Jerry Chidester, MD

29 mom of 3 and had my Tummy Tuck 3 years ago. I am 5"4 and went into surgery at 190 lbs. At the time I was happy with my weight, but wanted the loose skin gone. I knew I had diastases that needed to be repaired and also got 360 Lipo to get my lower back and love handles to complete the Tummy Tuck.

29 / 5"4 / 170Lbs

Three years ago, I underwent a tummy tuck. After complete healing, a minor dog ear appeared on one side, discreetly concealed along my underwear line. Initially, it wasn’t a concern since it was only noticeable when fully unclothed or in a string bikini, which I rarely wear. Now, I’ve opted to address it, while it's winter and have some downtime.

I had a reduction/lift 3 weeks ago and traveled out of state just to see Dr. Chiddy with a 1 and a 3 year old . I found Dr. Chiddy right before all his videos started going viral on TikTok. I had just given birth so I didn’t book and then one day I saw that he was booked for almost a whole year. I honestly thought it was a marketing tactic and it made me think twice about booking with him. Things Dr. Chiddy is good at is #1 surgery and #2 marketing. He kills it. The dancing TikTok videos were GENIUS. But I did ask myself, is this someone who is truly a great surgeon or am I being bamboozled because he’s such a damn likable person? Is his work really worth waiting a full year? Well.. I did wait and it 100% was. 

I remember going through reviews of plastic surgeons and I always felt like there was some incentive for people to leave reviews like they got a discount because the reviews were too perfect with zero elaboration (especially the reviews in Utah which I found out to be true) So I’ve decided to post my real life conversations with his staff, Dr. Chiddy himself, and proof that I am a paying patient that had no incentive to post a review so his future patients can see how great he was and that his social media hype is real. 

I did not post my before and afters because I don’t want those pictures tied to my name for career reasons but I allowed Dr. Chiddy to post them on his page.. which is kind of funny because I initially said no because I was totally insecure pre op and then the next I was so happy with the results I told him I wanted to sign the release so others could see how great he did. Which you can see in one of the messages to him. 

As far as my results, I’ve only seen the scarring twice in between changing the steristrips and the area I cared about the most for scars doesn’t even look like a scar. The incision was so clean that I don’t think my body even noticed kidding but it looks really good and I was surprised. The messages in the Symplast app is the app his office uses so you can have direct communication with his staff. He really is worth it and his staff is amazing. I never once was ignored with my questions and I was fully aware of what my surgery results would look like even the ugly parts to it.

Dr. Chidester is a phenomenal surgeon!! I am over the moon happy with my mommy makeover. My expectations were beyond met!! I am comfortable in my own body again and it feels amazing to not have to hide in big clothes and avoid pictures with my kids! My experience with Dr Chidester and his office staff has been fantastic! All of my questions/concerns were promptly answered. If you are considering this surgery, DO IT, my only regret is not doing it sooner! Recovery was a breeze for me, I would do it a thousand times over!

Absolutely loved my experience with doctor Chidester. This Draper clinic has the most amazing staff. Everyone is extremely patient, helpful, caring and fun to be around which makes the journey for your body enhancement much easier. Every woman who underwent plastic surgery knows how emotionally challenging it is and I would not do my augmentation with anyone else!! Even the aftercare is outstanding.

I absolutely love my results. Doctor Chidester help me choose the perfect size of the implants for me. I got Natrelle SSF (Soft smooth round silicone, high profile) 345ml under muscle. Below you can see the changes up till now. Currently I am two months post op and the breast keep changing every day. Can't wait for one year update where my breast will be fully settled in it's pockets.

Everytime I visit Dr. Chidester for botox I am always so happy with my results. His office space is beautiful and inviting. His staff is the friendliest and kindest medical office staff I have ever worked with. Dr. Chidester really takes the time to listen to what your concerns and needs are. I have recommended him to all of my friends and family! Every person I know that has visited him always comes away so happy!! I would give him more then 5 stars if I could!

Dr. Chidester is the best around!!! I have watched many of his surgeries, and he really knows his stuff. His before and after photos speak for themselves! I went in for a mommy makeover earlier this year and I am extremely happy with my results!!! I would absolutely refer any one of my friends or family to him. He also has the best bedside manner. He is incredibly friendly and professional! And so is his staff. I look forward to my appointments!

I am so happy with my results from my breast augmentation! I had several consults with Drs. in the Salt Lake valley, and Dr. Chidester stood out. He was so personable, and you can tell he cares about his patient’s and listens and does an amazing job. It has been such a good experience and I have received so many compliments. I highly recommend checking him out!

I got into a fight with a saw blade. I cut the tip of my left index finger off and the tendon and nerve on my middle finger. I was life flown to Salt Lake from Wyoming. Dr. Chidester was waiting at the hospital for me and got me into surgery right away. He was very good with my family in explaining what happened and how he was able to fix it. I have had very good check ups and if there is ever a question I know I can call and get an answer right away.

I have been around to a couple different plastic surgeons and felt right at home with Jerry and his staff. From consultations, to scheduling, to the actual surgery day they have been fabulous! I had a Mommy Makeover done and Dr. Chidester executed it perfectly. I feel like a new woman and am so happy with my results. Jerry is a gifted surgeon and a delight to be around. Best decision ever made!

I went to see Dr. Chidester for a breast augmentation consultation. Something I’ve been thinking about for years. I knew nothing based off experience. Just what I had researched online. His office was extremely easy to find. When I first walked in, the gals at the front were so friendly and welcoming and I was blown away by how beautiful, clean and quaint the main office was. I first met with Tawny who was extremely helpful. She asked what I expected for an outcome and listened to all the concerns and questions I had. She’s very personable and made me feel so comfortable. I then talked with Dr. Chidester, Tawny and another gal, I forgot her name :( sorry! Who were all in the room for measurements and questions. They all made me feel like I was at home and answered every question that came up as we went along. They showed me before and after photos of similar procedures to mine and assured me that my vision was definitely doable. I am so happy I was recommended to come here. Their price points, and customer service alone are amazing. Dr. Chidester explained everything with more detail than I expected and is highly knowledgeable. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I can’t wait to schedule my appointment with them!

I had the most amazing experience here. I went in for a breast augmentation and from the very beginning for the consultation, to the actual procedure, I was very impressed. Dr. Chidester is so professional he made me feel so comfortable and he does amazing work. He is so personable. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. When I got there for my procedure, my nurse Taylor walked me through the whole process. She is so friendly and talked with me the whole time and kept me comfortable. Any questions I had, she answered. Sean the nurse anesthetist walked me through all the medications, exactly what I would experience. He was extremely friendly and helpful. The medical assistant Rachel made sure she was there when I woke up and kept me comfortable and dealt with all my weird questions. This team is nothing short of amazing. Their bedside manner is above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Thank you guys. Each and every one of you really exceeded my expectations.
