Provider Review
As you can see in the pictures my procedure went beautifully! Dr. Buchanan is an artist with a scalpel! He was aware of all of my concerns going into surgery. I did not want dog ears at the ends of my scar. Dr. Buchanan cut as far around my hips as he could to minimize the appearance of the dog ear as well as using liposuction aggressively to smooth out any fat deposits that would hang in an unflattering way. I was also concerned about scar symmetry. As you can see in the pictures Dr. Buchanan did a phenomenal job keeping my scar low and as even on both sides as possible. Dr. Buchanan also knew I would eventually want to wear a bikini, so he cut as low as he dared to cut so that even the skimpiest of bathing suits will cover the scar! Dr. Buchanan also worked a miracle with my belly button! As you can see in the 'before' picture my belly button was basically hidden under a flap of skin. Dr. Buchanan cut down the size and depth of my belly button, re positioned it perfectly to flatter my tummy, and sewed it back in place so that it is flat and perfect! It looks like my original belly button from my childhood! Dr. Buchanan also stitched my abdominal muscles back together. He was very aggressive in his stitching and was able to close a 4cm gap at the top of my abs and a 3.5 cm gap at the bottom of my abdominal muscle. This resulted in a flatter more firm and tight abdomen. Dr. Buchanan is an amazing and talented surgeon. But that is not where Dr. Buchanan's strengths end. He is also the most warm and welcoming doctor I have ever had the pleasure to know. From the very first consultation I felt at ease with him and felt I could trust him. He was honest with me about the risks and benefits of the tummy tuck. He took extra time to make sure I understood all of my options and helped me choose the best procedure for me to achieve the result I wanted. Once the surgery was completed his aftercare was outstanding! He called to personally follow-up with me on any questions I had and his office staff scheduled timely appointments for me to be seen. Dr. Buchanan is compassionate and warm and friendly. I can not say enough positive things about Dr. Buchanan and his office staff and nurses. They made my whole experience positive and excellent. If you are considering any plastic surgery procedure, please call Dr. Buchanan for a consultation!
