It was a great experience. It’s more than just with surgery. Do you need to look nice but it’s a whole wellness conversation that included potential separation of stomach muscle and his plan for recovery you’ll get great results for me.
Dr. Vasilakis is a fantastic plastic surgeon who I would recommend to anyone looking to get skin removal or liposuction of any kind! Below is a detailed review of my experience with Dr. Vasilakis at Memorial Plastic Surgery. After losing 115lbs, I realized that I had a lot of excess skin that I wanted to get removed. I ended up having a series of 2 surgeries about 3.5 months apart that included a circumferential body lift, brachioplasty (arm lift), breast lift + fat grafting, and liposuction + J Plasma to various areas. During my initial search, I made consultations with 4 surgeons, and Dr. Vasilakis was actually my final consultation. He and his wonderful patient care coordinator, Shelby, along with the great staff at Memorial Plastic Surgery made my consultation experience top notch, and I instantly felt comfortable there. The main reasons I chose to go with Dr. Vasilakis were: 1) His bedside manner was amazing - I had about a billion questions for him, and he never tried to rush me, blow off my questions, or give me half answers like some other surgeons did. I like to know the why and how behind things, so I appreciated all of Dr. Vasilakis’ thorough explanations. I also had some specific ideas of what I did/did not want (for example, I knew I didn’t want a BBL or implants), and he never tried to pressure me into doing anything I didn’t feel comfortable with. 2) His body of work spoke for itself (no pun intended lol) - Looking through his Instagram and RealSelf, I found many of his previous patients who had similar work done to what I was wanting, and it looked very well-done. Scar placement on tummy tucks/body lifts was low, symmetrical, and a pretty shape; belly buttons looked natural; body contouring was proportional and not too exaggerated; arm lift scars were straight and not placed directly down the center of the inner arm, (this was a big one for me!); breast work looked natural and symmetrical. Additionally, he had specifically worked with a lot of weight loss patients (rather than just mommy makeovers), which was very important to me. 3) He was up front about treatment options and personalized a plan that we were both happy with - If there was a procedure he didn’t think would be beneficial or worth the scar/money, he would be honest about it rather than try to upsell me (unlike some other surgeons I talked to). By the end of the consultation, he had spent a good amount of time developing a plan of action for me that was thorough and complete. The pricing was also competitive (not cheap by any means lol but reasonable for the amount of work to be done!). Since I had to get two surgeries, they also worked with me to ensure fair pricing for the second one. 4) His post-op care is fantastic - Since I chose to stay overnight both times, he checked in on me the next morning post-surgery before I left the facility. He also pretty much had me come back in and see him once a week for the first month, and then every few weeks thereafter (depending on your individual needs of course). He also gives his patients his cell phone number and always says to text him if I have any questions. This put me at ease knowing that I wouldn’t be left to fend for myself during recovery should any issues arise. Other surgeons I spoke to wouldn’t see their patients personally again until much later or might only have a couple follow up appointments included. (As a heads up, he typically requires at least 10 post-op lymphatic massages, which can get pretty pricey, but are definitely worth it!) 5) All surgical facilities were accredited, clean, and well-maintained - They also had an overnight wing onsite that you could opt to stay in after surgery for an additional fee. The overnight suite, OR, and regular office + waiting room are all in the same building on the same floor, which made everything very convenient. Ample free parking is available in the attached garage as well. I am now about 6 weeks post-op of my second (and final) surgery, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier. I was fortunate to not have many complications, and any that I did have were very minor/common and got resolved or are in the process of doing so. Even though I’m not fully healed yet, I’m amazed that this is the same body I had 6 months ago. There are so many high quality surgeons to choose from in Houston, and I did have a bit of choice paralysis, but at the end of the day, I can’t imagine having chosen anyone other than Dr. Vasilakis. I wouldn’t change anything about my experience (except maybe having the consultation with him first to avoid paying the other surgeons’ consultation fees lol). 11/10 experience!
Dr. V and the entire team at MPS are absolutely outstanding. I came to them for plastic surgery following significant weight loss, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the recommendation that led me here. This was my first experience with plastic surgery, and from start to finish, the care, communication, and professionalism were top-notch. I felt supported every step of the way, and being able to reach out to Dr. V directly gave me so much peace of mind. Three months post-op, I’m thrilled with the results—I look and feel better than I did in my twenties! I had a lower body lift, lipo to flanks, breast lift w/ fat grafting and fat grafting to buttocks. If you’re considering taking the leap, I highly recommend MPS. It’s never too late to feel your best, especially with a team like this behind you.
