Jarred McDaniel, MD

Dr. McDaniel was great to work with. I never felt rushed when I was in an appointment with him. He really took my wants into consideration and was able to guide me in picking the proper implant and giving me the reasons why. His surgery area is great and the whole team made the whole process from consult to post-op smooth and easy. I shopped around for who I wanted to do my implants and breast lift, I even talked to someone in Denver. I chose Dr. McDaniel because of his ability to explain things to me when I asked questions, the time he took, his great surgery area, his staff and the pictures of his other patients. So glad I chose him as I am very pleased with my results.

Dr.McDaniel and his staff are so amazing! I came from Helena and it was so worth the drive visiting his office. I had two previous surgeries that I was not happy with and within 2 minutes of looking at me; Dr. McDaniel was able to tell me all the things he could fix. Visiting his office felt much different from the previous surgeon’s. I felt welcomed and listened to. I booked my surgery the same day as my consultation and the day of surgery was so easy and seamless. Recovery went great and I’m ecstatic about my results. I’ve never been more happy looking at my body and seeing what I’ve been dreaming of for forever. I’m so grateful for Dr. McDaniel and can’t thank him enough for making me feel so good about myself. 1000/10 recommend!!

I had my surgery 2 days ago with 425cc Demi motiva round implants under the muscle. Everything seems to be as expected so far, and I think I’m going to be happy with the final result and size I chose. I’m 5’4” 126 lbs and BWD 12.6cm. they’re sitting very high on my chest right now and are feeling really tight. Pain hasn’t been horrible- first night was the worst with 8/10 pain and discomfort but hasn’t been that high since. I slept a lot better last night. I attempted to shower but got really nauseous and almost fainted when my bf helped get the compression bra off and clean my sharpie off- so I just sat down and he wiped me with a wet cloth. Don’t think a shower is realistic for a couple more days. I didn’t expect the amount of back pain and aches I’m having from slouching and sleeping upright. I am constipated but personally didn’t get the swollen stomach as some do, just get really bad shakes sometimes if I walk or stand too long. I’ll post my updates here and hopefully it’s helpful to someone. Updated on 19 May 2025: Rough day. Took off bra for shower and nearly fainted from pain. Tried to shower day 1 post op but got extremely nauseous so I had my bf just wipe me with a warm cloth. A lot of swelling and very hard to sit up on my own or get in bed on my own. Updated on 19 May 2025: Lots of swelling still this day, maybe felt slightly lower down from my collarbones. They almost seemed small to me here, but I know they will change and overall I feel really confident in the size I decided on. I’m also happy they’re looking symmetrical for the most part and my incision hasn’t bothered me. Updated on 19 May 2025: Lots of swelling still this day, maybe felt slightly lower down from my collarbones. Really curious and anxious how they will drop and hoping for a successful healing journey. Very sore and tight, very tired and tough to get around. Applying lots of bio oil. Absolutely hate the garment they put me in but I’m afraid to switch to something less supportive and compromise my results. Need help grabbing stuff even a couple feet away. Also did not expect the severe back pain from my posture, sleeping, overall stiffness. Muscle rub and heating pad essential Updated on 19 May 2025: This stupid app keeps deleting updates. Ugh. Here’s the photos so message if you want more details. Already running low on pain pills, it’s worse at night getting up and in the mornings. Honestly can’t really tell if the pills help aside from sleepiness, it’s not going to knock out the pain by any means. It’s more extreme discomfort and sore tightness but you can’t move your arms. Wishing could fast forward to a month from now but I know this is the worst of it. Feel optimistic about how they’re going to look. Don’t expect to be independent by any means a few days after. I have a lot of difficulty going pee because I can barely get my pants down or up. Make sure you have help and support and I recommend protein drinks. Get straws for anything you want to drink so you don’t have to pick up heavy cups. Also a rolling cart because you can’t contort at weird angles to grab pills etc at night.

