Testimonials

From: Carin-Mini Tummy Tuck/Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Hynes and all your wonderful staff-THANK YOU! This was the best present I could have ever given myself for my 30th birthday! I had always wanted bigger breasts and hated my deformed c-section scar, but was too scared to go through with it. I saw several doctors, but the day I met you I knew I trusted you and your whole staff put me at ease and was very professional.. Being in the medical field myself, I don't take surgery lightly and I appreciate that you and your staff feel the same. It's truly a caring and friendly atmosphere and I always felt I was receiving the best care. I couldn't be happier with the results. You are an extraordinarily talented surgeon and I will be back for any other procedures I consider in the future!

From Chakara-Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Hynes, I am very pleased with the breast augmentation I received from you several months ago. When I told friends and family about my surgery, I'm always finding someone who either wants to touch, see them, or want some sort of surgery of their own! I recommend anyone who is willing to try plastic surgery to just go for it! Life is too short, you may as well look good and Dr. Hynes is the best!! Thanks again...

From Lyndsay-Tummy Tuck

I am so happy that i found Dr Hynes. The work he does is amazing. The first day to the last visit the staff were so kind and made you feel like you were part of the family. I am so pleased with the tummy tuck it feels so good to fit into all my cute old clothes and i have so much energy now i just want to say thank you all so much and i hope to return someday just to say hello and thank you. You guys are great!

From Kelly-Tummy Tuck-Breast Lift

Spectacular, it's a word you don't hear very often. It's the word Dr. Hynes used when he was telling me what to expect as the results of mastopexy and tummy tuck. I did some searching and research on my own--most through the internet. I saw a couple of other surgeons before I met Dr. Hynes. Two big keys for me were that his office, staff and his attitude were different than what I'd seen, and that he operated at Saint Joseph Medical Center, which was a comfort for myself and my husband. The moment I walked into his office I felt like his whole staff really cared about me, my results and my overall care.

At age 32 I have had 3 babes, two were 9 pounds. I am 5 feet tall. I decided to lose the extra weight and noticed the more I lost the more my breast and belly sagged. Then, I found out I had cervical cancer and a hysterectomy was needed. So, Dr. Hynes' staff really helped me find an ob/gyn at Saint Joseph that could see me and do the hysterectomy on the same morning as my tummy tuck and breast lift. "Wow! You and your staff really went beyond what you expect."
br /> I had all 3 surgeries done and have NEVER been happier with my body. I enjoy clothes shopping now. I am not limited to what style I can wear. It's such a feeling of freedom: No more control top anything.
br /> I feel Dr. Hynes is not just a skilled surgeon but an artist. I have seen photos of other women's breast after their mastopexy and every time I compare them, I am so glad I found and chose Dr. Hynes. I swear my breasts look better than I ever remember them looking. The tummy is great. I was so shocked to see my own ab muscles, they were just hidden under all that loose skin. Dr. Hynes gave me back to myself. I know the surgery is a considerable expense, but I believe sometimes the best investment you can make is in yourself. The surgery didn't change me or who I am...it's me only better. Which is SPECTACULAR!

From Michelle-Tummy Tuck/Breast Augmentation

Dr. Hynes,
I just wanted to thank you again for all the help you’ve been. I wanted you guys to know how happy I am with my new tummy and breasts. This has been an interesting path to a life changing event for me. I will constantly praise Dr. Hynes and his staff to anyone who wants to hear of the beautiful things he’s done for me! Thank you so much!”

From: Penni - Breast Augmentation

Dr. Hynes,
I want to thank you for giving me more self confidence. I’m usually alone at home feeling sad…and now I’m still at home alone, but my dream of having breasts has come true. I am truly pleased with how I look after getting out of the shower. I bought my first new bra from Victoria’s Secret and didn’t complain about the cost. Thanks so much for the flowers that was so thoughtful and totally unexpected. What an excellent choice I made in Drs and Dr. Hynes staff, you truly care about your patients!
Penni, one satisfied customer!

From Pam-Breast Augmentation

Dr. Hynes,
Just a sincere thank you for an excellent work done. You are an A1 surgeon! (but you already know that). I will definitely be sending a few friends your way. Thank you to your staff, Jerri, Kim and Tracy. You always made me feel comfortable and welcome. I’m a little sad that I only have one more follow-up appt. left to enjoy your company and great sense of humor. Thanks again for the new figure!"

From Fran-Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Hynes,
Just a note to tell you and your staff thank you again. The holidays were great it was fun buying new shirts and getting my picture taken, the new me. I hope this note finds you having a great new year. Again thank you so much! You have changed my life!

From Samantha-Breast Lift

Dr. Hynes,
You are a wonderful person for devoting your time and talent to changing lives in such drastic ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will never be forgotten!

