Shumway Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Robert Shumway is 2016 President of AACS, and AACS is a DISGRACE (AACS is American Academy/​Board of Cosmetic Surgery) because members of its faculty engaged in FRAUD. Dr. E. Antonio Mangubat, Permanent Faculty with AACS, engaged in FRAUD, PROOF just search in Google for «tony mangubat». E. Antonio Mangubat performed surgeries on me that left me severely scarred & disfigured. Mangubat also completely misrepresented about the results of the surgeries, undoubtedly because his main interest was greed and profits.
I filed an ETHICS COMPLAINT against E. Antonio Mangubat with University of Washington Medicine (UW Med), an organization Mangubat said he is affiliated with. I received a response from Dr. Lawrence R. Robinson, M.D., Vice Dean. Dr. Robinson said «He [Mangubat] has never had privileges to practice medicine at Harborview Medical Center or the University of Washington Medical Center. Please be assured that we will take the actions we consider appropriate regarding Dr. Mangubat’s website. Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns with me».
As a result, based on my ethics complaint, Dr. Robinson & UW Med required Mangubat to correct his resume and make clear he is NOT currently associated with UW Med. So this begs the question, if AACS is an «organization committed to patient safety» [Source: AACS Code of Ethics], why on earth do AACS & Dr. Shumway have Mangubat as Permanent Faculty!!!

Dr. Shumway, and his team, could not be more professional, caring and helpful. I just had a surgical procedure done in his office and they were gentle and did an excellent job. Dr. Shumway is an excellent cosmetic surgeon and I could not have been in better hands. He even started all my IV’s himself. What attention to detail!
Do yourself a favor and use this office for all cosmetic surgery and procedures!

The experience I had at Dr. Shumway’s office was amazing! Start to finish the staff was very accommodating and kind.
My healing from surgery, check ups and all interactions were on point. Dr. Shumway is like an artist! Could not be happier.
Highly recommend

Things have changed at Dr Shumway’s office. I first visited Dr Shumway 5 years ago. When my husband and I first met Dr Shumway. He was attentive and reassuring. My husband and I felt like we were making a good decision. Time has proven us wrong. I have had multiple surgeries in this office, and only on one occasion have things turned out ok. Dr Shumway has become more involved in his hormone therapy, trying to sell it while we were there to get issues fixed over an infection. I have had three breast ruptures in 5 years. Yes three! it has cost us 1700.00 each time. I could have purchased insurance but was educated, although there are no guaranteed promise with breast implants, most last 10 years. The last time I went in to get my second rupture taken care of, I was left on the operating table waiting for Dr Shumway for 40 minutes while as it turns out, he was out jogging. I had a 2 o’clock appointment. I could not eat or drink all day. I had an excruciating headache and was told by Sarah (his nurse) it was due to be dehydrated. So while I waited for 40 minutes Dr Shumway was out jogging. He came into the operating room still out of breath and I asked him «Were you really out jogging while I was laying here?» He laughed and administered an injection that put me to sleep. I have had multiple other issues which can be explained as «normal experiences» when dealing with plastic surgeries but you can not feel good about a doctor who leaves you waiting on the operating table for 40 minutes while you are out jogging. I am now presently experiencing my THIRD breast rupture and I will NOT be going to Dr Shumway to have this issue corrected. Please think twice before going to Dr Shumway. On an after note, My scars are horrible! One of which the skin turned black. The skin died. No doubt in my mind.

Dr. Shumway has preformed two procedures for me. Permanent lip filler which looks very natural and an upper blepharoplasty — I love how it looks and wish I did sooner.
His staff answered any/​all questions and made me feel comfortable at all times.
Awesome all around and have recommended his services to friends and family.
Thanks!

I became aguainted with Dr Shumway about 6 years ago. I immediately knew I could trust him. His office staff is wonderful. I have had procedures done as well as a family member of mine. My handicapped sister needed special cosmetic surgery and Dr was so wonderful with her as was all the staff, especially Mary. I highly recommend him.

