“The Best Surgeons Ever!!! - Memphis, TN”

Tummy Tuck
"After bariatric surgery and weight loss of over 200 pounds, I had large amounts of excess skin. I did lots of research and asked a lot of people when deciding which surgeons to choose. I met with Dr. A and Dr. E and was immediately certain that they were the ones!! These two surgeons will spend as much time with you as you need to make sure all of your questions are answered. Dr. A will take extra time to explain the surgery to you so that you know exactly what is being done to your body. Dr. E is so sweet and caring. These surgeons most definitely took great care of me after the surgery too. They are AWESOME, and I HIGHLY recommend them!!!"

“Breast Re-Augmentation - Memphis, TN”

Breast Augmentation
"I did quite a bit of research on area Plastic Surgeons, as I had a previous horrible experience. Dr. A came out on top, by far, in my research, and after my first appointment with him I was even more impressed. He and Dr. E both have incredible knowledge in their field, and fixed a major problem another surgeon had created. If you are looking for the best, you have found them!!"

“Amazing Plastic Surgeon! - Memphis”

"Dr. A performed a breast augmentation on me a little over 2 years ago and I could not be happier with the results. I had a consult with another doctor as well and knew immediately when I walked into Dr. A's office that I was in the right place. I was told of all the pros and cons of my surgery and felt completely comfortable with my decision. I would definitely recommend Dr. A for your surgery needs!"

“The Most Caring Surgeons!! HIGHLY Recommended!!! - Memphis, TN”

Butt Lift
"As I have said before, these doctors are awesome! They are the most caring doctors I have ever met. They spend as much time as you need to feel comfortable and to answer all of your questions. You can call them or e-mail them anytime with questions. You can depend on them to be there for you after the surgery and take great care of you. Trust me, these doctors will go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. I accidentally tore my wound open after my butt lift procedure and Dr. A and Dr. E met me at their office immediately and reserved an OR at the hospital to repair my damage. They were so sweet to me at a time that I was scared to death. THAT really meant a lot to me. I will NEVER go to anyone else!!!"

“Money Well Spent - Memphis, TN”

"From the very first time I met with Dr. Aldea for a consultation, I felt at ease. I knew that this was the person that I wanted to handle my procedure. Dr. Aldea performed a Tummy Tuck with lipo of my lower back. I decided to get the lipo of my back because I told him that I have a problem with my butt. I actually said ," I have no butt and I want some,lol." Dr. Aldea informed me that its not that I didn't have a butt its just that I have extra fat that's covering my lower back side which hides the definition of my butt. He could have suggested a butt lift and took my money when it really wasn't needed but he didn't. Well guess what,since the surgery I have butt for days. You would have thought that I had a Brazilian butt lift when I actually just had lower back lipo. It's not often that you find plastic surgery doctors that puts your first in every aspects. You need someone you can trust and count on and Dr. Aldea is that person. As of right now, I've scheduled for him to performed a Breast Augmentation for this month. I'm so excited to see the results."

“Plastic Surgery Patient Reviews - Memphis, TN”

"Jane - September 20, 2011. . . I have been under the care of Drs. Aldea & Eby for several years now during which time I have undergone breast implant removal, lower face & neck lift, liposuction of the abdomen with fat transfer to face and most recently brazilian butt lift. From beginning to end these two plastic surgeons have proven to be, without a doubt, the very best in the field. The outcomes from all the above named procedures far exceeded all my expectations. I could not be more pleased with the results. No question is ever left unanswered and you immediately sense the passion they have for their profession. Extremely dedicated and skilled surgeons/artists. I wholeheartedly and without reservation highly recommend these two physicians. They are indeed definite assets to the medical profession specifically the field of plastic, cosmetic and resconstructive surgery. Their support staff including the hospital based outpatient surgical facility demonstrates the highest degree of quality medical care."

“Fantastic Surgeon - Memphis, TN”

"After a significant weight loss I have had several cosmetic procedures- from several different plastic surgeons due to the fact that I have to move every couple of years for my job. Dr. Aldea is without a doubt THE BEST surgeon I have ever consulted with or been treated by. I had come to terms with the fact that surgeons have a certain attitude and despite the fact that cosmetic surgery is always a very personal and emotional subject, as well as very expensive, I could expect to feel rushed and helpless at the hands of my doctors. My experience with Dr. Aldea was very different! He was extremely honest and down to earth, and did not treat me like my questions or desires were secondary to his plans. He was very interested in what my hope for the outcome of the surgery was and made his surgical decisions with this in mind. Unlike many doctors I've visited in the past, I never got that feeling that he couldn't get out of the room fast enough and on to the next patient and the next and the next...it was apparent that he gave EVERY single patient his full attention and was dedicated to provide his very best to every patient he agreed to treat. It was clear he took great pride in his work and the results were fantastic!"
