Plastic Surgery Saved My Life!…read more I did a crazy amount of research and read so many reviews before choosing Dr. Gary Lawton (aka The Perfectionist), and man, let me tell you how right I was. I literally drive from Austin to San Antonio to see him and have zero regrets, because he actually saved my life! I went in for your typical "mommy makeover"--a tummy tuck, breast lift, and reduction. My friends continually questioned why I wanted the reduction since I wasn't even that large to begin with. Even Dr. Lawton said I'd look great with just a lift. But I insisted on wanting to be smaller (a B cup is all I need!), and he immediately said okay. He didn't look at my partner for their opinion; he focused completely on what I wanted. Best decision of my life! On operation day, he checked in one last time while marking me up. I told him, "I want them cute, perky, and to never need a bra again." That is EXACTLY what I got, plus something extra. The pathology report from the removed tissue came back showing pre-cancerous cells. If we hadn't done the reduction, we never would have found it, and I would have most certainly developed breast cancer. If Dr. Lawton hadn't truly listened to my desires, I would have never known. When he had to break the scary news to me, his bedside manner was amazing--calm, caring, and honestly he was low-key excited to know he just saved a woman's life.He even took the time to personally call the oncologist and get me an immediate appointment to start treatment. The entire process has been incredible. His nursing staff answers all my random recovery questions via phone and email in plain terms and keeps me totally reassured. My in-person post-ops have been just as amazing. Also, shoutout to the anesthesiologist--literally one of the sweetest, kindest humans ever. I felt so safe. Going into major surgery comes with fears and doubts, but every single step of the way, I felt comforted and safe. I am so glad I chose Dr. Lawton for this life-changing event. Because he actually listened to me instead of just doing a lift, I get to live cancer-free. There aren't enough words to thank him. If you are looking to get "made over," choose Dr. Gary Lawton. He is worth it, and I trust him and his staff with my life. I will forever be grateful for his desire to listen to patients and be there every step of the way.

My oncologist recommended PRMA, who set me up with Dr. Whipple, and I'm so grateful they did. From the very beginning, Dr. Whipple and her nurse, Luisa, made everything feel manageable, even though I live almost 5 hours away. They went above and beyond to coordinate appointments and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for me. Dr. Whipple's skill, compassion, efficiency, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Luisa was always so friendly and quick to get back to me to address any concerns I had. They walked me through every step of the process with honesty and empathy and always made sure I felt informed and comfortable. I'm deeply grateful to have had such a good team by my side during such a vulnerable time. My results are better than I could've ever imagined. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Whipple to anyone facing this path.

I did not feel at ease or confident in my decision. I went to Dr Hiers after seeing her ad for awake lipo. I knew that I was leaning towards being awake because I hate being put to sleep.

I immediately booked my appointment During my procedure I felt no pain aside from the initial numbing which was like a small sting. 1 month later and I am still so happy. I love her and her staff so much! This office will forever be my go to for any procedures and facials! I recommend her to everyone ! Don't wait.

She said she would redo it at her expense, but I would have to pay the facility fee of $3,500...I was not happy, but wanted it done right. She was supposed to do a complete redo of the neck and facelift, but only did a single incision under my chin, making the scar bigger and the skin under my chin puckered with a dip in the middle. AGAIN, NOTHING CHANGED. She didn't do a single thing or single incision for the face and neck lift! I couldn't believe it. I went back again and told her that nothing we discussed was done. She agreed to do the face and neck lift with the appropriate incisions in office at no additional cost to me. When I spoke with the scheduler, they would only do it if I paid $500 for the use of the room. I paid it, and it was tentatively scheduled for May 2026. I haven't been back because I am skeptical that it will be done correctly a 3rd time, with more cuts on my face. I have paid $17,500 for nothing!! I could not be more dissatisfied. She is a nice lady, but I got NONE of what I paid for.

I am only reviewing the financial and business side of the experience. Be forewarned! Upsells,…read morehidden costs, and mass confusion await! They do not have entirety of the prices explained up front and if you get a "discount" you will most likely still pay for that. What was worse is the financial guy tried to up sell another procedure and he is not a medical provider. Keep in line with your business. He also could not adequately explain credit and credit inquiries. This business needs better business and office management, poor quality.

