fine with me. I had some serious pain the day of surgery and yesterday. Today is painful, but getting a little better. I'm going to try and work tommorow for awhile.

I had my first BA by choice in February 2000. I was 36yrs. old, at 5'8, in a size 8. I went in a 36B came out a 36D, had asked for a C-cup. I looked stacked. My mentor smooth round saline implants were place sub-pectoral, (under muscle). They looked picture perfect after they settled. It felt like I was hit by a Lincoln doing 40 mph & lived through it! It hurt like a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10! The first couple of showers felt like I was a patient in a burn-unit! Those poor boobs felt like someone had taken a thick wet washcloth & had scrubbed them raw with ajax instead of soap. Each day that passed I would wonder if my breast meat wasgoing to split wide open? Finally after about 3 weeks they started to start to calm down. I had to sleep sitting up in a lazy boy for three months for I couldn't lie down due to pressure type raw pain. I slowly got to lay flat on my back at about 9 months. Four years & four months later I went to shower for work & was mortified by the shock of seeing my left breast 100% deflated looking back at me in the mirror. Let me say I didn't even know it till I had seen it. It didn't hurt, it didn't make me sick, thank GOD. So I phoned Dr. Thompson's office & was back under the knife three (unplanned surgery) days later. That was May of 2004. Doctor replaced both implants with mentor smooth saline into original pockets. Fast forward to 2010 I noticed implants were harder & felt not like a part of me, they felt uncomfortable & fake! (Because they're FAKE) LOL. I got to having this saying," I don't care if they tape my nipples to my ass cheeks as long as I'm healthy!" I said that for at least 3 plus years! Well shopped the docs & boy was that a ride! I had a $50.00 consultation with a woman PS whom said, " I can remove those(implants) right here in the office for another $750.00, for a total of $800.00." She said, she would cut an incision under breast (original scar) puncture implant, pull it out sew it up" WTF!? Next man PS acted real personable looked at breasts, took photos, ordered several tests (at my expense) EKG, complete blood draw up, & a order for a mammogram. Set a surgery date April 18th 2013. This yahoo calls me & says he's not doing the surgery no money had been exchanged yet. I asked why not? He just said that's it & hung up on me. WTF!? I went & picked up my two of the three tests I had took the time to go get, paid for drove to & from to. When I got there the girl behind the front desk say's if you were to talk to him maybe he would change his mind. I told her no thanks I wouldn't ever consider his services for how he treats his patients. His price quote before the berserk behavior $3280.00 without capsulectomy, or post surgery bra! (I was to supply it) His office had put together a 20 page instructions & information packet that was bound even with my name, the procedure, price quote, phone #'s. Like I said berserk!? So back to the original surgeon. I had went to Dr. Thompson actually before the other two PS's & Dr. Thompson asked, "What will your husband think of those being a smaller size?" WTF!? What a turn off,13 years ago I was not even married to my husband & had paid MY cash for that surgery! It had me going around town wasting my time on two idiot doctors whom I'd not recommend! That did'nt even count about four or five other phone calls to PS's offices who didn't do explanations. I even emailed the doctor whom wrote the book, "The naked truth about breast implants" Dr. Susan Kolb in Atlanta, GA! That quote was $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 not counting airfare or accommodations! Too much $! So back to Dr. Thompson. The last time I saw him was at a consult for a price on explantatian & a capsolectomy. He made the statement that a capsulectomy was a bloody surgery. I said aren't most surgery bloody. He asked," Who told you you needed a capsulectomy?" I said I wasn't there to argue with him either he could do the surgery or not. He said, Laura will give you a quote. Got the quote from his front desk.Went home called & said give me a date for surgery. I arrived at 11:30A& was under before noon & out the door by 2:20P! Never saw the doctor himself, but the surgical bra was included! And I kept those damn implants they sent me home with a darling lil lands end bucket tote with post-op paper implants & extra gause. I have a aftercare appointment next Thursday April 9th. Wonder if the doctor is coming to that appointment himself? Updated on 3 May 2013: Aftercare appt. correction date May 9th, not April 9th.LOL meds... Updated on 23 May 2013: I arrived on time for my noon appointment, the husband drove. I was seen by the surgeons nurse whom is also his wife. Her name is Mary she's quite nice, very sweet lady she looked everything over & removed the stitches. The right side had me yelp out loud but it was a quick short lived pain kinda like pulling off a big band-aid.! Next the left it was less of a noise, like a small band-aid. She told me to put aquaphor on with a 3 by 3 under breast for further healing & to promote less friction & less scar. I had one spot of a small open wound ( like a cigerette burn for a visual) she said if that wasn't healing in a week to come back. I left feeling good about the appointment. Updated on 25 May 2013: Well on May 21st went back to be seen by Dr. Thompson. This was the most talkative he's ever been. I really liked the more interaction. I have been dealing with a small under left breast open sore. Like I said before almost like a cigerette burn size directly under breast dead center. Of course the most inconvenient place that thing could reside! Right wear the breast touches the point of being skin on skin w/o a bra. And right at the most friction point where the cup meets the band, ugh! So I was prescribed a RX of mupirocin ointment 2% apply 2-3 times a day. If no improvement in three weeks come back in. Other wise I don't have to go back till June appointment. Stay wearing compression bra until instructed otherwise. I'm doing pretty good I think for the time it's been since surgery other than that damn small wound! No one wants an open wound. The chance of a secondary infection is not off the table. So I'm having to be quite mindful of dressing changes, washed hands, always a fresh wash cloth, towel, bra, well its getting old. I'm really ready to be able to take a bubble bath or use our hot tub. Plus I'm tired of stressing out over a possible infection! The doctor also said no bicicle, weight lifting, or running for at least 8 weeks maybe more like 10 weeks... that's half the summer:( I want to thank all of the precious ladies whom have been on this site. Angels you are. It's made this crazy ride less bumpy:-)

I had lipo of the neck three years ago. Due to genetics I have a weak jaw and chin so I had a "double chin".Unfortunatly there is an indentation under my chin that makes the jowl area on the right side of my face look very pronounced. I am extremly self conscience about this and when I asked the doctor about this he said nothing could be done.Overall the neck lipo did improve the "double chin" and I do have a neck line. I'm just not crazy about the indentation it left under my chin!Is there a filler that can be put in the indentation or maybe a neck lift can be done to elimanate the look of heavy jowls? I'm 38 years old and am healthy with fairly decent elasticity in my skin.

I had great boobs before having kids, but with each of my babies they became more deflated. My husband wasn't on board with ba until a few months ago. I currently wear a 32D and I don't have a size in mind I just want to have full breasts. I'm going with high profile silicones with 525cc in my right and 500cc in my left. I'm very anxious and nervous!!! Will post pics soon. Updated on 22 Mar 2016: I have started to feel guilty about spending so much money on myself. I guess because I know there are things we could fix around the house and/or putting it in savings for kids or an emergency. Blah!!! It's no fun to be an adult sometimes!!
