Plastic Surgery Saved My Life!

WORTH IT
I did a crazy amount of research and read so many reviews before choosing Dr. Gary Lawton (aka The Perfectionist), and man, let me tell you how right I was. I literally drive from Austin to San Antonio to see him and have zero regrets, because he actually saved my life!

I went in for your typical "mommy makeover"—a tummy tuck, breast lift, and reduction. My friends continually questioned why I wanted the reduction since I wasn't even that large to begin with. Even Dr. Lawton said I’d look great with just a lift. But I insisted on wanting to be smaller (a B cup is all I need!), and he immediately said okay. He didn’t look at my partner for their opinion; he focused completely on what I wanted. Best decision of my life!

On operation day, he checked in one last time while marking me up. I told him, "I want them cute, perky, and to never need a bra again." That is EXACTLY what I got, plus something extra.

The pathology report from the removed tissue came back showing pre-cancerous cells. If we hadn't done the reduction, we never would have found it, and I would have most certainly developed breast cancer.

If Dr. Lawton hadn't truly listened to my desires, I would have never known. When he had to break the scary news to me, his bedside manner was amazing—calm, caring, and honestly he was low-key excited to know he just saved a woman's life. He even took the time to personally call the oncologist and get me an immediate appointment to start treatment. The entire process has been incredible.

His nursing staff answers all my random recovery questions via phone and email in plain terms and keeps me totally reassured. My in-person post-ops have been just as amazing. Also, shoutout to the anesthesiologist—literally one of the sweetest, kindest humans ever. I felt so safe.

Going into major surgery comes with fears and doubts, but every single step of the way, I felt comforted and safe. I am so glad I chose Dr. Lawton for this life-changing event. Because he actually listened to me instead of just doing a lift, I get to live cancer-free.

There aren't enough words to thank him. If you are looking to get "made over," choose Dr. Gary Lawton. He is worth it, and I trust him and his staff with my life. I will forever be grateful for his desire to listen to patients and be there every step of the way.
