"Just had breast augmentation yesterday and am already in love. Dr. Hedden was very patient with my questions and concerns and all of his staff are wonderful. The anesthesiologist was great and I was in and out with no memory of anything except sitting on the surgery table. Highly recommend."
"I looked and searched for a practice I felt comfortable with for a mommy makeover. I found the team for Dr. Hedden to be very kind and helpful, but also encouraging and not pushy. I had recently lost 30 lbs post babies and it had caused a lot of insecurities that I wanted to address. I am 3 weeks post op, and I'm feeling really good- my results are great! I was very impressed with Dr. Hedden's bedside manner. This experience, and the confidence it gave me back has really changed my mind about this procedure, and how much it can boost a woman's confidence. Thank you Dr. Hedden and team!!"
"Dr. Hedden and his team were 100% the right choice for me. I am ecstatic with my results from my breast lift with augmentation, and I highly recommend him! He is an artist, and I often can’t believe what I see when I look into the mirror now. He is caring and honest… I also asked about another procedure, and instead of just agreeing to it, he told me that he did not think it was necessary. The facility is clean and beautiful. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Hedden!"
"Great staff and exemplary experience. Dr Hedden is great to work with. His demeanor and willingness to explain everything made me feel calm and well cared for. I would (and do) recommend this practice to anyone interested in improving their appearance and health."
"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.."
"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 had a great experience with Dr. Halka and his whole team. He was very open to listening to my needs and expectations, and was able to provide me with the results I wanted, giving me my confidence back! Could not say enough about Hedden and Gunn Plastic Surgery!"

"Dr Hedden was my "Yes" when several other surgeons turned me down for a tummy tuck bc of a scar I was left with after an emergency open gallbladder removal. He thought outside the box and was so confident that a FDL Tummy tuck would not only give me the results I was looking for but would also lessen all the risks the other surgeons were so concerned about. I trusted him and went for it, also adding a lift revision with implants. He was able to remove to entire scar!! Everything has gone perfect and communication after surgery has been top notch. I am so impressed with his confidence and knowledge. Thank you Dr Hedden for being that "yes" for me."
"I’ve had the absolute best experience with Dr. Halka and all the staff at Hedden and Gunn. From my consultation, surgery, to aftercare, everyone has been incredible. I can’t recommend them enough. I will definitely be back for future procedures!"
"I scheduled a consultation with Hedden & Gunn and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr. Vandiver instilled confidence and made me feel comfortable, heard and seen. He was patient, supportive and professional and provided information and insight in a caring and knowledgeable way. Keri, the clinical coordinator, went out of her way to answer my questions and ensured I was well-informed and felt at ease -- so grateful for the kindness. This practice is exceptional. Highly recommend."
"I am 3 days post op. I had a breast lift with augmentation. I also had lipo 360 and a tummy tuck. I canot tell you how happy I am with the results. Dr Hedden is a miracle worker! This is my 3rd time to use Dr Hedden. He has a fabulous bedside manner. In fact, everyone at his office have been very kind and helpful. I trust all of them 100%. My only complaint is they deserve more stars. Thank to all of you. Merry Christmas Ellen Doughty"

"I have had three surgeries with Dr. Halka @ Hedden & Gunn. A lower body lift w/bbl in 03/2024 a breast lift w/ implants 07/2024 and an upper body lift 12/2024. I lost over 119 pounds with diet and exercise, I maintained the weight loss for two years and then started considering cosmetic surgery to remove the excess skin. My first consult was with a surgeon in Miami. I was nervous but paid a deposit then I thought perhaps I find a Doctor near where I live, which led me to Hedden and Gunn. I did a virtual consultation with Dr. Halka he was very thorough explaining every option in detail and even including photos of results from each surgery, He then recommended what he thought would be my best option. I then decided to meet with him in person and I could not be more glad that I did, with surgery there are many ups and downs but the care I have received by everyone at this facility has been beyond what I could have ever expected. I have said many times that I am so glad that I decided to have my surgery locally and not out of state (in my case) I am sure many surgeries go off without a hitch but to have the clinic and staff close by for any and every concern I have had has been the best option for me. I absolutely love my results, I could not have ever imagined better results even if I tried!"
"I had a breast reduction,and i must say,i can't stop smiling,loving the results.Dr Joshua T.Halka,and the whole Hedden Plastic Surgery team,nothing but excellence. Thank you'll so much. I will most definitely be back."

The day of my surgery everyone made sure I was comfortable and my surgery was performed without any complications. I am 10 weeks Post Op and I am very happy with my results!

"Dr Hedden is unparalleled in comparison ! He is the most talented and compassionate surgeon that I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with . His entire office staff goes above and beyond making you feel Seen and heard as well as completely understood in all aspects of your care. After having my children and knowing that I was through with the pregnancy years , I began dreaming of having a body that I could be proud of and where my children would be proud of me as well . I was extremely nervous about the prospect of surgery because I thought that after having 14 children my dreams of Feeling beautiful was unrealistic. However, Dr. Hedden and his beautiful staff completely changed my life. What I thought to be impossible and just a shot in the dark turned into one of the best decisions of my entire life ♥️Please , even if you too , do not think it’s possible to fulfill your dreams of becoming a better version of yourself, pack your things up and make the best and most amazing decision possible and go in for a consultation….meet Dr Hedden , meet his wonderful staff and see why they are changing peoples lives one heartbeat at a time…. I am a forever patient and dearest friend to them all . I promise you, you owe it to yourself ♥️Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to share with you one of the biggest and most precious times of my life ♥️"

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."

I am from out of town so i did my initial consultation with Heather virtually. She is amazing and answered all questions I had leading up to surgery. I met with Dr. Hedden the day before and he offered every bit of information i needed to make an informed decision on size and placement.

"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.

We are dropping pretty quickly. I was pretty deflated before my augmentation as you can see in my previous photos. So when you have previous deflating from breast feeding or weight loss, you tend to drop a little faster since the loose skin is more able to adapt to the implant versus tight skin. My incisions are pretty unnoticeable from a glance. Hats off to my surgeon for that. I’m healing great and I’m looking forward to seeing my final results. More updates next week!

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.

"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."
"Dr. Hedden and Dr. Halka have been amazing. The entire staff is great and work to make your experience hastle free. Understand that you may have an appointment but you could be waiting for a few hours past your scheduled time. They are the best and a lot of people know that. I can say with confidence that it is well worth the wait."
"I had a pain free recovery - Scheduled my consult with Dr. Fontana at Hedden & Gunn in Birmingham, Alabama because she took the time to call me and talk through my concerns. I had previously committed to a different surgeon but wasn't 100% confident that he was the surgeon for me. After talking with Dr. Fontana I moved my surgery to Hedden & Gunn. She performed a breast lift, breast implants, Labiaplasty, fat grafting to the labia majoras and a TCA peel under my eyes while I was under general anesthesia. I had a pain free recovery. Some swelling and tightness, which was expected, but no pain. I feel like Dr. Fontana's skills are so good that she did my surgeries so well that it has allowed me to heal fast and feel good the entire time. She is super sweet and patient also. I would follow her all over the country!Updated on 23 Mar 2024:Feeling amazing! I was cleared for light workouts at 3 weeks. My scars are not scary! This has been such a confidence booster. I haven’t purchased new bras yet but I’m having fun filling out my current wardrobe!! "

"Dr Hedden did a fantastic job. I am very happy with my results. Kevin the CRNA also did a fantastic job. I had no post op nausea ."
"I cannot say enough good things about my surgeon. Dr Pasha performed my neck lift and a few other treatments to maximize my results. All of the staff at Hedden & Gunn are friendly and considerate and I'm so thrilled I chose to have my surgery done with them! My surgeon's care and attention to details has yielded beautiful results and my complete trust. After a horrible experience with another leading Birmingham surgeon, I was hesitant to continue my plastic surgery journey, but he made sure my experience was incredible. Im already planning 3 more procedures with them. I've recommended Dr Pasha to all of my friends who are looking to have work done!"
"I could not have asked for a better experience at Hedden Plastic surgery. Every single staff member I interacted with was beyond polite and helpful. 100% satisfied with the procedure I got done, and Hedden was involved every step of the way! Would get surgery here again if I ever had the need."
"Breast augmentation, reduction & lift with Dr. Hedden - 100% satisfied - I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Dr. Hedden. He was involved with every step of the process leading up to my surgery, and was extremely helpful and concise with any questions I had. It was extremely obvious that he knew what he was doing, and I never felt anxious about my surgery.I had a pretty complicated issue that I needed remedied, in regards to fixing the SHAPE of my breasts (breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift) but Dr. Hedden never made me feel like it was anything to worry about. I am 100% satisfied with my results If I ever had a need for another plastic surgery, I would 100% go back to Hedden"
"I am so thankful to have found Dr. Hedden, I was so unhappy with my body and haven’t been able to feel like a women. I stayed inside for almost 4 years. Now I love my money I’m excited to try clothes. Thank you Dr. Hedden."
"My name ivy, I’m from Viet Nam, I highly recommend Dr. William Hedden for his exceptional plastic surgery skills. He listened to my concerns, provided helpful advice, and delivered outstanding results. Dr. Hedden is professional, personable, and truly an artist when it comes to plastic surgery. I am thrilled with my results and grateful for his care."
"Wonderful experience from start to finish - I got breast implants by Dr Hedden and the whole process was so easy and amazing. The staff were all so friendly and happy, Dr Hedden was very friendly, answered all of my questions and gave me his opinions when asked for them, the office was very clean and comfortable, and my surgery went perfectly. I'm so happy with my results already, I can't wait to see how they look after the heal!"
"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!"
"Dr. Hedden and staff were amazing! Dr Hedden did a full breast revision fixing my botched breast lift/implant procedure I had from another doctor. The whole experience was wonderful. All the nurses were super friendly and helpful and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. They brought me warm blankets while I was in the pre-op room! The anesthesiologists were super gentle and nice enough to numb my arm before the IV. Dr Hedden was very knowledgeable and did a great job at explaining what the best option was for my desired outcome. Surgery went great. We are from out of town so we stayed at a hotel nearby and went back the next morning for my post-op check up. There was a small issue with the placement of my implant combined with a fluid pocket. Dr Hedden tried to drain the fluid but it didn’t work. He was very kind and encouraging that I could wear compression for a few days and if it didn’t fix it to come back and he would fix it! I had the BLISS insurance so there was no additional cost at all. Even though the fluid pocket went down substantially, I still wanted him to fix it and make it absolutely perfect. He gave no pushback and got me right in for surgery the morning I came back. The second surgery was quick and I had the same great experience. Overall, the whole process was WONDERFUL. Highly recommend Dr. Hedden and his staff. Thank you!!!!!"
"I would give 10 stars if I could for Meredith (Mgr.) at Hedden Plastic Surgery. I had plastic surgery on my eyes , face & neck just 2 wks ago. I also have a lot of sun damage. Dr. Pasha did my surgery & he is phenomenal as well. He prescribed me Tretinoin Cream for my sun damaged face. I had questions so I reached out to a nurse. She text me back & said our manager MEREDITH is going to call you., she called me within 1 minute. She has used the product for a year now. She told me everything I needed to know plus more. She went over & beyond. We spoke for 20 minutes, 20 minutes!!! I couldn’t believe she spoke to me for that long. She answered all of my questions. I can’t remember the last time anyone in the medical community took it upon themselves to reach out & help me in the way Meredith did. I can’t say enough about her, Hedden Plastic Surgery & Dr. Pasha. I’m still healing from my surgery, but when I complete my healing I will have an outstanding review for Dr. Pasha as well. Kathy D. Leonard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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!!!"
"5 stars isn’t enough I would like to give Dr Hedden a 100 stars , he is So very professional, extremely educated , he’s an artist, he know exactly what he’s doing ,he did an amazing job on my surgeries , and he is super nice him and his wonderful staff will answer all the questions and make u feel comfortable, i couldn’t be any happier with the results, he’s HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
"Recommend Dr Hedden to anyone thinking about plastic surgery - After 2 years of research on plastic surgery and doctors locally I decided to book a consultation with dr Hedden. I can never thank him enough! He gave me my confidence back after birthing 6 children he listened to my concerns and addressed all of my issues I had with my body! I now have a flat stomach and boobs that don’t look like icing bags that had been all used up! I recommend dr Hedden to anyone thinking about plastic surgery! Him and his staff are phenomenal"
"Choose Dr. Hedden! B to DDD cup, type 1 diabetic, 600cc, silicone submuscular - Dr. Hedden did a wonderful job on my breast augmentation I could not be happier with the results. I’m constantly telling my SO how happy I am that I chose Dr. Hedden to perform my surgery! I had tuberous breast and he did an amazing job correcting them! I healed very well after surgery even with being a type 1 diabetic. They look and feel so natural now and it has only been 6 months. I have 600cc silicone submuscular and went from a B to a DDD!"

I have 600cc silicone submuscular and went from a B to a DDD!Updated on 21 Apr 2024:All in all I’m very happy with my results! I nit pick them sometimes because my shape is off a little bit on one of them and they hang a little more than I’d like but that would require a lift and it’s so small and honestly I feel like they look more natural anyway so I’ll wait a while before I consider a lift and increasing the size. I wish I’d have gone with 800cc because boob greed is a real thing lol but I’m glad I got the 600 because bras are hard to find in a 38E lol but compared to what I started with I’d say I have a 95% improvement and I love the way all my clothes fit now! My scars have healed nicely and are barely even visible and can’t even be seen at all when I’m standing up. I still have some numbness but I’m a type 1 diabetic so I assume mine just take longer to fully heal but I have enough sensation back that I’m not too worried about it. Dr. Hedden did an amazing job and I’m happy I listened to everything he suggested. When I started this journey I was so afraid because what if I spent all this money and it didn’t turn out good. Almost a year out and I’m 1000% so happy that I did it and that I chose Dr. Hedden to do them! I’ve met three other women who had their augmentations with Dr. Hedden as well which is exactly how many women I’ve met that have had an augmentation since my surgery lol! They all loved the job he did as well! That’s also fun… telling someone that Dr. Hedden did your augmentation and them saying omg he did mine too! One of the best decisions I ever made!"
"I am 7 wks post op with Hedden Plastic Surgery. I had saline implants for 27 years, my right one had ruptured. I chose to have them replaced with silicone. I had a breast augmentation with a lift. If you follow the post op instructions you will achieve amazing results with barely noticeable scarring! Thank you Dr. Hedden for giving me my confidence back."
"Dr. Hedden and his staff were amazing and took excellent care of me!!! I am very pleased with my tummy tuck and feel more confident! My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!"
"Amazing - absolutely no way we would go anywhere else - Our experience was incredible. Surgery was great, staff, facility, scheduling etc was incredible, but the thing that was the best of the whole experience was Dr Hedden’s respect and bedside manner! Absolutely no way we would go anywhere else!"
"If you are considering going to another plastic surgeon, I urge you to reconsider. Dr. Hedden works magic. I had a tummy tuck with another Birmingham doctor three years ago and was left deformed. I had ripples all over my stomach and loose skin. It killed my confidence. After vetting many other plastic surgeons in the Birmingham area, I decided to pull the trigger on Dr. Hedden in June. My case was challenging, but it never phased Dr. Hedden to do a revision. I also decided to have a lift and implants put in. Words cannot describe how happy I am. I feel like myself again for the first time in years. Don’t walk….RUN to Dr. Hedden. I can promise you….you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Hedden and all the amazing ladies that work there. Y’all are the best."
"I had surgery with Dr. Hedden in November of last year. I had great service at the time of surgery and at follow up appointments. The office staff was great with answering all questions and everyone was so professional. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely be back for any future needs"
"I had an amazing experience with both the staff and Dr. Hedden. They walked me through the steps at each appointment. I would highly recommend this doctor if you’re thinking about a procedure. Thank you so much!"

