I have had to multiple plastic surgeries with Dr. Jeffords. On Dec 31, 2003, I had a circumferential body lift, tummy tuck amd thigh plasty. I had excellent results on my buttucks and lower abdomen. We had planned to do the anchor incision for the tummy tuck but at the time my skin was so tight he felt it was unsafe. My legs did get improvement with the upper thigh plasty but still needed the skin removed around to make them smaller. On Jan 19, 2005 I had the anchor incision tummy tuck, vertical thigh reduction and a breast reduction with augmentation. Dr. Jeffords removed a section of skin from each leg 7 inches by 13 inches from my knee to pubic area. He removed an 8 inch section on my abdomen. My breasts that had no tissue left now are a full figure C. He is an excellent surgeon. My incisions from the first surgery are barely visible and if I did not tell you, you would not even notice them. My first tummy tuck was covered by insurance due to causing back pain from the excess skin, but I did most of the work to get it covered. I have had approximately 13 1/2 pounds of skin removed from the 2 surgeries. I would recommend Dr. Jeffords to eveeryone. He has been great for pain management. I had some compications with blood loss and seromas and he was extremely attentive and gave my husband his cell phone number to call him anytime we needed him. I had to have 4 units of blood after the first surgery. Plastic surgery is very serious surgery and recovery is difficult. Make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon and that they have a good reputation.
Dr Jeffords worked with me to file an appeal to my insurance company. He was able to get my procedure paid for. His office nurse, Pam, made last minute phone calls to make sure that all the insurance issues were taken care of. Dr Jeffords was very attentive during aftercare, made sure that my pain was managed appropriately. I had this done 12/02 and so my aftercare went over the holiday season. I had 12lbs of excess skin removed and 6 inches of skin off of my back. I had a total body lift or what some call a belt procedure.
Dr. Jeffords was very forthright and accomodating. His staff was pleasant and efficient. I liked the fact that Dr. Jeffords explained the reasoning behind his policies on what he will and won't do. And I liked the fact that he wasn't in a hurry when speaking to me. If he wasn't rushing me on a consult, he won't rush me thru an operational procedure either. I want patience and thoroughness. He was also most willing to provide me with references from prior patients, and I could find no one in my support group who had anything negative to say about him. I will continue to investigate him with the references as I go thru the insurance approval process. Just want to add that post op, I am ECSTATIC with my results~ his office staff is the BEST and he's just totally awesome!!! I would recommend Dr. Jeffords to anyone who asks.
