Dennis Hammond, M.D.

Dr. Hammond has forever changed my life. I've wanted a breast reduction since junior high, and finally after all these years I finally sought out a surgeon. He and his staff made me feel extremely comfortable with the entire process. He was thorough in explaining the type of procedure he performs, right down to the type of stitching, and the reasons why. Now, three months post surgery, I cannot be happier with my results. Dr. Hammond is fantastic! Do your research, and you will find that he is the best option around.

I saw Dr. Hammond for a bilateral breast reduction, and it was the best decision I have ever made. The reduction finally made me look proportional, and all of my symptoms (neck pain, back pain, headaches) resolved immediately. Surgery was nearly pain free, and I was back to work in a week. As a fellow surgeon, I am extremely impressed by my final result, and I believe his technique is the best surgical approach to breast reduction. Highly recommend.

Dr. Hammond did the most fantastic reconstructive surgery on me post breast cancer. I had breast cancer back in 2006 waited until 2007 and 2008 for my Mastectomies. I had reconstruction three times prior to Dr. Hammond. I had also seen numerous Drs. in west Michigan. None of the other Drs. would touch me including my original plastic surgeon that did my first three reconstructions. Dr. Hammond took one look at me and knew exactly how to make me look normal again. I never thought I could step out of my shower and see myself and not see breast cancer staring at me. Dr. Hammond has done that for me! I can not say enough about what an outstanding Dr. he is. He is the best plastic surgeon you will ever find!! Thank you, Dr. Hammond!!!❤ufe0f

I highly recommend Dr. Hammond and his staff!nI met with Dr. Hammond after receiving what I believe, was a horrible botched DMX job at another practice. I was in the throes of a Breast Cancer nightmare and Dr. Hammond was kind, he listened (actually listened). Most of all, Dr. Hammond and his staff gave me hope that I would be ok. He did a fantastic job of not only repairing damage done by the prior surgeon, but going out of his way to create beauty out of the chaos of my DMX. He reconstructed and repaired both my body and my faith in surgeons. He truly is an artist. I cannot say thank you enough to Dr. Hammond and his staff for being so wonderful in one of the most dark and scary times in my life. THANK YOU x a million Dr. Hammond!

I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan area. When I was looking to have plastic surgery I did some research online of the local plastic surgeons regarding the work I was looking to have done. Although there were many great plastic surgeons in the area, I chose Dr. Dennis Hammond. My procedures were abdomnioplasty, and breast augmentation following weight loss and 2 child births. After reviewing pictures, articles and studies by Dr. Hammond on these procedures I felt confident in my decision.nnMy breast augmentation was an over the muscle smooth implant on both sides. Recovery was not too bad, but I suspect it's because my implants are over the muscle.nnMy procedure was done in November 2017. My breast augmentation was an over the muscle smooth implant on both sides. Recovery was not too bad, but I suspect it's because my implants are over the muscle.nSince then I have had a few modifications to the breast augmentation, but this is due to another medical issue that Dr. Hammond has been trying to get perfected for me. Each recovery not really requiring loss of work, just modification in exercise routine, etc. Dr. Hammond has been incredibly patient and kind through the process.nnRegarding the abdomnioplasty it is important to examine your post procedure goals. Are you looking to just have a flat tummy and keep it at that, or are you looking to continue any kind of fitness goal? Recovery for the abdomnioplasty isn't pleasant, but it is manageable and Dr. Hammond and his team do a great job of being sure your pain is under control with regular check ups and phone calls. Once recovery was complete I restarted my fitness routine. My fitness goals are ever changing, but as of late I have been powerlifting for a little while. I have found no disruption in this fitness goal related to either of my surgeries. I can lift very heavy (requiring a very strong core) which is important to remember when the abdomnioplasty is muscle repair with stitches being used. I have had no issues with muscle tears or stitches, etc. with any of my lifts. It has been impressive!nnNext question is usually about scarring. Scarring has been minimal for the abdomnioplasty. It's very hard to tell there is a scar when I am in a bikini. Breast augmentation scarring I would imagine depends on the type of augmentation you get done. ie: was it a lift and implant, just an implant, etc. that being said, scarring still is minimal due to the type of suture Dr. Hammond uses. Healing is a clean process and easy to manage.nnI would recommend Dr. Dennis Hammond and his team for your plastic surgery needs. He is thorough and continues to care about your recovery and continued satisfaction with the results.
