From the reviews

I spent a significant amount of time doing research before selecting the right surgeon. Everything that I discovered online and in conversations with local providers (I’m a provider myself) and friends turned out to be true about Dr. Barnthouse!

★★★★★ — Samantha, Aug 2021

I visited Dr. Barnthouse for a consultation for a few procedures I want to have done since losing a substantial amount of weight. The visit was very pleasant and Dr. Barnthouse made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me in detail. He was very informative and patiently answered all of my questions.

★★★★★ — Miranda, May 2025

I don't give five star ratings often at all. In my opinion something has to be absolutely exceptional to warrant a five star rating. Well, Dr Barnthouse is absolutely exceptional! Our very first meeting was over an hour. He takes as much time as you need to answer all your questions and concerns.

★★★★★ — Linda, May 2025

Dr. Barnthouse is truly a master of his craft! His expertise and confidence put me at ease from the start, and I never once doubted that I was in the best hands possible. He was always there for anything I needed, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his dedication and care.

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.
