Richard J. Bruneteau, MD

My experience with Dr. Bruneteau (and his staff) so far has been amazing!

I lost about 275 lbs over a three year period. Obviously, I have a lot that could be done to help change my appearance when it comes to removal of loose skin. I had my initial consultation with Dr. Bruneteau before I had met my goal weight just because I wanted somebody to educate me on the best approach for someone in my category. And I knew that Dr. Bruneteau had worked with patients who had lost the kind of weight I had and more.

I have to share that my first in-person impression of Dr. Bruneteau is something I will always remember, and for a pretty simple gesture. I was sitting in the waiting room about 10 minutes before my appointment. He was passing through the walkway and he looked over and said hello. Then he said "we're meeting in a few minutes, right?" I said "yes, sir!". He then walked over, shook my hand, and introduced himself and said "see you shortly". This may not sound like that big of a deal. But he didn't know me, had never met me, didn't know anything about me at this point. And I'm sure he was busy. But he made the time to come over and introduce himself when he could have just waited to do that once my appointment started. So, that was my first impression of Dr. Bruneteau. And that is a true representation of who he is as a person and a doctor.

During my consultation, he answered every one of my questions, asked me a few questions, and gave me detailed information to educate me on what he felt would be the best strategy for me. He took all of the time that I needed and I never felt rushed. He encouraged me to keep losing as much weight as I can and come back to see him in 6 months. So, I went back 6 months later (in June of 2024), and he approved me for a 360-lower-body lift that day.

On the day of the surgery, I was very well taken care of by the nurse assigned to me. Everyone involved was wonderful. The surgery itself went well. I believe it took just over 3 hours. And Dr. Bruneteau removed 31.5 lbs of loose skin from my mid-section (front and back).

I came back the next morning for my first follow-up, and that was when he took my binder off for the first time so that I could see the initial result. And I cried because I was so happy. He did an amazing job! I could not be happier! I'm now 4-weeks post-op and it continues to look better and better as the swelling continues to go down.

I've seen Dr. Bruneteau every week since the surgery for follow-up appointments to make sure healing is going well and that any other hiccups are addressed. The aftercare by Dr. Bruneteau and his team has been outstanding. And when I've called the office a few times with questions, they are always courteous and are able to help me in a timely manner. I am so impressed with this place.

I plan to have more work done as soon as Dr. Bruneteau clears me to do so, hopefully in the early part of 2025. I want to do my upper-body and thighs next.

The last thing I'll say for now is this... I have spent most of my life being ashamed and embarrassed about how I look. And any time I've had to go to see a doctor and have to remove my clothes, I feel extremely uncomfortable and worried about judgment. I know they've seen it all. But that's how my brain works... Anyway, I want to say that, even in the most vulnerable moments during this process, I have always felt comfortable with whoever I was working with that day. You can tell that, as a business, the entire staff goes the extra mile to make sure their patients feel comfortable. And that is not an easy accomplishment.

Thank you, Dr. Bruneteau! You've changed my life! (I'll add before & after pictures once I'm done healing and we do the after pics)

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Bruneteau for my breast lift and augmentation. The results exceeded my expectations—my breasts look full, natural, and beautifully proportioned. From the consultation to the follow-up appointments, I felt confident and well-cared for every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with my results and highly recommend Dr. Bruneteau for anyone considering this procedure!

I had a great experience at aesthetic surgical images. Dr. Bruneteau was very knowledgeable, and did an amazing job with my surgery. I got a rhinoplasty, and it looks better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

My surgical experience with Dr. Bruneteau and his team was amazing. The time they spend with you to discuss sizing, the procedure and the recovery process is amazing. They are friendly at every pre and post op visit and very informative every step of the process.

Very helpful and answered all questions very informative. Made both me and my husband feel very comfortable with the whole process and even after. All staff were helpful, caring and answered all questions right away. Highly recommended!

Dr. Bruneteau and his staff are amazing! I was referred to him from another happy client, and I can’t speak too highly about their kindness and professionalism. Dr. Bruneteau really went the extra mile. I’m so happy I took his recommendations, and he’s great with husbands. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Highly recommend

Dr Bruneteau does great work, to the point. He is confident in what he can do. All my questions were answered. Pre op exam I felt was rushed with Dr and there was a long wait. There are a lot of appointments which is good to make sure everything is healing. You will need to adjust your work and kids schedule. Post op visits were quick and Dr was really happy how my procedure went and confident that I'll love the outcome.

Surgery was the only option for me. I had a 3 inch long by 1 inch wide diastasis recti, small hernia, and 3 to 4 inches of extra skin from having my three kids. Certain exercises were tried and over the years my hernia was getting bigger.

Dr. Bruneteau did an amazing job on my breast implants. I am very happy with my results. Thankful I chose him as my surgeon. Him and his staff were very professional from the consultation to all my post op-appointments.

I had an amazing experience with dr b! He explained everything and gave me realistic expectations. My biggest criteria for getting a tummy tuck was to have a normal looking belly button and he delivered! His staff was so nice and relatable. I would 100 percent recommend dr bruneteau!

After meeting Dr. Bruneteau. I knew I only wanted him to do my surgery. Dr. Bruneteau is the most compassionate, skilled surgeon you will meet. I highly trust his words and his work. I didn’t have an easy case and he handled it perfectly. He’s the best!
