"Dr. Gunn is so wonderful, he was a blessing to me on Thursday my procedure process went very well, also my recovery is doing great also. I just want to say I’m so thankful for the wonderful staff and especially the surgeons who made my day worth while ! You all are awesome 👏🏾"
"Dr. Gunn is awesome to say the least! He done my breast implants and I’m so happy I chose him to do them. After the surgery, I took a short nap then got up, went shopping and to a movie with my husband. Dr. Gunn was very thorough and answered any and every question I had! The nurses are all so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful also. The anesthesiologist was great and talked me through the whole process. Thank you for such an amazing experience!"
"I had my surgery on February 6 with doctor Gunn.. he’s very nice and talked to me and my husband.. We went over what I was expecting and what size I was needing.. his bed side matters are on point he’s very generous, gentleman.. very kind and good looking lol… he told me with my size I wouldn’t want to go to big but go with what would be a good size for my body so i went with 400 cc that made me C cup and I’m glad I didn’t go any bigger my top still needs to stench out.. but over all I am so glad I didn’t go to any other surgeon.. if I send him a message he answers me in a timely matter… love hedden and Gunn.. I’ll be going back if I need anything else done that’s for sure and the nurses they are very helpful nice.. so if your looking for a change I hope you choose them for your make over.."
"Dr. Gunn did my breast reduction and lift. He was very nice and professional. My results look amazing! I am soo happy with my new look!!"
"Dr. Gunn and the staff were amazing, informative, and very caring throughout my entire care plan. From helping me decide what would work best for what I wanted, to keeping me on track with my progress and after care. I cannot recommend them enough!"
"After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful."
"I cannot recommend Dr. Hedden and his staff highly enough! From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Dr. Hedden took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions in detail. Their expertise and knowledge gave me complete confidence in the procedure I chose. What I appreciated most was the emphasis on safety and post-operative care. The staff ensured I was well-informed throughout the process and provided fantastic follow-up support. If you're considering plastic surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Hedden and Gunn Plastic Surgery."
"The staff here is so friendly! Also, Dr. Gunn is amazing!!!!! I recommend anyone that goes here to go see Dr. Gunn. My breast reduction looks soo good! He got me down to the size that I wanted. Everyone here is the best! I will definitely refer people to Dr. Gunn! :)"
"Dr. Gunn is amazing! @tummytuck"
"From the consultation to post op, I couldn't have planned a better experience! Due to many factors I had to change my procedure date multiple times, and they worked with me every time. I am so beyond thankful for Dr. Gunn and all of the staff I encountered at every visit. Highly recommend! If there's ever another procedure I want to have, I will be using them again."

At this point, I am considering a BBL revision along with the tummy tuck. I will definitely post an update."
"I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Hedden 05/07/24. From the virtual consult (I’m an out of state pt) forward I had nothing but a great experience! Their out of town coordinator, Heather, is such a pleasure and does her job very well! I had consults at other practices but no one made me feel as if they were confident in their ability to give me what I wanted except for Dr. Hedden. I’m 4 weeks post op and only wish I had done this sooner!! As a 37yr old mom of 3, my breast volume had decreased. Dr. Hedden has given me a great deal of confidence in my body. I’m able to actually fill out to top part of a bra now! He answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and never made me feel like I was just another procedure under his belt. In addition, the anesthesiologist was awesome, the nurses, financial dept, out of town coordinator…every single person I encountered at Hedden & Gunn were so wonderful! I will & have recommended Dr. Hedden to several ladies! ❤️"

"2 days Post Breast Augmentation - I'm on day 2 of recovery from my breast augmentation. It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. The only parts that suck are feeling like potato( you literally can't do anything), and that the muscle relaxers make you super sleepy. Stopped taking the pain meds i was prescribed and switched to Tylenol because I didn't like the way Norcos made me feel. My chest feels sore and tight and still very swollen. But this is all to be expected. Dr. Hedden at Hedden and Gunn plastic surgery center was amazing. All of the staff did a great job with me. It was an all around amazing experience. I started out at large A/small B and asked to be a D. He did 450cc on each side. Smooth, round, high profile silicone. More updates to come! *they look shiny because I've been applying vitamin E to try to prevent stretch marks *Updated on 25 Apr 2024:Dropping more and more everyday. Liking the results so far. Still a little sore and swollen. Feeling to the nerves becomes more painful by the day and it’s causing a bit of discomfort but nothing major. Usually subsides by week 3.

"Nothing but great things to be said about Dr. Gunn and staff! Being an OR RN, I was worried about how my incision would look, but he meticulously placed it symmetrical and low where my bikini and underwear covers it completely. I am SO IN LOVE with my new body and super amazed at my results. I appreciate everything more than words can say and highly recommend!!!"
