Dr. Virden, I was your patient in 1997, and again in 2019. I trusted you. My face looked good after $5000 in 1997, but my neck has always been an embarrassment since then. I hate really cold weather, but love the fact that I can cover my ugly neck :( Now here we are in 2019, how I wish I had never let you destroy my body on October 30th. The reason for my email, I lost my incredible husband Tim on September 25th, my best friend and the man that took the best care of me after my surgery, that YOU F$#@*& up so bad. I still have pain and total discomfort from that surgery, and IF another man should ever come into my life, I could NEVER be intimate with him, my scar is horrible and my stomach is now just under my tits. Hoping you had a memorable 12 days of Christmas, and made lots of money for your wife! Sincerely, Candice Booth read more

Thank you, Dr. Virden and Team for treating me like a family. The moment I walked into your office, I knew I made the right decision. You and your Staff are out of this world! Shout out to Ms. Espie and Ms. Angie! You ladies are amazing on how you took good care of me! Dr. Virden is an outstanding surgeon! A perfectionist, compassionate, fun, caring and amazing human being! Love you all so much! Grateful and blessed! AMEL read more

I appreciate his punctuality. He was disarming and helped me feel comfortable about the procedure I am considering.

I wouldn't go to anyone else! Everyone from the front desk to Dr Virden himself are the best. The care they show to the services themselves are number one. read more

My experience was not from Dr Virden himself but it was with his "Thereapellets" a.k.a. "Bioidentical Hormones". While they did originally bring me a great deal of relief from menopause, what they've caused in my body has turned in to a complete nightmare. I have been a patient in his office for over 2 years, paying $350 out of pocket for every dose of hormones I received. In the beginning, I felt great, but I have been chasing that feeling unsuccessfully for many months now. What they've caused is for me, at 54 years of age, is to end up with fibroids (muscular tumors) in/on my uterus. These fibroids, combined in size, are bigger than my actual uterus and have been causing me major issues with my bladder, horrible back pain and post menopausal bleeding. I came to find out that women my age do not get fibroids & that they were caused by the estrogen in the pellets. The last time I was in his office the woman who puts the pellets in decided to only use the testosterone pellet because of all of the problems with the post menopausal bleeding I had been experiencing. I literally bled every day for over 2 months! Now, having too much testosterone in my body has caused me to have HORRIBLE ACNE on my face, neck, chest & back, unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life! I have also gained THIRTEEN POUNDS with no dietary changes and am now having strange irregular heartbeats. I am going to have to have the fibroids surgically removed in the near future and my health insurance only covers 40% of the procedure. I am the proof of what can happen to someone after using these Therapellets and let me tell you, this has been a HORRIFIC nightmare to have to go through. And it's not over yet. And to think I was paying $350 every 3 months of my hard earned money to end up like this makes me sick. My thyroid Dr warned me that I could end up with tumors & extra facial hair but I didn't listen to her and boy, do I regret it!! I want the truth to be known. These are NOT SAFE TO USE. Beware and don't waste your money. I feel like such a fool. I have never had surgery before this and now I get to pay the other 60% out of pocket to fix the mess I've allowed them to make of my body. I suggest you look in to other options before you end up like me. read more

Dr. Virden is truly the best out there. He's extremely knowledgeable, educated, honest, and makes you feel completely comfortable. His staff are so nice and helpful. Aleah is amazing for Botox! Virden not only explains everything throughly, he patiently answers every question, and truly listens to how you want your body to look. I'm so in love with my results and would recommend him over and over again! read more

The incisions from my first breast augmentation with Dr. Virden were cut with precision, healed perfectly and the scar completely faded!!! Kindest and most efficient medical staff in Reno! Last week I had my latest procedure by Dr. Virden and wanted to leave a little thank you note here on yeIp and was appalled seeing some negative reviews, so I will share my experiences for the last 13 years with Dr. Virden, along with six other individuals to truly give you accurate information rather than reading rants from women who are just genuinely unhappy with themselves- inside and out. THEREFORE...... This is a six star review, because I have been a repeat customer of Dr. Virden's since 2006 and have been so exceedingly pleased that I have referred three affluent families from northern Nevada which all husbands and wives keep going back for Dr. Virden's expert skill in cosmetic surgery. These specific people have the means to see any cosmetic surgeon in the world, including Dr. Gabriel Chiu in Beverly Hills. But, they do not. They keep returning to Dr. Charles Virden. I have personally seen astonishing results of the following: - Facelifts - Brow lifts - Lip enhancement - Neck lifts (removing jowls or that turkey neck) - Breast augmentations - Tummy tucks - Lasers Last week I had my first set of implants, which lasted 13 years, exchanged for the new teardrop or also called gummy bear implants and.......they're MIND BLOWING! Nipple reduction was also preformed and I couldn't be more grateful and pleased with the artwork that went into this modification. Nursing two healthy babies really took a toll on them, but not anymore!!! I now have beautiful nipples of a 20 year old. Thank you Dr. Virden! read more

