I cannot recommend Dr. Malotky enough! I went into my breast augmentation consultation feeling very self-conscious—I was extremely flat-chested with almost no breast tissue at all, and it had affected my confidence for years.
From the very first appointment, Dr. Malotky listened carefully, answered every question patiently, and helped me choose an implant size and shape that would fit my frame. He never pushed me toward anything too big or dramatic; instead, he focused on creating a result that would feel authentic to me.
The surgery and recovery went far smoother than I ever expected. His team was professional, kind, attentive, and always available when I had questions during the healing process. The incisions healed beautifully with minimal scarring.
I went from having virtually no breasts to now being full, feminine, and proportionate in a way that feels 100% like me. My clothes fit better, I feel confident in everything from swimsuits to fitted tops, and most importantly, I finally feel comfortable in my own body.
If you’re considering breast augmentation and want a surgeon who combines technical skill, an excellent aesthetic eye, genuine care, and outstanding follow-up, Dr. Malotky and his Team are it! This was truly life-changing for me in the best possible way. Thank you!
After 40 years with breast implants that were hard and encapsulated, I decided to have them removed and go back to my natural breasts. In my search for a plastic surgeon I found Dr. Malotky’s website Summit Plastic Surgery. I was very impressed by all of the 5 stars and great reviews.
After my initial consultation, I decided he was the doctor for me. Dr. Malotky and his staff are so kind and informative which gave me the confidence that I would have the outcome I wanted. They were right! Dr. Malotky removed my implants and capsules surrounding my implants, along with a breast lift to create my new natural breasts. I am so happy with my results and can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend Dr. Malotky, Summit Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Malotky and his entire staff were nothing short of amazing! From the first consultation I knew that Dr. Malotky was the surgeon for me. He is so enthusiastic about what he does and his confidence made me relax immediately. I was coming in with a ruptured implant and breasts that were too large for my 5’0″ 105lb frame.
I had a breast augmentation 7 years earlier by another surgeon that did not communicate well with me. I expressed my hesitation about a second surgery after not being completely happy with the first one and Dr. Malotky listened intently and communicated eveything clearly from start to finish. I now have the breasts I had prior to having children and they fit my body beautifully.
Dr. Malotky gave me my confidence back! I would recommend him a thousand times. His entire staff treated me with such kindness and respect from day one.
Dr Malotky & All Staff are very professional and love what they do in the medical field. All of my concerns and questions were answered, I felt very confident that this is who and where I wanted my procedure done with.
I followed all after care instructions and my results were more than what I planned on it being. I would definitely recommend The Summit Plastic Surgery Team to anyone. Thank you again Dr. M & Team ❣️
Cannot recommend Dr. Malotky enough!! I recently had a breast augmentation and I never expected to have the great experience I did! I would do this procedure 10 times over with Max! From my first visit to my last, he was always so kind and took his time to explain everything to me and made sure to answer any questions I had.
I was fully expecting to have a painful recovery, but it was honestly such a breeze! If I ever had a question or concern, I could call the office and his staff would listen and assure me, and if needed Dr. Malotky would call me personally to discuss my concern. A huge thank you to both Max and his team!
As someone who has struggled with body image and trust issues for as long as I can remember, after giving birth to 4 children (one being a twin pregnancy) I found myself constantly wanting to shed the extra skin I had lingering on my lower abdominal area. After several consultations from the bay area, up towards the Oregon border, I finally settled on Dr. Malotky.
Not only did he and his entire staff make me feel comfortable, welcome and safe in their care, they provided a high-quality level of service from the moment I called to make a consultation appointment, to my last post-operation appointment and even now if I bug them with a question here and there.
I am now just over 5 months post operation from my tummy tuck with muscle repair. I finally feel comfortable and confident in my own skin and receive compliments on a very regular basis. Only thing I would change, is having done the procedure sooner. I will never stop recommending Dr. Malotky and his staff!
Went in wanting an improvement…was not expecting literal perfection as results! My mind is blown from my transformation. I came across Dr. Malotky’s work on social media and loved the before and after pictures I saw. Drove from a large city I live near and headed to the mountains, even with all the options nearby, to specifically meet him and see what he would say about my breast augmentation revision.
I knew right away when I met the staff and met him, I was going to have my surgery performed by him. It’s like he read my mind and told me what to do based on the results I wanted and I am so glad I listened! I wanted a certain look, he knew exactly what to do, by far exceeding any expectations imaginable. Highly recommend him to anyone. Very personable and amazing team from front to back.
Imagine walking full of trepidation into an office for a first-time procedure consultation and you’re greeted by rainbows and butterflies (Sara) and your nerves instantly vanish. You’re then called back to confide your medical history and cosmetic desires (shameful, confusing) but you’re met with giggles, comfort and charisma (Christy).
Finally, the SURGEON comes waltzing in with jokes, knowledge, passion, and confidence (Dr. Malotky) and next thing you know you’re scheduling an appointment to have a major operation because you instantly trust these people with your life… literally! I’m about 8 weeks post-op and give Dr. Malotky and his crew a big and shiny gold star, A+.
Aside from the incredible bedside manner and comforting crew, the results of my breast mastopexy/ augmentation are beyond my expectations. My confidence has been restored as well as my faith in humanity just by my encounters with his staff. THANK YOU ALL at Summit Plastic Surgery :’)
Best in town and all around! Dr Malotky and team worked wonders for me! Not only is he confident in his work, he’s makes the whole thing super comfortable and leaves you feeling beautiful inside and out. He not only changed the way I look, he changed my life. I’m super grateful with the outcome of my procedures.
I was referred to Dr. Malotky after being diagnosed with breast cancer for reconstruction after double mastectomy. Dr. Malotky was kind, informative and helped me through an otherwise overwhelming process.
His staff were always warm, welcoming and provided friendly support over the many times I had to return to the office throughout the process. Dr. Malotky has a fantastic bedside manner and was there to reassure and comfort me before and after both surgeries. His work is incredible and I couldn’t be more pleased with my results! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
