"I had an explant implant removal with capsulectomy, breast lift, and fat graft for breast reconstruction. I chose Dr. Burns due to his excellent reviews on this particular type of surgery, knowing that I wanted to be in the most capable and trustworthy hands. Dr. Burns is gifted in both delicate explant surgeries and reconstruction with fat grafting, providing natural results. If you are a person who is looking for implant removal due to suspected breast-implant sickness, or simply because you no longer want synthetic objects in your body, you can rely on Dr. Burns to safely and carefully implement this type of surgery. For those considering fat-grafting over implants, you will not be disappointed. Dr. Burns was able to reconstruct symmetrical and natural results, without having to reinstate implants. On a personal note: I feel and look better, and I have incredible peace of mind knowing my body no longer has the weight and risk of implants. Professional service, wonderful, attentive ...
staff, and safe, beautiful results, thank you! "

"Dr. Burns has been second to none! His attention to detail and calm demeanor made me feel confident that he would give me the update I was looking for. Post surgery one week and I am overwhelmed with the outcome so far. I am 51 and feel like once the swelling goes down I am going to look better than I did at 30! His talent exceeded my expectations! I had breast explant, breast lift, fat transfer, and blepharoplasty ( eyelids) . His office staff is so warm and kind, the surgery center staff was as well. I can’t wait to refer them. I was expecting a stuffy north Dallas office and found everyone to be the opposite. Everyone has been very humble, discreet, and caring. Stop looking. This is the right place! "
