WORTH IT
Dr. Evan Ransom is a brilliant facial plastic surgeon. If you want THE BEST look no further.
I am a 64 year old lady who has never felt beautiful a day in my life. To make matters worse the ravage of time was wrecking havoc on my face and neck. Each year I seemed to be acquiring more bags and wrinkles than all of my friends put together. Along with the bags and wrinkles, my jowls were hanging down around my neck. This was disheartening to say the least because I am very young at heart.

Dr. Ransom gave me a mini facelift, a rhinoplasty, and to my complete disbelief he was able to get rid of some deep scaring under my eyes. He also did a laser treatment on the surface of my face to even out my complexion and ThermiTight on my neck. He has easily taken 20 years off my face and I am thrilled! My face now reflects my inner self. The real me.

Through all of these procedures I had no pain, no bruising and no swelling whatsoever. (Not even with my rhinoplasty.) And although he prescribed pain medicine for me I didn't even need a Tylenol. Perhaps because Dr. Ransom has a precise and gentle touch. My recovery was fast and easy.

When I first went in for my consultation Dr. Ransom did not rush me. He took his time listening to my concerns and explaining what he could do for me in great detail. Right then and there I knew I was in good hands.
Dr. Ransom has impressive credentials and is extremely skilled, but above and beyond this he has an innate artistry that cannot be taught. Let's just say he performs magic :)

Dee, his office manager is an Angel. I absolutely Love her! She has the kindest heart (and a wonderful sense of humor :) She completely understands each procedure that Dr. Ransom performs and was right by my side the whole way calming my nerves and answering any questions that popped into my head. I loved that she took time each day to call me and check on how I was doing. I found this extremely comforting.

Jillian is a sweetheart, very professional and she is doing a beautiful ThermiSmooth procedure on the fine lines around my eyes and mouth. Her smile and enthusiasm greet me every time I walk through the office door :)

Last but in no way least, I respect Dr. Ransom for his compassion in donating his time and artistry to charitable causes. Every year he travels to third world countries operating on babies with cleft palates.
Here at home he donates his time to our military men and women who return home from war badly disfigured. He does the same for women who have been disfigured by domestic abuse, a cause that lies close to my heart. Dr. Ransom I want you to know that your selflessness touches my soul. You are the very best. Thank you so very much for all that you've done for me.

Hi Matt! I had my first operation last January. Dr. Ransom did my mini facelift, my rhinoplasty and my facial laser all at the same time. It went so well, it was so beautiful that later this year I decided to go ahead and have him try to fix my eyes. (I was very apprehensive to have anybody try to fix them. I thought they were a lost cause. But at that point I trusted him completely.) I couldn't believe he actually fixed them. Once again I have my "happy eyes" back. (They were the one thing on my face that I loved.) Recently I attended a ThermiTight / ThermiSmooth seminar that he and another plastic surgeon gave. It was very interesting and I decided (because I trust him so completely) to have him do the ThermiTight on my neck. The ThermiTight went beautifully. Again I had no swelling, pain or bruising. (The weird thing about all of this is that I bruise so easily ??) Right now Jillian, Dr. Ransom's medical assistant is doing ThermiSmooth on the fine lines I have around my eyes. It's very non invasive and I can definitely see a difference. So I am happy :) You would think that him having to BREAK my nose in order to correct it would be painful and that there would be swelling. But I didn't have any of that. He's just gifted Matt. So seriously Matt if your mom (from your picture it appears that you are young and handsome so You don't need any of this) but if your mom (and she's probably too young to need any of this right now either.) at some point, or one of her friends ever decide to do any of this, have them go see him. He's really, really good. *Matt I'm not quite sure what a Community Manager does (I'd love to know by the way) but is there any way you could fix my name to say S. Lewis instead of my whole name? I didn't realize that people could use abbreviations. That would be nice. (I feel like I have one of those spotlights on top of my roof going around and around all night :) But if you can't do it not to worry. Susan

Aw, you're so sweet! ^_^ Thank you for the recommendation. I'm so glad you've had such success with Dr. Ransom. It's amazing to be able to build such a solid relationship with your doctor.

There are a handful of us who all manage different treatment areas (and please know that the page at that link is in the middle of an overhaul). 

We're here to answer questions, point you in the right direction, mediate disputes, take feedback, and act as liaisons and advocates for our members. So please let me know if there's ever anything you need!
