Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. If you're reading this, you're probably at the early stage of thinking about plastic surgery: curious, maybe a little nervous, and looking for someone you can trust with something personal. This page is a straightforward introduction to who Dr. Justin Bellamy is, how he works with patients and what a first visit looks like.
Meet Dr. Bellamy
Dr. Justin Bellamy is a board-certified plastic surgeon who focuses on aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body. He has published more than thirty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and patients travel from across the country to see him. His procedures include rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, mommy makeover, Lipo 360 and Brazilian butt lift.
He also has a reputation for being easy to talk to. He believes clear communication between doctor and patient comes first, and he wants people to feel comfortable enough to ask the questions they've been holding back. Away from the operating room, he enjoys bread baking, cooking and brewing espresso.
You can read the full story on his profile page.
Direct contact is the heart of how the practice runs. From your first encounter through surgery and well into recovery, Dr. Bellamy is in direct communication with you and your family. He aims to explain the reasoning behind every recommendation so you understand what is being proposed and why, and he shares outcomes openly so that you can judge the work for yourself instead of taking anyone's word for it.
Training that shaped his approach
Dr. Bellamy graduated cum laude from Yale University with a degree in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. During those years he spent time with a pediatric craniofacial surgeon and the chief of plastic surgery at Yale New Haven Hospital, and that experience sparked his interest in the field. He was struck by how directly a surgeon can change a person's daily life for the better.
He went on to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, then completed his plastic surgery residency at NYU Langone. During residency he came to see aesthetic surgery as the place where surgical skill and artistry meet, and where the results are most personal. After NYU he completed an advanced fellowship in aesthetic plastic surgery at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, working with leading surgeons and learning current techniques.
That path matters to you in a practical way. It means his approach is grounded in evidence, and it explains why he keeps up with new developments instead of relying on a single method for everyone.
How he works with patients
Dr. Bellamy's style is direct and personal. From your first consultation through surgery and recovery, he is in touch with you and your family. He aims to build an honest, authentic relationship with every patient, and that includes being straightforward about what is realistic.
What we do
The practice covers the face, breast, body and non-surgical care. Here is a quick guide to where to start.
Face. Rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Bellamy's main specialties, including preservation, scarless, ethnic and revision techniques. He also performs facelift, deep plane facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty, brow lift, chin implants and more. See the full face menu.
Breast. Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast revision and implant removal and gynecomastia surgery. See the breast menu.
Body. Tummy tuck, Lipo 360, mommy makeover and Brazilian butt lift. See the body menu.
Non-surgical. Botox, dermal fillers and non-surgical rejuvenation. See the non-surgical menu.
Awake surgery
One thing worth knowing about before you book is the practice's awake approach. For selected procedures, including awake breast augmentation and awake deep plane facelift, surgery can be done without general anesthesia. For many people, the thought of being put under is the hardest part of surgery, so this is worth knowing about. It doesn't suit every patient or every procedure, and your health and preferences decide whether it's an option.
What to expect at your first consultation
A consultation is a conversation, not a sales meeting. You'll talk through what you want to change and why, and Dr. Bellamy will examine the area you're interested in, explain what's realistic and describe the options, including non-surgical alternatives and the choice of doing nothing. You'll hear about the procedure, recovery, risks and how the process is planned. You're free to leave without booking anything.
To get the most from it:
- Write down your questions ahead of time.
- Bring photos of results you like, and some you don't.
- Bring a list of medications, past surgeries and health conditions.
- Think about your timeline, including work, travel and events.
Is plastic surgery right for you?
It's a fair question, and it deserves more thought than a quick yes or no. A few questions can help you sort it out.
Why now? Some people have wanted a change for years and finally have the time or the money. Others are reacting to a recent event, like a breakup, a milestone birthday or a photo they didn't like. Neither is wrong, but the first group tends to be calmer about the process.
Who is it for? Surgery does best when it's for you. If you're doing it mainly to please someone else, or to fix a problem that only they see, pause and talk it through.
What do you expect? Good surgery improves a specific feature or proportion. It doesn't fix a relationship, a career or a mood. Patients who go in with clear, modest expectations are almost always happier with the outcome.
Are you healthy, and is your life set up for recovery? Stable health, no nicotine and a bit of breathing room in your schedule make a real difference.
If you can answer those comfortably, a consultation is a good next step. If you can't, that's useful information too, and Dr. Bellamy will help you think it through.
From consultation to final result: a rough timeline
Every operation is different, but the shape of the process is similar, and knowing it in advance takes some of the anxiety out.
Consultation. You meet, talk, and get an examination and a plan. This is the moment to ask everything.
Decision and scheduling. Take your time. Some patients book within days, others think for months. When you're ready, you'll choose a date that works with your life.
Pre-operative preparation. In the weeks before surgery you'll receive instructions on medications, nicotine and arrangements at home. You may need routine health tests.
Surgery day. You arrive, meet the team and go through the plan again. Afterward, someone needs to take you home.
The first week. Rest, swelling, bruising and follow-up. You will be told when to call with concerns.
Weeks two to six. Gradual return to normal. Most people are back at work well within this period, depending on the procedure. Activity restrictions are lifted in stages.
Three to six months. Swelling has mostly settled and the result looks much closer to final.
One year and beyond. Refinement continues, particularly for the nose and for scars. This is when to judge the final outcome.
Planning around real life
Surgery has to fit into a life that already has work, family and travel in it. Think about who will help you at home for the first few days, whether you have children or pets who need care, and how much time off your job will realistically require. If you are traveling to Palm Beach Gardens, plan to stay in the area for the first days after surgery and for your early follow-up visits, so you're close to the office if a question comes up.
It also helps to line up one person you trust to be your point of contact. Having someone who knows the plan can take pressure off you while you heal.
A word about cost
Fees depend on the procedure, the extent of the work, the surgical facility, anesthesia and the follow-up care included. Because every patient is different, you'll receive a written quote after your consultation. Ask what is included and what isn't, so you can compare accurately if you're speaking with more than one practice.
Real experiences from patients
Reviews and testimonials can tell you what the process felt like from the other side. Patients describe feeling supported from their first consultation through recovery.

A conversation about your goals, an examination of the area of interest and an explanation of your options, including recovery and risks. There is no pressure to book. Bringing your questions and reference photos helps.

How do I know whether I need surgery or a non-surgical treatment?

Many patients do, and Dr. Bellamy is happy to be in touch with your family throughout the process. Having a second set of ears helps, since it's easy to forget details when you're processing a lot of information.
