From the reviews

Dr. Blackburn is hands down the most badass plastic surgeon ever. He was totally down to earth and factual. He doesn't flounce around but is straight to the point. I have lots of PTSD issues and was concerned with the vulnerable state I'd need to be in for my procedure and follow-up visits, but he puts me 100% at easy.

Let's look at three aspects. First the front end staff. Friendly Caring and willing to way out of the norm to accommodate. Rating 5 star ++. Second, the surgical suite and staff. I have had 2 hand surgeries here in the past 45 days. Clean, modern and amazing staff. 5 Stars ++. Finally, Dr.Blackburn.

★★★★★ — Kaler, Dec 2020

I was very pleased with Dr Blackburn. He assisted me and explaining what was going to happen and the outcome of the surgeries. He was very pleasant to me. I had two separate surgeries from him and both were successful and I was extremely happy with the results. He also helped me to get into a SNF to assist me.

★★★★★ — Teri, Jul 2017

I've seen Dr. Blackburn for 3 different reasons over the course of 20 years. He's always taken great care of me and I've always healed up beautifully. He is an incredible doctor who I trust completely. He's also very kind and very funny. I can't say enough positive things about him.

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.
