He did myself and my mom Breast Reduction two years ago and we didn’t have any problems my breast looks amazing and the staff are amazing. The Moment I walked in Dr. Hawner office everyone treated me like family. If you have any problems with your surgery he is on call he and will answer and guide you every step of they way. We are REAL PEOPLE these are REAL REVIEWS and I know how it is when you are trying to find a great doctor with experience that will satisfy your every need. Thank you again Dr. Hawner for changing my life
I decided to invest in myself and the results I’ve gotten from Dr. Hawner and his staff are amazing! Self care can do so much for your confidence! Dr. Hawner is a skilled surgeon who will honestly give opinions on what will work for you. I can’t say enough good things about the Hawner Team!
Dr. Hawner performed my BA. It was the best decision I have made! They’re gorgeous, natural looking and people I’ve known my whole life questioned whether they were real. His staff was amazing and I will be going back for other services and procedures now that I’m back in the area.
Recently, I had my consult with Dr. Hawner for my tummy tuck and I'm so excited!! I am scheduling my surgery for the summer when my children are out of school!! Can hardly wait!! Ready for my tummy to be flat again!! Updated on 20 May 2019: I scheduled my surgery!! I've been wanting this surgery for years but I wanted to wait until I was done having babies. After I had my first born...going from a size 7 to a size 16, the skin on my belly was unbelievably stretched to the max!! I cried when I looked in the mirror. I lost the weight shortly after and still had what I call the "kangaroo pouch" (cause that's where I carried my babies). So I would workout hard for a firmer belly but the extra skin made me uncomfortable in my body. So now I can actually do something about it with the help of Dr. Hawner!! Time is flying by and the day will be here before I know it!! The office crew was very helpful with the scheduling of the surgery and answering all of my questions. I'll see Dr. Hawner in a couple of weeks for my pre-op visit. I'm looking forward to being on the flat side and preparing myself mentally for the recovery. I'll be posting pics soon!!
I've wanted a tummy tuck ever since I had my little boy-- so for 20 years. My baby was 9.01 oz, 21 1/2" long and I had a somewhat small frame. I never was able to get my tummy back. A tummy tuck was always a dream. I finally saved enough money and 2 weeks before my son's 20th birthday, I got it! Updated on 28 Jun 2016: My surgery date was June 7, 2016 Updated on 28 Jun 2016: Updated on 28 Jun 2016:
I had an initial consultation with Dr. Hawner this week. He & his staff are very kind & attentive. The wait time was actually very short. I have heard excellent praise from multiple sources regarding Dr. Hawner's experience. Everyone I've spoken with absolutely loves their results. I know I'll be in great hands. Updated on 13 Sep 2015: Updated on 16 Jan 2016: I decided to write more posts after I actually got the procedures done because I ran into a few snags along the way. I am happy to report that I did indeed get a MMO January 15th as planned. So now to share my journey with everyone on RS. Even though I did post about my consultation with Dr. Hawner at Hawner Plastic Surgery, I decided to touch on that here as I go through the whole process leading up to surgery. I had my consultation appointment back in the beginning of September. The location is convenient, right next to Longview Regional Medical Center. The office is very welcoming. Dr. Hawner's staff & assistants are awesome. They treated me like a long time friend, which helps with the dreaded examination part of the consultation. They were all so extremely helpful the entire time. Dr. Hawner is quite pleasant, extremely thorough, and very conscientious. I knew I was going to be well taken care of after that initial appointment. The consultation in detail: I signed in and was given a packet of information to complete. I waited only a few minutes before being called back to the exam room. Dr. Hawner and his assistant came in to talk with me about what I wanted done. They gave me a robe, a package containing disposable panties and a bra with closures in the front for me to change into for the physical part of the consultation. They stepped out in order for me to disrobe and change. His assistant knocked to see if I was ready and they returned to the room. Dr. Hawner measured my chest and breast area while we discussed the augmentation, which implants would work best for me and what size I wanted. His assistant helped place different sizers in the bra for me to be able to decide which ones I preferred. I went with 600 cc bilaterally. Then he measured my abdomen, showed me where the incision would be along the top of the panty line. He also demonstrated how he would go about the abdominoplasty