"Dr. Barazza and his entire staff were WONDERFUL. They were super professional and made me feel some comfortable. I requested implants that looked natural and have been astounded at how great they look. My scars are almost gone and it hasn’t even been 3 months. I feel great and recovery was easy.

"Dr. Barraza was very informative. Told me exactly what to expect. The staff was wonderful. His nurses, Ashley and Lauren, took their time with me and answered all my questions. Including telling me things I had not thought of. It was a wonderful experience. 10 out of 10!"

"This is long overdue. When my daughter was 15 month she old, the tip of her thumb was smashed in a door. Dr. Barazza was the plastic surgeon on call. He was so kind and patient with my baby. Best of all, he did such a great job with her thumb, there was NO scar at all!!! Dr. Barazza is a talented plastic surgeon. I highly recommend him."
"My experience at the Face & Body Center was exceptional! Dr Barraza and his team tend to every detail professionally and with sincerity! I truly trust them with my care and always will."
"Wonderful Surgeon - Breast Lift with Implants - Let me start by saying Dr. Barraza is a wonderful surgeon and I would recommend him a thousand times! He truly cares about your well being and putting your best interest first. I saw Dr. Barraza a few years ago for my first breast lift consult(I was 23) but never moved forward with the procedure. Two years later and still unhappy, I decided to go back and just had my surgery a little over a month ago. The procedure was 100% worth it!! Procedure- I will start by saying I am 25 yrs old and had a Breast lift with implants(325cc each side). I had an idea of what I wanted the end results to look like and informed my surgeon I did not care to be huge, however, left the implants size and overall look in his hands. Sizes and results can look different to everyone but I trusted Dr. Barraza to choose the right fit for me, and he did just that! ...Your surgeon is there for a reason! I recommend letting them use their skills to do what fits you best!Now let me be honest about recovery- in the beginning it was HARD and for 2-3 weeks I had feelings of regret, however, I am now 7 weeks post-op and could not be happier that I went through with the procedure and I am very pleased with my results. TRUST your surgeon and give yourself time to heal before having an opinion on what they look like. He or she should have the professional skills to do what is right for you and your body type. Let me also say that it is VERY true and the more you get up and move the easier recovery will be. I started walking around the house a few hours after surgery."
"Dr.Barraza and staff were beyond amazing! From my first consultation to my final post op. They always seemed generally concerned for me and my well being throughout my entire surgical process. I waited years for a breast reduction and could have never imagined how great my results could be. These results have literally changed my life. I should have done it a long time. He has done the same procedure on myself, my mother and my sister. We will never use any other plastic surgeon. I recommend him to anyone and everyone. He and his staff are so caring and sweet and you can tell he takes pride in his work!"
"Highly recommended Dr. Barraza and staff! You feel like a patient and not just a number . I had my first big procedure with him and I am so happy with the results! His nurse , Ashley, is amazing. She called me back immediately with any questions that I had . She and Lauren were very helpful and kind. They make you feel very comfortable. Everyone from the front desk to check out were very helpful."

"27yo SRF-345cc Natrelle Inspira (A to C cup) - Hi friends! I’ve wanted boobs for the better part of a decade now to feel more feminine and balance out my extremely pear shaped figure.

