Inside Information
FULL-SERVICE CARE
Dr. Baxter was recognized as “Western Washington’s Favorite Plastic Surgeon” by voters on King5.com, the online counterpart to the local affiliate KING 5 News, but his patients come from across the country as well as the Seattle area. Dr. Baxter enters surgery with a three-dimensional image of results he would like to achieve. “I have an artistic foundation to rely on, which can be as important as surgical techniques. My goal is to achieve aesthetic balance as it relates to what my patients want.” Moreover, Dr. Baxter developed his own methods for several surgical procedures. For example, when performing breast surgeries, Dr. Baxter particularly finds conventional breast augmentation techniques limited. “Above all else, I don’t want my results to look artificial.” To achieve natural results, Dr. Baxter prefers what he calls “split sub-pectoral augmentation,” keeping part of the implant underneath the muscle.