"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."
"Great experience with Hedden Plastic Surgery and Greystone Spa. Will continue to use services."
"Very pleased with my recovery and the results - 2 months post-op from tummy tuck and breast augmentation with lift , I am very pleased with my recovery and the results of my procedure. Dr. Hedden and his staff were all very polite and knowledgably. They have a beautiful, clean office and surgical suite. I strongly recommend Dr. William Hedden for any surgical wants or needs."
"Easy recovery and very satisfied with my results - Dr Hedden did a fantastic job in June of 2022 I had a plus size tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and upper abdomen as well as a breast augmentation. I had tuberous breast deformity and was scheduled to also have a lift at time of the original surgery. There is always a risk that they cannot complete the lift due to something I can’t recall. But I had 450 cc saline implants put in and my breast looked pretty awful due to my deformation. He released the bands and they settled in and turned out we could get away with not doing a lift but since they had stretched I could then do a swap to silicone and opted for 750 cc which look extremely natural. Having two surgeries to get them where I wanted was understandable and worth it. My recovery was easy just follow all instructions. I am very satisfied with my results."
"4 months post-op liposuction - beyond impressed with my outcome - Dr Hedden took me in his care at the worst time of my life I had a previous surgery that was not performed by Dr. Hedden INITIALLY I felt that I was not getting the care that I needed I can not thank him enough for taking care of me I highly recommend Dr. Hedden for the highly professional level of care I received I called 7 different Plastic Surgeon he was the only one that would accept me I am beyond impressed with my outcome you can value and respect his opinion Thank God for Dr Hedden and his wonderful staff"
"I thank Dr Hedden, for his tremendous skills in performing my operation. his talent and caring manner was truly a lifesaver Dr Hedden, inspirational words give me strength to fight from within. I highly recommend this amazing man. I thank God for him and his amazing staff."
"I have seen the tiktok and I am a patient here who has had a GREAT experience. I love Dr. Hedden and his staff! I had a breast augmentation last August, 2022. Dr. Hedden is very upfront and clear about expectations and potential concerns. He does not sugar coat anything and I appreciate that about him. I asked so many questions at my consult and he answered every one of them with as much detail as he could. I could not have asked for a better consult. The day of surgery went very smooth. Again, Dr hedden sat with me and answered my new questions, and went over pros and cons of going over/under the muscle because I had changed my mind the day of surgery. He was very patient with me and did not seem in the least bit annoyed. I am having a revision this month (not due to anything Dr. Hedden caused and thankfully covered by Bliss) I had to reschedule because I got very sick the day before surgery and I called the office multiple times (really feeling like I had to of been so annoying) and they were all WONDERFUL with rescheduling, calling bliss and figuring out insurance details for me, and giving me any additional information that I needed. I have spoken to many of the nurses/ staff there and I can not imagine how they could be called mean girls or bullies. I can not wait for my surgery on the 22nd of this month, I know I am In good hands there."
"I will most definitely be going back. Dr. Hedden and his staff were very helpful in assisting me in my breast augmentation. From the virtual consult, to the in-person consult, & to the day of surgery. They went above and beyond and answered any questions that I had."

"I had a bbl and lipo 360 with Dr. Hedden last year, and I’ve been very happy with my results. I did an online consultation. The following appointments were pretty quick, and overall, the price was reasonable for what I had done. They were very straight forward about pricing and everything involved with the surgery. They also have good post surgery support, which I appreciated. I really liked that they have an after hours line for any problems you may have, and I could get in touch with an on call nurse who actually answers if I had any issues. I recommend them. I’m happy with how my body turned out, and the overall process was very organized and went smoothly."
"I had a tummy tuck and breast implant replacement in July 2022. Dr. Hedden was very professional and did an outstanding job! I would recommend him for any cosmetic surgery needs. He and his staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable."
"I traveled 7 hours for a breast augmentation With Dr.Hedden because of his overwhelming amount of 5 star reviews and it was definitely worth it.

The anesthesiologist was very gentle I didn’t even feel my IV go in, I highly recommend! Dr.Hedden was very quick but he listened to my wishes for the look I was going for!

"I highly recommend Dr Hedden. When I was considering having a tummy tuck to tighten loose skin, I had a lot of questions and wanted to make sure I chose the right doctor. I called a friend who previously worked for Dr. Hedden. She went on and on about what a skilled physician he was and how talented he was. When I went in for my consultation, he sat down and we discussed everything about the surgery and what I could expect post surgery. I had a lot of questions and he took plenty of time to answer them all. I even asked him about another procedure that I was curious about and he told me I didn’t need it. He didn’t try to make another sale, he simply said, “you don’t need that.” After we talked, I knew immediately, he was the doctor for me. The day of my surgery, I was a little nervous. The nurse told Dr. Hedden and he came in and reassured me. He is so awesome! My surgery and recovery went smoothly and I have been extremely pleased with my results."

"Office review - Very pleased with my results - Highly recommend Dr. Hedden. He is very professional, knowledgeable and passionate about his work. His staff is also very supportive and caring with his patients. I had several consultations with multiple doctors (even had two consults, one year apart with Dr. Hedden) and ultimately decided on Dr. Hedden. He is very straight forward with a wonderful bedside manner. I had a lipoma on my abdomen that he immediately brought to my attention and encouraged me to have it biopsied. I had seen 4 different doctors (GP and dermatologists) regarding that lipoma and all brushed it off. I was very impressed with his level of care over something non cosmetic, which is why I chose to move forward with Dr. Hedden. Not to mention, he has the best prices!! Very pleased with my results and the process has been entirely smooth and easy."

I specifically chose him for this surgery because he was my surgeon in 2007, when he performed a full abdomenoplasty. I was very happy with the results. I was five years out of gastric bypass at the time & I had lost 110lbs. My weight then was 155. My weight now is 162. So, I have kept the weight off. Dr. Hedden's skills have made me more confident and proportional. He's a great listener and an extremely talented surgeon. I've had zero complications.

"38B to 40DD - 3 weeks post 600cc, HP, silicone, Mentor - I had four children, breast fed and lost a lot of weight in the process. My weight would always fluctuate so that left me with REALLY droopy and uneven breast. I was always embarrassed of my breast and would never wear a swim top or anything due to them making me so insecure. I researched breast implants near me and several came up but one just kept coming up in every search, Hedden Plastic Surgery. I researched the center and did a virtual consult with Dr. Hedden, where I sent pictures of my then breast and told him what I wanted. It took him a few days to respond because he answers the emails personally, but he was Very informative on what my body needed and how it would look. After talking with friends, I ended up having 5 friends whom had used him . He suggested a lift but I was terrified with the scars. I went ahead and made an appointment and paid my fees. I went in about a week later and met with him. He looked at my body and educated me on the process and everything I needed to know. We drove 3.5 hours away so we spent the night and went back the next morning for surgery. His team one by one came in and checked on me and made me comfortable the morning of. He come into the room and went over the procedure in detail again. I was given a handbook that told me all about the risk, the aftercare and the after process. Surgery happened and we went back to the hotel and post op the next morning. The next day we went over post op care and he looked at the incision and implants. Since then, his staff has called and emailed me checking on me and answering any questions that I have. I made a side view collage of my breast. I never knew that something so small could make such a difference in me. I am VERY pleased and I would recommend this to anyone and I would recommend his clinic to anyone. I cant wait to see the final results. Before I was about a 38 b now I am close to a 40DD . I got 600cc HP Silicone Mentor"

I spoke to several of Dr. Hedden’s staff before I even went to see them in person! Everyone was so friendly and informative. They took their time explaining everything to me and helping me make the best decision for my augmentation! Not to mention, the price was unbeatable! The day of surgery was great. Everyone was very friendly, I was inside at exactly the time they said I would be and going back for surgery not long afterwards! They even sent me this super cute “get well soon” card! The whole facility was clean and very well kept, I felt comfortable being there during the Covid-19 Pandemic and did not worry about cleanliness one bit! By far, outstanding! I will absolutely recommend Dr. Hedden and his staff to ANYONE looking for a great surgeon!"
"Loving my Results - I loved Dr Hedden and his staff. They were amazing from the consultation to after care and follow up appts. Dr Hedden listened to what I was wanting and made it a possibility! I love my results and feel semantically for the first time."
"I am extremely happy with my results so far - Mom of 3 kids and 100 plus pound weight loss left me with deflated 32A breasts and a saggy stomach covered in stretch marks. Height 5'2 Weight 112 lbs.Consult with Dr. Hedden was in January. My surgery was in September. I am extremely happy with my results so far. Dr. Heddens staff is extremely friendly and helpful and made me feel extremely comfortable. I did the Experal shot which I do think helped a lot with the pain."
"bbl review - I recently had surgery on 9/9/22. I had lipo 360 w/ BBL. After gaining some weight, I wasn't happy with my body anymore. Despite diet and exercise, I still couldn't get the shape I wanted due to mostly fat on my waist. Originally, I was only going to get lipo done but figured I might as well use the fat while I have it since it's going to lipoed off anyways. I'm currently 3 weeks post op but the pictures I'm posting are from 2 weeks. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my results and finally have the body I've always dreamed of.Updated on 2 Oct 2021:I don’t have many good before pics on my phone, so I tried to do the best I could. Lol. I forgot to add the 2 weeks after pics to my initial review so here they are. I’ll also post updated pics next week. Updated on 27 Nov 2021:I love my results so much. They just keep getting better and better. Highly recommend dr. Hedden.Updated on 27 Nov 2021:I’ll post another update next month. "

"Goodbye IttyBittyT Committee - 30 yo; 2 kids; 5'7" 175lbs, but i've been sedentary the last few months bc of covid. My usual weight when i'm active and working fluctuates between 155-165, so i'm trying to keep that in mind when picking implants size bc i will not be this weight for long!!! My surgery is scheduled for Sept 8 and I'm anxious!I still dont know what size i want. I initially thought i wanted 325-350 but after doing the rice test I found 425 to be very complimentary to my bottom, still small enough to play up and not too big so i can play them down. I've been home from work for months so when i go back i want more of a "hmm somethings different... did she gain weight?" Vs a "WOW she definitely got her boobs done""
"Dr. Hedden is very knowledgeable and honest - Great! Very knowledgeable and honest! He was upfront about anything that could go wrong although nothing did! And on the follow up he went through the continued progress and expectations as well as future options!"
"The surgery was effortless for me - I love my breasts and Dr Hedden!! I am 57 yr old and have had my implants in for 24 years. Saggy & Stretched from Weight gain.Dr Hedden was the kindest doctor and knew exactly what to do. The surgery was effortless for me with exception of a complication of my right breast hardening. Dr Hedden scheduled me immediately before my insurance expired and corrected it. I will always use Dr Hedden."
"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!.

"All I Could Wish For! - So I actually found Dr.Hedden while researching surgeons down south as a lot of girls tend to get surgery in FL. I came across him and for the price and reviews I saw I figured it was worth scheduling a consult. Shortly after my consult and some discussion I made up my mind to get 525cc Natrelle Saline Implants, Inframmary Incision, and no lift. My heart was really set on Transaxillary Incision but due to having tubular breasts and asymmetry Dr.Hedden gave me helpful advice and was honest about possible outcomes and complications so I ultimately went with Inframmary. He had great bedside manner and made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. On the day of surgery I was in and out within a few hours and very excited with my results right off the bat. This was just a few days ago so of course they’re very swollen but I couldn’t be any more happy!"
"There's No One Better! - It's been 9 months since my breast augmentation and they seriously just get better and better! Best decision I've ever made, I love them so much! The entire process was efficient and thorough. I felt I had all the information I needed to make an educated decision about sizing, type of implant, incision location, etc. My surgery was actually during the pandemic so I had to go in alone but the entire Hedden staff of surgeons and anesthesiologists made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Hedden is definitely where you want to go for breasts in the Southeast."

"Weight Loss Led To Bigger Breasts - I recently used Hedden Plastic Surgery for breast enhancement surgery. My doctor was Dr. Hedden, himself. I specifically chose him for this surgery because he was my surgeon in 2007, when he performed a full abdomenoplasty. I was very happy with the results. I was five years out of gastric bypass at the time and I had lost 110lbs. My weight then was 155. My weight now is 162. So, I have kept the weight off. However, my breasts were never very big - even when I weighed 240lbs. When I lost the weight, I also lost almost all of the volume that I DID have in my boobs. But I'm mom and so all kinds of other needs were prioritized first - it took 14 years, but I finally have the body/shape that I want. I'm not perfect & never expected to be. Dr. Hedden's skills have made me more confident and proportional, though. He's a great listener and an extremely talented surgeon. I've had zero complications. Dr. Hedden AND his wonderful staff have always EXCEEDED my expectations!"
"Dr. Hedden and his staff were great. Felt a bit rushed but that's to be expected when he had other patients he has throughout the day. He takes in consideration of what you want and tried his best to achieve that goal. I'm happy with my outcome so far. I'm in post op recovery right now since I had surgery July 2, 2021. I would recommend him 10/10.Updated on 12 Jul 2021:Not great with keeping up with this site. But I'm Feeling pretty good overall. Im still numb, sore, with some tight pressure when I wake up in the mornings. Ive opted out of taking the hydros because they make me sick. I take 4 ibuprofen (chosen by my surgeon) and sometimes take my muscle relaxers when need be. I Have no nausea whatsoever. Im more mobile now but still taking precautions like I should. I love my outcome so far. I'm more so excited for the girls to drop and fluff than anything and when I'm able to sleep on my side again. Lol If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I remember before having this done, I would ask people on here and never got a response. I do get on here every now and then to check just in case. Any advice helps but it will always come down to your own body and what suits your body best. :)The Implants I have are the Mentor MemoryGel smooth round ultra high profile chosen by surgeon. I chose the volume which is 650ccNote: I was super flat like a AA cup before. If before pics are wanted let me know cause I'm not going to bother with uploading for now.Updated on 30 Jul 2021:Still have a long road ahead. As the weeks pass I can see change and super happy about that. They’re still high with some firmness. But they have gotten so much softer since day one. I’m also able to sleep on my side again thank god. Lol I will say it’s taking some adjusting still cause obviously I can feel foreign objects in my chest. Other than that it’s smooth sailing. I will say My left boob is dropping more than the right which is normal in some cases. Oh and I bought a new surgical bra from (Amazon) that has the compression band made in with it to help push down the implants into place. Overall pretty happy with the girls. "

"Best Damn Experience Ever!!!! - If I could give him and his staff 100 stars I would. My experience from the start was great. From the virtual consult, I explained what I wanted he listened and made the best choice. I am 1 day post op and I fucking love them. The surgery was a breeze, the lady who helped me in recovery was amazing she told me her name but I was still out of it. Pain is bearable for me ( I had a horrible c-section) so this is nothing compared to that. Getting up is a challenge but overall I’m in love and I honestly hope he knows how much this has helped me mentally. I suffered from ppd after 3 kids and he has started to make me feel happy with my body again. I love Dr. hedden and his staff!!!!! By the way I got 470cc sientra silicone above the muscle!!Updated on 2 Jun 2021:5 days post op and still some tightness and pressure but overall it’s bearable. I love how natural they look and feel even while they are swollen. I am beyond happy with my breast now. I have started light stuff around the house and so far no pain or anything but I’m still cautious to not over do it.Updated on 22 Jun 2021:They are healing wonderfully. Nerves are coming back slowly so just some burning here and there. Still in love with them so much. I could recommend dr. Hedden a million times because he did a damn good job.Updated on 14 Aug 2021:I’m almost 3 months post op and they have completely dropped into position and are started to fluff. Still doing my massages as much as I can in between work. Feeling hasn’t come back yet completely and still a little pain when I wake up in the morning but besides that everything has been perfect."

