WARNING --- BEWARE. Do not go into surgery with Dr Anthony Bittar. He disfigured and deformed my nose by using outdated methods and making changes while I was unconscious that were not agree to. SEE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS In 2024 I contacted Dr Anthony Bittar to repair a deviated septum so I could breath properly internally through my nose. A very simple procedure. He made a comment in our meeting "do you want me to remove the bump on your nose's bridge at the same time. Just to make it flat" That is all that was ever mentioned. "I will just slightly shave down that bump at the same time". He made it sound like nothing. I came out of surgery and he had completely changed the size and shape of my nose. He assured me it was just swelling and that would go down. After having 3 different respected surgeons inspect what he did. They all were shocked at his work and what he did without prior approval. 1) He excessively flattened the dorsum (bridge of the nose), resulting in an unnatural and concave profile. 2) He added cartilage to the tip of my nose--an unrequested change he later admitted to--which created a permanent large, bulbous appearance. 3) He significantly altered the overall size and structure of my nose All these things were decisions he made without my consent. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN Read his reviews by sorting them by 1 star and believe them. He subsequently offered to 1) refund me half of my money 2) do the operation again and 3) install semi permanent filler in my nose. Total admission of guilt. All I refused. How could I ever trust him again. Once you are on the operating table he does what he likes. None of the above was ever agreed to. The whole time he gas lights with all his communication. I now have to go through the expense and pain of having surgery again to fix his horrible horrible work. I currently have complaints submitted to the Texas Medical Board, other malpractice entities and his affiliated hospital credentialing boards. read more

Dr. Bittar is wonderful! He saw me after a terrible mess of a surgery performed by someone who should really not even be allowed to practice. He was uber professional, kind, and patient. Sat with me to explain what I was seeing on the scan, and answered all of my questions. Knew what to try in order to address my sudden hearing loss, and it worked! I'm very grateful. read more

I am in AWE of Dr. Bittar and his team. I've been searching for years for the best doctor to not only fix my septum issue but also the bump on my nose. Sooo ya girl got a nose job and it turned out magical. I am so thankful that through a network of people and past experiences I was sent to Dr. Bittar. He explained the process and why and what he was going to do. He said that my nose would fit my face and that I would be able to breathe, after years of sleepless nights. 10/10 would highly recommend. read more

Dr. Bittar changed my life. I dealt with sinus and ear issues for several years, got mis-diagnosed multiple times by multiple ENTs. My friend recommended I go see Dr Bittar and at my first appointment, he diagnosed my issues in 30 min and no other ENT ever said those things. I agreed to a surgery to fix it and 2 weeks after surgery, I CAN BREATHE!! Thank you for everything, Dr. Bittar. You changed my life! read more

Six weeks ago, Dr. Bittar performed septoplasty and turbinate reduction on my nose which had been injured when I was a high school student many years past. Two weeks before that surgery, he gave me a complete ENT examination, cleared my ears of impacted cerumen, and noticed my nose injury. He said he could fix it and help me to sleep better. This is my first surgery, not counting tooth implants. Right away I responded to him, "Let's do it!". I have previous history with Dr. Bittar. My last visit to his office was in 2017 when he removed impacted cerumen and cotton from my left ear. I had forgotten I had a cotton wad in my ear and continued pushing it in even more with my hearing aid ear mold. It hurt so much. Finally, I ended up in Dr. Bittar's office without any insurance. His office agreed to treat me as I agreed to pay on the spot. Well Dr. Bittar looked in my ear and said, "We have been putting cotton in our ear?". I had forgotten about it and replied that I didn't think I had. Well, he used that little magic vacuum cleaner and pulled that cotton wad out, it was instant relief! I then adoringly listened to every word he said afterwards. He said that we should not be putting anything smaller than our elbow into our ear, especially not cotton. I responded that Q tips feel so good. He countered saying "If you want to pay me to clean out your ears, then go ahead." That is why it has been a few years between visits, I don't do that anymore. Recently, I have been sleeping longer hours, actually dreaming, and feeling more rested. He is so right, breathing is really all that and more. With his staff and associates, Dr. Bittar is formidable, I am glad he is my advocate. I want to be strong like him. Thank you so much. read more

