"My results are amazing! - I had a breast augmentation in May 2023 and choosing Hedden plastic surgery was the BEST choice! Dr. Gunn was so patient and thorough for a first time patient. All of the staff were helpful and so sweet! My results are amazing!!"
"Beyond happy with the care I received and the results - Dr. Hedden exceeded all expectations. I am beyond happy with the care I received and the results! Pre op, he listened to all of my concerns. Surgery day went as smoothly as possible. The entire staff were a dream to work with. I had a breast augmentation with a life. My recovery was quick and a breeze. Would highly recommend Dr. Hedden!"
"I had nothing but a great experience! - I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Hedden 05/07/24. From the virtual consult (I’m an out of state pt) forward I had nothing but a great experience! Their out of town coordinator, Heather, is such a pleasure and does her job very well! I had consults at other practices but no one made me feel as if they were confident in their ability to give me what I wanted except for Dr. Hedden. I’m 4 weeks post op and only wish I had done this sooner!! As a 37yr old mom of 3, my breast volume had decreased. Dr. Hedden has given me a great deal of confidence in my body. I’m able to actually fill out to top part of a bra now! He answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and never made me feel like I was just another procedure under his belt.In addition, the anesthesiologist was awesome, the nurses, financial dept, out of town coordinator…every single person I encountered at Hedden & Gunn were so wonderful! I will & have recommended Dr. Hedden to several ladies!"
"2 days Post Breast Augmentation - I'm on day 2 of recovery from my breast augmentation. It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. The only parts that suck are feeling like potato( you literally can't do anything), and that the muscle relaxers make you super sleepy. Stopped taking the pain meds i was prescribed and switched to Tylenol because I didn't like the way Norcos made me feel. My chest feels sore and tight and still very swollen. But this is all to be expected. Dr. Hedden at Hedden and Gunn plastic surgery center was amazing. All of the staff did a great job with me. It was an all around amazing experience. I started out at large A/small B and asked to be a D. He did 450cc on each side. Smooth, round, high profile silicone. More updates to come! *they look shiny because I've been applying vitamin E to try to prevent stretch marks *Updated on 25 Apr 2024:Dropping more and more everyday. Liking the results so far. Still a little sore and swollen. Feeling to the nerves becomes more painful by the day and it’s causing a bit of discomfort but nothing major. Usually subsides by week 3.

"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."
"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!! "

"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"
"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!"
"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!"
"Great breast augmentation results - so pleased with my services - I drove 2 hours to see and be treated by Dr. Hedden due to recommendations. I was so pleased with my services and would recommend to anyone. The staff was very helpful and professional. I will be back for any further needs"
"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."
"In awe of how real my results look and how confident I am now - I had the best experience with doctor Hedden. Beginning with my consultation, Dr. Hedden proved that I can be confident in his abilities and results. My breast augmentation was in July of 2022 and I have seen amazing results since then. I never feel as if my body looks fake or plastic at all. I am in awe of how real my results look and how confident I am now since the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hedden for a breast augmentation."
"Amazing staff - I felt completely comfortable - I highly recommend Hedden Plastic Surgery for any of your plastic surgery needs. Dr. Hennen and his staff are amazing! I felt completely comfortable before, during and after the surgery for removing my breast implants.J Campbell"
"Office review - made me feel so comfortable and answered so many questions - Dr Hedden is incredible! His staff members was so helpful and helped me with my busy schedule.

I finally had a consult and procedure and am EXTREMELY pleased! I loved Dr Hedden and his staff! Very professional and helpful! His out of state coordinator Heather is amazing!"
"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"
"Implants at 40 after two babies. 100% worth it. 5'4, 115 lbs, 375 cc under the muscle - 100% worth it!!I was petrified to have surgery and be put to sleep!! Dr. Hedden and his staff was amazing!! So far my results have been exactly what I would have hoped for. I could not have had a better in office experience! I researched for a couple years about having a breast augmentation and am so glad I decided to travel to see Dr. Hedden!Updated on 13 Feb 2022:Two weeks post op. Side by side before and after. So happy with the difference. I didn’t want a lift so the dr suggested at least 350 to correct the sagging. Glad I went with 375. It Definitely helped."

"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 !

"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."
"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!"
"I'm more than satisfied with my new girls! - Dr. Hedden did my breast augmentation on April 8th. I'm more than satisfied with my new girls! His office has been nothing but great with me. I went for a consultation back in 2019 & ended up changing my mind and not going through it. Came back in January of 2021 & finally went through with it. After doctor Hedden shared a story from his experience with his own wife. I would definitely recommend using him, and he will definitely do any other surgeries if I decide to have any more in the future."
"Dr. Hedden and his team were amazing - Highly satisfied with my experience at Hedden & Gunn Plasic Surgery! Dr. Hedden and his team were amazing. I had breast augmentation July 7, 2020. Being only 20 years old, before going to the consultation I was extremely nervous. Once I was met with the friendly staff and Dr. Hedden I was very comfortable and even more confident in my decision to get the surgery. I am very pleased with my results. If you are considering having cosmetic surgery I recommend visiting Hedde & Gunn Plastic Surgery."
"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. "

"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 :)"
"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!"

