My whole experience was amazing! I love the outcome so much because of how natural they look. Im very happy with his work and would 10/10 recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Lawton and friendly staff! - Cute470498

I chose Dr.Lawton after my first visit - I had no desire to see anyone else - his self assuredness cane across loud and strong - so note to self: Look no further Dr, Lawton is the one... And I was right!!! Ladies this is THE PLASTIC SURGEON you want - TRUST ME!! I’ve had 3 previous breast augmentations.., My husband is an anesthesiologist and I commented to him the night before my surgery, “I’ve Never had a plastic surgeon meet my expectations with my 3 previous breast augmentations.” My husband responded, “maybe you’d expectations are too high.” My reply, “Perhaps I’ve never had the right surgeon.” Well here I am one day post op and not only did Dr. Lawton meet my expectations, he exceeded any and all of my expectations.. Ladies do yourselves a favor and don’t waste your time or money on anyone else for your breast augmentation. Dr, Lawton is the best . His work is at the top and his bedside manner is impeccable I assure you he will exceed your expectations as well. He takes care of all aspects of care beginning with your initial visit and continues with pre op and post op care. And continues yearly to make sure all is well. Absolutely love my outcome. Dr. Lawton: professional, personable, and a rock star!!!! - cosa

The time had come... I did my research, and there I was scheduling 4 consultations with 4 different surgeons for a breast augmentation. After all, this is surgery, and I wanted to make sure I found the right surgeon for the job. Dr. Lawton's office had my consult scheduled within days of calling, so he was the first surgeon I consulted with. After my consultation, I booked my surgery date before leaving the office. I immediately knew Dr. Lawton was the right surgeon for my breast augmentation. I was sent home with vitamins and detailed instructions to follow before my surgery date. I was also courteous enough to call the other 3 offices and cancel my future consultations ;) Dr. Lawton has a quirky personality (which made me feel even more comfortable). He is straight forward and very professional. He answers all of your questions and does his job well... very, very well. If you go in explaining a desired outcome, he will give you that EXACT outcome, and you will love it! Before my children, I was a large C/small D, after my second child, I deflated to a large B. Some would be satisfied with a large B chest, but I lost all fullness of my breasts. I wanted the fullness back and of course the desired perkiness after having 2 children. My fear was going into my consult and choosing an implant that would appear too large on my small body frame. I have a very petite frame, and was blessed with a large chest I often disliked when I was younger. I felt like I wasn't portioned well (big chest, no hips). Dr. Lawton knew the exact implant size to give me the desired look I strived to be after my procedure. I didn't question his ability to do the job, I fully trusted him in that regard, but I did question the CC amount up until 5 minutes before being wheeled into the OR. I laughed thinking, "I must be the most annoying patient he has ever experienced!" I was very adamant that I did not leave with a DD or even a D cup size. I wanted my breasts to look comparable to my natural chest size, and comfortable in future clothing and swimsuits. He was incredibly patient, and basically consulted with me AGAIN right before my procedure. We agreed on the desired size and off I went. The OR staff was amazing. The nurse, anesthesiologist, everyone! I left feeling cared for, and returned the next day to have my surgical bandage removed. I was told to expect my breasts to look very high (like pectoral muscles), but when the surgery bandage was removed, I stood in the mirror and smiled so big because I loved them!!!!!!! I literally loved my breast augementation the DAY AFTER surgery! I am not lying when I say this surgeon IS THE BEST! His bed side manner, his staff, his skill and professionalism... The whole nine-yards! My one week follow up went great. This was the first time I saw Dr. Lawton since my surgery date. He walked in, saw my smile and smiled in return. He knew I was so happy and so pleased with the outcome, and I could see that same reaction on his face. He was pleased with his work! He cares about his patients and truly loves his job. He assessed me and followed up with my at-home care very thoroughly. After answering all of my questions, he left me with a hug. Best surgeon in San Antonio! - salinesatisfied

