“Excellent Experience, from the Consult to the Post-op Visit - Houston, TX”
Mommy Makeover
"First off let me say I researched doctor's in the Conroe and Houston Area. Dr. Lapuerta came highly recommended among my husbands coworkers. I was met with a smile from all staff on the day of my consult. The doctor and his staff are very thorough, there was not a question that went unanswered. Amazing experience I recommend Dr. Lapuerta to everyone that compliments my new look."

“Do Your Research - Houston, TX”
"Triple Board Certified, not a lot of PS are. He was very professional answered ALL my questions and his staff is amazing. I was shocked at how thorough my pre-op appt was, the nurse went through all side effects/complictions with me and Dr L came by and sat and talked with me as well. I had breast aug done in March, and I get nothing but compliments on how natural I look!"

“Perfect Breast Lift - Houston, TX”
"I finally decided to get my breast lift after nursing my third child. I was just not happy with the way I looked and felt self conscience when I wore any shirt that was form fitting. I was pretty nervous about the whole cosmetic surgery idea because I've never had any work done but all of those nerves had been replaced with butterflies of excitement after meeting with Dr. L. All of my questions (my little - OK long list of questions) were answered in a detailed manner he was not annoyed at all. His calm and caring demeanor reassured me that I could have not chosen a more compassionate surgeon. My surgery was a success, my breasts are firm and lifted and look incredible. I am now looking forward to swimsuit season!"