"A Whole New Me! - What a life-changing experience with Dr. Halka! As a 45-year-old woman, wife, and mother, I finally realized that taking care of myself IS taking care of my family. I decided to put myself and my health first for a change and set a goal to lose the excess weight I've been carrying around my entire life. With bariatric surgery, a complete lifestyle change to a low-carb diet, and 4-6 intense 5 am workouts weekly, I lost 110 pounds and have maintained the loss for two and a half years. This was ah-mazing! However, after two years of hard work and dedication, my body was still a saggy, floppy mess even after the incredible weight loss. I decided to go for a Mommy Makeover consultation at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery after following them on Instagram for about a year. I met with Dr. Halka, who was very thorough and took his time explaining everything, answering all of my questions, and addressing all of my concerns. I went on two other consultations in Huntsville, AL, and Chattanooga, TN as those locations are closer to my home, but ultimately, I chose Dr. Halka's plan for the procedure and recovery because it was the best. We decided on a 360 body lift with muscle repair and lipo, breast augmentation with 500 cc Mentor silicone implants placed above the muscle, and fat transfer to the buttocks. The procedure went smoothly with no complications, and I followed the post-op instructions to the letter. Now, 12 weeks post-op, I am incredibly happy with my results. Dr. Halka didn't just perform a Mommy Makeover, he created a whole new version of me. I'm in the best shape of my life and finally, at 47 years of age, I feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable in my skin. I'm incredibly grateful for Dr. Halka's kindness, talent, and expertise. I can't imagine having a better experience."
"After losing 110 pounds, I was left with excess skin, and I decided to consult with Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery for a Mommy Makeover after following them on Instagram for a year. During the consultation, Dr. Halka was very patient, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns. Although I went on two other consultations, I chose Dr. Halka's plan for the procedure and recovery since it seemed to be the best for me. The procedure went smoothly, and I followed all the post-op instructions meticulously. Now, after 12 weeks post-op, I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Halka didn't just perform a Mommy Makeover; he transformed me entirely. I'm now in the best shape of my life and finally feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable in my skin at 47 years old. I'm grateful for Dr. Halka's kindness, talents, and expertise, and the Hedden & Gunn staff's professionalism, kindness, and accommodation made the experience even better. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience."
"My experience was wonderful at Hedden & Gunn! Dr. Halka was my surgeon and I was extremely pleased with my results. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Halka listened to me fully and instructed me every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Dr. Halka to anyone!"
"My sister came to Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery to get some work done, and she was thoroughly happy with the level of service. Great group of people who work here at this clinic. Would recommend 10/10!!!"
"The did my consult, my surgery and my after care appointments. The staff and the doctors are AMAZING. I would highly recommend Dr.Gunn to anyone for anything."
"Dr. Gunn and his staff are wonderful!!"
"Dr Gunn done my augmentation in April, beyond happy with the results! Exceeded my expectations"
"I am six weeks out from my procedure and I cannot be happier with my results. Dr. Gunn and the staff at the clinic were very informative, helpful throughout the entire process, and very caring. More than once I got calls during the first few weeks to check on me. Every question was answered with as much information as I needed. I cannot recommend him and his staff high enough, and could not be more appreciative of the care that I've received."
"Belt lipectomy - results 6 weeks post-op are amazing, very caring - My treatment listed here is for a Tummy Tuck because what I actually had isn't listed as a treatment.I was referred to Heddn & Gunn Plastic Surgery by a former patient, and when I went in for the consultation, it was originally for a tummy tuck. After meeting with Dr. Gunn and talking about what I wanted, he was very informative about my particular body issues, made some recommendations, and I wound up having a Belt Lipectomy. The results, six weeks post-op, are amazing. I look in the mirror and I can't believe what I see. What I got was so much more than I expected, and I cannot be happier with the results.Also, the entire staff at the clinic is kind and caring. I got phone calls the first few weeks to check on me, and during my visits, or if I called the clinic - no question was "too much" or met with anything but all the information I asked for and more.I would definitely recommend Dr. Gunn and this clinic!"
"Fantastic Dr. And Staff - very helpful during healing process - Dr. Gunn is very personal and caring about his patients. I was referred to another Dr. But I am so glad I chose Dr. Gunn and his staff to assist in what I wanted. He and his staff have been very helpful and concerning for my well being during my healing process."
"March of 2020 I had a BA. Dr Gunn was my surgeon. The staff and Dr. Gunn were so nice and accommodating. Would recommend this office for any type of PS you are needing."
"Amazing experience at Hedden & Gunn! Dr. Pasha walked me through the benefits of botox, lip fillers, and PDO threads. Initially, I was super nervous, but his attention to detail and calmness were amazing. Love my results for all three procedures."
