I had outstanding results with the surgery I had
Dr.Buford is an excellent surgeon. He has great bed side manner, is an expert in his field, and I had outstanding results with the surgery I had. The surgery I had was an implant removal and other surgeons previously said it would be impossible to remove them without a lollipop incision. When I met with Dr. Buford later he stated I could do a fat transfer and then not need a life with the...
The entire experience from the consultation to the procedure was exceptional
Words can’t express how truly amazing Dr Buford is. I have been going to him for years to get Botox and filler. Anyssa also does my micro needling with PRP and is the best! I recently decided to have a breast augmentation and couldn’t be happier with my results. The entire experience from the consultation to the procedure was exceptional. Jennifer and Shanda are so welcoming and are great to ...
I Couldn't Be Happier!
I got my implants removed because my body was rejecting them (had inflammation issues) and I wanted to be my authentic, natural self again. Dr. Buford was professional, reassuring and down to earth. I felt very comfortable with him. He used my previous incisions and did an amazing job with the whole procedure. Jen was wonderful and explained everything very thoroughly. Shanda was always nice,...
A Kind Doctor Who Listens & Great Surgical Experience
Dr Buford has impeccable bedside manner. He spends ample time in every pre-surgery and post-surgery appointment to listen to you without making you feel rushed. I visited several surgeons in the area and once I met Dr Buford I knew he was the right doctor for my procedure. His staff is also excellent. As for the procedure itself, Dr Buford performed a bilateral breast implant removal of 8 year...
5 Star Experience with Dr. Buford!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Buford on 9-3-20 and can say with full confidence that I had a 5 star experience from start to finish! I considered a few other doctors in the area as well as across the country. Dr. Buford stood out due to his attentiveness to my needs, technique and knowledge. During my in-person consult, we discussed my goals, viewed my "wish pics", reviewed my lifestyle...

A: First, be wary of a Plastic Surgeon who says that they "never" do a specific technique and always do it one way. Everyone is different and so different approaches and techniques may be necessary for different people.
I personally use the anchor technique quite often because it reduces the distance from the nipple to the fold and creates (in my opinion) a much more stable breast lift than with a lollipop incision alone. That being said, I used to do the lollipop method almost exclusively but have changed my preference over the years.
In your case, I would definitely do the anchor method and would also think about using mesh as an internal bra to help better support the lower pole of your breasts.
I hope that helps and wish you the very best!

A: As the previous physicians mentioned, this is actually a good thing and may potentially even improve results of a brow lift (especially with injections in the forehead itself). I would, however, consult with your physician that is actually doing the surgery and work with him/her to get the most optimal results.
I hope that helps and wish you the very best!

A: The simple answer here is...no. BOTOX (and the other neuromodulators) work by effectively blocking the effect of neurotransmitters on the recipient muscle and so they will actually help to reduce muscle activity and potentially muscle mass.
I hope that helps and wish you the very best!

A: Thanks for a great question!
I will politely disagree with the previous PS and suggest using an off-the-shelf filler to address your concerns. While fat is a very nice filler, no type of grafting procedure can assure 100% take and so this can be a little unpredictable. Also, in the tear trough area you have to be very careful with lumpiness.
I would personally begin by injecting your cheeks. Your mid face is flattened and would benefit from volume in this area instead of the tear troughs. I would use 1 syringe of Voluma XC/cheek to assure a more optimal result. And while fillers like Voluma are not permanent, they do last up to 1.5 years and provide a very natural looking result.
I hope this helps and wish you the very best!

A: As the previous Plastic Surgeons so eloquently described, there are advantages and disadvantages to placement of breast implants beneath or over the muscle.
I personally work with a large number of very fit women with very little body fat and usually a minimal amount of breast tissue. As such, I generally prefer the sub muscular approach. This approach tends to produce a much more natural result because of the overlying soft tissue as compared to placing implants over the muscle. The disadvantage is that when you are activating the muscle, the implants tend to "dance" or animate which some patients do not prefer. However, in the long run my personal preference is strongly towards the sub pectoral approach and I feel that this would be a good recommendation for you.
On that note, I actually operated on a patient in a similar profession this past year and placed the implants under the muscle. She is extremely happy and has returned to full function with a very nice result!
I hope that helps and wish you the very best!
