I had such a great experience from start to finish with my breast augmentation. Dr. Polynice is truly an amazing surgeon—he gave me exactly what I wanted, and the results are even better than I imagined. My breasts look so natural and beautiful, and they’re everything I hoped for. The healing process was smooth, recovery was easier than I expected, and I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. Everyone in the office was so kind and welcoming, especially Carly—she was incredible throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions, made sure I felt comfortable, and was so supportive and responsive from the beginning through post-op care. Dr. Polynice is not only incredibly skilled, but he really listens and makes you feel completely at ease. I’m so grateful for the entire experience and would recommend him and his team to anyone!

I am so glad that I found Dr. Polynice. I have had several procedures with other plastic surgeons and Dr. Polynice has been the best by far for MANY reasons. He listened to all of my goals for the procedure and what I hoped to achieve. Not only did he patiently answer all of my questions, but he took his time in explaining his approach and plan for the entire surgery during my consultation. Carly, his patient care coordinator is unbelievably kind, thorough and helps you through the scheduling, entire pre and post operative process and makes you feel very cared for and answers all of your questions. I was of course nervous to have liposuction & skin tightening of my thighs because not only is it an area that I feel very self conscious about but I had never had liposuction before. Dr. Polynice has incredible skills, experience and precision when it comes to surgery. I had my procedure done under local, and the entire OR team made me feel comfortable and taken care of the whole time. Dr. Polynice explained what he was doing during the entire procedure and the pain was so minimal I couldn't believe it! In my experience many surgeons do not take the time to check in on you after the actual procedure. Dr. Polynice really exceeded all of my expectations by calling me the night of my procedure to make sure I was feeling okay, if I was experiencing any pain and if I had any other questions. I really felt like if I needed anything at all I was supported and you don't always receive that kind of care with other doctors. Carly checked on me the next morning as well and I just really felt cared for throughout the entire process! I am early in my recovery but I already can tell my thighs look smaller, and I am really looking forward to the skin tightening which will continue to take effect over the next few months!!

I was so nervous when considering surgeons because I wanted someone who I felt listened to me and my concerns about my body and the surgery itself. Getting a breast reduction and lift by Dr. Polynice was the best decision I have made and I’m so pleased 2 weeks post op with the results. And I trust that Dr. Polynice and his staff specifically Torrey and Carly are there for me 100% through the healing process! Entire process from consultation to post op appointments have been easy. So grateful, I feel like a happier, lighter version of myself. I recommend this office and doctor to anyone who is even considering surgery! Amazing experience.

I could not recommend Dr. Polynice more for anyone looking for an explant and redo. I had 10 year old implants and came to see Dr.Polynice because one of them just wasn't feeling right, and my left breast animated when my chest muscles were flexed. He explained very clearly that he could fix the majority of the animation and replace them with new implants, including a lift. When I stated I had never wanted implants this large to begin with, rather than pushing me to replace them, he asked if I even wanted them replaced at all. That question allowed me to answer that question for myself and I decided yes I did want them replaced, and with smaller implants. He ordered several sizes and the day of surgery he removed my implants, one had ruptured, and replaced them with smaller, softer implants. He completely resolved the animation! The results are beautiful breasts that look completely natural and are soft to the touch. Recovery was a breeze and working with his staff has been a wonderful experience.

I had the best experience with Dr. Polynice and their team! From the very first consultation, I felt heard, supported, and completely at ease. They took the time to answer all my questions, explain everything in detail, and make sure I felt confident in my decision. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was easier than I expected, thanks to their amazing care. I feel lighter, healthier, and so much more like myself again. Choosing to do this was a big decision, but I’m so glad I trusted Dr. Polynice they are truly incredible at what they do. If you’re considering an explant and lift, I can’t recommend them enough!”