I have been to Dr Shumway and his awesome team twice and will go back again! The staff is professional, friendly and they really care about you and continue well after recovery. Prices are reasonable and they often have great incentives and discounts! I am so pleased with my results and it was the best decision I have ever made!!!

I researched extensively and found Shumway cosmetic surgery center. Dr Shumway and Dr. Renteria his Fellow associate and staff are amazing. From Cherise who you will meet first during your consultation process. on to Amanda and Mary who will assist you in surgery and will do your follow-​up care. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I highly recommend Dr Shumway. I have silicone breast implants. He also specializes in saline Tuba through the belly button.

Very fortunate to have found Dr Shumway and staff !
I feel when looking for a P S the bottom line has to be, the doctor has to be an expert in his field and extremely honest at the consultation as to what results are to be expected. However to find this as well as excellent bedside manner and amazing staff is kinda like Hitting the Plastic Surgery and antiaging jackpot !
I was very nervous to make the consult to «have something done «I have been on consultations In the past at different places and was very put off by the very quick kinda generic Answers to my questions and concerns. I mean this is serious business, I’m using my savings and I want in depth Informative answers!
Well it was quite different with Dr Shumway. Dr Shumway took all the time needed with me and presented different options with the associated advantages as well as drawbacks. And he’s really in to his work ! I can tell as every follow up appointment has been a learning experience of things to do to look younger, little tidbits of new research, etc
Then there is the staff. I was already prepared to go through without even really interacting with the patient coordinator and the nurses. But I am truly amazed at the staff and I feel like they really make the experience that much better, especially with
Someone as anxious as me about the whole process. For example I showed up 30 min early the day of surgery because of a misunderstanding on my part and I was cranky and close to the point of Being rude. They were just as patient with me and nice as if i was the nicest person in the world and really helped me through my anxiety about the needle for anesthesia and actually going through w the actual procedure as i was just freaking out.
The aftercare as been very thorough. I never get the feeling that I’m being rushed. Kathy Shumway goes above and beyond as she has called me back at 9pm in time to let me know that yes i can go to the floor/​barre ballet class the next morning !
I don’t, as a rule, take the time or like to write reviews. I am not compensated to write this but feel i must as i feel grateful to Dr. Shumway and staff and want to spread the word .
Oh, almost forgot, the results …
I’m still (understandably) swollen .but it appears that yes I am going to look younger and prettier ! Possibly even more than I thought… yay !

I have never left a review on here before but my breast aug consultation yesterday warranted it. I had a 1pm appt and due to opening day traffic from the del mar races I didn’t arrive until well after 2pm. Not only did they still see me, they took their time with me and had me try on several sets of implants until I was completely comfortable with the result. We discussed a lift and when I stated I didn’t want the «lollipop» scar Dr. Shumway offered an alternative method. They also don’t make you feel insecure and try to offer you procedures you don’t need. The dr. Suggested we could start with the implant and see if I really needed the lift at a later date.
As for the staff they are amazing! I feel totally confident in Dr. Shumway. He has a great way of putting you right at ease and has a great sense of humor. His partner Dr. Renteria and his patient coordinator were great as well!
The only bad review he has on here is by someone that was dissatisfied with their belly liposuction. The belly is the WORST place for a woman to get liposuction! It almost always leaves tons of scar tissue which leads to lumps and bumps. That certainly isn’t the Dr.‘s fault.
I highly recommend Dr. Shumway! I have had several consultations and he has by far been the best I’ve met with. I will update my review after my procedure.

I was so nervous finding a surgeon for a breast augmentation and I am SO GLAD I found Dr. Shumway! I am 3 years post-​op and have the most amazing results!
I then went back for lip augmentation to help disguise an old scar of mine and I almost cried tears of joy after seeing the work he did. His staff is SO sweet and amazing and I love them like family! Incredible bedside manner!
I wouldn’t go to any other doctor now and am so pleased with the service and skill he and his staff provide. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!

