I chose Dr. Reid after a lot of research on doctors that had experience with the type of skin that has been "almost ruined" (my own words) from being stretched so much from weight and also doctors that managed pain well, because I'm a big baby! Dr. Reid also is incredibly warm and friendly, in addition to being BRILLIANT! When you're looking into plastic surgery of any kind you initially go "good Lord that's expensive", BUT... I will say this, you're going to see those nurses and that surgeon SO MANY times post-op and not be charged any more. They will answer emails and phone calls to calm you down and fit you in same day if you're experiencing any kind of concerns and just want them to take a look. I've never healed as well from anything... not even a paper cut, as well as I have from this surgery. I know Dr. Reid uses a special fancy pants cutting tool that aids in healing better, and wow...I can tell. I also highly recommend you ask for the information of the private nurse that you can hire to take care of you after surgery. If I hadn't done that for the first 24 hrs my family would have been sooo overwhelmed. They can get you her info, I don't want to give it out, as she's a separate business, but this just shows how much they care about the success of their patients...by offering extra support that can help you. Their office also is a big fan of lymphatic massage, which I'm all in for. They have a person on staff that does it and I think she helped my healing a ton as well! I still have a long way to go, as this type of surgery has long term swelling, but I've come so far. I can't say enough wonderful words about this team. They are amazing, kind, and exactly what I was looking for. When you're visiting doctors to find the right fit, give Dr. Reid a shout, you won't regret it, he and his team are wonderful! I'm so happy!! This surgery has been life changing!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Reid and his entire staff at Restora.

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 want to share my experience so other patients, especially transgender patients and domestic…read moreviolence survivors, can make informed decisions. After my nose was broken in an abusive incident, I contacted Dr. Weinfeld's office for a revision consultation. The first nurse was kind and said they could get me in quickly. When my financial situation improved a couple weeks later, I reached out again and explained the urgency. Another nurse then reviewed my message and told me they no longer wanted to take me on as a patient. This was very distressing, especially as someone reaching out for help after trauma. When I called to clarify, I received scripted, dismissive responses and no willingness to reconsider. I'm posting this so others know how the staff handled my situation. If you need supportive or compassionate care during a vulnerable time, please take my experience into account.

LADIES - IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BREAST REDUCTION SURGEON - YOU'VE FOUND HIM. Seriously I could…read morenever say enough good things about Dr. Mosier and his office staff and this review is long overdue. I have wanted a breast reduction for the last 20 years. I have had many consultations, but there was always an issue with Insurance or timing. I believe now that was truly divine intervention so that I could meet Dr. Mosier and have him perform my surgery. I went from a G to a B and they look AMAZING. Truly they almost look fake and I still can't believe these are what I get to have now. I have spent my entire life hating my large chest and am finally free. My back pain is gone, clothes fit me, I don't have to wear seven bras to workout, truly it's incredible. I wish I would've done this sooner, but then it probably wouldn't have been with Dr. Mosier. From the very first appointment where I almost cried, he was so kind and so was his entire office staff. They are truly the best. So kind, so understanding and answered ALL of my 1000 questions. Then finally came surgery day which I was so nervous for. PIECE OF CAKE. I've had two children and this was one billion times easier than giving birth and recovery. I guess I should have expected that, but I've never had surgery so didn't know. I cannot believe how easy recovery was and how quick. Dr. Mosier repeatedly assured me before I left that if I had any issues, they would be there for me and would be easy to get ahold of and so responsive, and they were. He even talked directly to my husband after hours one night when I was concerned about an off looking suture (it was fine, I'm just anxious.) Truly, Dr. Mosier was so kind, supportive, and so TALENTED. I don't know that I had the highest expectations, not because of Dr. Mosier, but just because I felt like what I was working with before was so bad. And WOW. When I tell you they look FAKE they're so good. Every post-op everyone again was so kind and Erika is the sweetest person in the world and would talk me through every little detail and every question I had. I would do this whole process again in a heartbeat. To have such an AMAZING visual outcome was life changing, but to have it with such a wonderful doctor and equally wonderful office staff was also just such a pleasant experience. THANK YOU DR. M! Could never say thank you enough! You've changed my life!

I decided to go with this office because she did such a great job on my friends facelift, however, I think she should just stick with this procedure. Dr. Smith, completely messed up my nose. I had a bulbous nose to begin with and she took skin from my ear placed it over on the bulbous tip, which was already big to begin with. This placement has left a demarcation where the old and new is, leaving the columella uncovered with no repairs done to the area. I knew when that cast came off that the surgery was done completely wrong. Additionally, with the extra skin placed on the bulbous tip, the tip is pulling down and the base is causing the nostrils to look enlarged and flair out. I have gone to three experienced plastic surgeons and Mayo Clinic and all are echoing the same feeling that this Doctor showed a lack of knowledge, disregard, and disconnectedness to me (the patient). So, I have found a physician, who will have to shave the tip and use cadaver tissue to build the nose back up where the foundation is falling apart. I am in constant pain and regret every single day going to this horrible office. I have not reached out, because nothing will be done. People do your DUE DILIGENCE!!!! Just because she did an internship at a Beverly Hills office does not mean she is qualified to do this surgery. I have reached out to the office she interned at, the Doctor was appalled on how my nose looked. Anyway, please everyone do your homework!

