Austin Hayes, MD

Amazing experience. “I saw a few surgeons before choosing Dr. Hayes, and he was the one I felt most at ease with. He was confident, explained everything clearly, and my surgery went exactly as promised.”

Where do I begin? I've been rotting my brain researching about a BA for years it feels like, and after pulling the trigger in May and having a consultation it all became real! And the best resource I had throughout it all was probably Realself! So I thought I might leave a review and help out fellow women like me looking to get a mini boob job! I found it was definitely harder finding women with similar starting stats who also wanted to get smaller implants, so I want to help out anyone else like me! I got my surgery yesterday and it overall went incredibly smooth! I was so scared I literally sobbed in the pre op room! However, I was scared for nothing! My recovery has been a breeze so far, and I've only been taking tylenol and advil since I got out! I feel sore around my incisions and when I do certain movements like lifting myself up or sitting up in bed. But apart from that, I've been super mobile! I think some reviews definitely scared me.... but maybe I've just been lucky? I'm also on the younger end (21yrs) so that could also be helping my recovery. Anyways, I ended up getting 220cc in my left and 205cc in my right to help fix the asymmetry I had. They are Motiva minis ergonomix, and I also got them with galaflex and OTM. I was surprised when my doctor said I could go subfacial during my mark up before surgery, as during my consultation I was only a candidate for UTM due to my lack of tissue. However, I must have gained a lil weight because he easily pinched 1.5cm of tissue above my breast which is how he deems your qualification for OTM. This was a huge relief because going UTM would cause a longer recovery and i am a huge climber and HIIT girl and was afraid of causing any displacement by using my chest too much. I also think going OTM is why my recovery is going so smooth. However, I was fully prepared to go UTM and I would have still done it regardless, so don't be afraid of either! Do what works for you and your body, they both produce beautiful results!! So far my breasts honestly already are looking good, I was nervous about frankenboob but they aren't sitting high or tight and I'm really happy about that! Ill include below a before photo as well as some day 1 post op photos. I'm about to head to my first post op appointment where I'm gonna as him about why one of my breasts has a more defined crease than the other, but apart from that I have no concerns (yet, lol). Ill post updates periodically throughout the next couple weeks of recovery! But for now, I hope this helped out! Updated on 24 Sep 2025: So it’s been a week since surgery and all is still going well! I’m super mobile now and only take Tylenol once a day. I’m still taking it easy and only going on walks but I’m definitely ready to get active again! I won’t do any running or workout classes for another couple weeks, but I’ll start work again next week! They’re getting a bit squishier but are still pretty firm! I’m set to replace the bandages soon too and then I’ll be able to take em off and start scar treatment in two weeks! I’ll include some more post op pics!

I had a tummy tuck with Lipo 360 a couple of years ago, and let me tell you—Dr. Hayes did an incredible job. He gave me my confidence back, and you can’t even tell I had surgery—that’s how good he is. I was really nervous beforehand, but Dr. Hayes was so kind, compassionate, and patient that I felt completely reassured. I seriously can’t recommend him enough—he’s incredibly talented and genuinely cares about his patients.

I had a labiaplasty for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Hayes is exceptional. As well as the staff working with him. He was a great listener about my concerns regarding my issue and about what I wanted out of the procedure. He was very methodical in explaining the entire process in a way I could understand and what results to expect. I felt as comfortable as I could feel during the consultation and he had a female assistant present during the initial exam. After booking the surgery date, it was extremely helpful to have the pre-recorded pre/post surgery processes explained in even more detail available for me to listen to before my final pre-surgery meeting with him over the phone. He never seemed rushed during any in-person or phone interaction about my procedure. Pain was minimal afterwards and I’m still baffled to how that’s even possible, considering the area worked on. Dr. Hayes is very meticulous with this procedure. I’m so glad I found him to do this labiaplasty on me and I’m beyond thrilled with the results. Thank you so much for helping fix a part of my body that I’ve always hated.

