It has been a complete NIGHTMARE!! I just turned 42 years old, and it seemed like I had been defeated by this medical anomaly and reminded of it daily--Gynecomastia. As I sat back in my office three days after my birthday, I decided that was it; it was time to put an end to the frustration, the self-consciousness and barrier to a better quality of life. I had done the hard work, 4am workouts, plant-based diet, no booze or smoke; all it did was make the problem more pronounced. On that Monday I continued previous research for the surgeon that would best fit me. I found two: one of them Dr. Vitenas; the other, well that doesn't matter now. In inquired online. That morning, I got a call from the heavens, it seems; it was Javier. After telling him my story, he empathized and asked for some photos so that he could consult with Dr. Vitenas. I did and he did, because he asked me to come in that afternoon for a consultation with Dr. Vitenas. I had vacation planned and that fell through so the timing was perfect; as if the seas had opened up-- but it gets better. I arrive at the state-of-the-art facility which houses Dr. Vitenas operating room (OR) (let me tell you that OR is top notch!). The details matter, especially with any medical procedure where sharp objects are involved. The details are evident as I was greeted (first my Melanie on the 1st fl. Beauty Boutique) by Gary, who knew who I was and what I was there for. I finally met Javier in person and he seemed just as excited for me as I was to potentially get this procedure done. He informed me that some magic might have been a brewing because a cancellation had just come in. I met with Dr. Vitenas and without words, he seemed to already know the struggle I was living with and how he could help make this a turning point in my life. I was all-in. I discussed details with Javier and he revealed the opportunity of a lifetime; I could have the surgery the next day if I decided to proceed. And you bet I did. Next came the nurse consult with pre and post-op instructions. I met with Courtney who was also excited for me. She appeared youthful, but you could tell she could do this in her sleep, so the trust carried through to the staff I met that day. This is crucial because I must believe that I will be able to get back to work in a timely manner-- no work no pay in my profession. Fast forward-- I followed the instructions, got the surgery and I was back at work 2 days later and full tilt at the gym 3 weeks after. I left the tape on for that long and wore compression all day and night, I rested, ate well and I could not be more satisfied with the results. Dr. V is a pro. He cares about his product, and he most certainly delivers. If you're looking for surgeon who treats your results as a reflection of his work and passion, Dr Vitenas is your guy. read more

Dr Vitenas is garbage- a bad surgeon and a worse person. He not only screwed up my surgery (twice) but had the audacity to gaslight me and pretend the issues I saw with my results were just in my head - despite his office staff acknowledging and agreeing the problems existed prior to him literally to him telling him they don't know what they're talking about. Literally go anywhere else before you ever go to him. read more

Dr Vitenas is a HIGHLY skilled surgeon. I got my ta tas done by him and am at the 8.5 week mark and they are turning out amazing. I am REALLY happy with the work he's done. I wonder what life is like for him. It takes very hard work to create such a fine facility with such great staff. I went from an A to D and my initial appointment with him to get started went very quickly because he has been doing this work for so long that he just knows what will look appropriate for what a client wants. When trying on a bra with the implants listen to what he says and what his staff thinks who are present for the fitting. I had shown my mom the photos and she thought they would be too big. Now that I am nearing the actual size they are proportionately perfect for my body type and shape. They are natural looking. I have been told by friends that if they didn't know me they would never know. The staff are lovely. Regular check ins and a 24 hour nurse for anything I needed as I healed. I bought the main staff that worked with me and the doctor himself some funny gifts because they did a great job with me and my care. The clinic itself is very nice. You can see how hard Dr Vitenas works by the care put into his facility. He has been in the business over 30 years and I would say if you want a guarantee you are in good hands and the work you want done is highly skilled go see Dr Vitenas. I am more than happy with my experience and the way I look now. I feel like I should have done this a long time ago. My all around experience for this has been 100% positive. This guy is honest with expectations and is highly skilled and I am impressed. To build such a nice place with quality work and staff is very impressive to me. And, I love my boobs!!!! To Dr Vitenas and staff, if you read this, thank you for the care and results. Hi from me! May your business continue to prosper. I am very happy with the outcome! Best advice i can give is listen to this doctor and his staff about what to go with. I am really happy with the size and shape. Very good work. If I decide I need anything else done I will be coming back to this establishment. Personable, nice place, very skilled. I would give 10 stars and my name is Star read more