"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"
"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."
"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"
"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."
"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!"
"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"
"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!!"
"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 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???Updated on 6 Jul 2019:I had an amazing experience with Dr. Hedden. 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"

"Best Breast Doc in the World - Dr. Hedden performed my cousin's breast augmentation approximately 10 years ago and I thought she had the most beautiful breast in the world until Dr. Hedden performed my breast augmentation October 2018. Now I have the most beautiful breast in the world. His staff is fabulous and his office is gorgeous. I would recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone and everyone. The tv docs in California have nothing on Dr. Hedden."
"Amazing Experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff - Great experience with Dr. Hedden and his staff. I had breast augmentation June 2018 and my results are great. No complications. My only regret is that I wish I would’ve contacted them sooner for this surgery!"
"Dr. Hedden is a true artist - I researched breast augmentation and surgeons for almost a year leading up to my procedure and I could not have made a better decision with Dr. Hedden. He and his staff have been amazing since day 1 of my journey and I could not be happier with my results."
"Dr. Hedden and his staff were great. Everything went smoothly and perfect just as expected I am extremely pleased with my results and would 10/10 recommend Hedden plastic surgery to anyone looking to get breast implants."
"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!"
"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!!"
"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:"

"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 26, 5’1 120 lbs and apparently I’m a 34C at VS... but I really feel and look like a A... T.T (I’ve had 3 kids, youngest being 5m) I’m hoping I don’t get boob greed so I will probably go a bit more up in Cc’s.... idk... anyone familiar with boob greed?? 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??"
"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. :)"
"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!"
"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!"

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!"
"Great Results on Breast Augmentation - Dr. Hedden is the best surgeon. I had 700cc Saline breast implants and had amazing results. He gives great recommendations and really cares about his patient's health and concerns. I strongly recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone considering any plastic surgery procedures."
"Choosing Dr. Hedden for any procedure is a very wise decision! - Dr Hedden is a compassionate and caring doctor. He performed breast augmentation on me several years ago and implant exchange in 2015. His staff is amazing and his work is superb!!! Choosing Dr Hedden for any procedure is a very wise decision!"
"25 Years Old No Kids. 5'4" 115 Pounds. - 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!"
"31 Year Old, Childless and Breastless - This initial review will be short until I have more time to fully describe the GREAT experience and breast augmentation that I received at Hedden Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. Prior to deciding to undergo a breast augmentation, my weight settled at 135 lbs on my 5'7" frame and my poor breasts were deflated. My right breast was in Stage I ptosis and I knew that I wanted to do something about them. My Iphone made my breast look really saggy but when Dr. Hedden saw me on July 11th, he told me that I did NOT need a lift and would be fine with a breast augmentation. I settled on 450 cc in my right breast and 485 cc in my left breast. Recovery was harder than I expected. My cousin stayed with me for a week but the first 4 days were intense and I do not have any memory of day #3. However, 12 days later I feel great. My girls are dropping at different rates but I expected that (they've always had their own personality and swag) but ultimately, I am VERY pleased. I will upload pics later."
"Dr William Hedden in Alabama the Choosen One - I was doing my searches on breast augmentation surgery at least for a year.I am expected to have Saline Mentor breast implants via transaxillary insicion, dual plane, at least 800cc ,slightly overfilled. But this is my expectations and I hope I can get what I want.That will be determine by Dr Hedden on my consultation date 5/9/2017 .I really cannot believe that it's going to happened in 11days! I have a mixed feelings-excited and very nervous. I guess this is normal!?Updated on 9 May 2017:I was very exited and pleased to meet Dr. Hedden in person. He had spend good 15-20 minutes with me and my fiancee answering all my options and concerns.He told he would me any size I want, any way I would like it ( I was going to ask if he can do by incision in armpit). Awesome, right ?! But today Dr Hedden told that my left breast looks slightly tubular.OMG, really?! That is mean armpit incision would not provide proper implant position to correct. The way to do it will be below breast. Still, Dr Hedden was sweet enough to tell us that I can still think it over until tomorrow and he will do what I want. . I am definitely want 800cc. HP.Ladies! Please do not forget get warranty on you implants! You will have ID card after surgery and you have to call ( in my case its Mentor) them during 30 days after surgery.