"Doctor Hedden and his staff change lives! I flew in from Jacksonville Florida for a fractional and breast augmentation. Best decision ever! From the very beginning I felt at ease. The staff was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Doctor Hedden took his time answering all my many questions and made me feel comfortable and safe. I knew EXACTLY what to expect pre and post up. No surprises. The facility is top notch, very CLEAN and peaceful. I also had an opportunity to visit their spa for a pre op facial with Honey. It was a great way to start the journey. Most importantly , am very happy with my results! So excited for the future! No doubt it's because I went with Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery. Dont risk going with someone else. You're worth it."
"I have had several different procedures performed by Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery from face and neck peels, Mohs surgery with skin graft, to facials, massages, hair, manicures, pedicures, skin care line and have been very pleased with everything they do. The staff is very professional and personable. So glad they were recommended to me. See you soon, Traci!"
"Hedden and Gunn Plastic Surgery is amazing!! My experience has been wonderful! The staff is so nice and very knowledgeable. The facility was clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. I am extremely pleased with the results of my surgery done by Dr Hedden and would highly recommend anyone looking for cosmetic surgery or spa services to go here!"
"You will never convince me that there is a better group of plastic surgeons out there! Had my reduction on march 7th and you literally can barely see my incision! I look amazing! And i owe it all to Dr. Gunn! Their staff is top notch!!"
"I traveled over two hours to Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery based on the recommendation of a previous patient for Dr. Hedden, and I am so happy I did! I am more than pleased with my results. The staff was accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. Dr. Hedden did an outstanding job with my procedure. What I like most is that he's about his patient, not the money. He was honest with me about a procedure I was considering but didn't need to do. He could have quickly done it and taken my money. I highly recommend Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery!"
"I went to the Hedden & Gunn practice upon recommendation from a medical professional for a medically necessary eye lid procedure. Very pleased with the high level of professionalism and courteous staff and especially pleased with the results. Thank you to everyone at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery that made my experience wonderful!"
"This practice is extremely professional, and the service rendered is second to none regarding cost and quality. I highly recommend using Hedden and Gunn for all plastic surgery needs. They also have a great spa with anything and everything pertaining to skin care. I am very surprised to see one-star reviews and I assume this is due to getting turned away after going through their very diligent consulting process to keep patients safe."
"Dr Hedden and staff are wonderful, caring and very informative. You definitely won’t be disappointed with choosing Hedden and Gunn Plastic Surgery. They listen to you to understand what you want and have amazing results."
"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."
"I absolutely loved the experience and the staff was amazing and Dr gunn is awesome 👌 this day one for me. I'd definitely recommend hedden and gunn. I will be posting more updates throughout my healing process and the service I receive. I absolutely love the results of my breast augumentation!"

"I have been wanting this every since I had my baby last August. I had diastasis recti so I still looked pregnant months after and my boobs were sagging. I originally wanted to do it in Atlanta but could not get away. I researched all the surgeons here in Birmingham and Dr Gunns office had some of the best reviews. He is very sweet and personable. I am happy with my results. I do still have swelling so being patient. I also think I will need revision surgery due to the dog ears. I will see what he says when I go back in February. Will have to try again to upload before picsUpdated on 13 Dec 2022:These are my before pics. You can see I look pregnant and my babies are saggy. I hated the way my clothes looked. I felt like I always needed spanx. I was a C but was not a full C because of the sagging. I went to a full C. At times I do wish I would have gone bigger but I'm happy."
"4 days post-op and so far my results look amazing - Dr. Gunn in Birmingham AL is absolutely amazing. I'm 4dpo now. Tightness in my abdomen is really the only discomfort I'm having. So far my results look amazing. The hardest part to me has been the process of getting up. Having the BA at the same time took away the ability to use my arms for support. But by the second day PO I was able to get up without assistance.Updated on 23 Feb 2023:"
"Had 7 consultations and he is the surgeon I felt most comfortable with - Dr Gunn and Team were/are amazing. I have had little to no pain, I am 3 weeks post opt today. I was back at work 3 days later. I could not be any happier with my results. Dr G. took his time and explained everything, he answered any and all questions. He is easy to get in contact with if you have questions or concerns. He had even text me back after hours. After telling Dr. G what I was wanting and asking for his recommendation we agreed on 450 cc, they are PERFECT, exactly what I've always wanted. I will always recommend Hedden and Gunn. Thank you Dr Gunn and Team! Side Note: I've had 7 consultations and Dr G is the surgeon I felt most comfortable with. I drove 3 1/2 hours :) "
"Have had the absolute best experience with Dr Gunn and the staff/nurses!"