Charles P. Virden, MD - Breast augmentation- by Dr. Virden - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I purchased Botox through one of his holiday specials for a gift. The person was unable to use it so I asked if they could honor it for me in the future as I had just given birth and was breastfeeding. After waiting on a long hold I was told the office manager would call me, she never did. I called again and again and was finally told that there was nothing they could do. $500 down the drain! Worst customer service I've encountered in years. Surely they could honor it, they just didn't want to. read more

I'm the one that posted the hideous photos of the breasts. Yep, those are mine, care of yours truly, Charles P. Virden. He doesn't like women to say mean things about him-bad things happen to them; for instance once I ended up in the hospital and WOULDN'T see him, it was interesting how the minute I got to my room every nurse was mean and cruel, and I found out the reason was that they said I was a drug-seeker. His little friend, Dr. Amy Barratt, the ex-cop fired from police work was a perfect stooge to set me up! Problem was, they didn't know me; I hadn't been to Saint Mary's "seeking drugs"...I had no history with that hospital for that behavior, so where would they have gotten that idea? Was somebody butt-hurt because I called him an "asshole" in front of his peers? Must explain the text I got from him telling me I was passive/aggressive, that the "superficial" skin infection I had was "common", and my result was "high quality". You be the judge, eh? I guess it was also common to be on weeks of IV antibiotics through a pic line in my artery to my heart and 4 months of oral antibiotics. Oh, and the Saint Mary's nurses I had while in isolation those days on 6-2-14 thru 6-4-14? I guess not ONE of them could determine OBVIOUS pain from faking-while I was BEGGING for relief. They ALL just followed their scripts to almost, ALMOST destroy the life of a former outgoing, happy self-confident woman...who now struggles with severe PTSD. Imagine going to your hospital for help to treat severe pain and then being told that you're faking it while also being held in isolation with possible MRSA. As it turned out I only had cellulitis, a very painful staph/streptococcus infection that only kills 200K a year in the US. Ha. And imagine that your DOCTORS ego is so HUGE that he needs to annihilate anyone that would actually dare to challenge him, much less refuse to see him in a hospital setting because, well, you read it above. The damage he and his tank of sharks did is far more than physical. They're ALL without moral compass', and the damage is still being addressed. I'm literally warning any person that thinks they have any intention of doing anything other than what HE wants to RUN AWAY! I'm no longer afraid of any of them. They've already tortured me and taken away my peace. No, I'm not afraid anymore. Now I'm FREE! To tell you to RUN! Look harder, research more or simply DON'T DO IT! You're beautiful as you are. Email me at Learning2LiveAgain@yahoo.com for additional info. No trolls, thank you very much. I'm not bullied so easily now. Update 12-8-17 i posted these pics before but the mighty bully no doubt threatened legal action if Yelp didn't comply with his demands! Nasty man! BY THE WAY, every time I post my hideous pics they're taken off! read more

I had breast augmentation surgery from Dr. Virden 3 years ago and I could not be happier with the results. He was very thorough in explaining everything I could expect after surgery. To this day people are still impressed with the job he did and how natural my breasts look and feel. read more

I had a breast lift and my implants replaced. My breasts look HORRIBLE! It's been four months and the scars have healed pretty well but the way he cut, the placement of the incisions, and the placement of my breasts is so ugly and wrong I cried almost every day for the first two months. The doctor said I needed to give it more time and push my breasts down and over several times a day to try to get the breasts to sit in the correct position. I've tried and really worked to do that, but my breast are still too high and over too far to the sides. I push them together, and hold for a minute, many times a day, but my implants are still halfway under my armpits. I'm beyond disappointed. I'd never recommend Dr. Virden based on my experience. read more

My experience with Dr Virden and his staff has been amazing The office is very relaxing and welcoming. At first I was very nervous about my breast Augmentation procedure but I quickly felt at ease when Dr Virden explained everything in detail and answered my many questions. I am now 2 months post OP and I am beyond impressed with the outcome I feel confident again!! Thank you again very much to Dr Virden, Mrs Virden and his wonderful staff!! I will and have referred friends to come see you. You guys changed my life for the better!! Thank you read more