"Breast Augmentation After Breast Reduction - He is simply awesome. I was pretty apprehensive about letting another PS touch me because the PA that did my breast reduction really did a [RS bleep] poor job. However I'm SO satisfied with Dr. Heddens work with correcting my breast. He treated my scars and gave me my projection back. I will forever be grateful of him!! His staff was awesome and I absolutely loved his anesthesiologist-- she was very kind. My whole experience was great. My husband had questions after hours and the nurse on called called him back at 2am in the morning. I am thinking about getting a BBL and I might let Dr. H perform the procedure for me instead of going to Miami. I just feel like Dr. Hedden is a great PS and your just a number to him. Thanks to the guy I'm back in the mirror admiring my body. I refer him to all of you with your PS needs.Thanks Doc!!!!"
"My experience was the best I could have ever hoped for!! - First off Dr. Hedden and his staff where so informative and helpful from day one! I was scheduled to have my consultation the day before my surgery bc I live in Tennessee but I missed it due to complications with my rental car. So I done my consult and surgery in the same day. Dr. hedden and his staff was so patient with me and did not rush me at all!! My surgery went awesome and I'm more then happy with my results. I had a breast augmentation which I was a small A before and I went with 400cc, I weight approximately 140, and am 5'4". I originally wanted to do TUBA incision but Dr. Hedden recommended that I do underneath the breast for a better result. I'm so glad I listened to him! I have done so much research for years and I couldn't be happier that I went with dr. Hedden. O! And also he came in on his normal day off to do my surgery bc I had rather had him. I'm only 2 days post op and am very happy! He knows his sh**!! "
"Best Experience! - I am 4 days post op breast augmentation. I was very nervous to undergo this procedure as I have never done anything like this before. I did a lot of research and read reviews for hours and had read that the wait times were long. I came from out of state and for each appointment I had, I was in and out within 45 minutes. The staff was very friendly and explained everything to me in detail. I am very pleased with my results (although I have not seen the final results due to swelling) I will definitely go back in the future. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience."
"Top Notch Experience - Dr. Hedden performed my breast augmentation in December and I could not be any happier with my AMAZING results! Not only did he do a wonderful job on the surgery, Dr. Hedden also did an excellent job of explaining to me in detail everything I needed to know about the procedure and the recovery process so that I was prepared for everything. On top of everything, the Hedden Plastic Surgery facility is top-of-the-line and Dr. Hedden's staff are always so helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend Dr. Hedden to others. Thank you so much!"
"33 Years Old, No Kids, I Have Breasts Again! - I grew large breasts when young then lost weight and lost my breasts too. Having went through all of my 20's with just wispy ghosts of boobs, I decided before I was 35 to get breast implants. I've always loved augmented breasts and that's what I wanted! Dr. Hedden wants what YOU want. After hearing surgeon after surgeon recommend 325-350cc, Dr. Hedden listened to what I wanted and I chose a 420cc implant, silicone, smooths under the muscle with an underboob incision. I could not be happier with the results!I have a full, round profile with lots of bounce, my clothes fit better, I had an INSTANT jump in confidence. I am an exotic dancer so knowing I had something nice to look at made me so much happier than the last ten years. I never realized how much this would affect me, I've always been very confident despite not having my original chest pillows but now, I feel I can talk to anyone or wear anything I want, I no longer have to NOT care because there's nothing there to care about. I can bend over without holding my chest because it was unflattering. I'd never had any kids so having a deflated chest felt like a cruel punishment, at least other women had a child to "blame". All I had were breasts desperately trying to get to the floor.Even if I woke up tomorrow and it was all a dream, I'd do it over again. The small discomfort I felt over healing was nothing compared to the inadequacy I felt of myself before."
"32 Yo, Fit Mom, Minimal Breast Tissue, Saline 350 - Birmingham, AL - I am a 32yo mom of 3. I am very fit and have always had an athletic figure. I was a 32b before having kids. After breastfeeding for years, I am now a very deflated 32aa. I also have mild tuberous breasts. After much research and prayer, I've decided to get saline breast implants in the 325-350 range."
"Best decision of my life - Birmingham, AL - Dr. Hedden and his staff are wonderful. It was such an amazing experience, one of the best decisions of my life. I had a breast augmentation done while my husband was deployed, so I was alone and extremely nervous but as soon as I came in for my consultation, they all made me feel so comfortable and all my nerves were gone. I was nothing but excited. Dr. Hedden was very professional and very helpful when I was trying to choose what type and size implant I wanted. I went from a small B cup to DD and I couldn't be happier. The day of surgery I was so nervous but even more excited. They made me feel so comfortable and everyone was so nice. I kind of want to go back and do it again! I was always SO extremely self conscious about my boob size and now I feel so confident and great about them. Not to mention, my husband LOVES them."
"Love my 700ccs Breast Implants - Birmingham, AL - So my expected procedure date is a little over a month away. I am tired at work because I'm staying up all night stalking the internet for BA pictures. I'm from NY but plan to travel to Birmingham, AL to have my BA performed by Dr. Hedden. I've done my research on him and he has overall positive reviews. I also had an email consultation with him, and from the email he seemed pleasant. He did say that I have slight drooping and thus recommended a biplanar BA of at least 350 Cc which is fine because I am a B cup and would like to be at least a D. His office offers a 3day out of town package with the first day pre op, second day surgery, and third day post op. I plan on taking off for a week. My supervisor said she's not sure if I'll get off but I've made up my mind. I've wanted BA since I was 18 and at this point I'm so anxious to do it that its more important than my job. Hell, I'm 4 classes from my masters. So, if they fire me I'll find something else. I know, I'm rambling. Anyways, I need this surgery like yesterday. I hope there aren't any complications and it goes well. Bye for now....#ImpatientlyWaiting"
"Boobs Finally! - Birmingham, AL - I am thrilled with the results of my breast augmentation performed by Dr. Hedden. I wish I would have had the procedure performed 20 years ago. Dr. Hedden helped me make the right decision for my body and I am so glad he did (I thought I wanted a smaller implant, but it would be been too small!). I recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. If you are not happy with your body, change it, life is too short to be unhappy!!"
"Mentor- Smooth, Round, High Profile, Saline 550cc's - Birmingham, AL - Like most of you, I have been researching breast augmentations for a couple of years now. I finally decided to join RS about 3 weeks ago. I have just now found the courage to post. I am 26 years old. I have 3 children. 5'4"- 170 pounds. With a recent 30 pound weight gain. I have desired larger breasts for a couple of years now. Just so tired of not feeling like a woman. With my weight gain, I gained everywhere but my breasts. So I, now more than ever, want larger breasts so I will look more evenly proportioned. I have chosen Dr. Hedden to complete my breast augmentation. I submitted for a virtual consultation and received an email back within 24 hours stating that implants alone should achieve my desired results. I took a few photos earlier for my pre-op look. Never noticed how off my nipples were. Always thought they were symmetrical. Obviously not. Not that I can see anyway.. :/ Anyway, I completed by labs this morning for surgery. Surgery is less than 2 weeks away now.. I can hardly contain my excitement!! I am sure everyone around is so tired of hearing about boobs 24/7 lol- Now if only I could choose a size. I know I definitely want saline, submuscular. I'm leaning more towards TUBA incision. I am a 36B(barely) now & would like to be a DD post BA. Just not sure of the cc's. 11 days to go. The countdown is on!! :) :) :)"
"30 Yrs, 3 Breastfead Kids. Birmingham, AL - Wanted big beautiful breasts! Didn't expect too much bc I didn't have much breast tissue. I asked for 650 cc..He always replied to my concerns when I emailed him.I felt very comfortable with him and I felt I could trust him to achieve my wishes in the safest way. He was able to fill 550, and I'm more than pleased! He is an amazing surgeon....I absolutely LOVE THIS MAN!!I can't wait to see their transgormating over the next few months. Of you're looking for a plastic surgeon, look to him!!Updated on 18 Feb 2016:Wanted to look and feel like a woman,instead of a little boy. After being prego,and nursing for the last 7 years my body was looking a little sad.especially my chest. Before kids I wore a 34 b. I never even thought about getting breast implants. After my last baby stopped nursing is when I was completely disgusted at my chest.all that was there was maybe a couple of punches of loose, thin skin. I became obsessed with boobs ...finding the ones I wanted to get. I showed my doc. Some wish pics and he made me feel positive and excited when he said I'd be able to have the size I wanted.....now, I really want an upgrade......I'm thinking all the way 800cc..Eeik/ I love big boobies????"
