I chose Dr. Flugstad to perform plastic surgery on my eyelids, face and neck because of advanced training, certifications, and positive reviews and photos of his patients. I am so happy. The results exceeded my request for a natural younger appearance of my 30s. My appearance matches how I looked 50 years ago when I was 20! I often get compliments; friends and co-workers accept my stories of working out at the Y and primal fat burning diet. Dr. Flugstad is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with priority on patient safety, an artist, and a kind man who delivers the highest customer service. I especially appreciated the entire medical team's focus on safety when they quickly responded to my apparent serious negative reaction to anesthesia. At several follow up visits, Dr. Flugstad and his entire staff reassured me as they addressed my concerns with kindness, patience and attention to detail. I feel grateful and so happy I chose Dr. Flugstad. My experience and the results exceeded my expectations. It was well worth the hour-long drives to his state-of-the-art surgery center with top notch staff.

After lots of researching I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Flugstad. I had my consultation…read morewith Dr. Flugstad last year in April. The day of my consultation I was a bit nervous and excited. I was prepared with my question list. The consultation went better than I expected. As soon as I met Dr. Flugstad and his assistant Michelle, I felt at ease. I felt very comfortable and excited. Months after I booked my surgery appointment. During the time before the surgery I always had lots more questions and concerns and all the time Dr. Flugstad and his assistant answered all my questions. I felt bad for emailing them all the time but was very happy with their patience and that they were answering all my questions in a timely manner. All of Dr. Flugstad's staff that I've come across with have been very friendly and polite. The day of my surgery my husband was my ride/nurse. Dr. Flugstad's staff was ready for me and provided my husband with lots of information and made him feel comfortable while he waited for me. Before I went to sleep his staff and I had a great conversation with lots of laughs. While recovering at home Dr. Flugstad checked in with us often, we were reassured that if we had any questions or concerns not to hesitate to call. Everything went well with my surgery and I've been very happy with my results. I recently had an appointment to see how I was doing and we were both pleased with my recovery. I really enjoy being in their office. They are very friendly and I love talking to his assistant Michelle. She knew about my moms passing, she gave me a big hug and condolences. Honestly if I were to get another surgery. I would most definitely go to Dr. Flugstad. I definitely recommend him. I am very happy I chose him, there was something that automatically clicked when I met him. It was an automatic comfort. They have lots of different procedures available, not just surgical ones.

I had such an amazing experience from a through Z at this office and I recommend Dr.MVP to anyone…read moreand everyone that is interested in cosmetic surgery. If I could describe Dr. MVP, I would say that he is family oriented, extremely intelligent, heartwarming, and an amazing surgeon! I had Lipo 360 done as well as arm lipo. My experience was truly a DELIGHT! & dare I say...PAIN FREE!! When I first inquired about his office, I heard a lot of great feedback about him online, so I decided to get a consultation which was free. His wife, who is also a cosmetic surgeon, will probably be one of the first people you encounter upon inquiry. Not only is she extremely nice, she is very easy to talk to being that she is a woman, you can ask her anything and everything and she will be able to give you an honest answer. She does not beat around any bush and she clarifies a lot of the process, etc. Everything that was said in my consultation, throughout surgery, and after surgery has been consistent. His wife, Andrea even gave me her number in which I did find myself still texting about different things that came across my mind, and she always replies back. Till this day which is almost 6 months from my surgery, I can still text her and she will reply. My consultation was a great experience and very eye-opening. I felt like nothing was raising red flags for me, everything felt upfront and personal. I had a great lipo deal because of a social media sale that they were having, which they often have so keep a lookout!! The day of my surgery came and to say the least I was very impressed with the office, and the surgical team, and of course Dr. MVP. I have had surgery before, cosmetic surgery, and no one that I have came across is as personalized as Dr. MVP and his team. After my surgery, I woke up in a panic ( my own reaction ), so I had to have more anesthesia to calm myself, as I woke up I was calmer and dr.mvp was by my side the whole time. (2-9pm)!!!! His wife was also still by my side. Calming me down. My recovery-not only did I not feel pain. But I was up and moving around day 2. They give you a very detailed recovery packet and info to make sure you recover safely and get the best results!! TheY text you and call you everyday for like 6 weeks!!! THE BEST PART IS THE SCARRING...I HAVE LITTLE TO NO VISIBLE SCAR!!!! It's truly a work of art!!! Dr.MVP knows his work. MONEY WELL SPENT!! Dr.MVP has really built an incredible reputation. I hear repeatedly that his office is the nicest, most professional, and most personalized cosmetic office in Dfw. Since my surgery I have known numerous people to have gone to him & I refer many to him! You won't regret it!!!

