From the reviews

Dr Self is on the approved BII plastic surgeon list and is widely recognized in facebook communities as being the absolute best breast explant surgeon in Utah, period! I went to Dr. Self for a breast explant and total/complete capsulectomy and lift (mastopexy). I am BEYOND satisfied with my care from pre-op to post-op.

Ok Dr. Self is the best of the best! Not only does he have incredible bedside manner but he really listens. If you ask around the industry, most surgeons have their nicknames (some not so glamorous) and if you ask, most will tell you he is known as “The Perfectionist”.

★★★★★ — Amy, Aug 2023

I had my explant with Dr Self in November, 2023. He was so great! I loved him and his nurse, Lynne. I can’t recommend him enough. Very genuine, caring, meticulous with his work. I am 8 months out and couldn’t be happier with the results.

★★★★★ — Tara, Jul 2024

Dr. Self is incredible. I had consultations with several surgeons and it was easy to choose Dr. Self. He didnt rush me, he took time with me at each appointment, he took the time to do my breast lift/augmentation well, he is down to earth and friendly. A surgeon who is beautifully talented AND a joy to be around.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
