"I just left the office of DrCrofts for my pre op appointment and I had to leave a review because I appreciate Dr Croft's and his staff so much. I went in very nervous as I have been wanting a Tummy Tuck for many years but I always chicken out. I ultimately chose Dr Croft's because of his before and after photos of other patients and his attention to my concerns, he's very kind , he and his staff took their time with me and made me comfortable with answering all my questions. I have complete confidence going forward."
"Dear Dr. Crofts, -
I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know what a great experience I have had with my surgery, and working with you and your staff. This is why I love you guys!
#1 I look freakin "FANTASTIC!" After 4 kids, I never dreamed I could look this good again. I am so thankful for my tummy tuck and my beautiful boobs - LOVE them!
#2 You have the best staff in Utah County. I am a meticulous researcher, and I went all over the state meeting doctors and their staffs. I was blown away when I met your nurses - they sat down and took an hour with me, going through everything to expect after the surgery, you have an incredible staff!
#3 I had no complications, infections, and need no revisions (I am sooo thankful!) I was so appreciative that I stayed overnight at the surgical center, and got great follow up care in the days and weeks following my surgery. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.

"Had a wonderful experience with Dr Crofts and his team! I am 8 weeks post op and recovering nicely from a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I had help all the way through my recovery from Dr Crofts and his nurses whenever I had questions or concerns. I would recommend Dr Crofts and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to anyone with plastic surgery needs."
"I just left the office of DrCrofts for my pre op appointment and I had to leave a review because I couldn't be more excited. I went in very nervous about my upcoming Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation It was late as I was their last appointment of the day and they did not make me feel rushed. They took their time and made me so comfortable. but they eased my concerns with answering all my questions. It was a good experience and I'm looking forward to the big day."
"I am 3 years post-surgery and my results are perfect. Dr Crofts performed an abdominoplasty with mesh placement for hernias, breast implant removal with a lift, and re-augmentation. I wanted everything to be tight and lifted, but natural as I workout a lot in a sports bra. Dr Crofts exceeded my dream expectations. Not only that, when I woke up from surgery it went a bit longer than planned. The nurses said, “that’s normal for him - he’s unbelievably meticulous.” I refer everyone I meet, in every state I meet them, to Dr Crofts and tell them to fly to SLC for their procedure. Can’t recommend highly enough. Also happy to share before-and-after pictures if you would like to find me @mariah.hoard on Instagram."
"Everything went perfectly - I had the absolute best experience with Dr. Crofts and has staff. From start to finish. Every part of the process was comfortable and clear. My procedure was flawless and my recovery so smooth. It has been 3 years since I had my tummy tuck and breast lift and I absolutely love the results and 1000% would recommend all my friends to Dr Crofts. "
"I went to Dr. Crofts for a tummy tuck, diastasis recti and an umbilical hernia repair and I am SO HAPPY with my results!!! He is an excellent doctor, I was very pleased with the care I received before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Crofts and his team were always available, friendly and supportive whenever I needed them. My surgery was five weeks ago, and even though I am still in the healing process my body looks great, my scar is super thin and very asymmetrical, I was very worried about the scar, but somehow even my scar he was able to make it beautiful. Dr. Crofts has definitely been blessed with healing hands, he is kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable and I am so grateful that I chose him to be my doctor."
"I've researched all surgeons with great ratings (and been to several consultations). When I came across Dr. Crofts page, I couldn't believe how amazing his work was. When I came in to meet with him, he took his time to answer my questions, and started a conversation asking me about my hobbies, etc. It caught me off guard because I've never had a surgeon take the time to know me before. His nurse, Andrea and the rest of his staff are so wonderful every time I come in. I knew Dr. Crofts was my guy. I am about 4 weeks out and my recovery and results have been amazing. My tummy tuck scar is very thin and low. My life is forever changed. Thank you Dr. Crofts!"
"From the first day I met with Dr. Crofts & his staff through the entire process of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with diastasis repair---I have ZERO complaints or issues with this team. I never felt that ANY of my questions were "dumb" or redundant to them even though I'm sure they have heard it all many times before. That individualized care and attention meant the world to me. When arranging my surgery, work leave, and other miscellaneous questions, the Practice Manager- Deena, was ALWAYS in contact with answers or support in less than 24hours- many times within the next hour or two. The experience of Dr. Crofts was easily verifiable from online reviews and photo albums in his office of PS cases. Dr. Crofts is so genuinely likeable and his bedside manner is completely professional but with the warmth that many physicians lack these days. His nurses, Amy & Andrea, helped me to feel completely at ease around them and are invaluable assets to the team. I will be using this group for any and all future cosmetic procedures, no matter how minor or major."
