I cannot speak for the results of any plastic surgery procedure BUT when I initially made the appointment, I found the staff to be exceptionally kind and gracious. Upon meeting the Doctor, I was sure I would proceed because he was as personable (and of course informative) as the staff. The only reason I did not proceed was due to the recovery time for what I thought was a minor procedure. When told I could not lift over ten pounds for at least seven weeks, I had to decline. I live on a ranch with livestock and there is no way I could go that long without my husband needing help lifting equipment, feed, fencing, etc. Had I lived in the burbs with a Chihuahua, you bet I would have continued with my plans. read more

Although I did not move forward with the Facetite/Necktite procedure. I was highly impressed by Dr. Koneru's education, accolades, and experience. Also, Amaya, the patient care coordinator's professionalism, knowledge, and practice protocols are outstanding. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. Kindly, Tracy V. read more

Life Changing! After losing 140 pounds I desperately wanted the excess skin in my upper and lower arms removed. Dr. Koneru was my 2nd opinion but after my first appointment my decision was made. Dr. Koneru took time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions. The office staff was pleasant and attentive to my every need. My post surgical care was incredible. All of my expectations were exceeded, I am so happy with my transformation. read more

Dr. Koneru was recommended to me for my breast reconstruction after my mastectomy in 2013 and I couldn't have been more pleased. Last year, after losing weight, I wanted to get rid of excess skin and cellulite on my thighs. I returned to Dr. Koneru and he performed a very expensive thigh lift. This procedure didn't lift at all. My scars are on the inside of both thighs and my skin is still drooping. Although most of the excess skin is gone, the cellulite is horrible and so much fat dropped to my knees that they knock into each other when I walk. I simply wanted to lift the skin so the cellulite would be less noticeable. On a positive note, durinDr. Koneru did make some adjustments to my breast reconstruction which turned out very well. read more

Dr. Koneru is the best in San Antonio. I have done 3 surgeries with him over the past 10 years. He recently did my tummy tuck and bbl. I am 3 weeks post recovery and can already tell the difference. read more

Oops I have not visited this place. Unfortunately it won't let me delete my review that was meant to be for another one.

Dr Koneru has been a blessing in my life since meeting him in early spring 2022. He and Dr Hall did my double mastectomy together and since then Dr Koneru has done 6 additional surgeries due to skin failure and radiation damage to my cancer side.Even when I thought I wouldn't look normal in bras and tops after so many problems with my skin after radiation, Dr Koneru performed a latissimus flap procedure and fat grafting and I have my confidence back to put on whatever I want and walk out the door.I am so thankful to have meet such an amazing Doctor, that is a kind, gentle soul.He has awesome bedside manner as well.I can tell that every time I see him in office or surgery day that he is focused on my health and happiness. Let me also talk a little bit about his office staff.Wow, they are always greeting me with a smile, always happy to help me with any concerns or questions I have. Thank You Dr Koneru and Staff for taking such good care of me during very hard , emotional trying times and helping me get to the other side of breast cancer. read more

I selected Dr Koneru at Advanced Concepts to perform liposuction on my love handles. I was so impressed with his professionalism and his great bedside manner. His office staff is amazing, very friendly and kind. I highly recommend Advanced Concepts if you are considering cosmetic surgery or any other cosmetic procedure. I can assure you they are the best. read more

Dr. Koneru and his staff have been amazing! When I decided to have my procedure, they were efficient, helpful, and competent. I was able to get scheduled during my window of availability. Dr Koneru explained all the steps in the process from surgery through healing and being cleared. I called twice after surgery with questions and was promptly responded to. Dr Koneru's office staff are caring, pleasant and friendly! I absolutely would do my procedure again! I highly recommend Dr. Koneru!!! read more

