Hey all! I am 2 weeks post-op from my Implant Revision With Dr. Thayer and his team and I could not be happier. He has magic powers I swear! Throughout the entire process I felt so supported and special. Mandy, Maggie, and Dr. Thayer were so attentive and helpful leading up to surgery and after. Thank you! My first set of implants were placed in 2013. After 3 children, I had lost all volume and really disliked how my breast looked in shirts. I also have a wide sternum and they began to fall into my armpits. We decided to go with 450 CC motiva implants & use internal mesh to support them and push them inwards. Guys - I never thought my breasts would ever be this close together! So much more fullness at the top and middle and yet, they still match my frame. I’m 5’5”, 115lbs. I have more before photos on my previous review in my profile.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Thayer and his incredible team. From start to finish, my tummy tuck experience was flawless.. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Thayer took the time to listen to my goals, answer every question, and explain the entire process in a way that made me feel confident and informed. He has an exceptional eye for detail and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations—my stomach looks better than it ever has, and I feel like a new person. The entire team is just as amazing. The nurses, office staff, and surgical team were kind, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire journey. They made me feel cared for, respected, and genuinely valued as a patient. If you’re considering a tummy tuck or any cosmetic procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Thayer and his team highly enough. This experience was truly life-changing, and I’m so grateful to have trusted such an exceptional surgeon and staff. Thank you, Dr. Thayer—you are simply the best!
Dr. Thayer did a wonderful job and his staff are so friendly and accommodating. They were great at answering all of the questions I had before and after treatment. I was back to work in a week and feeling great.
Words cannot even begin to describe the experience I had with Dr. Thayer and his staff. All I can say it was absolutely amazing. Dr. Thayer, Maggie and Mandy made my breast augmentation surgery seamless and worry free. They all care so much for their patients, listen and understand your surgical goals. I couldn’t be more happy with my results 3 months post-op and would highly recommend anyone to see Dr. Thayer and his staff. Thank you all so much for bringing back my confidence.
I’m about four months post op from a 360 body lift and breast lift. Based on my experience, Dr. Thayer is a huge asset to Quintessa. Very knowledgeable, approachable, highly professional, and a talented surgeon. I’m very pleased with my results and Dr. T. was consistently available for my questions whether they were big or small (and I asked a lot of them!) He has a really standout bedside manner from other plastic surgeons I consulted with which when coupled with his skill make him a bit of a unicorn in this space. It’s clear he genuinely respects and cares for his patients. If I have more work done, I’d go back to him with confidence.
Dr. Thayer is the best. I could not be happier that I decided to go through my breast augmentation with him at my Quintessa. He helped me determine what size I wanted and what would work best for me and let me tell ya… he DELIVERED. I’m obsessed with the result. Him and his team always made me feel like more than just a patient. Best decision ever and best care I could have received! You are all rockstars.
If you are looking for a plastic surgeon you can trust, who is kind and caring and does everything he can to give you the results you want, Dr. Thayer is your choice!! 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 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!