"So surgery is set - I've been wanting to go to doctor Hedding for awhile, back in 2019 I did a consult and then didn't follow through. I got side tracked and thought maybe I should just go to Miami like everyone else, but after researching and calling around I just didn't feel comfortable!I did another consult with Dr. Hedden the around 5/20/21 and he sent me a message back on 5/27 apologizing for the delay and gave me my options.I have really droopy breast from pregnancy but he gave me an option to where I don't have to get a lift and still have amazing results. I went with his first option since it seems most natural looking, the price is great and I think I'll look amazing. I always wanted a BAM but I think sometimes it scared me because I wantbigger breast but not those ones that are bam in your face and you can tell a mile away that those boobs are fake...If that makes sense...Anywhoo booking was easy , and fast and I have my surgery date for July 21,2021"

My scheduled arrival time was for 730am but my caretaker was late and didn’t get me there till around 840am which was okay because Hedden’s office was running a little behind I filled out the last minute paperwork, and waited to be called back. After awhile I was called back and was seen shortly after by the anesthesiologist. He set me up with the IV that I would need for surgery and told me he would see me soon Awhile later Hedden came in to mark me up and confirm size the size we were going for and to go over last minute questions. Then I waited for almost two hours to be taken to the ORMy anesthesiologist came back took me to the OR room and gave me an injection next thing I know I was waking up to some Gatorade and getting my blood pressure checked. The whole process was easy and I felt so comfortable! Not one time did I feel nervous. The pain isn’t bad either I guess it’s because I didn’t get a lift. I am so happy and blessed and thankful for Dr. Hedden’s magic hands Updated on 22 Jul 2021:Here are some pictures the day of Surgery 7/21Updated on 22 Jul 2021:I am sooo happy with my new breast! Silicone 600cc over the muscle! Dr. Hedden and his hands don't get enough credit! He's a busy man for sure, but he doesn't mind answering all your questions and concerns and he surely gives you options. I am so happy that I didn't have to get a liftUpdated on 24 Jul 2021:Here are the pictures taken from my first post op!! Updated on 29 Jul 2021:I’m really happy with them. I feel like I should have gone bigger… it sucks that I don’t have the help I need to be able to relax and recover. As far as pain I don’t have any so I don’t take any medicine. Updated on 29 Jul 2021:I’m so tried of sleeping on my back. It’s hard to find the right sports bra that I need. Pretty much have been wearing the same bra… my anxiety is at an all time high because I don’t know if I’m wearing the proper bras.. I’m measuring as a DDStill no pain..But starting to feel the muscle spasm. I also don’t have any feeling on the underside of my breast for both boobs. Nipples have kinda lost feeling as well "
"My Experiences at Hedden Plastic Surgery Have Been Flawless! He is the Best! - Dr Hedden and his staff are the best in the business. He always takes time to listen to my goals and then explains to me how we can best accomplish my goals. I have always trusted his recommendations and without it my outcome would not have been satisfactory. Dr Hedden has done breast augmentation, liposuction, BBL, and a tummy tuck on me over the years. Those surgeries boosted my confidence and motivated me to continue improving my body by eating healthier and working out. After I lost about 20lbs I recently went back for a breast implant exchange. I look and feel so much better! Every experience has been flawless. I’ve sent 30+ friends who also love their results. If you are thinking about plastic surgery do it fit yourself and go see Dr Hedden!"
"Wow— I'm 4 days post-op, and they are already exceeding my expectations. - Dr. Hedden was absolutely amazing! I did a virtual consultation in March. He took the time to respond with many different options, pictures of expected outcomes, and pricing. He was very realistic when I told him I didn't want a lift. He told me that my nipple was slightly above the fold, and I could by pass the lift, but they wouldn't be as high and perky as they would be if I had the lift. I opted for 400 CC Silicone with bi planer placement. I'm 4 days post-op, and they are already exceeding my expectations. He and his staff made it worth the trip. Surgery was a breeze. Recovery hasn't been too bad."
"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 ever you may want to call them... but hopefully once the swelling goes down they will disappear. Over all Dr. Gunn Snatched me!!!! I highly recommend Hedden & Gunn. The staff was awesome as well. Anesthesiologist was a true Gem!! I really loved him.. I give Hedden & Gunn a 5 star rating. I see Dr. Gunn again in 2 weeks to get drains out. I’m happy,happy, happy!!! Can’t wait to get into a 2 piece..."

"Dr Hedden and his team were everything I could have hoped for - I researched US doctors and wasn't looking for the cheapest but the safest with best results. Dr Hedden and his team were everything I could have hoped for. I, like most, had a million questions before and after my surgery and never was I made to feel I was bothering anyone. I had a higher bmi and teetering at size 16/18 I didn't want to be "snatched" or have a vixen body, but I wanted a flat stomach and a more shapely figure and bottom. Dr Hedden gave me just that. My stomach is flatter than before I was in Jr High. My hips are still full and my bottom that was once almost concave now has some substance. I belong to several social media plus size surgery groups and I see alot of women who were only given partial post care instructions or were told to rush into a super tight faja. Dr Hedden gave me all tge information needed to have a successful healing process. My bellybutton looks great, which was important to me. My incision line is healing well. And I'm trusting the process and each day the swelling goes down and my results shine a little brighter. I live in CT and chose to travel to his office in Birmingham AL. I'm happy with my choice and results. I've befriended some of his past and present patients via social media and all of those women have had no post operation issues and are happy with their results."
"I couldn't have picked a better surgeon to do this surgery - I was small. Nearly a negative triple A cup is what I always joked about. Seriously though, I barely fit an A cup bra lol. I got one for myself, a little confidence booster.It took me months to decide who to go to. Endless internet research on doctors. I started researching around September 2020, asked tons of friends. Dr. Hedden seemed to be a HIT, like for real heard so many good things about him that I felt like I was meeting a doctor from 'Botched'. Reviews online were great- the only bad one I came across was a lady complaining about high pricing. It was between him and a doctor in my hometown Memphis, which was way closer to me- but he staff was blah and rude on the phone as I called for an appointment. Dr. Hedden was my pick because his employee Heather was so sweet and patient playing 20 questions with me as I nervously scheduled this surgery and she got me in for surgery in a little under a month.Day 1- February 23, 2021. I drove to Alabama and did my in person consult. Beautiful building, office and staff. Everyone was great. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity when Dr. Hedden walked in to speak to me haha! He answered every question I had thoroughly and even informed me on things I wanted to ask but it slipped my mind.Day 2- Surgury dayyy!!!! I wasn't ready, I was nervous for what to expect from recovery honestly. Dr. Hedden came in again to speak with me and answered more questions. He double checked with me on what size we decided the day before and informed me that if it didn't fit he would gradually reduce in size during surgery. He marked me up and the anesthesiologist came in to begin his part. He dripped some saline in me for about 30 mins and then came back to take me to the surgery suit. All I remember is laying on the bed for not even a minute and then waking up to my implants in place lol. I remember looking down and freaking out because they were SO small and had a flat appearance. I was like damn he had to back down a lot of CCs. I wasn't happy at all and was texting all of my friends. They assured me that they would drop into place and I needed to give it some time. Which I'm 90% sure Dr. Hedden and staff said this to me, but with how my nerves were it probably went in one ear and out the next. Pain was a 3/10. Not. Bad. At. All. I'm writing this review 10 days post surgery and I haven't even filled the pain meds he prescribed me. I'm big on working out and it honestly just felt like I worked out my chest hardcore for like 5 days straight without a rest day. In other words, a lot of torn/pulled muscles. I was up walking around (and eating a ton) the same day. I was in shock. Ibuprofen and ice packs on my chest were my best friends. :-)Day 3- Post surgery day; Dr Hedden walked in and said I was in the top 1% walking around the next day so I guess that's good! He said everything looked great and asked if I had any questions for him. Which I had a few... again, he thoroughly answered them all and informed me of things that once again slipped my mind to ask.My experience here was overall// Perfect.I couldn't have picked a better surgeon to do this surgery for me. My girls were questionable at first, but I'm so happy with how they're dropping in just a weeks time. Patience is my enemy, but I know I'll have to make it my friend these next 3 months as my boobs continue to drop and fluff. I'll continue to update with pictures as they transform!!"
"I absolutely LOVE Hedden Plastic Surgery! Dr Gunn & Dr Hedden are amazing; plus their staff (including the wonderful people at the spa) are fabulous!"
"Dr. Hedden and staff are amazing! - Dr. Hedden and staff was amazing! They listened to me and provided me everything I needed to make the best decision! I’ve always wanted “big boobs” and he gave me a perfect pair (: I’m in awe! The Recovery was so easy just listen to the dr. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work the following Monday. I am so thankful I did my research and went for my consult to Dr Hedden!"
"Mommy got new boobies! - Hi! I'm 31 years old, 5,5" and 190 pounds. I breastfed two children and had deflated 38Cs to start. I dreamed of having breast augmentation for years and years. I really was looking to fill in the tissue I had. My hope is a full DD or even a DDD. I started with slight sagging, and was told by 2 surgeons before that I needed a lift. I was not ready for the scars of a lift so Dr. Hedden and I decided that a larger implant and over the muscle would be best to achieve the look I wanted. I only met with him via email before my visit as I was traveling out of town. His email/virtual consultation was VERY thorough and he gave great detail into why he chose what he chose. My first visit to the office and in person consult was the day of my actual surgery.Updated on 3 Jan 2021:I ended up with 550CC Mentor implants placed over the muscle with incision in the crease. Covid makes everything a bit different with check in and your caregiver coming inside with you, but it was all very pleasant. The surgery check in, Nicole, was very informative and helpful. The nurse came to my car to get me and was very sweet and helpful the entire time. The entire staff was so nice! Dr. Hedden came in for what felt like less than a minute but answered everything and gave good detail in that short time. So far I'm feeling really good. Very tight, but not painful. I'm currently wrapped so I cannot see them until tomorrow at my post op.Updated on 3 Jan 2021:I am so glad that I listened to and trusted my doctor when he suggested over the muscle. I’ve definitely got a natural lift and the recovery has been a breeze! I’m able to get up and down with no help, range of motion is good and I can even wash my hair and put makeup on now. Pain is nonexistent, but still some tightness. "

I still have some cellulite in my butt but its improved a lot. I’m considering going back for more procedures."
"Hedden Plastic Surgery - Dr. Hedden and his staff really outdid themselves with my care. I am so very please with my results and would recommend them to anyone. They have boosted my self confidence. Their office environment is very homey, everyone was so welcoming and my procedure went great!"
"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 :)"
"Surgery in the Middle of a Pandemic - I had my procedure scheduled originally for March 2020, and then Covid hit, a surgery that I was so excited for was now postponed. When I say this staff went above and beyond during this time i MEAN it. They did everything they could and when they could open back up they also made sure to put extra time in to get in there patients who was waiting so impatiently lol. Dr. Hedden and the entire staff were great. I have used this surgery center a few times and I personally wouldn't use anyone else, was so impressed with his work and staff that I had family come from Iowa and Georgia to use him as well and I will continue to advocate on his behalf! :)"
"I had a Tuba Breast augmentation and i am in awe of the entire experience i had from Dr. Hedden and his staff. The pre surgery was calming and Kevin my nurse anesthetist was so funny and sweet and made sure i was comfortable the entire time because i hate needles. My recovery nurse Jessica was absolutely amazing. She had a great attitude and helped me in any way i needed. Last but not least, Dr. Hedden performed amazing on my surgery. I am so happy with my results and i will recommend Dr. Hedden to anybody and every body! Thank you all again and i will be back!"
"Exceptional - Finally got my breast augmentation done. After years of research I food the perfect surgeon and clinic. Dr. Hedden is extremely nice and sweet very Informative and has passion in what he do. His staff especially Nicole S was extremely helpful and sweet I can feel her smile through the phone. I called last min to change clinics because of all the good news coming from this clinic. They made it work for me too have surgery done in less than 4 days I was booked . Consultation was great this clinic is exceptionally beautiful and inviting. All my questions was answered and I left feeling confident in my choice to go with doctor Hedden.Surgery day was super easy I don’t even remember going to sleep thanks too this clinic they help make my dream come true.Keep up the good work Dr. Hedden and Staff"
"Dr Hedden and his team are exceptional! - Dr. Hedden’s mastery and skillset is top-level! He exceeded my expectations, achieving the best results possible for me. I came to Dr Hedden for a breast augmentation revision after having a breast augmentation 4 years prior by another surgeon. I was unhappy with the size and space between my breast. He exchanged my 420cc saline implants for 800cc silicone, and I'm extremely pleased!!!! Dr Hedden and his team are exceptional!Updated on 28 Oct 2020:Here is a before picture... I wasn’t pleased with the results of my first breast augmentation performed by a DIFFERENT surgeon in 2016. My right breast hung lower and would slide off the side of my rib cage when laying down...and I wanted a more augmented look.* Prior to my 1st surgery I had deflated breast as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding my 3 children, so I wasn’t expecting perfection. I did however wanted a revision to achieve bigger breast with better symmetry and cleavage. I’m so glad I chose dr hedden to do my revision! He explained what he could achieve with my anatomy and he truly gave me the best results possible. He is insanely talented and skilled!"

"So Happy with my Experience and End Result! - After having a failed saline implant, I contacted Dr. Hedden's office to discuss my options. Since I am older, I decided to get my implants removed and have a breast lift procedure. Dr. Hedden's staff were friendly and efficient and Dr. Hedden was very caring and took the time to discuss my options and answer any questions. My surgery went smoothly, and I recovered without complications. On my follow up visit, Dr. Hedden sat down with me and asked me if I had any questions and if I was pleased with my results.I highly recommend Dr. Hedden and his staff!"
"I would recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone - Dr. Hedden and his professional staff were patient with my concerns. They took the time to listen and guide me through my procedures and my recovery. Excellent experience! I would recommend them to anyone!"
"Doctor Hedden is a good plastic surgeon. He is extremely busy but he is extremely good at what he does. He did a tummy tuck on me as well as breast implants. I have no complaints with either. His staff are extremely friendly and sweet and answer any questions I have. I will definitely use him again in the future"
"Dr. Hedden and his staff were wonderful helping me navigate the process of a mommy makeover. All of my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable with our plan. I highly recommend Dr. Hedden and his team for any of your plastic surgery needs."
"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."
"Having been a patient for several services with Dr. Hedden and not having had the opportunity to write in why I am so thankful for all he and his entire staff have done for me, I wanted to take this time to do so.
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to Dr. Hedden and staff. My initial request was that I just wanted to look as young as my husband, or close enough, without looking fake or strange. He went over and above all things for me, for us, and for the first time in my adult life, I feel beautiful.He didn't do drastic changes but just enough to where now when we walk in a place together, we "match." People instantly see me for me. I'm no longer invisible. I'm quite visible and I find it difficult to stop smiling all the time.
The changes are nothing short of miraculous. The staff are gracious and giving and kind, and Dr. Hedden is truly a miracle worker.
I will always be forever grateful for all he has done for us and although we have not been back in a while (our schedules and being 3.5 hours away don't always permit it), I will keep them all in my heart and prayers. I am more than just a pleased patient, I am a grateful recipient to a kindness that can never be repaid, and I would recommend him to any and all people for any procedure!
Thanks to all of you. If anybody ever asks me about a procedure of any kind, I will always recommend him and his staff! Thank you all so much."
"I had the best experience with Dr.Hedden and his staff. I had a breast augmentation and I could not be happier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have plastic surgery done. He boosted my confidence."
"A few months back I was searching for doctors and didn’t know who would fit me best, until I found Dr. Hedden, he was the best decision I ever made! Going into the consultation the staff was very understanding and explained everything to me, they never left me wondering anything. The day of surgery for my breast augmentation, I was terrified. I had never been put to sleep and the thought of that made me extremely anxious. When it was time to be put to sleep, they explained ev… See more"

I couldn’t have picked a better doctor to have this surgery done! Thank you so so much! I would recommend him to anyone going for a breast augmentation!! My results are AMAZING!!!"
"Hands Down Best Plastic Surgeon out There. - Want to start out saying you should just truly trust this physician! He knows what he’s doing. I can easily say he’s incredibly talented and knows how to give each body the perfect enhancement to create beautiful results. I was very nervous about my augmentation as it approached, I wanted it to look natural, but not too small. He somehow knew EXACTLY what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with my results. It’s been two years since my BA and I still constantly get compliments. I think Hedden is more like a magic worker than a surgeon and I’m SO grateful I chose him for my procedure. I started out with 32A cup. I’m a thin, 5’7” woman, with an athletic build. I now have a 32D cup (32DD at Victoria Secret/they run small). He placed 420 cc of Round high profile Silicone implants under the muscle and my chest looks flawless!"
"Dr Hedden was an amazing surgeon to work with! I traveled 4 hours to see him, and it was worth the drive and extra hotel fees etc. I would definitely go back to him for other cosmetic procedures, especially since he has a spa in his surgery center!"
"10/10 highly recommend Dr Hedden for any cosmetic procedure. I have had the best experience with him and his staff. Very professional and efficient! I had minor discomfort and healed very quickly. I will be referring everyone I know to Dr Hedden!"
"34, 4 kids, 5’6, 525cc BA! I’m so happy - Everything and everyone was so polite and ready to assist in any way. Dr. Hedden was amazing and knew exactly what I needed. The procedure was short and simple. Post-op I had pain for about 2 days but it’s day 5 now and I don’t need pain meds. It’s a bit uncomfortable sleeping but you’re still able to rest. I’m so happy!"
"Dr. Hedden Plastic Surgery - Going into my procedure I was very anxious due to this being an elective surgery. I should've had a reduction years ago but I wanted to get through having babies first. I was roughly a 38 EE bra and was uncomfortable as so I spent most of my days in XXXL sorts bras with no support. Dr. Hedden and is staff were impeccable. They went above and beyond to answer any of my first time jitters questions and to ensure my comfort before and after the surgery, on top of maintaining a sold clean and safe environment during the COVID 19 pandemic. I was reduced to a 38D and thus far I'm very pleased with how they look! I can't wait to watch the healing process!"
"The quality of the work was unmatched and the staff was the friendliest of anyone around - Excellent! The quality of the work was unmatched and the staff was the friendliest of anyone around. I have referred him to multiple family members & friends & I will definitely be using him in the future!"
"Awesome Tummy Tuck - I had an abdominoplasty May 28 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was worth every penny and I would do it all over again. The patient coordinator (Heather) answered all of my questions and assured me I would be just fine and completely satisfied and boy was she right! Prior to my surgery I watched a lot of videos and read so many reviews. I was prepared for the worst pain however my experience was completely different. I had some discomfort but over all nothing intolerable. Dr. Hedden did an amazing job. At my post op Appt the day after surgery I was already in love with my results and it keeps getting better. My belly button looks great too!!! My husband keeps telling me how good my stomach looks! I highly recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery! I’m completely satisfied!"
"Dr. Hedden and his team are amazing!! They were very helpful and patient with all my questions. Every step was explained and my procedure went great and I am thrilled with my results. I definitely recommend Dr Hedden for all your cosmetic surgery needs!!"