I underwent a full mommy makeover in November with this office and I truly wish I had looked deeper…read moreinto post-operative complication management before choosing this surgeon. While the office is now attempting to frame my outcome as a normal healing process and unavoidable complication, my actual experience over the last several months tells a very different story. Following surgery, I experienced significant wound healing complications that required a wound vac, debridement surgery costing me over $1,000 out of pocket, antibiotics, Santyl, mupirocin, ongoing wound dressings/supplies, drainage issues, and prolonged healing complications beginning as early as December. At the same time, I repeatedly communicated concerns regarding increasing hardness, high-riding implants, asymmetry, discomfort, abnormal appearance, and progressive tightness. I sent numerous photos and messages over the course of months expressing that things did not feel or look right. Most of these concerns were repeatedly attributed to "drop and fluff," swelling, settling, massage, or needing more time to heal. Now that revision surgery is being recommended by other surgeons, it is extremely frustrating to look back at months of documented concerns that were continually minimized as normal healing. It is also frustrating to now receive lengthy explanations defending the management of my care rather than acknowledgment that perhaps more aggressive evaluation or intervention should have occurred earlier. The office has stated they offered in-person evaluations, but much of my follow-up care was intentionally managed virtually through photos and messaging, which I relied on heavily because I trusted their guidance. At no point was I made to feel the severity of my concerns warranted urgent intervention until things had progressed significantly. What has been most disappointing is not just the complications themselves, because complications can happen with any surgery, but the feeling of repeatedly advocating for myself while being reassured everything was normal despite worsening symptoms and mounting additional expenses. Between the wound vac, debridement, medications, wound care, time off work, emotional stress, and now revision surgery costs, this experience has been physically, emotionally, and financially exhausting. Patients considering a major cosmetic procedure here should strongly consider not only before-and-after photos, but also how postoperative complications and patient concerns are handled when things do not go as planned.

I am trying to find a plastic surgeon for breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery. I shared my intent and desire to see the doctor. I could tell from the beginning that this was a person who loves saying no. She was rude, condescending and had prejudged that I shouldn't see the doctor. She first tried to tell me to see the surgeon suggested by my oncologist surgeon. I told her I didn't care for his manner or plan for reconstruction and wanted to see Dr. Heistein. At one point well into the convo, she says, "I just don't know what it is you want." I want reconstruction on my breast on which I had surgery for breast cancer. She proceeded, without having even seen me, said that some breasts are just not candidates for reconstruction. Some breasts are mangled and have a big ball of scar tissue and just aren't fixable. She ( a receptionist, not a doctor) said that to me with absolutely no knowledge of my situation. She eventually told me that they take Medicare but not Medicare advantage and so can't help me. I said well, you take Medicare and she told me I would be paying a huge amount out of pocket. Still, she'd never seen me, hadn't precertified me or anything else. It was a horrible experience and I suppose I should be glad not to deal with this person ever again. Dr. Heistein should know how horrible this person is. If he knows and he's ignoring the issue, shame on him. If he doesn't know, someone should tell him how awful she is.

