From My Last Medical Mission
My husband and I spent some time in the Philippines working to repair cleft palates. This was a rewarding experience for us both and we look forward to joining more medical missions in the near future.

Dr. Burgess and her professional staff are top notch. From the initial consultation to the final results, I couldn’t be more pleased
Dr. Burgess performed Ultherapy around my mouth and lips and within 3 weeks I felt firmer and my lips appeared to be ‘lifted’ and more shapely. Now at 2 months, I am enjoying a more defined lip line. The procedure was less painful than I expected and took less than 30 minutes.
I have visited Burgess Plastic Surgery several times for a variety of reasons. I have never had a bad experience. First of all, the clinic is always clean, warm, and inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful. They are eager to help and answer questions and make me feel safe and secure. Dr. Burgess is amazing! She always has the right ideas and I always walk away feeling beautiful without any pressure! I highly recommend this clinic!
I was really nervous about the whole process but the staff made me feel very comfortable with my procedure. She changed my life!
