Mikayla Matthews underwent a breast augmentation with lollipop lift in 2023 in Utah by another surgeon. She reported firmness, mild pain, and discomfort in the right breast, which appeared higher than the left. These symptoms began within weeks of surgery. The implants had been placed submuscularly. Additionally, she reported systemic symptoms that began postoperatively, including a bacterial infection, gastrointestinal disturbances, and widespread worsening of previous dermatologic symptoms (burning, itchy rash with spots on the neck, and rashes primarily on the back and arms). She wished to have her breast implants removed to alleviate the pain and discomfort in the right breast, while still maintaining some breast volume post-explant.
Procedure Details
Dr. Daniel Barrett performed an explant with fat transfer, removing the patient’s breast implants and restoring natural volume using her own fat. Following the procedure, the patient experienced a noticeable reduction in the severity of her systemic symptoms.

Went to Dr Barrett to try Daxxify as an alternative to Botox, which seemed like I had developed a tolerance to... Can't recommend Daxxify enough! I noticed the results within a few days! Very noticeable & I am thrilled with the results! He did a fantastic job injecting & my face looks SO refreshed :)) His office is beautiful & the staff were professional & welcoming. Overall a wonderful experience, I will be back to try other treatments

I recently had a breast augmentation by Dr. Barrett and he did an amazing job. Not only did he achieve my desired results but the post recovery and downtime was fast, literally. My downtime was only about a few days, I was shocked as to how minimal my pain was.

I literally love this office. Dr. Barrett made me feel safe and made sure to cater to my needs. I am 2.5 months into post ops and my boobs look amazing. They helped me love my body even more.

After doing a ton of research and investigation I decided on Dr Barrett and he did a fantastic job, thank you! The staff were angels leading up to the surgery, helping me get to the big day, which had a few rocky days to say the least. At 6 months my results are in line with my expectations/wishes and I'm really glad I ended up choosing him.

I had the most incredible experience with Dr. Barrett. I had a breast augmentation done 4 months ago and I’m truly the happiest and most confident I’ve ever been.

I went with my daughter who wanted first time Botox. I discussed with the Dr. That I get Botox too but it never worked on the "bunny lines", he suggested I try his technique because you must inject in the precise muscle, so I did it and it worked!! It took a few days to settle in but it finally happened. No more bunny lines.. I will be going to see him in the future for any future opinions on procedures. I trust his judgment.

If you've been considering any kind of plastic surgery then look no further than Dr. Barrett. I came in for my consultation in 2019 and decided on my surgery for breast augmentation on June 2022. I gave myself enough time to think about it, and honestly, I wish I would have gotten them sooner.
Lili G.
Dr. Barrett really listened to me and saw me as a person and not just another patient or number like the other doctors. My breasts look completely natural and I get compliments from women who say they wish they had natural breasts like mine.

I went to 3 different consultations, Dr. Barrett was the last and immediately felt so safe and secure. I love that he cares about my overall well being and health.

Dr. Barrett and his team are amazing! I had a breast augementation and the results are phenomenal. Very natural looking and people are shocked at the easy recovery and results within weeks. I have had friends who years later their breast's have just started to drop a bit. Mine already have a very natural result and just keep getting better. Even the feel is amazing!

Dr. Barrett hands down is the BEST. He’s so detailed and thorough. The process of my surgery from consult to my 4 month post op was amazing! Worth every penny and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Dr. Barret and his staff are amazing. I had two surgeries with them, and I was treated spectacularly. The team is amazingly well-versed in medical knowledge, and the location is divine, clean, and polished. Always felt well cared for.

Wow. I don't even have the words to express how much I love Dr. Barrett and his staff. He is the most caring, knowledgeable, and incredible surgeon out there. He listens to your concerns and talks through solutions WITH you.

I can’t say enough good things about Doctor Barrett and his team. I went in for breast augmentation (this was the first time I’ve ever had any work done) and the whole process was quick and easy. I felt right at home with Doctor Barrett and his wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly team.

Dr. Barrett is nothing short of a plastic surgeon genius. Beyond that, Dr. B is incredibly well rounded - he’s truly a kind and caring person, your wellbeing matters to him. But the thing I like most about Dr. Barrett is that he cares about your overall health. My particular goals for plastic surgery were complicated and most of all I wanted a completely natural solution - meaning no silicone implants, only natural fat transfer. Dr. B knew exactly what to do to achieve my goal results. He was honest about what to expect, but my results turned out even better!