OMG.... WHATEVER you do, do not, under ANY circumstances go here for even a lip plump !!!!!!!!!!! Not only did he destroy and mutilate my body but he was so arrogant he denied it. Never replied, never admitted wrong doing and wouldn't fix it. The worst thing anyone can do is give him your hard earned money. read more

It's been years since I visited this clinic. I went in for lip fillers and had undesirable results for years. I never left a review because I gave them the benefit of the doubt, even though I paid over $1,000. Now I have received a letter stating that my information has been leaked and warning me to be aware of potential fraud. Making an appointment at this clinic continues to haunt me. read more

Had surgery at the clinic. Everything went well, but a few months later I got a call from unknown people saying that the clinic had been hacked. As a proof, they sent my naked photos from the clinic to my e-mail. I'm just shocked. The clinic often leaks personal information about patients. I do not recommend anyone to go to Dr. Vitenas. read more

If I could give another star I would. Dr. Vitenas truly is gifted. The balance of professionalism and warmth is the perfect mix in all the employees. read more

This is for my consultation experience only , I never got to see the surgeon and you'll see why in the review below. I'm 37 BMI 28.5 no children and was looking to get Lipo. A friend recommended this doctor so I wanted to check him out. The consultation process was a little difficult as the coordinator was never available when I called and we played phone tag for almost a week. I sent the photos requested of my body and inspiration photos, which were taken from another plastic surgeon here in town that's very famous, and the girl had my height and BMI and overall frame. She got back with me saying " your expectations are unrealistic" and " your rib cage is too wide". OK, please let me know what he feels like would be realistic and thanks for the complex about being wide. I am a small framed person, so this was very odd. Told me the cellulite I wanted to address with genetic, and nothing could be done essentially. Despite asking to be contacted back about what he felt Like would be realistic via photos, they just ghosted me. This is very unprofessional. I had two more consults with two different plastic surgeons in the city, who told me completely opposite of this "consultation" I had via the coordinator. Both of them told me I could get a great result and exactly what I wanted with the frame I had. read more

Dr. Vitenas is an artist and a surgeon. He listens to the needs of his patients and performs the most natural-looking neck/facelift you could ever imagine. I highly recommend him. Deborah S. read more

I wrote this review a few years ago but for some reason it was removed. I am posting it again because I want to warn others about coming here. When I came in for my consultation, Dr. Vitenas told me he'd do moderate profile with 304cc silicone implants. I asked him about going bigger and he said anything bigger would be too big. He wasn't very informative and wasn't very personable, but I still decided to go with him because of the great reviews, 25+ years of experience, and the beautiful photos of previous breast augmentations on his website. He's very good at marketing himself. It didn't bother me much because I'm a nurse and I understand that there are doctors out there that suck at beside manners, but are phenomenal at what they do. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't the case. Immediately after my surgery, I felt that my breasts were a little too small. When I told him how I felt at my follow up appointment, he quickly disregarded my concerns, told me my breasts looked great, and sent me on my way. 6 months later, after all the swelling went down, my breasts were even smaller. I was very unhappy. I hated that I still had to wear super push-up bras to achieve the look that I wanted. I went back to see Dr. Vitenas about it and he told me I just felt that way because I got used to them. After that, I decided to go elsewhere for a revision. I went back for consultations with 2 surgeons whom I consulted with before choosing Dr. Vitenas. Both surgeons told me that my right breast had dropped. I went back to see Dr. Vitenas who just looked at me like I was stupid, and condescendingly told me it was just my anatomy. Flash forward: 2 years later, I went back to Dr. Vitenas just to see what he'd say. By now you can probably guess how that went. He told me, "I did the surgery the same way on both sides, it just happened that your body dropped on that side." We talked about a revision. When I asked questions he was rude and had his nose stuck in his ipad. My boyfriend even commented on the way he was speaking to me. Since then, I went for another breast revision consultation with one of the doctors I consulted with before my surgery with Vitenas and 6 months later. The doctor told me that my right breast was 1-1.5 inches lower than my left breast. He said there could be many reasons for it dropping, but that it was most likely due to surgery. He said that my pockets were cut too big on the sides causing both of my breasts to be saggy. He is charging me a little more than what Vitenas quoted, but I would rather pay more than go back and have my breasts botched by Dr. Vitenas again. I have met 4 other people who have had breast surgery with Dr. Vitenas. All are unhappy with their breasts and their experience with Dr. Vitenas. One of them is my co-worker. She went to him while his office was still in southeast. She told me that one of her breasts had dropped too. Another girl told me she felt her breasts were too small. Guess what size and profile she got? 304cc, moderate profile. EXACTLY LIKE ME! Another girl whom is a friend of a friend also got 304cc, moderate profile. I'm thinking either he has some kind of contract where he gets moderate profile implants for very cheap or it's just easier for him to use them. Whatever the reason, there is no art to what he does. You should save your money and body and go elsewhere. read more