"Had the absolute best experience with Hedden and Gunn. Heather who is the out of town coordinator helped me through the entire process. Traveled from Colorado to have my procedure done. Doctors and nurses were amazing and made me feel very comfortable. I am a week post-op and am able to raise my arms and lift my baby. Obsessed with the results already. Thank You!"
"I almost didn’t try this doctor because of a negative review talking about “how rude” the staff was. I have been to this facility many times and not once have they been rude. Thankfully I didn’t listen to that person. I’ve had a breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and lipo from Dr Gunn back in May of this year, and he did an excellent job! I’m actually scheduled to go back next year for some extra surgery. I am so glad after researching many doctors, I went with this one. I had such a good feeling when I walked into the building. The staff is kind and helpful, the doctors are upfront, patient, and kind, and the whole process of the surgery was flawless. Highly recommend"
"I have had the BEST experience with Hedden and Gunn plastic surgery! The staff is AMAZING, they have answered all my questions and have made me feel so comfortable and confident that I am making the right decision! I can not wait for my BA!"
"I got my tummy tuck done and Lipo on my flanks done on 11/08. They were very apologetic about how long I had to wait to get it done. They also kept my hubby updated so he wasn’t having to wait there for hours. I really appreciated that. Dr. Gunn made me feel very comfortable and was very apologetic about the wait. He did a phenomenal job on my surgery."
"Finally Got my Breasts Done !! I'm So Happy ! - I finally got my breast augmentation after wanting it for yearsss. I paid for my surgery in April .. Scheduled it in Birmingham, Alabama for July 23rd. The day of surgery was pretty smooth. I was nervous but the anesthesia knocked me out within minutes ! It wasn't as bad as most people said it would be. Just a lot of tightness and pressure. I went with 550CC on the left and 525CC on the right. Before surgery, I was either a 32DD OR A 34D. NOW I'm either a 36DDD or a 38DD. My only Advice is if u want your breasts done DO IT ! IT IS SOO WORTH IT. If u do decide to do it , get plenty of rest! Take someone with u that u can definitely depend on to help u . Let people help u! I will update u guys as time passes. Also, if u want to go the affordable way and get really good results , I would refer my doctor . Doctor Gunn or Doctor Hidden at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. I traveled 14 hours just to get to them. Good luckUpdated on 1 Sep 2021:I will be 6 weeks post op on Friday ! My dressings on my stitches came off 3 weeks post op.. I started sleeping on my side about a couple weeks ago . My breasts definitely have dropped tremendously. Up until about a week ago , my breasts were extremely swollen (especially the right one).. but it gets better with time . Time definitely makes a huge difference & I am in love ! I can’t wait to fully heal .Updated on 1 Dec 2021:Hey guys .. just wanted to update u guys .. My actual bra size is 34i . I’m still shocked about that!. My boobs are super cute and natural looking now & they have became apart of me . I will update u guys as time passes .Updated on 22 Jul 2022:Tomorrow will officially be 1 year since my breast augmentation .. I found out that I have Natrelle implants .. I had 465cc on the right filled to 525cc and 500cc on the left filled to 550cc .. i love my boobs !! They have completely dropped and everything .. I forget that they are even there!! If u are considering getting them done , this is your sign !!"
"I had my consult today and everyone was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Gunn himself had a wonderful bedside manner! So excited for my upcoming breast lift!"
"Hey Dr. Gunn did my surgery on Tuesday 5/4/21 I got a TT w/Lipo to the flanks.. I’m 3 days post op and so far I’m happy with my results... I’m trust the process even though I’m very very swollen.. I highly recommend the Exparel shot to anyone that’s thinking about getting the surgery because without that I would not have been able to take the pain.. my pain score was a 8 even with the shot. My only complaint is that I still have a little back fat/ rolls, love handles what ev… See more"

"Tummy tuck/muscle repair and breast lift - I feel really good! - I’m 8 days PO and I must say, I feel really good! My recovery is not at all what I expected. I was terrified of being in excruciating pain and being helpless! The first day was kinda crazy because I was so doped up, so that was a blur. Day 2 was much better, I slept in my own bed, glad I didn’t go a get a recliner, but I guess it works for some.I’m an active person with being a group fitness instructor, so I really think that helped me out a lot. I had no real pain, just discomfort, and by day 4, I was pretty much self sufficient, I no longer need help with getting up and down, I was caring for my own incisions, emptying my drains (which I hate), and taking showers on my own!I did a lot of praying not to be helpless, even though my hubby and family were there if I needed them, I did what I could on my own. I took a while but I got it done! I still have swelling and the drain sites are irritating but I’m staying in my garment most all day. No problems at all with my breast, I’m so pleased with them.My doctor and his staff were excellent and made me feel special, he made me feel like he took pride in giving me what I wanted, so Kudos to Dr. Gunn and staff! I’m definitely glad I did it just hate I didn’t do it sooner. Today I cooked, washed clothes, and did light housework. I go back on Thursday, at that time I hope they remove the drains, so I can get back to life! No pics yet but I’ll have my doctor email them so I can share."
