"I had breast augmentation and Smartlipo to my inner and outer thighs. I am 34 years old and wanted lipo for many years. I went for my consultation in August. I knew immediately that I wanted both procedures and Dr. Hedden to be the one to do them.
I was the first surgery of the day. I was very nervous but excited. Dr. Hedden came in the room and we discussed a lot of things. Dr. Hedden was wonderful! I trusted his knowledge and experience, and went with 450cc. He was right! I would have been very disappointed with 350cc to 375cc.
It has only been a little over four months since my surgery, but I can tell you it has changed my life! I look so much better in my clothes. I have a lot more confidence. I am so glad that I did it! This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and worth it."

"Over the last year I have lost some excess weight through diet and exercise. Despite my extremely active exercise program I was still unable to lose specific pockets of body fat. Also, due to the weight loss, my face had lost fat and was looking aged, to include sunken eyes and deep smile lines.
After coming to the realization that more exercise would not get rid of the body fat and more dieting only resulted in increased fat loss from my face, I decided to see a plastic surgeon. Based on multiple recommendations and outstanding experiences by friends, family and co-workers, I chose to see Dr. Hedden.
During my consultation, Dr. Hedden explained what needed to be done. He was extremely professional and informative.
Just a couple of months later I underwent SmartLipo to my abdomen and flanks, fat transfer to my lips, cheeks, smile lines and under my eyes. I also had my tummmy tuck scar revised and Dysport injected into my forehead and crow's feet. It was so nice to go to the surgery center in Dr. Hedden's building. The staff was so nice and took such good care of me. I can't say enough how much I appreciate their part in my care.
My results were absolutely incredible! Dr. Hedden exceeded every expectation I had!"
"I am 28 year of age single mother living in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a nurse. I have always had a few problem areas on my hips that I just could not get to go away. I then saw some ads for smart liposuction.
I did my research and found a few doctors in Birmingham, Alabama that performed the procedure. A few were not even plastic surgeons and had their dogs in the office, just did not seem safe. Then a friend of mine told me to check out Dr. Hedden. I am so happy she did. They were so nice. The whole office was just so helpful.
I had the surgery at their surgery center and was there for about 2 hours. It was performed under local anesthetic and did not hurt at all. I have to admit I was very nervous that it was going to hurt but it did not, it was so easy. I was back to work the next day and had no signs of bruising.
I look great! I still cannot believe it did not hurt. I should have had it done even earlier. It was so worth it and very inexpensive.
I do believe my outcome was so good because I choose the right doctor. Do your research! Make sure they are a plastic surgeon and of course no dogs in the office. :)"