When I told him I wanted to be a specific size, he said they don't do things that way. I was then given the option of different size implants with cc's and was told to figure out which size I wanted. When I chose the smaller size, the staff and doctor recommended I size up, that I wouldn't be happy enough. They said everyone decides that what they went with was too small and always wishes they had gone bigger. When I woke up from the surgery, the first thing I said was, I hated them they were too big, the staff blew me off with that response and told me to come back for my follow up appointment. At all of my follow up appointments I voiced my concern about how I still did not like the way I looked, that they were too large. I was ignored by both the staff and the doctor every time I voiced my opinion about it. After my last follow up it was as if I no longer existed. I have now lived this way since 2015 hating my breasts every day.

However, Dr. Lawton and his compasionate staff explained that I would need to heal and assured me he would stand by his work. At times I worried, but realized that not all surgeries turn out the same for every person. In my case, I was left with an open incision. I never lost faith in him and I kept going to my post-op appointments and followed every instruction given until I healed. On my last appointment, Dr. Lawton assured me that I healed well and I am now ready for any reconstruction required. Of course, he is doing this free of charge and standing behind his work. I remain confident in him and feel the outcome will be positive. I plan to keep you informed. I will have my surgery in August 2023. (A bit late due to my schedule and his.)

I am an older woman and had several pre-existing health conditions so I knew I had to find the preverbal needle in the haystack award winning surgeon who would check off every box so that I would have 100% amazing results during surgery and in the months of post after care. After visiting with Dr. Gary Lawton, board-certified plastic surgeon, I knew I needed to look no further and booked my surgery on the spot. Dr. Lawton is a top notch plastic surgeon who specializes in various surgical enhancement procedures and with his 30 years experience in the field, medical expertise handling the most difficult of cases, absolute professionalism, and a private fully certified AAAASF ambulatory surgery center it was without hesitation I put my trust in Dr. Lawton and put my life in his hands. I am one week post op and am doing well, medical problems resolved and am completely happy with the results. Consider no one else for your surgery and after care but Dr. Gary Lawton, you won't regret your decision.

I wanted to share this for anyone trying to choose a surgeon...because I know firsthand how…read moreoverwhelming and important this decision is. When I first met Dr. Gassman, I'm not even going to lie... my first thought was, "He looks like Doogie Howser" I remember thinking, wait... are you old enough to be doing this?! But that feeling didn't last long. I came in with a million questions (seriously), and he answered every single one with patience, confidence, and detail. He never made me feel rushed or like I was asking too much which meant a lot during such a big decision. I also did a ton of research on him where he's worked, reviews, everything. That's when I learned how much he specializes in DIEP flap reconstruction and microsurgery, which made me feel even more confident in choosing him. I also loved learning that he has a passion for art and uses that in his work--and honestly, it shows. He is incredibly talented and takes pride in what he does. For reference, I'm 5'3" and about 205 pounds, so if you're someone who's plus size and wondering how this surgery might go for you--I hope this helps ease your mind. Also--before surgery, I was a very small A cup. I actually joked with Dr. Gassman and told him, "I'm the president of the itty bitty titty committee, and if you can get me out of the committee, I would greatly appreciate it" Let's just say... I woke up from my first surgery officially out of the committee--whoop whoop! I had my first DIEP flap surgery on December 3, 2025. I want to share this part because I know it's something everyone worries about--pain. For that first surgery, Dr. Gassman used nerve blocks, and he is phenomenal at them. I actually didn't use any pain medication at all, which still surprises me looking back. The recovery itself was tough (as expected with a major surgery), but the pain control was handled so well. I just had my second surgery on March 20, 2026, and I was honestly nervous...but it ended up being so much easier. I didn't have nerve blocks that time, and it honestly just feels like I did a really intense workout--more sore than actual pain. That was a huge relief. My results are looking good so far, and I even got a new belly button and was able to lower my scar, which I'm super grateful for ! I also want to recognize Dr. Elmi, who performed my double mastectomy. I originally started this journey as a preventative measure, but after my first surgery, she sat down with me and gently explained that I did in fact have cancer. She took the time to draw everything out and explain exactly what type it was in a way I could truly understand. Even though I don't live in San Antonio, she made sure I was set up with care back home in Florida, which meant so much to me. Looking back, I laugh at my first impression--but I'm so grateful I trusted both of these doctors. They are not only highly skilled, but they truly care about their patients. If you are trying to make this decision, I hope my experience gives you a little peace of mind. You will be in very good hands.
