Hannah Bedel-Franklin review for Dr. William Numa – Boston Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Numa is a master of his craft, first and foremost. He and his staff (Corey) have incredible bedside manner and are so warm and welcoming every time I go in, it’s like visiting friends— it’s almost sad that the results of Dr. Numa’s work lasts so long because I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like— but that’s a testament to his success. At the recommendation of a since retired surgeon I used to go to, I first made an appointment with Dr. Numa last year for lip augmentation. As most people should be, I’ve always been particular about the qualifications of the people I’m going to that will be doing any sort of cosmetic enhancement to my face. I wouldn’t say I have a necessarily unique lip shape, but it’s definitely one that requires a different approach than that typical pattern of injection that we tend to see on most people— it was always really important to me that my lips don’t look unnatural and that the placement of filler compliments their shape while also keeping their integrity. So when I say that Numa is a master of what he does— it’s because I have never been so pleased with the results as of my visits to him and impressed with the eye for detail he has proven to have when it comes to what will look best and how to achieve it. I’m absolutely, for lack of any other term, obsessed with the results of my most recent visit. The pictures below are from a few days after the injections (and with some lipstick on as a disclaimer). To note, too, is that in the past and at other hands, it has taken much longer for the results to show, for the filler to settle, for swelling and discomfort to go away. That has never been an issue after leaving Dr. Numa’s practice. I didn’t know that it would be possible to have such a quick recovery time and be so satisfied with the results so soon after injection— always thinking it was normal to be talking a bit funny for a week or so. But that’s, again, a testament to his skill— gorgeous results and with an impressive turn around time. Besides my love for my experiences with lip augmentation— I did recently get Botox for the first time ever a few days ago by him. As you can imagine, I was pretty nervous— I’ve never had it done before! I didn’t know if it was going to hurt, if I’d regret the way it turned out, any of that. BUT I could not be more pleased. I spoke with him about the concerns of being able to move my face still how I wanted— the focus of the injection location to target those 11s that the summer really insists upon bringing out— and not wanting to lose the ability to emote as much as I do. He adjusted the amount of units based on my apprehension and truly, I could not be happier. If I didn’t flaunt his work and brag to friends how much I love what he’s accomplished on my face, you would never be able to tell— except for the fact that I don’t look like I’m scowling as much. I cannot express how incredible my experiences with Dr. Numa have been and I cannot recommend his services enough to any and all that will listen. If you want incredible and natural looking results, at competitive pricing, by a professional— a master even— this is the place you want to be. Much love to Dr. Numa and Corey, I’m lucky that every glance in the mirror is a reminder of getting to have the honor of being touched by such artistry