I had breast augmentation done 2 weeks ago and couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience! My boobs look great! I have read some of the negative reviews about Dr Vietnas and his staff and I can't relate or understand how anyone could have anything bad to say about him or his staff. He's very professional, sweet and has a great since of humor! He also did my Botox and I will never let anyone but Dr Vitenas do my Botox again, he did an excellent job, it was painless, I had no bruising at all and I like the fact he does it himself and doesn't have a nurse or someone that just took a class on it, you can definitely see and feel the difference in quality!! read more

Absolutely AMAZING all around! Erica is the best! She is awesome so sweet, very grounded and easy to talk to! Dr. Vitenas is fantastic! Super caring, engaging, and knowledgeable! He went above and beyond my expectations and made me feel so comfortable. I definitely recommend him. The entire staff made me feel so valued. They're top notch FOR SURE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! (This is my first surgery ever) read more

This is not the place for facial surgery. Do not trust your face to Dr. Vitenas. I had terrible results. I'm on my third surgery trying to correct what Dr. Vitenas did to my face. read more

So I had a strange experience here. I got nonsurgical rhinoplasty a couple months ago. First off, I made it clear in the consultation that all I was concerned about fixing was this small bump at the top of the bridge of my nose. However, when it came time to do the procedure, without asking me to make sure beforehand, he injected filler into numerous spots in my nose that I didn't find necessary. Yes it swelled up for about a week and a half, but even once it went down there was this noticeable weird line on my nose near the tip that looked like a strange indention, especially under harsh lighting or pictures using a front camera. I went back for my check up two weeks later and expressed my concern and I made it clear I didn't think the job wasn't necessarily ugly, it just did not feel like "me" at all and all I really wanted fixed in the first place was the one bump. This is where I became horrified. He immediately tried to guilt me in saying that the places I wanted to dissolve in my nose looked the same as before. When I assured him nicely that I still wanted to dissolve a couple areas, he immediately started to slam some stuff down and had the nurses take me back to the room and put the numbing solution on my nose. He didn't let the numbing solution settle for as long as it needed to AT ALL and he grabbed the needle and commanded me to sit back and he injected the dissolving solution into the tip of my nose and it HURT. Then quickly had me leave and I was confused because he didn't inject both places I wanted dissolved. Being the soft-spoken person I am, I called the office from the parking garage and told the nurse that I didn't think he dissolved both places because he was proud of his work and I felt uncomfortable bringing it up to him personally because he seemed upset with me. They let me come back upstairs and when he came in the room and I explained to him my concern once again, let me tell you this man started RAISING HIS VOICE at me and slammed stuff around and this time injected the dissolving agent without numbing at all. The experience was horrifying. I'm only 21 years old and attend Texas A&M and this was my first time doing any sort of cosmetic procedure and I'm a little scarred. Never going back here again because Dr. Vitenas scared me that day and even the nurses looked uncomfortable. read more

Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went in for a consult and was confronted with a huge red flag right off the bat: the paperwork they asked me to sign concerned itself far more with all the ways they would be allowed to use any pictures taken of me than with a comprehensive survey of my medical history. The assistant then confirmed my suspicions by telling me the doctor HAD to take pictures of me DURING the consult in order to give me a quote, which is laughable. For those inquiring about cosmetic procedures for the first time, it is customary for the doctor to take before-and-after pictures of a procedure, but only after you have agreed to the procedure and have officially become a patient. I have had nearly a dozen such consults and have never had a doctor request to take photos for an initial consultation. Under no circumstances should you feel obligated to have your picture taken in order to receive a quote for services, since you are there in person and they can physically evaluate you and take notes. My general impression is that this doctor is more focused on marketing and PR than with patient health and outcomes. I ended up going with a doctor that insisted on talking to other doctors involved in my medical care to be on the safe side. I highly recommend you look past splashy magazine spreads, sleek white interior decorating and sleazy legal jargon and choose a doctor with a far more cautious and caring attitude. read more

