Thrilled with results: male tummy tuck and gyno surgery post-200 lb weight loss
Thank you for reading. RealSelf was helpful in my initial search last year, and it's great to give back with my own review of the surgeon I chose for my work: Dr. James Boynton of Houston, TX.
Summary:
The short review is that Dr Boynton and Boynton Plastic Surgery are fantastic. I would bring my own mother to only one cosmetic surgeon in the world, and it is Boynton.
My Journey:
Through a lot of work, I lost about 200 pounds without bariatric surgery. Due to my weight loss I identified several opportunities for cosmetic surgery: gynecomastia (male breast enlargement), significant skin and some trapped fat around my belly and sides, and a very fatty mons. I met with several surgeons in the Houston area, but my consultation with Dr Boynton was the most impressive. In that first meeting, we not only got to know each other as people, but he also gave me a reasonable idea of how he would proceed with my particular goals and issues in mind. I liked that. I could also tell that Dr. Boynton takes a thoughtful, safety-oriented approach to his work- rather than many surgeons who promised to do it all in one procedure, Boynton identified my need to take a more long-term, multistage approach. I felt safe and well cared for from day one.
My first procedure was in April and consisted of gynecomastia surgery with lipo on my flanks. The procedure itself went well, and I felt supported and cared for through the whole process. With Boynton, the surgery itself is only one step in the healing process, and the care and extreme attention to detail that was evident pre-surgery continued throughout my many follow-up consultations long after the procedure. I believe my healing and my final results have been improved by the excellent aftercare I received.
My biggest procedure came in July and consisted of an abdominoplasty and monsplasty with liposuction on my flanks. I'm currently healing from this, and as before, Boynton and his excellent staff have supported me, answered my questions, and coached me through a successful recovery so far.
In the future, I may need some follow-up procedures and I would not dream of going anywhere else. Dr Boynton's results, demeanor, and the excellent service at Boynton Plastic Surgery have won a loyal customer for life.
Pros:
- Dr Boynton himself is a unique and talented individual. His friendly, easy-going demeanor belies a true gift in finding the optimal solution to any cosmetic problem. His bedside manner and kindness cannot be beat, and he genuinely cares about me, my goals, and my results. I have no doubt that he is committed to my satisfaction. That's very important as anyone who is a veteran of these procedures could tell you.
- A great staff is as important as the surgeon himself, and Boynton's staff has exceeded my expectations at every turn. Kaitlin is my patient coordinator and Sofia is my nurse and they've been helpful and friendly throughout my procedures and aftercare. I have asked a million questions and his staff has shown patience and extensive knowledge in their responses. I am extremely grateful to them!
Cons:
-None. If anything negative came up with my healing or any third-party issues arose, Boynton and his staff dealt with it promptly as a caring and diligent advocate for my healing.
I'm always willing to answer questions and help guys (and gals!) like me who are looking into cosmetic procedures. I remember how confusing the search process is. Thank you for reading...I hope this was helpful for you.