I recently had my breast augmentation done By Dr. Lawton and his team. Let me begin to say searching for the right plastic surgeon took me years as I wanted to make sure I made the right choice on who I was willing to allow to perform this cosmetic surgery. After years of research on different plastic surgeons in Texas, I chose Dr. Lawton and his team to perform my breast augmentation. I was absolutely amazed at how comfortable and welcoming Dr. Lawton made me feel during my consultation. He explained everything I needed to know about the procedure and how recovery will be. You can tell Dr. Lawton really cares for his patients and wants them to have the best experience. All my questions were answered the day of my consultation that I had left the clinic confident knowing everything about the procedure and glad he will be performing my surgery! Dr. Lawton will ask you what your goal is and he will give you a realistic answer and if you can accomplish your goal. That was one of the main reasons I felt comfortable knowing he is going to give me a realistic answer on my outcome. The day of my surgery I checked in and had to most wonderful nurse I think her name was Bernice who was also very knowledgeable about the procedure and helped me with my nerves as you can feel anxious day of the procedure. She made everything feel so comfortable and was very real about how recovery was going to be like. I swear she was the sweetest nurse! Also, I do want to commend the anesthesiologist as well because he was so sweet and very educational on his part in the procedure and how you'll be feeling after surgery. My whole experience was just absolutely phenomenal, I don't regret my choice in doctor and surgical team because each and every one of them care for their patients and really wants you to have the best experience! Thank you so much, Dr.Lawton, and your team y'all are amazing! - Compassionate58743

I waited a long time (personal and financial) to have this surgery and I'm so grateful I was able to have it. I had old Mentor implants and they had hardened and felt very painful, hard and laterally displaced, not to mention very bad animation deformity anytime I moved my arms.Dr. Lawton corrected that and gave me better implants (high profile) more suited to my small upper body, now I finally have cleavage and they are pain free and I feel confident. So I had a remove and replace I think it's called. The recovery was pretty fast for me. I am very happy now! I highly recommend this Dr. And his staff are all lovely and kind.- twilightmagic17

Dr. Lawton and his team are the best! I chose Dr. Lawton as my surgeon, after seeing his portfolio online. I could not be happier with the results! He really does amazing work, and I got my confidence back! The whole staff made me comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Lawton himself has very good bedside manners. I'm heading in for my 4th year post op visit this morning, which is unheard of with other surgeons. Dr. Lawton really cares about his patients. If you are considering having a procedure done, do yourself a favor, and schedule a visit with Dr. Lawton. - Sirpentinite

Dr. Lawton is a GENIUS!!!!! He removed my 30-year-old silicone implants (both of which were ruptured) en bloc!!!!!! Not only did he get everything, he did it a way that it looks like I had a lift - even though I only had a removal!! I had NO pain right after surgery (I refused all pain meds) and I'm still pain free 9 days later!!!! There is no bruising!! (only under one drain on the side) I highly recommend Dr. Lawton - he's AMAZING!!!!! - Forceful4163

I had a BA 10 months ago. This was something I've wanted to do for many, many years. Finally, after raising my children to adulthood and no longer having that responsibility, I decided to focus on myself. At the time of the surgery, I was 53 yo. I was concerned that it might be "too late" but I went for a consultation anyway. Dr. Lawton and his staff put me at ease right away. He told me it wasn't too late to have a breast augmentation. I am a fitness buff and workout daily. I run, bike, weight train, etc. He answered my questions and offered very good suggestions. He is extremely knowledgeable and absolutely knows what he's doing! I completely trusted him and I was not disappointed. I very highly recommend him and his entire practice. From pre op to post op and recovery, the entire experience was A . I doubt that there is anyone more qualified and talented than Dr. Gary Lawton. By the way, at 10 months post op, I LOVE my breasts!!! They are perfect for my body frame. They look natural when I want to look natural and they look "enhanced" when I want to look "enhanced". - RiverCityMama

In May 2018 I had a Breast Augmentation with Dr. Lawton. Dr. Lawton has a way of explaining and guiding you to your wants in a comfortable setting. He took into account my personal style, personality, and helped guide me to a decision that I am very happy with. Following my surgery I had high anxiety with my healing process, as I am naturally a slow healer. Dr. Lawton and his staff followed through each of my concerns via phone call and creating appointments. The staff was so kind and knowledgeable - I followed all of their advice, especially the daily massaging which I still currently do. Dr. Lawton's technique and expertise led to a beautiful outcome with now scarring or complaints. I'll suggest this team to anybody who asks. - clc06a

