Specialized Education and Training
Raised in a small town in western Kentucky, Dr. Boggess was inspired early on by his father’s own medical career to follow in his footsteps. “I used to go make house calls with my father,” he shares. “He was one of those old-school doctors who went and saw patients in their homes.” That experience sparked a lifelong commitment to medicine and personalized care.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Kentucky, Dr. Boggess graduated with honors from their College of Medicine. He remained at the University of Kentucky for his surgical internship and residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, serving as chief resident.
With his dual expertise in facial plastic surgery and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) concerns, Dr. Boggess began his career as an otolaryngologist before focusing exclusively on cosmetic facial rejuvenation.

Individualized Care in a Boutique Setting
Unlike a high-volume surgical practice that sees 20 to 30 patients a day, Youthful Reflections brings a warm, personal touch to every patient interaction. This experience begins with a thorough, unhurried, and collaborative consultation.
During the consultation, Dr. Boggess has his patients sit in front of a mirror and invites them to share what they’d like to improve. This open, nonjudgmental dialogue guides his recommendations and ensures a truly customized treatment plan.
Most procedures are performed in his office under local anesthesia with light to moderate sedation, which enhances safety and significantly reduces costs by eliminating hospital, surgery center, and anesthesia provider fees. This leading-edge approach also supports faster and more comfortable recoveries.
Dr. Boggess is deeply committed to patient education and care at every step of your surgical journey. He personally walks patients through their pre- and post-operative expectations and shares his personal cell phone number with them, remaining available 24/7 for questions or concerns.
“Dr. Boggess would sit with me until he had answered all of my questions and concerns before I left the office. He was always relaxed and did not rush me as though he was too busy to care for me. He made me feel like meeting my needs was his highest priority at that time.”