"27yo SRF-345cc Natrelle Inspira (A to C cup) - Hi friends! I’ve wanted boobs for the better part of a decade now to feel more feminine and balance out my extremely pear shaped figure. During the consult, I liked the look of the 295cc sizers, but my doc convinced me to go a bit bigger, and so far I’m super glad I listened to him!End of day 1 post op and the pain is being well managed with Percocet. I definitely am bloating like crazy! My sides and ribs are super swollen and tender, so I hope that starts to feel better by tomorrow. My PS decided on 345cc HP. Will post progress pics in a couple of days! Updated on 18 Apr 2019:Woot! Made it to day 2 post op. Just experiencing a little soreness and stiffness, with mild bruising underneath both breasts (especially the left one). Got a little freaked out because I don’t see many breast aug pictures with bruising here and initially thought it was a hematoma! I had my post op appointment today and the nurse confirmed that it was just bruising and would fade within a few weeks. Phew! Feeling happy about my progress thus far. So happy to have joined this community. :)Updated on 20 Apr 2019:Today is post op day 4, and I feel fantastic! Was able to go shopping with my mom for three hours with no pain whatsoever. As you can see in the photos, they’ve dropped a bit compared to post op day 1. I’m really loving how they look already! Updated on 25 Apr 2019:Post op day 9, and feeling really amazing. They are definitely softening up a tad with the massages. My bruises are almost completely gone as well. Overall, extremely happy with how things are shaping (pun intended) up! Updated on 29 Apr 2019:These pics were taken 2 days ago. I couldn’t wait and put on my old bikini just to see the fit. It’s definitely tight but WOW I feel amazing! They’ve definitely dropped quite a bit, although my left one is a little bigger than the right one. :/Still super happy with the way that they’re turning out! I really am tired of wearing this compression bra. Did anyone else start wearing other sports bras or bralettes around week 2? "
"Love Dr. Barraza! He did a phenomenal job on my breast lift + tummy tuck. I had previously seen another physician in the area for a consult, but I felt more comfortable with Dr. B's experience and they even price matched the offer from the other doctor. Thank you so much, Dr. Barraza!!!"
"I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Barraza and the entire Face and Body Center staff I have encountered! They’re all extremely professional and very helpful. Dr. Barraza takes plenty of time with his patients discussing procedures and explaining all options. I truly felt like he treated me as he would his own wife/daughter. Very thankful for him and his wonderful nurses!"

"From beginning to end, The Face and Body Center went above and beyond my expectations! I went in for a BA consult in April of 2018 and by March 2019 I was finally ready to take the plunge and have the surgery. Dr. Barraza and his staff were amazing and they made the process so EASY!!! I was a nervous wreck the day of my surgery, but they were so calm, collected and professional that it was hard to worry! It was seriously a breeze. I can't wait to see the final results, but I know they're going to be great! I highly recommend Dr. Barraza!!!"

"I went in for surgery and had a small complication. My husband was on the phone with the doctor and he met us at the office the next morning at 6:00. It is nice knowing that he wanted to make sure I was cared for. I feel it is very few times that you are able to get hold of your doctor after hours and certainly not at 11:00 at night. Thanks to Dr. Barraza!"

"Met Dr. Barraza July 19, 2018. A very honest and professional Doctor. Well mannered and answered every question and concerns I had. I had been recommended by one of his previous patients who had gotten a BA done and she highly recommended him to me. I was not disappointed at all. He performed my breast augmentation surgery and I am beyond satisfied! My results are amazing and look so natural he did exactly what I had envision in my mind. At first I was kinda doubtful about the size but with his help and recommendations and his honest opinion he guided me to pick the size that fit me the most. Him and his staff are amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone who are looking to get any breast augmentation. You will not be disappointed."

He truly cares about the patients concerns and does his best to achieve the look the patient is after. He is somewhat conservative in the sense that he will not perform an unnecessary surgery on you if he did not think you'd be happy with the result-- which I found extremely comforting! Highly recommend Dr. Barraza!"

I could not be happier! He was so professional, gave recommendations, answered questions, and eased my nerves. He is the best! My nose is perfect and for the first time, I have so much confidence!! Thanks Dr. Barraza! You rock!!"
"I had a septorhinplasty from Dr. Barraza last week. I'm only 8 days into my recovery and I am thrilled! My nose was crooked, overprojected, and not functional for breathing. He made it perfect!

"I had skin cancer spread on my right cheek and in my ear lobe. I was expecting scars spreading all over. Dr. Barraza did a great job. He made one cut and removed all of them. You have to look hard to see any scar. I could not be more pleased with the procedure he did on me. Thanks"

"25 Years Old- 325cc - Jackson, MS - Dr. Barraza is very professional and straightforward, exactly my style. He took the time to answer any questions I had and is very kind."
"25 Years Old- 325cc - Jackson, MS - I had a great experience with Dr. Barraza and staff. I started out with small B's and have a very petite figure. During the consult, I told him that I wanted a good size but I didn't want huge, fake looking boobs. I got 325cc silicone gel implants, and they turned out absolutely perfect. They look natural and have a great look/feel. I couldn't be happier. Everyone from the check in to recovery nurse were fantastic. Recovery was easy- I was obviously sore but took the muscle relaxers for only a couple of days and then didn't feel like I needed them anymore. Overall, perfect experience. I would do it all over again without hesitation."
"The gold stand of physician care in any discipline. One of a kindness and class lost to history."
"Five Stars - Dr Barraza was the first dr to perform any surgery on my daughter who was born with a cleft lip & palate. He was wonderful with her & with us. She is 11 now & he is still her favorite dr & we look forward to him being able to do her nose job at 16!"

