I’m beyond happy with my results. This was a much needed procedure after having 4 children. The scars are minimal, my belly button looks amazing!! And my breasts turned out to be the perfect size (which I was a little worried about because I wasn’t sure what I wanted). He made the best judgment and did a fabulous job with everything!
I was referred to Dr. Olson through a friend who is a retired plastic surgeon… which speaks volumes about his reputation. I can’t say enough good things about Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute. The staff is absolutely incredible. EVERY SINGLE PERSON has made me feel like a friend. I have asked hundreds of questions and never felt I was being annoying. Their patient portal is magical. When I send a message I get a response that it’s been seen in minutes...and answers to questions very quickly. I went in with a very damaged body from weight gain/loss. I was embarrassed about the extent of my loose skin. Everyone has made me feel comfortable and at ease. Over the past 18 months I’ve had a lower body lift, fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, brachioplasty, mastopexy with implants, and a thigh lift with liposuction to my legs. My patient experience could not have been any better. Dr. Olson took the time to get to know me and listened to my wishes, goals and concerns. He was honest about what could and could not be fixed. The results have exceeded my expectations. Dr Olson is truly a body artist! He even texted me after each surgery to check on me. Thank you so much Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute friends! You are all my very favorites!!! This has been a dream come true for me!
I recently underwent a breast augmentation procedure, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My experience was exceptional, from the initial consultation to post-surgery care. Dr. Olson is an absolute expert, ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. The facility is gorgeous and the staff's professionalism and kindness made me feel at ease. The results have already exceeded my expectations – natural-looking and perfectly tailored to my body!!! I could not be happier!!
Incredible doctor. I had my breast augmentation almost a year ago now (January 2022) and can say everything about my experience with Dr. Olson was fantastic all the way through from consultation to post op. The office was always timely with getting back to me, scheduling etc. The office staff and nurses are professional and caring. Dr. Olson listened to what I wanted to achieve and delivered! He was realistic about the size I was thinking I wanted versus my goal photos. I trusted him and my results look amazing. They followed up after surgery and were very caring long after they had my money! I would recommend him 10000x. My friend even went after seeing my results!
I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor. Dr Olson was so informative and his staff was just as amazing. Everyone was very kind, patient and supportive. Will always pick Dr. Olson for my treatments. Advice; listen to your doctor. And do not be afraid to go bigger. No regrets.
I’m only 2 weeks post op for a breast lift and reduction (no implant) and labiaplasty. I am so happy I went with Josh Olson over another doctor. His cuts are very thin and I already know I’ll be left with little to no scars. His nurses are very sweet and attentive. I am a hypochondriac and worry about everything. I was able ask questions through a confidential app and received prompt responses. Thank you Josh Olson and staff for giving me my confidence back. Best cosmetic surgeon in Arizona! P.S. I will try to update pictures as I go.
I had a mommy make over in august . I’m glad I chose to stay in my home town and not to travel. I chose Dr Josh Olsen cause he was very highly recommended and is known for good belly buttons. He did an amazing job and the only thing I could even complain about is maybe the day of surgery the nurse did very quickly rush me back seemed like they were in a hurry to rush me back there and I just had to very quickly give me husband a quick hug.. which was scary to me cause it was my first ever big surgery ..but everything turned out amazing and I had no complications or infections or anything and he did an incredible job
I can not be happier with my experience with Dr Olson and his staff! After years of researching surgeons, and weighing the risks and benefits of Breast Augmentation I finally scheduled my consultation! I was able to schedule a consult relatively quickly (a month out) where I met with Dr Olson and one of his surgical nurses as well as his surgery scheduler. All of my questions were answered thoroughly and I was told my goal boobs were an attainable result which was amazing! I started with a 34A and ended up having a 440cc high profile implant placed in both my left and side breast. When I first went in I was so nervous about looking like I had huge breasts that made me top heavy and almost wanted a significantly smaller implant but the more I thought about it and looked at wish photos I realized I wanted a larger breast than I did originally! Dr Olson was able to go with a 440cc implant versus the 350cc I originally had thought I wanted and, you guys this is why you have to choose someone you trust I am in love!!!!! He made sure I achieved the look I wanted without becoming only boobs! The recovery was amazing I was only on pain meds for 3 days and it took about 5 days to get back on my feet and walking around. I’m currently 2 1/2 weeks post op and I’m basically doing everything I was prior to surgery minus of course hiit workouts etc but have started non weight bearing lower body isolated workouts (cleared by my doctor of course)! My whole experience was just amazing! His staff, his bedside manner, the pre and post op staff and the anesthesiologist everything was seriously awesome! Can’t wait for more fluff and drop to take place but already so happy with my choice!