"34 Yr Old Mom of 3. 5'4" 137 lbs 425 cc saline subpectoral biplanar - Birmingham, AL - I've wanted to get breast augmentation as long as I can remember. I've been self conscious of my small boobs forever. I loved how big they got while I was breast feeding my kiddos but we all know that doesn't last long. Not only did my boobs shrink but I feel that they became way too droopy. I only own 2 bras that don't have some sort of push up, but If I leave the house I am usually wearing one of my bombshell bras from Victoria's Secret. After my baby started K this year my hubby and I started researching Drs and with a solid recommendation from a friend we decided on Dr Hedden in Birmingham. I scheduled my consultation and after meeting him I felt a lot more at ease with my decision. It was definitely fun trying on all the sizers. And I narrowed it down to somewhere between 400-450 ccs I don't want to be too big but I definitely don't want to come out regretting going to small. And trying to decide between saline and silicone is so tough. I really would like silicone, because they feel so real. But I don't know if I would be able to make myself get an MRI every 2 years to check for a silent rupture. So many decisions!! But very exciting ones :) Also dr Hedden suggested that I get a biplanar augmentation due to my droopiness. He said it wasn't bad enough to require an actual lift. I have stalked this site for so long and feel that I have been helped by so many reviews I wanted to put my experience out there. And I think this will be a great way to track my progress!"
"26 Yrs Old, 1 Child, Natrelle Style 20, High Profile, Silicone, 450ccs Left, 475 Ccs Right - Birmingham, AL - I just had mto bready augmentatuon done 10/30/15. I decided on silicone 450ccs and he recommended adding an extra 25ccs to the right breast bc I didn't like how much smaller it was compared to the left breast. They are moderate profile and under the muscle, he made that decision based on my body style and shape. The first 2 days were pretty rough but I feel alright now other than the tightness and heavy feeling. I had some pretty bad bruising and since I was an out of state patient I sent my PS pictures and he said it was normal, I usually bruise easily anyway. I know it will take weeks till months for them to drop but I find myself worrying a lot that they never will. I wonder if I'm using my arms to much, I went back to work today. I'm not lifting anything over 10 lbs but I do use my arms a lot and probably shouldn't be doing as much as I am but it's not painful to reach above my head, shower, wash my hair, do laundry etc. I'm also worried that I should have gone a little bigger, I can't wait for the weeks and months to come to see what the end result is. PS told me the right breast would sit higher longer than the left because of the extra 25ccs but the left one actually looks like its higher. I'm very happy that I still have sensation in both nipples and I hope this doesn't change but I have a good but of numbness under and on the sides.Updated on 6 Nov 2015:Today is one week since my breast augmentation. I've had a good bit of pain (mostly the left breast), it feels like it's just the muscles so I took the Valium I was prescribed. My sternum hurts so bad it feels like it's broken, the Valium helped and once I got home from work I placed ice packs on them. I'm not able to hold my arms down by my side like I usually would bc they're poking out the sides and under my arms...this causes a lot of discomfort between my shoulder blades in my back. I'm off work the next 2 days so I'll be taking it easy.Updated on 7 Nov 2015:Today has been much better than yesterday =) When I woke up this morning I took two Motrin with breakfast and haven't had to take a pain killer yet and its almost 6pm. I still have a good bit of discomfort due to swelling and implants being very high, also my breast bone still feels very sore. I have my fingers crossed for another good day tomorrow and an even better one Monday since I'll be at work."
"23y/o, 5'2" 154lbs Tuberous Breast Correction 475cc Allergen Natrelle Style 20 - Birmingham, AL - I've been going back and forth about posting my experience on here, but I decided to go ahead and post since I love reading everyone else's reviews and I don't see many women with my "stats" on here! I'm currently in graduate school, 23 years old, 5'2", 157lbs (currently dieting and exercising responsibly before the surgery) and I have ALWAYS HATED my breasts. I've finally bitten the bullet and realized this is something that I need to do for my own self esteem. I've gotten tired of crying when looking at my bare breasts in the mirror, feeling like push up bras are a daily requirement, and shying away from anyone seeing me in a bathing suit. According to my PS, I have mild tuberous breast mixed with ptosis. I have had my consultation, pre op appointment, and have paid for my breast augmentation with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham, AL. My surgery date is 11/5 (a little less than a month away) and I can hardly wait! I'm currently a 36 A and am hoping to go to a FULL C. During my consultation my PS and I agreed on 400cc but I'm thinking that I want 500cc because my shoulders are broad and I want a "noticeable" change in breast size. I will be having a biplanar/dual plane procedure to help correct the ptosis without a lift with an inframmary incision under my breast. I've uploaded some pics to show where I am currently!"
"Dr Hedden Breast Augmentation - Birmingham, AL - I am in Tennessee and a friend i went to school with told me about Dr Hedden in Birmingham Al. I waited 3 years to finally get the surgery and I traveled to Alabama. Hedden plastic Surgery was awesome. they made me feel comfortable and like family. I was able to get a discount on my hotel stay and despite me having surgery on my birthday i enjoyed myself. I highly recommend Dr Hedden, not only did he do a wonderful job he was able to identify that one of my breast was lower than the other something i didn't even see. I was able to do my appointments via Skype because I'm out of state but overall its been great a wonderful experience."
"31 Years Old, 2 Kids, 1 Breast Fed, Wanting my Boobies Back - Birmingham, AL - I've wanted breast implants since my first child was born. My prekids boobs were so nice:( but after breast feeding my second child that really did it. And sadly he is now 6years old and I'm just now having it done. I want big nice round [RS bleep] star looking boobs. I've researched and researched. I've saw some amazing work and some that terrifies me. After looking very seriously for a year I've decided on Dr. Hedden at Hedden Plastic surgery in Alabama. I'm thinking I wanna go 600cc bein I'm no petite woman. I'm getting saline. Hoping for round high profile but my coordinator said that would be determined by measurements. Consultation is March 10 and surgery next day. I'm ssoooooooooo excited!!!"
"Ever Since a 21 Hr Birth my Labia Have Left Me Feeling Very Insecure - Birmingham, AL - My first child took many hours to get out of me. Afterwards my vajayjay never looked quite the same. I felt very insecure about it. I also developed a hemorrhoid which makes me even further insecure. After my second child, which took 10 hours, my vajayjay and hemorrhoid looked even worse. My first husband (and children's father) would withhold sex from me and would tell me it was because I was ugly and disgusting. I also lost boobage and he would tell me that I was so unsexy. Even though, I lost boobage, they really didn't look that bad. I was still a perky 34B. I was 110 pounds after both kids, I had no stretch marks or anything.... We divorced within a year after the birth of my second child. I have wanted a labiaplasty for years not just because of my first husband's hateful and cruel words but because of my own insecurities And because of the pain I would have from exercise, riding bicycles, sex, clothes, etc., etc. (my kids are now teenagers). I remarried a little over two years ago to a wonderful man who made me feel good about myself and made me feel normal and who did not notice anything at all wrong with me. However, I still had my major insecurities in those areas. So, I recently had labiaplasty done and am undecided about the outcome of it. I think it looks great except for one spot. I am hoping I still have a little swelling but I think it is actually almost healed. Most of my stitches have already come out. It's been itching like crazy for the past couple of days. Clothes are an irritant and it's been hard finding something to wear to work that doesn't look frumpy because all I really want to wear are sweats!I have yet to get the hemorrhoid taken care of and didn't even bring it up with my surgeon but am hoping that at my next gynecologist visit I can bring it up to her and maybe get a procedure covered by insurance. I am really ready to feel sexy again! (Of course, I have gained some weight over the years and I need to drop about 20 lbs to get back into good shape again lol) I am determined to do that after I get my procedures done:)Labiaplasty and hemorrhoids, in my opinion, is one of the hardest things for women to talk about with anyone. It's even embarrassing to talk about it with a doctor and his staff. Absolutely no one knows that I have had this done except me, my doctor and his staff. My husband doesn't even know about the labiaplasty and he was the one with me to bring me home and take care of me after surgery... So this is my only outlet. I also had a breast augmentation done on the same day (under a different review.) My breasts look amazing and are fast healing as well:) I basically told my husband that he keeps his hands off of me for at least six weeks and that he will not even get a peek of my boobies because they have to go through some changes, etc. and he is totally respecting my privacy over it. Which, in turn, gives me my privacy regarding my vajayjay! I have no idea how I'll handle telling him about a hemorrhoid removal if/when I have it but I'll figure something out!"
"Breast implants - I have wanted breast implants since I was very young. But they are actually smaller now and less pretty since I had my first baby. After I stopped breastfeeding , every ounce of breast tissue I had, completely dissolved. I would definitely feel more confident in my clothes and bathing suites if I had breasts to even out my body. I have a smaller waist but i have a bigger butt and it makes my body look very disproportional. I am a small A cup now. I have done my research and i know i want my doctor to be dr. Hedden in Birmingham and i want to do 500cc saline , under the muscle with the TUBA incision. The procedure is $3000. Wish me luck!"
"Post Baby and Needed my Chest Back - Birmingham, AL - I had my breast Augmentation with Dr. Hedden shortly after having my daughter. While pregnant, I finally knew what it was like to have big breasts and after breast feeding they looked like sad puppies. I scheduled my consult after doing my research and his staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. Had my surgery and I am still please with my results... 6 years plus another child later! I do plan on having them re-done after my husband and I are finished having children and I will be going back to Dr. Hedden."