Updated on 19 May 2025: Been applying lots of bio oil and impatient for drop and fluff. I think the size is good for my body and I’m feeling glad I went with round motiva for the upper pole fullness. Surgical bra is pretty tight and not comfortable but I’m trying to trust my surgeon and not wear one recommended from other places online. Updated on 23 May 2025: Recovery has been hard mentally. Up until today (9th day) I had very little ability to do anything and arm movement is still very limited. It’s hard to need help with everything and I think the pain meds affected my mood and emotions. Overall I’m really happy with the size and how I think they’re going to look. I’m just super anxious about them dropping and settling properly and they’re hard to look at right now because they’re quite squarish and the right one is sitting a little bit higher. I’m trying to put that out of my mind but it is unsettling. Overall just trying to manage my anxiety about everything and just be patient. Pain has been minimal the last couple days, especially today. I walked over a mile and kept my heart rate below 103 so I’m hoping I didn’t overdo it. I just really needed to get out of the house and move around because of the post op blues as they call it. Finally feeling more like myself today, still can’t wash my own hair or brush it which has been massively annoying as my bf is confused by all of this and despite doing his best, can’t even manage to put my hair in a bun. Ugh. But it’s getting better each day and I have a post op appt in 6 days- really hoping for positive feedback on how things are looking. Updated on 11 Jun 2025: starting to round, drop, and look a lot more normal. I go back and forth between liking them and wondering if I made a huge mistake. They look very big to me still and I really hope they won't look this big when they are done settling. But overall very glad they are starting to look more round! Will probably feel better about them once I can workout again and feel good in my skin. You can see in 3 week photo there's still quite a big of swelling on top and sides. It's still nearly impossible to shave under my arms.

Dr. McDaniel and the entire staff in his office are a delight to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, fast to respond to inquiries before and after surgery, and always friendly faces. It was my first time ever having any sort of major surgery, and everyone involved made sure I knew what was going to happen both before and after surgery.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. McDaniel and his entire staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and taken care of. Dr. McDaniel is not only highly skilled but also incredibly personable, taking the time to answer all my questions and make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. His staff was equally wonderful—professional, friendly, and attentive every step of the way. The whole process was smooth and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. McDaniel and his team for anyone considering plastic surgery! Obsessed with my results!

My experience with liposuction of the lower chin and addressing the submental lipoma was exceptional from start to finish. The procedure was minimally invasive and expertly performed by Dr. Jarred McDaniel, whose skill and professionalism were evident throughout the process. He took the time to explain every detail, ensured I had realistic expectations, and offered personalized options to meet my goals. His honesty and thoroughness gave me complete confidence in my decision. The recovery time was much faster than anticipated—I was only out of work for a week. Pain was minimal, and I managed it effectively with ibuprofen and Tylenol. I only experienced minor nausea upon returning home, likely due to the anesthesia drugs, which was quickly resolved. I had no need for the anti-nausea medication or stronger pain medications I was prescribed. Dr. McDaniel’s team made accommodations for my preferences, such as preferring my IV in my arm instead of my hand.The results are already impressive, and follow-ups at one, three, and six months have ensured my healing is on track and without complications.As a medical professional, I recognized and appreciated the high standards of care, from the use of minimally invasive techniques to the transparency about medications, recovery, and expectations. I especially enjoyed meeting the rest of Dr. McDaniel's surgical team prior to my operation. The personalized consultations added to the seamless experience. I highly recommend Gallatin Plastic Surgery for effective, minimally invasive treatments with an emphasis on patient comfort and care.

