    I did not have a good experience with him . Had bbl lipo 360…read more, had to have a bbl revision and i'm stilll stuck with an ugly dent . gave me a discount for Aveli treatment and i paid 1700 . Well after my bbl revision he didn't offer to comp me for that procedure since it was all a waste after a much needed revision .. no instead he offered me another discount only . As if 1700 was nothing . In regards to my BA i came in with CC and he offered to help since i was originally going to go with a surgeon that's specializes in CC and he made it seem like a quick fix . Instead of making changes to prevent CC as other surgeons suggested he used same site , no specific after care , and ultimately i developed a CC almost immediately. he didn't try any other options to at least prevent cc . Yes CC cannot sometimes be avoided , it's your bodies reaction to a foreign object and each individual scars differently. But why repeat the same process again ?!? and why shy away when there is a process to CC removal and to help your patients get a satisfactory end result. Revision for my BA a complete mess . He knew how to put in the implants but he doesnt seem confident when addressing complications and even the ones he created . When i was developing a CC in my right breast the inflammation was making it hard to my right breast incision to heal and dr franco and his staff gave me wound healing instructions contrary to what I needed . Instead I had to go to wound care and ring up a $9000 wound care bill . Instead of taking out the implant he just closed me right back up leaving a horrible scar and now i have a CC in my right breast Now i have one CC breast and one that he revised leaving with severe ptosis and looks completely different from my other breast . Cant wear a bathing suit top can't go bra less . These new Preservaion aka over the muscle implants preservation is just a fancy word . pros and cons . One of the biggest cons is your at higher risk for CC and hard to read Mammo . and that's fine and all because there are risks with the under the muscle too but my point is Get a surgeon who will follow you through, not only when it's easy . And one that will take ownership of there mistakes . Dr franco would forget what he would tell me. Change it up last minute. Gets irritated if you ask too many questions , does not take ownership of his mistakes and will tell you everything looks Great!!! when it actually doesn't If anyone would like photos for reference , I don't mind sharing . Would hate for someone to go through what i'm experiencing. Aesthetically and financially a waste. I spent close to 30 grand with this guy and could t even my Aveli Apparently this guy thinks I came to him for just for a capsule removal for 12,000. Ummm noooo i wanted to look good too .. Isn't that a plastic surgeon's specialty And of course it's now radio silent from his staff . Now i'm in the process of finding another surgeon to fix his mess .

    I recently had a cosmetic procedure done with Dr. Franco at Austin Plastic Surgeon, and I couldn't…read morebe happier with my experience. From start to finish, the communication and support were exceptional. Before the surgery, the team texted and called to check on me, provided detailed paperwork about the procedure and risks, and thoroughly reviewed my medical history. I never felt rushed, and Dr. Franco truly listened to my concerns. He was kind, patient, and reassuring through the entire process. This was my first-ever cosmetic surgery, so I was definitely nervous, but it's something I've wanted for a long time. I flew in from Denver because I didn't feel confident in my local options, and after a lot of research, I found Dr. Franco through Bliss, which connects patients with vetted and highly reputable plastic surgeons. I immediately felt I made the right choice. My pre-op appointment was smooth and efficient. I arrived a few minutes early, and they brought me back almost immediately. Dr. Franco walked me through everything step by step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I fully understood the process. On the day of surgery, even though I was anxious, I felt completely taken care of. The entire team from the nurses to the nurse anesthetist to Dr. Franco himself , made me feel safe and supported. They were warm, professional, and attentive. I'm currently one day post-op, and everything is going great. The results already look promising, and I'm excited to see how everything continues to heal. I'll update later in my recovery, but so far I couldn't ask for a better experience. If you're considering surgery and want a surgeon who is skilled, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Franco and the team at Austin Plastic Surgeon.