For some years now, I've been looking to reduce the "signs of aging" and dial back a few years on…read moremy neck and lower face. My neck was sagging, slight jowling, and wrinkle bands etching on the skin around the front of my neck. Too much sun!! I kept the neckbands at bay for a few years with botox injections. My face is in good shape, round cheeks, not a lot of deflation. I wasn't in a hurry, so over the past 4 years, I spoke to 3 different surgeons. A few talked about a face lift... but my face wasn't showing the age like my neck and the jowl area. One day, I looked on the RealSelf website and came across a photo of a patient of Dr. Kasden who had done exactly what I was looking for, a clean defined neck and better definition around the jawline. I made an appointment with Dr. Kasden and took the photo of his patient I found on the website with me. 1. Consultation. I showed Dr. Kasden the photo of his patient and explaining that is what I want done as well... a necklift and a little cleaning up around the jawline. He went into detail about the steps in the procedure to get that outcome, drawing a diagram of the side of a head and showed where the incisions would be made, the nipping, tucking and stitching. He was direct in telling me the area around the incisions would be numb for a while the nerves reconnected.  Pricing on the procedure was very reasonable.  2. Procedure. I chose to have the procedure in the office, meaning no general anesthesia and being fully awake. Understand that Dr. Kasden must have gotten straight A's in chemistry because the man is a genius when it comes to "mixing the right cocktail of medications" to bring you to a twilight state and keep you pain free during the procedure. I have no memory of the procedure even though I was awake. What I did have were sensations - pulling and pressure - but no pain. 3. Post-procedure. Now you would think that after a procedure where a quarter of the side of your face (including the back half of your ear) has been severed/unattached from your head you would have pain during the recovery. The pain that I did experience was mild and lasted 36 hours. On the top part on the back of my ear where the stitches were, about a day before the stitches were to be removed, it hurt where my glasses sat on my ear. As soon as the stitches were removed, the pain went away.  4. Staff and Nurse who assists with procedures.  Top notch, responsive, personable, sharp. Totally in tune with patients and Dr. Kasden. The team works together seamlessly. I am 7 months post procedure. WOW, my jawline is beautiful, no little jowls now!! I do look 15 years younger!

I was in surgery for almost 8 hours! I have a huge burn looking scar on my cheek. One side of my neck hangs down and behind both ears really bad burn looking scars! And there is a small nick on my face that wasn't there before surgery. He shrugged it off like sometimes complications happen. And, even charged me for a couple of laser treatments afterwards! I have had multiple lazar and other procedures done to improve the terrible scars ON MY FACE without much success. Plus is bedside innuendo's always made me uncomfortable. Since the surgery, I have spoken to other medical people and he has a bad rep. He said this had never happened b4 but I have heard different. Wish I would have researched him better! It's changed my life!

Greetings, I went to Dr. Bishara and his team at Paragon…read morePlastic Surgery in Southlake in March 2018 for hair restoration surgery. This is an initial review that I will update in circa 6 months (as the results of the transplant become more apparent). Overall, The Doctor and his team deserve 5 stars. I visited 4 hair transplant experts across DFW, and chose Paragon Plastic Surgery as they were essentially the total package. Dr. Bishara sat down for almost an hour during our initial consult to hear about my wishes for hair restoration, to include whether what I wanted was even possible. He also explained 4 key steps, when taken together over time, that will ensure the long term viability of any transplanted hair. While not every expert that I talked to said the exact same things in terms of post-op medicine/processes, Dr. Bishara did not rule out those other perspectives in a rude way -- rather he explained that his understanding of the science gave him different conclusions. He was also not pushing product....if you did not want to move forward on a particular technology or item, he said ok and let you know it's potential impact in a professional way. I ended up doing 3,000 grafts, which took about 10 hours from start to finish. The team in the room, in addition to the doctor, were all friendly, funny, and made me feel as comfortable as possible. If I started feeling any pain, they were quick to give me more medicine as needed. In other words, I could not have imagined a smoother procedure from everyone in the office. I'm looking forward to seeing the results in the coming months and will provide an updated review later. Thanks again Dr. Bishara!

