This is the result of the breast implant surgery performed in December 2020 by cosmetic surgeon…read moreAmber Allen of Allen Aesthetics in Raleigh, NC. Dr. Allen refused to revise at her expense, she also did not refund my money, and finally, when I took legal action, she refused consent for her insurance to compensate me in any way. It cost me $6000 for the original surgery by Dr. Allen and another $18,500 to revise by a reputable surgeon. I would recommend going elsewhere for surgical procedures. I want to start by saying that we are all human, and humans make mistakes. This is not about blame or vengeance. It's about taking accountability for mistakes and doing the right thing for patients. It's also about awareness to other women who are considering breast implants to do the research to find a skilled, reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon. In 2020 I had the best physique of my life, having just completed in a bodybuilding competition, and I wanted to enhance that with breast implants. I went from confident and proud to ashamed and depressed. Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror and this is what you see. It's called a severe double bubble. Even in clothes I looked like I had 4 breasts. I couldn't wear anything other than a sports bra. Furthermore, the implants had migrated so far laterally, that I couldn't move my arms forward past my torso without lifting them up over my breasts. There's more. The surgery deformed my areola and caused a loss of sensation to my nipples. I felt ashamed. I had wanted to improve my body and this is what I got. I felt guilty for not doing more research before hiring someone to perform the procedure. I didn't know that cosmetic surgeons are not the same as plastic surgeons; they have significantly less rigorous training compared to plastic surgeons. According to the revising physician (a highly reputable plastic surgeon), I will never be able to go under the muscle with implants again. I gave Dr. Allen the chance and plenty of time to make it right. She wanted to charge me to revise what is clearly bad work in the first place. I would expect a professional to take accountability for her mistakes and set higher standards for results that she leaves her patients. The right thing to do would have been to refund my money and refer me to a more skilled surgeon for the revision. I had to pay $18,500 to revise Dr. Allen's work. I hired an attorney to settle discreetly for part of the nearly $30,000 I lost by using Dr. Allen. She refused to even discuss the matter with my attorney. When the matters escalated to the insurance company, Dr. Allen yet again refused to allow her insurance company to compensate me. All I wanted was my body made right and my money back. Note that the 5/5 review for this practice is from the office manager...

I do not even know where to start with my satisfaction and appreciation for the experiences of the…read moreservices I have received by the amazing team at Dr. Allen's practice. My first encounter began with my consult for a breast implant replacement and lift. Over the past 6 years I have consulted with several doctors in NY (recently relocated here to NC), which resulted in only disappointing opinions of performing a lift. I am a more complicated case I will admit, however my visit with Dr. Allen absolutely left me with so much joy, optimism with a "yes" rather than a no. She was very thorough in explaining the difficulty and yes of course possible roadblocks that could occur with any such procedure, but never did I waiver from going forward with her. I am about 6 weeks out and it went incredibly well. I have the result I have always hoped for. My experiences at this office are not limited to Dr. Allen, as I have also had several procedures with Kyle. She is amazing and am always so thrilled with the results. She is incredibly careful and very precise in her treatments and always informative of what to expect prior and after each of them. Kyle has been a wonderful part of my ongoing quest to be the best version of myself that I can be. Now on to Ashley and Maxine! They are such warm and endearing ladies that complement all of what I have expressed here and are unwavering in their support and positivity! Never have I felt that I am just another patient, and am treated with such individuality, which in my experience is a rare occurrence. My journey will continue with these incredible ladies who I honestly consider my friends and recommend anyone seeking cosmetic procedures to meet with this Team, I am confident you will walk away with the same experiences I have had.

At the age of 65 I am hesitant to go under anesthesia, especially for an elective surgery. So when…read moreI went into Dr. Blanton's office to discuss my saline implants and how one had deflated recently I knew I was going to choose the least invasive option. Dr. Blanton's office staff makes you feel so at ease. Keely on the phone is so warm and friendly. You feel as if you have known her for a while. When Dr. Matthew Blanton's walked in I felt almost immediately that he is the right doctor to handle my situation. We discussed options for removing the existing implants totally and doing nothing cosmetically and how that would look as i age into my 70s. Dr. Blanton's went through videos of other patients with similar situations and other options which included a breast lift after the removal of the implants. He also offered replacing the implants with new ones and was transparent in the fact that, in the future, there is a high probability that one or both would deflate again and need attention. He spent almost a full hour listening to me, hearing the anxiety in my voice over anesthesia at my age, and truly weighing the best options for my body, age, and current physical health status. Then Summer joined Dr. Blanton's for my physical exam to confirm our pathway forward. I felt so comfortable with my new team that I inquired about extra skin removal in my abdomen area. Whichever way I go with Dr. Blanton's and his team of professionals, just the implant removal with breast lift or add in the abdominal skin/fat fix, I am confident that I have chosen the best doctor to attend to my needs with a team of dedicated health care workers who will see me through successfully from pre-op to post-op and through my rehabilitation. I have now had my breast implant removal surgery and breast lift as of 9/25. I made the BEST choice for sure. My surgery team was nothing short of spectacular. From my anesthesiologist to my care team, every single one of them was experienced and kind. Dr. Blanton has a great and caring bedside manner and his skill as a surgeon is surpassed by none. Thank you all. My post op care was very solid. I followed every instruction and healed perfectly. I am 8 weeks after my surgery and back to my physical regimen. Loving life and glad I had this done at 65 and not 75!