Dr Bittar is a very skilled and experienced doctor. I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction along with some cosmetic adjustments to my nose, which turned out beautifully. The procedure was very smooth. The pain was minimal - I used Tylenol instead of the prescription pain killer throughout the healing process. I am so grateful to Dr Bittar for his kindness and expertise. I feel great and I love my nose! read more

Doctor Bittar is such an amazing doctor. I came into his office because I was having difficulty breathing out of my right nostril. He told me that I did in fact have a deviated septum and the best option would be surgery. As he is also a plastic surgeon, I decided to make a few very minor changes to my nose. I did like my natural nose but I had a very slight hump, uneven nostrils, and I wanted a more defined tip, but I still wanted it to look like my nose, just a little bit cuter. I had my initial appointment with him back in October and I waited to get my surgery until January. I went back in one more time a week before my surgery just to go over the changes I wanted cosmetically and he had the perfect plan. At that appointment, he took away all of my anxiety regarding the surgery. The surgery itself went incredibly well and everyone at the hospital was so sweet. The recovery was difficult for the first few days, but that was to be expect. I'm now three weeks post-op and I'm definitely still swollen and my nose is still pretty sensitive, but I already love my nose so much!! I can't wait to see how it looks when I'm six months post-op. I attached photos of my before and after. The changes he made are small, but made a huge difference. I can also breath so much better now. I'm so grateful I found doctor Bittar and he performed my surgery. read more

See all

Dr. Bittar said my septum was seriously deviated and advised a septoplasty. I'd never had significant issues but the promise of better breathing made me believe I didn't know how bad I had it. The recovery for this is much worse than I was led to believe. After recovering, I realized that there was no difference and I am reasonably certain that this op was completely unnecessary. 8 months post op. I feel pressure in my nose that I thought would go away in time but after 8 months, I decide to follow up. He agrees that this shouldn't last more than 3 months but otherwise is dismissive. Some quotes from Dr. Bittar: "Maybe you are thinking of your nose too much" "Try not to think about your nose so much" "I've done over 6,000 of these" I was polite and patient but no matter my inquiry, Dr. Bittar seemed convinced that I was making up symptoms. I will find another ENT rather than argue with a doc that isn't willing or capable of dealing with something unexpected. Other notes: Office wait times are pretty awful even if you have an early appointment. Expect to wait at least 30 minutes beyond appointment time. read more

I sustained a broken nose as a result of a fall, face plant actually. Dr. Bittar is so gentle and compassionate. He was able to determine the sever damage, and then surgically repaired my nose. He is amazing, I think my nose looks better now than before it was injured. If you're looking for a highly-skilled doctor who has compassion and a great attitued, he's your guy. read more

After a ultrasound findings of possible thyroid cancer. I was on the hunt for a good ENT. Little did I know I wouldn't find a ENT in my hometown of San Antonio. I decided to look in Austin. A true blessing in Disguise Dr.Bittar is beyond 5 stars. He makes you feel comfortable and reassures that your going to be ok with his knowledge and experience. After reviewing my ultrasound we decided to bypass the biopsy and schedule surgery for removal of tumors on thyroid, I'm thankful we went that route bc it was cancerous. Being that Dr.Bittar is a plastic surgeon as well you know he has the artistic eye to make everything better. Most importantly Dr Bittar's office staff is friendly and responses all questions and calls. I would definitely recommend Dr. BITTAR to my family and friends. I will continue to make the drive from San antonio to see Dr. Bittar. read more

Anthony R Bittar, MD - Day 1 post thyroid removal - Medical Spas Near Me - Austin, Texas

