"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."
"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.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. "
"Dr. Hedden did my breast implants. I am so in love with them and wish I would have had the surgery a long time ago! They are perfect! He has also done my botox many times and does a great job! I love Hedden Plastic Surgery and definitely reccomend!"
"I have been a client of Dr. Hedden for several years. I have gotten Botox, Dysport and Juvéderm injections, Chemical Peels, Lime Light, Titan, and recently Fraxel and Pearl. I have always been extremely pleased with the results at Hedden's office. I once went to a medi-spa with a Juvéderm coupon and left horrified at my appearance. My lips looked like a duck and my upper lip was lumpy. It really takes talent, practice, and knowledge to get it right. Dr. Hedden has all 3. I'll never go back that medi-spa again.
I prefer Dysport over Botox to get rid of and prevent forehead wrinkles. It seems to last a little longer and costs a little less! I love Juvéderm to slightly plump my lips and fill in my nasolabial fold."
"I am a true believer in Botox and Juvéderm. Both treatments have made me feel and look much younger and more confident as I age.
My physician is outstanding. I have seen Dr. Hedden for the past three years. I would never consider letting anyone else work on my face, or any other place on my body for that matter. He truly listens to his patients, he cares and offers outstanding advice.
The botox injections do not hurt, the Juvéderm is uncomfortable, but well worth the results.
Dr. Hedden is outstanding. I drive two hours to see him. He is caring, listens and is an artist with his craft of plastic surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hedden."
