Dr. Thayer and his team go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, answer questions you have and never make you feel rushed or pressured. It's been three months since my surgery and I love my results!! Thank you for having the amazing team who worked with me and for the outstanding care you've provided.
Amazing! Dr. Thayer is so kind, personable and truly cares about getting you to where you want to be. He spent so much time explaining which implant he felt would fit my body the best based on measurements he took, and what profile to use for what I was looking for.
I am beyond happy that I chose Dr. Thayer to perform my breast lift and tummy tuck surgery. After two c-section babies, I was left with asymmetrical breasts and a saggy lower belly. Now, at 4 weeks post op, I have a flat, tight belly and even breasts. My life has already improved so much with newfound confidence in myself! Dr. Thayer and his staff are thorough, personable, and very knowledgeable. Any questions or concerns I had were always answered promptly. I highly recommend Dr. Thayer to anyone who is looking to have a cosmetic procedure.
I could not have been more impressed and grateful. Dr. Thayer immediately conveyed his expertise and caring. I felt confidence in him and his ability to achieve the results I was hoping for. His manner and sincere approach were appreciated. Dr. Thayer's staff are all excellent and impressive also.
I underwent a tummy tuck with liposuction 360 performed by Dr. Thayer, and I couldn't be happier with my experience and results. As a busy mom of three, I had been struggling with a stubborn "mom pouch" in my lower abdomen—caused by both fat and abdominal muscle separation from pregnancy. No matter how much I exercised or watched my diet, that area just wouldn't budge. From my very first consultation, I knew Dr. Thayer was the right surgeon for me. He took the time to truly listen to my concerns and goals, and his calm, reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. He explained the entire process thoroughly—from what the surgery would entail to what kind of results I could realistically expect. I appreciated that he made it clear this wasn't a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body contouring surgery. Still, he assured me the change in shape and silhouette would be significant—and he was absolutely right. The results have exceeded my expectations. While the number on the scale hasn’t changed much, I’ve dropped three pants sizes and feel more confident than I have in years. The contouring Dr. Thayer achieved is incredible. I finally feel like myself again. My posture has improved, my clothes fit beautifully, and I even feel more energized. I also want to give a special shout-out to his incredible team—Maggie and Mandy—for being there every step of the way. Their compassion, availability, and support made the entire journey so much easier. Whether I had a question or just needed reassurance, they were always just a phone call or text away. Their kindness truly made a difference in my experience. Thank you, Dr. Thayer & team, for your professionalism, artistry, and compassion. You've truly given me a new lease on life!
Outstanding. To begin with this whole team is a group of excellent, professional and kind people. Dr. Thayer knows who to surround himself with. More importantly, his work is impeccable. Nobody can figure out what's different. They just tell me how great I look. I just say, thank you.
Dr. Thayer is amazing! He is so personable and makes the entire process a breeze. I had submental liposuction and he also repaired my belly button after having two kids. I am a month and a half out from both procedures and I am beyond thrilled with my results. I would recommend him over and over again for any type of cosmetic procedure. 10/10!!!
Amazing experience from consultation to recovery! I’m 4 weeks out from a breast augmentation and I feel great and love the way they look, exactly what I was hoping for! Dr. Thayer and his staff were very accommodating and understood what I wanted, couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.
I am about 6 weeks out from my breast reduction surgery. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience has been. I am an RN and have been working in the inpatient hospital setting for almost 20 years. I was blown away by my experience with Dr. Thayer and the extraordinary team he works with. From the very first consultation, to my surgery, to my post-op appointments I felt listened to, heard and cared for as a whole person. Dr. Thayer listened so carefully to me. He learned about who I am and was able to provide me with the most amazing surgical experience that matched what I needed as an individual. I am extremely happy with the results! I have been wanting to have this procedure for a long time and I am so fortunate to have had it with Dr. Thayer and his team. The team kept me so well informed, they were communicating every step of the way. I get terrible post op nausea--I had none! Going into a surgery is scary, each and every person on that team was incredible at their job, kind and compassionate. Maggie made my appointments and communications smooth and easy! Mandy, Dr. Thayer's surgical assist, is so incredibly personable and incredible at her job. She was always there for questions and concerns.The pre-op nurse was so kind and caring. The CRNA was so attentive and was able to provide me with zero post op nausea, and I awoke comfortable and relaxed! I am so grateful for this team! I would highly recommend Dr. Thayer for your plastic surgery needs!
I’ve been wanting to get this procedure done for years. Dr. Thayer was so comforting and knowledgeable that I had hardly any nerves throughout the whole process. I’m thrilled with my results and would highly recommend him!
I think dissolving the filler prior to surgery is a great idea. The filler can distort natural tissue planes and removing it will help your facelift surgeon better identify these planes and reposition the deep structures (SMAS) more appropriately. I personally feel fat transfer can be more predictable, natural and elegant than fillers in the long term. Thanks!
I feel fat transfer does not do much actual lifting but rather filling out volumes that have hollowed or fallen lower on the face. Lifting procedures are the best thing to address fallen tissues. In your case, I do think a mini face lift with fat transfer would be a really great option. The prejowl / jowl area as well as the nasolabial and labiomental depressions would best be treated by lifting the tissues and tightening. A conservative fat transfer would then help rejeuvenate the skin and add nice volume to your cheek bone, nasolabial areas. If you volumize fallen tissues (ie no lift), the result typically feels heavy and low and can even worsen initial concerns.
Skin tends to relax more quickly after a skin-only facelift because the deeper structural layers of the face—particularly the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system)—are not addressed. In a skin-only facelift, the lift relies solely on the skin, which is elastic and less capable of holding long-term tension, especially in individuals with sun damage or reduced collagen. This often leads to earlier recurrence of sagging, particularly around the jawline and midface. In contrast, a deep plane facelift repositions the SMAS and deeper tissues, redistributing volume higher on the face and reducing strain on the skin itself. By lifting at a deeper level, the skin is better supported, resulting in more natural, longer-lasting results and less post-operative relaxation.
Hello and thanks for your question. You have a beautiful face and early signs of facial aging that you are noticing. Nonsurgical options do exist but given your description my recommendation would be a mini facelift to address the subtle laxity and descent in the lower face and prejowl area and combine this with conservative fat transfer to restore some natural volume to the cheekbone, temple and nasolabial areas. This fat helps soften the features, provides a youthful face shape and helps the appearance of the skin (fat transfer contains stem cells that help rejuvenate the skin). Thanks!
Great question. A mini facelift combined with fat transfer would be one great option. A mini facelift can address the mild to moderate laxity around the midface and mouth, providing the type of lift you're seeing when gently pulling upward near the temples. This technique allows for subtle yet meaningful improvement with a more refined recovery process compared to a full facelift. You are younger and as such do not have extensive descent of facial tissues and as such, may not need a formal deep plane facelift. Given your naturally thin features with depressions at your cheek, subtle fat transfer can be especially beneficial to soften some of the hollow areas, restoring volume and improving skin texture. This combination approach often produces a refreshed look while maintaining natural facial expressions. Thanks!