procedure and the fact that drains would be necessary. We discussed the aspect of pain during and after surgery, time off work required, post-op care. I was given a list of procedure costs, anesthesia fees, hospital fees and some financing options. With that, I was on my way to work out the details. I set about figuring out when I could take time off. I researched financing options. I decided to go with a personal loan because the interest rate was quite a bit better for me than care credit. I sent in FMLA requests which were denied. I was distraught about that news but I just kept telling myself there simply has to be a way. That same day, I had it all figured out and had the proper leave forms signed by HR. After my consultation, I discussed with my supervisor the need for time off and when I had it tentatively planned. She was good with plans and approved my leave as requested. Very shortly after that, I was changed to a different department by corporate. So that means I now I have a different supervisor that has the option to deny or approve my leave request. I was nervous while awaiting her decision. Everything else had been falling into place. Happily, she did give me the green light. Next obstacle: I had been having slightly elevated blood pressures for sometime but I just didn't want to have to take any medications. The stress of the holidays, fast approaching deadlines, and the higher volumes of patients coming in were really taking a toll on me. I was having increasing blood pressure issues. I knew if I didn't get it under control, I wouldn't be allowed to have surgery. I got my primary doctor to prescribe the blood pressure medications to get me into normal limits. The following week I had my pre-op appt, payed the fees, had labs drawn, an EKG, and a chest x-Ray (a requirement of anesthesiology if you have diagnosis of hypertension.) Now I just hurry up and wait. Surgery is scheduled in one week. I tried not to think about it too much. I bought groceries that would be quick and easy, including meals my twelve year old could handle with minimal supervision (i. e. Microwaveable items.) My husband will be home to help me the first few days. Then it's going to be me and the kiddos. The good thing is, like I said, my twelve year old can help quite a bit. She's even got a couple extra days off of school for school holidays. That worked out perfectly. Updated on 16 Jan 2016: The night before surgery, I laid out my clothes, set my alarm for 4:45 am because I had a 6:00 am arrival time. I showered with hibiclens for 3 minutes as instructed. Dr. Hawner had given me a prescription for Xanax to take that bedtime. I was glad he did because I was excited and definitely needed something to help me rest. The morning of surgery when the alarm went off I hit the snooze button because I'm just not a morning person. I finally convinced myself I had better get up. I showered again with hibiclens. Got dressed and ready to go. My husband is not a morning person either but he tried to lighten the mood by cracking a few jokes. He knew I was nervous. I was really only concerned about the pain. Otherwise, I knew I was in good hands. We arrived at the hospital and signed in. Then sat in the waiting area for about 10-15 minutes. They called us back to the pre-op area. I changed into a gown, got an IV placed, had vital signs taken, answered questions for the nurses documentation. Next I was taken to the holding area where the anesthesiologist came to talk with me. I was a bit hoarse at the time so he told me he didn't think it was a good idea to proceed. My heart sank at first but then I thought surely they won't cancel over this. Dr. Hawner came in to mark my incision sites. We laughed and joked lightheartedly. He didn't even mention anything about the hoarseness. After getting marked the CRNA came in gave me a "cocktail" in my IV. Subsequently after this we were to surgery suite. I could here them getting everything ready. Not too long after that I was the sedation took effect. The next thing I knew I was being transported to PACU. I was hurting. There was a pretty intense burning in my lower abdomen, my chest felt very tight and my arms and hands had prickly sensation much like when your foot falls asleep. I reported this to the nurse. She gave me some meds in my IV. I went back to sleep. I would wake to them asking me questions or taking vital signs. At some point I was transported to recovery. I was hurting again with the same symptoms as described earlier. I was told that we would change over to oral medication at this point. The nurse returned shortly with pain meds. I was also feeling very nauseated. She applied phenergan gel to my wrist. Which to my surprise was quickly taking effect. She removed the Foley catheter. I immediately felt I needed to void my bladder. I was dreading having to get up. It hurt terribly. Then it hurt terribly to get up from the toilet. Oh boy, it hurt