Reviews for Saint Petersburg, FL Plastic Surgery Dr. John O'Brien Breast Reduction Procedures

Wanted a breast reduction for years but was always afraid - Dr O’Brien was very professional and personable. I have wanted a breast reduction for years but was always afraid. When I met Dr O’Brien he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Dr O’Brien explained everything in detail on what he was going to do and advised how much better I would feel. He was right! I feel great and my breasts look fantastic!. I am so happy with the outcome. My husband said he is an artist. His nurse Ana was always at my side making me feel comfortable and explained everything step by step before surgery. She was a great help! His office staff are all very nice and the office runs smoothly like clock work. I would highly recommend Dr O’Brien as I’mA very happy patient!Thank you!Renee G More

Excellent experience & results! Replaced 18-year-old saline breast implants - I highly recommend Dr. O'Brien. I had a to replace my 18 year old saline breast implants due to a rupture in one of the implants. During the initial consultation his years of experience was evident as he was extremely knowledgeable and informative about all of the options available to me and the best solution for me and my body. All of the staff I encountered on the day of the surgery and consultations before an after we so nice and comforting. Recovery after the procedure was much easier than I had anticipated and I could not be happier with the results. I will definitely choose Dr. O'Brien again for any cosmetic surgery I may need. More

Dr. John O’Brien did the absolute best job on my breast augmentation!!! I was soooo nervous about picking the correct plastic surgeon for me and the look I was going for, I went to a bunch of different plastic surgeons consultations before meeting with dr. O’Brian, after my consultation I knew immediately he was the surgeon for me. He really paid attention to what I wanted and took everything I said into account and making sure I had the best experience and giving me exactly what I was looking for! he did the best job and I could not recommend him anymore!!!!

I had surgery for breast reduction on June 20, 2023. Dr. O’Brien and his staff are outstanding. The Surgical Center and overall infection control was superior. Dr. O’Brien is an outstanding surgeon and the follow up care was excellent and I felt very well cared for during the entire surgical experience. His staff is well trained and very kind and helpful. As a retired nursing educator I have very high standards and Dr. O’Brien is the kind of surgeon who I would highly recommend to anyone contemplating surgery. I am thankful that my research led me to select Dr. O’Brien as my surgeon. More

Dr. O'Brien and his staff are phenomenal. After thinking about a breast augmentation for a long time, I finally booked a consultation with Dr. O'Brien, and I knew immediately that I had made the right choice. Having the statistics to show that he is experienced is all well and good, but he also has this way about him that seems like he's seen it all, and it comes off in a calm, honest, and unfazed manner. Every question and concern I've had before and in the 9 months following surgery, have been addressed promptly and with care. I've also had a facial and some broadband light therapy done by Dana. She is such a sweet, caring, wonderful person. Ana treats my young daughter like a celebrity when I bring her in for my follow up appointments. She really is just a bright light, I can't think of a better way to describe it. I trust them and couldn't imagine going anywhere else! I'd not only recommend them, I'll rave about them! More

Dr. O’Brien and his staff are amazing!! Professional and friendly, with not a hint of judgement. I chose him because of his impressive credentials, and the all important pictures of his previous work. I went for a breast reduction and felt at a loss to tell him what I wanted. I just knew I wanted smaller. After speaking with him, I was comfortable that he seemed to know just what would work best for my body type and what I wanted to achieve. All of the staff really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable - Katie in particular was my go to girl for questions. That has been about a year ago now and I am still surprised by how minimal the scarring is and how quickly I recovered. I could not be happier with the results!! My only regret is that I didn’t do it years ago! More

I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the excellent care I received from Dr. O'Brien and his staff. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and genuine in their concern for my well-being and overall health. I am a 60-year-old woman feeling more comfortable in my body than I have in decades. This after breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. O'Brien. I am very happy with the results, and confident in my recommendation to anyone seeking high-quality surgical care. Cathy Waldo More