"Had BBL and lipo 360 with additional lipo to arms and thighs. Staff is amazing and so is facility. Dr Hedden is awesome. Highly recommend."
"I am a 31 year old mother of 5 who had been wishing for younger looking breasts and a flatter, tighter stomach for a while. I was very self conscious about the way I looked in and out of clothes! There always seemed to be something too bulgy, too droopy, too ugly. The worst was how my poor self image affected my private life with my wonderful husband and how my children always heard their mom speaking poorly of herself.
After having my 5th child, my husband told me he loved me like I was but knew that I didn't like myself. We could spend the money for surgery if I so desired! Beautiful breasts and a flat stomach were headed my way! I had multiple consultations with plastic surgeons and then finally settled on Dr. Hedden for his professionalism, expertise, competitive costs, friendly staff and wonderful bedside manner.
Almost one year ago, Dr. Hedden performed a breast lift with implants and a tummy tuck for me. A few hours after surgery, my husband was already complimenting how flat my stomach was. Of course he couldn't see the "girls" yet, but he tried peeking all he could!
I couldn't be happier with the results! Last summer, I sported a Victoria's Secret two piece for my first time and felt so confident in how I looked! I can't wait to find the perfect two piece again this year! I can now wear sexy night gowns and feel confident, loving that my husband stares even when I'm "not aware." There are still bulges, but they are bulges I want - bulges I paid for and welcome - bulges in all the right places. :)
A few months after surgery I went back to Dr. Hedden to start going through tattoo removal for a long hated tattoo I got while too young. I've had two treatments and it's turning out wonderfully!
If you've been thinking about surgery, I highly recommend doing it for yourself! Doing things for yourself can provide a lifetime of happiness in areas of your life you could have never dreamed of! Plastic surgery itself does not provide happiness. It's the confidence you feel afterwards that can change your world!
Go on multiple consultations. I can almost guarantee you'll choose Dr. Hedden in the end!"
"Mommy Makeover post three kids @34 and extreme weight loss - I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and implants with Dr. Hedden. I appreciated his readiness to both listen to me and also explain what I needed to get the results I wanted. Incredibly pleased with the outcome!"
"Great doctor, very knowledgeable and caring. - He is amazing!! Very knowledgeable and and caring. Before the surgery he made sure I was aware of everything that would happen even as small as the medications I would take and why I would take them. He makes sure you have a booklet on side effects, after care and possible complications. The staff there is also equally amazing. I have never been in a Dr's office where EVERYBODY is nice! Best place EVER!"
"DR. Hedden did my Breast AUG and it was great! I was super nervous and the staff was very nice and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I absolutely love my results and would definitely recommend DR. Hedden for your breasts!! I am very happy with the way they look, they had a great price and everything was don e in a very timely manner. All and all I had a Great experience. -Heather M"

"Boobie Tune-Up - I'm a returning client of Dr. Hedden's. So clearly, my husband and I trust him and his staff. I originally had a breast lift with implants in 2009. After overcoming many health issues, my poor boobs need a tune-up."
"Under the muscle 400cc high profile mentor silicone implants - Dr. Hedden was amazing I could not have asked for a better doctor! His staff was super friendly and accommodating. I was an an A/ small B before my procedure under the muscle 400cc high profile mentor silicone implants. Can't wait for them to drop and fluff! Stats : 24 yo 5'2 125 pounds 1 child"

Stats : 24 yo 5'2 125 pounds 1 childUpdated on 16 Jun 2020:I am able to do most things on my own. My arms almost have full range of motion. I feel no pain through out the day I no longer take any pain pills or muscle relaxers. I use coco butter daily and it seems to be working. Still very little cleavage and they are still hard to the touch. D cup bras seem to fit the best. Updated on 6 Jul 2020:I’m loving my new boobs! They have startled to settle and I’m pretty sure the swelling is gone. Starting to look more and more natural daily. I’ve only had one person notice my new additions! I’ve been doing the massages twice a day and they help a ton! I hope they fill in more in the middle but I know some of that has to do with what you had before. I was measured at aerie and I wear a 32DD however it seems like that size is super hard to find so when I can’t find it I buy a 34D which is a little too big for my ribcage but it will do. I was experiencing boob greed recently wish I had gone with 450 cc but I think it would have been even harder to find a bra. Deff a happy customer. "
"Dr. Hedden did my augmentation almost 2 years ago and I couldn’t be happier! He did an amazing job! I’ve never been asked if they’re “real” or “if I’ve had any work done” because they look and feel so natural! I refer anyone who ask to him and I can’t wait to come back for my BBB! Hedden Plastic Surgery is the best from the office staff to the nurses to doctors!!!"
"Totally worth everything - the second surgery was just like the first time - Totally worth everything. I had gastric bypass June 2015, lost almost 150 pounds. In December of 2015 I decided to get implants. I was given Dr. Hedden name from several people who used him for their breast augmentation. I can and for a consultation with him. I decided decided on 750cc under the muscle. I had a l lift and implants. I was back at work by the time the Christmas break at school was over.I had no problems, pain was minimal. I wound up having capsular contracture and had surgery again to repair it. So I decided to go up in CC's. I went from 750 to 900. The second surgery was just like the first time. I knew what to expect this time. He has the most perfect bedside manner. He listens to what you say and explains everything that he will be doing. I will not let anyone else do any type of cosmetic surgery on me."
"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."
"6 years ago I went for a consult with William Hedden he is wonderful, caring doctor; and his staff made me very comfortable as well amazing team. He explained everything that I needed to be answered I did not follow through my daughter's soon passed after. How long will it take so I did not desire to do plastic surgery anymore recently last year I did an online consult and he still was the same genuine caring doctor hopefully in the future I will be able to afford to get the procedures that I would like to have what what now if anybody's looking for a great doctor he would be it. I wish I could give more stars because there's a very big decision to make and the team ;Who was amazing , they helped me feel so comfortable and I trusted they were genuine."
"Dr Hedden recently replaced my breast implants. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Dr Hedden!"
"I can not recommend Dr. Hedden enough! I had previously consulted another plastic surgeon in Huntsville who would not give me what I wanted and the cost was astronomical! Dr. Hedden took my wants into consideration and was with me every step of the way. His staff was friendly and very helpful. I am now the proud owner of two amazing, perfect breasts and will be back for my tummy tuck!"
"The staff here is so sweet and helpful! I had to call a couple times for questions after my surgery and they were always so patient and helpful! Dr. Hedden was awesome!

"Wonderful Doctor and Team - I highly recommend Dr. Hedden and his team for any elective surgery. From the consultation to my 6 month post-operation follow up appointment, I had a wonderful experience and I love my results. I was hesitant to get a breast augmentation in the first place, but both Dr Hedden and his team made me feel relaxed and confident in the procedure. Financing was explained thoroughly and I was able to mail increments of my balance until it was paid in full two weeks prior to the surgery date, which made it so much easier to afford!"
"Exactly what I wanted—Dr. Hedden and his staff is absolutely amazing. - Dr. Hedden and his staff is absolutely amazing. He is a very talented surgeon and has the best bedside manner. He was professional and caring. I was so nervous as I had never been under anesthesia prior to my breast augmentation. My nerves were a complete wreck the day of surgery and he discussed my fears and eased my concerns. I was at complete ease by the time I made it to the operating room. From the very first consult to the most recent post op visit, he has continued to be caring and attentive. My results are just what I wanted. If you are considering a breast augmentation, I highly recommend Dr. Hedden."
"100% Worth It, Best Experience! - Cannot recommend Dr. Hedden enough! If you’ve ever contemplated getting breast augmentation done he is the best. Absolutely love my results, couldn’t be more happy with them! He listened to everything I wanted/didn’t want. His bedside manner is amazing. He makes you feel very comfortable and all that staff are really friendly and professional! Everything from the consultation to the aftercare is 10/10 in my book!!"
"Go NOW! - I'm recommending Dr. Hedden to everyone I come in contact with, that's how amazing he is!! I went in for a tummy tuck, and breast augmentation with a lift! He has my body too snatched, and I couldnt be happier! I love looking at myself in the mirror now. His incision lines are immaculate, and he is easy to talk to. Don't hesitate, go for it! You're welcome. ?T.P"
"I went to DR Hedden hey was highly recommended and I did a long research on the procedure I want to get done. I opted for a breast augmentation. I had them done 10 yrs ago and they still look as amazing as they day I came home with them. He is a very talented cosmetic surgeon and you won’t be disappointed. He is also very caring in making sure your okay they called and checked on me and I returned the next day to make sure everything was healing well no issues. I went home to Florida kept in contact over Snapchat with any concerns because you can take pics and all. I had no issues no problems at all went back to work a week later. Tiny bit sore but nothing ibuprofen didn’t take care of. I highly recommend Dr Hedden to anyone who asks."
"Dr Hedden is the epitome of professionalism and patience! No question goes unanswered! I was very nervous when I went in for my first consultation, but that soon went away! Up until the day of my surgery staff was in contact with me with any concerns. And my breast look amazing! I am more than satisfied with my service! Seriously Recommend"

"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!"
"So Glad I Used Dr. Hedden - I had a breast augmentation and lift back in Nov. 2019 by Dr. Hedden. I am so very happy with the results!! I have so much more confidence and love everything about them. He is so sweet and professional as well as his staff. I highly recommend using Dr. Hedden. I will go to to him for any future procedures."
"I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Hedden. I am absolutely pleased with my results. I went to several different doctors and wasn't comfortable with them performing the surgery. I really wanted a "D" cup but a lot of doctors told me that it wouldn't look right. My current breast size was a small "B" cup. After talking to Dr. Hedden he said that would actually work for me.
When I got my implants they inserted 400cc. I live in Atlanta and drove to Birmingham to have my consulatation and surgery. The entire staff was very professional and I would recommend him 100%. If I need anything else trust me I will be back … Thanks Dr. Hedden!"
"Amazing Experience - Dr. Hedden recently replaced my breast implants. I couldn’t be happier. I have two friends that have also used him. He takes the time to listen and answer your questions/concerns. His bedside manner quickly puts you at ease. I would recommend him to anyone, I drove from Huntsville, AL. And would gladly do it again!! Thank you Dr. Hedden!"
"Wonderful team of professionals. I had a Pearl Fractional and was really nervous. I was comforted and treated with complete understanding. They walked me through the procedure, the good - results, the bad - some discomfort, and the ugly - the pealing process. The office is beautiful and calming. I would definitely recommend Hedden Plastic surgery."
"Amazing Breast Implants with Dr. Hedden - Wonderful doctor, amazing staff, and received amazing results. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor or better results then I received. My mother, who isn’t very much for plastic surgery, even loved the results I ended up with! Definitely recommend Dr. Hedden"
"I highly recommend, my experience with Dr. Hedden was phenomenal. - My experience with Dr. Hedden was phenomenal. I was extremely nervous prior to my surgery, but he eased my anxiety and made me feel totally comfortable. The staff was also super helpful. I am very happy with my results!"
"Best Experience Ever - Dr.Hedden is by far the best doctor I have ever seen. He has boosted my confidence level tremendously and I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him for all your cosmetic needs. I was very nervous about my surgery but he eased my mind."
"I had breast augmentation and Smartlipo to my inner and outer thighs. I am 34 years old and wanted lipo for many years. I went for my consultation in August. I knew immediately that I wanted both procedures and Dr. Hedden to be the one to do them.
I was the first surgery of the day. I was very nervous but excited. Dr. Hedden came in the room and we discussed a lot of things. Dr. Hedden was wonderful! I trusted his knowledge and experience, and went with 450cc. He was right! I would have been very disappointed with 350cc to 375cc.
It has only been a little over four months since my surgery, but I can tell you it has changed my life! I look so much better in my clothes. I have a lot more confidence. I am so glad that I did it! This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and worth it."
"I am extremely pleased with the results of my Juvéderm. Thanks to Dr. Hedden. My experience at your medical facility was so very pleasant, as all your staff was so helpful and nice. The time you spent answering all my questions certainly put me at ease. Thank you so much Dr. Hedden, I will look forward to my next visit."
"I have had excessive sweating since as long as I remember. Probably since puberty. My wardrobe consists mainly of white or dark colored T-shirt's. I could never wear the pretty blouses I wanted to. Hyperhidrosis affects your self esteem. In high school, I often had to wear a flannel or cardigan over my T-shirt's because of the sweat stains. It was awful. I couldn't even wear tanks on a hot day. I've been researching Miradry for about 4 years now. I've wanted to get it done but finances prevented that until now. My procedure is scheduled for September 20, 2019 at Dr. Hedden's clinic in Birmingham, AL."