From Mindy-Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Hynes, Kim, Jerri, Tracy
"Thank you for the beautiful Christmas flowers and basket. It definitely brightened my day after surgery. You all have been so nice and caring-just like family! Thank You!"

From Maureen-Breast Augmentation

Dr. Hynes and staff,
Thank you so much for giving me a body I’ve always dreamed of. It is hard to put into words how amazing it feels to look in the mirror and love what I see. Thank you, also, for answering all of my questions and making me feel completely taken care of.

From Kim-Breast Lift

Dear Dr. Hynes, Tracy, Jerri, Kim “Thank you for your excellent care during and after my recent breast surgery. The beautiful roses were a very nice surprise and brightened my recovery. May you all have a blessed 2008."
Sincerely, Kim

From Bev-Tummy Tuck

Dear Dr. Hynes
Even though it has been two years since my tummy tuck, I wanted to let you know how pleased I have been. In the beginning it seemed reasonable to wait to be sure of the results before writing you; time went by without actually doing it. The experience with you was most rewarding from the first encounter with your office to the finished surgery. It seemed you always had my interest at heart. Your expertise and knowledge were most helpful and appreciated. The only issue I had was you didn’t appreciate my humor! I wish you and your family a very joyous holiday season. Hope to see you one more time before you retire for some facial improvements. Unfortunately in the mean time there are other priorities taking precedence.
Sincerely, Bev

From Peggy-Tummy Tuck/Breast Augmentation

I had not had a flat stomach since I had my first child 37 years ago ... I combined 2 surgeries to save on cost and to have only one recovery time. I love to shop and trying on clothes is fun again. I would do the surgery all over again; I love feeling confident in myself again.

From Ann-Tummy Tuck

Dr. Hynes, The Tummy Tuck surgery has really increased my self esteem and my self confidence. For the past 10 years I had to wear baggy clothes to cover my abdomen. I never liked the way I looked. Now, I can wear form-fitting clothes and it is fun to go shopping again! I would definitely do it all over again!

From Kim-Tummy Tuck

Dear Dr. Hynes, I just wanted you to know how wonderful you all have been. From the moment I made my first phone call, I was treated with kindness that made me feel so comfortable. You guys all helped to answer any questions I had. I came in there not knowing how I was going to look in the end or if it was even going to be worth it because of my stretch marks. But after meeting with you I was absolutely positive I wanted to go through with my Tummy Tuck. You seemed so thorough and precautionary when it comes to the patient. I have several friends that have had it done that weren’t measured or fitted for sizes, didn’t use Ted hose, and weren’t offered Scarguard . I know every doctor is different, but all those little things are what made me so comfortable. I can also see now why the Pain Pump is such a success. I took very few pain pills the first couple of days, and by Monday I was pretty much pain free. I could not be any happier with my results! The work you do is Fantastic. I’m still like “WOW!” My husband is very pleased as well.The generosity of you and your staff is unbelievable and very much appreciated.

From Sara-Breast Augmentation

Thank you, Dr. Hynes and staff, for making me feel so comfortable during my recent consultation for a Breast Augmentation. I have wanted to see a Plastic Surgeon for a long time but felt too embarrassed. You were very sensitive to my feelings and you answered all my questions. I can’t wait for my surgery next month and to see the NEW ME!!

From Jean-Breast Augmentation

Before my surgery I was limited in the choices of clothing I could wear due to my small breasts. I felt self-conscious and 'out of style'. Now I buy more stylish clothes and I feel 'natural' and look great. Dr. Hynes had all the qualifications I required and he took time to answer all my questions.

From Maureen-Facial Procedure

After speaking with the helpful staff and Dr. Hynes, I felt confident I was making the best choice. I highly recommend Dr. Hynes and his staff because of the technology, experience, and overall well being for the patient.

From Don-Eyelid Surgery

I decided to “Freshen up my Facial Appearance” as I am still in the work stage of my life, AND in SALES! A good appearance is important to stay in the “game”. Unfortunately, the years (63) were beginning to reflect a NEGATIVE for me. I have taken the first step, My Eyes, and I plan to take the next step (s) to get rid of the wrinkles and complete the NEW ME!

From Jack-Liposuction

I wanted to let you know how fantastic and self-assured I feel since my recent liposuction. I had never felt comfortable with my body due to excessive “Love Handles”. At first I was apprehensive, but you made me feel comfortable and at ease. It was the best money I ever spent. I now have the body contour I always wanted but could never quite achieve with only exercise.

From Kathy-Facial Laser

The lines and wrinkles have been reduced tremendously! I feel really good and don't mind looking in the mirror now. It certainly made me feel better about myself. Recovery was a lot better than I expected. The first day I was uncomfortable but I only needed one pain pill. I would recommend this surgery to others as I feel so much better about myself.

