Sean Doherty, MD
In both our Brookline and Boston offices, we strive to provide our plastic surgery patients with an environment that is welcoming, comforting, discreet and tranquil. Our office allows our patients from Boston, Brookline and beyond to relax and focus on their transformation through plastic surgery. Upon entrance into the reception of either the Boston or Brookline office, you will be greeted by our friendly office staff.

They will provide you with answers to any questions you may have prior to or at the time of your scheduled consultation with Dr. Sean Doherty. Patient consultations for such procedures as breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tuck, and laser resurfacing take place in the examination rooms. They provide maximum privacy and comfort for your consultation and all follow-up appointments.
Services
The word "plastic" is derived from a Greek word plastikos meaning to "mold" or "shape." Today, plastic surgery has evolved as an unequaled medical specialty. Plastic surgery relies heavily on technical skill, artistic ability, and scientific knowledge. The specialty incorporates both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures and requires more training than other surgical specialties.
The breasts are one of a woman's power centers. Not only do they feed your children, but they help define and shape the feminine physique. However, some women are not satisfied with the size and shape of their breasts. They are either too small or not the same size (asymmetric). This dissatisfaction may negatively affect your sense of self, ability to wear the clothes that you'd like and even your confidence level.
A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape the breasts. It restores a more youthful looking contour to the entire torso. It may also have the power to completely rejuvenate a woman's sense of self. Sagging breasts can literally drag you down. They not only can make you look heavier than you are, but many patients complain of feeling older and self-conscious in certain clothing or when not in clothing.
Some women are actually born with breasts that are too large. They can not only throw off the aesthetic contour of your torso, making you look heavier than you are, but having overly large breasts can be emotionally traumatizing. Most potential breast reduction patients developed their breasts early.
Newer breast implants have a long lifespan. The idea that they will only last 10 years is no longer the case. However, if you had your initial breast augmentation performed in your 20's, there is a good chance that your implants will need to be replaced at some point during your lifetime. Any woman who has breast implant surgery has a 25% chance of needing a further surgery on her breasts.

Love, love, love! Such a wonderful surgeon who truly makes you feel comfortable through the entire process. I had a breast lift/reduction, he and his entire team were wonderful to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He is also wonderful about communicating before and after your procedure and has many follow-up appointments after your procedure so you feel comfortable through the entire healing process.

Dr. Doherty is the best! He’s been injecting me for years. I moved to a different part of the country and still come back to Boston so he can do my dermal fillers. He makes the whole experience easy and comfortable while leaving me with the most youthful and natural results.

There's a reason why Dr. Doherty is one of Boston's top plastic surgeons–the results are always natural, refined, balanced...and beautiful. He and his staff care deeply about patients and always treat them with care, compassion and respect. I always feel better on the inside, and look better on the outside, after seeing Dr. Doherty.

I recently visited Dr Doherty for an acid face peel. This is a very professional, friendly and organised office. I was extremely pleased with my experience and procedure. Dr Doherty has a very calming presence and explains everything he’s doing and what you’ll likely experience as it’s happening. It’s easy to see why he’s a busy Doctor! Since most rejuvenation procedures aren’t completely painless, being in a calming environment with a caring Doctor is so comforting.

Dr. Doherty and his staff are amazing. His work is like magic. I am beyond grateful that he gave me my confidence back. I would never go to any other Dr. 10/10 would recommend him.

I have tried several plastic surgeons in the past and I had mixed results until I found Dr. Doherty.
Dr. Doherty uses state of the art procedures and the results of his work are absolutely spectacular.
He gives you a natural look, a younger and a better version of yourself and that takes talent and skill which are hard to find.

I am extremely happy with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Doherty

I have been going to Dr. Doherty for years. There is simply no one better. He does not do the "over done" look. People cannot believe I have had anything done. He is kind and compassionate and very, very good.

I also have had nothing but excellent service from his staff. I cannot disagree with the negative review more strongly.

Thsi is the Dr. you want to go to!

I saw dr. Doherty last week for a consultation for submental fat. He was so helpful, he explained all my options so clearly, and he has a very calming demeanor that made me feel at ease with my final decision!

I look forward to my procedure!!

Thanks dr. Doherty

Rude receptionist lady - I didn't even get to see Dr Doherty because of how rude the women were. Curt and cuts you off after you utter two words. I made an appointment to lessen the laceration scar on my chin. Due to conflict, I had to change my appointment and boy after seen how they treat patients, I end up canceling it. I'm shocked these clinics fail to under receptionist is, in a way, an ambassador of the clinic. Why be rude when there are a dozen of alternatives.

Dr. Doherty is AMAZING! Honestly! I met a pharmaceutical rep a few years ago and she told me the only person she would let inject her or anything else regarding plastic surgery is Dr. Sean Doherty. I looked at her and I couldn't believe anyone had done anything to her face. Completely natural and looked 10 years younger! (She had volunteered her age.) She is now in California and yes... comes back to see him. I immediately set up a consultation appointment and I feel the same way she does. From Botox to fillers to threads! He has stopped time me and many other people without... looking like
