AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Many women try to regain their pre-baby figure, only to find that diet and exercise alone are not enough to reverse the toll that pregnancy and childbirth have taken on their bodies. Loose skin in the midsection, separated abdominal muscles, deflated breasts, and stubborn pockets of fat are all common effects of childbirth and breastfeeding that can be remedied by a mommy makeover at my Brookline, Massachusetts office.
A mommy makeover is a series of procedures combined into one transformative operation. It is customized to your needs and desires, to produce best aesthetic results for your unique goals and body. While each mommy makeover surgery is different, they typically include some combination of a tummy tuck, breast lift and/or breast augmentation, and liposuction. During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns, and I will recommend the best treatment plan to help you get your body back to its pre-pregnancy form.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
••
As one of the Boston area’s most recognized experts in primary, revision, and reconstructive rhinoplasty, patients seek me out to improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of the nose. This intricate procedure requires skillful sculpting, so it’s essential to choose a surgeon who has both surgical skill and an artistic eye.
Because I am also a craniofacial expert, I intimately understand how the anatomy of the nose and sinus cavity relates to its form and aesthetics. I also work with patients on rhinoplasty revision surgeries, if they’re unhappy with the work of a previous surgeon. During your consultation, I will analyze your nose using computer imaging to evaluate the best proportions and shape that will balance your unique facial features. I will take as much time as necessary to fully understand your goals for your new nose, before creating a personalized surgical plan to make them a reality.

Gender Confirmation Surgery
••
I perform gender confirming top surgery for both female and male transgender patients from the greater Boston area and all over the world. My staff is known for our compassion and sensitivity with our transgender patients, and we make every effort to make our consultations as straightforward and educational as possible. I use WPATH guidelines with each patient, to determine their suitability for gender confirmation top surgery. I am well-versed in the latest studies and techniques and can help inform my patients so they better understand how and why certain techniques will be better suited for their specific needs and body shape.

Everyone was kind and pleasant. It was reassuring that the office opts to have a PA stand in while breast examination is happening without needing a request (I couldn't care less, but I think it speaks of a culture of ensuring client safety, and that I DO care about). Dr. Bartlett is friendly, approachable, and was great at explaining everything without coming across as condescending in any way. As a non-binary person, I felt respected the entire time and would highly recommend

Every person I had to deal with including the nurses, anesthesiologist and of course Dr.Bartlett were so professional, kind and caring. The recovery was much easier than I ever imagined . My nose looks amazing &. natural-exactly how I wanted it. Dr.Bartlett and his team are truly the best of the best, the only thing I regret is not doing this sooner!
Dr. Bartlett is an amazing surgeon. Full stop. The surgical process was incredible from start to finish. Dr. Bartlett and his team did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable as soon as I stepped into the office. I felt very safe and at ease before and after the procedure, even despite my initial anxiety going in (I had never had general anesthesia before FTM top surgery). The care that I received in the weeks following my surgery was also incredible--I had no complications,

In May of 2023, I had a surgery that I have been wanting to do for years. A family friend had introduced me to Dr. Bartlett months earlier when I went in for a consult. He was so honest, professional and put my mind so at ease about my surgery. He and his amazing office staff answered all my questions, explained everything in great detail and put my mind at ease. The day surgery was as equally amazing. The recovery was as painless as it could be, and the follow-up appointments

Beyond the experience, we had an exceptional results both

From communicating with reception, to being able to text a number with any questions pre or post-operation, to the surgery itself and full experience surrounding it- everything went so terrifically that it's hard to pinpoint what the best part of the experience was. Dr. Bartlett is my hero, and I mean that in every sense of the word. I came in for a breast reduction and lift