very badly getting back into bed. Finally, after the proper recovery time and discharge criteria (nausea had to be resolved, had to void bladder) was met, I was released. Here we go, extreme pain to get up, extreme pain to sit in the wheel chair, every little bump hurt along the way. Then severe pain getting out of the wheel chair. Thankfully, my husband has an SUV so getting up into the truck wasn't too terrible but that hurt pretty bad nonetheless. The entire car ride home was painful and I get bouts of nausea here and there. At last we were home, but now I've got to get out of the truck. My husband mostly got me out and yes it hurt very much. I took my pain meds and set about trying to get into bed. I was hurting so terribly that it took several minutes for my husband and I get me situated. I put pillows under my knees and tried to lay very still until the medication took effect. I fell asleep for a while. When I awoke needed to use the restroom but I was not looking forward to getting of bed. My husband helped me up and I went to the toilet. I looked at how low it seemed. I could not imagine sitting down on it or getting back. So although it was awkward and tmi I straddled the toilet standing over it to void. It worked. And it didn't hurt Lol. Now to get back in bed. It didn't hurt quite as bad as that initial time I got into bed, but believe me it was still very very painful. That is how I spent the majority of the first evening, up to void, back to bed, staying on top of meds. Around nine that night I began to feel slightly hungry. My husband fixed me some garlic mashed potatoes. My daughter fixed me hot tea. This was my first time out of room since I had gotten home. I really enjoyed those mashed potatoes and the hot tea. I ate very slowly to see if I could tolerate food. I was glad we have pub style dining chars because it was not painful to sit at the table. I went back to bed shortly as I was already feeling fatigued. The first night was not too bad. And awoke to use the restroom a couple of times. I would take meds while I was up to keep the pain under control. I will post more about my recovery experience. Updated on 16 Jan 2016: I took a couple of pics at the hospital pre-op Updated on 16 Jan 2016: Post-op day 1 Updated on 17 Jan 2016: I made it through my first night at home pretty well. I actually got up by myself to use the restroom. It was a process and it's quite painful but it doesn't last very long. Once I'm up, it doesn't hurt. I've been staying on top of my medication schedule. I take them as often as allowed in order to keep the pain level down and under control. My husband has been taking excellent care of me. He changed my dressings and emptied my drains. He has been taking care of the kids and keeping them occupied. He fixed breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs and toast. I sat at the table while he was preparing everything. I'm not used to being waited on while I do nothing. I get fatigued easily. So after I ate breakfast, I was ready to go lay down. The only other thing I ate that day was a protein shake. I didn't even want it but I knew I needed to eat something. I noticed later in the day that I felt short of breath. Probably because I haven't been breathing deeply. I decided to get up and walk around the house a while. I walked several "laps" throughout the house, about 10-15 minutes. I felt a little weakness in my legs while I was walking. But I wanted to keep moving to prevent DVT's and atelectasis. When I went back to my room and got into bed, I began to cough. OH NO!!!!! It was hurting so terribly . I couldn't stop it. I had to get out of bed and was holding a pillow over my abdomen which helped very little. It was excruciating and the pain lasted several minutes after each cough. I couldn't clear the mucus. But it hurt so badly that when I calmed the cough I just had to let it go. No way was I going to be able to keep trying to clear the mucus. I took pain meds and fell asleep. Updated on 18 Jan 2016: Post op day 4 Pic of breast aug. Can't tell much about it yet bc there's still a lot of edema to the area Updated on 18 Jan 2016: I woke up today feeling somewhat better than yesterday. My Hubbie fixed us a good breakfast. I ate about half my food today. I've been taking my meds as often as allowed. That's the only way to keep the pain under control. DH helped me with a sponge bath and even helped wash my hair in the sink. He worked fast so I didn't have any pain. He did my dressing change, emptied my drains and got my cg on super tight. I decided to try to hang out on the couch today. I could not get comfortable. After a while of trying to get situated, I decided to try the recliner. That was much better. I had another bout of coughing. That rates a 9 of 10 with each cough. It's horrible. Updated on 19 Jan 2016: I had a terrible time trying to sleep in the bed last night. I just could not get comfortable. I