Dr. Bucky is hands down the best. He's highly regarded in the business, is still involved in scientific innovations in the field, and has been around long enough to know where the profession is going. He listened to exactly what I wanted, looked at all my inspo photos, and gave me the most incredible results. I knew I wanted something a little larger and less "natural" but Dr. Bucky never made me feel silly or small for what I wanted. He knew exactly how to get me there and was cool, calm, collected, and considerate throughout the whole process. The Vectra process of 4D imaging after you've settled on a size really helped to visualize what the augmentation was going to look like at the end. His team is great as well - everyone in the office is friendly and helpful and answered all my recovery questions.
Nurse Kate is a phenomenal injector! She is a true artist and takes her time to understand what I need. She used a canula and there wasn't any pain. The results were immediate! No bruising! I felt heard and walked out looking totally natural. I am so happy and highly recommend her!!!!!
Dr. Bucky and his staff instantly had me feeling comfortable about my decision to have a mommy makeover done. Any feelings of nervousness faded away after I spoke with them and they were so caring the entire way through pre-op to post-op care. Luke was also my nurse and may I just say, he is an absolute joy to be around. The entire Bucky team just makes you feel like family. My results are completely above and beyond what I expected them to be. I am so in love with my body again after such long time of not feeling like myself. You won’t regret working with Dr. Bucky! He and his team are absolutely the very best! 10/10 would highly recommend!
I had the pleasure to get a breast enhancement by Dr. Bucky, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Bucky and his team (Erin, Luke, Kate) were incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. The entire process was smooth and reassuring. Dr. Bucky took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and ensure that I felt comfortable every step of the way. My goal was to achieve a natural, feminine look and he made it happen! His expertise and attention to detail truly shine through in the results. I honestly forget I had an enhancement! The staff at the clinic were equally wonderful, always greeting me with smiles and providing top-notch care. The environment was welcoming and calming, making me feel at ease throughout my visits. I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome and feel more confident than ever. If you're considering any cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bucky. Their skill, compassion, and dedication to patient satisfaction are unmatched. Thank you, Dr. Bucky and team, for an exceptional experience! I’m looking forward to more treatments!
As soon as I met Dr. Bucky I knew I found my surgeon. He listens to your goals and is a true professional in his work. My recovery was remarkably easy. He and his fabulous team made sure I knew exactly what to do. I never needed my prescribed pain meds. Couldn’t have asked for an easier process from start to finish. I had a breast lift and mini tuck.
Dr. Bucky's reputation precedes him -- and he does not disappoint. He is a perfectionist, and genuinely cares about his patients' outcomes. The office staff and nurses are all highly trained and respectful. And I could not be happier with my results. Highly recommend!
Embarking on my first journey into fillers and Botox, I discovered Kimmi, a true professional in the field. Her expertise and professionalism instilled immediate confidence, making me feel beautiful even before any procedure. Under Kimmi's care for nearly a year now, I've experienced not only technical excellence but also transparent and ethical guidance. She never pushes unnecessary treatments, ensuring an honest and trustworthy experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Kimmi to anyone considering Botox or fillers. Her mastery in injectables, coupled with a professional and transparent approach, guarantees an exceptional and reassuring experience.
Dr. Bucky is extremely meticulous and thorough. Working with him was an easy process. I had a previous breast surgery with another doctor that resulted in complications. After meeting with Dr. Bucky, he immediately knew how to fix my problem. I knew he was the best doctor for me. I finally feel like myself again. I feel so confident and comfortable with my new breasts. It was truly a pleasure to have him do my procedure. All of his staff are extremely professional and put me at ease. Especially nurse Kate. 10/10 would totally recommend him to anyone who is looking to have a beautiful, natural result!
I couldn't possibly fit all of the things I'd like to share about Dr Bucky into one review. He is simply the best! I almost went to a different surgeon for my breast augmentation years ago but something just didn't feel quite right. I'm a smaller person and I love to strength train. I wanted to restore my breasts to what they looked like before I had three kids, but I didn't want to be all boobs! The first surgeon I spoke to clearly had a different perspective on what I needed and it left me feeling very uncertain. When I met Dr.Bucky, he understood what I wanted with me barely saying a word. I think he just knows people and it's obvious that he has honed that ability over his career. He makes you feel comfortable and gives you the confidence that everything will be perfect in an instant. And it is!! My experience and the outcome of my surgery exceeded my expectations in every way. I actually get excited to see Dr Bucky when I have my post op appts. He has the most amazing bedside manner and has built an environment at his office that is second to none. I adore his staff (Kate is the BEST!! And Laney at the front desk is just the sweetest). I could go on and on. I'm so happy. I waited so long to do this and I feel incredibly fortunate that somehow, by some miracle, I waited just long enough to find Dr Bucky and his team.
My experience with Dr. Bucky and his entire team was amazing. Dr. Bucky is a brilliant surgeon and I could not be happier with the results of my facelift. Dr. Bucky’s team is incredibly competent, skilled, caring and professional. At each visit I was provided clear information on what to expect and both Dr. Bucky and his team were gladly willing to spend as much time as was needed to answer my questions. Facelifts are a frightening surgery, but the team was just so supportive they took away all my worry. My post op nurse, who stayed with me overnight, the lymphatic massage and skin care sessions have all been excellent. I could not be happier with my results and I could not ask for a better surgeon than Dr. Bucky or a better team than Kate, Tara and Michelle.
An appropriately done facelift utilizing deeper structures, not just the skin, can be very successful and last typically 7-10 years.
This order doesn't really affect the outcome of your result - it's completely up to the discretion of the physician.
Liposuction doesn't really "tighten" - it removes fat. This is not the procedure to treat jowls ad neck after facelift.
Removal of submandibular glands can sometimes be suggested due to large size however, it is not typical and has increased complication rate and should be performed only by people who do it routinely.
Why one doctor does one procedure over another isn't easy to say but it may because deep plane facelift has better longevity or is potentially safer than a SMAS. However, I don't agree with either. A major benefit from SMAS lift is two fold: The SMAS controls the gravitational changes to the face, specifically facial fat like to jowls. Also, SMAS is directly connected to platysmal muscle in neck therefore by lifting the SMAS you improve appearance of neck.