From Phyllis-Facial Laser/Liposuction

I chose Dr. Hynes because I worked with him as a nurse at the hospital for many years ... I know his reputation and I knew I could trust his surgical skills. The laser ironed out my deep lines and wrinkles in my face and now I can wear my hair pulled back and not feel self-conscious. The Liposuction gave me a flat abdomen and I feel more comfortable about wearing form-fitting clothes. I no longer feel self-conscious... It is a great feeling!

From Alice-Facial Laser

I was unhappy with the wrinkles and skin discolorations that smoking and sun exposure had left in their wake but did not want an invasive procedure. I chose the facial laser resurfacing procedure because it was non-invasive and because the recovery time was much less than other procedures. I could not be happier with the NEW me! My skin has a much fresher, and I have a younger appearance.

From Lynn-Tummy Tuck/Liposuction

I had my Tummy Tuck 2 years ago and returned to Dr. Hynes this year to have Liposuction of my 'saddle bags'. Before my surgery my clothes didn't fit right and I felt ugly. Since the surgery, I feel so much more comfortable with my body and my overall outlook improved ... The surgery was a definite self esteem builder. After the Liposuction I was up on my feet in one day. It was uncomfortable but the reward was well worth it!

From Jennie-Hair Removal

This has been such an answer to prayer. I have been praying for years that the hair on my face would go away, and now it is! I have had to live with this all of my adult life. In high school, I started noticing more hair and in college is when it started affecting my self-esteem. I was in the Army for four and a half years. My biggest worry was not leaving my family, but what if I got hurt and could not pluck!

Before I came to have my hair removed, I was plucking three to four times a day. I would get up before my husband and run into the bathroom and pluck any hair that grew over night before he would wake up. I would also pluck again in the afternoon. I had to get rid of my five o'clock shadow.Then before we would go to bed, I would have to go into the bathroom and pluck again. I am sure no man wants to be married to a woman who has a thicker mustache and a fuller beard than he does!

I am so excited. I am now at the touch up phase of the hair removal. My husband is in Iraq and should be home in about a month. I cannot wait to let him touch my face for the first time ever!

I don't have to hide the bottom half of my face or turn away when he tries to talk to me close up anymore. I cannot remember if my husband and I have ever sat and looked into each other’s eyes in full day light.So now, in a month I can actually talk to my husband with all of the lights on and not be across the room from him.

I am so excited about his homecoming and my new face! I feel like a real woman for the first time in my life! Thank you.

From Maria-Laser Hair Removal

I am of Hispanic heritage and I have coarse unwanted dark hair. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Hynes. Dr. Hynes has the Sciton Laser and I have seen extreme progress in only 3 treatments. His staff used some numbing cream and the treatments weren't that uncomfortable. I really like the results.

From Nancy-Facial Injections

I had just passed my 40th birthday and I was starting to notice an increase in the lines on my face. I have a demanding job and didn't have time for major surgery. Dr. Hynes was very honest with me and said he could help diminish the wrinkles with injections of BOTOX and RADIESSE. I could see results before I left the office that day. I look more refreshed and I feel better about my appearance. The RADIESSE will last 3 to 5 YEARS! I have continued to return for BOTOX injections every 4 or 5 months.

From Connie-Facial Injections

I am approaching middle age and I thought I needed a face lift. During my appointment with Dr. Hynes he told me about RADIESSE (formerly called Radiance). He did the injections in the office and I love it! I got the result I wanted without the surgery and a long recovery time. He saved me a lot of money!

From Bev-Facial Injections

I had a few noticeable lines show up around my mouth. I talked to Dr. Hynes about 'filler injections'. He recommended RESTYLANE to me. It took 15 minutes to make my face more full around my lips and cheeks. It was amazing! There was slight bruising for a few days, but it was worth it. I would do it all over again!

From John-Eyelid Surgery

I had bags under my eyes and droopy skin above my eyes. Not only did I look years older than my age, but people always asked me if I was tired or not feeling well! I felt great and I was in good shape, but my droopy eyes said otherwise. After the surgery, surprisingly I had hardly any pain. I had some mild swelling and bruising but most of that was gone within 1 or 2 weeks. I still can’t believe the difference; it has been a great improvement! My wife loves the results, too; she will probably be next.

From Linda-Tummy Tuck/Breast Augmentation

Dear Dr. Hynes
"The ON-Q Pain Pump is AMAZING! I had both a Tummy Tuck and a Breast Augmentation at the same time and I used the Pain Pump for both surgeries. The pump literally made the pain a ‘non issue,’ making recovery much easier."

From Kelly-Tummy Tuck

Dear Dr. Hynes,
I also wanted to let you know that I owe a lot to Hynes Plastic Surgery. My tummy surgery has proven to be a huge boost to my confidence and I am wearing clothes I never could before. I am so pleased with it and the entire experience working with your team. I’m thinking of coming back for more! Please let everyone there know how great they are.
