Cameron Craven, MD, FACS

I have to take a minute and share my experience with plastic surgeon Dr. Cameron Craven at Park Cities Dermatology on Bee Caves Rd. concerning my blepharoplasty procedure. Dr. Craven took his time to listen to my needs and made sure that I felt 100% confident with his plan before scheduling my surgery. This was KEY for me knowing he understood exactly what I wanted and not left fearing looking overdone. During the surgery, Dr. Craven and his team made sure I felt safe, calm, comfortable, and completely numb throughout the surgery. The recovery process was much easier than I anticipated and surprisingly totally painless. After the natural post-op. swelling subsided the final results exceeded my expectations. I am 45 years old and now feel and look rested and 12 years younger. You can see Dr. Craven’s passion for his craft and his patients the moment you meet him and that’s the kind of plastic surgeon everyone should have!

6 days after my upper eyelid surgery with Dr Craven, and words cannot express how happy I am! My lids look fabulous, and the entire experience was wonderful. (I knew it would be... I've had several (natural-looking result) procedures done with Dr C and his team over the past 10 years, and would never trust another practice to take care of me as well as they do). Even better, I recommended Dr Craven to a dear friend of mine, and she had the same procedure 2 days after I did. We have been recovering together... sending pics, raving about our favorite doc, and loving every second of our new non-hooded journeys. Also wanted to send a shoutout to Makailah, one of his incredible gals on staff... she spent so much extra time with me during my consult answering questions & getting me booked during a slot perfect for my busy schedule. And omg Nicole, his nurse... just love her to pieces!!! I'm not new to procedures that help a gal stay fabulous as she ages, know lots of practices around town, and have seen many real life before and after examples of what plastic surgeons can do (many of my friends have had work done now that we are in our 40's. Lot's of the results are great, some good, and I've also seen some horror stories...) and no one holds a candle to Dr Craven- I know from experience that some Drs have "excellent games", but Dr C and his team simply have "game excellence", and I love them all so much. Truly grateful for these guys :)

Years after my first raving review of Dr. Cameron Craven and his team, I'm back and still just as in love with his practice. This time I had a small chin implant just about 10 days ago. 

I've trusted Dr. Craven with several things over the years... lip implants, tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation, Botox, butt lift, fat transfers, and lipo. Everything was wonderful and looks very natural- I don't look like I've had work done at all (besides my obvious and normal swelling from my brand new chin last week that will go away), and this is really important to me. I tried to consult with him about a mini facelift years ago, and he suggested I slow down and wait until I was older- I really appreciate this advice today. 

Dr. Craven feels like family, and so do Nicole and Allison, his incredibly kind nurses. He's in such demand, must work incredibly hard, and still takes the time to understand his patients and prepare them every step of the way. A few appointments ago, he had just gotten back from a 3rd world country where he did pro bono work for extremely impoverished people with cleft palates and other severe disfigurements. 

These stories were so amazing, and so is what he did for these people. Dr. Craven is extremely talented, a master of his craft, and is also a really good person. I'm so blessed to have found this practice.

Dr Craven is an awesome surgeon. I have had a CO2 Laser Resurfacing done by him in May 2018 and in October 2018, I had the following procedures done by Dr. Craven, Lower Face-Lift, Neck Lift, Fat Transfer to upper eyelids and laser resurfacing around my mouth area. You can't find a better surgeon, I have been very pleased and will continue to go to Dr. Craven for maintenance in the future. He is very professional as are all of his assistants and appointments with him are never rushed, he makes you feel you are his only patient. If you have questions, a call into the office and you will get someone to answer your questions almost immediately. He and his staff are the best!

I’m 56 years old and I had a mini-facelift and blepharoplasty a year ago with Dr. Craven. I can’t sing his praises high enough. I had lost a lot of weight and had a lot of loose skin on my cheeks. He did a great job. I have a 32 year old son and people often think I’m his wife. The scars are all behind my ears. Dr. Craven is the best.

