Andre Levesque, MD

After meeting with several top rated plastic surgeons in Austin, I found Dr. Levesque. He was the only one willing to do a Deep plane facelift under local anesthesia, right in his office. This, along with his entire practice/staff, level of professionalism and explanation, etc., gave me complete confidence in having him do the procedure. I was still nervous going into procedure day, but truly, I am still amazed that I literally walked out of there looking like nothing had happened (well, other than the stitches under the bandages, ha!) and feeling fine. I walked the dog when I got home, and was able to shower and wash my hair the next day. I will try to post some photos that show the minimal amount of bruising. The truth is, I could have gone most anywhere and with only swelling, only someone who knew me would have wondered if I'd had a procedure done, and this from day 1!!! I guess that using local involves being given something that minimizes blood circulation in the area during the procedure, so there was just almost no bruising. It has been 2.5 months since the surgery. The scars are healing fine. I still have a bit of tightness in my right neck and some numbness on sides of my face and around ears, but that's about it. The really cool thing is that it is just so natural looking. Updated on 6 Dec 2023: The first 3 photos are pre-op. The rest are all of the first week. I will post some later photos soon. Overall though, I’m still really happy with the results. We had planned to do a face fat transfer after the lift and decided to postpone it for another day. Yesterday,, 11 months after the deep plane lift, it happened. I’ll post photos of the post-op, and once it has healed somewhat, in a few weeks.

Dr. Levesque & his staff are absolutely the best!!! Superb professionalism along with friendliness, cleanliness, & genuine care are what prompted me to write this review. I was terrified having 4 basal cell carcinomas removed from my face. Outcome - surgery was almost pain free, all cancers removed with no scarring after 5 weeks. Dr. Levesque was always a phone call away. I always got a live person the few times I called post surgery which were a great comfort. I really feel I hit the jackpot choosing this fantastic surgeon. Highly recommend!

After years of diet, exercise and prodding at my belly, I decided to bite the bullet and get a tummy tuck. I’ve had 2 babies and one was delivered via C-section. I also have PCOS and hypothyroid/Hashimoto’s, which adds to the challenge of losing my mummy tummy. I consulted with 4 surgeons and Dr. Levesque was the clear favorite from the moment I spoke with him. His staff went out of their way to get a consultation scheduled for me in a timely manner. His bedside manner is second to none. He clearly strives to have as much relevant current knowledge as possible, and is willing to discuss with an open mind. He did not try to upsell and I felt the consultation experience was genuine and comprehensive. I had the procedures completed today, which was a lipoabdominalplasty and bilateral upper arm lipo. About 10 years ago I had lipo on my thighs and flanks while living in another state. The surgery went off without a hitch and there were no complications. I haven’t removed my binder yet to see what my skin looks like, but I can clearly see my new shape and I am very excited! I am posting before pictures so y’all can see where I started, and will update as we go. I had moderate ab separation and significant flab, and I’m so excited to see what my body looks and feels like after it’s all healed. Updated on 18 Jun 2020: I’m finally coming out of the haze and ready to check in. One of the more annoying side effect of whatever I was taking was my typing wasn’t close enough for autocorrect to figure out what I meant. I’ve had my first follow-up appointment and had a few lymphatic drainage massages. Since the surgery was drainless, there is some fluid draining towards my knees with a bit of bruising, but it’s not painful. Photos in no particular order. Updated on 18 Jun 2020: These are mirror selfies taken in the last day or 2 (post-op day 4-5 I think). Still a good amount of bruising and swelling, but starting to dissipate. Lymphatic massage has helped move things along, as well as short walks around my house. Ice helps with pain too. Updated on 21 Jun 2020: Overall doing well. I’m seeing/typing straight which is good, and mostly coherent. I have some draining bruises on my legs mostly. They aren’t bothersome, just worth noting. I am continuing with lots of arnica, dry brushing and lymphatic massage when scheduling permits. I feel like I have a lot of energy, but after about 10 minutes it’s gone and I’m back to bed. Oh well. Updated on 24 Jun 2020: Everything is healing nicely. I was able to see how my abs will be able to move a little today, they’ve been largely numb and immobile except for when I move too fast or in the wrong way then I get a firm tugging sensation reminding me to slow down. I have a lot of energy for about 5 minutes then I’m tired and have to go take a nap. My belly button had some discharge so I went to visit Dr. Levesque, who confirmed it is healing fine but is irritated by the stitches. Since this is was a stainless procedure, my body is also looking for places to drain as needed, and that’s the main one. I also had a stitch or 2 by each of my elbows from the lipo cannula, which were ready to come out. I’m having a good amount of internal drainage down my legs with some volume but mostly looking bruised, although it’s not bruising. It doesn’t hurt or anything, but I was amused at how well the colors coordinated with my knee pillow so I am posting a picture. Updated on 24 Jun 2020: Healing nicely. There is a lot of drainage bruising, but this is mostly not actual bruising and does not hurt. Everything on my legs, side hips, and forearms is just for show, there’s no pain in those areas. The smaller bruises around my abs and biceps are painful, but not nearly as impressive looking as the decorative ones elsewhere. I’m feeling better and moving around more, but still get tired quickly. My belly button started to drain a little, so now I’m putting a small piece of gauze and some tape on it after it dries from a shower.