    I'm very happy to have selected Dr. Sashidhar Ganta for my weight-loss surgery!…read more I had surgery in August, 2018. Dr. Ganta happens to be one of the few surgeons in the country (and maybe one of two in Texas?) who can do the BPD-DS procedure. I had originally selected the bypass, but later determined that for my particular situation (not everyones) the other procedure was a better choice, and it was by luck that I had chose the only surgeon in the area capable of performing it. Dr. Ganta is quite clearly a highly-skilled surgeon, and I would imagine one of the best in the field of bariatrics. I've had absolutely no complications after the procedure, and I'm down 147 pounds, losing about 10 per month (recently, though I lost more rapidly earlier). I walked into this office for the first time with a BMI of 46, and currently have a BMI of ~24! The staff has always been great, both pre and post-op. I had great success on the pre-op (insurance mandated) six-month diet due to the outstanding nutritionist they have on staff. Her education and guidance has certainly helped me to be successful after surgery as well. The insurance billing office is very prompt and communicative, and my insurance approved the procedure promptly. This is absolutely one of the most important decisions I've ever made in my life, and I'm thrilled I chose this office and Dr. Ganta to help me get my life back! I would absolutely choose Dr. Ganta again!

    I adore Dr. Ganta. He performed my gastric sleeve in January and my gallbladder removal last week…read more Dr. Ganta is incredibly kind and caring while being straightforward and realistic. I'm so glad I found him and I could not recommend him enough. Not to mention my scars on my stomach have healed so well you can hardly see them.

    I have to start off by saying the staff I have worked with at this location were all very kind and…read moreprofessional during all my visits. The place is clean and social distancing is very well maintained. For that I would give them 5 stars. However, the reason for the low rating is the fact that I have not seen any results. It has been over 5 months, I completed my treatment plan and was told i should start seeing optimal results after 3 months from my first treatment. 5 months later NO CHANGES. I regret that I spent so much money for nothing. When I originally inquired on the website about pricing I was immediately contacted via phone. A consultant called to connect me with a sales person to walk me through the expectations and give me a quote. While I was on the web call I felt very pressured in making a decision so I could "save" money. After I pulled the trigger I was told I would get a call from my local office to make my appointment. Unfortunately that call never came, I had to search just to find the phone number to the local office. When I did call to make my appointment I had to schedule my appointment for a few weeks out. At this point I have already paid for the services that I still have not received. (Note, due to covid there were many schedule delays. which is very understanding.) I basically flushed A LOT of money down the drain. As I mentioned the staff were all very kind and professional, my review is based on the fact that I had absolutely no results. I hope your results turn out much better than mine.

    Stay away listen to the reviews! I wish I would have. I wish I could give 0 stars. I should have…read morepay attention to the red flags from the beginning, the day I reached out telling them I was ready to schedule, I received a text saying this.... Hi Liz, this is Matthew with Ideal Image. I just gave you a call. Give me a call back at 800-345-3849, we have amazing offers and if we speak today, I will get you an additional discount, up to $200 off your treatment. So I book and bring this offer up and I get told oh it's for Laser. Nowhere did it state specifically for laser, I let it go. I scheduled my appointments for January of 2026. I had purchased three things, I called on 12/18/25 to cancel two of my treatments per Jayla they had been canceled. I hadn't seen my refund yet, so on Jan 02, 2026 I called again and spoke with Michelle the office manager whom stated yes they were cancelled and your refund should be issued 7 business days. I arrived to my appoint on 1/7/26 and my injector had the syringes for two of the products, when one was suppose to have been cancelled yet another flag. In the room I was in the medical boards physician license was hanging on the wall but with an expiration of Nov 2025 another red flag. finally yesterday I went for a follow up and the whole conversation was just sad, unprofessional. IDEAL IMAGE is under transition meaning they can't sell, correct any treatment. I brought up my unsatisfactory with the injector and she let me know that's unknown as to what will happen with Ideal Image and therefore the consumers are left in limbo. I wish they would have told me two weeks ago and that would have changed the situation. I again checked with the front receptionist Brittany about my refund and she said yes it's cancelled, Michelle will call you today about it. Never got a call. So I filed a complaint with headquarters and this was their response..... Thank you for contacting Ideal Image Client Support.

Sincerely, Ideal Image Client Support Team Attachment.jpeg IIDC Headquarters Ideal Image Headquarters This is so crazy their customer service is not operational is just wild. They are still conducting business wth are yall talking about. So I then followed up with the clinic... I spoke with Michelle ( office manager) after I left a voicemail. She said she had submitted a case on behalf because she approved the cancellation but corporate denied it?! how can corporate deny when they are not operational! So we have been going back and forth. They are withholding my money and no service was rendered! she wanted to point out a part of the contract that does not apply to my situation. I will be filing with Texas Medical Board, Texas Attorney General if no good outcome I will file a lawsuit!
