My experience with Plastic Surgery in Dallas
My experience with a plastic surgeon in Dallas has been absolutely fantastic. I went to see Dr. Rod Rohrich at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute for a rhinoplasty and turbinate resection. Turbinate resection is when enlarged bones inside the nose are carved down to an appropriate size. I was having severe problems breathing, to the point that I could not get a breathe in through the left nostril. My nasal septum was deviated, secondary to sports trauma, and hereditary factors. Both my Dad and brother have had the same issue. Anyway, since I was going to need work on my deviated septum, I asked Dr. Rohrich to make the tip of my nose cosmetically more pleasing. Dr. Rohrich is the Chief of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern, and has written one of the authoritative texts on surgery of the nose. However, I asked an anesthesiologist friend of mine who he thought was the best plastic surgeon he had worked with, and he responsed that it was either Dr. Rohrich or one of his partners. Anyway, everything about the experience with Dr.Rohrich was great, including his staff, the surgical suite, and post-operative follow-up. A word to the wise, rhinoplasty seems like a little deal but it is not the most comfortable procedure to deal with, and it really takes about 6 months to get over it. However, I am very happy with the results, and my breathing has been great. I highly recommend Dr. Rohrich
Please submit your reviews of Dallas Plastic Surgeons
This website is intended to educate patients on the Dallas, Texas plastic surgery scene. There are many great plastic surgeons in Dallas, but there are also some poor ones. If you are depending on D Magazine picks and referrals from your primary care doctor, be very wary. The Best Doctors edition of D Magazine is a popularity competition; I should know because I was in it for 2 years before I refused to play that game. In addition, most primary care doctors just go on the reputation of the plastic surgeon when they refer cases, rather on a first hand knowledge of their skills. So please submit your comments and suggestions for your experience and we can build a community that can inform and educate other potential patients. Just to show you that I am not only a doctor, but I am also a patient, I will submit my review and experience with a very famous and well respected plastic surgeon in Dallas.
