"PLEASE READ………….. Dr. Pasha Mostofi, MD, is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. He preformed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, face lift, neck platysmaplasty, & rhinoplasty. I’d never had anything major done cosmetically. I was nervous. He put me at ease immediately. He is a perfectionist & that is what you want in a plastic surgeon. The first day I met Dr. Pasha Mostofi it was for Botox & a consult. He did my Botox injections I ask him about fillers for my face. He said you do not need them & I will never do anything that doesn’t enhance your appearance. I liked that he wasn’t trying to sell me on anything & he was honest. He then sit down next to me & brought out his iPad. He walked me through each of the procedures that I was wanting to have done. He showed me actual highlights of videos & pictures of his surgeries explaining what he would be doing to me to help achieve my goals. (Don’t worry he didn’t show the gory stuff). To have an understanding of the process was so very helpful. He wasn’t in a hurry either. He took his time. He answered all of my questions. Dr Pasha wasn’t trying to rush me so he could get out of the room with me to move on to the next patient. That meant a lot since most doctors visits are rushed these days. Fast forward to my surgery day. He came to see me before they took me back to the operating room. He ask if I had any questions. He put me at ease & it was GO TIME. The surgery went great!!! He even called me that night to check on me. Afterwards he gave me his cell number to text him with any concerns or questions that I may have before my follow up appointment. I did text him & he answered me within 15 minutes. Over the next couple of months as I heeled I text him a couple more times & he got back to me immediately. I couldn’t believe it. A doctor giving you his cell number & he text you back. I’ve never seen this in my lifetime. As the swelling & bruises started to heal I could tell a huge difference & now after 4 months I can see what a magnificent plastic surgeon Dr Pasha Mostofi truly is. My under eye bags & the hump in my nose are gone. I no longer have the sagging skin that made me look tired. My neck looks like it did 15 years ago. Family & friends that didn’t know I was having plastic surgery keep telling me how good they think I look. They ask me what am I doing to look so bright eyed & fresh faced. Some even use the word glowing. Hey, at 62 years old I sure love hearing those compliments. 😁 I am so happy with my results. I have more confidence & a big smile on my face. He has made such a difference in my life. I know that I’m blessed to have found not only a great plastic surgeon, but a good, decent, skilled, caring, friendly, talented human being in Dr. Pasha Mostofi. Forever Grateful, Kathy L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"I recently had Rhinoplasty by Dr. Hedden and I am more than happy to write this review. The results were exceptional and I’m very happy with the outcome. Including myself, now have 4 members of my family that have had great results over the years with Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery."
"Wonderful! I traveled from Memphis to Birmingham just to see him and I’m very pleased - i had my very first breast implants & lift w/ Dr. Hedden. a lot of my friends went to him so it was a no brainer for me. i traveled from Memphis to Birmingham just to see him and i’m very pleased. i’m 7 days post op, had very minimal bruising. he’s straight to the point but listens to your needs as well. his staff is very kind & informative. i will definitely be returning for a nose job once i get the boobs paid off :)"

"Dr. Hedden Did a Wonderful Job! - Birmingham, AL - I went in for my interview and he was very kind and understanding with what I wanted. I had a larger bump in my nose that I always was very self conscience about. He didn't try to persuade me into getting a drastic change which would have cost 9k or more. He simply agreed to keep it subtle and remove the bump to create an arch. Him and his staff were wonderful. Recovery went better than expected and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this doctor!Updated on 17 Nov 2016:"

"I have been overweight all my life. I was 49 years old, weighed 289 lbs, and extremely depressed. My feet, legs, hips and especially my back hurt. I wore a size 22/24 and my feet swelled so that I could only wear one pair of dress shoes comfortably and without embarassment. I considered gastric bypass surgery for a couple of years and had just witnessed one of my best friends go through it with great success.
I made the decision to have the bypass surgery, lost 150 lbs and felt great. I was wearing a size 6-8 and looked pretty good in clothes.
I was very happy but the weight loss left my 50 year old body with a lot of excess skin. My breasts, which had previously been a 42 DDD, had become what my fiancé termed as "36 LONGS." I had nothing left but empty skin sacks. My abdomen also hung with loose skin. My legs were extremely horrible with a lot of loose skin and my arms had "bat-wings."
I made an appointment with Dr. Hedden to talk about having four procedures. He gave me the prices for tummy tuck, breast lift, leg lift and arm lift. My legs were what bothered me most and I called to schedule that procedure first. I'd had large breasts all my life and having just the breast lift would have left me with a full B/loose C cup. After talking with Dr. Hedden, I decided to go up one cup size. That is a decision I do not regret.
I had the tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation done in his office. The staff was wonderful and very professional. I was given a prescription for pain killers and muscle relaxers. My first night was spent in a hotel room so that I could be close to Dr. Hedden's office in case of an emergency. My fiancé stayed with me, helped me to the restroom and cared for me. I had mild discomfort but it was nothing like what had been described by other people who "knew someone who had had the surgery and couldn't move for 6 weeks." I did just what the doctor ordered and had very little discomfort even having both procedures at once. The staff at Dr. Hedden's office marveled at my recovery time.
I am now a happy 36D with a very flat tummy. I love my new body and have been able to shop at Victoria's Secret for more than just the lotions! I will be going back for the other two procedures (legs and arms). Maybe after that I will have a facelift … after all I am 51 years old now!
I would highly and happily recommend Dr. William J. Hedden and his staff to anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery."
"No 'Plastic' Look for Me! - Birmingham, AL - I have lived in Birmingham for 10 years and have always heard of the wonderful work done by Dr. Hedden. So as I have gotten older I knew it was time to have a facelift. I was so nervous and scared to get that 'plastic' look but Dr. Heddens calming personality made it easy to scheduled a surgery date with him! I am only 3 months out from my surgery and am amazed and excited with my results! To me, I look and feel younger everyday!"