"BBL with dr.gunn - I had my BBL and 4 areas of lipo by Dr Gunn. I'm three weeks weeks post op. I'll start off by saying that I'm super happy with my results and I think Dr Gunn is an amazing surgeon! He's compassionate, he listens to what you want and is straight forward with helping you to be realistic about your surgery. He doesn't rush you. He listened to all my long list of questions. He gave me exactly what I wanted. The fact that you can text him with any questions is amazing as well. I highly recommend him. I saw Dr. hedden the next day after surgery, he was awesome as well. Both surgeons are kind and professional. I have no complaints and nothing negative to say about either surgeon.The only one negative experience with having my surgery at Hedden plastic surgery is the nurses. They are rude and are not just not kind and warm which is what you expect with a nurse. My pre op nurse was sweet, my post op nurse was terrible. She didn't help me at all it was actually the receptionist( with the British accent) that offered me water and crackers after surgery. my post op nurse was complaining that everyone left her, complaining about her children as well. (I don't know her name but shes middle aged with brown hair) This was while I was waking up after surgery. I did hear her say that Dr Gunn called to check on me so that made me feel better. They could use new nurses but overall my experience was positive. The surgeons are amazing so don't let the nurses stop you from having surgery with them."
"I had a bbl on Aug7 wit dr.Gunn I went with him because he did my boob job and I was really comfortable with him . But the bbl is way different than the boobs I was in so much pain the 1st and 2nd day today I am 3 days post op and it's getting way better I love my results the are the [RS bleep]. But your considering him he didn't disappoint"

"I loved him. He was very straight forth with everything. I asked about a possible BBLand he informed me I would not have enough fat and he felt it would be a waste of money. Very informative on my breast augmentation. I just loved all of the staff."
"Dr Gunn was amazing not only in answering all my questions but assuring me there was no reason to be nervous and I believed him! The office is beautiful and the staff was super friendly and helpful! I would HIGHLY recommend Hedden and Gunn to anyone wanting to make a cosmetic change. I’m 5 months out after implants and I’m soooo happy with my results."
"I am 3 weeks post op breast augmentation and loving my results. Dr. Gunn did an amazing job & staff made me feel very comfortable. I want him to do all my future procedures! ❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️☺️ Edited to add; I just had my second procedure(s) with Dr. Gunn (tt, bbl, lipo) and I’m only a week in! I know I have a while until I recover fully and see final results but so far I’m loving my new body. I fully trust Dr. Gunn & I’m so happy with my decision!"
"My experience with Dr. Gunn was absolutely phenomenal! He exceeded my expectations and was truly amazing! I have so much more self confidence since my procedure in December! I recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery all the time! I'll continue to use them for all of my needs!"
"Had reduction today, I’m loving what I’m seeing so far and size. Dr. Stephen Gunn did awesome job and I feel great too. Highly Recommend Dr. Stephen Gunn 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾"
"I unfortunately had procedure done in Panhandle of Florida and the result were less than desirable. I drove 4.5 hours and had a consultation with Dr. Gunn. He was super realistic about “correcting” my previous surgery. I look forward to the first steps and have complete faith that he will give me the desired look I was originally seeking. Highly recommend Dr. Gunn! Bedside manner was wonderful and didn’t make you feel uncomfortable! 🙌🏼🙌🏼"
"I had a breast augmentation done on 4-12-19 and im already in LOVE with them. All of the ladies in the office were so nice and made me feel comfortable and dr. Gunn did such an amazing job !!!!! Went from an A cup to a 36DD and they are perfect😍😍😍"
"Consult Review: Dr. Gunn is Great! .. Will Update Post Op! - Dr. Gunn is really nice and knowledgeable. I'm fairly thin (5'3 124 lbs) and we are going to do the bbl with fat transfer to the hips. He was fully transparent to the fact that I do not have a lot of fat to graft but he thinks he could give me the results I'm looking for. I had my consult maybe 3 weeks ago. I was excited, and then I got a little anxious so I blew up his phone and emails with questions. He and his nurses were really cool about it. He answered my questions and assured me that he would take as much fat as he could but more than likely, I wouldn't have a huge bubble butt. Which I'm ok with. I'm scheduled for surgery in 3 weeks. Will keep you updated!Updated on 4 Apr 2020:I’m 7 weeks post op. The surgery went well. The first week was torture. It was awful. After that everything was cool. My follow ups were cool. Dr. Gunn and his staff were really kind. I wasn’t expecting a huge transformation because I was a thin woman to began with. My first week out of surgery my results were just amazing. I still look at the pics in my phone just to reminisce. However, we the swelling went down, so did my excitement. Lol. I still look good, just not much different than I did before. My friends all say they can’t see where anything was done. Which for some can be a good thing! Right now I’m working on picking up more weight. Hopefully that will help everything look more pronounced. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just take the L but I’m definitely not considering a round 2. As far as experience is concerned, it was great. The pre op was simple. The surgery was fast. When I got there, it ran like a well oiled machine. My only complaint is my results and I guess I can’t blame anyone for a fast metabolism. It’s a gift and a curse. Well, now that I’ve added photos, I guess I can tell a little. If you squint and turn your head to the side. Haha."