"32 Single Mom, Lost 100+ Pounds and Ready to Find Me Again !! - Birmingham, AL - I'm exactly one month away from getting my breast implants (silicone) and a full tummy tuck. After having a 10+ lb kid and losing a 100 pounds I'm ready for my body to get back to some kind of normal. I'm looking to get 550 cc under muscle. I have a curve to my back due to a car wreck and breaking my back in three places and my hips protrude out a little bit. I'm super nervous but so ready for my outsides to match my insides. I feel like I'm living in a foreign body."
"Dr. Hedden Was Wonderful I Wouldn't Change a Thing, TUBA is the Way to Go! - Birmingham, AL - I came from out of town to have my breast augmentation. I had my initial consult and then I scheduled my surgery 3 weeks later so I could decide on a size. I thought I had my decision made and right before surgery I went 50cc higher. I was so glad I did. Dr. Hedden didn't try to pursuade me one way or the other. He just told me I needed to get what I felt comfortable with. The Tuba procedure was seemless. I hardly had any discomfort 3-5 days post op. The best part was no scars! Penny and all the girls at his office are wonderful and sweet. I would recommend Dr. Hedden and his team hands down!I did The Tuba Procedure: 425 cc Saline rt and 400 cc Saline on the lft, went under full muscle. I am 4"10 and weigh 105 lbs. This picture was taken 1 week post op."
"Upcoming Breast Augmentation!!!! Finally.... - Birmingham, AL - well.....i am almost 2 months post op (on the 10th) and i absolutely love my results! they look and feel completely natural! dr. hedden is amazing and i will only use him for any of my other surgeries that i decide to get. so.....i got 500cc saline high profile implants. I will say that i probably could have gotten larger......my breast look amazing and definitely fit my frame though. who knows, after a few years i may go back and get around 700cc as an "upgrade". i am measuring a 34DD or a 32DDD. in clothes, my boobs look big!! but out of clothes they dont have that "fake" look that i thought they would have, which is good and bad. its good because my breast look natural but it could be bad cause something i feel like they are small than what i wanted...but in clothes they look great!the left side is still riding a little bit higher than the right side, but other than that they are healing great and definitely squishy! my incision site (belly buttton) looks amazing also.... i do still feel track marks across my abs but i have been slacking on massaging my belly so thats definitely my fault. any ladies debating between what cc size to get, i would definitely say pick the LARGER number and then ADD about 50-75cc extra to it!! some days, i feel like my boobs look small and then others i feel like they are huge! but i will let you all decide from the pictures i post!"
"Dr. Hedden and Staff Were Great! - Birmingham, AL - I had a Breast Augmentation with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham, AL. I felt everything went better than expected and I'm very happy with my results. Dr. Hedden took the time to answer all of my questions at my consult; as well as my husbands. He was very professional, as well as friendly and laid back. His staff was also very friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions. My wait times at my consultation/Pre OP, and my Post OP visits were not long at all. However, there was quite a wait on the day of my surgery, but I felt this was understandable considering Dr. Hedden had other surgeries that day. I feel like a good PS takes his time on each patient, and sometimes that makes other surgeries get pushed back. I was fine with this because I knew that he would also take that time when it came to my surgery.Overall, I am truly happy that I chose Dr. Hedden to do my surgery, and I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!!"
"650cc Implants - Birmingham, AL - Searched high and low for the right doctor to perform my breast implants. Took ton of searching but came across Dr Hedden using real self. 31 with 3 children all were breast fed which takes a toll on the body. Finally decided time to do something for myself. The process was really smooth and easy. Emailed Dr Hedden my pics, he replied within couple of days with his recommendation. From then on I dealt mainly with the out of town patient coordinator Heather. Everyone I encountered on Staff was extremely helpful and kind. Very professional office no complaints. I just had my implants on 9/26 so I don't know the outcome just yet but looks great so far. I have 650cc implants on both sides using saline and received the breast crease incision. Pain is minimal, I do need help doing certain things its difficult using your Arms but I would rate pain a 1 on scale of 1 to 10 ,1 being lowest. I stay on top of my pain meds which I'm sure is helping. Haven't experienced any nausea. Surgery day I spent sleep only woke to eat and walk a little too rest room. Pretty much been same and I'm 2 days post op and I'm just relaxing and sleeping day away. Meds make you so drowsy. I haven't iced my breast yet. I need to read my directions on of it is mandatory or just suggested. Dr hedden was very friendly, helpful made sure I was comfortable and wanted to make sure I was pleased and left with what I wanted. So far so good I will keep you guys updated on my progress, of course they have that typical just implanted look. High and smashed into my chest. Lol but they look even and I believe once they began to drop will be exactly what I wanted. I still can't believe I went for 650cc sound so big but hey go big or go home right? Lol fyi I'm 5"8 200 lbs so my frame is def thick enough to carry this size implant. I don't look like a stick figure with volley balls on Her chest.LolUpdated on 30 Sep 2013:Updated on 30 Sep 2013:Updated on 2 Oct 2013:Still in love!!! Minimal pain wouldn't even call pain just slight discomfort at times. None of the mornin or night booby or even any of the bad things I've heard from others. Only take ibuprofen only once or twice a day but just a generic over the counter no need for the stronger med from my doctor at the moment. Having a wonderful experience so far. Haven't seen my incision though ,still under the strip. Been wearing two cheap Hanes sports bra in picture. Didn't want to invest in good one until knew sizing. Now I want a better one, strong support, prettier, etc. They look good to me but my implants still riding high of course. I do see slight difference right is riding higher in my chest bit both breast still seem to sit evenly. Not sure if explaining this right but I'll attach pics. Either way only few days post op and i'm experiencing nothing out of the norm. Going be patient and watch this dropping processDoc said no massaging or manipulating breast until they tell me to. Follow appt in about week and a half pray they see the exact progress they should. Anyway, I'll post again maybe at 2 weeks post op unless any new worthy events arise. Oh is icing mandatory or as need?I have only done this once so far. I don't have the need pain wise but if it serves another purpose maybe I should be doing it.Updated on 10 Oct 2013:Healing and dropping just fine, no complaints. Will post updated pics this week.incision pic attached he did an excellent job overall in love with results even down to the incisionUpdated on 10 Oct 2013:Updated on 10 Oct 2013:Something wrong with real self or my phone.won't attach pics"
"TUBA Boob Implants 385CC Under the Muscle - Birmingham, AL - I received under the muscle saline implants (385CC) via the TUBA incision. I had initially planned on getting silicone through the armpit using a Keller funnel. But, silicone requires a larger incision and I am prone to scarring. Besides, even if my implants do deflate, replacements can also be done via TUBA as well (in most cases....my doctor advised me of this). I already had a scar in my navel due to a tummy tuck so the plastic surgeon just went in through the same scar. So, I have no *new* scars by choosing saline. The thing about saline that really bugged me at first is the fact that if they did deflate, I would have one flat breast. But, Mentor has a warranty for replacement implants and will also give you up to $1200 in doctors fees to have them replaced. And with the $1500 I saved by using saline combined with the warranty, I have more than enough money in my booby emergency fund to replace my saline implants if I ever need to. No matter whether you get saline or silicone, breast implants are not lifetime devices anyway. I did not want to spend a lot of money on silicone and then hate them and feel that implants are not for me. I did not want to spend too much money on my first surgery--because, let's face it, if you have implants, you are likely going under the knife again for replacements and revisions due to aging, breastfeeding, rupture etc. They say silicone feels more natural. But, I am not in a sexual relationship right now anyway so I don't care about that. If I do get into a relationship, it certainly will not be with a man who is whiny enough to complain about how my saline implants feel! I am a thin woman...any man with eyes can see that. And thin women rarely have huge natural boobs because fat is a big component of boobs. If a man is too dimwitted to understand that, then I do not want to be with him anyway.I am a big geek....I actually sat down with a pen and piece of paper and wrote out a list of pros and cons between my two choices (saline TUBA versus silicone through the armpit). Cost was not an issue for me. And even then, saline won out. Everyone is different and I advise anyone considering breast implants to do a list of pros and cons when it comes to which doctor to choose and which implant material to choose. If I did not already have a belly button scar from a tummy tuck, maybe silicone would have won out on my "pros and cons" list. The day after surgery was rough....my stomach was killing me. But, now I feel a lot better. Waking up, your boobs feel heavy and hard. But, it is getting easier to move around. TUBA recovery is a lot easier than the armpit recovery and plus there are no tell tale scars on my boobs. I am very happy with TUBA. When they drop and fluff, I will be even happier!"

