Facial Injections: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Name: Ryan A. Stanton, MD

Statement: Dr. Ryan A. Stanton is a board-certified, fellowship-trained reconstructive and plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who focuses on cosmetic surgery. Over nearly 20 years in private practice, Dr. Stanton has treated over 6,000 patients. Though he regularly performs surgery on the body, breasts, and face, he’s a sought-after plastic surgeon who uniquely specializes in hip and buttocks enhancement with butt implants and hip implants.

Dr. Stanton’s patients have nicknamed him “the Butt King.” To ensure the safest, impressive butt enhancement results, he invested years of research and calculated experimentation before presenting his butt implant innovation to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where it was awarded approval in 2016. The Stanton Anatomic buttock implant is a gluteal muscle-shaped implant, which offers a much more realistic shape than round implants. It also significantly avoids the visibility and deformity problems often seen with round implants.

Dr. Stanton obtained his MD at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison. After his residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery, he completed a prestigious fellowship in aesthetic plastic surgery in Miami, with plastic surgeons renowned for their pioneering techniques in facelifts, breast augmentation, and body contouring.

Dr. Stanton is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

RealSelf Q&A with Dr. Ryan Stanton

Q: What sets your practice apart?
A: I’ve been performing and perfecting the art of buttock enhancement in Los Angeles for 20 years. I even created and patented a buttock implant that I exclusively use. Recently, I’ve added hip dip surgery. This procedure is very popular among women who want to achieve a more classically feminine hourglass silhouette, including transgender patients. I custom-make every pair of cosmetic hip implants for each patient.

Q: What inspired you to become a surgeon?
A: When I was 11, I had a bicycle injury that required minor facial surgical repair. It was done so well that no one would know unless I told them. That was my first exposure to plastic surgery. I was so fascinated by what could be done to cosmetically repair and enhance the human body. After that realization, I wanted the knowledge and skills to perform cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Q: How did you decide to specialize in aesthetic surgery?
A: It’s the only area of medicine where otherwise relatively healthy people choose to come see you. It is such an honor for them to want to come see me and put their trust and beauty in my hands.

Q: What’s your practice like?
A: I have a very specialized niche in cosmetic buttock and hip implants, as well as female genital labiaplasty and hoodectomy. I also perform other rare implant surgeries, such as pectoral, bicep, tricep, and calf implants. I also have vast experience in other body-contouring procedures and breast augmentation with implants.

Q: How would you describe your approach to plastic surgery?
A: I truly believe that maintaining internal health is just as important as external health, and I try to impart this philosophy to every patient. I’m also very outcome-driven. To achieve consistent and optimal outcomes, I always do things in a very regimented fashion. I pride myself on safety and being compulsive about producing quality work over the quantity of work.