"I am a 41-year-old female professional and mother of four. I had a Tummy tuck, and Liposuction with Dr. Kimball Crofts at Aesthetica. I am loving my new body. I have been wanting to have these procedures done for years. I have always exercised and eaten healthy, and never was able to improve my problem areas of sagging skin or large upper thighs. I finally decided it was my time and I scheduled a consult. The nurse I saw first was hands down amazing. She was so helpful on providing information so I could make a decision about what I wanted and expectations of surgery. I then met with Dr. Crofts and we discussed further my wants and desires. Together they made a potentially very uncomfortable situation for me into a very relaxed and comfortable environment. From start to finish Dr. Crofts, along with his nurses, took time, sat down with me, explained every details of what to expect, including understanding the healing time and the tricks and tips to healing best from a big surgery. From the time a scheduled my first appointment and walked into the office of Dr. Crofts for a consultation I knew I was in the right place. The front office staff and nurses make you feel welcomed and comfortable, even though I was discussing the most vulnerable areas of my body. I am about a month out and feeling great. I am so grateful for the AMAZING TEAM @ AESTHETICA. Dr. Crofts is a perfectionist and it show in his work. Together with his nurse’s Amy and Andrea, they go above and beyond for their patients, this is why I had an exceptional experience with incredible results. I highly recommend Dr. Crofts and the team at Aesthetica to everyone! Thank you kindly."
"Tummy Tuck, Breast Aug and Lipo....best Decision I've Ever Made! - Utah - I am a tall, relatively "fit" woman who had a tummy bulge and thighs I could never shape. I initially went in for a lipo consultation on my stomach and quickly realized that what I really needed was a tummy tuck. At first it seemed extremely overwhelming and unattainable, but with a supportive spouse and several consultations, I was able to comfortably make the decision that this was what I needed to be able to fully love myself on the outside. When I finally made the decision, it felt right and all I could do was anxiously await my surgery. I ended up getting a drainless tummy tuck with lipo to my hips, flanks, inner and outer thighs and my surgeon did a little lipo on my inner knees for sculpting. I also had a breast reaugmentation (it had been 10 years since my first) with pocket adjustment. I am not going to lie, the first two weeks of recovery were HELL! The discomfort is worse than the pain, in my opinion, and I developed a seroma that had to be drained daily. But let me tell you, no matter what your recovery may end up like, IT IS WORTH IT! This is hands down, the best decision I have ever made for myself. I could not be happier and I finally have the body I always wished I would have but could never attain with diet and exercise."
"Dr. Crofts did not disappoint! - I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op from a Tummy Tuck with Lipo on lower back, flanks, mons & hips. Obviously, there is still a good amount of swelling that will go down. I am very short waisted so he had his work cut out for him. My scar Is a straight, thin line (it appears dark/thick in the photo but it's really NOT) and it is healing REALLY well. I could not be more pleased. My back is still swollen from the Lipo so I can't really see the full results yet. I still have the drains in, they should be out in a day or two. My belly button is healing but I already LOVE what it looks like. As for the over-all look of my tummy....I'M AMAZED and it's SO tight and flat! I'm thrilled! I am 56 and my tummy looks like it did when I was 25 years old. He is truly a perfectionist and an artist. He has been very kind and easy to talk. I felt like he and his team have taken exceptional care of me. Deena (I think she is the Mgr./Fin. Coord.) is very professional and informative. The nurses (Amy & Andrea) are amazing! After my surgery, I probably called or came in about every other day just to have something checked out and they have been VERY helpful & encouraging. The office made me feel like they were at my beckon call and answered all my annoying questions! I have wanted a tummy tuck for over 8 years. Over that time I did a ton of research. I have had an amazing experience with Dr. Crofts and I'm so glad I chose him to do this really big, life-changing procedure."
"Multiple Pregnancies - After having several pregnancies with large full term babies, my body was left with lots of stretched out, saggy skin. All the exercise in the world wouldn't get rid of it. Feeling like I was doomed to live with it for the rest of my life was depressing and frustrating. I'm so glad I made the decision to get a tummy tuck. I feel normal again."
