Jack Peterson, MD

I became overweight as a young child through circumstances out of my control. I lost most of the weight at age 17. Now, at 35 years of age, I further lost weight to an ideal 155. Pursuing skin removal was something I did not know if I’d be able to do in my life or not.

I contacted Dr. Peterson’s office after scheduling some other consults. I have nothing bad to say about others, but I liked the vibe from Dr. Peterson and his office. They have treated me well and were always willing to answer any question. What was especially excellent was the speed of filling out any paperwork for LOA/disability leave. I used to work HR and had heard horror stories about getting paperwork done.

Post op, I had no complications. Follow up visits have been good. If you are looking for plastic surgery of this kind in the area or you want to travel to Kansas for it, I can give it a recommendation. I had an (ext) tummy tuck and minor chest augmentation.

The only advice I can give to anyone reading reviews on sites like this, is to do your own research, but never think you know more than the professionals. Ask as many questions as you need. Doctors are there to help, but they cannot read your mind. I did not have a lot of questions at times, but just be sure that you have thought things through and planned to the fullest.

Excellent surgeon and staff. Everything from risk, to the results i was expected to have, was explained in detail. My consult was booked quickly and surgery the following week. I couldn't be any happier with my results.

He was very informative on the procedure and would always answer any questions about it. The surgery went smoothly and there was no problems at all. Both him and his assistances were very caring. I was given very clear instructions on how to take care of the scars and was called to be checked up on regularly.

I had an extended abdominoplasty and breast augmentation done with Dr. Peterson in August and I am thrilled with my results this far. I'm two months out, and still have a lot of internal healing to do but this surgery has helped me have confidence in my body again after a 100+ lb weight loss left me with lots of sagging skin in my midsection. I made the decision to ask about breast augmentation shortly before my surgery was supposed to take place because along with the weight loss, breastfeeding had left my breasts extremely deflated and uneven. Mary was great about helping me decide on what size and type of breast implant was best for me. I was happy they were willing to do it in conjunction with my abdominoplasty. Every interaction I've had with Dr. Peterson and his amazing staff has been courteous and professional. I've left every appointment happy and confident in their knowledge and expertise. It's awesome that they come to Junction City once a month as well because it's saved me some gas going to see them for a few appointments. I highly reccomend Dr. Peterson and his staff for any and all procedures you may be considering.

Dr. Peterson and his staff are absolutely amazing. Since a young girl I struggled with having bigger breast. At the age of eighteen I wore a 36 triple D. I suffered with neck and back pain, indents in my shoulders, saggy breast, low self esteem and a prolific amount of other things. However, Dr. Peterson is truly a miracle worker. He was able to fix all of these problems. I never thought in a million years I would get at breast reduction at the age of eighteen but luckily I did. I have so much confidence in myself and most importantly I am pain free. I am two months into recovery and I look better than ever before. I now wear a 36 D and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Peterson and his staff have changed my life for the better and I am forever thankful. They were very caring and helpful during the entire process. They really care about the emotional and physical well-being of their patiences. Extremely nice and friendly ! If looking for any cosmetic procedures this is the place to go !

Today was my pre-op appointment! And I am so excited for surgery next week! I bumped up my CC a bit today and I am feeling confident it was a good choice! My current stats are 33 YO with LESS than A cup right now. Breast fed 3 kids and had Gastric bypass almost 2 years ago. With a loss of 125 pounds my girls REALLY SAD LOOKING! I am getting 355cc mentor high profile and I can’t wait! Surgery date is 5/9/19

I wish I could say how absolutely AMAZING my first shower was!! Haha but it wasn’t!!! I was terrified I was going to hurt myself . Washing my hair went fine BUT every time I tried to wash under my right armpit I would get the WORST zinger pain into my right boob. However the hot water did feel amazing on my back! I’m enjoying a bowl of oatmeal now and then probably going to nap! Love y’all

Updated on 20 May 2019:
Well y’all it’s been 11 days since surgery and to say I love my boobies would be and UNDERSTATEMENT! I am so incredibly happy I went through with it! I am healing extremely well! Last weekend was rough I’ve had some swelling in my belly and sides panicked a little so I went to see my surgeon. He assured me along with the amazing ladies in his office that what I was experiencing is 100% normal. My pain is almost gone in my boobies except for a few sharp pains here and there!!! I hope wherever you are in your journey you are in great spirts and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!!!!

Well I was going to wait until Friday at my1 month post op to give an update BUT I’ll do one now AND Friday! I have pretty much ZERO pain and the hypersensitivity is almost completely gone. Indonget a little tender here and there. Also I was given the go ahead to ditch the compression bra and wet a good sports bra! I went to Victoria Secret and was measured at a 34 D or DD ???????? they don’t feel or look that BIG but I choose to go with a DD cause the D felt like it was WAY to tight! To say I love them would be an absolute understatement! I didn’t have a lift done my Surgeon was confident that he would be able to achieve the look I wanted without a lift! Just as a reminder I went with Mentor Smooth high profile Xtra 355 cc in both! If y’all have any more question please don’t hesitate to ask!

Here are some pics of the girls covered up

Very knowledgeable about what he does. Dr Peterson is extremely talented and direct. Struggled with some nipple issues of my own making how ever I am pleased. Overall very satisfied with my breast reduction and I have an upcoming appointment for a tummy tuck consult.