5 stars is definitely not enough for such an amazing surgery center. I cannot stress how happy I am with my decision to go with Dr. O’Brien for my breast augmentation!! I had met with many other plastic surgeons and each and everyone of them seemed very self-absorbed and would tell me exactly what they had planned for my breasts without even asking me FIRST what I would like and I was not a fan of that. Before making my consultation, I spoke a lot on the phone and emailed back and forth with Erin Blackburn, who is an absolute sweetheart, and she helped me out by answering all the questions I had for her. They fit me in for a consultation fairly quick, compared to other surgeons in the area, and I fell in love with the atmosphere! Not only was Dr. O’Brien very helpful in answering my surgery-related questions, but he genuinely wanted to know what I wanted so that he could provide that for me. He informed me of many different approaches to breast augmentations and explained to me the pros and cons of each one and told me his opinion on how I should proceed but also encouraged me to research on my own since it is a decision that affects MY body and not his. I felt heard when so speaking with him. He was not self-absorbed AT ALL, which is rare in surgeons. Not only was he amazing, but so is his staff! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and makes you feel and more excited about your upcoming procedure. They respond so quickly and are always on top of everything. One other thing that I liked about this location is that they accept Care Credit- for the deposit AND the surgery itself, which definitely helps a lot financially. I just recently got my breast augmentation done by Dr. O’Brien and the day I saw the results, I was in shock. They were everything I had ever wanted and more. Most people don’t like the look of their breasts directly after surgery because it takes a few weeks to a few months for the breasts to fall and look more natural, but I loved them a day after.. so I can’t even imagine how much I’ll love them in a few more weeks or months. I just want to thank Dr. O’Brien and his staff once again for giving me a wonderful experience and a pair of tatas that I will love forever!! My confidence has boosted dramatically since my procedure and I couldn’t be happier with the result. More

I already left a review before my surgery. This one is postoperative :-) My breast augmentation was a complete success, as I knew it would be. The "girls" look amazing for a 62 year old woman <wink wink>. I am so happy with the outcome. I had little to no pain the day of the surgery and just a little tightness around the stitches the day after. I highly recommend this surgeon and his staff for any procedure that you wish to have - they are truly amazing!!! More

Dr. O’Brien and his team are kind, knowledgeable and professional. I have nothing but good to say about the office and the people. My surgery was affordable, the after care was excellent the follow up encouraging. I’ve also started seeing the Esthetician, Dana. She is gentle, skilled, and super helpful. She knows her equipment and products well. She’s made excellent suggestions when I was interested in new skincare, she had samples I could try (I’m really weird about textures of products) I’m so happy with her recommendations. More

I could not be happier with the results! - John O’Brien performed my breast reduction on March 4th, 2021, and I could not be happier with the results!! I have wanted this surgery for years, and I am so glad I went through with O’Briens team! It’s such an intimate procedure, but I felt comfortable immediately after waking into The St. Petersburg Center for Plastic surgery. I had giant breasts, measuring around a 34 H/I. I was so uncomfortable both physically, and from the stares my chest attracted on my 5 foot 4, 140 pound frame. I had daily shoulder pain and I had to special order my bras (which always left huge indents in my skin). I have wanted a breast reduction for about 5 years, but i needed to save up money (I had bad insurance that didn’t cover if). I love Dr. O’Brien and his staff. I’m always greeted kindly by Nicole in the office. She is so accommodating to any concerns/ questions I have. And I usually get the wonderful nurse Ana, and Medical assistant /surgical technologist Katie! I love them! So knowledgeable and such great people! I love my results. I wasn’t worried about scarring, but my scars are fading so quickly! I’m actually somewhere around a c/d cup, and I have NO more shoulder/neck and back pain! My breasts are beautifully lifted, perfectly round, and my nipples are placed gorgeously! I couldn’t be happier!!!!! Seriously, got to John O’Brien for your breast surgery! I couldn’t recommend him or his office more! More

Sientra Opus Implants - 32A to 32DD/32DDD - 47 years old 121lbs - I wanted to share my story and experience with my breast augmentation in the hope it will help others make an informed decision about whether or not to go ahead with it. I was never a busty lady even when I was significantly overweight. Having lost about 45lbs over the years, my chest pretty much disappeared.... I actually waited a few years to make sure my weight remained stable and after 2.5 years, I decided to go ahead and get the surgery. I am very detail orientated, did a lot of research into different implant types etc. and decided to use Dr. John J. O'Brien here in St. Petersburg based on reviews, and website photos. I was very specific about the types of implants I wanted - Sientra gummy bear implants - and he was one of the only surgeons in the area that worked with this brand. I spoke with several surgeons but the other two were not a "hell yes" for me which was basically a "no". Words to live by - trust your own inner guidance. I will update my review in stages as I have a ton of photos. I am over a month post-op now.... back to business. I actually recovered very quickly - maybe between weeks 3 and 4? More to come! But this is what I started off at (see pics) More

