Richard L. Nesmith, MD, DMD

I had my breast augmentation on July 2012. I was a 34A and now am a 34C. My doctor is in Gainesville, FL named Dr. Nesmith. He was recommended from my friend who also had her breast done there. I normally do not write reviews but This surgeon is amazing. I came in wanting a 420cc. The surgeon adviced me he will put in as much cc as my breast can handle plus if it looks natural on my body. I wanted my breast to look very natural not fake. In the end I had 360cc saline which is a 34C in my case. I love my breast. They are soft and very natural looking. Most people think it is my breast not implants. Dr. Nesmith is extremely helpful and very nice. His staff is amazing and very helpful. I went in very nervous from Orlando, i never had surgery before. They made me feel right at home. Ps. I have NO weird bag marks on the side of my breast which is something I was worried about prior surgery.

i have always struggled with my weight my entire life even before i had 3 gorgeous kids i had a fat belly. this time last year i weighed around 10 or so and in a size 12 i am down to 140 and down to a size 8 at times that is tight i have always gone up and down like a yoyo but can never seem to lose the belly no matter how hard i work out so i have waited for my children to grow up and decided it is time for me to do something that i have always wanted to do i worked hard for this and i can't wait for the big day to get here. Updated on 1 Jun 2012: OMG I only have 12 days left it is flying by I am trying to keep myself busy so I don't go stir crazy thinking about it. LOL.

I had an amazing experience at my very first appointment with Dr Nesmith. Not only is he a wonderful person, his knowledge is top notch and his skill is one in a million! Every staff member I met with was very nice and personable! Thank you!

I would do this all over again. I was really sore for about a week and a half. The results are unbelievable. I sill have a little swelling but that is to ne expected. I had my surgery on Oct 12, so it's been a little over a month now. I started exercising about a seek and a half after my surgery. Please check out your surgeon before making this choice...

There are no pros to upper eyelid surgery. I was left with a lot of hollowness, scarring in the inner corner of my eyelid and shortage of skin. The cons are that it is a risky procedure, if you don't go to the right doctor, you will be out of luck. Not much can be done for too much fat and skin that has been taken out of your upper eyelids and you will end up looking older from a skeletonized appearance. Updated on 6 Jun 2009: Updated on 23 Dec 2009: Updated on 12 Feb 2011: I am in the process of having to get a skin graft on my left upper eyelid due to the skin that Dr. Nesmith took off. I am unable to close my left upper eyelid and must use cling wrap and use an eye patch with dry eye ointment in it every night. I also am unable to wear any make-up due to the loss of skin. I am left with hollowness as well as too much fat was removed. There is not much else that can be done when too much skin and fat have been removed. If anyone is intent on doing it; please seek an oculoplastic surgeon for this procedure who will take your individual eyes into account and will be conservative with skin and fat removal and not damage the integrity of your eyes. Updated on 14 Nov 2012: This procedure changed my life forever. I have functional problems with my eyelids and cosmetic problems as well. What I wish I had known before that not all plastic surgeons are skilled at eyelid surgery and to minimize risks, one should only go to an oculoplastic surgeon instead of a general plastic surgeon like Dr. Nesmith.

i have always struggled with a disproportionate body little boobs and a fat stomach. i have always been very self conscious about these areas and this was before having 3 kids which i wouldn't change for the world. i never really had the funds to get it done but i have worked hard my whole life and i can finally afford to treat myself to something that i have always wanted to do for me. my fiance is very supportive of me he just wants me to be happy all though he tells me he loves me just the way i am. i am not happy with the way i look i just want to have the self confidence to walk on the beach in a bikini and feel great about myself. don't get me wrong i have come along way from where i used to be as far as weight but this is just something that i have always wanted since i turned 18 i am now 38. i am really nervous and don't know what to expect i am off from work for about two weeks i just want a flat belly i am having breast augmentation and liposuction of the upper and lower abdomen inner and outer thighs lateral chest lipo and gonna ask about my arms when i go for my preop not sure yet if i want to do my arms yet need to talk to my doctor. i am posting a few preop pictures here the first one has my daughter in it i will have my man take some before pictures tonight in a bathing suit so you guys can all get a bteer idea of the before canvas compared to the after. it seems so far away before my surgery date will get here i am counting down the days. any advice that you guys can give me would be great i have never done anything like this before is there anything i should be doing to prepare my body for the lipo and breast augmentation.Updated on 16 May 2012:I had before pictures taken last night It's taking me some real courage to post these but I just have to look forward to the after pictures that will look simply amazing. as you can see from the profile picture i hide my fat well in clothes I don't want to have to hide my fat anymore I can not wait I go for my preop appt on may 22nd. :)Updated on 23 May 2012:So I went in for my pre-op appointment yesterday and I was originally going in for lipo and a breast aug after thinking about it and thinking about it I decided to go for the tummy tuck I just figured if I was going to spend this much money that I want to make sure I am totally happy with my results I don't want to have loose skin after lipo. I can not even explain to you how happy I am and nervous and excited all at once if there are ladies out there that have already had this done any advice would be great anything that I should be doing before the procedure that can help me would be great.