finally just got back in the recliner. I had some more coughing which is excruciating. I fell asleep for a few hours. I awoke to more coughing, almost violently coughing. It wouldn't stop. It was absolutely awful with each cough. I was in a bind. I was also out of cough medicine. I ended up taking the kids pediatric cough syrup and drinking hot tea. The coughing finally subsided and I went back to sleep for a few more hours. My DH woke me up to eat breakfast. I went to the restroom, ate breakfast and went back to sleep for quite a while. I finally took a sponge bath in the late afternoon. I've felt pretty fatigued and wiped out today. I made myself get up and walk around in the house for several "laps" in order to prevent DVT's and atelectasis. DH went to run errands, so I sent him to get more cough medicine while he was out. That seems to be my biggest issue. The pain has been well controlled with a regular schedule of meds. The coughing is the only time I've had much pain over the past day or so. Updated on 19 Jan 2016: Today I have felt pretty good. The cough medicine has the cough under control. I've been able to cut back on pain meds significantly today. I'm getting around more easily. DH is still taking good care of me and keeping the kids occupied. So I'm just hanging out, resting. I get up and walk around periodically. I'm able to stand a tad bit straighter. I think everything is coming along nicely. Updated on 20 Jan 2016: Pic of MMO Updated on 23 Jan 2016: I had my first post op follow up appt on Wednesday. All is going well and healing well. One drain was removed. I was hopeful that one would be removed but also was trying not to have my hopes up too high. I just keep telling myself it's helping remove extra fluid build up that otherwise would be counter productive. That next day was my first day handling everything on my own. I think I may have done a little too much. The drain output is a good indicator of too much activity. It had gotten fuller than usual. So I'm having to really work on resting and recovery. I also drove for the first time post op bc I needed to get bread and milk. DH had to go back to work. So I siked myself up to venture out. It was a quick trip after all bc my daughter wanted to go in and get what we needed by herself. So I waited in the car. I'm glad she did because I really didn't want to get out. I'm pretty sure I looked a mess. Lol Updated on 23 Jan 2016: Well I was hoping it would miss me. Unfortunately, I've been noticing my mood dipping low. Im grumpy and having bouts of sadness. To top it all off, our puppy got run over and killed yesterday. I feel awful about it and deeply saddened. I let him out in the back yard and became busy with taking care of the children and myself. Apparently, it happened while I was in the shower. It takes quite a while longer for me at this stage of the game. I didn't find out about the puppy until hours later when I found a note in my mailbox from one of the neighbors. He had attempted to notify us but there was no answer at the door. He must have come by when I was showering and getting dressed bc I didn't hear the door. So I'm really struggling with sadness even more now. I hope all is well with the rest of the ladies recovering from surgery. Updated on 25 Jan 2016: Little by little I have been feeling better. Yesterday was so nice outside. It was sunny and pretty warm. This year has been strange, weather wise, in east Texas. I was so glad it was nice out so I could let the little ones play outside. I ended up sitting in a lawn chair in the sun. I even took a short nap. It was really nice to get out of the house. Updated on 26 Jan 2016: Healing nicely Updated on 27 Jan 2016: I had a quick appt today to have the last drain removed. It feels great to have them out. The insertion area was getting a bit tender. I hope everyone is healing well. Good luck to everyone with upcoming surgery. Updated on 8 Feb 2016: I went back to work last Monday. I still fatigue easily but thankfully everything went smoothly. I had a great week. I did notice an increase in swelling in the late afternoon. So, I had to plan for quick easy meals in the evening bc I needed to rest. I was pretty wiped by the time I got off work, picked up the kids and prepared a quick meal. I also got all the stitches out. My incision sites are healing well. I was warned to continue activity restrictions for a few more weeks in order to avoid seromas. Being a mom of little ones, I tend to do more than I should. I just have to really make myself put some of these household chores aside for now. I hope everyone is doing well.
This is my 4th surgery with DrHawner in 8 years, tt, eyelids, a cyst removed and now a breast lift with small implants. i have. Been so very happy with him and his staff. It has been 2 weeks since the surgery and have seen him twice for checkups and very happy with my size. He is a perfectionist and it shows in his work.

