Facelift Results · Gillian Institute

“I had a bilateral brachioplasty at the Gillian Institute on 10/15/26. Dr. Kim Short, Jackie, and the rest of the team have provided me with consistently informative, caring, and high quality care since the start. Dr. Short is a perfectionist, and my results just 6 days post op had me in happy tears! I'm experiencing normal post op swelling so I can't imagine just how wonderful my arms will look when I'm fully recovered as I'm already so pleased with them. I appreciate the research behind the care too. I've had non-opioid pain management and oxygen therapy that have made my recovery smooth and quite easy. I've had such a wonderful experience that I'm considering a second procedure with Dr. Short. I've lost 135 pounds in the last 3 years and Dr. Short has delivered the skin removal results better than I'd dreamed. I'm so very grateful!”

“Been getting VI peels here with great results! My skin type is Fitzpatrick V. Just went in today to get a third VI precision plus peptides peel on my face. They have truly helped to clear up my hyperpigmentation. Even my teenage daughter noticed. I’ll probably only need 1 more, if that, and then my skin will be where I want it. After I plan to just do maintenance peels as needed. I love the esthetician here! She is kind and friendly and really goes above and beyond to provide great customer service!”

“Everyone here is absolutely amazing! I had my breast augmentation at the beginning of August, and let me tell you, Dr. Short was chef’s kiss for the body! 😂 She absolutely nailed it. I’m still early in the healing process, but I already love my results. She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me a result that feels proportionate, natural, and perfect for me. The entire staff has been so kind, patient, and reassuring throughout the whole process, especially anytime I’ve had questions or gotten nervous during recovery. I’ve always felt like I could reach out and that my concerns were taken seriously. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering breast augmentation, I highly recommend Dr. Short and the Gillian team!”

“Excellent experience from start to finish! The staff was very friendly, professional, and welcoming. Everyone made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire visit. I had a Botox procedure done, and I was very happy with the professionalism, attention to detail, and overall experience. The staff took the time to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable before and after the procedure. I would definitely recommend this plastic surgery institute to anyone looking for a professional and friendly team. I’m very happy with my experience and will definitely be coming back!”

“Horrible horrible experience. What is with these spa people pushing product lately?! Went in to have some filler dissolved, got to talking and was told that the VI peel was going to help my skin SO much. So the woman who does those was called in to talk with me. I told her my already dry skin was highly sensitized from tretinoin and hydroquinone some years before, told her most "gentle" products burn my skin and I have to wash them off, and that I was concerned the peel would harm my skin. She literally kept talking over me and assuring me the peel was for all skin types, and would not harm my skin in any way. I definitely felt rushed into signing the waiver- which is 100% my fault for signing and not reading all the risks and complications. Well, I got the peel. And I'm left with a new large patch of hyperpigmentation, and what looks to be damaged/burned skin under my eye. BOTH of which can occur from a VI Peel, as I've just researched and found out. The spa people at these doctors offices should take the time to actually listen to the patient and explain the risks and complications, and possibly NOT push an expensive treatment on them. Second time this sort of thing has happened in the last few months. Just because you're at a doctor's office, doesn't mean you're in good hands. BEWARE.”
