July, 3, 2025 I underwent an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) mastopexy (breast lift) and augmentation (implants) with Dr. Anna Widmyer. While I am satisfied with my tummy tuck results, my breast surgery outcome was devastating. Within six months, my breasts were sagging again, implants are sitting way too low, my areolas had stretched, and I was left with noticeable asymmetry from different-sized implants, this was her decision. (I was a D-long, now I’m a DD-long) Despite specifically discussing a rounder, perkier appearance, not larger breasts, I never achieved the result I was hoping for. (For the first few months, I looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger with “pecs”instead of feminine round breasts you typically see with implants.)
At my six-month follow-up, Dr. Widmyer agreed I needed another lift and revision surgery. Instead of feeling reassured that the problem would be corrected, each consultation left me more confused, frustrated, and discouraged. Dr. Widmyer was giving me options that were “easiest” for her and not the best options to achieve the look and longevity I originally envisioned. (I had multiple consultations with other surgeons to learn what the best revision approach would be for my body.) After three consultations with Dr.Widmyer I still did not have a clear surgical plan. My questions were met with resistance rather than clarity, and I felt like my concerns were viewed as an inconvenience rather than valid concerns from a patient who had invested well over $20,000 in her care.
Dr. Widmyer is very egotistical and does not like being held accountable or called out for things she’s said. She will shift the blame to you as the patient and provide every excuse possible, your body heals differently, skin elasticity, weight fluctuation. She claimed “I gained weight” yet never once did they document my weight or basic vitals. She said the “dog ear” on my hip is from the drain not from the incision where she ended the tummy tuck. (Nice one, my drains came from above my pubic bone.) She thinks patients are stupid and can’t see through her BS!
You will notice a vastly different experience with the consultation process, compared to other professional surgeons. You are not provided a gown or privacy to change, you are expected to change in front of whoever is in the room at the time, my last appointment it was the receptionist who was training!
The lack of communication, accountability and documentation is extremely concerning. (They do not take notes and leave out extremely important details that were discussed.)I requested written clarification of my revision plan to avoid misunderstandings, she then canceled my revision surgery and all future appointments. (She actually did me a huge favor, I was delusional for considering a revision with her).
As a local business owner myself, I had regrettably referred multiple patients to this practice overtime, all of whom have shared their concerns and dissatisfaction with their surgical outcomes.
This experience was one of the most expensive, disappointing and emotionally draining experiences I have ever gone through.
Cosmetic surgery requires an enormous amount of trust. Looking back, I wish I had sought multiple opinions BEFORE my original procedure, I should’ve asked a million in-depth questions and ensured every detail was documented in writing. I would NEVER recommend Dr. Widmyer or Lakewood Ranch Plastic Surgery.