Dr. Vitenas is a true artisan. I came to him a mess. 11 year old implants hardened behind tissue sagging off chest. My daughter nursed through 2 of those years. I wasn't sure I'd ever look "normal" again. I dreamed of having a natural looking chest. I no longer wanted large breast. After my consult I felt confident, heard, and assured. Above all I felt hope that Dr. Vitenas could make me look normal again. && THAT HE DID. The amount of skill, knowledge, precision, and experience one must have to create, correct, and pull off what I now have!!! -my dream natural looking breast. This is why HE IS TRULEY THE BEST. His craft is unbeatable. He stands alone in his own league for many reasons. He discovered during surgery one of my old implants had been ruptured. He took care of that and made sure I was clean of silicon. He diligently measured my pre op markings and then measured again. The attention and care he gives to every detail shows in his work and office. His on site surgery center is immaculate! His team of nurses, coordinators, and anesthesiologist were so attentive, caring, and informative. I felt so safe and calm in their hands. They took such good care of me. I ENJOYED my surgery day so much! It was like being in the hands of an amazing family. They called and checked in on me post op, outside business hours. I wouldn't trust my life or aesthetic in the hands of anyone but Dr. Vitenas and the team he has put together. I'm so grateful to them all and especially to you....Thank You Dr. Vitenas read more

I can't speak on the behalf of the doctor himself, but I can speak on the experience I had with his staff I had called this doctor because my cousin had a rhinoplasty done and it looked fantastic, natural. I broke my nose about 2-3 months ago, asked for information and gave them a call when answered they told me I had to wait until my nose was completely healed before I could go in for the consultation. When my nose healed I called back was told I was receive new patient paperwork through email, about a week passed no email. Again I called x3 times finally spoke to Adrien and after three maybe four attempts took pictures, sent my information the moment I received it being I wanted to get this taken care of as soon as possible. It took me a while maybe another two weeks to finally hear anything back from this place on my end I was the one reaching out and making calls to even get the process going.. I'm not sure if this is normal I've never had any work done before when I did I spoke to Adrien and scheduled a consultation finally after this long process of what felt like me doing most of the work and keeping things going, I asked Adrian to email me the financial paperwork so I could get that started as well and never received those, a day before I sent her a text asking for them... no response. I asked her if my mom could be in the room with us when we had spoke on the phone to schedule the consultation and she was fine with it. Not once was I ever told the rules and guidelines for Covid for every facility is different. I made the appointment, had my mom leave her job early to be there and I was coming from Rosenberg which is about a 45 min drive. I also had my one year old daughter with me. When I arrived there was no warm greeting a girl who obviously has no children because she seemed completely oblivious came up to the door after I stood there looking stupid till someone decided maybe they should open it, saying I could not bring my daughter into the meeting with my mom and I.... I was like ok? So I just leave her in the car? I would not have been so disappointed if someone would of made me aware of this so I could of made the proper accommodation for my daughter.. I told her then I'd have to reschedule. She went to get or speak to Adrien then came back out saying she would give me a call to reschedule our appointment. She couldn't even give me the respect of apologizing on her behalf and or even the time to schedule me while I was at the building. I won't be answering IF that's a big IF she decides to give me the time of day. Taking my services and money elsewhere. This was such a big waste of time, I feel like if I went somewhere else I would have already had a rhinoplasty. You'd think that when you're spending that type of money 15,000 to be exact that you'd be taken more seriously and or treated better. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone just based off their poor customer service skills read more

I had a cosmetic surgery with him 11/5/21 and could not be more happy. The entire staff was kind and helpful throughout my entire surgical journey.

Dr. Vitenas has great bedside manor and always was attentive in my visits. Thank you to the entire staff!!! read more

Definitely a great experience every time I have been! Great breast augmentation preformed by the lovely Dr. Vitenas. Best group of nurses/doctors before and after surgery.

