If I could give zero stars, I would.

My experience with Dr. Ryan Stanton has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the very beginning, he was consistently late to appointments and showed a complete lack of professionalism and empathy. Not only did I end up with a serious infection after my procedure, but I later discovered he had implanted a smaller-sized implant than what we had originally discussed— after we only talked about 600cc and if he wasn’t able to input that, in his words “he’ll definitely will be able to implant 500cc ( I received neither).

To make matters worse, I was left with severe scarring that doesn’t even align with my natural gluteal crease (butt crack). The incisions flare outward, and the resulting keloid scars are dark, raised, and highly visible—especially any time I bend over even slightly. It’s incredibly embarrassing, and it’s a constant reminder of the trauma I went through, both physically and emotionally. No one should have to live with scars like these from a procedure that was supposed to improve their confidence.

When I brought up my concerns about the infection, he initially informed me it was an infection and sent me medication for it but then from reaching out to his coordinator he was denying it! Until he was confronted with undeniable evidence. Today it seemed as though he expected me to not bring it up because they eventually weeks later gave me medication to stuff my butt until it healed. The only reason I healed was due to my husband being tentative. Instead of taking responsibility he became defensive during this distressing phone call. I tried to express how traumatic this entire experience had been for me, and he belittled me, spoke over me, told me I “wasn’t important,” and then hung up on me. A doctor—someone who is supposed to care for and support their patients—telling a patient they’re not important? Absolutely unacceptable.

I was initially willing to let a lot of this go, but that last phone call changed everything. It was clear I was nothing more than a dollar sign to him. The way I was treated was dehumanizing and traumatic.

His online reputation and nickname “the Butt King” do not reflect the reality of the care (or lack thereof) that I received. Just because someone has a flashy brand and charges significantly more than other surgeons does not mean they’re skilled, ethical, or compassionate.

I deeply regret ever trusting Dr. Stanton and his staff, and I hope this review helps others make a more informed decision. Please, do your research thoroughly—and don’t be blinded by social media hype or inflated price tags. What you see online is not always the reality behind closed doors.