He suggested me doing a Reduction and a Lift. I was a D cup but when they would swell and hurt they would go up to a DD cup. Uuuuuugh, I hated them! They hurt so bad. My PS said the procedure wouldn't get ride of Fibrocystic Breast Disease but would def make a difference in them and Omgosh, was he right! He made me a B cup. I am so glad I went ahead with it. I feel so much better and they do not hurt like they use to (not counting they look much better, too!) Wish I could have done it years earlier. So happy with my results!"
"Dr. Barraza was very personable and accomplished exactly the look I wanted! Best surgeon in town!!"
"40 Y.o. Always Wore Push Ups-was Told by my Husband It Was "False Advertisement" - Jackson, MS - I have ALWAYS wanted to get a "Boob job" but I guess that is kind of like wanting to own instead of rent or have a Lexus instead of a beat up car. It was a DREAM. My husband are a poster for better/worse, richer poorer. I stayed with him through back surgery, hernia operation, etc. We have been so poor that I walked 4 miles to an interview with a skirt on and when I got the job (grocery store) I would walk to work, walk home at night with a couple bags of groceries, etc. He had someone from his job pick him up. He decided to open his own business and asked me to stand behind him and I did. He got it up and running and stood behind me while I went back to school. My daughter and I would do homework together, she was in middle school (4-5-6 grades) and I was in college. But I graduated with honors and now have my dream job of being a medical transcriptionist. I work with the Drs wife who has breast implants, a nurse who has implants and 2 others that have had reductions and one that wants a reduction. The other ladies say they will get implants after they have their kids. Well, my daughter is now a junior in high school. I told my husband that things were almost perfect, now, if only I had boobs. His response shocked me: i would love for you to have boobs but if something went wrong in surgery, i would never forgive myself and never be able to look our daughter in the face knowing I paid for that to happen.....well, i told him how common the procedure is and he said how much? I got 2 quotes and he told me to do my research and find a good Dr. I did. he said he would pay. THAT WAS A SURPRISE. I was thinking he would pay 1/2 or say for Christmas, but he said birthday/Christmas as I asked the week of my birthday. So, I had mine done in Jackson, MS by Dr. Barraza. He and his staff were great. I went in with a padded 34B (probably actually an A) and told him I wanted to be a full C. Whatever he had to do to get that result. I got Saline under the muscle 350 in the right and 375 in the left....something about asymmetry. When I woke up, I was DEVASTATED-I had no more than when I came in, maybe smaller!?!? I went home and slept and when my husband came home, He was furious and told me to get ready to go back and have it done again and have it done right. I promised I would call on Monday-this was Friday night. I went back to sleep and woke up at 10p.m. and OMG! I had these huge rocks on my chest! I don't know what was wrong to begin with if it takes a little while to fill or what, but WOW! Anyway, I didn't call, when I went to my po...i was happy. I completely fill a 36B and need a 34 but the store didn't have one and have extra hanging out. I may be a small D when it is all said and done. I'm in week 5 now, ready for them to drop and fluff. They are still a little high but the swelling has gone down. I came back to work on Monday, a little sore but better that night. Dr. said don't wear a bra at home so hopefully gravity will help them drop so that is what I do. He said massage them daily, I do this as well..but they seem to be happy where they are sitting!.. I have posted lots of comments, but this is the first chance I've had to get my story out. I'll post more as time goes. Hope everyone is happy with their new Boobie!! Good Luck to all!! :-)Updated on 21 Aug 2014:And when we went on vacation if I was ever in doubt..no more. My 16 year old daughter filled out and looked better in my bathing suit than I did. Proud for her but very embarrassing for me.Updated on 26 Aug 2014:Should say fill and fall out of 36C.not B"