This guy is the best of the best. I met with multiple surgeons 5 to be exact. Researched techniques and outcomes from both patients and providers. His meticulous desire for patient centered outcomes is unparalleled and his work is otherworldly. They way he can sculpt a perfect breast on your body is a gift not many could replicate. He uses his own techniques and experience to masterfully recreate. If you are considering a breast lift, look no further.

I have to say that Dr.Hayes is a complete master and artist of a plastic surgeon. he is wonderful at explaining answers to any questions and has such a kind demeanor that really sets you at ease. I initially came to Dr.Hayes for a breast revision consult, after I had a deflated implant and I wasn’t satisfied with the doctor I had seen closer to where I live. So I made the trek to Portland and am so glad that I did. Dr. Hayes did an amazing job and was so precise in his approach that my results even immediately were so impressive. I have a ton of natural cleavage now where before I had this large gap between my two breasts. He placed the implants closer to the inside pocket edges to really get an impressive result. I am so beyond pleased. It was also a relatively painless procedure if you can believe it- he uses special techniques that make surgery easier for the patient and I was literally feeling fine after just a couple of days vs my first augmentation 15 years ago where I felt bed ridden for weeks. After the successful revision surgery I decided to take the leap and do an abdomnioasty as I had lost about 75lbs after being overweight and having two pregnancies in 3 years. I had (what I felt) was a massive amount of loose skin just hanging from my front abdomen that I was very self conscious about. I decided to go back to Dr Hayes and see what he thought the best solution would be. He recommended a lower body lift, to really tighten the skin all the way around my midsection and again i was thrilled at how I looked just 2 days post op and can’t believe how great I look now after just 6 weeks. My stomach is flat even with swelling from the surgery. Also he is able to do drainless tummy tuck which again is quite impressive- I was expecting to have to deal with drains and was so excited to see no drains when I was up for recovery. If you need plastic surgery you can’t go wrong with Dr. Hayes- he and his staff will take very good care of you and highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of undergoing a lower body lift with Dr. Hayes, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience. From the moment I first met Dr. Hayes, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care were evident from our initial consultation. Dr. Hayes took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and goals, ensuring that I felt fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Hayes's meticulous approach and attention to detail were apparent throughout the entire process. He took great care to address all of my questions and made me feel at ease with his thorough explanations. His dedication to his craft and his patients is truly remarkable. The results of the surgery speak for themselves (just check out his instagram). Dr. Hayes’s skillful work has left me with a transformed appearance and a renewed sense of confidence. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and compassionate care.

I am so glad I found Dr Hayes and booked my consultation and surgery with him. I never expected the level of results I received after looking through before and after pics online for years. Every day I am grateful for his work. Every time I get dressed, go to the gym, take a shower, sit down in public or even leave the house. I never realized how much effort I put into concealing myself by hiding in baggy clothes, standing in the back, or not participating in some activities until I did not have to anymore. I was self conscious all day everyday and I never realized the toll it had on me until it was lifted. His work is amazing and his desire for perfection show in his work. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Dr. Hayes is very knowledgeable and professional. He is very responsive and his staff are amazing. I had a great experience and I highly recommend him. Immediately after surgery I knew that I had made the right decision about both the surgeon and about having the procedure completed. I love my results. I recovered as indicated and with no complications. Thank you!

Dr. Hayes did my labiaplasty, and I'm so happy I chose him. I met with two other providers in Portland d- another plastic surgeon and gynecologist - and chose Dr. Hayes. My initial consultation with Dr. Hayes was drastically different than the other providers. He asked me what I wanted, and he openly spoke about sex which is baffling to me that I didn't talk about that much with the other providers - it's my vagina. If you look at before and after photos - you can tell that his work is more precise. I did my procedure with local anesthesia, and it took about 3 hours, so I know he was meticulous vs. if you read about "quick simple procedure" - I would say, no, it's not "simple" and it's not "quick" which actually makes me feel better - knowing it's thorough. His pricing was higher than the other providers, but it's worth it. I think part of that is because he spends more time. If you live in Portland and you want a labiaplasty, go to him.
