Dr. Daugherty and her staff are so AMAZING! Never have I felt so loved and cared for by any doctor’s office. They all truly care about me and want me to feel and look my best and to live my best life. Dr. Daugherty will literally sit directly in front of you, intentionally listen to your questions, and answer each question. I am so glad I chose her for my procedure. Dr. Daugherty is the absolute BEST surgeon! I am going to post my entire story below in hopes that it can help someone else who may be struggling to decide on a surgeon or whether they should do whatever procedure is on their mind. On 12/30/22, I had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Daugherty. My story with Dr. Daugherty’s office began by viewing her website. I noticed how great the before and after pictures looked on all her patients. I didn’t just look at the gynecomastia patients, I looked at every single picture of every procedure. The one theme amongst all the pictures is that Dr. Daugherty delivers GREAT and natural looking results. I also read her story of how she persevered through so many challenges during her surgical training and came out victorious. My thought process in choosing Dr. Daugherty is that, if she would fight that hard to become such an amazing surgeon, how much harder would she fight for me to get the results I wanted? I now know the answer to my question. She will do whatever is necessary to deliver the best results for her patients. She is a perfectionist and holds herself to a high standard of excellence. I knew I needed to call and schedule an appt with her. I filled out the contact form on the website and figured someone would reach out to me soon. Mrs. Katie, the patient coordinator, set up a call with me the very next day. I remember Mrs. Katie calling me at our scheduled time and I was debating whether I should answer. Every other patient coordinator I had spoken to previously, just wanted my credit card info so they could check their box for the day and go on to the next patient. I answered the phone and was pleasantly surprised by the kindness and honesty of Mrs. Katie. She is like your personal cheerleader, life coach, and guidance counselor all in one. She was so open and honest about everything involved with my procedure. She explained pre/post op info and all costs. I remember her saying, “we don’t like surprising our patients”. I can confirm that is true. I have been told everything up front. There were no hidden costs or fees. Mrs. Katie took the time to listen to my story and to get to know me personally. I wasn’t just her 2:30 nuisance. I am forever indebted to Mrs. Katie, as I never would have booked my consult if she had not been so caring and kind to me. I had my consult on 11/14/22. As I walk into Dr. Daugherty’s office, I was greeted by the brightest and friendliest smile of anyone in the south. Mrs. Abby is so welcoming at the front desk. She made all the check in and paperwork process so easy. Also, once they know your name, they actually call you by your name. They want to know you personally. This isn’t one of those offices where you write your name on a piece of paper and drop it into a basket until they call you by your last name because they don’t know who you are, they will know your name. You are somebody to them. You matter and your story matters. The office is beautiful, and the waiting area has a beautiful couch to sit on while you have brief waiting period. Grab you a cup of coffee, but you won’t be waiting long so drink it fast. From the very moment you hear the soft, heartwarming voice of Mrs. Mary, you know everything is going to be ok and that you are in the best of care. She is such an amazing and caring nurse. Mrs. Mary is so gentle and kind when speaking with you and reviewing all medical info and history. She is very thorough in explaining all pre/post op requirements and planning. I am a very nervous patient at any doctor’s office, but Mrs. Mary helped me to remain calm. Trust her when she says, “we are going to take good care of you”. At my consult, Mrs. Mary recorded all my medical history and vitals. She cares so much about her patients and just makes everything so easy. When Dr. Daugherty enters a room, her smile immediately lights up the room. As I said above, she actually let me ask questions and intentionally listened to my questions. I have been to doctors appts where they ask you if you have any questions as they are opening the door to leave and only give you seconds to respond. Dr. Daugherty doesn’t do that, she wants you to ask questions. Your consult is your time to ask anything. She will make time for you. I am an extremely nervous patient, and I am always nervous around doctors. I struggled a bit at my consult just because I was so nervous. I skipped lunch that day because I was so nervous. Dr. Daugherty was so kind though. She explained everything about my procedure and answered all my questions. I knew I had made the right choice and was ready to book my surgery. Mrs. Katie reviewed all the pricing with me for my procedure. We went ahead and booked my procedure for 12/30/22 at the Baton Rouge General Center for Health. I had my Pre-op appt 3 weeks prior to surgery and reviewed the whole surgical plan with Dr. Daugherty. Mrs. Mary ensured I understood all post-op care. Everything was set to go. Mrs. Mary stayed in contact with me leading up to my surgery day to make sure I had all my information and prescriptions. She didn’t leave out a single detail. On my surgery day, everyone at BRG Center for Health was so nice to me. My pre-op nurses were Mrs. Carly and Mrs. Lucy. They helped me get into the gown and get comfortable. I was extremely nervous the IV start was going to hurt, but it was easy and very quick. I met with the CRNA, Mrs. Emily and went over several things regarding general anesthesia. Dr. Daugherty came in the pre-op area to make her surgical markings and make sure I was good to go. It wasn’t very long after that I was getting my “margarita”, as Mrs. Emily called it, in my IV. I remember them wheeling me down the hallway, through a double door and then paused for what seemed like a few seconds. I am not