I do not recommend Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery to anyone! I was a patient of Dr. Koneru for ten years and had two previous surgeries with him, but I will never set foot in his office again. I scheduled a third surgery with him a month ago but do to a severe medical problem that arose two weeks prior to surgery I am no longer able to have any surgeries. I notified Jennifer Tisdel, his office manager, that I needed to cancel my surgery because it would be detrimental and possibly life threatening if I had any type of surgery. She told me I would have to pay a 20% non-refundable deposit if I wanted to cancel the surgery because this was a "business contract." I was not aware of this "non-refundable deposit," nor did I ever enter a contract with them or sign any paperwork which described this non-refundable deposit. Not to mention, when it is your life on the line it is not a "business transaction." When I told her this, she became very combative in the way she spoke to me. She talked down to me, was sarcastic, laughed at me, argued with me, and spoke over me and then harassed me through their patient portal app because I told her that would be the only way I would communicate with her, so it was all documented. I had to ask her THREE times in the app to stop contacting me. I asked her to provide me with this "contract" I signed, and she refused, because it never existed. Dr. K (as he is known to his patient's) then started mailing me letters, the same letter three times, two of which were certified. After the second letter, which was certified, they had documentation that I had received the letter but proceeded to send yet another certified letter. This makes zero sense; it is very unprofessional and unethical because the harassment continues. The saddest part is that I asked her to speak with Dr. K about my situation, since I was a long-standing patient, and he would not waive this so-called non-refundable deposit despite my medical condition. At the beginning, I did not think she was conveying all the information to him, but once I received the three letters signed by him, I knew he was completely aware of my condition and situation. It is unethical, unprofessional, and horrific that a doctor would not forge a deposit knowing his patient's health could be severely compromised or even die if they had the surgery. If you value your life, do not ever undergo surgery with Dr. Koneru because he obviously values money over life. read more

I love this Dr Koneru. He's my Botox hero. I'm from Austin, Tx but I drive to SA to see Dr Koneru after having a poor experience locally. Dr Koneru performed my his first injections with wonderful results so I decided that surely, I can find someone in Austin because it seems so simple. NEVER AGAIN!! After my local injections, my eyebrow looked like a tidal wave. So, I repeat myself to say, "Never Again!" Dr Koneru does beautiful work and is well worth the drive. read more

I had a mommy make over and Dr koneru saw me thru the whole healing process! Highly recommend him for any enhancement Surgery needs! Hilda was also so sweet and thorough with any questions I had! Daisy Deanda read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr K and his crew. They were all so invested in my process and were there with me every step of the way. Shela would call me and ensure I felt secure with all of my decisions. She helped me through my preop and post op and made me feel comfortable. The day of surgery, Dr K came and spoke with me and then he spoke with my family after surgey. He personally called me post op day 1 and 2 to ensure everything was okay. My results are incredible. I showed my family and friends and they all want their boobs done too! Would recommend! read more

Okay, you know virtually every person has something they hate about themselves right? Well, I do too. It's my "body got stretched by babies" bump. I diet (eat rather well) I exercise, I hot yoga. Nothing. The rest of my body is getting toned and in better shape then ever, and yet still, the bump is there just taunting me. I scar easily and it takes years for a scar to heal on my body, so surgery is kind of out of the question for me. Finally about two years ago I read about a 'revolutionary way to kill the fat'. No needles, no incision, no downtime, NO PAIN? WHAT? It's called Zeltq, and was invented by Dieter Manstein of Harvard Medical School Department of Dermatology Boston, MA. You may know him as the Inventor, Fractional Photothermolysis (Fraxel™) (laser tattoo removal) Inventor, Cryolipolysis (Zeltiq™). Even still, there wasn't a WHOLE lot of information out there about the procedure, so i waited. And waited. Found a place in my hometown that offered the procedure - so i went in for a free consultation. I definitely didn't feel comfortable with the over-botox'ed staff and the doctor wasn't even in on my visit. Then I read about Dr. Koneru in San Antonio - who'd been named the Best Plastic Surgeon several years in a row by Texas Monthly. I scheduled my consultation and appointment for two sessions (right half/left half of stomach) in two hours based on my consultation with Dr. K. Full results begin within two weeks and is "done" in about 4 months. I show up to my appointment excited about the future of my flat belly. The nurse takes a 360 shot of my stomach from all angles before we get started. Nurse says, "its gonna be a little uncomfortable for the first 2-3 minutes but it will get better". I have a pretty high pain threshold, so I dont even think I will flinch. Well apparently, a little uncomfortable means it HURTS LIKE F*CK. It's freezing/burning and sucking your skin into a vacuum type apparatus. It's not getting any better in 2, 5, 15, minutes, but finally, I get numb and used to the sensation. I EVEN START TO DOZE OFF with the hum of the machine... Once removed, my skin looks red, and frozen into the shape of stick of butter. She massages it down which hurts worse -- imagine a hard massage on frozen rugburn.... She tells me I need to do this 5 times a day for 5 minutes for the next 5 days in order to break up the fat cells that were deteriorated. I CANNOT Imagine touching this skin.... And now its onto another hour of torture on the other side of the stomach. Days 1 -7 Skin is numb on top, but I can feel the sore muscles underneath while i wince my way through the 5/5/5 massages. It's SUPER SWOLLEN It hurts, I can't feel my skin. It's tight, and prickles/burns. I can only wear loose clothing because I am afraid of rubbing against the skin. Day 7-10. My swollen stomach returns to the regular bulgy stomach. The skin feels a little tighter and is itchy, but is still a little numb and tender to the touch. No, fat reduction according to the scale, but I am down two pounds. Nothing fits any better though. Well - I will continue to update this as time passes.... Feel free to keep up with me. read more