I was VERY apprehensive about the procedure itself... although everyone told me I would be extremely satisfied after... and I was!!! I have had MANY orthopedic surgeries - at hospitals and surgery centers -- so I have many experiences to compare Dr. Fisher's surgery experience to. From the first moment I walked in on surgery day -- the experience was different. It was JUST ME in the surgery center! I got 100% individual attention. The waiting area reminded me more of a waiting area for a massage. Very calm and relaxed... the team was friendly, comfortable and casual. It all put me very at ease. The surgery experience and pain management experience was flawless. I actually took one advil after surgery... and I don't think I even needed it. The staff is hyper professional and pleasant. The kind of people you want to be friends with. Every appt has been easy and pleasant from the moment i walked in the door until the moment I walked out. Dr Fisher is a PRO! I know that she is extremely well-regarded in her field and has exceptional credentials and experience. Aside from that she's a great person -- super easy to talk to- very real and relatable. As you can tell -- I can't say enough positive things about Dr Fisher's practice. I continue to recommend her practice to friends. I also started using the MedSpa as soon as it opened!

Update: After expressing concerns about my surgical outcome…read moreand scar appearance, I was terminated from the practice. The practice later stated that the termination was due in part to missed follow-up appointments. However, the appointment records provided to me show that I attended my consultation, pre-op, surgery, post-op, and August follow-up appointments, and the records simply list later appointments as "cancelled" without indicating who canceled them. I had breast augmentation, liposuction, and fat transfer with Dr. Christine Fisher, and I am now 13 months post-op. I waited over a year before writing this review because I understood that plastic surgery results take time to settle, and the one-year mark is generally when final results can be more fairly evaluated. Unfortunately, even after giving my body that time, my experience and results remain very disappointing. I want to be clear that I was happy with my body before surgery. I did not seek out surgery because I disliked myself or expected perfection. I chose Dr. Fisher because her practice was woman-owned and because she appeared to specialize in natural-looking, reconstructive-style results. I still like my body, but after spending around $20,000, I do not feel the changes to my body reflect the cost, expectations, or level of care I believed I was choosing. I also do not feel that I went in requesting an extreme or drastic transformation. I was already fit and in shape, and I was seeking subtle refinements - not a full-body makeover. That is part of why the visible scarring, asymmetry, and overall outcome have been so disappointing. For the amount I paid, I expected thoughtful, precise changes that aligned with what we discussed. Before surgery, I made it very clear that scarring was one of my biggest concerns. I was specifically told that the liposuction entry sites would be "freckle-sized," microscopic, and/or hidden. That was not my outcome. The liposuction scars are very visible and clearly surgical. They are identical and placed in the exact same spots on both sides of my body -including my upper butt, lower butt, and pubic area. Because they are symmetrical and positioned identically, they do not look like natural blemishes or tiny marks. They clearly appear to be surgical scars, which was exactly what I expressed concern about before surgery. I was also left with three large vertical scars on my upper inner thigh that are approximately several inches long. I did not originally request inner-thigh liposuction, but during consultation I was told many women like taking a small amount of fat from that area, so I agreed. I never expected to end up with large visible scars in that location. In regard to my breast augmentation, I communicated that I wanted to be a full C cup with more fullness on top because I have a muscular build. I discussed wanting closer to 350-400cc implants, but ended up with smaller implants than expected. When I later expressed disappointment about the size, I was told I could "always go bigger later." That comment was frustrating because going bigger is not as simple as sizing up a pair of shoes. It would mean paying for an entirely new surgery, going under anesthesia again, and going through another recovery process. That is not a small or casual fix, especially when sizing was something I tried to be very clear about before surgery. My breasts are also uneven, with one hanging noticeably lower than the other. On my left side, I can feel the implant in a way that makes the skin feel thin and stretched, almost as if the pocket was placed too low or the tissue was stretched too much. The asymmetry and overall result were not what I expected. At my follow-up appointment, when I tried to explain how upsetting the experience and results had been for me, Dr. Fisher became emotional and cried during the appointment. While I understand surgeons are human, the appointment did not feel solution-focused and it became uncomfortable trying to discuss my concerns. During that same appointment, Nurse Hawna repeatedly attempted to lift her shirt to show me her own breast implant scars after I had already declined seeing them multiple times. I told her several times that I did not need to see them, but she continued insisting. I found the interaction uncomfortable and confusing, especially because her scars were much smaller than mine and she stated they were still visible after 10 years. I did not understand how that addressed my concerns. When I later requested my medical records, I was surprised by how limited and one-sided the notes felt. The records mostly documented my complaints and emotional reactions, but did not fully reflect the conversations about expectations, scarring concerns, sizing discussions, or what was communicated to me before surgery and during follow-up appointments.

I encourage everyone to read my previous reviews for all the details. I gave up my $15k refund in exchange for the right to post this honest review. On the other hand, before my own surgery, I saw all the 5-star reviews and zero 1-star reviews and thought that meant no 1-star reviews existed. I sincerely question that after my own offer of a full refund but only in exchange for my silence. Someone asked recently about the contact he asked me to sign in exchange for a full refund ($15,050) so I attached a photo of it. It reads (in part): "THAT I fully understand that from this day forward I will not speak about this case or Dr. Andrew P. Trussler, M.D. publicly (i.e. media- news, print, or electronic) or privately. Also, there will not further public (e.g. signage or voice amplification) or private demostrations (sic) nor discussing this case with any other persons. If I continue any of the above mentioned I am hereby notified I will incur treble civil penalties." It is very difficult to sue for medical malpractice in the state of Texas, and even then, the damages are capped at an amount that might not even be worth the trouble after the emotional drain and attorney's fees. There is very little accountability required. Be very, very careful about who you choose to literally trust with your life.