Amazing!!! I came in for consultation with little to no knowledge about breast augmentation! I knew I wanted to have more volume and fullness at the top of my breast. I didn’t want to look “heavy” or feel like my breast didn’t match my body so that was a concern for me. Dr. Craven suggested I do “mentor smooth round classic” I was in shock because the little knowledge I did research on I felt that I would go with moderate plus, however he felt I had plenty of projection that moderate classic would be better for my frame! I was worried, but at the end of the day he was the plastic surgeon and I trusted him! I am soooo incredibly happy with my results that I had to share!! I still have projection I wanted, and the fullness in my breast that I had hoped!! YOU MUST SEE HIM!! He’s extremely talented and very kind!!

I had been working out and gotten down to my goal weight by still had a hard time losing the problem areas. I went in for my consult with Dr.Craven, whom I had researched a TON, and his nurse, Allison East. I went in for lipo originally but after learning about the Brazilian Butt lift procedure, this was the best route for me to go. He would take out the fat via lipo and inject it into my buttocks, which I had lost significant volume from my workout routine. I had my inner thighs, saddlebags, tummy and love handles liposuctioned. The instructions and pre-operative instructions were laid out IN DETAIL, and I followed everything to the T! The day of surgery, I was pretty nervous but Allison and the rest of the staff were so calming and nice, and helped ease my nerves. Dr.Craven came in and his calm and professional bedside manner made me even more happy that I had gone with the right surgeon. The procedure itself took the amount of time he told me and while I was significantly swollen, I could tell through the post-surgical garments the dramatic difference. This was body contouring, not for weight loss, which was EXACTLY what I needed!! I almost cried when I looked in the mirror the next day for my follow-up appointment. My body was completely transformed, I had dreamed of a body like the one I had but Dr.Craven made it a reality and more. I did the post-lymphatic massages as well as instructed and saw significant improvements from that, as well as not sitting for 3 weeks. I began working out again and was worried about losing the volume in my booty which looked incredible, but after 8 weeks, I felt good about starting and was cleared to work out again. I had my 3 month appointment follow-up with Dr.Craven and Allison and WOW. They were estactic about my results and Dr.Craven gave me a full examination and was extremely pleased. This was worth every penny to have it done by someone of his expertise, knowledge, facility and staff, and someone who truly "sculpted my body" to the absolute best possible case scenario. My friends are all in shock and again, I haven't lost any weight, but completely contoured to the hour glass and my butt looks so high and tight and natural! Dr.Craven is an artist and if you want someone who will tell you what to expect and has the expertise to back it up, you will be so grateful you did!! I'm so happy and it has given me a new confidence that has completely changed my life for the better! Thank you Dr.Craven!

I had my silicone implants put in by another Austin plastic surgeon. I wasn't unhappy with that surgery but after the surgery that doctor said some things that made me question his mental acuity. I ended up with capsular contracture on one implant. I was already seeing Dr. Craven for botox and fillers and trusted him completely so I had him do my revision. It was done under twilight. So much easier than the original surgery. Very little downtime. He used the same implant, same incision. This was a couple of years ago and I haven't had any issues with it. I'm very happy I had the revision.

I got a breast augmentation with Dr. Craven. I have never had a major surgery before, and he and the staff made me feel very comfortable about it. He explained how the procedure would happen, what the other options were about where to make the incision, etc., and he explained why he chose a particular method for my situation; he explained all of the risks and answered all of my questions. He did an amazing job and my boobs look great!

I've had a lot of work done over the years and have been spoiled by my access to the best cosmetics surgeons in Los Angeles. When I moved to Austin I was dubious about my prospects of finding a world class cosmetic surgeon to compete with those I'd become accustomed to.

Boy was I mistaken!

Not only can Dr Craven at Westlake Dermatology compete, he's the best cosmetic surgeon I've ever had the pleasure of being treated by.

I've so far been to him for at least half a dozen Botox treatments, as many injectable face lifts (Juvederm, Restalyn, Radiesse, etc). He even did an upper eyelid blepharoplasty that was flawless!

You simply can't do better than Dr Craven, and that's to say nothing of the fact that he's just a really cool, nice, generous guy!

Thanks Dr Craven!
