Upper Bleph and Chin Lipo Success
Dr. Wakelin and his team are amazing! I recently had an upper bleph and chin lipo. The results turned out amazing! The whole process was quick and easy. I highly recommend CAPS and Wakelin. There was no pressure to get these procedures performed and there were no additional recommendations made unless I specifically asked for an opinion. Very happy to have my fat pocket on my chin gone and my eyes feel so much better! I will definitely be going back to Dr. Wakelin!

Wonderful experience - always leave with the best results
I’ve had a few procedures done and always leave with the best results. Dr. Wakelin and his staff are amazing and quick to help with questions and concerns. Dr. Wakelin is honest and upfront about what he can do and what results to expect. I now have my confidence back after struggling with my appearance after having twins. As I age, I will continue to see this team for “touch ups.” Confidence is important! Forever grateful for Dr. Wakelin and his team!

Breast Reduction with Dr. Wakelin - shoulder and back pain are gone
I had been dealing with shoulder pain for years and after various specialists, PT, dry needling, massages, etc. I asked if it could possibly be due to my G sized breasts on my 5'2" frame. Finally, my spine doctor agreed it could be the issue. Dr. Wakelin had already performed a tummy tuck during my hysterectomy, so I was comfortable returning to him. The consultation went well, and I explained my issue. He took measurements and said I was a great candidate. Of course, my

Amazing! Exceeded my expectations (abdominoplasty/ mastopexy)
When you have friends that work in the operating room and they recommend Dr. Wakelin you go see Dr. Wakelin. He definitely lived up to his great reputation: he and his team are awesome. They were professional and made me feel comfortable, listened to what it was that I wanted to achieve, answered all my questions and gave me realistic expectations. I had a full abdominoplasty and hernia repair with flank liposuction and mastopexy with lateral chest wall liposuction. My results

Amazing breast augmentation, hernia repair, abdominoplasty & flanks lipo!
Dr. Wakelin performed a mommy makeover surgery on me which included a breast augmentation, hernia repair, abdominalplasty and lipo of the flanks and did amazing. Every question I had was answered in a timely manner and went above and beyond all my expectations of how my first surgery ever was going to go. Currently on the mend and can't wait to see the final results because it already looks amazing!

Lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting has taken years off my appearance
After looking at myself in photos and seeing how much of an impact my under eye bags had on my appearance, I decided to do something about it. I'm very happy I did. I chose Dr. Wakelin because of his experience, keen eye for detail, reputation and experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon. The procedure was easy, my first time under general anesthesia. I had a lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting. Admittedly, I looked like a took a beating due to bruising and swelling,

Best team! Amazing care & follow up for multiple procedures
I Absolutely love Dr. Wakelin!!! He and his team are the best. I received amazing care, follow up was great and they were always available for anything I needed.