DON’T GO HERE! STOP! I would never give Dr. Shumway any stars. I had liposuction on my stomach and flanks when I was 24. He was so aggressive that he severely bruised me all over to the point where I had scar tissue afterwords and he left me ripply and dimply. He told me to massage it. He did not use a compression garment either which I’m told is uncommon. He then referred me to another doctor to fix it. I paid hundreds of dollars to get wraps from this doctor which didn’t work then I paid over $ 1000 to get endermologie and Thermage which did not fix it either. The emotional scarring is way worse though and I have suffered for years.

I e used him for years besides several board certifications he’s a perfectionist I love using him for all of my plastic surgery a true artist

went in for a consult, did restalyne under my eyes. He took a different approach than a dermatologist I had been too before. I did not like it. I went back the next week and he gave me cream. I was not happy. I went back the next week and they said I needed more restalyne to achieve my desired look. They offered $ 50 off another syringe and a free facial. I was livid. I wound up paying 200 more and I still don’t feel its perfect. the staff is very nice. I will never return.

Ok you want most recent review ;). I just had my breast augmentation thru TUBA yesterday 15^th of August. And I can’t believe it’s not that painful at all & only have minimal bruising. I thought today, second day after my surgery bruising would be more visible, but it turn out the same as yesterday. Dr. Shumway has wicked sense of humor, he made it so easy for me to decide and feel so comfy bout the procedure, all I can say ladies listen to the Doctor he’s been doing this for along time. Thanks to Dr Shumway and nurses that I had chit chat with yesterday before my surgery. Dr & staff were excellent!..

I’m definitely going to update/​edit this review in the near future to discuss my breast augmentation as I am still in the healing process and have been advised by Dr. Shumway that I will require a «touch up» in a few months so it wouldn’t be fair to rate my overall satisfaction with this particular procedure as of yet… What I can say is that I feel confident Dr. Shumway will address any issues as they arise… He put me at ease a few visits ago when he said…“They have to be perfect for me”…That says a lot about his character… I am a perfectionist and he was speaking my language…
I feel compelled to respond to Sara’s comment… Dr. Shumway is one of the kindest most personable and caring Dr.‘s out there… He has a very genuine and gentle bedside manner… Mr. and Mrs. Shumway are two of the most kindest people that I have ever encountered… They love dogs! That being said I can say with all sincerity that Dr. Shumway is far from a butcher and I have the hardly visible scars to prove it… and I scar pretty badly… Every individual scars differently… You can’t blame the way you scar on anyone… For example… I’ve had 2 seperate procedures performed by ANOTHER Dr. prior to meeting Dr. Shumway… The scar from the first procedure is hardly visible and lays completely flat… Beautiful…However the scars from the second procedure are really bad… It’s not the Dr.‘s fault…
Back to Dr. Shumway… In my experience he has gone out of his way to avoid having to make any unnecessary incisions… and the incisions he does make literally have disappeared over time… Even with my latest surgical procedure he could have made a vertical incision to make his job easier but he opted not to as to ensure minimal scaring… He does highly recommend using a silicone cream with a built in SPF30 sun block on your scars called bioCorneum as soon as you can to ensure the best possible results… In conjuction with the silicone cream I use Trader Joe’s Extra Virgin Organic Coconut oil not just on my scars but in place of lotion all together…
A few post op visits ago I opted to have my forehead area treated with Botox while I was there… While some places charge per unit… Dr. Shumway offers a flat rate per area… That included any necessary touchups… and even though I asked for Botox Mary, knowing my financial situation and speaking from personal experience suggested I try the Dysport as it is less costly and lasts a little longer than the Botox… I’m a big baby with a very low tolerance for pain and Mary even held my hand while Dr. did his thing… When I went in the following week for my post op check up and Dysport touch up they were running behind and I expressed to Amanda and Jillian that I could no longer wait… I was a little bitchy which I feel terrible about as I later learned that Dr. Shumway was dealing with an emergency… Amanda reacted swiftly… She went and grabbed a syringe… Got me back in the room… Topless…and before I knew it Dr. Shumway was in the office and touching up my forhead while Amanda held my hand… No charge… We went over proper breast support and I learned some very vital information… Dr. is not a fan of Victorias Secret bras when it comes to quality… He sent me to Nordstroms… Dr.‘s orders! Gotta love this guy!
In summary Shumway Cosmetics is not just all about the money… Obviously they have a business to maintain but there is a very strong personable feel in the office… You don’t come across many offices like this in an industry where it’s all about the money for the most part… Dr. Shumway is out to please… His staff is small and more than efficient… Talking to Mary is like talking to your best girlfriend… The office has that family ran business feel to it which is rare these days… Mary, Kathy, Amanda, and Jilllian are all very sweet and easy to get along with… They do have a patient coordinator now and I apologize for not recalling her name… I did have a issue with her early on but it was a miscommunication and Kathy quickly stepped in and rectified the matter within the same day despite her busy schedule… They are always available day or night and on weekends to address your concerns or answer any questions you might have… If you’re unhappy Dr. Shumway will do his best to accommodate you…
I would strongly advise to keep all of your post op appointments and follow all of Dr. Shumway’s instructions to ensure the best possible outcome of any procedure… I would recommend Shumway cosmetics to anyone… Please feel free to message me if you would like any further detailed information regarding my procedures or any questions/​concerns you may have…

