RARE Perfection from This Skilled Surgeon & His Stellar Team

These days it seems earning “5-stars” is becoming almost commonplace – but, in my experience, Dr. Bates and his stellar team of professionals truly EARNED this rave rating of mine for Reveal Plastic Surgery. As I told him during my second post-surgery follow-up appointment, I literally CAN’T think of one iota of improvement needed as allllllll aspects of my interactions and patient care were simply exceptional, and flawlessly executed. Too bad I can’t give Dr. Bates & his team 10 stars as I gladly would!

I had a tummy tuck as well as additional lipo a month ago, and also wanted to have some facial filler for the first-time (which was done 2 weeks ago by Dr. Bates himself). Every single interaction from my first conversation with the wonderful Tammy through the surgery process itself and aftercare has consistently been first-rate – including Dr. Bates’ very candid answers to my questions when I was asking about fat grafting as he explained why that wouldn’t be a viable solution for my particular need, and his detailed answer highlighted his thoughtful as well as thorough approach to evaluating and personalizing his recommendations. BTW, those considering a tummy tuck should be aware you need to check out a surgeon’s expertise in “creating” your new belly button as some apparently do a horrific job, but not Dr. Bates – he even somehow made my gallbladder surgery scars nearly disappear (what a pleasant surprise!).

They have their own surgery center which was one of many things that helped me make the decision to go with Reveal after meeting with multiple other surgeons; and they also have two nurses on their staff, Shelly & Mary, who helped me via a number of calls both before and after my procedure, and Mary took good care of me on Surgery Day. They were both so warm, knowledgeable, helpful, and reassuring – and that’s the tone I consistently encountered with EVERY staff person at Reveal. Delightful professionals all. And I’m truly grateful for such a jaw-dropping outcome – my waistline has reappeared after being MIA for far too long! And I’m also so happy with the filler used to “erase” some irritating eyebrow creases. Overall, I am thankful indeed that I sourced such a high-caliber as well as caring surgeon in Dr. Bates, and want to publically extend my heartfelt Thanks to him and everyone at Reveal Plastic Surgery. Literally NO room for improvement….can’t get any better than that in this life!