I have been contemplating having breast augmentation for over 20 years and have researched numerous plastic surgeons throughout the country. I always had small breast that would range from AA to barely a B cup. My weight was never a huge issue. I exercised and worked to keep my weight below 155 pounds. After the birth of my son, my weight skyrocketed to 200 pounds; however my breast cup size was a C. Once I lost the weight I also lost my C cup. In 2008 I had gastric bypass after gaining a tremendous amount of weight following an injury I sustained that left me unable to maintain my exercise routine. After losing more than 170 pounds I was left was excess skin around my abdomen, arms, thighs, and legs. No matter how much time I spent at the gym, I was unable to lose the excess skin. I was extremely unhappy with my appearance and hated for my husband to see me without clothes on. My self-esteem plummeted and I knew I had to do something to make me feel happy again about myself. Two years ago I came across Dr. Gary Lawton on Real Self and began following him. His patients always had positive reviews of him; however, I was even more impressed with his eagerness to impart his knowledge upon others seeking information and guidance. I called his office and was impressed by how kind his receptionist was so I scheduled my consultation. On March 29, 2019, I arrived at Dr. Lawton's office in San Antonio. From the moment I arrived I felt at ease; not like a number but more like a family member. After spending a few hours with Dr. Lawton and his staff I knew that he was the surgeon that I wanted to complete my work. Before leaving that day my surgery for a breast augmentation and abdominoplasty was set. On April 16, 2019, I had both surgeries completed. Before the surgery, Dr. Lawton asked if I had any concerns at which time I told him my concerns about the implants being too big for my size. Dr. Lawton assured me that the size I had chosen (650cc) would fit my frame nicely and that he would not allow a patient of his to ever chose a size that would not look natural for them. Dr. Lawton's reassurance solidified my decision that he is the best plastic surgeon in the country. He genuinely cares for his clients and as he stated numerous times throughout my consultation..."You will always be my patient". Knowing that Dr. Lawton and his staff really care for each patient is a rarity and one that I admire. I am anxiously awaiting hitting my six-month mark so I can have my arms, thighs, and legs fixed by Dr. Lawton. If you are unsure of a doctor look no further. Dr. Lawton and his staff will make sure that you are taken care of and you will not be disappointed with your results. - mreyn99

Dr. Lawton is not only an exceptional doctor but he is also caring, kind, honest, generous, meticulous, and knowledgeable, the best doctor I ever met. I am a healthy and almost 52 years young woman. Even though I am healthy I had met many doctors throughout my life. I have grown up kids and I had been treated by and seen innumerable doctors but I never met a doctor as amazing and humanitarian as Dr. Lawton. In 2015 Dr. Lawton performed my BA. My results were beautiful but my body or the right half of my body didn’t react well to the implants thus I developed capsular contracture on my right side just few weeks after my surgery. Dr. Lawton performed a revision right after and free of charge. The results again perfection. I followed Dr. Lawton instructions after the surgery, daily massages and Cingular to help my body to agree and no reject the implant, it was a constant battle. In 2018 three years after the revision, my right side began to feel extremely thigh, hard and uncomfortable. To help my body to accept the implant I changed my diet, begun a yoga routine, and intensify the daily massages, but nothing worked. My right breast changed shape and the pain became unbearable, I felt defeated and frustrated. I never mention the pain to Dr. Lawton until a follow up visit last month. Dr. Lawton asked me to give him a chance to fix me, and to be honest I was hesitant not only because of the incurring costs but also because of the recovery time, pain, and risks that come during and after a surgery. I had my surgery this past April. Dr. Lawton performed the surgery totally free of charge, he also provided me with the best care before and after the surgery. Dr. Lawton provided me with vitamins, medication, health treatments, tests, and a medical device to prevent blood clots; Dr Lawton absorbed all the costs. I am recovering extremely well; I have no pain anymore and no bruising. The results are amazing, perfection. I feel normal and healthy again. I am moved by Dr. Lawton’s generosity and humanity. I am eternally and immensely grateful to Dr. Lawton. Also, my sincere thanks to Dr. Melish and all the staff at Dr. Lawton’s office. - HangingLowAlong2

Has been now 9 months after my tummy tuck surgery and I am delighted to express how lucky I am to have found Doctor Lawton to perform it! I have received many compliments and it is due to his knowledge, precision and great professionalism. The before and after care were an essential part of my now great health and motivation. A couple of weeks ago, while flying back from a beach vacation where I wore for the first time a two piece pink neon bikini, I was reading a Doctor Magazine and I saw a picture of the “best tummy tuck “ award to a doctor, and I am thinking “My tummy tuck looks way better than that one” After a painless tummy tuck (yes, NO pain, some discomfort only) my only regret is not to have it done before. Thanks Doctor Lawton, a world of appreciation and a #1 trophy to you and your team. - mzgovea

