Cannot wait for when I am healed
I had such a wonderful positive experience at Phase Plastic Surgery from the day I called for a consult all the way to my surgery day. My 9 year old implants placed by a different surgeon were both ruptured, and I had an animation deformity. The staff was always so attentive and kind. I felt extremely confident in Dr. Baxter’s plan for me and he is very thorough. The nurses and especially t...
Neck lift and upper blepharoplasty - mostly happy with my results
I am 5 months post op.I want to say my overall experience was good. I am mostly happy with my results. I think anytime you have a surgery, it is a risk. When I went in for my pre-op appointment, the staff was so kind and friendly. The nurse was very sweet too. The overall wait was short. Dr. Baxter came in and I did feel a bit rushed in my questions I had. I did feel confident though in...
I Had a Wonderful Experience with Dr Baxter.
Dr Baxter was my initial Dr for my breast augmentation in 2008. Throughout the years I considered going bigger and had a couple consults with him and he was always caring and attentive, I decided to wait to change them. I came in for a complementary ultrasound in 2023 after seeing and feeling some changes in my breasts and suspecting a rupture which be confirmed. I decided to exchange my 420...
Natural beautiful results! So excited about using a pure HA injectable!
Lisa Machak is a master with the needle! I have been getting treatments from her for approximately 7 years. She does beautiful, natural work. I feel I always look like a better version of myself when I walk out of her office. I had the Juvederm RHA filler done today-so excited about using a pure HA injectable!!
This gave an emotional boost to my self-esteem and psyche
I recently had a breast lift and a bit of liposuction done by Dr. R.Baxter. What I'm sure Dr. Baxter is unaware of, is how difficult and painful 2021 was for me. What I would like him to know, is that he has given me an emotional an heartfelt boost to my self-esteem and psyche. Along with some fat injections, a mass dose of confidence flowed in as well. I have a renewed sense of adventure,...

A: In the interest of patient safety AND comfort, my preference is to have an anesthesia provider present. Usually this is general anesthesia, but it could also be monitored intravenous sedation. In both instances local anesthesia is also used. Personally I would not want to be wide awake during the hours it takes to do a proper facelift, and would want my surgeon to focus on the surgery and someone else to focus their attention to keeping me safe and comfortable.
A: Unless there is a specific reason to stage the breast surgery and tummy tuck, they are almost always done together. Factors that could change that are if you are having circumferential lipo with the tummy tuck, which takes extra time, or if the plan exceeds 6 hours. If you do stage them, do the tummy tuck first because there could be some traction that might affect the level of the inframammary fold.
A: Although I can't see the upper abdominal skin in the photo, it does show that your belly button is rather high. For that reason, a mini tummy tuck with umbi float is probably your best option. In your case, the belly button would be re-attached a bit lower, which would allow for more skin removal in the lower abdomen than could be done with a mini only. A full tummy tuck is too risky.
A: Since you have lost upper pole fullness, your breasts need more support than the skin is providing. Consider an internal bra with Galaflex. Removing more skin without adding support is less predictable.
A: Since the breast shape is pretty good when the muscle is relaxed but forms a groove when you flex your pec, you have animation deformity. This is due to the detached portion of the pectoral muscle adhering to the capsule, right where you see the groove. IMO this is not correctable with fat transfers. It requires re-attachment of the muscle behind the implant, which can be done by converting from dual plane to split muscle. Many examples on my website.