"He's the Best! - Birmingham, AL - I have been wanting to have breast augmentation for years. I had been to several consultations but didn't ever feel 100% sure. We came in from out of town and when we met Dr. Hedden and his staff, we knew this was the right fit. He and his staff are truly wonderful. They make you feel very comfortable and are really good at their job! From my consultation to my surgery and even my post ops I am continually impressed! I am so happy with my new addition(s) and would recommend Dr. Hedden to anyone looking to have breast augmentation. If you go with him, you will not be disappointed!"
"Drooping Breast After Augmentation - Birmingham, AL - I am 20 and had a breast augmentation about a year ago and have recently noticed my right breast is drooping and looks nothing like the left one. I have a cyst in my left breast but the dr said it was nothing to worry about and there was no need to remove it. The areola is larger on my left breast also. Before i had the surgery my breasts were for the most part symmetrical. Is this common? What can I do to fix?"

"So Happy With My New Boobs! - Birmingham, AL - Hello! This website helped me tremendously when I was making the final decision to get breast implants so I thought I would share my story! I am 25 years old 5'4 and 115 pounds. I have wanted bigger boobs literally since I was 16 years old. My breasts have always been a huge insecurity because not only were they small, but I didn't think they were very pretty. I have always been a measly 34 A to small B cup. I always knew that I wanted to get the surgery one day, but I just didn't know when I would actually go through with it. I finally made the decision to get the surgery done just a few months ago. I wanted to get it done before bikini season (and with enough time to make sure they would be healed and settled). Was only required to send some pictures to Dr. Hedden to make sure I was a good candidate before making the drive. He told me I was a good candidate for breast augmentation and I scheduled my surgery for March 26th, 2013. Dr. Hedden recommended that I do the Rice test for a few days to get an idea of what size I wanted. Before my consultation I had in mind that I wanted to be a full C cup with 375-400CC Saline implants with the TUBA surgery (a scarless surgery through the belly button). My biggest thing was that I didn't want to have any visible scars and I wanted my breast to look natural. However, after my consult we decided that it would be best for me to go with 400CC silicone sub-muscular (under the muscle) and through the crease underneath my breast. I went with silicone because of my lack of breast tissue. This way I would avoid any rippling. The doctor also informed me that I had a very small case of tubular breasts and that he would be able to fix this with doing an incision underneath the breast. Although everything I went with was completely different than what I originally had in mind, I felt great about the decision because the doctor knew what he was doing. So one lesson learned was to keep an open mind going into this! I had my surgery at 6:00am the morning following the consult. I had so many emotions - excited, nervous, anxious, and just ready for it to be over with! Before I knew it I was awake with my new boobs! There really wasn't much pain after the surgery, just soreness/tightness in my chest (I am sure the pain meds helped:) . I was just in and out of sleep the first few days and took it easy. I am now day 6 post-op and feeling great. I still have some tightness in my chest, but I assume that is just part of the going under the muscle. They are still riding pretty high and are still pretty hard, but I am loving the way they are looking so far! It is crazy to think that I have nice big boobs now! My whole experience was so easy and I would do it again tomorrow! I definitely recommend breast augmentation if you are on the fence about it! Will keep you all updated on my progress! :)"