The front desk ladies are not customer oriented. Basically Sarah and her gossip buddy are not helping the customers. Their relationship with customers are based on lies, not return the phone calls and greedy attitude. My insurance asked for a specific papery and they refuse to collaborate. Trust me you will me thank me later . Avoid this place at all the cost. I will report these two naughty two front desk customer nurses to any insurance that I am working with. Dr Bittar front office business is completely incompetent on purpose and specially Sarah . Liars and liars . The main purpose of this wasp gossip nest front desk office is your wallet. Will thank me latter. Also, Dr Bittar is just an average doctor from plastic surgeon point of view. I had a rhinoplasty on my nose and after the surgery the nose is worse than before . His explanation shocked me : " No human being has a perfect nose and you can't fight against Mother Nature " . This old guy should not be in the plastic surgery field how so ever after this excuse. That's the whole purpose of being a plastic surgeon to fix the goddamn Mother Nature anomaly. Avoid this scam at all the cost starting with the front desk wasp nest! read more

This guy is a complete clown. I went in for a simple sinus scoping/annual checkup from a sinus surgery I had through the VA in 2019. All I wanted was my annual scoping procedure to make sure there were no polyps coming back, pretty simple. This guy shows up in a covid face diaper and rubber gloves, the same rubber gloves he was wearing from the last patient! He asked me a ton of irrelevant questions and kept pressing me on allergy shots. I told him repeatedly that I'm not interested in allergy shots and don't need them. He took forever to finally do the scope in my sinuses then after telling me everything looks good in my sinuses he insisted I needed a CT scan. He also told me I have a deviated septum and they should have fixed it in my last surgery. Wrong, I had it fixed and it's fine. I went for a checkup with a one of the top ENTs in central Texas a year ago when I had private insurance and he said everything was fine, they did a great job and I didn't need a CT scan. This dork then insisted that the CT scan the VA originally gave me wasn't as good as what he could do. He has no idea where I got the CT scan, what equipment was used, or who did the surgery. I had it done at UCSD medical center in San Diego, which is attached to the VA. My surgeon is one of the top ENT surgeons in all of Southern California, and the equipment they used was stat of the art, so I'm pretty sure I trust my surgeon over some whack job who runs his practice out of the same office where they do botox injections. All his office equipment was older than he is and when he removed the scope from my sinuses, he didn't even sterilize it with alcohol, just rubbed some soap and cold water on it for about ten seconds and called it a day. Between that and not changing his gloves between patients, I don't know how this guy hasn't been sued. Maybe he has been sued. When I told him I didn't want the CT scan, he rudely questioned me and I said "I don't want it, because I'm not having any symptoms and the scope looks fine, I don't think it's necessary." He then condescendingly replied "oh, so you're the doctor now huh?" No, I'm the patient and if I don't think a CT scan is necessary, then I'm not getting one. It's clear all he cared about was trying to charge the VA for allergy shots and a CT scan that I not only didn't want, but don't need. Avoid this clown read more

Dr. Bittar is a phenomenal ENT and Surgeon. After suffering from a badly broken nose and deviated septum - Dr. Bittar performed surgery to correct my breathing as well as the appearance of my nose. For the first time in years, I can breathe deeply and feel confident in my appearance! Dr. Bittar is not only incredibly talented, but he is also kind, generous, and will go out of his way to make his patients happy. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. read more

Dr. Bittar is an amazing surgeon! I seriously asked if he was a magician, as I barely had any pain at all. I am so happy I finally had my septoplasty with turbinate reduction. It is amazing to be able to breathe easier!!! Wish I would have done it many years ago. Austin allergies have nothing on me NOW! read more

This doctor does not communicate very well. Absolutely does not listen. I was told that I would be in recovery for 2 weeks for my procedure. It has been over a year and I am being treated by a different doctor to finish out recovery. Facility is not hygenic. I was put in a room that had dirty tools in the sink from the patients before. There are better options out there. read more

I do not trust Dr. Bittar, and would not recommend him to anyone. The procedure he performed reduced my quality of life, and cost me a lot of money and pain afterwards. After struggling with allergies for a good part of my life, I was desperate. Dr. Bittar made it seem like a septoplasty/turbinate reduction would change my life. He made it seem easy. Well, I got the procedure, and it didn't go well. I had stints in my nose for weeks. It was hard to breathe or sleep. When they finally came out, I followed up weeks later. I still was not breathing well out of my right nostril. Dr. Bittar told me that some people just don't breathe well out of one nostril. It was natural. No, Dr. Bittar. It was INFECTED. The surgery that YOU CONDUCTED left me with an infection inches away from my eyes and brain. I know this, because another doctor showed me. I could see the infection that was caused by your procedure. It has taken months to heal. I have felt worse than I did before I even had this dumb expensive surgery. Dr. Bittar is consistently late for his appointments...even when you're his first patient that day! He treated me like I was nuts for doubting him, and interrupted me frequently. No thanks. FIND ANOTHER ENT. read more

