Michael Boggess, MD

I researched for about 2 years to find the right for the perfect physician, look no further Dr Boggess and his staff. Were amazing!
He made feel comfortable through every step.
From consult to surgery and post op.
Dr.Bogguess gave us his phone number to contact anytime if we had any concerns. We had none every thing to from start to finish was completely explained.
The results were amazing! I went in kinda scared but 10000% I followed through and Dr.Boggess is an amazing artist!

I absolutely could not decide whether to take the risk on my facial rejuvenation. I was so afraid I would have a plastic look or a surprise look. After visiting with Dr. Boggess, I realized he does not work on every patient the same. Every procedure is tailored to the patient.
He assured me that no one would even notice except to say you look great!
I have found that to be exactly true! Research no longer. Go with Dr. Boggess! You’ll be glad you did!

Dr. Boggess (and the Youthful Reflections team) was patient with my concerns and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. I felt confident and comfortable when I finally booked my procedure.
I followed instructions, trusted the process and could not be happier with the results.
Any cosmetic procedure is a personal decision. If this is something you are considering, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Michael Boggess and his awesome team! If I had to do it all over again, I would not change one thing.

I am a registered nurse and have been in healthcare for many years. I recognize the quality care. The quality of care, kindness and professionalism provided by Dr. Boggess and his staff was simply incredible. I had a reflection lift, laser skin resurfacing, fat transfer and blepharoplasty. I am absolutely thrilled with my results!

Choosing a surgeon begins when you call the office to make an appointment for a consultation. When I called the office of Dr. Boggess, I was warmly greeted, was able to schedule a consult with very minimal questioning from the person who answered the phone. Very refreshing.
When I arrived at the office I was delighted that the office was quiet and professional, with a wonderful woman greeting patients and getting them started on paperwork, which was minimal.
Then I met Dr. Boggess. I was immediately at ease and felt comfortable sharing my concerns; sagging face, sagging neck.
He told me what his recommendations were, which were exactly what I expected, a lower face lift and neck lift, and CO2 laser to compliment the lift. Yay!
He answered all my questions, then I was moved to another office area to speak with Bernadette Boggess, who wears many hats and is just a delightful person.
She discussed price, which frankly I found to be extremely reasonable.
Because I live more than one hour away from the office, Dr. Boggess required that I stay in a local hotel the first night, so I hired a nurse and off we went.
My anesthesia was 30mg of valium and local lidocaine injections. Let me tell you, this was so much better than a general, you wake up quicker, way less risk, just a wonderful option. If you are considering this and worry that you will "wake up" or "feel something", you won't.
First night I wore the compression bandage. Face was a bit red from the laser but not bad at all. Went back the next day for removal of the compression that is then followed by a less restrictive compression bandage that the patient wears 24/7 for 2 weeks. A walk in the park!!
I had NO PAIN. The nurse wanted me to take a pain pill to mitigate potential pain onset but I didn't and I had no pain.
Recovery: by 72 hours I was out walking on my property (with a hat for sure) for one hour. Felt great. By 5 days I was driving with a scarf around my head and neck. Sorta felt like Greta Garbo ;)
My results are off the charts. But don't listen to me, here are quotes from my friends:
"OMG you look 15 years younger and I am not kidding"
"No way Jodes, you look so natural and just more happy"
"I hate you lol"...
You get the idea. To summarize, talk to as many surgeons as you wish but DO NOT leave Dr. Boggess off your list.

Two months post op

Dr. Boggess is not just a doctor - he is a true artist. The results were everything I wanted and more! He made my drooping rectangular shaped face (the collateral damage of aging and falling skin) into a more heart-shaped appearance. I was so very worried about the surgery and the recovery but every step of the way he let me know what to expect. I mean what other doctor offers their cell phone? He has the best bedside manner - so well informed and with no ego, no arrogance. He is the REAL DEAL. And I don't say that lightly.

