Recently I had a facelift, chin implant and eye lift by Dr. Romo. The amazing results from this surgery surpassed my expectations on all accounts. Dr Romo spent time with me listening to my concerns, expectations and then made suggestions regarding my options for surgery. He is experienced and professional which instilled confidence in my choice for Plastic surgery. Dr Romo’s staff was attentive, especially his nursing staff post surgery. I am most impressed with Dr. Romo’s skill as a facial surgeon. Everyday I see improvement in areas of my face and Thank Dr. Romo for his attention to my needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Romo for Facial Plastic surgery.

My experience with Dr Romo was 5 star from start to finish. The office staff is knowledgeable and very efficient. Dr Romo takes the time to explain everything . He will not push for unnecessary procedures . The post care follow up was amazing. I am extremely pleased with the results. I look ten years younger. I strongly recommend consulting with Dr Romo if you are considering any facial procedures!!

I had the combined procedures of Facetite and Morpheus which is called Embrace RF, done in Dr. Romo’s office. I had a lot of questions and Dr. Romo patiently explained my facial dynamics and how the procedure would benefit me. His team was professional and thorough in their pre- and post-op care instructions. The procedure itself was uneventful, a pinch for the shots, a little tugging sensation and it was over. The recovery was fast, with a minimal bruise on my chin. It was a great experience all around and I highly recommend the procedure along w/ Dr. Romo and Team!

I had a rhinoplasty done about 10 years ago and was never pleased with the results. Both the aesthetic and functionality were horrible. After constant discomfort and insecurity my ENT referred me to Dr. Romo for a revision. He was kind, caring, smart and understood exactly what I was looking for. After a few consultations I booked my date and did the surgery! It has been about a week and I can’t believe how amazing the results are. He gave me the exact look I wanted and I can finally properly breath again! It sucks that I went 10 years being unhappy with my nose, but I am so thankful Dr. Romo was able to help re-correct it.

It was not an easy decision to get a facelift- At the time I has experiences life eevts that included the managing and then passing of three people closet to me. The stress and aging was showing on my face.. I am so thankful that I chose Dr. Romo for the surgery. He is in my opinion the best for those who want a natural look. Two years later I am thrilled that I had this done.