My procedure is scheduled for September 20, 2019 at Dr. Hedden's clinic in Birmingham, AL.Updated on 15 Sep 2019:I was told not to shave my armpits 3 days prior to the procedure. I’m getting excited and nervous! 5 more days!Updated on 20 Sep 2019:I’ve been waiting on this day!! I wasn’t too nervous thankfully. I have a fear of needles and doing this is a huge thing for me. First the nurses cleaned my armpits and applied the template (temporary tattoo). Next, the nurse manager came in and injected the lidocaine. There was only 5 sticks per arm and they weren’t too bad. Thanks to me getting the procedure done at a plastic surgeon’s office they had access to a nifty little machine from the OR (can’t remember what she said it was called) that allowed 5 injections per arm instead of 20-60 with a needle. Really a lifesaver!! After the injections, she gave me some little ice packs to put under my arms. We then proceeded with the Miradry. I literally felt nothing but warmth, not burning hot or anything though. Totally tolerable. It feels weird with your pits being numb. Lol!! I popped some ibuprofen when I left. And the did send me home with prescriptions for Medrol and Norco. She said I probably won’t need the Norco but they send it just in case because it cannot be called in if I end up needing it. Hopefully I won’t!! I’ll update as my recovery progresses.Updated on 22 Sep 2019:Also an increase in pain but nothing unbearableUpdated on 22 Sep 2019:Still swollen pretty bad but there is no pain! Swelling extended down to my bra line and my arm (where the white area welts are).Updated on 23 Sep 2019:I have no pain today. Swelling is still present but not as bad. Though, I’m having a tiny amount of sweat right now. I’m not wearing any deodorant as instructed. I had a job interview this morning with NOT even an ounce of sweat. This would normally cause me to have to change my shirt afterwards lol. But I did take my diet pill after lunch though so maybe that’s it? Idk. A little disheartening. I’m ok with doing a second procedure but I was hoping to not have to. Updated on 24 Sep 2019:I don’t know if I’m actually sweating or just feel like I am. It feels kinda clammy or damp. I put a paper towel under my arm and it wasn’t wet. But it’s for sure clammy. Updated on 25 Sep 2019:I still have some swelling but it has went down considerably. No pain. Just a razor burn like feeling. I still think I’m sweating in high anxiety times. That really sucks, especially this soon after the procedure. Updated on 30 Sep 2019:Definitely have some sweat. Went thru to my shirt today. Not happy Updated on 18 Oct 2019:I am finally starting to see a good decrease in armpit hair. It’s only in patches now. I guess it took some time for that benefit to kick in. Now if the sweat would follow suit ??????Need to find out how long to wait for a round two. "
"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!!"
"This Doctor Actually Cares About YOUR Wants and Needs. - Dr. Hedden was fantastic. From the moment he stepped into the exam room the first time until my very last follow up visit, he was only concerned about ME. He made sure to find out what I wanted and set to accomplish that goal. That meant the world to me because I had previously consulted a plastic surgeon in Huntsville and the doctor flat out told me that I couldn't have the size implants that I wanted. I went home feeling deflated. Literally. I started researching other surgeons near me and found Dr. Hedden. After reading so many positive reviews, I scheduled a consult with him. The entire process was fantastic and I have already referred two friends of mine to him. I HIGHLY recommend him and his staff!!!"
"Had to have my breast implants replaced after left one ruptured and the right had a bad capsular contracture. Dr Hedden and his staff have been wonderful to me throughout this surgery from pre op to post op. Thank You"
"Mommy Makeover July 10th 2019 - Only a month out .I am completely satisfied and excited with my results so far. Dr.Hedden was very professional, answered all my questions and never felt rushed. Staff was supportive and made sure we had all the information for pre and post op."
"I am 37 years old and the mom of 3 teen children, all of whom I breast fed. I was always small going through school and could never wear the type of clothes I wanted to wear. After breast feeding three babies I dried up to be even smaller. So at 37 I decided to do something special for myself.
I was going to get a breast augmentation. I made the appointment with Dr. Hedden. His staff is very professional and make you feel at ease. They treated me as if they had known me for years. On my first appointment I was told to bring different size bras that I might like to be, so I did C's and D's. They put my husband and I in a room and gave us several different size implants to try on play with. I decided on 425 CC round under the muscle.
Dr. Hedden came in, examined and measured my chest wall and breast, and said that would work and would make me around full C and small D. He explained the surgery and recovery and answered all my questions. I wanted this so bad but was very scared until I left this appointment. Leaving I felt very sure, safe and excited.
I arrived on the morning of the surgery, my husband got to come back and stay with me until time to go to the O.R. We kissed goodbye and off I was to surgery. The anesthesiologist explained to me what she would be doing and we began.
After the surgery I don't really remember a lot until we were almost home. When we got home my husband helped me into the recliner and told me things went great. I just wanted to sleep. Around 4 hours later I awoke asking for a pain pill, feeling sore and aching. The next morn he got me up and helped me take a shower. My first view of the new girls! There was still tape across my incisions and some bruising. They were still high but wow I was a D cup for sure.
The shower felt great and back on with the sports bra. The recliner was my home for the day because I was sore and stiff but not too much pain. No more pain pills all day. In the days to follow I got my strength back in my arms and it wasn't too long that the girls started to drop.
It has been 13 months now since my surgery and I have no regrets. It has been everything I imagined and I can now wear all the cute clothes that I have always wanted to wear.
So expect 3 days to really feel good and a couple of weeks before you can sleep on your side. But I would recommend it to anyone longing for it like I was. The staff and Dr. Hedden will make you feel so comfortable while you are there."
"Best Doctor - I absolutely loved Dr. Hedden. He gave me exactly what I wanted and has the sweetest staff. I felt so at home when I had my surgery! I would go back to him a hundred times. I have already had friends book consultations with him because of his great results!!!"

"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 Hedden at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. I traveled 14 hours just to get to them. Good luck
UPDATE — 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 .
UPDATE — 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 .
UPDATE — 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 !!"
"The Best Thing I Ever Did for Myself!! - As a mom of three kids my breast were just not the same, the best thing I ever did was get a breast augmentation. The only regret is I wish I had went bigger!!! Dr. Hedden did my mother’s breAst years ago, so I knew I wanted him to do mine as well!!"
"Dr. Hedden and his team were amazing. very thorough."
"His bedside manner is top notch and his surgical skills are excellent! - Awesome! Dr Hedden is very highly recommended and after visiting him I can see why. He is knowledgeable and professional. I can not recommend him enough. His bedside manner is top notch and his surgical skills are excellent !"
"Dr. Hedden and staff were the absolute best. I had a revision of a previous breast augmentation by a different doctor. Dr. Hedden and staff actually listened to and understood what I wanted. The desired look was achieved and I could not be more happy with how I was treated before, during and after surgery. Being from out of town, the ability to do scheduling and paperwork online and then an over the phone consultation was such a great help and an amazing service offered by the office. I brag on Dr. Hedden and the staff regularly and if I ever want any more work done there will be no hesitation as to who I’ll call! "
"5'8" 550 CC's under the muscle saline biplaner - I have been wanting breast implants for around 15 years. And now my opportunity to get them has arrived! I have researched surgeons for months and found one I'm very happy with, that even before I scheduled my surgery returned my emails, even on the weekends. (I didn't expect a response until Monday, but how amazing) Since I live out of state from my surgeon I have spoken with numerous helpful associates and I have an in person consultation on the 25th. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th and I am so absolutely excited/scared. I still have some things to do on my to do list before my husband and I leave and I'm trying to get the rest of my list done today. As I work tomorrow and my husband and I leave after work. I was opting to get a tummy tuck first but decided to go with implants. I'm wanting saline implants under the muscle. I wanted to do a lift but I'm going to try implants first because a lift is more complicated and I have kids and a job to recover quickly for. My problem is I don't know how many CC's to get!? I'm 5'9" and I want to be around a dcup but I want them to look natural, not like melons. Lol I'm a small b now. Any advice???"
"Dr Hedden is amazing! Would recommend any and every procedure!"

I had searched and searched for months trying to find just the right surgeon. I looked on here, read Google reviews, everything I could. I am so thrilled I decided on him. His staff and the nurses were all so kind and ready to help and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. He gave me all the time I needed at the consultation to decide on a size and he has given me exactly what I wanted, even when I didn't understand all the details of how everything worked. He is extremely knowledgeable, knows what he is talking about, and is great at explaining everything. I'm so happy with the whole process. I had alot of questions after the surgery and always had prompt responses to help me and give me advice on everything. I love them and I love my results and will definitely be returning! I really can't say enough about Dr. Hedden and everyone there!!!Updated on 12 Jul 2019:I'm going to try to write this fast because it's gotten deleted two times already and I am tired of trying to get this to post. I have had five children I am 35 years old I got 550 cc's I'm extremely happy with them. The first week of recovery was hell. I thought after having five kids I would be able to bounce back pretty quickly but that was not the case I have been very sore very swollen. I started my massages early about a week after my surgery I started massaging and I do massage more than what's even recommended because I really want a good outcome from this. With all the sagging I have I was offered who left as well but I decided against that and I just went with implants and I got a biplanar position sothe implants should move down and look natural I'm still waiting for them to completely drop and fluff. I love them so far I'm extremely happy with the outcome I feel better about myself I'm going to be able to wear the bathing suits I want the shirts I want I have more confidence I'm very happy that I did this for myself. Sorry my pictures have been out of order but I'm very frustrated right now because some will load and some will not and yeah"

"Awesome. 10/10 - Awesome! Dr Hedden is very highly recommended and after visiting him I can see why. He is knowledgeable and professional. I can not recommend him enough. His bedside manner is top notch and his surgical skills are excellent !"
"The Best.... - Dr. Hedden is amazing, compotent, and skilled at what he does....this was my very first surgery I have ever had, and his staff made sure that everything was taken care of....by the way I get compliments from everyone"
"The Best of the Best!!!! - I had the best experience with Dr. Hedden. I am be ry please with my results. I have recommended multiple friends to him and they are just as please with their results as I am! Simple and painless surgery that turned out great. Highly recommend!!!!"
"Everyone there was very respectful to me about everything and not once did I ever feel uncomfortable. I have already recommended him to several people and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Dr. Hedden for making me finally feel like a woman!!!"
"Dr. Hedden did both of my breast augmentation surgeries, he is awesome and listens to what you want, will go back to him for anymore surgeries I have."
"I have been wanting to get my breasts done for about 4 years. Before my surgery I was a 34A. I am 5'4 and I weigh about 130lbs. I decided to go with 425cc's and so far so good.
I googled "plastic surgeons in AL", that's where I found about 4 surgeons that I was interested in. When you start looking at the before and after pictures you really get a feel as to how talented the surgeon is, and when I saw Dr. Hedden's work I knew he was my surgeon. Always go with board certified. We all desire a surgeon who is performing in the best interest of us, the patient.
I decided to call and make a consultation with Dr. Hedden. The staff there is so nice and make you feel right at home. If they can't answer one of your questions they go out of their way to find the answer for you.
When I got to Hedden Plastic Surgery, I got called right back to a room where a nurse was waiting. She asked me about my incision choice and if I knew what size yet, I told her around a full C and she gave me some options on what would get me there. I decided on 390cc's. Dr. Hedden came in and talked to me, he was very calming and softspoken and extremely professional. He asked which size I decided on and I told him 390cc's and he told me he thought that was a good choice but I could go bigger if I wanted.
Finally the day of my surgery came and boy was I nervous. They asked me if I wanted to change my size and I told them yes I wanted to go to 425cc's. Dr. Hedden came in and was the one who really calmed me down, he assured me everything would be fine.
When I woke up there was a nurse with me, she was so sweet. She asked me how I was doing and if I needed anything and I told her I was fine. She helped me get dressed and wheeled me out to the car. I was in pain but finally it eased up on the 2nd day and I went to my follow-up appointment. Dr. Hedden was wonderful. He said everything looked good and to see me back in 4 weeks.
I am going on a week since my surgery. I have beautiful breasts now and can't stop looking at them. They are riding a little high but that is to be expected. They should be dropping to their natural place soon and I can't wait to buy all new bras and new swim suits!
Dr. Hedden is a wonderful plastic surgeon. He is very talented and I will recommend him to anyone who is looking to get work done. The process is a lot simpler than most make it seem. Yes, there was a little pain for me but I will definitely say it was absolutely worth every minute of it. Thank you Dr. Hedden."
"Dr. Hedden and his staff are beyond amazing. Everyone is so caring. I was treated like family. After my surgery and follow up appt, they called and checked on me. Today, I received a personalized thank you card that the whole staff signed and wrote well wishes in. They go above and beyond at HPS! I would recommend them 100 times over and I will use them for any future needs! I honestly cannot say enough good/nice things about Dr. Hedden and his staff! Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of me!"
"Dr. Hedden and His Staff Are AMAZING - My experience was so great. I felt so comfortable and everyone was so nice and helpful. I couldn't have imagined going to another place for my procedure. This is the place to go in Birmingham! I am so satisfied and happy with my results from Dr. Hedden."
"EXCELLENT Dr. - Dr. Hedden and staff is the best, his staff made several calls making sure I was fine and was there anything I needed. I had a tummy tuck and I have nothing negative to say about it. The only time I experience pain was when I had to cough, sneeze or sit up. I RECOMMEND Dr. Hedden for any plastic surgery you may need. I'm going back for neck surgery."
"Breast Augmentation 4/30/2019 - 545cc in Left 545cc in right. I had my procedure done April 30, 2019. I arrived at Hedden Plastic Surgery at 6:15am, filled out necessary paperwork, took urine pregnancy test (which was negative of course), and got dressed for surgery. I received my anesthesia through IV in my wrist. I remember going into the operation room and the bed being warm and kind of vibrating. A nurse put some type of compression wraps around my legs. I remembered laughing as they administered my anesthesia and I was sleep. When I woke up I was in a bit of pain but I asked question after question."
"I Had the Best Experience - He was honest, made me feel completely comfortable and definitely understood the results I was looking for and came through on my girls!!!! The staff was pleasant and always happy! It was my first surgery and they all made me feel so safe!"
"I am 23 years old. I had been thinking about breast augmentation for about 2 years before I went to Dr. Hedden for a consultation. For the longest time I felt less than a woman because of my small breast size. I had a nice little figure, but it was a "half hour glass" shape. I have a big butt, a small waist and NO BREAST! I was very troubled by that and one day I did something about it.
I had surgery at Hedden Plastic Surgery. Before augmentation I was a full 34A. I decided to go with 390 cc which would give me about a 2 cup size difference. The day of the surgery I remember going back and speaking briefly with a nurse, the doctor and the anesthesiologist. They all were shocked at how calm I was. I was so happy to be getting this procedure done! I was walked into the surgical suite where I was given an IV. I chose to have my implants placed underneath my muscle and the incision was made underneath the fold of my breast.
The next thing I remember was waking up in the recovery room. The nurse smiled and asked how I was doing. I felt really good after I woke up. I truly was not in any pain. It was more of a feeling of tightness in my chest. Shortly thereafter, my fiancé pulled the car up and I was wheeled out. I was feeling well enough that I went into Rite Aid with him to fill my Rx. Then I was taken home to relax and recover.
My recovery process was good. I never felt pain, it was just like a pulled muscle. I was a little stiff for about 2 days, but after that I was okay. I only took maybe 2 of the pain pills. The day after surgery I switched to extra strength Tylenol and the day after that I took nothing. My surgery was on a Monday and I returned to work, feeling great, on Thursday. When I woke up I finally looked down at my "new additions" and noticed that they were basically to my collar bone! They dropped eventually, and now, if I tell someone they do not believe me because they look SO NATURAL!
Some people may think that if you go to a bigger size you may have some limitations to what you can do activity wise. That is not the case for me. I have always been an athletic person and nothing has changed. I can still play basketball, lift weights and anything else that I did before surgery. The only thing I had to adjust to was sleeping on my stomach with a bigger breast size. You kinda feel like you may bust them if you lay on them for too long, but trust me … they won't.
People ask me what was it like to have surgery and would I do it again. My best advice to them would be to research the procedure and the doctor that you would like to go to. Weigh the pros and cons and do what it best for you. But please understand that there are risks involved but for me, my joy and COMPLETE SATISFACTION totally outweighed the risk.
I have had no complication at all and I love my new body. The only thing that I would change would be the size. You may think that 390's sound big and they are. They are a full 34C now, but I think I could pull off a D cup with my body shape. So, Dr. Hedden and staff … see you soon!"
"I picked Dr. Hedden because I liked his consult and his price. - I did over 6 consults with 6 different doctors. I picked Dr Hedden because I liked his consult and his price. I will be having my surgery May 9th. I am having a breast lift with implants (don’t know how many CC yet) and a full tummy tuckUpdated on 23 Apr 2019:Updated on 25 Apr 2019:Updated on 11 May 2019:I am home now resting, the pain is no joke. Doing what the doctor told me and taking my meds on time. My breast hurt the most. I ended up with 420cc silicone implants and a lift. The tummy tuck area is sore and if I move wrong it burns like a mother. My breast are filly high right but they will drop some so I am not to worried. The doc was great and answered all my questions, I go back in a week for the drains to be removedUpdated on 28 May 2019:So 3 weeks out, I will say the TT is the easiest thing out of all of this. I got the Experal (I think that’s how you spell it) shot and let me tell you, best $500 ever spent. My right breast is dropping slower then the left and I have a bit more pain in them then anything. I will say my back pain is the worse, I know it’s from how I am having to bend because of the muscle tightening. I am back at work, this was harder then I thought and needed more time off then I planned. I am lucky and have a very understanding boss so that’s not been a problem. My final drain tube will be out by then end of this week and I can’t wait. So far loving my flat tummy and I have curves now!!!!Updated on 30 May 2019:Well I underestimated the level of pain. My breast are super sore and the right is worse then the left. The binder is causing my back to be sore and my muscles to spasm. I am still not back to work. The left breast has dropped some but my right is not moving at all. I go back to my PS tomorrow so I hope he can tell me if this is all normal.Updated on 18 Jun 2019:I am finally feeling human. My breast are still dropping and my tummy tuck is completely healed. I am still a bit swollen but getting better everyday "

The next morning at 6 am was my surgery, I was very nervous and anxious, but dr Jude and his assistant were so sweet and patient. The next day I had my post op appointment, I don’t really remember very well because of the medication and the anesthesia after effects. But the experience was amazing and I love my results. I would do it all over again. I 100% recommend dr Hedden Plastic Surgery center. It was smooth, easy, Comfortable and I know I can reach out to dr Jude LaBarbera at any time. Thank you!!!!"