My experience with Dr. Koneru was a great one. My results are better than expected. His office staff are the best! I am so glad I chose Dr. Koneru. read more

Not worth putting up with the receptionist. Setting up the initial consultation was a pain. The consultation went well with the doctor and his nurse. Later on while calling for additional questions, i was constantly interrupted and talked over. She is very rude and did not make this a fun experience instead extremely stressful. When i called back moments later to cancel she had no apology and stated it wasn't her that answered the phone moments ago. A normal person would apologize for their coworkers even if it wasn't them. I'm getting my procedure done else where. And she is the only reason. Why get a procedure done at a place where front line isn't welcoming or homely. read more

I just want to say that I totally felt right at home at Dr. Koneru's office. Not only did he make me feel very comfortable there in his office but so did his whole staff. They were all so nice to me. I will definitely recommend Dr. Koneru to all my family and friends for any plastic surgery they need to have done. I will be the first to say that they will be very happy with his work ,I know I definitely am very happy with the Dr.s work of art because that is what he does. Work of art. Thank you Dr. Koneru for making me feel like a whole woman again. What you did for me is priceless. Thank you. read more

After suffering a cut on the forehead while playing a game of basketball, I decided that risking such a prime visual area of my body to the local ER was not the best idea. It was nearly after hours, but Dr Koneru's staff was extremely polite and asked if he would see a walk-in. I rushed over to the office on Treeline, which was very impressive and well appointed. The full thickness laceration was nearly 2 inches long and ran through part of the eyebrow. Fortunately, he was able to clean and trim the incision to where he thought it could pass for a wrinkle in the future. The process was painless with the lidocaine block and his bedside manner was very comforting as he was able to converse and put me at ease, while at the same time doing an expert job with the repair. My eyebrow was saved, my vanity was restored, and I truly appreciate Dr Koneru staying over an hour late to help me out. It was a good decision!! read more

Great experience. Advanced Concepts is the best office in San Antonio; Dr. Koneru, Linda, and Hilda are a great team. They all genuinely care about you and your goals, all the while maintaining a comfortable environment and judgement-free zone. Dr. Koneru is a brilliant and experienced surgeon who listens to your concerns and guides you in the right direction. I went in for a septoplasty & rhinoplasty and told him how I thought I also had a weak jawline. He understood what I was trying to express but told me it was my chin, not my jaw that was affecting my profile. I have since recovered and I love my results! He is very patient with questions and thoroughly explains everything. Linda is incredible as well. The place I got my blood work done before surgery was slow to fax over the results. Linda drove to the hospital at 6am to give them my papers & so I would not have to get more blood drawn again. She definitely went above and beyond and truly cares! No doubt I absolutely recommend Advanced Concepts!! read more

I am beyond satisfied with my results. I look great and no one suspects I had any work done. Dr. Koneru does magic and has you looking your best and natural. If you want perfection, he is the doctor for you. His staff is awesome. They are always professional and courteous. The staff played a part in why I picked him. Other offices had staff that looked botched and so fake. The ladies here look youthful and beautiful. You are in good hands with Dr. Koneru and his staff. read more