I'm currently 4 days post op and figured I'd start my review. So far everything has gone good, it's painful but I will update how I feel & progress as I heal. Dr Olson and his team so far have been nothing but amazing, caring & attentive. I couldn't have picked a better doctor. Updated on 18 May 2022: I’m currently 6 days post op, it’s been rough. I stopped taking my pain meds on day 4. The tightness and slight burning sensation is pretty unbearable. Got a lymphatic massage today too! It DID NOT hurt at all. Updated on 24 May 2022: I’m not 12 days post op, and all I can say is things definitely get better!!! I’m feeling GREAT. Also (I just applied aquaphor to my belly button in pic so that’s the white stuff lol) but yeah. I have a super small waist, breast look AMAZING. Probably the easiest thing of this whole operation was was the breast aug. Literally no pain, not even once. Arms never hurt, never felt swollen there, the tummy tuck/lipo was a whole nother story. Super swollen and am still bruised down my back. The lipo foam leave indents in my skin so idk if I should keep using it, any suggestions?
I scheduled my consultation in April 2021, the soonest opening was for October 2021. After the consultation, I scheduled my surgery for the soonest date- August 2022! I am happy to know that the surgeon is so highly desired, but it as a bummer to finally make the decision to do this and have to wait so long. Well as it gets closer, I realized August won't work as we I'll be moving then. I was put on a cancellation list and just received the call that I can have my surgery in 6 weeks!!! I am so excited, but really freaking out because I felt like I had so much time to prepare and gather supplies and now I'm frantically trying to remember and search for what others recommended to get. I know a recliner lift, walker, shower chair and she-wee. What else is a must-have? Thank you!!
Great job on the weight loss. Tummy tuck would be your best option but muscle repair is not necessary so the pain won’t be near as bad as a traditional tummy tuck. Don’t waste your money on skin tightening in my opinion. Good luck
In general there shouldn’t be new redness along the incision 9 weeks after surgery but this sometimes can happen with the sutures not dissolving as they should. I’d have your surgeon take a look to make sure there is no concern for infection. The scar tissue along the incision will be palpable at 9 weeks which will soften with time. If you use tobacco I’d be concerned about a late infection. Best of luck
Unfortunately, weight alone is not enough to determine if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck. A BMI is slightly more helpful but seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation will be the best approach. Look at before and after photos as well to find photos of similar cases as your own. You would likely get much better results if you were able to lose more weight but you can discuss this with your surgeon. Best of luckJosh Olson MD
Great job with the weight loss. If you place implants alone the nipple will sit very lower on the breast and while in a bra or clothing you would look fine, out of clothing you may not be pleased with the appearance. A breast lift will reposition the nipple and tighten the skin around the implant for a much improved shape. Hope this helpsJosh Olson MD
I revision lift may increase your upper pole fullness but without know your surgical history and examining you it is difficult to say. Larger implants are heavier and the weight of the implants may be more than your tissue can hold up so adding Galaflex or Strattice for additional support may be reasonable. Going with a smaller implant can also increase your upper pole fullness in the long term. Best of luckJosh Olson MD