After much searching, I set up a consultation with Dr. Jarred McDaniel. His office does charge a consultation fee, but it goes towards your surgery balance when you book a surgical date. My situation: Originally had 371 Natrelle silicone implants placed in October 2013. Never had any issues with my implants. I was discovered to have a 7cm lesion on my right breast that was benign but growing bigger to the point where it needed to be removed and the growth was plainly visible when wearing a bra/bikini. All this to say, I was searching for a plastic surgeon who worked beyond elective surgery and tackled physical appearance problems born from body malformations (like myself), accident, and injury. The consultation was thorough and Dr. McDaniel used the latest technology to capture my current stats and show my before 3D pictures on the (near) lifesize screen. I also viewed (potential) after models. We discussed everything. He gave me options as far as the game plan during surgery and the pros and cons of each. I was also encouraged to be in touch with ANY question. I would regret not mentioning Kayla, RN and Kate, Office Staff of Gallatin Plastic Surgery. I enjoyed meeting Kate at my consultation. You can tell she has years of customer service experience, as she is naturally warm, friendly, and smart about all the nuts and bolts of the office. Kayla, is one of those whipsmart ladies who has ALL the medical knowledge, but sprinkles in phrases like "that iv went in beautifully " and "you are doing wonderfully, Rosemary." to keep you feeling safe, confident, and excited about your surgery instead of fearful. Onto surgery day! Surgery was scheduled for 7a.m at a private surgical suite. I went this route before, preferring the more personal environment and avoiding the hospital. The suite was immaculately clean, sterile, and the operating room reminded me of Grey's Anatomy. I had the anesthesiologist chatting with me about medical "shop talk" and personal antidotes until I took a 2 hour nap. I was nervous, and that I was expecting. I woke up feeling sleepy and was discharged with thorough instructions until my follow-up appt. What a relief! For after care, I am taking Tylenol and Advil scheduled around the clock and pain medication as necessary. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET A PEEK AND SHARE PHOTOS WITH YOU, LADIES!! Updated on 18 Mar 2025: Here are my before photos! You can likely notice the asymmetry as the left inplant had drifted down and out and the right breast is where the 7cm benign growth was located. I had the pocket for the implant tightened on the left side only. On the right side, where the growth was removed, Dr. McDaniel was able to go in through the inframmery incision and was able to only make one incision instead if two. This I am thrilled about! Updated on 18 Mar 2025: Here are my 8 week post-op photos! The left breast continues to drop and fluff. I am 100% satisfies with my results. I was given complimentary scar treatment cream and a discount on scar laser treatments in the future, though I don't think I will need them! I plan.on posting more photos after my final visit with Dr. McDaniel at 6 months post-op. Updated on 20 Mar 2025: It looks like my 8 week photos did not upload with my update. Let me try again! I have started using the scar cream and like how quickly it absorbs. It's also wonderful having that huge growth out of my body on the right breast side. Dr. McDaniel said those types of growths don't normally grow back. He's an expert and got clear margins on the removal. Thank you for following my story!

Dr. McDaniel is phenomenal! He consulted with the ER when my son was brought in for an eye injury/tripod fracture. He supported the ER with recommendations in order for us to go home safely. We followed up with him two days after our ER visit, and he was very helpful. He reviewed the CAT scan results with us, and he made our 13 year old son feel very comfortable. We are thankful that he was so thorough, and he made sure all our questions were answered before we left. We highly recommend Dr. McDaniel and his staff at Gallatin Plastic Surgery!

Dr. McDaniel is a fantastic plastic surgeon. I researched plastic surgeons for a tummy tuck. I decided to make the 5.5 hour drive to Gallatin Plastic Surgery. I’m so happy I did! Dr. McDaniel was so kind and answered all my questions in depth. He took his time and I never felt rushed. After Dr. McDaniel explained my options and what was best for me, I decided to go with a lower body lift. I love my results! Recovery was a breeze. Dr. McDaniel’s team was so attentive and check in with me often after surgery. I’ll be going back to get my girls a lift.

I had a wonderful experience at Gallatin Plastic Surgery, everyone was very welcoming and made me feel extremely comfortable. I travelled in from out of town, and they were very accommodating both before and after my procedure. The results were great, and the healing process was seamless. I can highly recommend Dr. McDaniel, I felt safe the entire time and love my results.