I am so excited I saw Helen K today! I am very picky about who touches my face and I haven’t seen anyone since Helen left Devenir Aesthetics. So I was ecstatic to learn she joined Dr. Andre Levesque’s plastic surgery office and I just got back from having Botox. As always, Helen was amazing. It didn’t hurt one bit (and I am not a fan of needles), always double checked where she was injecting and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I am super excited to get rid of these wrinkles again! Thank you Helen – you are the best ever!

I cannot express enough how impressed I am with Dr. Levesque. I first met with him in August to discuss a surgery and he answered all of my questions plus gave me additional information I hadn't thought of. I did go see two other surgeons to do my due diligence. After seeing all three, hands down Dr. Levesque was my favorite. He was very honest, didn't try to "up sell me", personable and it was obvious he was extremely caring about his patients. Fast forward to my surgery date in December (I needed to schedule it in December for personal reasons) and Dr. Levesque didn't skip a beat addressing all of my pre-op questions and trust me, I came in with a list of them! The day of my surgery I was kind of nervous and Dr. Levesque's bedside manner was most impressive. He ensured I was well taken care of and I felt comfortable. After surgery once I was at home, (it was a Friday) he called in the afternoon to make sure I was doing okay. He also called on Saturday and Sunday to check in on me. At my first post-op appointment he was very diligent on checking all of my incisions, addressing all of my questions, and making sure I was feeling okay. In between my post-op appointments I had a few questions and each time I sent an email he responded within minutes. Even if I indicated it wasn't an urgent issue and I was just inquiring. Overall, his dedication to his patients, bedside manner, his up to date surgery techniques, etc are completely stellar. I have recommended others to see him and one of my friends also choose to go with Dr. Levesque for a procedure which turned out amazing also! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Levesque and I wouldn't dream about seeing another plastic surgeon. I am 6 weeks post op and my results are amazing and they just continue to get better each day. Thank you Dr. Levesque!

Though I was somewhat apprehensive about taking this step, Dr. Levesque's friendly and professional manner put me at ease immediately. He met with me ahead of time to patiently explain what to expect at every step in the process and kept me engaged and relaxed throughout the procedure. I am pleased with my results and highly recommend Dr. Levesque and his staff at Devenir.

Dr. Levesque is a stellar doctor. He is thorough, attentive, and knowledgeable. He provides information and statistics beneficial to the procedure. I had breast augmentation done on a Friday and was mobile within 48 hours. The pain was minimal compared to what I had anticipated. I have waited almost a year before posting my review. No complications and happy with my results.

What a fabulous experience! Being that it was my first time to have my lips injected with filler, I was most comfortable with Dr. Levesque and his staff. Dr. Levesque answered all of my questions and was very patient with me. Dr. Levesque's demeanor is very easy-going, and yet he is very knowledgeable and perceptive. He provided a thorough description as to where the injections sites would be and the advantage of their placement. WOW! I love the results! My lips are fuller and look very natural. People truly notice my lips, but they don't know!

Dr. Levesque is an awesome surgeon! He has performed both cosmetic procedures (neck and face lift, fat transfer) as well as reconstruction/wound closure following excision of cancer on my nose by another provider. I could not be more pleased with the results! A clinician with finely honed surgical skills, Dr. Levesque has an artist's eye and sense of symmetry and proportion that is necessary to achieve the best result for an individual. He starts with an interview and medical assessment to develop a plan together that best accommodates the patient's goals. He outlines what to expect during and following the procedure. After the surgery and the patient is back home, he personally calls to follow up. He makes himself accessible. The front office, medical staff and aestheticians are super. It is great to be in a facility where staff work as a team and personally enjoy and respect the patients as well as each other.

Dr. Levesque takes time with his consultations, explaining in detail the effects of treatment, possible side effects, temporary, short-term and long-term results. He made certain I understood everything, and he was willingly to answer hundreds of questions, patiently, to address my concerns. Additionally, his work was subtle, and my treatment didn't look artificial, a truly natural look. Results were terrific. Paired with excellent knowledgeable staff, I strongly recommend his practice.