Nothing but absolutely great things to say about Dr. O’Brien and his team! I received a breast augmentation with a &#34;donut lift&#34; and I could not be more happy. Dr. O’Brien really listened to what I wanted, that was to look as natural as possible and they look amazing :) I am now 6 months post op and would trust Dr. O’Brien and his staff with any procedure he offers. I also got a facial done and it amazing as well, very knowledgeable and friendly staff! I feel very lucky to have found this office and will be back! More

I did my research and visited many plastic surgery doctors in Clearwater and Dr. John O’Brien was my favorite. And did a mommy make over, tummy tuck, breast augmentation and Lipo with Dr. O’Brien and he did an AMAZING job. I Love it!!!! He is really nice, caring and very talented. The staff were amazing Anna and Mary. When I went for surgery that day all the medical staff were very kind and I felt really taken care of. More

I am so happy I chose Dr. O'Brien for the removal of my 11-year old breast implants and capsulectomy. He is honest and caring, and helped me feel at ease throughout the whole process. The results of my surgery are even better than I could have imagined. His staff is wonderful and having the procedure done at his in-house surgical center exceeded my expectations for comfort and personalized care. I'm so happy I went through with this surgery, something I contemplated for years, and that I chose Dr. O'Brien and his team. More

I am very happy I chose Dr. O’Brien for my breast augmentation. He was very personable and a great surgeon. He didn’t have all the bells and whistles that another surgeon did when I went for a second consultation but I got a better overall vibe from Dr. O’Brien. He gave me exactly what I asked and was looking for and his staff was very friendly. I would return in the future. I highly recommend. More

Thank you for updating my old body and making me feel pretty!! More

Dr. O'Brien and his staff are amazing!!! I came in for a breast augmentation, I went from a B to a D. I got exactly what I asked for and couldn't be happier with the results! I was made to feel very comfortable during the entire process, all my needs and questions were addressed and everything I was told was completely accurate with no surprises. I would recommend Dr. O'Brien very highly to anyone interested in breast augmentation. More

I am no stranger to plastic surgery, and have had several procedures done on my body over many years, both invasive and non-invasive (breast reduction, augmentation, liposuction, botox, coolsculpting, etc.), but I was afraid to do anything to my face. I'd had an accident in my 20s that left one eyebrow much lower than the other, and my eyelids both looked heavy, prompting people to ask me all the time if I was tired. I started looking into what I could do to improve the tired appearance and level out my eyebrows in November 2018. I met with Dr. O'Brien as part of that, and he made several suggestions about what I could do, such as a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty, but he also did not pressure me to do anything. In addition, I asked about ultherapy, another non-invasive treatment. Dr. O explained that I was not a candidate for the treatment because I have a pacemaker, and he would not even consider it (which I respect and appreciate). So I stuck with Botox for the time. I did look into a few other local surgeons in St. Pete. I was frustrated that their websites lacked information about the most modern ways to perform the procedures, and when I tried to reach out to some of them, I either could not get through, didn't get a response, or if I did get a response, it was like I was an inconvenience. It was no question that I was going back to talk to Dr. O'Brien. My husband had been very against my doing anything to my face, and when I told him I was considering the brow lift and blepharoplasty suggested by Dr. O'Brien, he agreed to at least come with me to the 2nd consult (mostly to try to talk me out of it). Once we got there, Dr. O explained the entire process to both of us, and answered all the questions my husband had. One of our concerns was that I would look overdone or have that "duck face" look. Dr O'Brien explained how I would really look like myself, just more awake with better symmetry, and that is exactly what happened. I had a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty in his beautiful and comfortable surgical center in St Pete. I had laser resurfacing at the same time, and my skin looks beautiful. The follow-up care with Dr. O'Brien and his staff was spectacular. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and they entire staff works together to make sure I can maintain my results. I strongly recommend Dr. O'Brien to anyone who is considering a plastic surgery procedure. More