"My experience with Dr. Hedden and ALL of his staff has been nothing less than impeccable. After having breast implants for over 22 years, waking to one being ruptured, needless to say I was a little "freaked out". I have never experienced such kindness, understanding, and comfort from a doctor and staff. Dr. Hedden listened to my concerns, addressed all questions, and made the implant exchange in unprecedented time. I am thrilled with the outcome of my surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Hedden. If you do not live in the Birmingham area, it is definitely worth the drive to have this type of care and also in such a beautiful ambient setting."

"Dr.Hedden and his staff are great .He is always honest with you about what will work for your body."
"I drove to Birmingham for a consultation after having a bad Experience with a consultation in Huntsville for a cosmetic procedure. I had a consultation with Dr. Hedden which gave me the confidence to move forward with my procedure because he explained everything to me about my situation so that I could understand it and he gave me options which were never given to me in Huntsville. I had a Great Experience with a very complex surgery and Dr. Hedden and his staff were so Amazing during and even the 2 months following my procedure. I couldn't be happier and I will drive that far every time because they really care about their patients! I was blown away with the support from him and his staff!"
"Dr. Hedden and his staff are the BEST! I felt comfortable with him from the initial appointment. He answered all my questions and helped me feel comfortable with my decision on size for implants.

"Dr. Hedden performed my cousin's breast augmentation approximately 10 years ago and she had the most beautiful breast I had ever seen until he did mine October 2018. I am so very pleased with the results. His staff is so amazing and accommodating. Those tv doctors in California have nothing on Dr. Hedden!"
"I am a 33 year old mother of two. After the birth of my second child, my breasts became deflated and saggy. I had contemplated having implants for a couple of years. I finally decided to splurge and schedule my surgery.
I never felt any anxiety about the surgery. I was already a C cup prior to surgery but needed the fullness and perkiness back. I decided to go to a full D cup.
My surgery was scheduled on a Saturday at 2:00. My husband waited in the lobby while I went back and got ready for "the new me." Dr. Hedden came in and marked the size right on my breasts to be sure there were no mistakes, then the nurse began to administer the IV for the anesthesia.
When I woke up from the surgery I was freezing. I felt a lot of pressure, like an elephant was sitting on my chest. The nurse gave me a nice warm blanket and helped me put on the sports bra and my terry cloth jacket. She then wheeled me down in a wheelchair to the lobby where my husband was waiting.
When I got home I started taking the prescriptions. I took these like clockwork the first 24 hours and slept most of the time. I had to have help sitting up in the bed because you cannot put any strain on the arm muscle. The next day I got out of the bed and walked to the couch. I could move around really well. Even though I made myself move around I was careful not to pick up anything or strain my arm or chest muscles.
By the third day I would say I was back to 95% which really surprised me. The surgery and recovery was a lot easier than I had ever anticipated. It definitely was worth what little pain I had and worth every cent I paid. I would do it again in a minute."
"I am 37 years old and prior to my breast augmentation I was a 36A. I have always wanted a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I did years of research and looked at hundreds of before and after pictures. I also joined a message board and talked to people that had this done.
I made my consult with Dr. Hedden and decided that he was the surgeon for me. He took the time to answer ALL my questions and I was comfortable with him and the staff. Dr. Hedden had asked me what size I was considering and I said 375cc's and he said let me just suggest that you go with 395cc's. His reason was that most woman want to be bigger because once the swelling goes down you see a different size. I left my consult still unsure about the size I wanted but I booked my surgery!
I went home and did the rice test in the stockings trying to figure out what I wanted. I wore the rice bags in my bras for days to get comfortable with the size I was considering. My husband thought at this point I was just boobie obsessed, which I was. I finally chose 395cc's, round implants and placed under the muscles, under the breast incision.
On my surgery day, I was so excited that I was finally going to have breasts after all these years of being flat chested. I started to get nervous once they took me back, but once I woke from surgery it was OK. The only thing I felt was heaviness on my chest. I felt that way for days. I never really felt any bad pain. I felt heavy on top. So, for me the recovery time was great.
There was another surgery date for me. I had the right breast that had "bottomed out" which means that the right breast was sitting slightly lower then the left. My husband said it was hardly noticeable but I noticed it. I wanted it fixed so Dr. Hedden went back in and did what they call tacking it up. That surgery for me was a little more painful then my first but still no regrets. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I have not had any physical limitations because of my breast augmentation. I'm able to workout and go about my daily life with no problems.
With my surgery I was a 36A and with the 395cc's that put me at 36 small D. I'm very happy that I went ahead with the surgery. I feel better in clothes, my self-esteem has soared. I have had nothing but support from family and friends. I was excited so I had to tell everyone I knew.
In retrospect if I could change one thing I would have gone bigger! I do plan on going bigger in the future. Play with all the sizers or take a bra with you of the size you want to be and see what sizers fill it.
All in all, I have had a GREAT experience. Dr. Hedden and his staff are absolutely wonderful and I would recommend them anyone!"

"Breast implant exchange after 22 years - After having breast implants for 22 years, I woke one Saturday morning to find one had ruptured. I was extremely nervous about the situation. Having also added 22 years to my life, no longer the once fearless young woman, but a more mature woman with grown children who takes my experiences a lot more seriously. After several recommendations to Dr. Hedden in Birmingham (despite not living there) I called his office on the following Monday. Right from the start I felt like this was going to be where I needed to go. The Staff was super friendly, on the phone and in person. The nurses were amazingly kind and helpful. My consultation was on Tuesday and I had surgery Thursday. Dr. Hedden was so reassuring to me, listened to my concerns, and made recommendations to me, that I ultimately went with. He was exactly correct in everything he said. His office alone speaks of great magnitude of how he wants all of his patients to feel. From office staff to nursing and even the anesthesiologist this office represents excellence. Thank you Dr. Hedden for not only reassuring me but making me look more beautiful than ever!"
"Extremely Knowledgeable MD - I absolutely love Dr. Hedden and his staff! Dr. Hedden explained everything to me in detail about my procedure and I love my results. If you have any questions for him or his staff, they will surely answer. If I need anything else, I will definitely return to Hedden Plastic Surgery!"
"Wonderful experience - Now I wonder why I didnt have a tummy tuck sooner. Dr. Hedden and his staff were friendly and respectful. And I love my taught, flat tummy. I was very self consious that my "lower roll" made the front of my pants buldgey. That is all gone now. And my abdominal muscles, which spread out with the birth of my children, are now back in place."
"Beat Lift with Implants - After 3 breastfeeding 3 babies, my natural double ds looked like tube socks made of crepe paper, I could stuff all the breast tissue into b cup bras and still have a big gap at the top. I wish I'd taken "before" pics. I'm 8 days post op today and so far very happy. I had to have a lollipop lift and had "400cc moderate plus projection implants, size 325-390" (overfilled to 400 with saline).I know they have a lot of changing to do over the weeks and months, but they're already giving my confidence a boost. I workout too hard to have breasts of an 80 year old!Updated on 7 Dec 2018:I still have some fluid swelling at the bottom of my breasts and pecs are still swollen, but very happy so fast. The vertical scar is barely visible but scar tissue around my areolas is irritated and inflamed from my sports bras but is already significantly better after 1 week of using silicone sheeting."

"I would recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone looking to have plastic surgery. The staff is wonderful. Having said that I will tell you about my experience at Hedden Plastic Surgery.
I was 20 years at the time of the surgery. I weigh about 100 lbs and was an A cup. I have considered breast augmentation for a while. I have always been self conscious about myself throughout school. After I had two kids, I was very unsatisfied with my breast and I finally decided to do something about it.
I started searching online and found Dr. Hedden. I read all the testimonials and decided to make a consultation. After meeting with him I knew right away that he was the one that I was going to let perform my surgery.
The day of my consult was the day I scheduled my surgery. 15 days later was my surgery, I was so excited yet nervous. I was still undecided on the size when I got there but I quickly decided that I wanted 425cc behind muscle with the incision under the breast. They took pictures and started my iv. After they put the anesthesia into my iv, I didn't remember much except them telling me they would take care of me and I was going to be fine. The next thing I remember was waking up very sore. They gave me drink, crackers and I had to have something for pain.
The first day was very uncomfortable for me. I had to stay at a motel because I live more than 30 minutes away from Birmingham. I did not get much sleep that night. I had an appointment the next day. Dr. Hedden said I looked good and that he would see me in 3 weeks. I am still waiting to go to my post-op appointment.
It has been 11 days and I am feeling better. The first week was hard. It feels like a muscle pull, very uncomfortable feeling. I wasn't supposed pick up over 5 lbs and didn't listen because I have a 9 month baby girl and she just made me pick her up. Other than that it has been good.
I am very satisfied with my breast now. I am more confident in myself than I have ever been. So thanks Dr. Hedden and all of his staff!
I was small A cup before surgery now I am a 36C. Sports bras are very comfortable and I love to be able to wear them and still look good. I am so pleased with my results! One of my best friends is considering going to Dr. Hedden to have this procedure because she loves the results also. Thanks to all the staff, they are the nicest people that I have ever meet. See y'all soon!"
"I had an upper eyelid lift and fat transfer to my face and my wife had full face laser resurfacing and cheek fat transfer. We both are completely satisfied and amazed at the results. Dr Hedden and staff were terrific in every aspect. We highly recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery Center."
"My skin never looked so good! - As a bit nervous Dr. Hedden made me feel at ease and comfortable enough to ask any questions I had. His positive disposition was a complement to his professional thoroughness. He explained the procedure and what to expect in the recovery process. Dr. Hedden’s staff are very well trained and efficient."
"We never looked better and are completely satisfied - Dr Hedden is wonderful. He takes his time with you, explains the procedure and explains all you need to know about recovery and answers any questions you may have. A very pleasant and professional physician."
"Fantastic Place - Dr. Hedden and his staff are amazing!! I felt so comfortable with him from the start. He answered all my questions and helped me feel comfortable with my decision on size of the implants I was wanting. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!"
"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."
"The ONLY surgeon I will use - Dr. Hedden has preformed 2 surgeries on me 4 years apart and I have been happy with both. First was a breast augmentation and then a Brazilian butt lift. I will never use anyone else for anything else. All surgeries are in house so no hospital visits needed and there is even a spa upstairs that fits all your other needs. I refer every girl I see to him and they are all happy with their results as well. Even random girls I meet out on the town who ask me if I have had work done and really want something done theirselves but don’t know where to start. I send them all to Dr. Hedden. I did a lot of research and a lot of consultations 4 years ago and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Hedden. He has made sure that I am not a walking horror story. I know too many girls who have had messed up breast by going to someone else and then have to go to Dr. Hedden for revision. He is the first and ONLY choice in my opinion."
"It was such an easy procedure and no down time! - 10/10 recommend using Hedden Plastic Surgery. Dr. Hedden did my breast augmentation and I couldn't be more pleased and excited about the outcome! I'm in pleased and happy with my size. Dr. Hedden explained everything in great detail about the procedure and what to expect. I also had the MiraDry procedure done at HPS December 2017 and I love my results. It was such an easy procedure and no down time! I would recommend Dr. Hedden for any cosmetic needs to everyone!!"
"I am a physician from South Florida who flew to Birmingham, Alabama just so I could visit Dr William Hedden at the Hedden Plastic Surgery Center and have the "miraDry" procedure performed on myself, as quite honestly, I sweat profusely and after I heard him lecture on this topic at a medical conference, I wanted to have this procedure performed on myself to stop my underarm sweat and odor.As every physician knows, doctors make the worst patients, and I was on my best behavior to avoid being one of those patients that every doctor hates to see when they walk into the treatment room. So, after a flight to Birmingham and a night at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Mountain Brook, I took an Uber to the Hedden Plastic Surgery Center and was the first patient of the day. Upon arrival, the office and surgical suite was stunningly beautiful and modern that could rival any medical office in the country. I was greeted by a friendly staff, and completed my paperwork on one of their computers.I was taken into an examination room, given a full informed consent and explanation of the miraDry procedure. Truth be told, I already did some research before hand via one of his nurses and was well prepared to have the procedure performed. I had the pleasure to have Wynn work on me and she was an outstanding medical nurse that has performed the miraDry procedure many times.After a local anesthesia that I barley felt, the miraDry procedure is like a handheld wand that uses miraWave energy that targets and destroys sweat and odor glands in your underarm. Once those glands are destroyed they do not grow back so that means once they are gone, they are gone for good. The entire procedure took about 45 minuted each side and I had pretty much zero pain and took a Uber to the airport to travel home. The only challenge was trying to keep the ice packs under each armpit and travel on a plane, so if I had to do it again, I would have spend another night in Alabama and leave the next day.So there you go, I had the miraDry procedure performed on myself and now I get to write a Yelp review about an embarrassing medical condition I have (well technically I am cured now so the correct word is "had" and I am glad I did it). The day after and next few days after the procedure were not bad at all, other than some significant swelling in my underarms that made me look like I was at the gym, and there was some mild redness. I really had no pain, no complications, and would 100% recommend this procedure and Dr Hedden to anyone that has excessive underarm sweating or odor.I am sure that there are other doctors and medical centers that offer this procedure, but I decided to go to Dr Hedden as I felt he was a world class expert in this procedure and after hearing him lecture and spend some time in his office, I am super happy I traveled to see him and his staff --- he deserves my 5 star rating on Yelp."
"I have five kids and i had stubborn belly fat,and I also wanted a nice butt. So i decided to go with the lipo and fat transfer to the buttocks.
Dr. Hedden made me feel very comfortable. He answered all my questions. He did an amazing job on my fat transfer to my buttocks, I can't stop looking at my butt in the mirror! Love it! I am only two weeks post op and I am seeing great results from my lipo also."
"He is amazing!!! he did my breast augmentation and I 'am so glad he did the size he did otherwise I wouldn't have been happy thank you so much Dr. Hedden and staff for everything!"
"I had such a fabulous experience with Dr Hedden! I had my mid-face, eyes, neck and lips done and the results were amazing. He and his entire staff were so caring and attentive. I am so thrilled when people are so surprised at my age (56).....they can't believe it! Thank you so much Hedden Plastic Surgery!!!"
"Great Surgeon! Genuinely good person as well! - I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. The office is absolutely beautiful and clean. They put my mind at ease from start to finish. I would do it all over again with this surgeon! You won't regret going to him."
"5 Star Treatment - A great practice with great customer care. I absolutely loved my experience. I was nervous about the whole procedure. But they made me feel very comfortable before and even weeks after when I had questions."
"Best Doctor/Best nursing staff! - I had a Breast Lift and Aug. about a month ago. I absolutely love my results! I would highly recommend Dr.Hedden to anyone seeking Breast Surgery! He is professional, caring and his work is beyond amazing. I could have never dreamed of a day I would feel so good about my breast! But I do! I love them! His nursing staff is absolutely hands down amazing! You can contact them anytime and they are available! Please please please if your seeking any kind of surgery use this team! Amazing!!!!!!"
"He is amazing!!! he did my breast augmentation and I 'am so glad he did the size he did otherwise I wouldn't have been happy thank you so much Dr. Hedden and staff for everything!"
"32yrs old. Mom of 3. 5’4 118lbs athletic build. Hoping to not need a lift - I’ve been wanting to do this for about 3 yers now. I have my consultation next week with Dr. Hedden. I’m so excited but I’m hoping he will say i won’t need a lift. I don’t plan on going under the muscle either. I lift heavy and don’t want it to interfere with or cause loss of muscle strength. I want them more full at the top without them looking fake.Updated on 23 May 2018:I had my consultation today. The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Hedden was quick but listened to and answered my questions. He suggested 450cc to get the desired size I’m wanting (full C- small D) I will be scheduling my surgery with him soon. I’m super excited about finally getting my boobs back ????.Updated on 29 May 2018:I’m planning to call and schedule my surgery date Friday ???? I’m so nervous and excited. I won’t be scheduling it until after September. The anticipation is going to be brutal. "