Pretty upset with how things turned out here. Originally got a breast augmentation and ended up getting a capsular contracture. Dr vitenas did not take the time to explain to me that there is a 90% chance of getting it a second time. I did a second surgery due to being in pain and wanting to move forward and being told last minute about the strattice option. After my second surgery I got a capsular contracture again just weeks later. After this I decided I wanted my implants removed and they told me it was going to cost just as much as my initial surgery getting both implants done. They Have not offered anything to make my time there less miserable after everything I've been through. Very disappointed. Does not seem like they care at all about what I've been through. read more

From my initial visit at my consultation, I have been extremely satisfied. Dr. Vitenas himself, is very knowledgeable, professional, personable and straight forward with his honesty. His staff, has been very friendly and helpful. Upon arriving, the day of my breast augmentation procedure, my stomach was in knots. However, after meeting with his medical staff right before surgery, they made me feel 100% comfortable and at ease. I was very well taken care from beginning to end. I received a follow up call the day of my surgery and two days after, on a Sunday. His facility is absolutely beautiful and beyond clean. I highly recommend, Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery. Although, I am still in the recovery stage of my procedure, I am already happy with the results! Thank you to Dr. Vitenas and his staff!! read more

This was the worst Botox experience I've ever had. I've been getting Botox injections for years with satisfying results, and never such a situation. I do understand the anatomy and limits of Botox, but if you cannot simply smooth wrinkles on the forehead, what's the purpose of getting Botox then! I asked to treat my forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, and lips corners and to especially lift my eyebrows because I have low eyebrows. He said that can be done with 50 units and I got my injections on July 19th. I went for follow up expecting him to see that my forehead lines were there and my eyebrows were not lifted which was something I made clear that I wanted. He said the Botox was working fine and the forehead lines cannot be smoothed any further and eyebrows cannot be lifted because I already had low eyebrows ( duh!! That's why I came to you!) He finally agreed to give me 10 additional units in the corner of my eyes. By the time I signed the cost consent, I changed my mind and left without getting the injection because I couldn't trust him anymore. His work never showed any results other than giving me a horrible scary unbalanced look when I squint. I don't recommend this place. The quality of the product, as well as the level of service, is a joke. I feel scammed. read more

Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery - Horrible Botox. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Some time ago I decided I was tired of being obese so I turned my bad lifestyle habits around and started on my new weight loss journey. My long term goal is to lose over 100 lbs and my game plan consists of different phases/stages with different approaches. One of the phases was liposuction. I made my decision on who I was going to trust with my body/life based on the reviews I read online and quite frankly after reading the reviews of the top 10 reviewed plastic surgeons, Dr. Paul Vitenas reviews stood out above the rest and my decision was clear. I'm naturally a nerve wreck when it comes to anything medical related specially a procedure of this magnitude, but Dr. Vitenas and his phenomenal staff made it such a breeze. From the day I had my preliminary appointment to the day I woke up wrapped in my garment, the whole process especially the day of the procedure, was a walk in the park (for me that is). Recovery & results were dead on as described and follow up appointments where also a positive experience. Not to mention the facility which is stunningly beautiful and very well designed. My hats off to the architectural firm responsible for it. Dr. Vitenas and his team are without a doubt my recommendation to anyone in the market and of course my choice for any future cosmetic procedures going forward. In fact my wife is making plans and preparations for her own procedure sometime in the not so distant future. God Bless Dr. Vitenas and staff for such a wonderful service! A very very happy lifetime customer! Francisco Chapa III Pasadena, TX read more

One of my biggest regrets in life was trusting this man with my cosmetic procedure. I was left horribly scarred (all the way from my breasts to my back) and disfigured when all was said and done. Additionally, the surgery was done so poorly it had to be redone less than a year later. Thankfully, I chose a much better Dr the second time around. I went to Vitenas to express my displeasure with his work. He admitted that the surgery wasn't successful, but he wouldn't discuss refunding any of my money. He instead wanted nearly $5000 to fix his mistake. I look worse than I did before my procedure, so the last thing I wanted was for him to touch me again. Ladies, stay away from this man. He isn't worth the risk. read more

Had my first surgery with Dr Vitenas, it was a 360 Lipo. The Doctor was always rushing and I felt like he didn't listen to me as a patient. My procedure was in July and I honestly still don't see any difference in my body. After 7 months I am writing review a because I feel like I wasted my time and my money. My body looks the same, as before the surgery. All my friends tell me that there's no change in my body and they suggested to make a review. I didn't want to do it because Vivienne was so nice to me. But I think is fair for future patients to know what I went through. It was very painful and not worth. Please, be careful when choosing a Doctor. Some Doctors offer discounts to their patients after leaving a good online review. Do your research and don't fall for the pressure they put to hold a price. read more