Absolutely great. Dr Boggess and all the staff were wonderful. My down time was minimal. It was an uplifting experience for me. The Dr and staff made sure I was comfortable and met all my needs while under their care. They were great.

I can't even begin to tell you all the positive things about Dr. Boggess. He's amazing! Professional, completely transparent about expectations, follows up on all questions, is realistic in reviewing your case and potential outcomes, prepares for your surgery with his colleagues and is enthusiastic in his practice.

Dr. Boggess is a restoration specialist, I would have never dreamed he could take so many years off my face and neck. It was a great experience for me. During my procedure I was made comfortable, with absolutely no pain during or after my surgery. The result's are just mind blowing. One of my brothers didn't even recognize me! Dr. Boggess staff members are so sweet and considerate. I would highly recommend him for any rejuvenation procedures you may be considering. If I need or want any further procedures in my further, I will be returning to him for them.

It’s been almost 9 weeks since my procedures with Dr Boggess at Youthful Reflections and I’ve been meaning to write a review since I got back to Canada as the entire experience really could not have been better and I want everyone who works there to know how much I appreciate them!

From the initial consultation to the post procedure follow up I just felt so taken care of and confident that i had picked the best surgeon. Dr Boggess has been performing facial rejuvenation surgeries for a long time and his results are beautiful (take a look at his online gallery) However despite being very busy and performing thousands of these surgeries somehow he has remained so down to earth and spaces his surgeries so it really seems like he has all the time in the world for you.

This also applies to Bernadette who accommodated date changes, answered a million questions from me in the months leading up to the surgery and was so patient as i was very stressed about travelling with my family during covid. I really can’t stress what a difference it made that everyone who works at Youthful Reflections is just so nice (and a special shout out to Gary and Alex too who made all the pre and post procedure bits way more enjoyable! :-) I really do believe that a lot of other busy practices forget how important this personal aspect of patient care is and what a difference it makes to the overall experience so thank you!

In terms of the procedures I had a lower face and neck lift, brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, CO2 and fat transfer. I had the procedures under local anaesthetic and sedation which was a great option as my budget was pretty tight however i’m not sure that I’d choose that option again as it was pretty uncomfortable towards the end. I also felt pretty awful the week after mainly because of a weird reaction to medication which gave me horrible restless legs (so it's unlikely to happen to anyone else!) and pain meds/ antibiotics also make me feel rubbish and very nauseous anyway.

The pain from the facelift itself was completely tolerable. I had a little freak out at how swollen I was during the first week but by the end of week two i honestly looked completely presentable and since about week three I’ve felt really delighted with the results. It’s hard as the results are so insanely natural that you find yourself wondering if you’ve always looked this good until you see a before picture again. My husband thinks this is the best i’ve ever looked.

My eyes look fresher, the hooding has gone and my brows have been lifted and are more symmetrical, I have a jaw line instead of loose skin and I just generally look fresher and younger which was exactly what i wanted! The fat transfer has added the perfect amount of volume and looks so much more natural than dermal fillers that i will never go back! I’m relatively young for a facelift (44) but i don’t have great bone structure so i feel i looked a lot older than i should.

A few years before the surgery i spent an absolute fortune on dermal fillers ( i’d been using them anyway but went for a full face filler rejuvenation with an expert in LA) and they looked good (although not super natural like this) but after a year or so they were gone and I really felt so sick at the amount of money I’d spent on something so temporary that I started researching facelifts and I’m very happy I found Dr Boggess. I’ve had no real wobbles along the way with healing/results and I am super critical so if something looked off at all I would be freaking out.

I’m obviously still in the healing process and have areas of numbness and can still see my incisions but this is the time scale i was told to expect. I’m also so confident that if something did go wrong (unlikely now) i’d be in good hands in terms of resolving it which is again so important to feel as a patient. I really am so happy with how smooth the whole process has been and so grateful to everyone at Youthful Reflections. If you are currently researching surgeons and Dr Boggess is on your list I would not hesitate to recommend him :-) I might post some pics soon if i'm feeling brave!
