Dr. Andrew B. Denton, Facial Plastic Surgeon

Susan B., a 57 year old female
Upper lid blepharoplasty (eyelift)

In her own words:

Dr. Denton and his staff deserve a lot of credit, not only for their expertise, but also for the professional and considerate manner that they demonstrated throughout the process.

It was Dr. Denton's attention to detail that enabled him to first recognize and correctly diagnose the problem.

He was also forthright and clear with me in describing what kind of improvements I could realistically expect from the surgery.

Both he and his staff were friendly, approachable, and treated me with respect; making me feel comfortable during each visit.

It was easy for me to grow to trust them.

That's my story. The fact that my eyelid lift was a great success and that Dr. Denton and his staff were so professional and caring makes it easy for me to recommend him to others.

A big thanks to all of them.

Susan

Dave A., a 32 year old male
Rhinoplasty

In his own words:

During my consultation, Dr. Denton was totally up-front with me about the expected results following surgery on my nose. In the end, what he accomplished far exceeded both of our expectations.

I definitely have to say that Dr. Denton is almost uncanny in his ability to make a realistic judgment call on the problem and the solutions. He looked over my problem, appraised the possibilities, and gave me a definite answer. He didn't waste my time with anything vague.

Dr. Denton fully explained what discomfort I would experience after the surgery on my nose. I was totally prepared.

During surgery, the hump was removed, the tip shaped and the area between the nostrils was made to appear normal. After the rhinoplasty my breathing was optimized. I couldn't be happier after a lifetime of having a huge complex about my nose.

About ten days after my surgery, I returned to see Dr. Denton to have the external cast removed.. When I walked out into the fresh air, the first thing I did was take a deep breath in through my nose. After a lifetime of having such a huge problem with my breathing, that breath of fresh air was like a spiritual experience.

Now here's the best part. My girlfriend - who had encouraged me to have this surgery in the first place - is now worried that she's going to lose me to another girl because my new nose makes me so much better looking!

Troy F., a 34 year old male
body liposuction

In his own words:

I eat a low-fat diet, avoid processed foods and try to get a lot vegetables. I've been working with a personal trainer and working out 3 times a week for years. I had a fairly low body fat ratio - 12%. I do a lot of cardio and weight lifting but I was never able to lose the fat around my midsection.

My father tends to have a bit of weight around his stomach, so I guess it's inherited. In elementary school I was always the skinniest kid and yet I had love handles on my sides even then.

I met with Dr. Denton through a referral from another doctor. I'd been thinking of getting liposuction for almost 10 years so I had already done a lot of research about it online. I had read up on the various techniques and looked at a lot of before and after photographs. I had my questions prepared when I met with Dr. Denton and he answered every one of them. I was impressed with his knowledge and manner and had no doubts about selecting him as my surgeon.

I was completely asleep for the procedure and remember nothing. Before and after the surgery, the staff and nurses were extremely professional and very friendly.

After the liposuction, I experienced no real pain. I was itchy for about a month but that was all. I took a long weekend off and was back at work 4 days later. I was working out at the gym again in 3 weeks.

My pant waist size had gone down 2 inches and I have no fat on my stomach - finally! I did the surgery for myself, but my girlfriend is very happy with the results.

I think that the technology used for liposuction is important but not as important as the skill of the surgeon. The areas where I had liposuction are smooth and blend naturally into the areas that were not treated. I almost can't believe how great it turned out. I've already recommended Dr. Denton to a few of my friends.

The Problem: Despite regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Troy was unable to lose his stomach and love-handle fat
The Treatment: Tumescent liposuction
The Result: An abdominal contour that exceeded his expectations


Heather L., a 25 year old female
Rhinoplasty

In her own words:

When I first met with Dr. Denton, I was a little embarrassed and shy about discussing my problems with my nose. But he was so attentive and understanding that I immediately started to feel more comfortable.

Computer imaging was an invaluable part of the consultation. Seeing my face so clearly on the monitor -- and being able to point at specific areas -- made it a lot easier to express how I felt. When I saw Dr. Denton make the adjustments to the image, I felt we were both 'on the same page'.

Having had less than satisfactory results from a previous surgery, I understood how crucial it was to choose the right doctor for a revision. I felt that Dr. Denton was the right choice, in part because of his skills and training, but also because it was clear how much he cares for and respects his patients.

Making arrangements for the surgery was no problem - I found the Patient Care Coordinators to be helpful, friendly and efficient. The surgical staff and nurses were professional, reassuring and kind.

When the cast came off one week later, I was pleased to see a nice, straight profile. It takes a long time for a rhinoplasty to fully heal, but I could already see an improvement. As the months went by, we were both pleased to see how natural it looked.

I'm so glad I made the decision to have my nose fixed. When I talk about my cosmetic surgery with people it's surprising to find out how many people have had one or two things done.

Now I'm looking forward to my wedding next summer, and being happy with how I look in all those wedding photos.