I didn't know where to start when I decided to get a Breast Augmentation. I went for a few different consultations, but after I met with Dr. Vitenas I knew I wanted to come her and boy I am so glad I did!! Dr. Vitenas is so kind and his staff are so nice and professional. I felt super comfortable from the consultation to the folllow ups after my surgery. They always answered my questions even when I called in with silly ones. I was hesitant size wise and even on surgery day I was nervous it was gonna be to big. I went with what he recommended size wise and I have absolutely no regrets! My boobs look AMAZING and I LOVE them!!. They look and feel natural and even one of my friends told me I have Barbie boobs! (So they look pretty perfect!) I will definitely come back and send any friends or family here! Thank you Dr. Vitenas!! read more

Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery - Progress day 1 of buccal fat removal - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I would first start by saying Dr. Vitenas' work is AMAZING but the entire process is what's disappointing. In April 2019,I got a breast augmentation and I love my actual results but had I known more, I would have made a different decision. In June of 2018, I went to Dr. Vitenas' office for a breast augmentation in which I was referred to by a few girls who have also been to Dr. Vitenas office for a breast augmentation. Upon my arrival I was set up with a consultant by the name of Cheryl, who was terrible. She was all about the money and did not explain much at all to me. I went in with Dr. Vitenas but I wasn't shown different sizes, before and after pictures of others looks, educated on the different sizes/brands, styles, or looks that a breast augmentation can provide for you. I wasn't even asked, What look do you want to achieve? He gave me what he saw fit, I guess based of my measurements but that was it. I didn't go back for a year to follow because I didn't feel comfortable. After deciding this is something I really wanted I decided to go back and again, I dealt with Cheryl by default. We went back in the room to try on sizes based off the previous year but I was not educated on anything. I wasn't made aware of the moderate-profile vs. high profile or any of the sort but I thought it was come later. Once I paid it off and pushed my date up I still had no clue what profile or anything I was being giving. I had to go to another Plastic Surgeons Instagram page to ask question that Dr. Vitenas office did not provide me with. A week prior to my surgery I was asking Cheryl a million questions that I know I should have known by this point and she was RUDE. The day before my surgery, I called her to get more information and we basically argued on the phone. I should have pulled the plug but I did not because he was so highly recommended by friends. Now 3 months later, I like his work but the LOOK isn't what I was going for but had I been properly educated I would have know what to actually choose instead of taking what they gave me. His work is great but the process is horrible. I have a size and a look that I'm not happy with and now I have to spend more money to achieve the look I actually want. read more

I went there for a consultation on my face. I wanted to see options for lifting my sagging skin on the cheeks. I went opened minded, but I never thought I was going to feel humiliated by this doctor, who doesn't have a hint of empathy. He thought it was funny to compare me ( middle age woman in her late forties) with his assistant a young girl who must be in her early twenties, by saying: "Look at her face, and look at you, you don't need any surgery my darling, you are young and beautiful....". Never again.... look for somebody else who will understand the vulnerable position we are. Yes at some level there is a bit of vanity wanting to go there and expose you, but there is no need to talk to us, clients like that. Now, I am ok with my sagging skin. read more

As a frequent and happy client of Mirror, Mirror Beauty Boutique, when it came time for me to get a cosmetic procedure, I opted to have a consult with Dr. Vitenas. After reading many great reviews and only ever having good experiences at Mirror, Mirror, I was fairly certain he would be the surgeon for me. I am glad I went to the consult appointment before scheduling. I called to get an urgent consult as I felt like I had pulled a chest muscle causing my implant to be displaced or potentially had capsular contracture. The consultant worked me in fairly quickly, which I did appreciate. The kindness of the consultant could not make up for the abysmal bedside manner of Dr. Vitenas. My breast were in so much pain that I had been alternating ice/heat/Tylenol/Advil for several days. Knowing full well that I was in pain, he learned me back on the exam table and proceeded to fully grab, not gently examine, my breasts. This was my fourth consult with a plastic surgeon for the same issue and never has a surgeon touched me so insensitively before. I started to cry and my breast spasmed for a full three days after my consult due to how hard he grabbed my implants. Dr. Vitenas then proceeds to tell me to get dressed and to get photos taken in the next room. I should have gotten up and left but hoping he would give me sound medical advice, I proceeded to have him take photos so I could finally ask some questions about my concerns regarding capsular contracture. He examines his patients first, takes photos, and then answers questions which is very odd as no other surgeons do this. He then proceeded to tell me that nothing is wrong with implants and that I am hormonal. I could not even believe this: he told me to go to my OBGYN so they could assess me for hormonal issues, medication issues, or dietary advice. The whole awful experience ended with me being led to the consultants office to sign off on a quote. Once again, this is not standard practice during a surgical consult. I was in full tears while this poor consultant tried to get me to sign paperwork about their financial terms and cancellation policy. She even looked embarrassed about the whole experience for me. I only had good experiences before at Mirror, Mirror Beauty Boutique but since this surgeon owns the beauty boutique as well, they have lost a customer permanently. I ended up going to another surgeon. I did have issues with my implants capsule that caused terrible pain and which was properly dealt with. read more