sure what happened for the next few hours after that. I woke up in the PACU with Mrs. Mia checking on me. She was a very nice nurse and really made sure I was comfortable. I guess you could say my first date with an anesthesiologist was not a very memorable one. But would you want it to be memorable? That’s something for you to ponder. Dr. Daugherty cares so much about me that she met me at her office along with Mrs. Mary on the Saturday of New Year’s Eve to remove my surgical drains and ensure everything was doing well before I headed back home. They truly care about their patients. Another doctor may have just had me send a picture or wait until the next week to see a nurse, but not Dr. Daugherty. I have seen Dr. Daugherty at every single appt I have had. I can’t wait for my next follow up to check on my progress. As I said previously, I am such a nervous patient. My procedure was so easy. For nearly 10 years, I put off having my surgery because I was afraid. I feared the pain I might feel. I feared going under anesthesia. I feared talking to a doctor about it. I feared having to remove my shirt for a doctor to see and feel the breast tissue. For 10 years, I wreaked havoc on my mind over the image I had of myself in my head. For 10 years, I let gynecomastia win the battle over my mind and I let it steal my confidence. From the way I would sit to the way I would walk to the clothes I would wear; I was letting gynecomastia win in every aspect of my life and was letting it steal my joy. After a very short procedure, its all over with. All the worry is GONE! The gynecomastia is GONE and will never return. I am not even a week from having my surgery at the time I am writing this review, but there is such a significant change in my chest size and shape. Even with the post-surgical swelling, its still so much smaller and flatter than it ever has been. I am so grateful for Dr. Daugherty. The before and after pics on her website do not even compare to how I look and feel at this point early into the healing process. The pain has really been very minimal following the procedure. Mrs. Mary explained the aftercare so well that I have not had any issues. My friend, if you are reading this review, chances are you are in the same boat I was in out in the middle of the sea of uncertainty. You have probably researched dozens of surgeons and websites just like I did, and you are wondering how you can trust someone to do what you want them to do. I can’t promise you that Dr. Daugherty will make your wildest dreams come true, but I can promise you she will listen to everything you have to say. I can promise your story matters to Dr. Daugherty and everyone on her staff. You MATTER! I have personally experienced the artistic perfection of Dr. Daugherty and can tell you she will fight with all her might to provide you the best result for you. You deserve to call Dr. Daugherty’s office and set up a consult. That’s the first step in freeing your mind from whatever is holding you back from being the best version of yourself. You can call your local butcher or taxidermist and they can definitely change your appearance, but if you want true life changing results from a doctor and staff who truly care, you owe it to yourself to call Dr. Daugherty’s office. I have done a lot of research on plastic/cosmetic surgeons, and I will tell you, you will not find another like Dr. Daugherty. Don’t delay, give Mrs. Katie a call today. Don’t keep putting things off and beating yourself up. Waiting will cost you more than any surgical procedure. Waiting costs, you your joy, happiness, and peace of mind. Dr. Daugherty and her staff are going to make everything so easy for you. All you must do is trust them and relax. Calling Mrs. Katie is like hitting the “EASY” button. I also believe you will be pleasantly surprised at their procedure costs; I know I was. I hope my story can help someone struggling in the same way I was. Before and after pictures do not even begin to describe how I feel at only 1 week post op. I can't wait to see how I progress over the next several weeks and months. Dr. Daugherty is truly an artist and I am glad I got to be one of her canvases. To Dr. Daugherty, Mrs. Mary, Mrs. Katie, and Mrs. Abby, thank you all for impacting my life in so many positive ways. Thanks for making a difference in my life. You all are unequivocally THE BEST! Updated on 11 Apr 2023: Not really sure how to begin this update, so I will just give it to you straight and raw. I am just over 3 months post-op. Last week I entered a meeting room with several executives from 3 different companies. I was by far the youngest person in the room and the least experienced from the management side of things. I was able to walk into the room with my head held high, chest up, and full of confidence. I was able to command the respect and attention of everyone in the room. Typically, I would have at back in my seat and tried my best to go unnoticed. I probably would have been hunched over trying to avoid having my large breasts showing through my shirt. I attribute this improved confidence to Dr. Daugherty and everything she did to help me. I absolutely love my results. I am so glad I chose Dr. Daugherty. I am still noticing changes in my chest as I continue to maintain a healthy diet and exercise. I am so excited to see what the future holds. I am so thankful for Dr. Daugherty and her amazing staff. They have treated me so well at every single appt. Every office visit, phone call, and text message has been so positive and encouraging from day one. I have loved so many things about my visits before and after surgery, but one thing that stands out is how available Dr. Daugherty has been throughout. She was at every single appt I had before and after surgery. The kindness she has shown me is overwhelming. Dr. Daugherty is a highly skilled surgeon who truly cares about her patients and seeks to deliver the very best results. I am well on my way to being the best version of myself thanks to Dr. Daugherty. I hope other people get to experience the one of a kind care at Daugherty Plastic Surgery! . Please do yourself a favor and give them a call.
