From the reviews
I had surgery 8/25/21 and I couldn't be happier with choosing Dr. Thornton! I had to have over 15 different consultations with different Doctors before finding and choosing Dr. Thornton. He is kind, very caring, wonderful bedside manner.
Dr. Thornton did my tummy tuck and liposuction 3 weeks ago and I am very happy with the results. I have been able to have direct contact with him from the day I left the hospital, as he gave me his personal cell number to contact him if I needed anything. The surgery went very well and I was in and out the same day.
Doctor Thornton and his team have been the best throughout my journey with them from initial consultation to every follow up after surgery. Doctor Thornton and his staff are kind and ready and willing to help their patients look the best they are able to. I can’t speak higher of him.
Dr. Thornton did an amazing job with my breast reduction and lift. I’m a 30 year old mom of one and wanted to get my body back as I’m done having children. My breasts are lifted, slightly smaller, and have a rounder, fuller shape now. I would definitely go back to Dr. Thornton for any of my cosmetic surgery needs.
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.