"Croft and his team are amazing. - As I was preparing for a tummy tuck I saw many Dr's here in Utah for consults. I was looking for the Dr. who made me feel great about my decision to have surgery. Not a single one made me feel good about my decision till I met with Dr. Croft. Dr. Croft and his team are winderful. They are helpful and kind form start to finish. As for my results of my surgery they are simply amazing. He is very skilled at what he does making his final results above my expectations."
"Dr. Crofts & his team surpassed all my expectations! - From the first day I met with Dr. Crofts & his staff through the entire process of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with diastasis repair---I have ZERO complaints or issues with this team. I have had loose skin and a long vertical scar from an emergency hysterectomy 12 years ago and always been extremely self-conscious in bikinis or anything that was form-fitting across my abdomen. Dr. Croft & his nurse Amy THOROUGHLY explained my options and WHY he felt the full tummy tuck was the best option. At my next visit with his other nurse Andrea- again, she provided a THOROUGH explanation for the operation and pre/post op care & medications. I have not once felt that ANY of my questions were "dumb" or redundant to them even though I'm sure they have heard it all many times before. That individualized care and attention meant the world to me. When arranging my surgery, work leave, and other miscellaneous questions, the Practice Manager- Deena, was ALWAYS in contact with answers or support in less than 24hours- many times within the next hour or two. At 3 weeks post-op, I developed a small infection from error on my part and had to visit the urgent care as this happened after hours. Amy, the nurse was in immediate contact via phone calls and gave me clear advice and I was seen the next morning at 8am to follow-up and receive reassurance and CLEAR instruction on care. The experience of Dr. Crofts was easily verifiable from online reviews and photo albums in his office of PS cases. Dr. Crofts seems so genuinely likeable and his bedside manner is completely professional but with the warmth that many physicians lack these days. I will be using this group for any and all future cosmetic procedures, no matter how minor or major."
"2 months post I am a 42-year-old female mother of three. I had a Tummy tuck, Lipo, and a breast augmentation revision with a lift. I am so happy with the results I have been wanting to have these procedures done for years. I finally got enough courage to go into Dr. Crofts office for a consultation. From the second I walked in the door I felt like I was in the right place and he was the doctor to help me. Dr. Croft's office is a very welcoming and comfortable environment. The consultation could be quite embarrassing but quite the opposite when you're dealing with Dr. Crofts and his wonderful staff, They have the ability to make you completely comfortable in an uncomfortable situation which I was very thankful for .They had a cancellation and fit me in for my surgery five days later. From start to finish it has been a great experience any questions along the way or concerns I've had have been answered very promptly and professionally. Dr. Crofts and his staff take their time with you making sure that you're healing process is going perfectly. I am now just over seven weeks post op and have had a wonderful experience start to finish. I would recommend Dr. Croft's office to anyone. Their kindness and attentiveness goes above and beyond. Dr. Crofts and his staff are definitely an extended part of my family now they are great!"
"Dr. Crofts has performed all 3 of the cosmetic procedures I have had done over the course of my life (breast implants/lift, tummy tuck, liposuction) and he has done such an amazing job! His staff at Aesthetica is equally as great! They are so welcoming and kind and quick to get you the answers to any questions you have! Dr. Crofts genuinely cares for his patients and he is an artist and master at his craft! I am the first person to proudly show my before and after pictures and recommend him to friends and family because I know he is the best of the best! Thank you Dr. Crofts and Aesthetica staff!"
"Let me start by saying that I did A LOT of research and went to many consultations with other plastic surgeons BEFORE choosing Dr. Crofts as mine. He is extremely knowledgeable and confident in his abilities to help you achieve the body that you are hoping for, and rightly so. Since losing 150 lbs in 2009, I have now had 2 extensive surgeries with Dr. Crofts (a full tummy tuck in 2009 and most recently a bra line lift, reverse tummy tuck and breast augmentation) and I am extremely happy with my results. They are better than I imagined and I am still healing! I cannot wait to see how I look in a month! Dr. Crofts has given me back my confidence! I truly believe he is the best plastic surgeon in Utah and he is the only surgeon I will ever use. I highly recommend him and know you will not be disappointed!"
