Destin Plastic Surgery

I got liposuction of the back (Upper lower and flanks) with dr. Burden.
Pro: it was close to my residence. He seems to care and is honest about possible outcome
Con: i feel like this office is more geared toward a certain demographic.
Before and during my procedure I felt uneasy. About outcome and care. The office is full of blonde hair , blue eye, size 1 beautiful women. Not seeing someone who looked like me behind the desk or even in the photo gallery of work can truly make a POC feel uneasy. Care and feeling not only heard but understood is what alot of us look for. I went ahead and got the procedure anyways. I was quoted 4,240 for this with the 560$ discount from date deposit and consultation fee (another con). It's been 2weeks and recovery was rough. Ended up refilling my pain meds due to the pain (not uncomfortable, PAIN) . Results look good. However i wish this was something that could've been done with my TT in scheduled a few weeks out from this one. He doesn't not recommend combining due to Florida lipo law, and he doesn't not recommend massages or fajas. He sends you home in most procedures in just a flimsy binder.
Overall I'd rate them a 4 out of 5. The nurse are great with answering questions, and I am happy with my results, however I feel like aftercare and presentation of this company can definitely use and upgrade.

He really is good! His skills and expertise was something I was not willing to pass up when choosing a plastic surgeon to do my breast augmentation.
The nurses and staff are great also which made the experience all that much better! Thanks Dr.Burden!
I feel much more confident now that you fixed me!

I am keeping my journey updated with you all because I wish someone with my size and my petite"ness" would have done the same! So hopefully this helps out someone that's petite.
I am 5'4 123lbs was a 32A cup before my BA!

It’s so easy to forget about updating when you’re just going about your normal life! I wanted to drop a photo of me fully healed just because I wish I would’ve saw more of these when I was doing my research! I’m happy and ecstatic with my results!!
Cropped the photos- as I have tattoos

I will say just trust the process and be communicative with Dr. ????

I had been debating getting a breast augmentation for 5+ years and made the decision to have a consult with Dr. Burden. The consultation was great and we addressed all my concerns, he gave me his opinion and reasoning behind why He was suggesting what he was suggesting. I was initially concerned with the amount of CC’s he had suggested (400&425 gummy bear silicone) but decided that he is the doctor and he knows best lol. Went in for surgery and had a great experience, felt 3/10 pain the whole time. Was just uncomfortable. The only thing that bothered me was nerve pain from 1-3 weeks post op. I recommend him to everyone!!! My gyno and her nurse thought my breast were real!! That’s how good he did! I’m also 6’ tall and 145lbs. He also went through the arm pit and I’m 10 months post op and you can hardly see the scar now.

Dr Burden did a 50 year makeover for me. From the moment I walked in his office I felt welcome. He was so down to earth and spent time going over everything I wanted. He performed 2 procedures, full trunk liposuction and 8 weeks later an implant exchange and scar revision. I cried when I looked in the mirror after it was complete. They were tears of joy!! I am so happy with everything he did and actually feel sexy naked again! Not only is he wonderful but his staff is equally as wonderful. I would recommend anyone looking to have work done to call his office. The wait is well worth it and there is a reason he is busy!

I had a fall after my breast lift and ended up with a hematoma on my right side. Joan and Dr. Burden took such excellent care of me and fixed me right up! My breasts look amazing and I am so thankful to them for their excellent care!

If you are considering a facial cosmetic procedure, the surgeon you choose will be one of the five most important decisions of your entire life. I’m not being over dramatic. If you get this decision wrong you will be painfully reminded fifty times a day for the rest of your life. No exaggeration. Twenty four hours after my neck/face/brow lift the immense gravity of my decision settled in. I thank God every day I choose Dr. William Burden for my procedures. The words “great” and “excellent” aren’t adequate to describe my results. My words and outcomes are “exceptional”, “extraordinary” and simply “sublime”.

I’m a firm believer that a cosmetic surgeon offers the most comprehensive procedures his professional drive and innate talent is capable of. Dr. Burden’s advanced techniques take years of uncommon perseverance to master. Anyone who would pay the money and go through the recovery of a facelift and not choose the advanced techniques and superior skill of Dr Burden is simply not making an optimal decision. It’s that simple. I have zero doubt he is the surgeon other surgeons send their family members to.

I think any board certified plastic surgeon will give you results you are happy with or at the very least results you are not unhappy with. If you are okay with that then that's great. But if you want the best possible outcome and to never wonder if someone could have done a better job then choose Dr. Burden.

I also want to complement all the staff of Destin Plastic Surgery for their extraordinary help. Special thank you to Joan, who tirelessly answered my questions and provided
unwavering counsel in the post-op period. Thank you all!

After a significant weight loss I had been on the fence with having a tummy tuck for years. I finally found the courage to schedule a consultation and as soon as I entered Dr. Burdens office I was put right at ease. His Nurse Joan was amazing and full of knowledge and as soon as I met Dr. Burden I knew he was the surgeon for me. He was kind and never pushy. His bedside manner was five star and I'm so happy with my results. He did an amazing job and I finally have my confidence back! I feel good in my own skin again! Thank you Dr. Burden and staff for answering all of my questions and your fantastic work.

From the moment I went in for my consultation I felt so comfortable. Dr. Burden and his staff are so amazing. I had my TT, Lipo and MR on Dec 1 but before my procedure Dr. Burden stopped by and reassured me that I was in good hands and I believed him. Thank you Destin Plastic Surgery so far my journey has been amazing.

The day of my consultation with Dr. Burden I was so nervous but by the end I knew he was the provider that I wanted to go with for my tummy tuck. I am currently 4 months post op and I am loving my results. I am buying two piece bikinis and wearing crop tops again which I haven't wore in over 4 years. Thank you Dr. Burden

The staff at Destin Plastic Surgery was phenomenal from my initial consultation through a delay in my surgery due to Covid to my surgery and recovery. I was continually impressed by their professionalism, expediency and willingness to work with my individual needs/concerns. Absolutely recommend Dr. Burden and Destin Plastic Surgery.