I got my Implants removal on November 13. Peterson does surgery in the hospital. I had a very good experience. I would highly recommend. He staff were really friendly and nice. He is an excellent surgeon.

I am 37 years old. Mom of 2 and did not nurse. I am 5’9-5’10ish approx 128-132lbs and was a 36a/b depending on brand of bra. My surgery was Sept 6, 2018. I choose 590cc UHP silicon (mentor) and my doctor choose to do in-between the muscle. Idk what the term he used for it. I am searching for ‘like’ women on here for reassurance; I am concerned I went to big :// my skin is stretched to the max as this is the largest he said he could do. My biggest fear was waking up and regretting not going bigger. I wanted the biggest my body could proportionally handle!!! So far I am in love. They are HUGE. I’m badly bruised and my sternum is raised. I’m in a compression bra provided by my surgeon with strict instructions to wear 24/7 for two weeks along with the chest strap - for 2 weeks. I attached some pictures!

Wanted to post my wish boobies. I started searching for my perfect set 7 years ago and my taste has definitely changed. I was a lot more modest then than I am now. I want the fake look with the fullness D - DD’s give you. I don’t care ab wearing a bra as I will anyways bc braless isn’t my style or comfort.

I’m having mixed emotions over these ladies. One day I love them and have faith they are going to be ‘perfect’ and exactly what I wanted and then next day I feel like I made a huge mistake in the decision to go as big as I could. It takes serious guts to do what I did but my fear of boob envy or whatever it’s called (my husband pressured me a little in that bc he kept saying you better get this right the first time bc you’re not doing a revision just bc you want bigger) was greater than my fear of unforeseen issues bc of large implants. I also agreed with my husband as we have been saving forever for this procedure. So there wasn’t going to be another one. Too many of our close friends regretted not going bigger and are paying for another surgery. Sooooo I went BIG.
My Left is much bigger than my right - I have a rib that sticks out on my left side/cage which he prepared for knowing these were going to eventually drop below that rib and essentially be the same size as the other (no set of boobs are 100% I know that). And the raised (some call it tenting?) skin on my sternum is also a HUGE concern for me. But both my surgeon and research says it will go away with time and healing!!! I just naturally worry over everything. It’s my OCD. Anyways. Wanted to share my thought for today. And pics.

12 days PO. Wanted to share update!!! I am still VERY sore and they hurt horribly. Sleeping still sucks but my bruising is almost 100% gone. Morning boob is a real thing people. My doc doesn’t suggest massaging however I’ve done so much research on massaging and it sounds like it could really help with soreness and for them to drop and fluff a little faster. Idk. I’ll talk to him ab it again at my 2nd PO visit in three days. I’m in the in between mode where I love them but I hate them bc of the soreness and the sleepless nights. Looking forward to sleeping on my side again. Or at least on half side - I’m not a back sleeper. Or tummy. Just side. I know I know - time. Time is cure all. Anyways —— just wanted to give an update.

Wanted to share a comparison picture. I have not looked at any pictures of myself pre BA and I was honestly shocked. It definitely helps with my confidence through my recovery bc so far it hasn’t been easy. Two weeks down....

Updated on 27 Sep 2018:
Wanted to share a quick update. I am 3 weeks PO to the day. Still very sore and morning boob is a very REAL THING! But I am in love and VERY happy with them!!!! Best thing I have ever did for myself!!!!

Right now everything is perfect. Working on scar treatment with a silicone glaze they gave me for twice a day. Not really sure ive noticed a difference in the scaring since I started using it a few weeks ago but that’s not really been my main concern at this time. I’m 100% happy with them and have zero regrets. Definitely no boob envy going on here. 590 UHP mentor, surgery date Sept 6, 2018! I was a negative A before. After surgery and at 12 w PO I measured at 34DD. Some bras at VS are 34DDD.

I’ve been with Dr. Peterson since 2013. He’s been amazing so when I was ready to add my finishing touches it was a no brainer who I was going to choose.
I finally went with 400cc medium high profile. Not sure what it looks like because I need to said 48hrs to look. I have no doubt in my mind that they will be great.
Pain isn’t too bad but I’ve been extremely nauseous since surgery. I’ve been eating crackers and bread to help and have been sleepless most of the night.
Excited to see what’s under all these bandages. I also has light liposuction to my upper abdominal where I was uncomfortable with. I had prior liposuction done in September and this was the only section I wasn’t happy with. Dr. Peterson was more then willing to do his best and get it fixed.
The staff and Dr. Peterson were beyond willing to help me and ensure that I stay happy during all of this. From prior surgeries to this current one. I can’t wait to continuing this update!

Omg ???? today I finally was able to shower a see what the girls were looking like & can we just say amazing! I’m so in love I started crying. I can’t wait to see what I will look like once things settle. I have my one week check up on the 22nd & really can’t wait to see what I’m like.

I’ve been on my meds every 4 hours like clock work so i feel no pain what’s so ever. First night was hard but I figured out a way to sleep on my back. I’m able to move my arms and I’ve been walking so that I don’t get blood clots. I’ve been massaging my boobs and it’s been helping the soreness and tenderness. I have to start massaging the inside because they are bruised badly and I can feel fluids in them. I’m draining a lot but nothing bad.

I’m so happy I really can’t wait to see what I’ll look like in a few days.