"I met with two different plastic surgeons in Northern Utah before visiting with Dr. Crofts. A friend of mine referred me to him and as soon as I met with him and his great nurses I knew this was where I wanted to have my mommy makeover done. Dr. Crofts gave me guidance that I was really looking for in deciding what implant size would look best on my body. I have had five children and my breasts were deflated and pendulous. The other two doctors gave me zero help in trying to decide what breast size would look best on my body. I am 5'10" with a fairly athletic build. I have never been busty and felt nervous making such a change to my body. Dr, Kimball Crofts came in and without hesitation told me where the human eye looks when it sees a body and what is considers to be beautiful. He also had me stand to the side and explained to me how the projection of the chest should match the projection of my buttocks. If the buttocks projects out further than the chest projects out on the front, things seem off to the human eye and out of balance. The vice versa is also true. If your chest is projecting out far and you have a flat bottom that does not seem attractive to the human eye either. I was so grateful to have his help in deciding what looked best on my frame. The other doctors almost refused to give me any guidance saying that it was completely my choice and that they would do whatever I wanted. The thing was, I did not know what would look right. I did not want to look hugely augmented, but I did want to have the right amount of curve to my body. I really appreciated his honesty and help in choosing the right breast implant for my body!! Like I mentioned above, I had a mommy makeover done with Dr. Crofts. My abdominoplasty looks so great right now, and I am only three weeks out from surgery. My stomach is flat as can be and the scaring at this point looks amazing! I not only had a breast augmentation performed, I also had a breast reduction and lift performed at the same time. Like I said before, I have never been a really busty girl, but Dr. Crofts thought I would need some tissue removed from the base of my breast to make the breast and nipple placement look best after the lift. Neither of the other doctors I met with considered doing this. I really felt like a number in their offices and not like a patient they wanted to help look great. They were only going to do what I asked for and no more. Well, My breasts look great and the scaring I was so nervous about that comes with a lift are almost invisible. That was another reason that I really liked Dr. Crofts. In his gallery I could see the scars on the patients with breast lifts looked very minimal, and that is my result as well. The nurses have always been available and helpful if I ever had any questions after surgery and the service at Dr. Crofts office has been second to none. They were even so kind as to give me multiple gift cards to their spa for a massage on the areas I had liposuctioned (which look amazing by the way) and for a microdermabrasion, and for six laser hair removal treatments of my upper bikini area. Just another example of them helping to make sure that I am going to be very happy with the end results of the procedures I had performed by Dr. Crofts. These guys are awesome, you will not be disappointed!!"
"Thorough process, great staff - I had a breast augmentation, lift, and tummy tuck done by Dr. Crofts. He was great at listening to what I hoped to get from surgery and was very honest with what to expect. The whole process was very smooth and very professional. Loved all the staff and the after surgery care."
"3rd Cosmetic Procedure and still just as amazed as the 1st time! - Lindon, UT - Dr. Crofts is the only Plastic surgeon that my family and myself will ever go to. He has completed my breast implants/lift, tummy tuck, and Liposuction procedures. As well as procedures on my aunt and mother. He is by far the best of the best. He is an artist and he genuinely has his patents best interest at heart. He is not afraid to give you his opinion when it comes to your safety and your final result. If you want a specific procedure done and he thinks that there is something better that can help you achieve the overall look he will tell you exactly that! His bedside manner is truly amazing and his staff is one of a kind as well. I truly appreciate the kindness they have shown me in my body transformation journey and I am so glad that Dr. Crofts was the Dr. who helped me to achieve the body I have always wanted. THANK YOU!!!!"
"So Happy - I lost over 100 pounds and decided to have a tummy tuck and liposuction. It was the best thing I ever did! I went to see 6 surgeons and Dr. Crofts was my #1 choice by far!!!! He spent a lot of time with me explaining what he would do and answering my questions. When I went into surgery I knew what to expect! After surgery I could totally see a difference. Dr Crofts did an amazing job and has the best bedside manner I've ever seen in a doctor!!! He and the staff have been there for me every step of the way. They are all so caring! I am 3 weeks out and feel great! Also look great! Dr. Crofts has given me my confidence back!!! I will totally recommend him to everyone I know! Thank you Dr. Crofts"

"30 Year Old, 3 Kids - Time for a Mommy Makeover! Bra Line Lift, Reverse Tummy Tuck, & Breast Agumentation - Lindon, UT - I lost 150 lbs through diet and exercise in 2009 and Dr. Crofts preformed a tummy tuck on me in December 2009 and a bra line lift, reverse tummy tuck and breast augmentation on me in June 2016 to remove the rest of my loose skin. Both surgeries gave me results that I was extremely pleased with! Dr. crofts is very knowledgeable and was able to take my vision for my body and turn it into reality."