Last Thursday on 10/14 I had a consultation appointment. I had to pay in total since they had a…read moresurgery date on 10/26. I was having plastic surgery on my eyes and facetite on my face. I m 73 years old and from Oregon. After I had signed the papers and they had my money. They in formed me I would need these tests eye exam, heart xray, and ekg. By our conversation at that point in time they made me think I would b responsible for the eye exam which I had had one in May in Oregon. They said oh yes as long as it was in the past 6 months.  So I called my eye Dr. Friday and asked them to fax my info to them. On Monday I called and asked them if they had received it. At that time they said yes. And proceeded to tell it would not work. It had to b in the last 30 days. And then told me that I would also need the ekg and heart xray at my expense. I reached out to my Dr in Oregon at that point. She called me back on Tuesday. When I told my Dr. The situation. She went online and looked at Dr basharas credentials. She tore him apart. She told me that he has no board certifications or is a member of any of the medical societies that Drs belong to that basically solidify their credentials.. Basically she said he has no credential for anything but hair replacement. She also said all of the pictures on the site were canned. She said Sherry do not let him touch your face. I then called them and said I wanted to cancel the surgery. This was actually 2 working days after I had been there if they are even open on Friday. Finally late yesterday I received an email from Melanie who actually did the scam to me.  For the refund of 12363.00$ which is the amount I paid less 10% I will not be able to relate anything that happened regarding how I was treated. Signed by Mark basharas md. The caveat is the wording. "Once we receive this back, we can issue your refund and it typically will take about 10 days to get back to you." I have disputed the credit card charged and hopefully with the email she sent I can reclaim that money.  Leaving them with the $2500. Cash I paid them and no receipt. So there it is folks. I'm a trusting Oregonian not an scam educated Texan. There should really be a law against people like him.

To make sure that something serious wasn't happening, and thank goodness she had brought this to my attention, because I am suffering from a severe rare autoimmune disorder which will destroy your kidneys , if not addressed with very Expensive and serious medication. It's taken me a better part of a year getting the biopsy and diagnosing this condition. So honestly I can't even begin to thank or repay Dr Wuu for her concern about my bloodwork results and her being insistent that I should have a nephrologist look at my blood work.. the medication is so expensive to treat this condition!! It's shocking 30,000 a month To 50,000 dollars a month!! Yes, and the treatment plan is a minimum of 9 months, on your first attempt to stop your immune system from a civil war that you had no idea existed. This is a true story, I'm the one living it .

Returned one month later for that and told her the spot on my face was still hurting. She removed it and pathology determined it to be Squamous cell carcinoma... skin cancer. Had to have Mohs surgery. I requested to switch to Dr. Tho Quoc Nguyen (may be the owner of the practice). I explained why I switched and he said, "maybe it was too early to tell." It was only one month between Dr. Wuu telling me it was an oil gland to telling me it was Squamous cell cancer. But I stuck with Dr. Nguyen. Latest visit I asked Dr. Nguyen to look at a spot in the same area on my face and he said it was an oil gland (just like Dr. Wuu said about the other spot being an oil gland but was cancer). I asked him to remove it and told him and his nurse that I wanted anything removed from my body to be sent to pathology. They agreed. They removed the spot on my face and one on my leg. I then inquired about a cream (flourouracil) to remove precancerous cells. Dr. Nguyen said it would be a good idea. The only instructions from Dr. Nguyen were to apply it all over the face twice a day for one week. Nothing about not applying to eyelids or near mouth nor how to relieve the horrible discomfort. No instructions from the compounding pharmacy either. Received a call regarding my pathology results for the spot on the leg. I asked about the spot on my face. The nurse said they only had one biopsy and said "she didn't know what to tell me, should she ask the doctor?" Um, yes! That would be a novel idea! She put me on hold to talk to Dr. Nguyen and then told me Dr. Nguyen did not send the sample from my face to pathology. Dr Nguyen said the cream would take care of it. The cream is only for superficial precancerous cells. Doctors should send all biopsies to pathology and even MORE crucial to do that for someone with a history of skin cancer and when requested by the patient. I left a voicemail for the office manager to transfer my and my husband's records to a dermatologist in Bedford and she could call me if she wanted to know why. She never called. Dr. Nguyen never called. No one called to check on how I was doing with the cream. Office staff called to tell me I had to sign a release for my records. Of course, I did that. NOTE: my research on the internet found this..... "A doctor discarding a patient-requested biopsy without pathology review is highly concerning and potentially constitutes medical negligence. Medical standards typically require all tissue removed from the body to be examined by pathology unless a formal institutional exemption exists. Discarding a requested sample directly violates patient autonomy, safety protocols, and legal medical waste."
