Plastic Surgery Success Stories

"I knew immediately he was the one I wanted to do my surgery..."

"Dr. Hammond was one of three opinions I received when considering surgery. Upon meeting with him I knew immediately he was the one I wanted to do my surgery. Let me explain… I have had two children and breast-fed them both. Age, (I am near forty) combined with the breastfeeding left me with severe sagging. I have always been small breasted but the sagging made me look even smaller. When I met Dr. Hammond I felt very comfortable with his knowledge, his professionalism and his confidence in performing a successful surgery that I would be happy with. He thoroughly explained what he felt would give me the results I desired. The other opinions I had received simply told me what they would do without considering what results I was looking for. Plus, my family doctor highly recommended Dr. Hammond.

Dr. Dennis Hammond performed a breast augmentation and breast lift for me on July 1, 2002. It has been several months since my surgery and I am SO happy with the results. I am the exact size I wanted to be, and no more sagging - I feel like a nineteen year old again! The best part is that I am so natural looking (I have over the muscle, silicone implants) that no one even guesses that I have implants. If I had a choice to do this all over again, I would definitely make the same decision. I have absolutely no regrets and highly recommend anyone considering breast surgery have it done by Dr. Hammond."

"The staff was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and caring..."

"Breast cancer has run throughout my family, every generation for many, many years. Both my sister and I felt we should and could avoid the same fate if we had mastectomies and, since we are both relatively young, reconstructive surgery. We chose Dennis Hammond to help us achieve that goal. My sister three years ago, and myself, this summer (2002).

Although we realize all results are different and success is defined by different people in different ways, we would not choose to change what we have done, nor whom we chose to be our partner in the endeavor. Achieving peace of mind and perhaps, in the long run, body, is invaluable.

Dr. Hammond himself is a work of art, and he views his patients as the same. His charismatic personality, ready smile and comforting attitude are invaluable. I can only assume he studies each patient, as he did myself, to discover what, artistically speaking, would best suit their appearance. Looking at my reconstruction, it will be difficult to discern my breasts as "artificial"... not that I plan to model his work, but knowing that it is so, makes me feel good as a person, as a woman, who is still attractive, and as a wife, and mother.

If one takes the time to view Hammond's hands, one can easily discern that he has been given a gift. Whether to play the violin or to wield a scalpel, it is none the less a gift. Since I have experienced and appreciate one side of his talent, I would now love to hear his music!

Hammond's staff compliments the man they serve. The ladies I encountered were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. One would be hard put to find a more pleasant and amiable atmosphere or experience, if indeed mine has been an example!

I would recommend Dr. Hammond and his staff to friends or family... for that matter, to anyone who may find themselves in need of services such as his. I hope I never need to revisit his office, but if I do, I will not hesitate to do so."

"Dr. Hammond has a natural way of making you feel comfortable..."

"Dr. Hammond is not only highly talented, but he also has a natural way of making you feel very comfortable in what would normally be an uncomfortable setting. Since I was 14 years old, I was very well endowed. In my early twenties I joked with my friends and family about wanting to have a breast reduction. Little did they know how truly miserable I was. Some of my closest friends saw how unhappy I was when I would try on shirts or dresses. After I spoke with a close friend of mine that had a breast reduction performed by Dr. Hammond, I decided to set up a consultation.

On April 12, 2001 (two months before I turned thirty) I had my reduction. My life changed forever. All my life I have been confident and strong, with a good self-esteem. Dr. Hammond and his skilled staff found a way to not only lift the weight off my shoulders, but the weight from my heart. Any woman that has ever had 'dig' marks in her shoulders, back, or just felt her breasts were out of proportion to the rest of her body should call to have a consultation to find out if a breast reduction is right for her."

"I'm so grateful that I found the RIGHT doctor..."

"Dr. Dennis Hammond performed immediate reconstructive surgery on me following a bilateral mastectomy. I had been diagnosed with lobular carcinoma insitu and, needless to say, this was a very difficult time for me. I met with Dr. Hammond very early in my decision making process on the recommendation of my general surgeon.

From the first time we met, I had a feeling of confidence in Dr. Hammond. Not only had he come highly recommended, but he took the time to fully explain to me my options and the pros and cons of the different methods of breast reconstruction. Dr. Hammond spent the time necessary for me to completely understand the procedures and showed me examples of other patients at various stages of recovery. Consequently, I felt more prepared for the procedure and for what to expect as I recovered. When the day came for my surgery, I knew that I had made the right decision and that I was in excellent hands that I trusted. I knew he had my best interests at heart.

It was during my recovery period that I gained an enormous respect for the very competent staff that Dr. Hammond has surrounded himself with. No question or concern was too small for Joanie, Dr. Hammond's scrub nurse. If I called the office with a concern, she'd call back even on days when they were at the hospital with scheduled surgery. Marie and the rest of the office staff were very warm and friendly. I looked forward to going for my post-surgical exams because it was a very supportive atmosphere.

I highly recommend Dr. Dennis Hammond for breast reconstructive surgery. It was a life changing experience for me and I'm very grateful that I found the right doctor with the necessary skills to do my surgery."
