Gregory T. Lynam, MD

I'm currently on POD#4 after my bilateral breast augmentation with Dr. Lynam, and everything is progressing smoothly! I’m beyond excited about my new body. While my breasts are still sitting high and wide (I went under the muscle), I’m confident they’ll settle beautifully as they drop and fluff. The pain has been very manageable—mostly just a feeling of tightness in my chest. I’m eager to return to my normal routine, but I’m trying to be patient and not overdo it. I’ll try to update this review as I continue to heal.

My Journey:
I’ve been a lifelong member of the itty bitty titty committee and spent years trying to embrace my body while also wishing for a more feminine silhouette. After wearing push-up bras and inserts for what felt like forever, I finally decided it was time to either fully accept my flatness or take action.

I discovered Dr. Lynam while searching for a surgeon nearby and was immediately drawn to the natural results in his work. Scheduling a consult was easy, and I appreciated how much time he took to help me choose the right size and go over measurements. His bedside manner is fantastic and I never felt pressured in any way. After sending photos of my goals, he had a great idea of what I was going for.

Initially, I was set on the transaxillary approach to avoid visible scars, but after some soul-searching (and way too much internet research), I realized the inframammary approach made more sense—especially as a yogi, since my armpits are often exposed more than my under-bust. I reached out to the office to discuss the change, and they were incredibly responsive, even scheduling a follow-up call that same week.

Choosing a size was another challenge! I wanted a natural look that suited my petite frame but was also wary of going too small and regretting it later (boob greed is real!). I sent multiple emails to Lauren, the patient care coordinator, full of size anxiety, and she was amazing throughout the process. In the end, I chose Motiva Demi Ergonomix 285cc under the muscle. Right now, they feel a bit big, but I started with almost nothing, so I’m confident they’ll look just right once they settle in and I get used to the new look.

If you’re like me and have spent years stalking plastic surgery websites, unsure whether to commit—just go for it. Life is short, and people will have opinions no matter what you do. Prioritize your happiness.

I can’t believe how quickly the past two weeks have flown by! Healing has been much easier than I expected. My breasts are starting to drop and soften nicely. I haven't needed any pain medication since day three, and the incisions already look fantastic. I’m incredibly impressed with Dr. Lynam — he’s so meticulous, exactly what you want in a plastic surgeon. My breasts are very symmetrical, and I didn’t have a single bruise on or under them. At my one-week follow-up, Dr. Lynam was reassuring, and I really appreciate his evidence-based approach to post-op care. I've mostly just been able to go about my life with only minor modifications. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far!

First of all, Dr. Lynam is an exception doctor. Most surgeons do not have a good bed side manner, he really does. He really does care. I had my implants taken out and a lift. Now, I am 57 years old, and I had some complications with one breast with the stitches. He went above and beyond to help me. The staff was so good. The complication was not from him, it from my own body. He could not have been more helpful and kind. It all resolved with his help, and I look better than I have in years. I feel healthier also. This was the best decision I have ever made. I have recommended him to many of my friends who want to do the same thing. Thank you so much for your compassion, Dr. Lynam. You are so awesome! There are no words to thank you and your staff. I could say so much more, but there is no room. Just I am so happy someone recommended you to me!

Dr.Lynam has exceeded my expectations. He is top notch and I won’t recommend anyone else. He made sure that what I wanted was going to be a safe procedure and he even called after surgery to check on me. He’s the best, takes his time and actually cares about his patients.

Amazing he changed my life. I lost 75 pounds and I had Dr Lynam do my mommy makeover and I have never been happier. The surgery went great and my recovery seemed fast. Dr Lynam made me look like I had been feeling......Great.  I would recommend him and this Procedure to anyone. My life is changed forever. I have a Confidence back that I don't even remember having I'm sooooo happy.

Feeling great scars are smoother and lighter. I'm back to pretty much full workout push-ups are still a little rough but other then that I feel sooo great never been happier. I'm so glad that I had this done it is life changing. My tummy is still numb wondering when I will have all of my feeling back. But other then that I'm super duper happy could not be happier with my results.

Dr. Lynam is an excellent Plastic Surgeon who is always extremely thorough, compassionate, and understanding. Admittedly, I haven't always been the easiest patient. I often long for the days when my life was simpler, but even if I've been a considerable pain, he has never made me feel like a problem patient. Dr. Lynam has the incredible ability to make me feel deeply understood and to communicate complex medical information in a way that is easy to comprehend. He takes the time to listen to my concerns, asks questions about my medical history, and appears to genuinely care about my well-being. This level of attentiveness, patience, and empathy sets him apart from so many I've encountered in the medical community. One of the things that has impressed me the most is his unwavering commitment to holistic healthcare. Dr. Lynam doesn't just treat my immediate symptoms; we've discussed lifestyle changes, preventative measures, and overall wellness strategies to ensure I can maintain good health in the long run. His proactive approach to healthcare is refreshing and empowering. I can not thank Dr. Lynam enough for the great care he has consistently provided. He is the king of wellness and aesthetics. Book a consultation with him and you won't be disappointed!

After years of wearing breast implants I decided to get my implants removed and get a breast lift. I searched all over Richmond for a qualified doctor with extensive experience performing this procedure, and I’m so happy I found Dr Lynam. He did an excellent job!
after almost a year of performing my procedure my breast look healthy, lifted, natural, and even full.

He listened to my concerns and goals without pushing or suggesting other procedures as another local doctor did. His bed side manner is also impecable and his office staff and nurses are very kind and friendly. Dr Lynam even called me after my procedure to make sure I was doing okay which was a nice gesture showing he cares
about his patients. If you are looking to get a breast lift or your implants explanted Dr.Lynam is your guy!

Dr. Lynam and his entire team exceeded all of my expectations when it came to my breast augmentation. We “tried on” different sizes at the consultation and came up with the right size for me. I am 135 lbs, originally a 34A and breastfed two children. We decided to go with 330cc silicone implants that brought me up to a 36C, sometimes D depending on the bra. I really liked that every step of the way, Dr Lynam and his team were informative and answered all of my questions. Recovery was a breeze knowing exactly what to expect! I am so incredibly happy with my aftercare, my results, and even my incisions. I drove 3 hours each way to see Dr. Lynam and I’d drive even further for results like mine! Thank you times a million!!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Dr. Lynam and his staff are top notch. Their bedside manner was amazing and I never felt like just another patient. They made me feel heard and validated and really made this entire experience a breeze. Dr. Lynam was personable and comforting and really went out of his way to make me feel confident. I would recommend them for any procedure!

From the beginning, my experience with Dr. Lynam and his staff was amazing. From my first phone call speaking with Alexis. She was incredibly helpful and patient with all of my questions. The first time I met Dr. Lynam I was pleasantly surprised how down to earth caring and honest he was with me. Lauren his nurse. She was amazing. very helpful very patient and she went out of her way to make me more at ease and comfortable The day of surgery Dr. Lynam’ once again, put me at ease and comfortable. once my surgery was done. I was incredibly pleased with the results. the surgery center staff all made me feel comfortable. I felt better than I ever thought possible after my surgery. Dr. Lynam followed up that evening to make sure I was doing well , I must say it’s the best experience I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend Dr. Lynam and his staff to anyone seeking a great plastic surgeon that is caring and honest

Dr. Lynam & staff are amazing! He made me comfortable & answered all my questions about my breast augmentation from the consult all the way through the follow up process. I am beyond happy with my results!