4 years ago, I had my surgery with Dr. Gary Lawton and I am just as happy now as I was then. Dr Lawton is a highly skilled surgeon who practices in his own fully accredited operating room. He has a very professional and friendly staff that make you feel so comfortable. I have been so pleased! I am extremely happy with my results and have had tons of people ask if I have had work done because my breasts look so natural. I have referred multiple family members and friends to Dr. Lawton. Many of them have had procedures with him and are just as happy! In addition, his nurses and staff have always been available to me whenever I've had any questions. If you are in need of any sort of cosmetic enhancements, without a doubt, visit Dr Lawton. He's the absolute best! - jessjb

Dr. Lawton is very direct and honest. He Will tell you like it is without sugarcoating it to ensure your safety. I went to Dr. Lawton for consultation on a mommy makeover. Dr. Lawton shared with me his practices on what what and how he did the bellybutton and where he would make the incision for the breast.. based on his practices I was sold. I told him I didn’t want boobs that make me look fatter, I wanted to use my own belly button and not re-create one because I didn’t want to look fake. Dr. Lawton did exactly that because that’s what he does. He even knew exactly what size a boobs I was going to need although I was uncertain because I felt they were too big I told him I trust your judgment I’m glad I did I am super satisfied and I don’t look fatter. BTW my tummy tuck I wanted it not only for cosmetic reasons but after having four kids one being set of twins. I noticed that for now 10 years I would walk every single day all day holding in my stomach which impacted my breathing. I was doing short breaths and noticed that I had absolutely no core strength. so the highlight of my mommy makeover has been the ability of being able to breathe normally... full breath‘s and my stomach not feeling like it’s never going to stop expanding. That feeling like I’m doing double work and exhausted this was to conceal how much my stomach would expand. When I would just breathe normal my stomach would expand so far out I look 4 months pregnant I weigh 160 I’m postop 16 days and again my highlight has been by far the ability of being able to breathe freely thank you Dr. Lawton for that!! if I had to do that again I’d say yes 10,000 times!!! His incision on my stomach was a beautiful line -clean he started my incision where my C-sections- were. For my breast he did a small incision in my under arms that are hardly noticeable. sutures were removed one week postop on my TT and under arms. thank you Dr. Lawton for helping me breathe like a normal person and icing on the cake removing all of my stretch marks and making me feel confident about myself see you two months postop. - Energetic192229

I have waited awhile to post a review on Dr. Lawton in fear of sounding too much like a fan girl. However, as much as I hope this isn’t the case, I will probably let some of this slip through…so apologies in advance. I decided about 18 years ago that I wanted a tummy tuck. Because of personal circumstances this was not in the cards at that time. Three years ago I started my search for the perfect doctor, and I looked in California, Florida, Mexico (that is a disaster) and a few other places. I finally found Dr. Lawton and proceeded to stalk him for about two years. I kept waiting for someone to say something horrible about him that was legitimate. I mean no one is this good, right? Finally, I worked up the courage to go in for a consult fully expecting him to tell me that I needed to lose about 20 pounds. Glory hallelujah, I swear I heard angles singing when he promptly told me he did not want me to lose any weight and that all the skin at the top of my belly button was going to end up at my groin. With my heart soaring my surgery date was booked immediately. I couldn’t believe how comfortable he and his staff made me feel during my consult! Everyone in his office is amazing and he is a complete artist in his work. What I want to emphasize is Dr. Lawton is much more than just a plastic surgeon; he is a certified wound care specialist. THIS IS EXTREMLY IMPORTANT. When you decide to have major surgery you must ask yourself how your surgeon help if things go wrong? Seriously you need to play the devil’s advocate and think of all the things that can go wrong when embarking on this type of self-improvement. Please look at all the “plastic surgery gone horribly wrong photos” before signing up for any surgery, as you have no idea how your body will react to your surgery. Then ask yourself if you want some cut-rate doctor butchering you and then not knowing what to do with the mess he or she created. I will tell you this, had I not elected to go with Dr. Lawton I would be a complete mess. My body, through no fault of Dr. Lawton, decided to be difficult. Dr. Lawton immediately headed off these issues and I am now perfectly fine. Had I elected to go with anyone else I would have lifelong medical issues and horrible disfigurements. Simply put, this man is my hero. If in the future I decide to have any other work done there is no one else I would trust with my body. Dr. Lawton is a consummate professional and artist. Because of this I love my new look! Seriously, if you can’t afford his prices, save up for awhile and get the best care possible from him. This is your body…you only have one. The last thing you would ever want to do is go to some incompetent idiot botch your surgery and then have you carry disfiguring scars for the rest of your life. You owe it to yourself to book an appointment with this doctor. Simply put…he is the best! - Dsvina