Dr. Bittar is an AMAZING surgeon and ent!! He performed my septo/rhinoplasty + turbinate reduction. I'm currently 12 days post op and i'm already loving my new nose and it feels like I can truly breathe for the first time!! He has an awesome staff and truly cares about each one of his patients. I would recommend Dr. Bittar to anyone who is looking! read more

Dr. Bittar performed my tonsil and septum surgery. The whole experience was great, and he explained what to expect and it was spot on. Since then, I've recommended him to 2 family members and a friend. They all had surgery with him and had great experiences. read more

Dr Bittar saved my life. Apparently I've had thyroid cancer for a number of years and none of my drs caught it even after telling them repeatedly the symptoms I've had ongoing. Well In sept a small lymph node near my thyroid began growing and was tender and I was finally referred to dr Bittar after mths of complaints. From the moment I met him I felt safe and confident in his skill and abilities. On Monday 12/27/21 dr Bittar performed surgery to remove my thyroid and the lymph nodes around it. I had a cancer tumor that had grown rapidly and surrounded my jugular and Vegas nerve which he had to cut and reattach to remove the tumor. I am in awe at how good the surgical site looks even the day after when I left hospital. Dr Bittar said that was the most difficult surgery he's ever performed (6+hrs) and I'm so grateful he is my dr. Every step of the way he answered my questions with gentleness and patience. He is such a warm caring person. What a blessing Dr Bittar is. read more

Anthony R Bittar, MD - 2 days after thyroid cancer removal. Getting ready to be discharged for home. - Medical Spas Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dr Bittar is an excellent ENT physician and cosmetic surgeon. I was having severe daily headaches. I couldn't breathe well due to a previous skiing accident which broke my nose and created a deviated septum. Due to having survived septic shock 4 years earlier, it has been wreaking havoc on my organs. During surgery, Dr. Bittar discovered that all my sinuses were infected and blocked by growths. I was in surgery for 4 hours, and the operating nurse told my friend that she had never seen such extensive and excellent surgery. He is an artist and not on an ego trip like many of the cosmetic surgeons that I have checked out to repair my nose so I could breathe and remove the bump. Dr. Bittar explained everything ahead of time about my breathing problem, yet he ALSO cleared out ALL of my sinuses from infections and blockages. This is why he is so good, he is conscientious, talented, warm and his whole staff is as friendly and gracious as he is. Insurance can be a pain, but Sarah made it a non-issue, handling everything. I would still be having breathing problems, headaches and infections had Dr. Bittar not been so thorough. 3 months later I can fully breathe for the first time in decades, and have not had a single headache. My friends are so impressed with his work, bedside manner, accessibility and professionalism that they are booking appointments. If you have to complain about a waiting time, believe me, I would rather have the care, healing, and artistry of a true doctor who takes his time for excellence and the PATIENT! Speaking of excellence, a shout out and thank you to Michah at Beau Visage for excellent advice and amazing skills with peels and injectables! I couldn't be happier to make this recommendation. read more

Dr Bittar was always personable and professIona during each of our encounters. from the very first appointment, he made me feel comfortable with the plan of care. The result of my procedures were just what I wanted. I would comfortably recommend him read more

Micah injected Juvederm Ultra in my lips, and a bit in my nasolabial folds (smile lines) as well. I absolutely LOVE the results! She was so gentle with the syringe, considering I asked for no numbing cream, it didn't hurt at all, only a little pinch. Micah made my lips more symmetrical and full, and my nasolabial folds aren't as noticeable. I am sooooo satisfied and will definitely be back read more