I have had no work done by him. However, my WIFE needed her thighs and stomach worked on after she lost over 120 pounds after a gastric bypass. My wife saw three plastic surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Virden. One was a female who just did not inspire confidence. One wanted to do the surgery in a hospital, adding over $10,000 to the bill. Dr. Virden did inspire confidence and does his work in an outpatient surgery center which made it so we could afford the surgery. The surgery went as explained and when she had problems with a few stitches after surgery, he was willing to see her immediately, even once on Saturday. The follow up care was excellent. Now my wife wants a face lift........ read more

I've had much interaction with the medical community in my (long) life, both from my family (father was a physician) and a number of surgical procedures I've had done throughout the years. Never have I come across a better practice than that of Dr. Charles Virden. He did an excellent job for me, was very fair and thorough, and never took any "short cuts". The nurses at the surgery center told me (privately) that they liked him because he never rushed a procedure - music to my ears. His attributes trickle down to his staff; they were ALL excellent. That is saying a lot because they are all so busy. Thank you, Dr. Virden. read more

I'm searching Yelp! for a good Botox doctor. I am passing over Virden's because they tell me I am too old and it probably won't "take" as well. Sure enough, it was not one of my better results (I have had Botox in many locals over the years, depending where I am at the time). Last time I went, I believe I was around 50 years old. After that appointment, I had two others at other places that were very effective! read more

So there is a lot to say about my experience with plastic surgery here. I couldn't have picked a better doctor in Reno. Dr. Virdin and his staff are amazing to say the least. I was extremely nervous about my whole procedure and was taken care of every step of the way. His staff called me and reminded me of every appointment. The night before surgery the nurse called me, the anesthesiologist called me, and the doctor called me to make sure I didn't have any last questions. I literally could not have asked for a better experience! If you want plastic surgery this is the place to go if you want to be truly taken care of and get exactly what you want! Dr. Virdin is an artist! He is very talented at what he does! Everything was perfect. read more

Dr. Virden performed three procedures on me Aug. 2010 (eyes, breasts and skin tightening on my stomach). I believed him when he told me "my eye shape would not change, I would have the same level of feeling in my breasts and the scar on my stomach would be just above my pubic area" - In truth my eyes are round, the ONLY feeling I have left in my breasts is pain and he ruined my stomach. When I spoke to a woman that works for him, all she said was to come back in and have him look at everything. Really???? This was and still is horrible. I have had another plastic surgeon look at everything and he said he could only fix 50% to 60% of what Dr. Virden ruined. This has been a nightmare. I am stuck with thick scarring that is about 3 inched above my pubic area, round eyes, pain instead of pleasure and I am our of tens of thousands of dollars. read more

I went to see Leah for BBL and Botox and she's incredibly amazing at what she does. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me during my procedures and made me feel comfortable through the whole experience. My results were amazing and I will definitely be going back to see her. If you're thinking about getting anything done, definitely book Leah!!! read more

Time to update my review! 14 years later. The past 14 years, with my implants have been amazing. They held up great - even through two pregnancies (and breast feeding - yes, he was extremely careful when placing the implants, to allow me to do this). I received so many compliments about how natural they looked. Well, fast forward...it was time for me to get them out. (They don't last forever!) About two months ago, I had my explant surgery. Dr. Virden removes the implants via En Bloc (where the capsules are removed, intact, with the implants inside). This is a very difficult procedure to perform, and he is the only surgeon in Northern Nevada that does this procedure. Not only did the explant go great, he assured me I wouldn't need a lift and I would be happy with the results. Who does that? I mean, seriously, don't doctors want to make that extra money? Well, Dr. Virden doesn't! He truly cares about his patients and won't perform unnecessary procedures. I am so happy that I listened to him. I couldn't be happier with my results. He is a fabulous surgeon. Throughout my whole explant, his staff (and him) treated me like family. His receptionist always greeted me by my first name, the second I would walk in the door. This is the only office I will ever go to! read more

Was to schedule a consultation with Dr. Virden and was told that I had to see one of his assistants and that he would not see me until after that. The cost was crazy and his office staff was nothing but rude to me on the phone and when I went in person. They looked down on me and said there was no way I could see Dr. Virden. After reading some of the reviews, glad I did not get my breast done by him. read more

