Keywords: What our patients have to say: Facelift Dr. Claytor is the epitome of excellence and artistry. He really listens and provides results beyond my expectations. Dr. Claytor performed my breast reconstruction two years ago. He truly worked a miracle and made me feel whole again. I'm now about to turn 60. My face and neck haven't bounced back so well. I want to look as good as I feel. I'm tired of looking tired when inside I have boundless energy. So, it was a no-brainer to choose Dr. Claytor to give me back my 'glow'. Dr. Claytor is an artist (sometimes I think he's a magician - I just can't believe how awesome my results are!). I'm eternally grateful to Dr. Claytor and highly recommend him. Breast Augmentation: I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Claytor and his staff! I underwent a breast augmentation which isn’t always a comfortable issue or choice to make. Dr. Claytor and his staff were so welcoming, informative, and beyond helpful throughout the entire process. My recovery time was very easy and quick after just about a few days I was back to normal day to day activity. My results are more than I ever could of expected and reassured me that I made the right decision in getting a breast augmentation, but more importantly choosing Dr. Claytor as my surgeon. Mommy Makeover “I had a tummy tuck and breast lift, known today as a “Mommy Make-over”. Dr. Claytor and his staff were absolutely fabulous! I feel great and have to say I never knew I could like my body again after having 3 children. My pre-surgery tummy used to depress me and make me feel like I was pregnant even though my youngest is 17 years old. The only regret that I have is that I didn’t do the surgery sooner! I can’t thank Dr. Claytor and his staff enough for being so great.” Neck Lift No incisions. Very short downtime - only missed 2 days of work. Beautiful results.
