I had a SMAS Facelift with CO2 laser resurfacing in December 2024. The results are fantastic. I am so glad that I got the CO2 resurfacing, as it got rid of the "mesh" marks left from medium-level CO2 laser treatments I had received about six years ago (medium-level CO2 is known to leave marks...I still recommend it anyway). Dr Hobgood is absolutely lovely, and he is a wonderful surgeon as well (those two don't necessarily go hand-in-hand). His staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and yet always professional. If I could give more starts, I would. I haven't had any poor experiences with this medical practice, and would not hesitate to recommend Dr Hobgood at anyone considering facial surgery. You won't regret getting CO2 resurfacing, and it was a much easier recovery than the medium-level CO2 (that was a nice surprise). I gave Dr Hobgood permission to put my photos on his website because I would not look like I do without him. I was 55 when I had the surgery. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer, and that I chose Dr Hobgood.
I recently underwent a deep plane face lift with Dr. Hobgood and I cannot say enough good things about him and his excellent staff. My husband works in the medical field and researched surgeons until we found the best in the field. From the very beginning, Dr. Hobgood made the experience relaxed and enjoyable with his professional demeanor, great sense of humor, and his trustworthy set of skills and knowledge. He really takes the time to consult with you and determine the best procedure for each case. His credentials alone are incredible and he is so informative and thorough, it’s obvious he cares for his patients and loves what he does. After the procedure, he was easy to contact with any questions and made me worry-free. My results are amazing! I look 15 years younger and the final outcome looks natural and refreshed. I am recommending Dr. Hobgood to anyone looking for the best surgeon with the best outcomes. He is not just Hobgood, he is Hobgreat!!
I have always disliked my nose, specifically the nostrils. It took me years to get the courage to go forward with this procedure because I was very concerned about the complexity and I needed to find the right doctor. As soon as I met Dr. Hobgood, I knew he was the one. He explained the procedure to me in detail and set realistic expectations. You can just tell after talking to him that he knows what he is doing - he is confident but not arrogant. I had to wait a long time for my pre-op appointment and surgery, but it was worth the wait. There is a reason that Dr. Hobgood's schedule is booked for months. After my procedure he followed-up with me to see how I was doing, and I did have a couple of concerns in the days after the surgery that he was more than willing to address. I called him directly and he answered my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Hobgood. He is a kind and talented doctor.
I wanted a rhinoplasty to fix asymmetry of nose, and the side view of nostrils, bulbous tip, hanging columella (sp?). Basically my nose was awful. I also had a lower bleth for the bags under my eyes. Overall the experience was great with Dr Hobgood and his entire team. From start to finish the Ferrari of plastic surgeons and wonderful top-notch team. The final after is day 30. As you likely know, it takes several months for the tip swelling to subside, so I will update this more! Overall I’m very happy.
It's been 6 months since my facial procedures and so very happy with the results. If there were more stars to give I definitely would. Dr. Hobgood and his very knowledgeable and helpful team made the experience open and upfront with what my expectations should be. The whole process has been actually easier than I thought and very comfortable. Each team member has been professional and helpful at every turn. The follow-up the night before and after the procedures by the doctor via phone was reassuring and comforting. Dr. Hobgood understood my want to just be a better version of myself now that I'm in my mid 60's. He is very personable and took the time to listen to what I was wanting to achieve. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He also came highly recommended by two friends. I now understand those accolades!
I received rhinoplasty and a chin augmentation 1 week ago from Dr. Hobgood. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. Throughout this entire process I was treated so kindly by not only Dr. Hobgood but also by his entire staff. He was so informative and answered all of my questions and addressed everything I was nervous about in great detail. I researched this extensively and went to 3 different consults before choosing him because he just made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I am one week post opp and so far extremely happy with my results even with my swollen face. I know Dr. Hobgood is extremally busy and is likely spread very thin so the fact that he took the time to call me the day before surgery and the day after and continued to follow up throughout the week I felt was above and beyond. So a big thank you to him and his team for the outstanding service and kindness they provided.
The best. Period. I work in multiple surgery centers in the area for a different specialty, and when I asked around staff who was the best in the area for anything in facial surgery every single person had Dr. Hobgood at the top of their list. He is meticulous and genuinely cares about every single patient. Everyone at his office is amazing and so kind. Finding him and going through with the surgery I waited years for is one of the best decisions I made.
As a 21 year old, I have been wanting a Rhinoplasty since I was 11 years old. I finally had the courage to consult with a few plastic surgeons ranging from Beverly Hills to Las Vegas, but I didn't feel comfortable and confident enough to go through with the surgery after their consultations until I miraculously came across Dr. Todd Hobgood. As soon as I met with him at the consultation, i felt a sense of relief and all of my nerves diminished. He actually listened to everything I had to say as if I was his only patient. Not to mention he knew things about my nose that even myself and the other surgeons did not know or point out. After the surgery, I instantly knew I made the best decision of my life and that I was in good hands. The recovery process was better than I could ever imagine, I had VERY minimal pain and bruising and Dr. Hobgood personally called and checked up on me to ensure I was doing ok even though he knew how well he did and how well I was doing. My nose turned out to be better than I expected, even with the swelling. It is an amazing feeling to say I have a actual cute functioning nose. I am honestly shocked that he does not have more recognition than he does, he deserves to have his own tv show! I will never forget Dr. Hobgood and what he has done for me; I will be forever grateful. I cannot thank you enough Todd Christopher Hobgood!