"Phenomenal Surgeons!! - I used Dr. Gunn at Hedden Plastic Surgery and he was phenomenal. He is working on fixing a poor tummy tuck done by a different plastic surgeon. Dr. Gunn is very personable and the results so far have exceeded my expectations. I live in Florida and chose Hedden and Gunn because of the results I saw! Also, patient coordinator Caitlyn Butler has so much patience and is so caring, a real asset to their practice! I highly recommend Dr. Hedden and Dr. Gunn!! Price of treatment was extremely reasonable as well! Can’t go wrong!"
"Questions for other tummy tuckers - I have wanted a tummy tuck for as long as I can remember and I was finally able to do with the help of Dr. Stephen Gunn. I love him, Dr. Hedden, and their staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I had a revised breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and lipo.I had my surgery on 8/10/19. I spent the night in Birmingham the night before my surgery and the night of my surgery so we didn't have to get up as early the morning of the surgery. I had very little anxiety the night before. It was more excitement. We got to the surgery center and were called back in a reasonable amount of time. They began prepping me and I went back within about an hour of arriving (I was the first patient that day). I went in the OR and the next thing I know I'm waking up to go back to the hotel. I was in some pain and could not stand upright, naturally. I highly recommend the Exparel shot - worth the extra money. My husband had my meds filled and kept my meds coming on schedule, day and night, for the first few days to stay "on top of" the pain. My recovery has been pretty unremarkable, but I am 10 days out and I am having so much hypersensitivity. I seem to be having a pity party today. Luckily I have read that this is somewhat normal, which makes me feel better. :) My skin literally hurts! I called and they said that was normal and would go away with time. The drains are also on my last nerve (hopefully will come out Sept 4 - 2 weeks is enough!). They are hurting more than anything else. I can't find anything to wear that will cover them up, so I'm stuck at home and going stir crazy. I may be having a reaction to some of the tape, because it is itching me to death. Lastly, they should make these binders in petite. Because I'm so short, mine rides up so bad and doesn't cover everything it needs to. I struggle with it constantly.Now, I am finished with my pity party and the "bad" and will continue with the "good." I am very pleased with my results. Are my results perfect? No, but there was so much to go from where I was to perfect, I'm completely happy with what I have. My only concern is that there is a distinct line at my hips, almost like saddle bags. I'm hoping that it is just swelling, but again, if that is all I have to deal with, I am still pretty "pumped" about my flat tummy.Do any of you have similar experiences with hypersensitivity or pain in the drain? Please share. Thank you.Updated on 4 Sep 2019:Went back for my two week appointment today.... He only took out one of the two drains. I was so disappointed, but I held in the tears while I was there. These drains are so irritating and are hurting so bad. I am thankful to get rid of one. He thought if he pulled both of them, I would have too much swelling above my belly button and it could cause me problems. I know it is for the best in the end. I go back next week to take stitches out of my BB and, hopefully, to get this other drain out.After the disappointment at the office, I decided to do a little retail therapy since I literally haven't been in real clothes in two weeks. It was much needed, but now I'm suffering from the swelling. Luckily, I don't have much to do tomorrow, so I can lay around and try to get rid of the swell hell."
"Amazing! - I had weight loss surgery in 2012 and I lost over 200 pounds and surprisingly I lost all self confidence. My breast were nothing but hanging skin and I was not happy with how I looked without clothes on. I was ashamed of how I looked. I didn't feel like a woman anymore. I had debated on having breast augmentation for years. I was worried something bad would happen and I would come out botched. I was worried about the price and how I could pay for it. I convinced myself that it was something I was going to do so i started saving my money. Once I had what I thought would cover the cost I booked a consultation with Dr. Gunn on December 5th at 10:30 on a Wednesday morning. I told him exactly what I wanted and asked his opinion. He gave it to me straight and I decided on a size! We dicussed the average cost and I had it covered! I asked how quickly he could get me in. He had me on his schedule two days later on Friday December 7th at 6:00 AM! He came in the morning of surgery and we confirmed exactly what we were doing and made sure I was fully prepared! The procedure was immaculate! I had very minimal pain during recovery and no scar at all! I healed perfectly and Dr. Gunn and his staff were there every step of the way!! I can not say enough wonderful things about Hedden Plastic Surgery! I'd do it all over again and I'll never use anyone else!! Thanks Dr. Gunn!! You're the best!!"