I went to Dr. Lawton because I was interested on getting liposuction on my thighs. My thighs were my problem area. I had these annoying saddlebags that I was very self conscious about. Even jeans wouldn't hide them. And although I'm an overall thin person I wore nothing but tunic shirts to hide my thighs. All I wanted to do was be able to wear jeans with a blouse that didn't have to be so long. Dr. Lawton knew exactly what look I was striving for and he delivered! Even though at first I was swollen I instantly noticed those saddlebags were gone! Pain was very minimal after surgery . I just felt like my thighs were sore from working out. It's been a month since my procedure and I just got the green light to stop wearing compression and wear whatever I want and boy does it feel good to wear jeans with normal length shirts! I have gained the confidence that I've been lacking for so long. Dr Lawton and his staff were excellent at every step of the way. I highly recommend him and I will definitely be going back to him for any future procedures! - sarahrflores

Dr Lawton saw me this afternoon for my one year post surgery. I had met him over 20 years ago when I first realized my breasts were not only disproportionate, but no longer defying gravity. I didn’t do the surgery after the consultation because family and friends were telling me I would lose the sensitivity in my nipples. Some even implied my nipples would feel numb. After 20 years I went back to see him and after he answered all of my questions (which included will I lose nipple sensitivity) I decided to have a breast lift. I could not be happier, my breasts are symmetrical and better than they ever were. I wish I had done it 20 years ago. My nipples are hypersensitive and I like it. BTW My husband loves it! - nitarific

I first went to see Dr. Lawton as the breast implants that I had were 20 years old and I had problems.Upon meeting Dr. Lawton I knew right away I had made an excellent choice!! He made me feel comfortable and knew right away what was wrong and what he should do. It was agreed that I would get the necessary surgery(due to being encapsulated). We agreed on me getting the silicone implants as I previously had the saline, and thought I might like them better. I had the surgery on Dec. 4th of 2014 and it was a completely successful operation! Dr. Lawton is an expert in his field and cares more about his patient's happiness and satisfaction than he does the money! For Dr. Lawton it is NOT about the money. The fact is that although the operation was so successful I did not achieve the results that I had hoped for with the silicone implants. IMMEDIATELY Dr. Lawton told me that if I wasn't HAPPY he would be willing to operate on me again and change the implants for me to saline and THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE!!!! He explained to me to me that I would need some time to heal- maybe 6 months or so down the road I would be ready. TRUE TO HIS WORD Dr. Lawton operated on me again in Sept. 2015 and took out the silicone implants and put in the saline implants FREE OF CHARGE!!! It was NOT about the money at all, it was just to make me HAPPY!!! He is such an exceptional doctor, and he has such a top-notch staff; I dare you to find another doctor like him!!! he is the most kind, caring, and absolutely expert doctor you will ever encounter. I have had more than 15 surgeries in my life due to many different things. I have never encountered a doctor as perfect as Dr. Lawton. I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased with the results!!!! As far as the difference between the silicone and the saline. Perhaps some may feel that the silicone is a bit more of a natural look and feel, I disagree. If you are looking for more definition and cleavage the saline is the choice to make. The staff at Dr. Lawton's office also needs to be recognized as they are all excellent!! They are all very friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel comfortable and special. You will be in the best possible hands in this office, without a doubt!! This is truly a five star practice in every way! - sat.guaranteed

Dr. Lawton is not only an artist and perfectionist, but also a holistic care provider. He provided a plethora of supplements to aid in healing and recovering, which also reduced sweeping, inflation, and bruising, without being brutal on my body. My breasts are perfect and I had almost no bruising (all I had were small bruises around my tiny incision). He made me feel calm and assured in my decision throughout the entire process. I typically have anxiety in making big decisions, but I felt 100% confident in his skill and care, which proved to be true through my results. I’d choose him again and again for this procedure and have 0 regrets!! - ready4change3213

