Once again, here I am writing nothing short of an amazing review for Dr. Eades. I am actually currently 5 hours out of Tucson headed back across the United States after driving to him for my 2nd treatment. If that doesn't tell you his worth, I don't know what will. You can read my previous review from nearly 3 months ago, when he corrected my face from severe damage done by a vascular laser. It takes 2-3 attempts to fix something like this, and Dr. Eades came really close to not even needing to do a 2nd correction. There were a few areas that were damaged more so then others from that laser (caused by an entirely different doctor, to clarify) and he has gone above and beyond to fix it. The first fat transfer he repaired and rebuilt me from the inside out. Deep down under the muscle. The 2nd time, he focused on placing the fat and PRP under the skin to help more with surface imperfections. I am amazed at his knowledge and skills. I trust him completely and have spoke of him and Anita (his medical assistant who held my hand through everything) with honest rave reviews because that is entirely their deserving. I am so thankful. That's really all I have to say at this point. I have my life back, and I plan to continue to drive 2,000 miles every 3 months for PRP even though I could get it locally in my own town...and if I need more grafting/transfers then I know I can trust him to fulfill that need. I have no fears when in his care, and he truly listens and performs in a way that both corrects the problems as well as a patient's desired outcome. It may seem far fetched to call him the best doctor in the world, but in my book, he absolutely is. It really bothers me that all of his reviews (which are amazing) consist manly of breast implants, liposuction, etc... and there is actually very little pertaining to his fat transfer to the face from previous damage or fat loss. So, I had Anita record my procedure to help educate others and showcase this doctor's advanced skills in this area. I will post the video as soon as I get a chance. I'm literally currently traveling back East from AZ. Be sure to check back soon and I will have those posted. Dr. Eades, and Anita, I thank you more then words can say. I look forward to seeing you both again sometime. I feel nothing but relief when I am in your care. I see Dr. Eades as a universal eraser... he can literally erase permanent damage that you may expected to have to live with. He gives you hope, and that is more then I can say for most doctors.

I had the same damage occur with an IPL laser. Unfortunately for me it affected my jaw, jowls, cheeks, and eyes. Jaw, jowls, and eyes are very sensitive thin areas where lumps can easily form. I'd love to see your before and after pics prior to committing to any surgeon. I was thinking about going to Korea but if you can post before and after photos id consider your surgeon. The only other thing is youre still early in the process. You dont get a good idea until maybe a year later. Ive talked to many people that lose all of the fat transferred within 18 months so im anxious to follow your progression on here with photos if you allow it?

Hello there, I am SO sorry to hear of your awful experience. The vascular laser used on me literally changed me for life. I got head aches too caused from losing major vessels, etc... Dr. Eades was the first plastic surgeon in Tucson to even begin the fat transfer procedures 20 some years ago. He is ridiculously knowledgeable. I have watched how he cares for the fat after it is extracted, which is so important, and he does everything right. I did lose some fat after the first transfer but it was in normal amounts. He over corrected me on purpose which I am very thankful for. Even over corrected, I was very happy. Over the weeks to pass I felt my body accept the fat, allow it to mold where it needed to go, and then it slowly reabsorbed what had died or did not receive a good blood supply. Honestly, I could have not gotten the 2nd transfer done and still have been happy with my results. I wanted to though, to be sure I had replaced everything that that awful laser damaged. Dr. Eades gives a very natural appearance in his work. I have never had anyone ask me if I had anything done.

Along with the PRP and fat, I feel myself slowly healing. A few small surface scars remain, but are very much masked by the volume he has added and the PRP slowly regenerating cells, etc... but only I notice them. Of course I will post photos and even video. I have many to go through and upload. I promise to do that this week. I just got home from a very long drive, and it is on my top list of priorities.

I'd like to add, that even though he is listed as a plastic surgeon, I do not see him as that. I see him as a compassionate reconstructive surgeon who rebuilds from the inside out. He has made things that I thought were impossible, possible...and his team is great. I thoroughly enjoy being around all of them. They have wonderful bedside manners and Dr. Eades listens to your concerns and thoroughly answers questions. Also, the first fat transfer he scheduled me just 5 days out. No joke... he could see my pain and frustration and he was able to fit me in right away.

I will post those photos for you soon, you have my word.
