Amazing Botox and Lip Filler Experience

I originally booked with Dr Dougherty to discuss possibly getting a muscle transfer surgery done for my congenital unilateral lower lip palsy. He was extremely helpful in explaining the options, and overall helped me decide that surgery was not going to be the best fit for me since my facial asymmetry is very minimal. He suggested botox as an alternative to help me with fixing the asymmetry for cosmetic reasons since I am self concious about it. I go back to him every 3 months for more botox and I have even gotten lip filler with him as well. He was very kind and patient when answering all my questions. I recommend him to my friends when they are interested in botox or filler as well. The bottom picture is before. The left side of my mouth pulls down much more visibly and the opposite side muscle does not work enough to pull that side of my smile down. The botox is injected on the left side (my right) so that the lower lip pulls down less and is more even with the opposite side. He also injected some botox above to help with my gummy smile on that side. I am very happy with my results as this greatly affects my self confidence

1 week post-surgery - couldn’t be happier with the result

Dr. Dougherty did an outstanding job with septorhinoplasty 2/23/2023. Dr. Dougherty truly has an amazing gift and skill. He just made a tremendous positive impact in my life. I’m a male in my 40s and I couldn’t be happier with the result; now 1 week post-surgery my nose works and looks great. I just left his office after cast removal. My breathing range through both of my nostrils is amazing; I haven’t felt this way in likely 30 years. My quick story: Before meeting Dr. Dougherty I was not able to breath through my left nostril, and with age, especially last few years it started to become bothersome (snoring at night as well although I’m fit). Dr. Dougherty diagnosed and explained me that I have a deviated septum, along with enlarged turbinates and nasal obstruction. Throughout the entire process, pre-surgery, general anesthesia and post-surgery, Dr. Dougherty and his staff ensured everything went well. I also need to mention that Kotler airway tubes that Dr. Dougherty used after the surgery helped me personally during recovery week. I was basically able to breathe through my nose, day 2-3 past the surgery. That helped with sleep and recovery during this first week. I personally had no pain during the recovery week. I sit here now and enjoy breathing through both of my nostrils; what a range I have !!! Dr. Dougherty, Thank You. I truly appreciate you. Once again, you have an amazing skill, and gift and you’ve just made an incredible impact in my life.

My surgery ended up having no complications and I loved the result instantly after

For years and growing up I had always been teased or made fun of because of my nose. I never felt pretty or liked taking photos because of it. I got sick of it one day and tried to find a doctor who could help and Dr Dougherty was the only one who scheduled a consultation with me. He was kind and assuring and seemed like he understood facial balance. My surgery ended up having no complications and I loved the result instantly after. Each follow up, Dr Dougherty takes care to ensure the swelling is reduced and the nose continues to take one the desired shape. The result has been one that fits my face naturally, but feels softer and fits my face. It’s the perfect balance of no one really knows I look different, but I notice the difference when so many people are constantly complimenting my beauty as opposed to never experiencing that my entire life. My only regret was not doing it sooner. Thank you!

Highly Recommend for Facial Plastic Surgery!

Dr. Dougherty is a very skilled surgeon. I appreciated how he took the time to explain things to me in a way I could understand. His bedside manner put me at ease and I was not nervous at all on the day of my surgery. I am very pleased with my results thus far. I am healing as expected and could not be happier I chose Dr. Dougherty to perform my procedure.

Strongly Recommend

Dr. Dougherty has provided exceptional care since the day I had my consultation. I came to him with a mess of a nose and he fixed it perfectly. He cares about his patients and educates them on the issues at hand. All steps of my procedure were explained with great detail and I could not have asked for a better surgeon/overall experience. Office staff is wonderful as well.

Dr. Daugherty is fantastic

Dr. Daugherty is fantastic. He listens and cares about his patients. He is also super knowledgeable and answers all questions in detail. I was nervous about going through surgery, however Dr. Daugherty took the time to call me beforehand and reassure that I was making the right decision for my long term health. I went in confidently on the day of surgery, and I am so happy with the results. I highly recommend him!