Had a chin implant done by Paul Vitenas a little over a decade ago. After the swelling went down, I noticed the implant was crooked, and does not align with my jaw, creating hugely noticeable divots in my jawline. When I asked him what he could do to fix it, the first thing he said boiled down to "well you signed off on the procedure so you can't sue me" which immediately set me back on the wrong foot. I went asking for help, not threatening litigation. He then went on to tell me he did not attach the implant crooked, but that it's my face that is crooked. He said we could maybe do fillers for the jawline every few months ($$$$). I got the hell out of there. Don't go to this doctor. My chin implant bothers me every single day, on both physical and emotional (confidence) levels. From reading these reviews, it seems like the way I was treated, both medically and professionally, is still not unusual to his office. read more

Their laser hair removal procedure was a scam. Laser : I spent 10k and didn't get much hair removed. I was told it would take an unknown number of treatments. That number began to be 8,9,10. It made no sense as I had medium level 3 skin and black hair, and no one else I had ever spoken about treatment/pricing had paid the amounts I was paying for hair removal. After 2 years of mild results and tons of pain, i went elsewhere and achived 95% hair removed with a different (cheaper less painful) laser at a local well-known dermatologist. To ensure I could give an accurate review i waited 2 years to write this. Vitenas office had been using the wrong laser, charging more than double the amount, and kept telling me my genetics could be a limiting factor. What BS. Genetics doesn't play much role in forearm or lower leg hair, just 2 of the parts i was doing, which is stable throughout adult life and not a hormonal hair type. Other areas treated including underarms, didn't work well. Chin and face had zero response. One area treated worked very well. I wrote them after the 3rd, 5th, and 7th treatments to legs, underarms, etc, i increasingly concerned I wasn't seeing results shyer spending 5 then 7 then $8500+. I even sent photos of hair regrowth. The tech was unconcerned and just said "more treatments needed." I couldn't spend this money anymore (or stand looking at the over-plumped expressionless sorority kids running around the office). I had zero expectations at the second place assuming I was just a poor candidate for success- but shockingly i got 95% hair removal results after 2-3 sessions vs 40% ish results after 7-9 sessions with Vitenas (depending on body part). I was shocked that my treatments worked immediately at the dermatologist, as I'd been told the lie that I'm just someone who doesn't respond well, and assumed I'd be in for a lifetime of pain. All just a scam to get me to pay more. A doctor was never consulted about the problem despite my emails concerning how much I'd been paying. The dermatologist's office told me they'd been using a laser more commonly used for African skin types. I spent 10k and had tons of pain for no reward. The girl kept saying "at least you had some results!" I spent maybe $1500 at the derm for 95% hair removal. You do the math on that. I'd like to sue this jerk but I'm sure I signed 40 pages of legalise stating they promise what they deliver - nothing. Also they accept and even expect tips, which is bizarre. The derm office wouldn't even accept tips when i tried to tip! Filler: Also during this time I had asked for a simple in office filler procedure. I wanted very minor results. The doctor said "I won't even bother doing it if you only want one vial. It's not worth it for me. Two minimum." Then left the room so I could think about it. My derm had always given me one single vial and I was always very happy w the look. Vitenas was an Absolute total class A jerk. All about $$$. And note that his face is stiff as a board. The office personnel must be so accustomed to seeing one another they simply don't realize how plastic they look. they're trying to one up each other in cryogenics. So in sum - I never ever would recommend this horrible person. His beside manner is terrible and inappropriate, he and his workers will give you incorrect unnecessary $$$ procedures that you can get for 1/3 the price elsewhere, and the 150 frozen nymphs working there are just fab annoying. My concern was to not look like any of them, so I ran out the door when he tried to push his vials. Vile. Wish I'd ended the laser sooner but unfortunately, I believed these scam artists since that was my first time at laser. read more