I’m so grateful to Dr. V and his whole team at Memorial Plastic Surgery. After losing 150+ pounds, I was left with a lot of loose skin… but thanks to his amazing expertise and skills as a surgeon, he has completely changed my life for the better. I can’t imagine going to anyone else for my future skin removal procedures. Thank you, Dr. V!
I had a breast implant exchange with fat grafting done by Dr. Vasilakis and I am beyond happy with both my results and the entire experience. I had had my implants in for almost 15 years and was concerned about how the skin would look because I was exchanging for smaller implants. During our consultation, Dr. Vasilakis took the time to listen carefully to me and understand my goals. He didn’t rush the process at all and made me feel seen, heard, and comfortable with every decision. What stood out to me the most was his genuine care—he even gave me his personal phone number on the day of surgery so I could reach him directly if I had any questions or concerns during recovery. That level of accessibility and compassion is rare and deeply appreciated. The results are exactly what I hoped for: natural, balanced, and beautifully done. He truly under-promised and over-delivered—my results are even better than I dreamed possible! Dr. Vasilakis is not only a skilled surgeon, but also a truly kind and attentive physician. The entire office staff was just as amazing. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and patient. I felt supported from start to finish, which made a significant difference in my overall experience. If you’re considering breast surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Vasilakis and his team. They made me feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the entire journey.
Dr. V and his team are amazing! After almost 12 years with my silicon implants and having two kids, I wanted to replace my implants with smaller ones. I was extremely nervous about how they would turn out since I was going smaller, but Dr. V really listened to all of my concerns and thoroughly explained every detail. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and I am SO happy with my results! Dr. V took the time to personally text me the day after surgery to make sure I was feeling ok and didn’t have any questions/concerns. Him and his entire team have made me feel comfortable and heard from day one, and that is something I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Dr. V and his team!
I had an incredible experience with Dr. V and his team. Right from the beginning, his staff was incredibly supportive and made the entire process so much easier. Dr. V even gave me his personal number to reach out with any questions or concerns during my recovery, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
Dr. Vasalakis and his entire team are nothing short of exceptional. From my very first consultation, Dr. Vasalakis was incredibly thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to really listen to my concerns, explained every detail with care, and instantly put me at ease. It’s rare to find a physician who combines such professionalism with genuine compassion—but he does exactly that. The entire staff, from the front desk to the medical assistants, made every visit a positive experience. They are warm, attentive, and incredibly well-informed. No question was too small, and I always felt supported and cared for throughout the entire process. At 5’5” and 150 lbs pre-surgery, I was looking for a provider who would truly understand my goals and guide me with honesty and expertise—and I found that and more with Dr. Vasalakis. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and results. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking not just great medical care, but a team that truly cares.
From the moment I called Dr. Vasileios Vasilakis' office, I knew I had chosen the right team. I was referred to Dr. V’s group and, even though I live in Austin, I made the decision to travel for surgery because I trusted him to handle something so important to me—removing my implants and performing a mini tummy tuck. His office staff went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule, working around the distance and making it easy for me and my family. They understood how excited I was to have my implants removed and helped me get a date that worked perfectly. The pre-op experience was equally impressive. The staff was incredibly kind and helped calm my nerves. I felt completely at ease, knowing I was in such capable and caring hands. Not only is Dr. V a skilled surgeon, but he’s also surrounded by a team that truly cares. After the surgery, Dr. V personally texted me the next day to check in and make sure I had his number in case I needed anything. He was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to my comfort and recovery. Dr. V listened to what I wanted, offered his expert guidance, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I’m beyond thrilled with the outcome and so grateful I trusted him with this journey. I highly recommend Dr. V to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly talented surgeon!
Hi - I am 4 weeks post op. I am feeling and looking great. Dr. V has been amazing this entire journey. He is so personable and caring. If you’re thinking of a breast augmentation he is the BEST! I felt safe and well taken care of. His staff and nurses also took great care of me. My biggest thing is to come back home to my babies and Dr. V and his staff made sure I had no complications. He always answered all my questions. Very genuine character.