"Consultation review: Wouldn’t show pictures of previous BBL’s - I went to see him April 2019. Wait time was short and he is a nice man. He answered my questions, but I didn’t feel completely comfortable with his answers because some didn’t coincide with research I’ve. done on Bbl, lipo/tummy tucks. While there I asked to see pictures of some of his work (Bbl’s), but he blew me off and asked me to email him and he would send some. We ended the consultation and his nurse gave me the cost. I emailed him as soon as I got in my car in his office parking lot...that was a Monday. I waited a couple days but he didn't reply, so I emailed him again on Wednesday...still no reply. I waited through the weekend and no reply, so I emailed a third time the following Monday..still no reply from Dr. Gunn. Needless to say he’s not the doctor that should do my BBL...disappointing to say the least.Updated on 29 Jun 2019:Since my initial post, Dr. Gunn reached out to me via email and left me his cell number. I called and he did not give me any empty excuses, but admitted that he dropped the ball, was very apologetic, and asked how he could “make it right” if I was still interested. During our conversation, I could sense his sincerity...he answered more questions, immediately sent pictures of previous BBL’s, so my surgery date is July 16. I am nervous, but excited. I’m not that anxious about the lipo, but I am about the BBL. I’m a very petite person and I want a great, natural looking butt to compliment my size. He assured me that I would be happy... I hope so! I would like to have my surgery sooner than 7/16, but he was booked, therefore I am the move-up list if there is a cancellation. Nevertheless, once I do have the surgery, I will post pictures and share my journey.Updated on 18 Mar 2020:My surgery was July 2019. Dr. Gunn has been great. I have referred several people to him (maleand female) since my surgery. I am 8 months post-op and loving my results. I’ve seen him several time since my surgery and he is always attentive and personable. I do suggest lymphatic massages...they really help."
"The Best Experience I Could Have Ever Asked For! - Dr. Gunn is amazing! He was kind and compassionate about my needs, made me feel incredibly comfortable at all times and my results are FANTASTIC. I had a breast lift and augmentation and I could not be happier with the entire experience. (I previously had implants from a very popular surgeon and Dr. Gunn was definitely the better choice)"

"Dr Gunn is Amazing! - I am currently 2 weeks post op and could not be happier with my results so far. Dr Gunn was super friendly, educated and patient with me when I asked 5,000 questions. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a breast augmentation because I had nothing but a positive experience with him and He even went out of his way to call me personally and check on me multiple times since I live over an hour and a half away from the office.Updated on 27 Sep 2019:Dr Gunn and his staff were amazing during the process and the office is beautiful. I have researched for a while before I finally decide to book a consult for breast implants and Dr Gunn did not disappoint. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all my questions to help calm my nerves. I highly recommend"
"I absolutely love this place. It is such a laid back envioronment and the nurses and doctors are so kind! Dr. Hedden is great! I received a breast augmentation from him and he did an amazing job and about 2 months ago I got a Brazilian butt lift done by Dr. Gunn and he was beyond great! He made my body look better than I could have ever imagined and I would recommend him to anyone thinking about getting this surgery done! I will continue going here for anything I ever want to do in the future!"
"From reception to nurses to Dr. Gunn and anesthesiologist, you cannot find a better place for your surgical needs. Its easy to see that the entire staff loves what they do for patients and loved ones. Unlike so many surgeons, no question goes unanswered. Their attention to detail is amazing and having had at least fifteen non- plastic surgeries and procedures, gave me comfort that I made the right choice. No matter your needs, there is no better choice than Dr. Gunn and the wonderful staff at HPS! Donna C."
"I definitely love this place. Dr. Gunn was my surgeon and he and his team were absolutely amazing. It’s only been about a week and a half and the results are already amazing!"
"Dr Gunn is absolutely the most personable doctor! He was honest and had great suggestions on what to do"
"Staff is professional and super nice! Dr. Gunn did a phenomenal job on my breast reduction!"
"Great Experience - Dr. Gunn went above and beyond to help me with the removal of a lipoma that had been an annoyance for years. His bedside manner, friendliness and professionalism were second to none. His staff was wonderful as well and very accommodating."
"Fantastic doctor - Dr. Gunn was great! I started with a small B and went with 550 cc in one and 500 cc in the other. My left breast hung a little lower and was a tad bit wider so he fixed that as well and now they mirrored each other perfectly. He took his time and was patient with me. The whole staff was great and caring."