I read a lot of women wish they would have went bigger and express decisions they wish they would have made. Dr. Hedden at Hedden Plastic Surgery is my Dr. of choice. I haven't met him yet but Im confident he will give me what I want. Wish me luck*Updated on 14 Mar 2013:I see that a lot of doctors are telling me that they think based off my pictures that I posted that 700 cc's are way to big for me. I want to be able to be as big a my body allows without looking ridiculous. I have wide shoulders. I think I can handle more than a average woman my size and age can. I will see what Dr. Hedden says once I met him in May. I googled "700 cc breast implants/augmentations" and there are some pictures that look ridiculous as well as amazing. Its all about the body frame and breast size prior to surgery that seems to determine the outcome. We will see. I just dont want to become one of those girls that says " I WISH I WOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER."Updated on 23 Mar 2013:I am an active woman. I am a crossfit member and workout at the gym but I am a huge girlie girl. I work in an office environment. Does the size breast effect your workout or how active you can be? This is a big deal and I don't want to have to change my size like a lot of females wishing they would have went bigger. My range is 600-700 cc's.Updated on 7 Apr 2013:3 weeks away! Im so excited. I cant wait to finally et my surgery. Im going to try to go as big as i can so I wont regret anything after. I want to have a minimum of 550-600 cc's. it so crazy how so many women say they wish they would have went bigger. NOT ME :) Dr. Hedden Here I come!Updated on 12 Apr 2013:11 days to go! Im so excited. Brought 2 front snap sports braws, foam pillow, loose shirts and sweats. Just oping they turn out perfect. Have my list of questions and notes.