I give Dr Lawton 5 stars due to his professionalism and ability to see me quickly. Five years ago I had breast augmentation, I really liked the end result but things happened and one of my implants was deflated and Dr Lawton not only saw me quickly for my second consultation but offered to replace both implants free of charge. Also he is going to see me at his most busiest time of the year due to my work schedule. I am over the moon my problem is going to be resolved and so pleased that Dr Lawton will be doing the procedure - Lana1904

Dr. Lawton is an EXTREMELY knowledgeable and meticulous plastic surgeon who goes over and beyond to do whatever it takes to ensure his patients goals are met. What I adore most about Dr. Lawton is his transparency and extreme detail in EVERYTHING he does! As I began my cosmetic journey, I was immediately welcomed by Suzanne’s beautiful smile as I entered an immaculately clean office. I then meet Joanne who’s positive demeanor books my upcoming appointments and answers my many questions with ease and confidence. I then proceed to meet my patient coordinator, Jennifer who graciously guides me through the financial component of my upcoming surgery and energetically helps provide the best financial solution to suite my needs. The day of surgery, I’m surrounded by the most amazing and competent nurses; Ashley, Laura, and Maria who took exceptional care of me! I then meet my anesthesiologist, Dr. Melish who did an outstanding job by doing everything possible to make me comfortable throughout the entire surgical process! Not only did you all do an exceptional job, you made me feel beautiful! The bedside manner of all the staff involved was perfect. I would 1000% recommend this office and personally, Dr. Lawton for any procedure you are thinking of having done. His work is truly amazing and I am so pleased!!! I got EXACTLY what I asked for and I’m so grateful for making “The Lawton Experience” the BEST decision I’ve made!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! - Intellectual323368

From my initial consultation I knew that Dr Lawton was the perfect PS for me. He has a professional yet calm demeanor about him that puts even the most anxious patient at ease. I asked several questions which he answered honestly without regard for time, he was never pushy or did he seem bothered. Dr. Lawton preformed my first breast augmentation (which I had a great experience overall with), however due to an issue with my own anatomy, a revision on one breast was preformed and I was treated the exact same way as the first time. I highly recommend Dr Lawton to anyone considering an elective procedure, not only is he highly skilled but his personality as well as all of his office staff exceeds any other that I’ve seen. - nikkip3

My experience with Gary Lawton was he was extremely professional and he also was patient with me explaining the procedure that he was going to perform. I am 61 and have had 3 prior surgeries for the same problem every 8 to 10 years. The Dr. explained that if it happened again it would not be at the great cost is has been all along and he would still be here to take care of me. The Staff and the Tru Med clinic are awesome and the Before surgery care and After surgery care was excellent. The Tru Med clinic is a welcomed change from all my other surgeries. If I every need any kind of surgery I will be back with them for the complete care they offer. Again Dr. Lawton does it right from the beginning to end. - isieblack

Dr. Lawton is nothing short of a surgical wizard! He is thorough, patient, kind and all that is important but what is most important is his skillset. I still don't even know how he fixed my breasts for me without giving me a traditional lift, and i don't need to know, they look and feel amazing. Long story short, I came to Dr. Lawton after having another surgeon preform a breast augmentation on me that did not look like that Dr and I had discussed. I had double bubble on both breasts, I was bottoming out and the worst part was he pain I was experiencing daily. I made a BIG MISTAKE not using Dr. Lawton to begin with, hindsight is 20/20. He takes such time and care with his patients. He was able to achieve the results I was originally hoping for in a much shorter surgery with much less downtime and minimal pain. His office staff as well as the surgical staff are top notch. It's now clear to me why he is such a highly regarded are respected Dr. in the country. If you want to go to the best, start and stop with Dr. Lawton. I am so grateful for him and his team!! Thank you Dr.Lawton!! - cassidyw83