This man is a BUTCHER! I have the horrible scars to prove it. I reported him to the Plastic Surgery Board accordingly. What an unethical monster. The sad part is he was recommended.

Last December I purchased a Groupon – $ 119 for 2 face micropeels. As of a little earlier this year I’d redeemed both micropeels and am now here to sing some praises.
Jillian did both of my micropeels, and I really like Jillian. I noticed fellow Unilocaler Christina R. mentioned Jillian has «a very calming voice and personality.» What a nice compliment, one I very much agree with.
A micropeel session lasts about an hour. I’d describe the major events as, first, the cleansing of the skin, followed by the scraping off of some hair and surface skin (this part makes me stifle giggles because it feels like I’m being shaved), application of glycolic acid (there are at least 2 different % concentrations available, and I’ve tried them both), cleansing of the skin again, and then finally application of a heavy moisturizer for your fresh skin. I’m sure I left out a few steps, but that’s the gist of it in layman’s terms.
Application of the acid amounts to a stinging sensation for a few minutes. Thank goodness for the little fan that’s pointing at your skin for those few minutes; without it the experience would be less pleasant. After each micropeel my skin felt particularly smooth, looked fresh, and just felt so darn clean! I was told to expect a little redness and/​or drying in the days following my appointments but didn’t experience either.
I’m thankful for a lot of things, and Shumway Cosmetic Surgery is one of those things. Happy Thanksgiving!

About six months ago I came to Dr. Shumway’s office for a TUBA (Trans-​Umbilical Breast Augmentation) AKA «through the belly button» and I am very pleased with the results. All of his staff were helpful, friendly, took a good amount of time with me on each visit, and made me feel welcome and well taken care of. I believe Dr. Shumway is the GO-​TO expert for this procedure, which is why I choose him, and I am sure glad I did. No complications, I had my surgery on a Monday and was at a wedding THAT Friday, although I did follow his direction to «take it easy» which is very important.
I am shocked at how affordable his procedures are. The value WELL exceeds what you spend.
After a few months I did start to experience the beginning stages of «capsular contraction» on one breast, which means my body started to form scar tissue around one of the implants, but this had nothing to do with Dr. Shumway, in fact, this is very common for any patient, it just meant my body decided it wasn’t used to the implant being there and I needed to massage it more deeply, just as he instructed, which I have, and the situation has improved. Just follow his instructions and everything will turn out perfectly!

Bought a groupon for here and what a deal!!! Jillian is the aesthetician here and she is wonderful! I can’t comment on surgery, but I go in once a month for a micro-​peel and come out feeling fabulous! She uses the lowest strength on my skin and it goes very quickly and smoothly. It’s minimally painful, just a brief burning sensation for a few minutes. She recommends these peels over micro-​dermabrasion which she feels is potentially permanently harmful to your skin.
The setting is very relaxing and professional. She answered all my questions in detail with ease. Her hands are very steady and she has a very calming voice and personality.
Pamper yourself and try it out!