"Amazing work - I am 5 years out from my breast aug and I can still say it was the best decision I have ever made. My scars are barely visible, healing was quick and easy, and to this day my breasts are perfect. Dr Hedden encouraged me to go with the larger implant size and I am very thankful I did. They fit my body perfectly."
"44 yo mom of 2, breastfed; 82 lb weight loss and left with saggy sad boobs; 550cc Mentor HP Memory Gel Silicone - I wish I had tried this review from the beginning but better late than never. I am 44 and have 2 amazing adult kids to which I breastfed both. My baby is 19 so I’ve had sad saggy boobs for years now. After kids my weight was always a problem. Gain/lose over and over. I have lost 82 lbs now. Let say that did not help the saggy boobs. They were saggy and deflated now. BAD!!I was a 34D even with the sad boobs. There was just so much extra skin that I had too much for a smaller cup as they would bulge out. In my D they just sank to the bottom and left the top gapped. And when I wore a sports bra..I looked like a 12 year old at the gym. Suckers went flat as a pancake. I always refrained from wearing low cut shirts because there jut wasn’t anything there. Or a swim suit. I just didn’t feel feminine with my socks of rocks so to speak My husband and I had talked over the years that one day my time would come. He is my biggest supporter. I made the consult and I set my surgery date and haven’t looked back."
"Dr. Hedden surpassed my expectations - My experience with Dr. Hedden surpassed my expectations. I told him what I wanted and he delivered perfect results. He made my husband and me feel extremely comfortable with the surgery. The office and surgical center are beautiful, clean, and state of the art. His staff was great, and I was so excited to learn that he is a participating surgeon in the Glow study by Mentor. Day of surgery went extremely smoothly, and afterwards his staff called to check on me and even sent me a card in the mail. I had always wanted an augmentation but knew once the time came I'd have to move quickly before I chickened out, so I really appreciated the ease of scheduling appointments and his availability. From consult to surgery was a little over a month which was perfect for me. Because I had such a great experience, I am looking into having some skin procedures done and spa services that I had not considered before. I could not be happier with my results and am so thankful to Dr. Hedden and his staff!"
"Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck - My experience with Dr. Hedden was great from start to finish.I called to schedule a consultation and had my first appointment two weeks later. I was going to discuss breast augmentation. I didn't know what was best for me but after meeting him and talking for just a few minutes, he knew exactly what I needed and what would be best for me. That was a relief in itself because I was so nervous and I didn't want to make a bad decision. After discussing breast augmentation, I asked him about options for my stomach and he recommended a full tummy tuck. I went ahead and scheduled surgery for both and had a surgery date set for two weeks later. The experience from beginning to the end of surgery was very comforting. I'm completely satisfied with my results. I realize this is what they do but my husband and I were just so astonished by the work he did. He did an amazing job and I feel like a new and more confident person thanks to Dr. Hedden! I'm so thankful to him and the staff!Updated on 16 May 2018:Updated on 16 May 2018:Updated on 16 May 2018:"

"I had breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. The two surgeries have changed my life. I had areas that would not change after having two children. I decided to look into plastic surgery. After having two consultations with two different doctors, I decided to visit Dr. Hedden. The consultation was wonderful. Dr. Hedden and his staff made me feel at ease. They explained everything and were right there for the entire procedure and recovery.
I am truly grateful for what Dr. Hedden has done for me. After hearing of my experience, my sister will be having surgery later this month with Dr. Hedden. Thank you for all you have done for me, Dr. Hedden."
"Breast lift (mastopexy) with augmentation - I am 33 years old and I’ve had self confidence issues for around 13 years because of super sagging flat breasts that had a wrinkled stretched raisin like appearance. After breast feeding my two children and my weight loss from 224 lbs to 160 lbs - I finally decided I had enough of my breasts looking the way they did. I had my breast surgery on 3/28/8. When I woke up from the surgery I was in an immense amount of pain but that faded over 3 days and I went back to work after 4 days. (Very light work duty) Right now I’m sitting at a little over a month since having them done. I chose silicone cohesive gel mentor implants filled with 450cc each. A little before 2 weeks my right breast had an allergic reaction to the adhesive of the steri strips so I took some steroids and tried to keep the steri strips on a little longer. I took the steri strips off just before the 3 week mark and the incisions looked a little scary, because of the scabbing but that’s normal. The scabs finally fell off and the incisions looked awesome for how little time had passed. At a month post op I sent my surgeon pictures and he said my nipples were still sitting a little low because the implants were still a little high. He instructed me to start massaging down so the implants would drop and give me a more natural look. I’ve also started using a scar treatment called ScarGard - it stinks something awful!! Overall I’m thrilled with how they look and can’t wait to see the final result! Updated on 4 Jun 2020:Just wanted to update with original pictures and results! One thing that I might change would be nipple size. (I would have had him cut them down a bit) It seems like once my nipples were cut lose, they relaxed and just stayed that way and now appear pretty large. I don’t have the “drawn up” movement ever - even when I’m cold. But overall, I feel like my scars are pretty minimal and my confidence has definitely improved."
"Bye Bye Tuberous Breast Thanks to Dr. Hedden - I am 28 years old and since I was 16 I have wanted my breast fixed they were ugly, odd shaped and small. I was eventually given the diagnosis tuberous breast which made since once I researched it. Fast forward to after college I got married and had children. Finally, I was able to convince my husband that now was the time. I always knew which doctor I wanted to go to Dr. Hedden!!!!!!! Needless to say I contacted Heather his out of town patient coordinator who went above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns I had. I scheduled my surgery I was stoked. April 18th is when I had my life changing surgery. We did my pre-op and Dr Hedden and his staff were knowledgeable and Dr Hedden was straightforward gave me all the facts and what I could expect especially since I had tuberous breast and wasn’t going to get the lift. Now the day of surgery I have to admit that I was beyond nervous as this was my first surgery. Carol was wonderful as she got me ready for Dr Hedden to draw on me he came in asked me if I was sure I wanted 650 cc saline and I said yes. He said he would put in what he could fit. His anesthesiologist (Travis) knew I was nervous he calmed my nerves and put me to sleep. I woke up and had 650 cc in both recovery has been a breeze I was off medication by Friday the 20th and back to work the 24th. If someone reading this post is considering Dr Hedden please go to him he will give you beautiful results!Updated on 15 Sep 2018:I love my overall results that Dr. Hedden was able to give me. I cannot stress enough how marvelous he and his staff are. I hear a lot of women complain about recovery time. I had absolutely no complaints and was off my pain medicine the next day after surgery. Do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Hedden and his staff. I will answer any and all questions you have."

Stats:41 (only for a few short time)5'5"128lb34D according to VS but PS says small C if thatMother of 2 girls (20 and 15 years old)I had my consult with Dr. Hedden January 2018. He was SUPER busy but very nice, patient, and he did not leave the room until all my questions were answered. His staff was also nice and patient with me. Could not have asked for a better consult. I'm currently leaning toward 300 silicone implant under the muscle. PS says 250 to stay the same size and 300 for one size larger. Ideally, I would like to have a full upper pole with D cup breast. Crossing my fingers.Pics look upside down when I upload. Hope they turn right side up for viewing."
"37 Years Old, 3 Kids - I've done my research on breast augmentations for quite some time. I knew the profile I wanted, size, basically everything I needed to know. The back pain and the nerve pain I had in one of my arms was well worth it. I definitely would do it all over again. I didn't experience any other pain. Well worth it."

"I don't think I could have had a better surgical experience anywhere else, and I drove in from Atlanta. Dr Hedden is very concise, informative and honest during the consultation process. His staff is very accommodating, no matter what your concerns are. These people really are fantastic.
The results of my breast augmentation, though, are the real testament to a good rating. I would have expected to pay at least $1000 more than I did. Anyone I've told that my breasts aren't natural has been shocked, and I went 2 cup sizes up (through the navel)."
"26 YRS 5’1 120lbs 34c! [BREAST AUGMENTATION] - Hii, I‘m finally going to get my Breast Augmentation!! I’m scheduled for May 16 with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham Al!

I’m thinking 400-415cc’s is that too much for my size?? Should I go smaller...? Ughhh idk... I’m also getting silicone, and under the breast incision. Or is it better for the armpits ???? I posted some pictures!! Can anyone help me out?? Thankfully when I sent over my pictures to the office, they told me I didn’t need a lift! PHEW !All I know is I def want over 375 cc’s, silicone implants (smooth and round) maybe high profile?? and somewhere with the least scarring (if that makes any sense) is there a different with high profile and moderate plus profile??"

"Dr. Hedden is the best surgeon around! He is kind, polite, and honest. He runs a very professional clinic and the staff are extremely nice as well. It's a beautiful office that makes u feel at home."
"I absolutely loved my experience at Dr Hedden’s office!! All the staff is very friendly and Dr Hedden was very nice and helped calm me down right before my surgery. So far I’m absolutely in love with my results and can not wait until I’m completely healed:)"
"My experience with Dr. Hedden was the best! I had a breast augmentation in July of 2012 and it was okay. I did 290cc of saline I can't say anything bad about that surgeon. I just wanted an upgrade I wanted them bigger and I wanted silicone! I had a friend that went to dr. Hedden and she was very pleased with him, so I decided I scheduled a consultation with him it took me about 2 months to get a consultation. I was in the office for probably 15 mins before I was called into a room to see dr. Hedden! Me and my boyfriend played around with the samples while we waited to see what size we liked. I was kinda hard for me to tell what it would look like since I already had implants. Originally I was wanting to go to a 450! But me and my boyfriend continued to talk about it and said we really couldn't even tell a difference so we picked 500 (he wanted me to go a lot bigger being a male of course) but I researched and researched females my size and 500 cc of silicone gel, and I truly liked the size and I felt those would look best! My consultation was July the 14th and that day we scheduled the surgery for august the 10th. My surgery was scheduled for 8 I got back in the room about 9 around 10 the took me back for surgery. I remember waking up around 12:15 and I left at 12:30, I ended up getting 525cc silicone gel! It was a super easy process. I felt like everything was done in a timely manor. I stayed the night the night of my surgery and had to follow up post op day one, while I was there I got some juvaderm injections in my lips! It was pretty painful but I have to say I absolutely love them! They a beautiful I've received so many compliments on my lips! I'm now post op day 5 I can pretty much do anything I'm still a little sore! I will return to work Friday and I can't wait to show off my lips! I highly recommend dr. Hedden and his facility. He truly listens to you and your concerns. He puts his patients first. The staff is awesome as well, they make you feel at home. And the anesthesiologist was great to! The day after I got home I had a get well soon card from his facility which was super kind. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change one thing! In my opinion Dr. hedden in the BEST plastic surgery!"
"I have been a patient of DR. Hedden for many years and am always thrilled with my care and results. I had breast augmentation 10 years ago and a breast implant exchange just recently . I will never go anywhere else for my plastic surgery needs!"
"I have had a very good experience with Dr. Hedden and his Staff. I would suggest anyone to go here."
"Dr. Schaffer and his staff are absolutely amazing! I had breast augmentation on April 14th 2017. Over the past month Dr. Schaffer and his staff have taken very good care of me. I had some issues that were unexpected, unplanned for and were not anyone's fault, my body just didn't want to cooperate! Dr. Schaffer made sure that he did everything in his power to treat me properly and professionally take care of me. He even saw me in his office on a Saturday night, when he didn't have to! He took time away from his family and personal life to check on me, even calling my husband the next day to make sure all was good. In my eyes Dr. Schaffer and his staff have went above and beyond for me and for that I greatly appreciate them! I would highly recommend him to anyone that asks!! Thanks Dr. Schaffer and staff at Hedden Plastic Surgery!!!"
"I had an online virtual consultation with Dr. Hedden, he replied quickly and answered all of my questions and addressed every concern. I scheduled my surgery four weeks after my online consultation. His staff is extremely personable and helpful. At my consultation he didn't rush anything, he was so informative, and I felt very comfortable. He actually found a hernia in my belly button that my current doctors never mentioned. Surgery day went great, I was comfortable, and everyone was on the same page, there were no questions. He asked me what size I'd like to be and made a suggestion based off my size and dimensions. Everything went smoothly and I couldn't be more satisfied with choosing Dr. Hedden as my surgeon!"
"Had surgery Monday and I'm almost 5 days out. The staff is really nice n makes sure everyone is on the same page, before performing any procedure. They make u feel comfortable and help you out as much as they can! Dr. Hedden was great, highly recommend him."
"Dr. Hedden is the BEST surgeon in the US. He does a great job on surgeries and is very kind. You can go to him for any plastic surgery!!! I cut my leg going up an escalator and he put some kind of glue in it and it got better in the next week!!!"
"Dr. Hedden performed my first breast augmentation seven years ago, and later my implant exchange. He is the best!! I trust his opinion explicitly! He is the only plastic surgeon I would ever trust to do future surgeries."
"The whole medical team has been fabulous. Dr. Hedden has the best bed side manner and makes you feel comfortable. From my initial consultation, sugery, and post-op appoinments I recieved the best care. I would recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery 110%"
"I had my miradry procedure done in March and I am so happy with my results! The procedure was so simple and painless. I did have swelling and tenderness post procedure but nothing that ibuprofen didn't help with! There is really no downtime, I was back to work that afternoon. Even the numbing process wasn't terrible. I haven't had a drop of sweat since and another bonus is that most of my hair is gone!! I couldn't be more satisfied with this amazing procedure and recommend it and Hedden Plastic Surgery to everyone!"
"6 days post and I feel wonderful - I’m so happy that I found Dr. Hedden and his practice. I was coming in as a very small A, and feeling ugly. His out of state coordinator Heather, was nothing but phenomenal. She answered every question I had and always returned my calls/text/emails. When I had my consultation with Dr. Hedden, I was blown away at how comfortable I was. He included my husband and made sure he wasn’t even left out. Surgery day was a breeze, my bedside staff was more than I could have asked for. I’m only 6 days post and I feel wonderful and look wonderful. So thankful for finding him! Best wishes!"
"A Couple Years of Weight Loss and Working Out, Tummy Tuck Time - I had lots of loose skin after losing around 60 lbs over several years. I had been working out pretty hard as well. So I contacted Dr. Hedden, who was close by and seemed to be reviewed well. The whole thing was quite a process for sure, but I can now say that it was absolutely worth it. It was a little over a year ago now and I continue to see things flattening out. I weighed 220 lbs going into the tummy tuck and I weigh 214 now. I'm still working towards the weight I was as an athlete in college. One thing I will mention is that a tummy tuck is a major procedure, it takes a long time to truly get back to normal with it. You can get back to all your activities rather quickly but your body isn't going to settle back to normal for some time."
"Dirty 30 - I turned 30 this year and I've always wanted to get my boobs done but have always had a reason not to. This year I couldn't find a reason not to and finally took the plunge! I saw Dr Hedden and his staff, and they were awesome! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I'm on day two is of recovery and my husband has to leave town. Im sore but there's nothing I can't manage on my own at this point! I'll post pictures soon!Updated on 25 Mar 2018:I have been stalking real self for about 3 years, almost had a BBL last year but some things just ended up not panning out. But I did decide after losing some weight that I would be getting my BA/BL done. And I did! 750cc mentor implants and I couldn't be happier! Recovery isn't too bad and I look forward to posting pictures to see the on going process!Updated on 26 Mar 2018:As you can tell from my last two updates, I have definitely been on some pain meds! I figured I'd post some after photos. Today I'm back at work 3 days after surgery and I'm sore for sure! I'm looking forward to being home and sitting still! Updated on 27 Mar 2018:Not a whole lot to update! 5 days post op and I'm not in a whole lot of pain. That may change since I'm working a 13 hour shift today, but we will see! Has anyone else used Nitro cream on their nipples? My doctor gave me a small supply to take home to help with nerve healing, and I've been using it religiously! I just ran out this morning though. Anyhow I'll post some update photos soon! Updated on 28 Mar 2018:So tomorrow will officially make a week post op and I'm itching to get back to my normal routine, going to the gym, and picking up my son! Unfortunately, because I'm not quite there, I have to do other things to occupy my time. I worked a 13 hour shift yesterday and it wasn't too bad. I felt a bit woozy mid day and sat for a little bit and felt better. My chest did feel really heavy today though, not painful, just heavy! I decided I needed to find a more supportive sports bra. I tried some at Target, Kohls, and then Ross before settling on a Puma sports bra that I'm not sure is the best fit but it's the best I could find. I knew going in to this that having a small rib cage and wanting tobe "so busty" was going to be a challenge when it came to clothing, bras, and bathing suits but the pros outweighed the cons! I have always had a large chest 34F at my largest size, but my weight has always fluctuated and the first thing to come or go with my weight was my breasts. And then after three kids and finally getting down to a size five...my poor deflated boobs could probably be rolled up to fit in to a C cup. Anyhow! I tried some clothes on for fun today while looking for a bra, and I always send pictures to my husband while he stands out and waits for me ;) ! Im definitely still swollen, my left side has dropped a little more than the right, but I'm still super happy with my results. Updated on 29 Mar 2018:I've definitely dreaded posting these, but I know how relevant they are to the review, and giving everyone an idea of how good Dr Hedden is! Updated on 17 Apr 2018:Just a quick update! I'm just a few days shy of 4 weeks post op. I still love my results, my healing is going great, and I think my scars are looking pretty good. I think there's days when I stare to hard and can pick out every small imperfection but looking at my before pictures really snaps me back to reality. I have sharp shooting pains occasionally but nothing horrible. I went back to my the gym today but didn't doing anything the made my arms or band strain. Finding a bra is difficult but I settled on a Victoria secret dream angel 36DDD."

