Gavin Dry, MD

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon · Bellevue, WA

Dr. Gavin Dry, MD, CMO

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Gavin Dry is a board-certified plastic surgeon and Chief Medical Officer of Athēnix, bringing over 25 years of surgical experience and thousands of procedures to our Bellevue center. A graduate of the University of British Columbia and a product of the University of Washington’s plastic surgery residency and fellowship programs, Dr. Dry has spent his career at the intersection of technical precision and compassionate patient care. He holds certifications from the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Northwest Society of Plastic Surgeons, with surgical privileges at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue.

Dr. Dry’s expertise and outcomes have earned him consistent national and regional recognition. Castle Connolly has named him one of America’s Top Doctors. Seattle Magazine, 425 Magazine, and Seattle Metropolitan Magazine have each recognized him as a Top Doctor in plastic surgery. King 5/Evening Magazine named him Best Plastic Surgeon in Western Washington, and Seattle Magazine’s Best of the Best list has featured him as a top choice for patients seeking plastic surgery in the Puget Sound region. He has also appeared on Access Hollywood and the King 5/NBC Seattle network, reflecting the broader reach of his reputation.

Dr. Dry’s primary specialty is body contouring surgery for patients following massive weight loss, a demanding subspecialty that requires both technical mastery and a deep understanding of how the body changes after significant transformation. His signature procedures include body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, and breast augmentation, though he performs the full spectrum of plastic surgery procedures available at Athēnix Bellevue.

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon · Bellevue, WA

Dr. Walter Sweeney, MD

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Walter Sweeney is a board-certified plastic surgeon known throughout the Bellevue and greater Seattle area for his precision, artistry, and commitment to results that look and feel natural. Trained at the Cleveland Clinic College of Medicine and Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s plastic surgery program, Dr. Sweeney brings the rigor of a peer-reviewed research background to every procedure he performs. His published work spans prestigious journals including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, reflecting a depth of academic and clinical engagement that distinguishes him as both a practitioner and a contributor to the field.

At Athēnix Bellevue, Dr. Sweeney specializes in facial procedures and the full spectrum of breast surgery. His facial expertise includes facelift, mini facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, and buccal fat removal, with a focus on results that restore harmony and natural proportion rather than an operated appearance. His breast surgery practice covers breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast revision, and combination procedures including mommy makeover. Dr. Sweeney’s approach to every case begins with listening: he takes time to understand each patient’s goals before designing a treatment plan tailored to her anatomy and aesthetic vision.

Patients consistently describe Dr. Sweeney’s consultations as thorough, honest, and reassuring, and his results as natural, precise, and long-lasting. His commitment to innovation, patient safety, and individualized outcomes makes him one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons serving the Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Seattle communities.

Dr. Dry & Dr. Sweeney Patient Reviews

“Dr. Sweeney is fantastic! He has great vision and skills in plastic surgery. He is honest and very kind. Takes time with his patients' wants and needs. He makes you feel like you’ve known each other forever, very comforting when you may not be comfortable in your own skin.”

ReaofSunshine143, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

“Would do it over and over again! My results are beyond what I hoped for. I am forever grateful and this was the best decision I could’ve ever made!”

Mslynn555, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

“Dr. Sweeney is a master of his craft! For those that don’t want to read the entirety of this review, let me summarize by saying Dr. Sweeney is phenomenal!!!!!”

FoxLA, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

“It has been a year since seeing Dr. Sweeney for my surgery and I am very happy with the results! Very natural! He gives the best, most thorough consultation of any doctor. Much better than most! He leaves you with no doubts!”

Janis B., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

“How much I praise about Dr. Sweeney is less! He is one of the best doctors I have ever met. We came to see Dr. Sweeney in March for my daughter. She is 8 years old and she had a pilomatricoma cyst on her face. Dr. Sweeney did the surgery and she is fully recovered.”