My journey went exactly as the doctor laid out. I was so apprehensive, knowing I really only had one chance to get this right and that my results would be permanent. I had three very large babies and was fairly small (5'6", 128 lbs). I had a severe diastasis recti, loose skin that would never go back, and deflated breasts from years of nursing. My back would ache daily and my energy was so low that I was missing out on the lives of my kids. I never realized how much energy it took to be in pain all of the time. I'm 11 weeks out and cleared for exercise. I'm getting strong again but already, my energy is so much better. I literally feel 10 years younger (I'm 36). I had surgery on my ankle tendon 6 months ago and between the two surgeries, I'm a little out of shape but I can't wait to see what my booty looks like in summer. My results are exactly what I asked for. I was able to walk into the office and explain what I wanted and the doctor was able to tell me exactly what I needed. His staff is amazing. Most of the nurses have been with him for years. When I asked what they loved about it/why they were there so long, they all said it was because of his superior patient care. They liked working for someone with such high standards so they could provide the best care. They made me feel completely comfortable, caring and encouraging me every step of the journey. They answered every question and called me back every time I left a message. Dr. Lawton is a seasoned professional with the best of modern technology. I loved that is surgical center is on suite to his office so everything happens in one place. He also encourages healing from the inside with high quality supplements, diet, and a full body analysis pre-op to figure out exactly one many calories and grams of protein you need. He also provides a customized IV the day after surgery and it was amazing! I felt so refreshed. I remember asking if I needed a walker to help me get around after surgery. He told me no and that I'd be able to walk into his office the day after surgery. I did! A little slow, but it was completely doable. This has changed the way I feel about myself and the energy I can pour into my career and my family. I would do it again in a heartbeat. - rustylocks

Dr. Lawton is by far the best plastic surgeon in town. He is down to earth and straight to the point...he knew what was best for my situation and delivered what he promised and more. He was most concerned of my health risk and what the silicone leaking could do to my over all health not just my breast. My surgery went as plan with little to no pain and my recovery is going well. - adthomas223

After months of research and interviewing several other doctors in and around SA it was clear to me that EVERYTHING about Dr. Gary Lawton's practice was superior. His office is very professional, the staff treats you like family, the nurses are comforting, and Dr. Lawton is very knowledgeable and experienced in cosmetic surgery. He truly cares about you as a patient. He will take as much time needed answering questions and guiding you to make the best cosmetic choices for your unique body. Most importantly to me, it was clear from my first consultation appt through my last post-op appt that Dr. Lawton had my health and satisfaction as priority. I am now 4 months post op and LOVE the results Dr. Lawton achieved with my breast revision procedure. I still visit his holistic medicine practice, TrueMed, on a regular basis for IV Therapy and supplements. Full body health is very important to Dr. Lawton and I LOVE THAT! None of the other doctors I interviewed mentioned anything about pre-op/post-op supplements to maximize wound recovery. I really could go on forever about how much i loved my experience, but the bottom line is, Dr. Gary Lawton and his entire staff get my highest recommendation!! - anon98547780

I chose Dr. Lawton after several years of research. I've known several people that have gone to him for their breast augmentation and they all looked great. Finally, two years ago, for my 30th birthday, I decided to get my BA after years of wanting it. Last night Dr. Lawton just did my second surgery. I was having rippling in my left breast and I told him that I had pain there and he scheduled me the following week for implant removal and replacement. He's taken such good care of me. I recommend him to everyone. He truly cares about his patients and has their best interest in mind. Updated on 23 Sep 2022: I've been seeing Dr. Lawton for about the last 4 years. He's the only surgeon I would trust with my breast augmentation. He's professional and honest about what to expect as well as talented with his results. I recommend him to literally everyone! I just had another breast aug to replace my implants to a different size. Recovery has been easy and stress free because I know I can always call Dr. Lawton's office with any questions I may have. - booboobirdie

Great bedside manner and straight to the point. I love my results and I’m only 1.5 weeks post op. Nurses are great and anesthesiologist eased my mind. I had anxiety about going under. I LOVE LOVE this place. Dr. Lawton knows what he’s doing - ramos.sasha90

For 2 years I debated whether or not to have tummy tuck surgery. I even saw Dr. Lawton for an initial consultation but fear and nerves held me back. I was always unhappy with my stomach after 3 children in 3 years and 3 c- sections...you can just imagine what it must have looked like. At 41, I decided I had finally had enough. I went back to Dr. Lawton and I’m so happy I went through with the surgery! Dr. Lawton and his staff reassured me everything would be fine and helped calm my fears. They patiently answered all my questions. I felt 100% safe in his hands every step of the way. I’m only 8 months post op and Dr Lawton has told me it will take a while to see the full results, but honestly everyday I wake up and look in the mirror I can’t believe what I see. I see a woman I thought was long gone. Dr. Lawton changed my life. He gave me back my confidence and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Lawton. - MelissaRose77
