Robert S. Houser, DO

Breast Lift x 2 ... first lift was in March 2019 with silicone implants .. my breast unfortunately were still not lifted/saggy. So, I had surgery to have my Breast lifted for the second time Nov 15, 2021

These are pictures from 1 week Post-OP. I'm so worried bout my incisions and how they look so thick, red, swollen ...

I did purchase the Anchor silicone scar pads to use one-month Post-OP. I am just wearing a one-size too small sports bra to keep them compressed .. I only take it off to shower..

any advice on how to Get the BEST Results with these scars ... I know it can take a year to see a difference, I how Would LOVE & Appreciate any advice regarding post scar treatment!

Dr. Houser is the best plastic surgeon I have ever met, and I've been through dozens trying to find someone who was kind and also delivered amazing results. I was treated so well by all the staff and Dr. Houser was wonderful throughout the entire process. He fixed my botched chin implant, and made my chin look absolutely amazing. My procedure ended up being more complicated and taking more time than expected, but I was not charged extra, which many surgeons would have done. Anyone looking for a surgeon that is talented and truly cares about his patients should go to Dr. Houser.

Dr. Howser is one of the best doctors I've ever had. I had the misfortune of obtaining several infections that had me in and out of the hospital for 185 days the summer of 2005. We thought we were out of the woods and one day kept a visit to my family doctor. He looked at my incisions and was pleased with my healing ... So we got tacos and went home. I was wearing shorts and I told my husband my leg hurt. We both thought it was my imagination. Unfortunately, when I peeled back the hem on my shorts, lo and behold ... My legs were on fire and wounds and surrounding skin were bright red. And we knew that meant more infection.You could almost watch it grow. The Aetna Nurse assigned to me miraculously called in the midst of this. She told us to go to a completely different hospital, one I had not treated at yet. So we did and the ER doctor was not pleased. He felt we were complicating the issues by going to a new hospital but the Aetna Nurse called and explained her order. When the ER doc walked back in, surprised look on his face, plastic surgeons don't hang out in ERs but Dr. Howser did that day. What a miracle because he was the only one who could help and he did. Infection was gone almost immediately upon abradement. I did need a wound vac but everything was better with Dr. Howser's care. Go to surgical floors of hospitals and ask nurses for recommendations. But you can trust Dr. Howser's care. He listens to you, orders appropriate tests, and discusses findings with you in a way you can understand.

Great experience with my dr, this is not my first procedure with him. Very realistic and honest. I’m only on the first night after the procedure but I definitely am expecting to enjoy my final results. I was told I probably wouldn’t need the pain pills (and I have a pretty good tolerance to pain). But I’ve been living by them religiously every 4 hours so far. My lips themselves don’t hurt it’s my teeth and jaw but I have this when I get numbed at my dentist office for dental procedures so I’m assuming it’s a personal circumstance.

It’s been two days since my initial post. As you can see in pictures the swelling went up a bit but the shape of the lips looks great! No bruising so far. Just on day 2post op I ran into a horrible migraine situation. I was icing periodically during the day and over night but I must not have been icing enough? I woke up day 2 post op and felt good the swelling had gone down slightly and I felt able to take on a few dimples tasks (puttibgvaway laundry, sweeping up my cracker crumbs from med time by my bed and giving my husband a haircut). By the end of that I felt like death and had a headache so strong nothing made it go away or lighten up...There was crying.. there was no eating... just praying to fall asleep. Luckily the esthetician emailed my husband to check up on us as he had a facial peel with her a few days prior to my surgery. She said she could not stress the importance of icing all the time.. something about the nerves and the swelling and she promised I should feel better the next day. Well today is the next day and while I don’t gave a constant headache anymore like she said I’m terrified to move lol.. I write this as I lay in bed mustering the courage to see how it goes. I slept with ice packs through out the entire night. So DONT GET ME WRONG ITS STILL WORTH IT!!! None of my pain (or pain pill useage) or agony with this experience has been due to my actual lips. It’s the tension I’ve experienced in my jaw line and and the full head, neck and face headache I (probably) self inflicted on accident. I can’t say that I remember reading any reviews during my research that had complaints about a migraine like me so it’s probably a one off situation and I tend to not sit still well. So listen to your doctor when they say ICE ICE ICE continuously. For me it was hard the first 24 hours because with the numbness in the lips and tension in the jaw it felt like it made me tense more. But it works miracles you don’t even realize!

It’s been almost 2 months since my procuder and I LOVE them!! It took a few weeks to gain back full feeling of my lips and/or nerves to get back to normal but it was nothing drastic. I never bruised and if I hadn’t mentioned it in any previous posts I did do the 5mm Permalip on top and bottom. I’ve posted pictures of with and without make up.

I am 1 week post augmentation. Dr. Houser and all of his staff have been amazing. Dr houser took a ton of time answering all of my questions, surgery was a breeze, and very little pain after. I am 1 week post op. I would 100% recommend Dr Houser. Very kind, honest, and always professional and made me feel comfortable.

Had silicone breast implants done in 2010 by Dr. Houser. Always felt I could have went larger. I am 5'4", weigh 135lbs. W/ broad shoulders. Implant size is 350cc in one breast & 325cc in the other. Think I weighed less in 2010. Had to talk my husband into getting them done, so I dread talking to him about coming back. No disrespect to you the Dr., but I think you aired on the side of precaution because of my husband & also to be more natural looking. I dont want to look like a "stripper", but I have to wear pushup bras to get the results. If I have no bra on, you cant tell I have had implants. I feel like I am smaller than everyone else who has implants. But I know it depends on a lot of different factors. Just ran into a friend of mine who just had hers done. She is same height as me & probably weighs a little less than me, ( no broadshoulders) & she has 380cc silicone & was given the option of going 400 & some. I feel like if you & my husband would of listened to me, I would be satisfied with the size i was looking for & not wanting to come back,lol..curious as to the price of revision surgery? Approximately 6-7,000? & I have to get my husband on board again! Ugh..in 2020 it will be 10yrs. since surgery, but always wanted to be little larger..thank you!!

Dr Hauser has done my Botox for the past year. He has done an amazing job! I am pleased with his staff and his professionalism! One of the best in Columbus! He takes the time to explain what looks best and why. Great surgeon!

After speaking with so many women and multiple consultations I knew with out a doubt Dr Houser was the surgeon for me! I had a breast augmentation 10 days ago and couldn’t be happier with the results! He and his team are the absolute best in columbus and I would recommend him 100%

I love dr houser. I recently had implants and was so upset at the size I went to. He 100% recommended smaller but listened to my wishes. He was so understanding and I went back to have them reduced and they are perfect! His bedside manner is the best! Made me laugh in a very stressful time. Took time to listen and I 100% trusted him the second time around and the proof is in the results. I truly want to hug him and thank him daily for all he has done for me. I chose him because a friend who was a nurse went to him and highly recommended him for medical reasons such as low infection rate. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is truly top notch.

I had Volbella injected under a few scars on my face and some in my upper lip. Overall I experienced very little pain. The Volbella made a huge improvement in my lips. The scars actually balanced out pretty well. It worked great. Super, super happy with the results. And 6 months later and I'm still happy. Plan to call to see if I need a touch up in a month.