Sarmili G., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

"This doctor is a lifesaver!!! So I was at a party on Saturday night and I took a bad spill and face-planted on the dance floor and split my chin right open. I got up, blood was gushing down my neck. I called the emergency number at midnight. I was stunned that he was able to get himself there so quickly. He was so professional, compassionate, caring, and took his time."

Alessandra D., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

I came to Athenix years ago for some improvements to my body after having my 2 beautiful kids. This is a hard choice to make when you’re a Mom! Athenix made it an easy choice. From my first visit the front desk and my consultant made me feel like family. I had surgery with Dr Dry who’s bedside manner is excellent and even better my results are everything I hoped they’d be. He is absolut...

Athēnix Patient, Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Dry

I told myself I would give my body a year before I wrote a review and here are my thoughts. I LOVE my results just as much now as I did then. I had a crazy quick recovery but I’m grateful for that since my son wanted to be more attached to me after my surgery. I was seen by Dr Dry and the man can work magic. I was nervous at first but after my first visit with him he said “oh you will be an e...

Stephanie B., Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Dry

I have received a few different procedures here. All of the staff from the front desk to the surgery staff are amazing. Jessica does an amazing facial and is so fun and personable. Dr. Dry performed my surgery and put my mind completely at ease, and was honest and realistic. The OR staff were also fantastic. Julius held my hand, and talked to me calming my nerves as I was getting anesthesia. Megan and Li...

Marie W., Google Plastic Surgery Patient, Dr. Dry

The whole team at Athenix is amazing! I first consulted with Elle back in September and immediately knew I wanted to book with them! I just had my belt lipectomy with Dr. Dry and absolutely love my results and I’m only 15DPO!! You can tell Dr. Dry takes pride in his work and is a perfectionist. My incision is so clean and healing nicely. I also am having a second surgery with him in April. Every st...

Leslie M., Google Belt Lipectomy, Dr. Dry

Love love love everything about this office and it’s staff! Dr. Dry did AMAZING work, and everyone was so kind and helpful. They make sure you feel all the way comfortable and that all of your questions are answered. They have always taken the time to see me if I feel unsure about my healing progress and I trust their knowledge. I would never go anywhere else for work!

Sierra R., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dry

The absolute BEST EXPERIENCE! I had an Extended Tummy Tuck, Liposuction of the flanks,  and a Breast Lift at Athenix Body Sculpting Institute in Bellevue, WA, 30 days ago. I cannot say enough about the experience from start to finish. From my 1st consult with Elle, to our many many emails, to the pre-op and post op.. everything was amazing. The patient consultants really care about you and the Nurse...

Cindy W., Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Dry

I had my implants removed back in May by Dr Dry and I couldn’t be more happy with the before, during and after care and the outcome! The nurses and the staff were phenomenal! I didn’t realize how invasive of a surgery it was to have implants removed in comparison to place them and Dr. Dry took the time to thoroughly  explain what all I can expect from the surgery! He’s a very carin...

Tonia S., Google Breast Explant, Dr. Dry

I am a little over 3 months post op and LOVE my results! Dr. Dry and all of the staff were so welcoming, knowledgable and accommodating through the entire process! Not to mention Dr. Dry delivered in every way with what I was hoping to achieve. Everything from the entire process down to the procedure was so easy and comfortable I’d do it 100x over! So so happy!!

Hannah H., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dry

First off I want to say how grateful I am for the amazing care I received from the team at Athenix! I was treated with the utmost respect!

If I could give them 5+ Stars I would. The initial consultation was easy as can be with Katie. All of my communicatiom after scheduling were excellent with Anna. Dee who helped me with my pre and post appointments were informative, comforting and I felt like she really had my best interest in mind addressing all my questions and concerns. The day of surgery I was anxious and Michelle was a breath of fres...

Johni G., Google Tummy Tuck Dr.

I can't understand why this guy isn't more popular. He has changed my life dramatically! He listened to my concerns and he even fixed my tummy tuck that was performed by another Dr. He is the best in WA and needs more recognition for what he can do! Thank you Dr. Dragotti!