I highly recommend Dr. O'Brien to anyone considering plastic surgery. I visited several doctors during my search and none of them compared to Dr. O'Brien. We were greeted warmly, listened to, treated with respect and dignity and I never felt pressured or rushed. Dr. O'Brien made me feel at ease and always went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. I had breast augmentation and could not be happier with the results! Dr. O'Brien is amazing! Thank you! More

I am no stranger to plastic surgery, and have had several procedures done on my body over many years, both invasive and non-invasive (breast reduction, augmentation, liposuction, botox, coolsculpting, etc.), but I was afraid to do anything to my face.  I’d had an accident in my 20s that left one eyebrow much lower than the other, and my eyelids both looked heavy, prompting people to ask me all the time if I was tired.  I started looking into what I could do to improve the tired appearance and level out my eyebrows in November 2018.  I met with Dr. O’Brien as part of that, and he made several suggestions about what I could do, such as a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty, but he also did not pressure me to do anything.  In addition, I asked about ultherapy, another non-invasive treatment.  Dr. O explained that I was not a candidate for the treatment because I have a pacemaker, and he would not even consider it (which I respect and appreciate).  So I stuck with Botox for the time.  I did look into a few other local surgeons in St. Pete.  I was frustrated that their websites lacked information about the most modern ways to perform the procedures, and when I tried to reach out to some of them, I either could not get through, didn’t get a response, or if I did get a response, it was like I was an inconvenience.  It was no question that I was going back to talk to Dr. O’Brien.  My husband had been very against my doing anything to my face, and when I told him I was considering the brow lift and blepharoplasty suggested by Dr. O’Brien, he agreed to at least come with me to the 2nd consult (mostly to try to talk me out of it).  Once we got there, Dr. O explained the entire process to both of us, and answered all the questions my husband had.  One of our concerns was that I would look overdone or have that &#34;duck face&#34; look.  Dr O’Brien explained how I would really look like myself, just more awake with better symmetry, and that is exactly what happened. I had a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty in his beautiful and comfortable surgical center in St Pete.  I had laser resurfacing at the same time, and my skin looks beautiful.

Dr. O'Brien, You have changed my life completely. Not only have you helped me get back on the road to good health, but you made me beautiful in the process. Words are not enough to express my appreciation! More

Great experience with this surgeon and his staff. I was well-taken care of from the very beginning through today at 4-months post-op. I am also very very happy with the results of my breast augmentation. Highly recommend Dr. O'Brien. More

Wonderful experience and results! - I was referred to Dr. O’Brien by my sister after she had a great experience with him and his staff for her breast augmentation procedure. From my very first breast augmentation consultation, through my procedure and follow-up visits Dr. O’Brien and his staff were wonderful. They took the time to answer my questions and explain to me the process and procedure. After the procedure Dr. O’Brien personally called me (on Friday night and Saturday) to check-in and make sure I was doing well. I am extremely happy with the results of my procedure and would highly recommend him! Thanks again Dr. O’Brien and the entire staff!! More

Best Plastic Surgeon in St.Petersburg - My fiance and I decided to give each other plastic surgery for Christmas instead of a trip this year. My fiance, who is extremely picky, is also a physician and already knew of Dr. O'Brien's quality of work. He had decided that he wanted to get a partial face lift. I had been to Dr. O'Brien before and had good results, so I decided to get breast augmentation. Dr. O'Brien was very accommodating on scheduling around our busy schedules and the holidays. We had our surgeries about a month apart, and are both healing well. I have heard many people say that the best Plastic Surgeons in the bay area can only be found in Tampa, or even further away... Miami. This is so NOT true, and the prices here are way more competitive than in those areas. If a physician (who has professional knowledge of others in this business) would choose this physician to work on himself, it says a LOT! It is sometimes difficult to find a doctor that you like as well as the office staff. EVERYONE at this office...from surgery coordinator (Kristen), post-surgical (Katie), as well as his entire office and OR staff... was friendly, caring, punctual, and professional. They all clearly love their jobs... and their boss. We are both very happy with our results! More

