"My results were great - Dr. Gunn was very caring and patient - About six years ago, I had my BBL with Dr Gunn Dr My results were great zGunn was very current caring and patient and answer all of my questions. At this point, I am considering a BBL revision along with the tummy tuck. I will definitely post an update."
"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 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!"
"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."
"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."
"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!!!!"
"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"