"I am 27 years old and a mother of two, and now I feel like a 27 year old woman again. If you are thinking about getting some work done for your body, just skip all the rest and go see Dr. Hedden, I had called around and got quotes for what I had done (a lift and breast augmentation). He is the most competitive in the closest five states that you can think of around Alabama.
You ask, am I trading quality for price. The answer is simply NO! I found that Dr. Hedden is one of the best in the country. Just ask anyone who has had some work done in the Greystone area … we don't settle for good, we demand great. The staff was very attentive, professional and down to earth. My surgery went great and the work he did looks amazing.
I highly recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery Center to anyone who is on the fence about where to go. On an additional note due to my results, my mother in law has had a consult and scheduled a couple of procedures herself."
"Love my results - Had a BA with doctor hedden two years ago and I love my results he is an amazing doctor and affordable I highly recommend him. He was very professional and staff was amazing also. My breast settled so nice and natural "

"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!!!!"

"I am 32 years old and breast fed both of my children for the first 12 months of their lives. I was never large to begin with, a full B cup which was always fine with me. But after my milk finally dried completely up I couldn't even fit into a training bra. I was so embarrassed for my husband to even look at me. Victoria Secret carried a AA padded bra that actually made me look like I had a little bit up top. I went to purchase several more of that style to find they had discontinued that line!
I have always been a "love the skin you're in" kind of girl, but sadly the condition of my breasts depressed me every time I looked at them. So I started surfing the web, called and emailed many clinics. Then I found Dr. Hedden's office, they were so nice and full of knowledge. They had answers to all of my questions without hesitation (which were many). I scheduled my consult and was still very unsure about the whole idea of surgery and breast augmentation. I arrived for my consult a bit timid and embarrassed, but left excited and with a surgery date scheduled.
My surgery went perfect and my breasts are beautiful! I would recommend anyone in the market for enhancement to look no further! I couldn't be more pleased and my confidence level is better than ever. Thanks again Dr. Hedden!"
"I am 24 years old, 5' 4 and 110 lbs. I have considered having breast implants for about three years, but my husband always told me I did not need it. Even though I have always had to buy padded bras and swimsuits.
After having my second child, my breast just disappeared. I did a lot of research on the internet in my spare time, so one day I was watching Plastic Surgery Before and After and decided I wanted to have it done. My husband comes in from work and I told him I wanted to have it done and he said ok if you want to. So I looked up a plastic surgeon close to where I live and made a consultation with Dr. Hedden for the next day. Me and my husband drove 2 hours and boy was it worth it, Dr. Hedden and his staff where so wonderful and so nice, I did not even have to ask any questions because they explained everything I needed to know and more.
My surgery went great. The first four days was painful but when I woke up on the fifth day the pain was gone. I was a flat A cup and I took Dr. Hedden's advice and had 390cc so now I am a full C cup. I highly recommend the procedure. Now I feel absolutely wonderful."
"33yr old breastfeeding Mom of 3 finally doing something for myself! 5’10, 160lbs, 38AA to 650cc insta @artinamariee - Hey Ladies! Omg I’m so excited AND nervous to be here. I actually joined this community back in 2013 after nursing my 2nd son for 2yrs. I was ready then but due to the nature of my law enforcement career I was unable to proceed with the surgery. Anyway fast forward, another kid later now totaling 3, more nursing but now working from home for myself and single I AM READY!!! Besides childbirth Ive never had surgery so the idea of being put to sleep is kinda scary but I know the Lord’s got me and I’ll be just fine. Right y’all? Right! Oh Lord please let me wake up ????. I plan to document EVERYTHING so stay tuned. I’ve decided to go with Dr. Hedden out of Alabama. Surgery Date: February 27th! Omg that’s soon!! ????"
"Very pleased with results - My experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff have been wonderful thus far. I am only 14 days post-op from breast augmentation and abdominoplasty but I am very pleased with my results so far. I still have a lot of healing to do but I can already see the change and improvement I was hoping for. Dr. Hedden was very professional and straight forward with me during my consultation. The nursing staff has been very friendly and caring. I am so pleased that Dr. Hedden was able to do my surgery. So far, so good. If all continues as I expect it to, I would recommend Dr. Hedden to my friends."
"23 Yrs Old, 1 Child, 5’2”, Around 100lbs, Bra Size About 32A Going For Full C Or Even Small D - So after many years of wanting a breast augmentation and constantly looking on realself for inspiration I'm finally doing it!!!!! So far I've got my consultation scheduled for Feb 16th with Dr Hedden at Hedden Plastic Surgery!!! I'm very excited and nervous to be finally going through this procedure since it's been so long of wanting this done. :)"
"My experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Hedden performed transumbilical breast augmentation on me. I am very happy with my results.
The post-op information I was given prior to my surgery matched my post-op experience. His staff answered all of my questions. The price was very reasonable. The office is beautiful. I am very happy with everything."
"Love my results! - I had the best experience at Hedden Plastic Surgery. Thr environment is very professional and peaceful. From my consultation to my post op appointments, I was made to feel so comfortable. Dr. Hedden and his staff answered all my questions and were very patient with me. They are always just a phone call away if I need anything. I love my results and I have recommended Dr. Hedden to several of my friends!"
"AMAZING! - I have been a patient of DR. Hedden for many years and am always thrilled with my care and results. I had breast augmentation 10 years ago and a breast implant exchange just recently . I will never go anywhere else for my plastic surgery needs!"
"Great experience with miradry! - The staff was fantastic! Miradry treatment went so much smoother than I anticipated. The nurse who administered my numbing meds was very good and I had no pain throughout the entire procedure. The staff knew exactly what they were doing and were very good at it."
"I am 23 and have beautiful breasts. But I have not always been this confident. This past December, I made a decision that I have been contemplating for several years now. I decided to get breast implants.
I have lived my whole life with a very small chest, and have always felt that my body did not look proportional. I graduated college as a size 34A. After graduation, I decided to reward myself with the augmentation I was longing for.
So during a winter break from my graduate studies, I decided it was time. I had my wedding coming up and wanted to look perfect for my special day. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. William Hedden in Birmingham, Alabama to discuss my options. His office had several real "test" implants that I could handle and put in a sports bra. This, along with Dr. Hedden and his nurses' advice, helped me to decide on a 360cc implant. He explained every detail of the procedure and answered all of my relevant, and silly, questions.
After weeks of anticipation, my day finally came. And it wasn't that big of a deal at all. The surgery went by fast, and I was at home before I knew it, sitting on the couch, drinking a smoothie and watching TV. For a few days after, I was extremely sore, but it was not unbearable by any means. The only thing I really needed help with was sitting up out of bed and picking up things.
After the first week, I was able to take care of myself completely. All I had to do was be patient so that I could heal which was probably the most annoying part. I hated not being able to go to the gym for a few weeks.
Today, I am a very happy 36C (full C). I am now able to wear tank tops with the built-in shelf bra with no padded bra underneath! I am working out in cute outfits and my sports bra doesn't make me look like a man. I can confidently say that I have absolutely no regrets about the procedure, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks Dr. Hedden!"
"Breast Augmentation - Today, I received my breast augmentation! Yay! I got to the clinic at 6:15, signed all my paperwork, did my pre-op, Dr.Hedden and his medical team got me all prepped and marked me up. They were the nicest people who made me feel so comfortable! We discussed my sizing before I went into the operating room. During my first consultation in November, we decided on 450cc saline implants under the muscle. Today, I told Dr.Hedden I wanted to be a full DD a year from now and that I wanted him to try 500cc’s and he said he would do it! And just like that, I woke up with 500cc saline implants and I couldn’t be happier that I went up the extra 50cc’s before surgery. My mom is my caregiver, so she got me after surgery and filled my medications for me. I was able to eat and drink water when I got back to my hotel room. And I DID NOT PUKE! I have heard that a lot of people get sick after surgery, but I have been fine and dandy. I ate some chicken salad, saltine crackers, peanut butter crackers, 2 pieces of chicken Florentine pizza, and I’ve had a few butter cookies! I have also drank A LOT of water today, along with some sprite. I’ve been drinking Life Wtr because it has electrolytes which is what you need after undergoing surgery! Not too much pain. My boobs do not hurt, it is mostly my upper back. It just feels like I had a hard work out or I’ve been carrying a big backpack for too long. I moved from my bed to use the bathroom and walks up and down the hall to help my blood flow. I’ve been taking my pain medication on the dot, which I think has really helped me a lot. Like I said, it’s not my boobs that hurt - it’s just my back. So when my back started bugging me while laying in bed, I moved to the chair in my hotel room and sat straight up. It ended up relieving ALL of my back pain and it knocked me out for a hour nap. So I definitely recommend that. I have my bed all set up with pillows surrounding me so I can sleep on my back, and I will update you all tomorrow on how I’m feeling and how I slept! I will also post some pics tomorrow!Updated on 14 Dec 2017:Went to the office this morning so Dr.Hedden could look at everything and give me some tips before I see him again in 3 weeks. Overall, I feel great today! I got up, took a shower, and even did my hair and make up! My back doesn’t hurt this morning, I just feel pressure on my chest but no pain. Slept through the night last night too! I put comfy pillows all around me so I would stay on my back! So far so good guys, about to start on my antibiotics!Updated on 6 Jan 2018:Had my first check up yesterday, and Dr.Hedden says everything is great! I can wear normal bras during the day now. So I immediately went shopping after my appointment. I found that I’m somewhere between a 36DD-36DDD - which is very exciting. I look normal in clothes, and they have already dropped a lot and the scars are almost not even there and I’m so happy about that!"
"Breast Augmentation - Today, I received my breast augmentation! Yay! I got to the clinic at 6:15, signed all my paperwork, did my pre-op, Dr.Hedden and his medical team got me all prepped and marked me up. They were the nicest people who made me feel so comfortable! We discussed my sizing before I went into the operating room. During my first consultation in November, we decided on 450cc saline implants under the muscle. Today, I told Dr.Hedden I wanted to be a full DD a year from now and that I wanted him to try 500cc’s and he said he would do it! And just like that, I woke up with 500cc saline implants and I couldn’t be happier that I went up the extra 50cc’s before surgery. My mom is my caregiver, so she got me after surgery and filled my medications for me. I was able to eat and drink water when I got back to my hotel room. And I DID NOT PUKE! I have heard that a lot of people get sick after surgery, but I have been fine and dandy. I ate some chicken salad, saltine crackers, peanut butter crackers, 2 pieces of chicken Florentine pizza, and I’ve had a few butter cookies! I have also drank A LOT of water today, along with some sprite. I’ve been drinking Life Wtr because it has electrolytes which is what you need after undergoing surgery! Not too much pain. My boobs do not hurt, it is mostly my upper back. It just feels like I had a hard work out or I’ve been carrying a big backpack for too long. I moved from my bed to use the bathroom and walks up and down the hall to help my blood flow. I’ve been taking my pain medication on the dot, which I think has really helped me a lot. Like I said, it’s not my boobs that hurt - it’s just my back. So when my back started bugging me while laying in bed, I moved to the chair in my hotel room and sat straight up. It ended up relieving ALL of my back pain and it knocked me out for a hour nap. So I definitely recommend that. I have my bed all set up with pillows surrounding me so I can sleep on my back, and I will update you all tomorrow on how I’m feeling and how I slept! I will also post some pics tomorrow!"
"Highly recommended - I had tummy tuck and liposuction months ago with dr hedden befor I had the surgery I was very scared but after first consulting with him he explained every thing to me and made me feel very comfortable he took the time to answer all my questions He was very calm and explained the whole procedure to me One thing I want to recommend to everybody is to do the Exparel shot it makes you not have any pain at allHis a great surgeon and I will go back to him if I need to"
"I am 20 years old, 5'10", weigh 145 lbs. and have had my breast implants for a week and a half. I was a very small "A" before surgery and am now a full C. I must start off by saying Dr. Hedden did an excellent job! When you meet him and see his work you'll know why.
I researched breast augmentation for about 2 years and finally saved money to go ahead. My boyfriend's mother had her first surgery performed by Dr. Hedden about 9 months ago. I went to her surgery with her, that's when I first met Dr. Hedden. I told him I'd be a "future patient," not realizing I'd be a patient only 9 months later! My boyfriend's mother had a second procedure performed by Dr. Hedden 5 months ago and by then I'd decided I would definitely use Dr. Hedden because of the beautiful work he did on her.
I scheduled my consultation just to ask Dr. Hedden a few questions and before even consulting with him I scheduled my surgery! I knew he was the doctor for me! When I met with him I felt VERY comfortable with him and his staff. He has a beautiful office and everyone there makes you feel very welcome.
When I met with Dr. Hedden he took a look at me and told me I have what is called "constrictive breasts," which means they never developed. Dr. Hedden asked me what size I'd like to go to and I told him I thought a full C but I wanted his opinion. He told me a full C would be good for me and it'd probably take approx. 400-450 cc's to get me there. I got to try on the implant sizers and really liked the 400 cc range.
Surgery Day! I woke up not really nervous (because I've had surgeries before and I really trusted Dr. Hedden), but I was anxious to get it over with. Finally I would no longer be flat-chested! The nurse took before pictures and gave me my IV. The anesthesiologist came in and put some medicine in my IV, which totally relaxed me.
After I was walked to the operating room, I laid on the operating table and was hooked up to several monitors. The last thing I remember is my head feeling really heavy and I was out!
The next thing I remember was waking up in recovery. I stayed until I felt all right and she put my clothes on along with a sports bra that I am to wear for 2 weeks. I was then wheeled to the car. When I got home, I wasn't in that much pain, just really sore. It was hard to take deep breaths but after taking the muscle relaxer it was a little easier. It just felt like something heavy was compressing my chest. I took a shower by myself and washed my hair by myself the very next day. Although the first couple of days I had to have someone help me get out of the recliner, open pill bottles, get in and out of bed, etc.
I had my surgery on a Wednesday and went back to work the following Monday. As far as being painful, I only took pain med's the day of surgery and the day after. Since then I haven't even taken Tylenol or anything for pain. After returning home from work the first couple of days after surgery I would take a muscle relaxer before going to bed.
I have now had my implants for 10 days and I am doing great! A lot of the swelling has gone down and my new boobies look good! I am so happy that I chose to have the surgery and that I used Dr. Hedden. If I should have to have any type of surgery in the future which Dr. Hedden performs, I'll definitely use his practice. I feel very confident now with my new look. Thanks Dr. Hedden!"