He shows you plenty of pictures, different aspects of the procedure, and answers all questions you have. His nurse Lisa that helped through the whole process is great too. The day of surgery he took his time before going through what was needed and made sure I had no last minute questions and called the night of surgery to make sure I was okay. I am thrilled with the job he has done and how little bruising that I have! I recommend him to anyone needing any plastic surgery!

My experience with Dr. Law and all the people in his office was superb. I never imagined writing a…read morereview about something so personal, but a lot of people don't discuss plastic surgery. I did a lot of research and asked people I knew in the medical professional about choosing a plastic surgeon. This helped me select Dr. Law as one of the plastic surgeons I would see in consultation. His before and after photos were great, but what most impressed me was that he really listened to me and I felt like he provided a surgery plan based on my goals and my own face. I didn't feel like a number. Initially, I was surprised, and kind of put-off by the fact that his office doesn't offer financing. But they explained the down side of financing in a way that made sense. Scheduling surgery was easy. He is clearly type A+ and has a very well thought out schedule that takes into consideration post operative visits, etc. His office is beautiful and the surgery area is so nice. My husband was with me during the consultation and Dr. Law carefully explained his plan to both of us during the consultation and again and the pre-operative appointment. Two days before surgery we received a call from his nurse and she once again confirmed where to be, what to do to prepare and asked if we had any last minute questions. My sister accompanied me to surgery. Everyone there made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. They were great with my sister too. The results of my facial surgery, a neck lift and eye rejuvenation was beyond my expectations. I had virtually no pain. The first couple of nights my eyes were a bit puffy so I had an ointment to keep my eyes from being dry. My neck looked great immediately and my eyes were beautiful less than a week after my surgery. I did have a V laser for the incision under my chin to help with healing. I wasn't concerned with the scar, but if it's free, I'm going to take advantage of it. It has been about nine months since surgery and I am so happy I did this for myself. I highly recommend Dr. Law and his team.

I go to Blue Water Spa, the medical spa he owns. I wanted to stay ahead of aging issues, so I got a consultation for a facelift. This man took so much time with me, answered all of my questions and he actually told me that I really didn't need a facelift! He asked about all of my concerns and I pointed out all the things that bothered me. Based on my concerns, and his evaluation, I ended up getting liposuction of the chin and an upper blephoplasty which is just a little skin from the upper eyelid removed. The change is weirdly both subtle and dramatic. My eyes are opened up more, and my jawline is perfection. My recovery was not painful at all and I could not believe how fast I was back to my normal routine. There are no visible scars as he made incisions in the regular creases. My eyes were puffy and red for about four or five days. I never even had bruises. I just wore large sunglasses for a week. People asked me about makeup or skin care. I just look better but I don't look like I've had surgery. I am so happy with my results. I think I can put off surgery for quite a few years, but when it is time for a facelift, I know exactly where to go!

After a lot of searching, I found Dr. Hunter, and I'm so glad I did. From the very first consultation, I knew my experience would be different. Dr. Hunter personally greeted my family and me in the lobby, which immediately made me feel welcome. During my consultation, I shared all of my concerns and the areas I wanted to improve. He listened carefully, never rushed me, and offered thoughtful recommendations based on my goals. I've been to many medical appointments where I've left feeling unheard, but that was never the case with Dr. Hunter. His confidence, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence in my decision. I had my surgery in December, and now that I'm six months post-op, I can honestly say I LOVE the way I look. My results exceeded my expectations while still looking natural. One thing I was initially nervous about was that I didn't see many women who looked like me on the website. However, from beginning to end, I was treated with exceptional care and respect. The hospitality from the entire Amelia team was truly unmatched. Every interaction made me feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, and that meant everything to me. Whenever I had a question or concern, someone responded quickly by phone or email. I never felt like I was navigating my recovery alone. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Hunter and every member of the Amelia team for helping me through this journey. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I've made, and I would recommend them without hesitation. For anyone considering a mommy makeover, my procedure included: * Tummy tuck * Small hernia repair * Breast reduction * Liposuction to the flanks Thank you, Dr. Hunter and the entire Amelia team, for helping me feel confident in my own skin again. I will forever be grateful.