I too, was put off by the incessant attempts of the staff to take my pictures before I even had a chance to see the quote, ask questions, see the product or make up my mind. There was a lot of hype at this office, but mistrust started the moment the assistant told me she HAD to have my pictures. Why in the world??? It is a manipulation to get you committed, not a very good one, but probably works with clients who are afraid to think and say no. I am not even a patient, never committed to anything, only shopping for a surgeon, and being put under such pressure so that my private parts would be in someone's possession is uncalled for. I did say NO, and they continued without taking photos. Learn to stand up for what you feel is right, if there is no commitment yet in your mind, this office has no business to have rights to those shots. read more

Part 1: As a woman, I feel compelled to write this review. Let me start out by saying I was beyond excited for my appointment. I have had a few insecurities that have been with me a solid 2 decades and figured I'd finally make time to see someone about it! After careful consideration since my time is limited as a new mom working from home WAY out in the Woodlands, I decided Dr. Vitenas was my guy! My appt was at 12:30, so I got there about 15 min early. After about 35 min, I was called back. From there I talked to my consultant, Erica , in the next room. Let me say, the best thing that place has going for it is Erica. She was personable, nice, and detail oriented, so this review by no means reflects the interaction she and I had. Now I am totally fine with waiting for a doctor, but I was in there a VERY long time, all the while freezing because it's about 60 degrees in that office. Finally Dr. Vitenas comes in and immediately I feel as though he is rushing me. I did appreciate talking to the guy before he saw me naked though, so that's the only kudos I will give him. After the initial hello, I was told to change into the paper garments. REVIEW CONT'D IN PHOTOS BELOW!!!! read more

See all

The best Cosmetic Surgeon and staff in Houston. My surgery included breast lift and augmentation with tummy tuck. As a mom of three, and engineer, my schedule is beyond busy. Dr. Vitenas and his staff ensured that not only I was well informed during my initial consultation, but followed up with any questions or concerns. I initially had a consult after my second child, but was very unsure. 4 years later after my 3rd, I was ready. Once I decided to follow through with the surgery, I received nothing but the highest level of care and information. From helping me with my work documents down to my post op. His practice has a private entrance and exit once surgery is complete and they kept my husband updated throughout my surgery. Very upscale and cleanliness was exceptional. I am completely happy with my results. As an African American woman, I was concerned about scarring and keloids. I am almost 2 years post op and love my results still. I have had some issues with small keloids, but using the scaring gel and follow Dr. advice has been a plus. I recently had a mammogram and was told my nurse/tech that I had the best augmentation she has seen in all her years. I was stunned. The cost of both surgeries was in the higher range, but you get what you pay for. It is very much worth it!!! Do you research and Dr. Vitenas will be happy to answer and concerns that you have. I will try to find my pics to post later. Blessings to you all! read more

I absolutely LOVE this office I haven't had my procedure yet but I'm scheduled for it in 2 days. I found Dr. Vitenas online and after viewing his beautiful work I went in for a consultation, He and Cheryl (who is very knowledgeable and genuine) instantly made me feel so comfortable! It was like they instantly knew what I needed! I felt so trusting and comfortable I literally had NO questions and laid my deposit and scheduled my surgery that day. I went back in for another sizing just to try them on again and fill out paperwork and Cheryl placed them perfectly and made me fall in love with them again I grew even more anxious and exited. Crystal did my Pre-Op consultation and was absolutely amazing and informative as well. All staff has been nothing short of incredible from front desk to the back and I'm super excited to see the finished product of this journey! HAD MY PROCEDURE AND LOVED everything about it! read more

I had a bad lip injections done at another place and Dr. Vitenas fixed it for me. He was expensive but worth the money. If you need work done I would trust no one else. read more

I am absolutely ASTOUNDED at my experience here at Dr. Vitenas office. My girlfriend had her breast augmentation surgery and She was in and out very promptly. The nurses are very kind and informative. Her recovery has been incredibly easy and virtually painless. We arrived at 5:45 and were out by 8:30. Went home to sleep off the Anesthesia and was up and about shopping and getting mani pedi and I will ALWAYS recommend his practice. She Absolutely adores her breasts and experience. Thank you thank you thank you! read more
