Your Consultation

The patient consultation is an important part of Dr. Vitenas’ surgical process, vital to achieving successful results. The appointment is equal parts interview and education, ensuring each patient feels comfortable and confident with Dr. Vitenas and his staff. Taking his time, Dr. Vitenas will get to know the potential patient’s needs and desires, as well as details on their medical and surgical background. He will also share details of his own educational background and experience, creating a two-way conversation the spurs confidence and trust. The next step is a detailed physical examination, giving Dr. Vitenas a better idea of which procedure will be the right choice for a specific patient.

Once the best technique has been determined, Dr. Vitenas will explain the treatment in detail, spotlighting all of the surgical and noninvasive options available. Dr. Vitenas will present multiple before/after photographs of his recent surgical patients, undergoing a similar procedure, for review. In many cases, Dr. Vitenas will also use computer imaging to help the client visualize their potential results. Finally, Dr. Vitenas will go through the pre-op and post-op requirements, including what to expect from the recovery period.

After the exact cost of the procedure has been determined, the patient coordinator will outline the various payment options, including medical financing. By the end of the consultation appointment, each patient should have the necessary tools to make an informed decision on how to move forward with the recommended treatment plan. However, there is never any pressure to make an immediate decision.

Patient Testimonials

I absolutely love Dr. Vitenas and his staff! My experience was wonderful and he is extremely trustworthy. I will not go to anyone else but him!
This was the best experience of my life, after five kids the gym wasn’t cutting it, it was so difficult to get rid of that extra skin hanging off my belly. The nurses and the doctor made me feel so comfortable, they made me feel like they truly care about what I wanted. Of coarse surgery is always painful but was super worth it. I’m so happy with the results I got. They were always there to answer any questions I had before and after surgery.
Dr Vitenas in Houston is hands down the best plastic surgeon. Last year i decided i was going to have my under eye bags removed. After a lot of research i chose Dr Vitenas, and oh my goodness, the results were tremendous. I was only 36 and those hereditary eye bags made me look soooo awful, and after he did the blepharoplasty, it took away 15 years off my face. He also recommended some juviderm on my cheeks and i can't stress enough the genius nature of this man. Everyone compliments me on how young i look and i just chuckle , if they only knew. A year later i decided i had to have some breast implants put in, and i went right back to him and he was just as amazing. From the consult, his office staff, the surgery, i truly felt that he actually truly cares for his patients. He is genuine, and explains everything and i am so thankful to him and his staff. I would recommend him to everyone who desires to have anything done, he is one special doctor.