"I had the best experience! Dr Hedden, Dr Gunn and the staff are Amazing!! They go above and beyond for their patients. I would highly recommend and look forward to my next visit."
"Breast Revision/Implant Exchange - Dr. Gunn was fantastic in every aspect from the pre operative consultation to post op/recovery. I was very pleased with his willingness to answer all of my questions & help to direct me with his professional opinion when I was struggling to decide on a new implant size/profile. I am 11 days post op & am exceptionally pleased with my results!! Dr. Gunn went above & beyond my expectations & I would recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their figure through cosmetic surgery! I will definitely choose Dr. Gunn again for any other cosmetic procedures I choose to have in the future!! "
"Good experience - Dr. Gunn was very nice and answered my long list of questions at our consultation. I went for a BBL, I was very nervous thinking about surgery and risks but he made me feel me comfortable after meeting with him. I decided to schedule the surgery and had it done on 4/20. I thought I would have really bad anxiety that day but I didn’t. When I got there I filled out a little paperwork then was called back. A nurse took before pictures and shortly after Dr. Gunn went over the surgery and made drawings on me. The nurse started my IV and I spoke with the anesthesiologist who was very nice, he put some medicine in my IV and walked me to the OR. I got on the table, took a few breaths from an oxygen mask and I was out! I’ve had a few questions for him throughout my recovery and he has been very easy to get ahold of and I will be seeing him again soon for my 2 week post op appointment! So far, I’m happy with my results. I have a flat tummy and although I wish my butt and hips were a bit bigger, I didn’t have as much fat I had hoped to graft there."
"BBL in Birmingham Alabama - I was unhappy with the shape of my bottom. Wanting some butt work done ages ago, I decided to go ahead and move forward with the bbl before I got any older, I am 43 and have had five children. After much research on cosmetic surgeons in my area, I decided to use Hedden Plastic Surgery Center’s Dr. Gunn. The nurses were wonderful and Dr. Gunn was very knowledgeable and nice. He listened carefully to what I wanted and as far as I can see right now, did just that. I am aware that there is swelling and that I will lose some volume over time, I hope not much. I will be posting pictures of my progressUpdated on 27 Feb 2018:One week post opUpdated on 7 Mar 2018:Butt still looks good, haven’t loss too much volume thus far. Took picture in same underwear for comparison. I think it still looks great! Bruises are starting to fade and finally the tape marks are coming off!!!!"
"Dr Gunn and Team were/are amazing. I have had little to no pain, I am 3 weeks post opt today. I was back at work 3 days later. I could not be any happier with my results. Dr G. took his time and explained everything, he answered any and all questions. He is easy to get in contact with if you have questions or concerns. He had even text me back after hours. After telling Dr. G what I was wanting and asking for his recommendation we agreed on 450 cc, they are PERFECT, exactly what I've always wanted. I will always recommend Hedden and Gunn. Thank you Dr Gunn and Team!
Side Note: I've had 7 consultations and Dr G is the surgeon I felt most comfortable with. I drove 3 1/2 hours :)"
"I am 5 days post op from a breast augmentation done by doctor gunn. So far I am loving my results. He was so friendly and kind as was the staff. I have recommended him and the staff here to everyone I talk to. Thank y'all for giving me a piece of myself back."
"Wonderful Experience.. Super nice Doctor - Great.. Super friendly!! Attention to detail.. I had sclero therapy (injections) done on my spider veins. Also did a consult on the laser for more of the tiniest ones. I spoke with him about my cellulite bc I had just come from vaction and saw myself in a swim suit from behind"
"I had weight loss surgery in 2012 and I lost over 200 pounds and surprisingly I lost all self confidence. My breast were nothing but hanging skin and I was not happy with how I looked without clothes on. I was ashamed of how I looked. I didn't feel like a woman anymore. I had debated on having breast augmentation for years. I was worried something bad would happen and I would come out botched. I was worried about the price and how I could pay for it. I convinced myself that it was something I was going to do so i started saving my money. Once I had what I thought would cover the cost I booked a consultation with Dr. Gunn on December 5th at 10:30 on a Wednesday morning. I told him exactly what I wanted and asked his opinion. He gave it to me straight and I decided on a size! We discussed the average cost and I had it covered! I asked how quickly he could get me in. He had me on his schedule two days later on Friday December 7th at 6:00 AM! He came in the morning of surgery and we confirmed exactly what we were doing and made sure I was fully prepared! The procedure was immaculate! I had very minimal pain during recovery and no scar at all! I healed perfectly and Dr. Gunn and his staff were there every step of the way!! I can not say enough wonderful things about Hedden Plastic Surgery! I'd do it all over again and I'll never use anyone else!! Thanks Dr. Gunn!! You're the best!!"