Anthony R Bittar, MD - Medical Spas Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dr. Bittar is an absolute expert in his field and he has completely changed my life with his septoplasty and rhinoplasty expertise. Do not hesitate to see him. He is very kind, understanding, and a perfectionist. My situation was a very difficult one growing up and dealing with a deviated septum among all the challenges it brings. This included difficulty breathing, lower confidence from appearance, and many more. This doctor completely rewrote the rest of my life and flipped these challenges on their heads. He beautified my nose unlike anything I'd ever imagined. Additionally, even just 1-2 weeks after my surgery I am already breathing much better, sleeping much better, feeling much better overall. read more

The best ENT physician and cosmetic surgeon in South Austin!! I was very nervous about my nose procedure considering that a nose is everything. However, he exceeded my expectations. My new nose has a very natural appearance and he was able to fix all the imperfections that I pointed out. I am now 2-3 months post-op and only wish I had done this sooner. :) read more

I went to Dr. Bittar for a rhinoplasty. During the consultation period we both agreed on a very conservative, minimal approach. I even created my own photo renderings to illustrate what I wanted. I clearly explained many times that I did not dislike my nose, and just wanted to refine it without changing it much. I told him many times I did not want a "cutesy" nose or a sky slope. I wanted to keep having a somewhat larger nose with character. I didn't want to look much different and definitely not have an obvious nose job look. The day of the surgery he did not have the photo I created as he promised he would. I made the mistake of trusting him anyway. After the bandages came off it was very clear that he did whatever the hell he wanted. My nose is now tiny, looks carved in, way too small for my face, and on some photos it looks almost non-existent. Where it looked sophisticated before, now it's a generic clearly operated-on round nose with a ski slope. When I brought this up he told I I just needed to stop thinking about my nose. I look DRAMATICALLY different from what I used to now, and I hate the way my nose makes my teeth look gigantic. Stay away. read more

an amazing doctor and has amazing staff. it took me awhile to find the perfect surgeon, but i'm glad i ran into dr bittar. he was so helpful and i love how he takes his time to perfect his work to please his patients. i'm very happy with my results read more

I originally went to Dr Bittar's office for a quick laser treatment (done by a staff member), which was quick and went well. I had had what I thought was scar tissue on my face near my eye (from a car accident 20 years ago) and asked her if anything could be done about it. She asked Dr Bittar to take a quick look. He felt the area near my eye and told me that it was not scar tissue, but "foreign bodies" - probably glass - and should be removed. I made an appointment with him to remove them and indeed it was glass - two .5cm pieces! The procedure was a little scary because he was cutting out strong tissue that had been forming around the glass for 20 years and it was right next to my eye. But he had an assistant there to support me. She kept her hands on my leg, applying pressure during the tough parts, which was extremely comforting and reassuring. Maybe that's standard, but I really appreciated it and it made me feel safe. It's obvious that Dr Bittar is great at what he does, but he is also one of the warmest, kindest doctors I've ever been to - another reassuring thing. I could feel that he really cares about his patients. My scars are practically invisible now and it feels so good to show my whole face to the world! I'm so grateful:) read more

Dr. Bittar Fix my deviated septum, He talked with me about the surgery post-op everything I was going to expect from the surgery, he's kind and patient. Surgery went well I can breath so good now !!! The office staff is very kind friendly always willing to go out of the way for you rather it be an Appointment or scheduling your surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Bittar and his team Thanks Crystal read more

I had a great experience with Dr Bittar, his office and the surgical center. My rhinoplasty, septoplasty and turbinate reduction all went well. I would highly recommend Dr Bittar and his team to anyone seeking an ENT or Plastic Surgeon. read more

Dr Bittar was amazing throughout my experience with my thyroid! He listened to my concerns with a scar and you can barely see my scar now! He helped me feel so comfortable during the whole process and the office staff is incredibly sweet! read more

