You restored my faith in myself, gave me back my body, and allowed me to begin the healing process to recover from one of the most traumatic experiences a woman can endure.

Kathryn, 50-year-old breast cancer survivor

My decision to use you as my surgeon came easily. Once we met, I knew my search was over. You are an approachable, compassionate and skilled surgeon that I have total and complete confidence in.

You gave me hope and your surgical skills gave me a body that I am no longer ashamed of. I can dress up and feel like a woman again.

You helped to give me my life back.

Nancy, 53-year-old breast cancer survivor
 

My new breasts are just beautiful. They look like I grew them myself at
puberty. I had the usual misgiving about having cosmetic surgery. I
worried about whether I was just being silly and vain. I was concerned
about how it might impact my strength and participation in sports. I can
tell you now; I would have this surgery again in a heartbeat. Changing the size and shape of my breasts did not have anything to do with the "big boob" thing, but my body image was affecting my self-esteem, my behavior and my intimate relationship. A final note about the expense.

Over the last dozen years I've spent many thousands of dollars on clothes, trying to shore up my self-confidence about my looks. Of course, these outfits only give a transitory boost if anything at all, and eventually end up at the back of the closet or the Goodwill. A t-shirt now looks good and that's about all I need. Surgery was the best deal of my life.

Barb, 45-year-old breast augmentation and breast lift patient.

My life has changed dramatically since surgery. My health and self-esteem have improved. My training for a triathlon in the summer would have been impossible before. My friends and family comment almost every day about what a positive transformation I've undergone. I pinch myself every morning, I'm so happy with the result and wish the reduction had been done 25 years ago.

Rachel, 45-year-old breast reduction patient.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the way you treat me with respect, take time to listen and exude an approachable, far-from-condescending attitude. These attributes coupled with your talent yield a rare and valuable combination. Though the business of medicine no longer provides short-term incentive to those who take time to treat each patient, I believe strongly that your investment pays off not only for your patients, but for yourself, as well.

Melinda, 36-year-old submental liposuction patient.

My problem was sagging eyelids and bags under my eyes that made me look old and tired. Before the operation, I was given a clear and realistic description of all aspects of the procedure: the expense, the discomfort (mild) and the time to recovery. After the operation I experienced the meticulous care for which Dr. Sowder has become known. It was amazing to see how much improvement resulted from expert and gentle care.

Michael, 66 year old upper and lower blepharoplasty patient.


I want to thank you and your staff for being such an amazing support during
my recent surgery and recovery. Since my first time at your office until
now, your quality care has been exceptional and I appreciate all you do.
From Sarah’s smiles, to Jim’s jokes and Dr. Sowder’s exceptional work, your
thoughtfulness and expertise shows in everything you do!

Stacey, personal trainer and mother of three who underwent abdominoplasty and breast reduction.

It has been quite a journey, and I just want you to know how very much I
appreciate you, as well as your kind staff. This has been very worthwhile
and I have learned much through the process.

The part of my body that said I was ugly is quiet.