"Dear Dr. Crofts and Staff,
How can I ever begin to thank you enough for something that has literally changed my life! There are not words to express my gratitude or my happiness!
I didn't necessarily think I was unhappy over the last 20 years, but I am slowly realizing that over that time a part of me was dying. I have spent the last 20 years trying to "hide out" from the rest of the world.
My wardrobe consisted of large t-shirts and loose sweatpants. I wore a lot of black and dark brown to try and hide my shape. Because of the large flap of skin that I carried everywhere with me, it was hard for me to participate in activities with family and friends. Even exercising with other people was hard for me. I'm not the kind of person who has ever really cared about what anyone else thought of me, but I did realize that I'm the kind of person who cares a lot about what I think of myself. I don't know if that even makes sense, but I didn't really like the person that I had become. Much more than the physical aspect of this procedure is the emotional aspect that you have also healed.

I am finally free to be me again! I can be funny, and not feel like I'm the "fat girl" in the room trying to cover up her insecurities. I can wear cute, funky, and stylish clothing. I can wear colors, patterns, and bright designs. I can join in and participate in activities without feeling that I might embarrass myself. I know it sounds somewhat superficial, but those things we wear and the activities we participate in are a huge part of who we are. I feel like the real me has been in a cage for the last 20 years, and has finally been set free!
Deciding to have a tummy tuck was right up there with some of the other great decisions I have made in life. I mean big decisions, like getting married and having children. I am so, so glad that I decided to have the procedure done. I wish that I had had the courage to do it for myself 10 years ago. I can't get back those past 10 years of hiding away from the world, but I am immensely excited for the next 30 or so ahead!
From the moment that I walked into your office, I felt that I was among friends. All your staff are wonderful, kind, and accommodating. From the first meeting with you and your staff, I knew that you were the one I would choose for my procedure. I felt that you all took the time to get to know me and address my concerns. All my questions were answered and I felt completely at ease. Meeting with someone for the first time and having to show them your greatest physical flaw is a huge and scary thing! You all handled it with grace and understanding and allowed me to keep my dignity in the process. From you, Dr. Crofts, I felt someone who loves what he does, and takes pride in his work. You took the time to address the emotional issues as well.

I had had a previous consultation with another plastic surgeon that had been recommended to me. I had already scheduled a surgery date and made a down payment. I'm so grateful that I took the time for another consult! Meeting with you made making the decision to have my procedure so much easier. It should tell others something that I was willing to lose my down payment as well as cancel all the previous plans, to have you do my surgery.
You have a wonderful staff! I can't thank your nurses enough for their kindness and concern during the whole procedure....including appointments both before and after the surgery. They have taken the time to truly address and explain everything along the way. Knowing that I could call them at any time was a great relief.
Having the procedure was one of the best decisions I have ever made! You truly have set me free; to be me again! You can and should take great pride in your profession and the business that you have built. Plastic surgery sometimes gets a "bad rap" but you have, as previously stated, healed me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I will be forever grateful for all that you have done for me!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and my new cute belly!
M.W."
"Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, and Lipo 10 Days out - I'm 42 years old. I have 4 kids, and I lost 65 pounds about 7 years ago. I workout faithfully and as a reward for my hard work, my sweet husband sold his Corvette so I could have some work done. I'm 10 days out now from having a tummy tuck, breast reconstruction and augmentation and lipo on my inner/outer thighs, flanks, hips, back, sides. Had I written a few days ago, I would have yelled at everyone not to do so much at once. The first week was really, REALLY hard. Even with the pain pills, I was in constant pain. And even now I can't really get comfortable. I have been sleeping in a recliner and still don't know when I will get back to my Tempurpedic bed. The pain is definitely more tolerable now although the swelling is still terrible, especially in my thighs and pubic area. I wasn't expecting how swollen and hard the tissue would be. My doctor said people usually get swollen the first few days , but I really didn't even start getting swollen until 3 or 4 days out. And now at 10 days out, I haven't noticed much of the swelling going down, although my husband says it has. I'm wearing the compression garment too which doesn't help with comfort. My doctor said my drains should hopefully come out at my 2 week appointment. I get the massage then as well. I can see that I am going to really enjoy the results, but the pain we women put ourselves through for beauty is ridiculouos! I'll post some pics soon."