I recently had my 19 year old breast implants removed and replaced by Dr. Virden. My old implants were way to big for my body. They had given me neck and back issues. I could not wear a sports bra due to the weight of holding them up. They were a round implant that was over the muscle. Over the 19 years they had stretched my skin so that it sagged. For 19 years I have tried to cover up my overly large round breast. Nothing ever fit correctly. Not a bathing suit, a cute shirt, dresses, bra's, nothing. My children were always embarrassed by the size and how I looked in a swimsuit. I had to have implants removed, a lift and new implants placed under the muscle. I chose Dr. Virden as I felt he had the experience and expertise for this extremely tough repair job. I had seen his work from many of my doctor's wives. The all looked amazing. The minute I got to see my new breast Dr. Virden had given me, I cried (I don't cry.. ever). Finally, they were beautiful, they look like real breasts and they fit my body size. They were where they were supposed to be, they are cute and perky. They look like when I was 16yrs old. And in a bathing suit, OMG amazing!!! I knew I loved them but when I went to a high school baseball game and walked up to my son, he just looked at me and said, "mom you look normal, you look amazing". Dr. Virden has me given me back life, my smile, the way I carry myself and my confidence. I thank Dr. Virden from the bottom of my heart for making me me again. Glad I chose the BEST and the results show he is the BEST. I do not think any other doctor in reno could have done what he did and made them look this amazing. Also, his staff is wonderful, gentle, and caring. They make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Love that they are always smiling. Amazing office and doctor. read more

Forget the rest..... go to the best!!!!! I am so impressed with Dr. Virden! I had some serious issues on my face, and with one fell swoop...... he came in, explained it all, and gave me the best results I have seen . I have been to my share of plastic surgeons, but have never received the results that I have from Dr, Virden. I wish I had seen him sooner! I can look in the mirror and feel happy!!! What a doll, he is so awesome, and so is his staff!!! I will be back for sure!!! read more

Dr. Virden's kindness and passion for his work is beyond anything I've experienced in over 30 years of surgery as a patient and 19 years as a scrub tech. read more

I'm a breast cancer survivor and had Dr Virden remove my reconstruction because I had breast implant illness. I was very sick, and could barely leave the house. He seemed great when I interviewed him (I went to two others for a consultation). He was funny and kind, and believed me that I was sick. I told him several time that I wanted to keep the implants after they came out, and he agreed. When I was in the recovery room after surgery, my worried husband asked how I was. Dr. Virden made a crude, insensitive joke about me being flat now (as I'd had a double mastectomy). He also threw my implants in the trash, and was very defensive about it when I asked him for them. He didn't put drains in after the surgery, so a week later my chest had filled with fluid and it looked like I had breasts again. I was confused. When I went to see him for my postop, he again made horrible jokes about my chest, to my face this time. He then announced that he was going to have to put drains in while I was awake and manually empty my chest. After it was done, I was lying on my back on the table in his office crying. He jovially slaps his hand down on my newly drained breast and says, 'NOW you're flat!'. It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life, and I've had cancer. I had a breakdown shortly afterwards. read more

I had a breast augmentation done in 2014. I figured I needed a check up so I called yesterday and they were able to fit me in to see Dr. Virden the very next day! He is just an amazing guy and so is his staff. They treat everyone the same whether you're considering surgery or just need a check up. He made me feel so comfortable should I ever need another surgery I will definitely go back to see him. read more

Dr Virden is the best!!! Not only did he do an exquisite job on my surgery, but he was there for me personally every step of the way, as he is with all his patients. He was available 24/7 with any questions and concerns after my surgery, and called to check up on me! The staff was amazing, they were all so personal and always made me feel like I was a part of the family. I cannot give enough appreciation and recommendation for this office and Dr Virden!!! By far the best!!! read more

I researched for over a year and consulted with four different doctors before I decided on my procedure. Dr. Virden was hands down the right choice. He and his staff are 100% professional, accommodating and were so very patient with all of my questions and concerns. I love the results and I trust him completely. Thank you Dr. V! read more

Dr Virden and his staff are great. Very patient and understanding. Everyone is willing to help with any problems you may have. Had a procedure done and the results came out great. I get tons of compliments. I would definately come back! read more

I cannot express how highly I recommend Dr. Virden and his team to others. Their professionalism is only overshadowed by their kindness, bedside manner and ability to put you at ease immediately. You end up feeling more like family than a patient. I recently had to undergo breast implant removal (20 year old implants, under the muscle), reconstruction and breast life. I am 46 years old - and have to say, not even in my 20s or with implants have they looked better! I was very concerned of the surgery - as I have an autoimmune disorder, but again, Dr. Virden and his team, took excellent care of me. I have healed perfectly, quickly and with relatively low amount of pain. I am also a client of the Renovation Spa for facials and botox treatment - they are the best! If you live in the area - or if you are out of town - this is the place you want to be to look and feel your best!! read more

