Gregory C. Gaines, MD

I met wit Dr. Gaines for a consultation for a tummy tuck. I has 45 questions. Dr. Gaines took the time to answer each question with patience; elaborating explanation . I did not feel rushed. I was super comfortable and satisfied with my consultation experience with Dr. Gaines.

I have always been unhappy with the placement of my naturally saggy breasts. I’m 31, female, no children. I’m one day post-op but already feel this was very worth it. I also had lipo of my upper arms done.

Honestly, the recovery has been much easier than expected. The worst part is the itchiness! The incision lines have been so itchy while healing, especially with the tape on them. Benadryl has helped with that a bit, especially at night.
I was concerned about the "t" spot with the incision lines meet on Friday and the office was very responsive. I sent in photos for the nurse to take a look at, she assured me there was no cause for concern, and advised I should clean with Betadine and continue to keep dry.
I'm a little nervous about the scarring as it's looking pretty gnarly at this point, but I'll hope for the best and keep doing what I can.
I'm getting sutures out from my arms and the surgery tape removed tomorrow, I will update with pics.
Overall, still really happy with my girls :)

This Team is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I felt so comfortable and welcomed! They took care of my every need! I would recommend to friends and family! I am absolutely IN LOVE with the work Dr. Gaines and his team did! Thank you so much!

I recently got my breast augmentation done at Gainse in Gainesville fl! The staff and everyone was absolutely amazing. They made me feel very welcome! Even during the COVID crisis. They were very attentive and on top of everything. I still continued to get the best care in a safe facility. Not to mention my results are absolutely amazing!

I had a really bad asymmetric breast. My left was significantly smaller than my right. Dr. Gainse was very on point and accurate when picking my sizing! I could not be happier. They are both symmetrical and the size is amazing.

I will continue to get my procedures done with Dr. Gaines and his amazing staff. I would highly recommend to everyone even friends and family. I will happily be continuing my cosmetic needs with Dr. Gainse. Much love!

I had a easy healing experience! But my most frequently asked question is SIZE. This is a hard question. Because it depends on your body structure and what you have currently and what your goal is. However I had pretty bad asymmetric breast. My left was higher and smaller than the other. Before breast augmentation I was an A-B on my left breast and a B-C on my right. So I showed Dr. Gainse what I wanted and he selected the size perfectly. So for my left I got 520 cc And my right I got 450cc. Medium profile round gummy bear implants. But like I said it all depends on what your goal is. And I am currently sitting at a 34 DD .
I am 5”5 and 130lbs. Also a little about the healing process when you have asymmetric breast. My left breast did not fall at the same rate as my right did. I was instructed to massage it to get it equal with the other because of my asymmetry. But not long after they are perfect! Just trust the healing process, your breast will look significantly different from when you first get them done until they are healed.

He saved my life lol seriously I couldn’t thank him enough. I hate shirts now lol. He was very patient explained everything to me. I recommend him 1000% because he is ver skilled and knowledgeable. I didn’t get any infections

I've researched many drs. near me looked at photos and reviews and decided that I wanted to do a consult with Dr. Gaines in Gainesville, Fl. I figured I would have to do a couple of consults with different drs. But decided to start with him since he had such good reviews and photos. My husband came with me and was there every step of the way. We both felt Dr. Gaines was awesome!

The atmosphere of his office was perfect and his staff was more than expected! He spent so much time with us explaining things and listening to our concerns that we had made an appointment to do the mommy makeover before we left. I had my surgery on 1/29/2020 and really haven't had much to complain about except for boredom! I used the pain pills prescribed by the Dr. for the first few days then cut them in half for a day and I am currently taking Tylenol just in case.

The only thing that really hurt so far through the whole process is my back from having to be bent over for so long. We were given phone numbers for Dr. Gaines if we needed him 24/7. His bedside manner is the best and he truly cares about his patients. It's only been 5 days since surgery and I am still very puffy but I know I will start to see results really soon.

It's been a long week of being house bound when your a person that likes to be outside. I still have my drains in but am expecting to get them out by the end of the week, fingers crossed! I read so many posts on here that have been so helpful and just wanted to let you know some of the things that helped me....
#1....I found out colace is my best friend, I was so nervous about going number 2 and the pain that would come with it. Take the colace, that's all I can say. Lol
#2..... sucks not sleeping in my own bed but I made the recliner so comfy that it's actually not that bad. I put a foam egg crate pad down, covered it with a twin sheet and have a body pillow on each side of me, a regular pillow under my legs and one on my belly. See photo...
#3..... your mind does start playing with you. I've read where people have their moments of why did I do this, well mine came yesterday, only because I've been cooped up so long. My pain has been minimal and I am starting to see swelling go down. So that has made me see the light and realize it's only one moment for something that will make me happy in the long run.
I will post more pics after getting my shower tonight. Hang in there, you've got this!!

Starting to see results, still a little puffy but heading in the right direction! Finally got the last drain out a day ago and that made me feel a whole lot better not having to worry about that hanging on me. They also removed all remaining stitches. I'm still itching like crazy but that's just the healing process.

It's been 4 weeks since my tt, bl and monsplasty. I still have a little swelling in certain areas but it is looking really good! All stitches are out and my next follow up is at my 6 week. Still have to wear both binders all day and night but I do allow myself time to breath in the morning after my shower then again for awhile at night before bed. I still have the tape over my scars and retype as needed when they pull up. They look like they are healing very good! Tje only pain I have is it being tender to the touch on each side of my breasts but that's only when it is bumped or touched hard. Other than that all is good. I havent taken any tylenol in about a week. I will update at my 6 week check up.

It's been over 5 months and I am feeling great! If you are considering doing this, I say go for it! Im so glad I did. Going in for my 6 month appointment in july and they will do the after pics. Ill share when I see them.

I am 2 weeks out from surgery and extremely happy! Dr Gaines did a fabulous job - I highly recommend. I have had a little bruising but given I’m 68 and have fair skin I expected it. It is going away quickly

It's been a little over a year since I had the tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Gaines. I love my front profile now, and how my stomach appears nice and flat! It makes such a huge difference now - and I'm not self conscious in tight clothes. I had my procedure done on a Wednesday and went back to work the next Monday - I moved a little slower that first week or so, but quickly got back to my normal routine. So, not too much downtime at all! Dr. Gaines and his team did a fantastic job and were very supportive. I wish I hadn't waited so long to have this procedure.

Incredible experience from the first consult visit, surgery, and after care. Always feel like I am a VIP. From the first encounter I knew that I was safe and in good hands. Dr. Gaines delivered beyond my expectations.

The care I received prior to, during, and after my lip injections were incredible. I traveled all the way from Orlando to see Dr. Gaines and his staff and he did not disappoint. He was very thorough and detail oriented when tending to my needs, concerns, and questions. I am extremely happy with my results and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I am elated I chose to see Dr. Gaines and will continue to travel to him from now on. HIGHLY recommend!!

Dr. Gaines is wonderful!!! My uncle was a doctor, & I have never experienced someone as great as he was, until Dr. Gaines. He has a heart of gold & makes you feel like he has time for you. He explains procedures thoroughly & answers any questions. I am very happy with my procedure & would recommend him highly!