So I’m not big on leaving reviews but my results most definitely have warranted one. So I'll give you guys a quick summary on why I chose Dr.Hobgood for my rhinoplasty revision. About a year ago I had primary rhinoplasty and the results were far less than desirable which caused a lot of mental and emotional distress the symmetry was not there and from Day 1 of taking the cast off, I knew that it was not going to be ok. He shaved way too much of my bone so my profile was what they called “Polly-beak”. So after months of hoping it was going to get better nothing happened it still looked “off”. So I decided on the 10th month after my primary rhinoplasty to start consultations with facial plastic surgeons so when my one year mark came I would be able to fix it. Now I live in Las Vegas and I wanted to chose a surgeon who just did facial work I looked up double board certified facial plastic surgeons in Las Vegas Phoenix and Los Angeles and I saw great work by Dr.Hobgood. Dr.Hobgood was my first consultation and then I had two other in Los Angeles. I didn’t really find a doctor I was that comfortable with in Vegas to handle my case. So the reason why I chose Dr.Hobgood over the two other doctors that I saw was that from the start of the consultation I knew that Hobgood was an expert in his field and he just comes across extremely genuine, kind, honest, and knowledgeable. He also is honest by telling you there is no such thing as perfection (because what is perfection to start with) but there are major improvements that we can make.He was not pushy at all and I felt like a revision was not necessarily needed but if I wanted a more structured appearance then that we could work on. He talked me through those improvements which were building my dorsal which will get rid of that “Polly-beak” and that will provide me with a more masculine and structured appearance. He explained to me why my nose in my primary rhinoplasty did that exhibit the results that were intended and that was because I have thicker skin and there are certain ways my nose cannot look like. That’s why I chose him because he stood out to me he is just realistic and honest and wants to give you the best improvements that fit your face with the most natural looking outcome!! And of course, that’s what the outcome was !! I am two weeks postop and I am so ecstatic about the results like completely different from my primary rhinoplasty when I just wanted to be a hermit even months after. My nose looks so good it has that sharp profile that I was looking for and I CANNOT wait to see how better its going to look in 6 months from now when most of the swelling has gone down. His staff is extremely nice and the whole experience was carefree and stress-free because I knew I was in good hands. If I ever have any inquiries about a future procedure regarding a facial cosmetic surgery Dr.Todd Hobgood is my guy! His name should be Dr. Todd Good-nose because I could not have asked for better results !! Updated on 14 Apr 2019: You can see my profile is straight unlike the other picture where it’s scooped in on the bridge of the nose. This is with a cartilage implant harvest with ear cartilage. Still healing I have thick skin, so I’m extremely eager to view final results in a years time
In the words of my husband as we were leaving my postoperative appointment, "Man, Dr. Hobgood is the absolute perfect example of what/how a doctor should be". It's beyond true. Not only is he a talent and knowledgeable surgeon, his bedside manner and care for his patients is absolutely topnotch. I am so beyond thrilled that I found him for my surgery.
I understand your hesitation given your past experiences with general anesthesia. The good news is that you do have options. While general anesthesia is common during deep plane facelifts, many surgeons use a local anesthetic with light sedation for less invasive facelift procedures. This allows for a more comfortable experience without the recovery challenges associated with general anesthesia. I recommend discussing your medical history and concerns with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to determine the best anesthesia option for you. Be well, Dr. Todd Hobgood
Before your procedure, you must have a thorough medical evaluation, including blood work and a physical exam, to ensure you're in good health. This includes making sure your blood pressure is well controlled to reduce surgical risks. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s pre-op instructions, which may include limiting alcohol consumption and adjusting medications or supplements before surgery. You should also arrange for someone to assist you after surgery and prepare a comfortable recovery space at home. I hope this helps! Be well, Dr. Todd Hobgood
A knowledgeable facial plastic surgeon will use techniques that help you look naturally younger but still like yourself. The signs of a well-done facelift include natural facial contours, a consistent appearance between the face and neck, and properly positioned earlobes. Conversely, watch out for an overly tight or "pulled" look, visible scars around the ears, and limited facial movement. Reviewing the surgeon’s facelift before-and-after photos and asking detailed questions during your consultation are essential. This helps ensure you have realistic expectations about the surgeon’s work and the results you can expect. Be well, Dr. Todd Hobgood
Many men have similar concerns about facial aging. A facelift to address premature jowling and under eye fillers to restore volume and fullness are common solutions, although specific needs are difficult to assess from photos. The best way to accurately determine the proper treatment is by scheduling an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area. Be well and good luck, Dr. Todd Hobgood
Thanks for sharing your photos and concerns. If you’re looking for a less invasive approach, a mini facelift can improve the appearance of jowls and sagging skin in the lower face. However, only a traditional facelift with a neck lift addresses age-related changes in the neck. A facelift isn't usually the best option for addressing lines around the mouth. Dermal fillers, however, are effective for smoothing perioral lines. If you're bothered by the area under your eyes, dermal fillers or lower blepharoplasty can create a smoother, more refreshed look. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation at my practice in Scottsdale. I'll thoroughly assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Be well, Dr. Todd Hobgood