Had my lower eyes done by Dr Virden and just went in for my final post operation consult. I am thrilled and could not be happier with the results. He was really good about discussing things and keeping me in the loop. He's also no-nonsense which, as a dude I really appreciate. I recommend Dr Virden 100 percent from my experience. read more

I've had a great experience with Dr. Virden and his staff. I value his years of experience as a surgeon and I wouldn't chance it with anyone else. I never felt he offered anymore than what I needed and was honest with me and my expectations. He strives for perfection and as a patient that's what I expect. I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends. read more

I had an amazing experience with this Dr. and his staff. I was lucky enough to meet with Mrs. Virden, she did some injections around my eyes and her work is flawless. The medical staff is amazing and the office staff is caring and wonderful. Thank you to all the staff at Dr. Virden's office. read more

I recently had a breast augmentation, Dr. Virden did an amazing job. I was nervous about sizing and being too big afterwards. He listened to my concerns and gave me educated options so I could get the best results possible. I don't feel that anyone could have done as well as he did! He & his staff are all very nice and make you feel comfortable throughout the process. read more

Dr. Virden is the best! He made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process of pre-op, surgery and post-op. His office staff is amazing as well. He made himself very available to me in case I had questions or concerns. I highly recommend him to everyone. read more

I had a great experience with Dr Virden and his staff. I had recently lost 100 lbs and had heard good things about Dr Virden. So I came from Sacramento to Reno to have my consultation. From the time I walked into the door I was treated great by the staff, they are very friendly and prompt. I loved Dr Virden from the moment I met him. He answered all my questions before I even could ask. I had 3 procedures done about 1 month later, an abdominoplasty extended, a breast lift, and fat transfer to the buttocks. I'm about 6 weeks post surgery and could not be any happier with the results. I will definitely be going back to him for any future surgeries and would recommend him to my family and friends. read more

As I was just creaping up over 50, I felt my face needed a small lift as well as my eyes. I met with Dr. Virden who explained everything with me in detail and I felt very confident with him and his professional manner. I had the surgery and it's been 3 months and I couldn't be happier. When I look in the mirror, my face looks 10 years younger and yet my friends really can't tell I had surgery because it's so natural looking. I would highly recommend Dr. Virden and his office is very professional from beginning to the end result. read more

Dr. Virden is a genius In the surgery room. I had a face lift, neck lift & my face and neck looked great. Also he reconstructed my breasts after a surgery with another doctor. I am completely thrilled with Dr. Virdens skill! read more

Having seen Dr virden, for myself and my wife, and being a physician myself, I can say I am extremely pleased with his care and his approach to skin disorders. His demeanor and medically logical, well thought out and practical approach, is exactly what we were looking for. We both would give him our highest recommendations. read more

Really feel bad about writing anything bad about anyone but I had a bad experience with Doctor Charles Virden and I don't want anyone else to experience this. In 1996 I had laser surgery done on my face because I felt I had a lot of wrinkles. I thought the surgery would take away the wrinkles and make me feel more youthful. The surgery was in January and the wrinkles were gone. Sadly though I was left with 6 really big scars on my face. Three on each cheek. The biggest is an inch by 1/16. It may not sound big but when you consider how small the face actually is. An inch at any width is very noticeable. Anyhow,I have to wear makeup every day to cover the scars. When I called Dr Charles Virden to discuss my concerns he told me to wait a year. So I did. It has been 5 years and the scars are still very noticeable. Dr Virden also preformed a cheek pad lift and that was very successful but wouldn't advise anyone to take the risk. read more

Dr. Virden did an excellent job on my Breast Aug Exchange. Originally I got my first ones in the Bay Area 11 years ago. I wanted to go bigger to fill the post baby sag. Dr. Virden stayed true to his word on going as big as possible keeping a natural look and avoiding any health problems in the future. Because of my small frame he came up with a great game plan of the teardrop (not commonly used by surgeons) and 'serrating' the inside bottom of my Breasts so that the big size would expand making them lay naturally and not high. None of the other surgeons mentioned this. Dr. V was more expensive than the other quotes I got, but he provided personalized custom work. The other surgeons never came up with a game plan to achieve the look I wanted. I was able to text any issues, questions, or problems directly to Dr. V post surgery. This comes in handy when your a perfectionist and OCD like me. I'm so glad I went with Dr. V as I feel that you get what you pay for, and he is truly the best. If your searching for a surgeon and don't get a consult from Dr. V your missing out on the best. read more
