Michael Boggess, MD

From the very first moment to my most recent follow up visit, Dr. Boggess and staff were amazing!

I originally saw him for blepharoplasty due to severe right eyelid droop with significant asymmetry, but during the week preceding my visit, I looked through his before and after photos again. I noted that his neck lifts and fat transfers produced amazing results. Additionally, he understood fully that I didn’t want to appear to be a 64 year-old attempting to look like a teen. I wanted to be the best version of myself and perhaps roll back the clock a decade or so. Dr. Boggess accomplished all of that and more.

Although it’s not the first consideration, his procedures were shorter in duration than other surgeons had projected. He did not require general anesthesia and by the way, I had a great nurse anesthetist! The added bonus was that the total cost for a full face lift was 50% less than the two other surgeons I’d recently consulted.

My experience has been 100% positive but I’ll add that for anyone considering this surgery, the first two weeks of recovery require some preparation. I should’ve been less stubborn and utilized more of the pain medication provided by Dr. Boggess. I’d also emphasize the importance of a plan to have a good recliner to aid in sleeping upright and plenty of ice packs to rotate until the swelling has remitted. Lastly, I knew Dr. Boggess had done great work with zero complications within three weeks, but I was astounded at my before and after photos at the eight week follow up.

I’m so very grateful that I no longer see my right eyelid in my visual field, but more than that, Dr. Boggess has rejuvenated my facial appearance, but more important my lease on life as well. I feel like “me“ again and as important, my husband was pleased and amazed as well.

I researched for about 2 years to find the right for the perfect physician, look no further Dr Boggess and his staff. Were amazing!
He made feel comfortable through every step.
From consult to surgery and post op.
Dr.Bogguess gave us his phone number to contact anytime if we had any concerns. We had none every thing to from start to finish was completely explained.
The results were amazing! I went in kinda scared but 10000% I followed through and Dr.Boggess is an amazing artist!

I absolutely could not decide whether to take the risk on my facial rejuvenation. I was so afraid I would have a plastic look or a surprise look. After visiting with Dr. Boggess, I realized he does not work on every patient the same. Every procedure is tailored to the patient.
He assured me that no one would even notice except to say you look great!
I have found that to be exactly true! Research no longer. Go with Dr. Boggess! You’ll be glad you did!

Dr. Boggess (and the Youthful Reflections team) was patient with my concerns and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. I felt confident and comfortable when I finally booked my procedure.
I followed instructions, trusted the process and could not be happier with the results.
Any cosmetic procedure is a personal decision. If this is something you are considering, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Michael Boggess and his awesome team! If I had to do it all over again, I would not change one thing.

I am a registered nurse and have been in healthcare for many years. I recognize the quality care. The quality of care, kindness and professionalism provided by Dr. Boggess and his staff was simply incredible. I had a reflection lift, laser skin resurfacing, fat transfer and blepharoplasty. I am absolutely thrilled with my results!

Choosing a surgeon begins when you call the office to make an appointment for a consultation. When I called the office of Dr. Boggess, I was warmly greeted, was able to schedule a consult with very minimal questioning from the person who answered the phone. Very refreshing.
When I arrived at the office I was delighted that the office was quiet and professional, with a wonderful woman greeting patients and getting them started on paperwork, which was minimal.
Then I met Dr. Boggess. I was immediately at ease and felt comfortable sharing my concerns; sagging face, sagging neck.
He told me what his recommendations were, which were exactly what I expected, a lower face lift and neck lift, and CO2 laser to compliment the lift. Yay!
He answered all my questions, then I was moved to another office area to speak with Bernadette Boggess, who wears many hats and is just a delightful person.
She discussed price, which frankly I found to be extremely reasonable.
Because I live more than one hour away from the office, Dr. Boggess required that I stay in a local hotel the first night, so I hired a nurse and off we went.
My anesthesia was 30mg of valium and local lidocaine injections. Let me tell you, this was so much better than a general, you wake up quicker, way less risk, just a wonderful option. If you are considering this and worry that you will "wake up" or "feel something", you won't.
First night I wore the compression bandage. Face was a bit red from the laser but not bad at all. Went back the next day for removal of the compression that is then followed by a less restrictive compression bandage that the patient wears 24/7 for 2 weeks. A walk in the park!!
I had NO PAIN. The nurse wanted me to take a pain pill to mitigate potential pain onset but I didn't and I had no pain.
Recovery: by 72 hours I was out walking on my property (with a hat for sure) for one hour. Felt great. By 5 days I was driving with a scarf around my head and neck. Sorta felt like Greta Garbo ;)
My results are off the charts. But don't listen to me, here are quotes from my friends:
"OMG you look 15 years younger and I am not kidding"
"No way Jodes, you look so natural and just more happy"
"I hate you lol"...
You get the idea. To summarize, talk to as many surgeons as you wish but DO NOT leave Dr. Boggess off your list.
My review was written by me with no editing by anyone and I was not compensated for this review.

Dr. Boggess is not just a doctor - he is a true artist. The results were everything I wanted and more! He made my drooping rectangular shaped face (the collateral damage of aging and falling skin) into a more heart-shaped appearance. I was so very worried about the surgery and the recovery but every step of the way he let me know what to expect. I mean what other doctor offers their cell phone? He has the best bedside manner - so well informed and with no ego, no arrogance. He is the REAL DEAL. And I don't say that lightly.

Absolutely great. Dr Boggess and all the staff were wonderful. My down time was minimal. It was an uplifting experience for me. The Dr and staff made sure I was comfortable and met all my needs while under their care. They were great.

I can't even begin to tell you all the positive things about Dr. Boggess. He's amazing! Professional, completely transparent about expectations, follows up on all questions, is realistic in reviewing your case and potential outcomes, prepares for your surgery with his colleagues and is enthusiastic in his practice.

Dr. Boggess is a restoration specialist, I would have never dreamed he could take so many years off my face and neck. It was a great experience for me. During my procedure I was made comfortable, with absolutely no pain during or after my surgery. The result's are just mind blowing. One of my brothers didn't even recognize me! Dr. Boggess staff members are so sweet and considerate. I would highly recommend him for any rejuvenation procedures you may be considering. If I need or want any further procedures in my further, I will be returning to him for them.