Dr John and his entire staff are absolutely the best. Very professional, yet very down to earth. From the first call to schedule the consultation to the day of surgery!! I have waited about 6 yrs or longer to have breast augmentation and I couldn’t be happier with my results. My nurse the day of surgery was OUTSTANDING as well as the nurse who saw me for my follow up visits.... absolutely wonderful and highly skilled group of professionals who made me feel very comfortable fr… See more More

55 Years Old and Time for Ta-tas!! - Saint Petersburg, FL - One month prior to my 55th birthday I underwent my first cosmetic surgery- breast augmentation. While this may seem to be an interesting choice during middle age I thought it is never too late! While I researched my options prior to meeting with Dr. O'Brien and his team, I truly appreciated the amount of time he spent with me discussing pros and cons and finding the right fit for me! During each subsequent appointment he is always patient and generous with his time. His team- Katie, Jennifer, Becky and Kristen are always gracious, helpful and kind! I have never waited more than one minute to be escorted to an exam room. Dr. O'Brien and his team were accessible from beginning to end and I always knew that I was in good hands! I am a physician and I truly appreciate his finely honed skills and his gentle bedside manner! I highly recommend Dr. O'Brien and his practice if you are considering breast augmentation- 4 months after my procedure I am thrilled with the results! More

Dr. O'Brien, his entire staff, his knowledge, his expertise and professionalism is top-notch. I was a little apprehensive about having cosmetic surgery, however, from the very first moment I walked into the office, I was comfortable and relaxed. I knew exactly what to expect before, during and after my procedures. His office performs a number of cosmetic/plastic surgeries, along with injections, facials and more. Trust Dr. O'Brien if you are thinking about any kind of beautification procedures, procedures for corrections,....or if you just want to find out what he can do to enhance your natural beauty! More

24 Year old breast augmentation - After doing my research and meeting a handful of different doctors who did breast augmentations in the St. Pete area I decided to go with Dr. O'Brien. He was incredibly professional and informative. I have a small frame and had very small breast to begin with. What I liked most about Dr. O'Brien was that he didn't just want to put oversized implants in me to give me big boobs. He wanted me to go with what fit my body most and would look most "natural". In the end I went with medium profile 330cc silicon breast implants and am so happy I did! For a girl who stands 5'3 and weights 115lbs they look proportional and natural. I love to keep people guessing if they are real or not! More

Much Needed Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Saint Petersburg, FL - If you expect the BEST, then your search is over! I had been contemplating getting a breast reduction for a number of years, my bra size was 36 J (try finding bra that size!) and a tummy tuck, but ultimately kept putting the surgery on the back burner. Even though I was unhappy with the appearance of my breasts and abdomen (after having two children), I didn't want to take 'the easy way out' and resort to surgery. For more than three years I hit the gym...hard. Yes, my appearance did improve, but ultimately, there is only so much that diet and exercise can achieve. From consultation to post op care, Dr. O’Brien and his staff (Katie, Jennifer, Kristin) are there 24/7. November 10, 2015 was my surgery and I seriously can't believe how great I look!! This operation has without a doubt boosted my self-esteem immensely! If you are considering any cosmetic procedure I would highly recommend Dr. O’Brien as his attention to detail is incredible! Thank you Dr. O’Brien and the entire staff, you have given me a gift no one else could! More

I had breast augmentation in my twenties because I was very unevenly sized. The original implants were not stellar, but acceptable. After 30+ years they became very contracted, hard and uncomfortable. I had the old implants and scar tissue removed and replaced as well as some reconstructive work on my right breast. The results were excellent and my breasts look and feel better now than they did the first time. More

30 Yr. Old Ruptured Implants Removed and Replaced - St. Petersburg, FL - I had a breast augmentation 30 yrs. ago. Both implants were ruptured. I consulted with Dr. O'Brien, who has done other procedures over the past five years, who gave me several options, I decided to replace the implants with the "gummy implants". Beautiful, couldn't be happier. I have used Dr. O'Brien for botox and fillers, he always does these himself, the reason I keep going back. He always offers many options and suggestions, but listens to what your ultimate needs are. More

Dr. O'Brien and his staff are professional, friendly and very helpful. My surgery went great, I'm very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brien to anyone who wants plastic surgery done right. More