"Happy! Wish I Had Gotten Them 30 Years Ago - Birmingham, AL - I am 50 years old and I got my breast implants in May. I wish I had gotten them 30 years ago. I could not be happier with the results. My breast look better now than they did when I was 25. I did get silicone 375cc. I went from an A to a full C. My only regret is that I did not go bigger. They were so swollen after the surgery, after the swelling went down I was a little disappointed. The best decision I made was in choosing my doctor. I did drive 7 hours but it was worth it. I have friends who had their surgery locally have uneven results. Mine are beautiful."
"The Best Breast Augmentation Ever!!! - Birmingham, AL - Lost breast size due to physical training and 10 pregnancies and at 45 my breasts now look better than most 20 year olds!!!! Updated on 2 May 2012: I have had so many compliments since Dr William Hedden did my breast Augmentation on April 25th 2012. I am very physically fit and had gained a lot of muscle but lost lots of fat and my poor boobs vanished in the process! I went from having a size 38c to a deflated 36 b cup. I had also had a breast lump removed in my twenties and for all these years had lived with one breast smaller than the other due to that surgery. I researched implants and chose silicone specifically because I wanted and needed my breasts to look and feel as natural as possible. I chose a 475cc implant and I am stunned, absolutely stunned at how amazing my breasts looked immediately after surgery. I had little to no pain, barely any swelling and at 1 week post op my breasts have never, ever looked this good! I am going into fitness modeling and have had 10 pregnancies and I am 45 years old. But you know what? Because I am fit and healthy and now have these beautiful awesome new breasts I feel like a new woman! Dr William Hedden took my low self esteem due to breast size shrinkage and honestly has made me feel like a million dollars! I have photoshoots lined up now, I have people coming to me as I am a personal trainer too - he is the best!!!!Updated on 2 May 2012:Trying to upload pix so you can see for yourself!!!"
