Virgil Willard, MD (retired)

Dr.Willard has performed several procedures for me. I've had upper and lower eyelids, liposuction, botox, blue facial peels and I have had fantastic results. My eyelids procedure was done about 15 years ago and the results are still pleasing to me. As I am nearing 60 the eyes are typically the first to show your aging and the extra skin can make you feel and look tired all the time, since the procedure I don't have to worry about this. Now I'm wanting a butt, chin and boob lift and Dr. Willard is my go to guy. I don't waste my time looking for other doctors because he and his team provide me with excellent care and results. I don't have before and afters but I do have a recent photo and I don't look 60 thanks to the procedures.

I first met Dr. Willard in 2000 for a breast augmentation and was so pleased with the results that I came back to him for a full tummy tuck with liposuction in February of 2020. Although I am still early in the healing process I can see such an improvement and am again thrilled with the result. Dr. Willard is so kind, compassionate, and professional. His staff is also amazing. I intend to consult him for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty next. Thank you, Dr. Willard and staff!

I was terrified and couldn't be more excited with my results so far. I'm still a bit sore as I'm only a few days post op, but they look pretty great and I have only minimal pain. Office and staff were wonderful. The recovery nurse drove me crazy talking. I was in a bit of pain after and she talked what seemed like non-stop. Taking pain meds mostly to prevent pain/strain over holiday fun. Surgery took about an hour or two and my incisions look amazing. I went subpectoral and through armpits. Can't wait for final result.

Almost at one week. I have my PO apt tomorrow. I haven't had any meds in a couple days and am a little tender. It's almost a burning sensation and my nipples are super sensitive. My transaxillary scars seem a bit low (more side boob than pit) but not much I can do about that now. They look good. They have dropped some and I'm a bit nervous that they are going to be huge. I wanted a full c... I am worrried I will be at least a DD, but trusting the doc. He suggested 425 cc mentor saline and he's the expert

So Yesterday was my postop. Basically I feel like it was a waste of time. I should have made a list of questions. They showed me the massage and said see you in a few months. Starting to be concerned that they are bigger than I wanted, though I expressed my desire for side several times. Let's just hope I don't end up a DD. I also feel like my incision is really low- side boob. How the heck will I cover that up in a swimsuit.

I have morning boob, which is apparently a thing. The burning sensation has gone away in the left pit and for the most part they are quite comfortable. I haven't taken anything besides at night (basically because I can't sleep on my back). They seem to be dropping some. My nipples seem hypersensitive and huge. Hopefully they get a little smalller. They often have a sensation as they did when I was nursing and my breasts needed to be expressed. They also seem to be coming together a lot. I massage them constantly lol. It actually seems to make them more comfortable. I can feel the implant edges on the bottom and sides, but im quite pleased so far. My armpit scars still seem too low. I just hope they go away by summer. I've been using mederma religiously.

Dr. Virgil Willard is the supervising physician who allows Tammy Rice, RN to administer Botox Cosmetic to patients at Saving Face of High Point. My first time getting Botox Cosmetic was with Tammy Rice, RN at Saving Face beside the Piedmont Plastic Surgery location. I received 25 units (12.5 per crow’s feet at $15 per unit). After it took effect I have what Tammy called “Frozen Face”. My smile looked strained with “chipmunk” cheeks and the wrinkles under my eyes gathered. When not smiling there was a subtle droop that existed where my mouth and cheek meet. I returned to the office distraught, Tammy Rice offered no remedy. She made it clear that it was unfortunate and there are no refunds. Because of how I was treated and the results, I do not recommend this office.

5 days post-op and so far so good. My main issue is having bowel movement because I am afraid to try...any suggestions? Have 2 drains and my output has diminished, feel like they are pulling, experiencing stings. No issues with breast reduction at all. The tummy tuck and hip lipo were a lot and I didn't realize how much I use stomach muscles daily. Getting out the recliner was horrible!! Sleep better propped up in bed. Needless to say, standing up is a chore, really anything involving lower body. Will post before and after pics this week...