I came here to get Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty. First off, there was a hiccup with the total costs and when I got to the surgery center I was surprised by a bill that I was not informed of before I would have liked to know about this bill before the surgery. On the other hand as far as the actual rhinoplasty goes. I have to say he did an amazing job on the top portion of my nose. He did exactly what I asked for and was able to align my crooked nose and make it straight again and put it into place. However, I am not very happy about the lower half of my nose. The tip is waay to big and juts out and is just huge. I have this super weird look to me ever since the surgery and people have commented how I look completely different-not in a good way. Also, my smile is super jacked up. I dont know if the incision was made too close to my upper lip, but it kind of pulled to where the skin between my upper lip and nose looks super weird and my smile looks extremely strange. It really gave me this awful look that I am not happy with. A much better job could have been done in my opinion when fixing the tip of my nose. I am very unhappy with the way it looks and I look super creepy when I smile like my top lip doesnt move very well. Im into week five already and this still has not been rectified. This review will come down when something is done to correct how incredibly strange I look. I dont like my nose job at all or what its done to my overall appearance. I dont really recommend this place for Rhinoplasty. Maybe other work is fine, but maybe not a nose job. read more

I had never had surgery before my septoplasty, so I was very nervous about choosing the right doctor. I knew from my research that I wanted someone who was board certified as both an ENT and as a plastic surgeon since my deviated septum was visible through my nostril. I'm so glad I chose Dr. Bittar. He put me at ease right from the beginning, and his staff were very patient with me while I figured out my insurance situation. I now have two fully open nostrils that I can breathe through easily, and the shape of my nose did not change, which is what I wanted. read more

Dr. Bittar is an outstanding ENT. He fixed my deviated septum and listened to the minimal concerns I had about my nose. I pleaded for extremely subtle changes, and he gave me just that. I could tell that he was listening to my needs and opinions. He also removed my infected and scarred tonsils simultaneously to give me improved breathing and a decreased likelihood of sickness as quickly as possible. Everyone I worked with during this procedure was kind and caring as they made me as comfortable as they could. I would highly recommend Dr. Bittar. read more

I found the IPL photo facial package and set up my appointment to work with Micha Jones. I have rosacea and have received treatments before, but had let my self-care practices go a bit while finishing a degree. My work can be very stressful and my face shows it after a while when I'm not on top of my self-care. I am going in for my last session out of the package purchased, and couldn't be happier with my results thus far. I will definitely be purchasing another package, especially while stressors are still pretty high. Thank you,​ Micha for giving me my youthful face back!!! read more

I had Botox done on my forehead less than 3 months ago and am very DISAPPOINTED. I've called the place 3xs with them promising to get back to me, which they never did until I called yet again. Finally spoke to someone who said that this is normal. I've been having the same area treated for 5+ years and have never had such a botched injection and experience like this. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Love Love Love, ....Dr. Bittar and his injector Micah, Just had an appointment for Botox with Micah She was so amazing and informative about the procedure. Also, gave a few ideas and to weaked a few new areas for me with cost in mind. I will be seeing her soon to minimize my nasal folds and plump my lips. I really appreciate her suggestions without being too pushy or making me over done. Will be recommending to all of my friends and family, so excited I found this place!!!! read more

I have gone to visit Micah at beau visage and she is amazing! I have had at least 5 ipl photo facials and I just got my first chemical peel. I bought my first photo facial from a Groupon which was expired, but Micah still accepted my Groupon. She told me all the things to expect from a photo facial, because I was scared, and she told me how to care for my skin after. She also spoke with me about why this would be good for my skin because I have some dark spots and hyperpigmentation. She also recommended I try a chemical peel for these same areas to try and help with them! Micah is so gentle and good with my skin, and any time I need to call and ask about anything, she calls me right back. She always asks about my personal life and remembers things about me too, which you just don't get from everyone! I just can't say enough wonderful things about her!! read more

If I could give him 6 stars, I would. Dr. Bittar changed my life. I haven't been able to breath from my left nostril since I was 8. He corrected my deviated septum and cleaned out decades of sinus inflammation. It feels weird being able to breath out of my nose now. I was also really concerned about having my first-ever surgery, but his confidence and deep expertise put me at ease. He took his time to explain everything to me, review my CT scan results, and explain what he was going to do. I can't recommend Dr. Bittar enough. read more

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Bittar and his staff. My daughter had a deviated septum that needed to be fixed. She was a little nervous, but after she met him it went up hill from there. The surgery went fine, with great follow up. The interactions with their patients are so enjoyable we look forward to going in. Will be sad when we will not be seeing them regularly. read more