Dr. Daugherty is a very thorough and attentive physician. She is honest and upfront regarding possible results, took her time educating me on the different features of implant types and profiles. She scheduled an additional pre-op consult to ensure I received the best possible result. I was also interested in getting lipo and she was very upfront about the loose skin lipo can cause when not paired with a tummy tuck. I appreciate her honesty. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a natural result and open lines of communication. She’s a JEWEL!
Thank you so much! I never imagined how much my tummy tuck would change my life. I'm 64. I didn't realize how unhappy I was and how my problem areas held me back. I now have and appreciate what I took for granted in my youth. I am confident once again. My personality has come to life again. Your staff has made me feel so special. I am truly blessed to be a client of such precious and tender spirited young ladies. Thank you again. From the Heart, Dane
AMAZING! From my first appointment Dr. Daughtery has been the best surgeon. I really appreciated that she gave me her opinion and valued mine/my mother’s opinion on getting a breast augmentation. Dr. Daughtery truly cares about her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Daughtery and her staff!
I’ve wanted a rhinoplasty for years. I never thought that I would trust a surgeon in Baton Rouge, until I met Dr. Daugherty and instantly fell in love! She was extremely honest and I felt comfortable during the whole process starting with my consultation. I’ve heard so many rhinoplasty horror stories and can’t believe that I had such an amazing experience. She gave me exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be more happy with my results. Everyone was great from the front desk to the nurses. They took amazing care of me and I would do it 1000 times over again. I would recommend Dr. Daugherty to anyone. She’s definitely the best!
I am so grateful for Dr. Roybn and the entire staff at Weiler Plastic Surgery! Everything from the initial consultation to the final follow-up appointment was easy, encouraging and comforting. Dr. Robyn is a truly gifted surgeon with a heart of an angel. Each visit with her and every staff member (pre-op, post-up, check-ups) have all been remarkable. I highly recommend Dr. Robyn and Weiler Plastic Surgery!
Dr. Daugherty was amazing. She took the time to explain the entire procedure to me. I had a few concerns bc I wanted lipo and skin removal but not a tummy tuck. She explained to me that the best procedure for me would be a “mini” tummy tuck which did not involve the pulling of any muscles. She was always available via cell phone anytime I needed her. My results are amazing despite me being nervous about having the procedure.
Dr. Robyn is wonderful, as well as the nurses! I was a little nervous entering a new place, but was welcomed with by friendly (masked) faces and my nervousness disappeared instantly. Dr. Robyn was very patient and helped with suggestions on products and placement of Botox and Lip filler. My follow up experience was just as great at the initial visit and I will definitely be going back!
Dr. Daugherty did an amazing job on my surgery. She’s very professional but friendly during all pre-op and post-op appointments as well. Her staff also addressed any concerns quickly and are easily accessible.
Dr. Daugherty is an excellent surgeon! She took the time to explain all my options She was completely honest every step of the way, and provided excellent service. She cares for her patients, and her staff (Tabitha and Maegan) were amazing. I am so happy with my outcome, and I can’t thank her enough! Besides the end result, the best thing about this experience was Dr. Daugherty and her staff. A surgical procedure can be overwhelming, but Dr. Daugherty and her staff (nurse, consultant, and all the OR staff) ensured I was well informed, and I am so thankful for that! I have so much more confidence after my procedure! I would highly recommend Weiler Plastic Surgery!
Hi kellykips, Thank you for your question! Unfortunately it is difficult to determine if you would be an excellent candidate for these procedures without photos. I recommend scheduling an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area. Best of luck!
There is no link between birth control pills and capsular contracture in breast implants. Birth control pills contain low dose hormones to alter your reproductive cycle. You should talk to your OB-Gyn about risks for cancer, especially if you have a family history of breast, ovarian or endometrial cancer or blood clots. There are multiple options for birth control, and not all contain hormones.
Hi meme1040. Thanks for your question. It seems like you have some loose skin under your umbilicus. It would be helpful to see a preoperative photo for comparison. Postoperative swelling can take months to go down, and most surgeons wait at least 6 months prior to any revisions for that reason. I would talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Make sure you are wearing your post operative compression garment for optimal results as well.
Hi chrismarley01. Thanks for your question. I would prioritize whichever procedure is more important to you. A bra strap excision should take less time than a breast reduction. If a super extended tummy tuck is a lower body lift or circumferential lower body lift, your surgeon will have to reposition you during the case anyway. You will have to be repositioned for a bra strap excision. As long as your surgeon is confident in performing both procedures under 6hours either combination will be safe.
Hi LiftMom - Wounds heal best in a slightly moist environment. I would keep the wound clean (showers 2x daily and no tub baths or swimming pools), apply a thin shiny layer (not goopy) of bacitracin ointment and cover with a bandaid. Also, since you have an implant in place, I would be seeing you or at the very least have a nurse seeing you and taking photos of progress weekly until you are completely healed. The worst possible situation at this point is that the wound progresses and you have infection and impending implant loss. Best of luck! I hope you are healed soon!
