Description

Specialties

Dr. Leighton provides burn reconstructive services to improve both cosmetic appearance and function of burn scars. Burn reconstruction surgery can help release scar contractures, improve discoloration, increase the function of the affected area, and dramatically improve the appearance of burn survivors.

Plastic surgery techniques are administered to restore the shape of the breast deformed by birth defects or breast cancer therapy. Breast reconstruction is a multiple procedure process to restore the patient’s body image and confidence.

You should feel comfortable in your own skin. We offer a multitude of cosmetic procedures that can both enhance and reconstruct normal appearances. These procedures include eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, facial rejuvenation, and rhinoplasty among many others.

I had a mastectomy for breast cancer. I had reconstruction and a lift on the other side so they’d match, Dr. Leighton significantly reduced the size of my breasts with the surgery, the bras I’d worn previously had a 2″ gap. I went back to him for the initial post surgical appointment, but decided not to return after that. Everyday women have breast implants to increase their breast size. I was happy with my size, but did not want them reduced so dramatically. He was not honest with me and did not tell me of his plans to alter my breast size prior to the surgery. I became very depressed after the surgery. I would not recommend him

Update:
Apparently before my follow-​up appointment, Dr. Leigton had seen my first review below on Unilocal and another website.
where you may see my pictures and review and you can judge his «work» for yourself by typing in «Breast Lift Reconstruction but Mistake Repeated,» in the search box mine is the first one that pops up on
In anticipation he and his nurses planned a skit for me. He showed up to the exam room in a wheelchair pushed by his nurse with a World’s #1 Grandpa pin on his shirt. I had called him Grandpa Leigton in the review directly below this one. He also quoted the other review, «Maybe I should retire or go to the Burn Unit.» Where I had actually said he is a genius. Obviously I had faith that Dr. Leighton could help me because I still had surgery with him despite being discouraged by one of his former patients (who also had bad results). In my opinion, he and his staff are unbelievably callous and unprofessional. He got in my face and yelled at me and my sister and refused to answer my questions regarding my bad results. He was so hostile that he was grunting like an animal. I am a single mom and I do not make a lot of money. I will require future surgeries to fix his mistakes. When I asked him for a refund Dr. Leighton told me, «Get a lawyer!» Don’t forget that this «surgeon» had many malpractice lawsuits filed against him you can see for yourself on the Maricopa County Civil Case Search webpage. Just think of the number of people whose cases didn’t make it to court. It is hard to prove malpractice especially in the cosmetic realm, the doctors in this city all protect each other. I feel that he did not help me, my scars and «breast» look worse than before his «reconstruction.» I feel that this man is evil and sick. At the very least I deserve a refund.

I went to Dr Leighton to remove several moles. Everybody in the front was nice. Upon examination everything went fine. Talked to female in back about insurance and I have good insurance. She called later and informed me the cost was over $ 10,000, about $ 1000.00 per mole. I said are you kidding, she got defensive and I said forget it. I then went to another doctor and had all of them removed with my insurance, after insurance, cost was about $ 120.00.
