Dr. Barrera is wonderful and I had such a great experience with rhinoplasty and a small fat transfer to my lips. He is an incredible and skilled surgeon, and really listens to your concerns. His staff is also fantastic - Jessie is so kind and was so patient with answering any questions that I had leading up to my surgery date, and all of his office staff are so sweet and patient as well. I travelled from Dallas for my appointments and would have travelled further if I needed to.

The whole process, from consultation to the day my cast was removed were such a breeze. The fact that the surgery itself was painless and that I had virtually no bruising after truly speaks to Dr. Barrera's skill and experience. Just 7 short days after surgery, my nose already looks perfect with hardly any swelling. My lips are exactly what I was hoping for, with a bit more volume but still very natural. There are a few more small procedures that I want to have done and I would not go to anyone else besides Dr. Barrera.

Dr. Barrera is the absolute best at what he does! I am so amazed at my results and I'm only 3 weeks out! I'm sure I was not the easiest patient out there either! He is so caring and wants only the best for all of his patients! I have the utmost respect for all of his staff! They are phenomenal! Y'all all know how to make a girl feel relieved and taken care of! I can never thank you enough!

I definitely hit the jackpot with Dr. Barrera. He is kind, methodical, and an incredible surgeon. Without general anesthesia, Dr. Berrera performed a 5 hour facelift surgery without me feeling a thing. I never had any bruising and never needed pain medicine once I got home. It's been 13 days and you would never know I had surgery. I now know why he is rated #9 for plastic surgery in the entire country. He's number one in my book.

It's only been 2 wks since my surgery but I am excited with the results. I can't wait to see what I will really look like in about a month when the swelling subsides. I'm already a new person with new confidence. Dr Barrera and his staff have been very professional and only wanted the best outcome for me.

I have seen Dr Barrera and his staff 3 times over nearly 20 years. I would not go anywhere else. The staff is exceptional and Dr. Barrera is highly skilled. The post surgery follow-up is outstanding by both the staff and Dr. Barrera. They over-deliver which is rare these days. BTW, I travel to Houston from some distance because I believe they provide some of the very best hair transplant work/service in the country.