Updated on 4 Sep 2013:
Well I am 25years old. I had my first daughter when I was 21 (2006) by emergency c-section. Pre-pregnancy I weighed 140lbs afterwards I was at 160, it would've been more but I lost about 15lbs in the first trimester due to sickness. I had my second daughter in 2007 only 13months later. I topped out at 178 after that pregnancy which was a repeat c-section. I have a good amount of stretchmarks, but only a few above my belly button, and a flap above the c-section scar. My hubby made a deal with me that if I could get to my pre-pregnancy weight he would buy me the tummy tuck that I have wanted for a long time. With that motivation I started dieting and exercising regularly. I jog about 3miles everday now. When I started I could barely go 3min and now I feel great after jogging for 30min. I went from 178lbs to 134lbs. I am actually thinner now than before kids. Whoo Whoo! It's super tough to stay on a diet and excercise plan though, I dread it almost everyday. But I do love the way I look now, and after the removal of the saggy skin, which is worse since I lost 44lbs, and most of the stretchmarks, I should feel amazing about myself. My doctor has told me I will have an awesome result, since I have lost the weight and am in great physical shape. I have scheduled my surgery for August 20, so it's about 3 1/2 wks away. I am super excited and ready to see the results. I handled the pain with the c-sections like there was none. I was up and walking the halls as soon as I woke from the anesthesia. I handle pain overall well so I don't think this will be very difficult for me in that sense. I should probably have mild pain at the most. I can't wait. NO PAIN NO GAIN!! So you won't hear me complain. Updated on 27 Jul 2010: Ok I've uplodaded the pics of my weightloss now. Updated on 6 Aug 2010: Ok so I've started taking 500mg Vitamin C twice daily to promote healing, as recommened by my PS. I also ordered some pre and post op vitamins and supplements, wedge pillows, and ice pack. One of the supplements are suppose to help with bruising and swelling after surgery. We'll see how it works! The wedge pillows are for the support needed to take pressure of the incision site. I got one for my kness to to support circulation. I got a large size ice pack. I've been told to ice 20min on-40min off, every hour. I am going to get the silicone healing sheets within the next couple weeks. I have heard good things about them and am excited to see how they help the appearance of my scar. Updated on 9 Aug 2010: Ok well my hubby and I had a talk about the recovery period earlier today and he is bummed out about the 3 weeks off of "physical activity". We are going to be celebrating our 5th wedding ann. soon so we are still basically newlyweds and both pretty young as I'm 25 and he's 27 so we average about 12x a week of "physical activity" time. Lol. Does anyone have any advice on the subject? Was it 3 weeks for everybody out there?? Please tell me no... Updated on 16 Aug 2010: Pre-op appointment was today. It went quickly I thought. I went to Dr. Hawners office to sign the consent forms and get my binder and iodine swabs. Then I head over to Longview Regional Hospital to pre-register. I filled out the paperwork, paid the $2000 hospital fee, and had blood drawn. That was it. They gave me paperwork to take home and I was outta there. Now I will be going back on Friday at 6am for surgery! I'm so excited and ready to do it!! Updated on 20 Aug 2010: Well I am home now. I made it!! I am extremely nausiated (excuse the spelling) but other than that I'm alright. The pain is tolerable, not too bad. I'm ready to crash, so I will update later. Updated on 23 Aug 2010: Added postop 3day pics Updated on 25 Aug 2010: Had my first postop appointment today. It went good. I had my left drain take out and the guaze removed from my new bellybutton. Dr. Hawner said everything looks good and to keep doing what I'm doing. I was itching really bad and had called the office to ask about it. Racheal told me it was probably the medication and said I could take benadryl with it or switch to a different pain pill, only it would be weaker. I switched to darvocet since I'm not having much pain anyways. Problem solved. Updated on 30 Aug 2010: Post op day 10. Well I have been off the pain meds for a few days now. I quit taking them after day 6. I have my second post op appointment on Wednesday the 1st. I think I will have my second drain taken out then and the stitches as well. Most of my swelling is gone now and hopefully the rest will be gone within a week or so. I will update picks when the other drain and stitches are out. I had no bm until day 7. Yikes. I was taking dulcolax and miralax two days before and everyday after surgery with no luck. Finally my husband got me exlax pills and broke them in half. I know it says not to do that on the instructions but I took two like that and the problem was solved. So if you have issues with that, and I'm sure you will, that's what you need to do. I don't have much pain, just tightness in the abdomen and muscle spasms. I guess that's a sign that they are getting back to work. I haven't been doing too much. I went to the grocery store a couple of times with my mimi to stock up on fruit and veggies and cleaned up the kitchen a few days ago. My husband has been trying to keep the house clean and look after the girls, but it's a bit difficult for him, and I get irritated with clutter. Overall everythings good and I will update after the next appointment. Updated on 17 Sep 2010: 4 week post op pics Updated on 4 Nov 2010: I started P90X today. Day 1! Whoo whoo! Only 89 more to go... I am really happy with my tt results. I'm so glad I did it! It was questionable at first, the scar seemed so high and the stretchmarks were bumpy and weird looking...you can see in the pics with the orange shirt, I think like around week 2. It was bad. But it all smoothed out and the scar seems lower now since I have really flattened out. So I am happy! Still in the gym 6days a week and maintaining my goal weight. So all is good. Can't wait to see the difference after I finsih P90X. I will upload new pics at week 4, 8, and 13 when it's all over! Updated on 15 Jan 2011: pic of tattoo outline and shading Updated on 20 Feb 2011: Yeah got my tattoo finished!! It's swollen in the pic but I'll upload another when its healed.
