Steve Byrd, MD (retired)

This amazing surgeon has a passion and a skill for performing Otoplasty. I was referred to this dedicated surgeon by Dr. Hubbard, Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. Upon meeting Dr. Byrd, I was felt very comfortable and was impressed by his knowledge and interest in my ears. I am not easy to impress in consultation. He is an excellent educator about deficiencies/ deformities of the ear and explained everything that would go on during the operation and the first few days after. My ears actually had many more deformities / deficiencies than I thought. I just knew I two asymmetrical ears and that one protruded more than the other. I knew the lobes certainly were not beautiful and that the tops were not perfectly rounded. Dr. Byrd did not even stop there...he showed me what he plan to correct on my entire ear and it was a lot. My right ear was very complicated. It felt great to be a patient, instead of having to ask a million questions and beg for additional things to be enhanced. You do not have to ask many questions during consult with Dr. Byrd because everything will be fully explained in detail. Dr. Byrd is a bit of a perfectionist. His staff are extremely nice, especially Cecilia. Cecilia has responded to everything by phone, text, or email. I developed a slight infection in the stitch area in my right ear (required more work) after I returned home (8 days post-op). I suppose I suspected something was wrong 2 weeks post op. Cecilia and Dr. Byrd were on top of everything (response, instructions, medications) within hours. Dr.Byrd and Cecilia have continued to monitor my progress. My motivation for this procedure was I am tired of hiding my ears with my hair and just desire to wear my hair up. You can not wash your hair because you will be wearing special molds for your hair but don’t worry the OR staff actually made mine look cute and I used dry shampoo and pins / clips if it fell (day 5/6). You can shower with the water proof headband (pink band in photos). You will need to wear it most all of the time but it’s so worth it. I requested a handicap room so I could have a hand held shower. The procedure is a little uncomfortable depending on the amount of work you have done. However the pain is nothing compared to breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and especially revisions. My left ear did not hurt as much as the right (more extensive work). Overall It feels so nice to have normal ears. I am exceptionally happy with the outcome of my procedure and appreciate the time and energy that Dr. Byrd invested into the consultation, surgery, and after care. I am happy to hear that Dr. Byrd is considering to continue to do Otoplasty and the Ear Well if he decide to retire.

Wonderful procedure. Excellent staff! Highly recommend him. Staff very knowledgeable and patient. Staff was always available and quick to respond to any and all questions. Everyone was very friendly and caring. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in through the doors.

After a traumatic ATV accident at age 17, I lucked into Dr. Byrd. From the beginning, my family and I knew his care was right where I needed to be! Dr. Byrd and his team reconstructed the entire left side of my face and have perfected my appearance over a series of surgeries and procedures. He has fulfilled my wishes of feeling like I am my normal self again, and I'm forever grateful for him and his wonderful staff. They have gone above and beyond for me and made an uneasy situation feel like the red-carpet treatment from start to finish. Dr. Byrd has even met with my parents and I at the clinic after business hours late at night. He truly is my angel, and I would absolutely never trust anyone else for reconstructive or cosmetic procedures! He is the best of the best, and I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't been fortunate enough to meet Dr. Byrd and his staff.

Dr. Byrd is a great surgeon and the result of whatever procedure you are have done will be very natural looking. He and his staff are extremely personable and very professional. They take as much time as you need to explain everything and to make the process go as smoothly as possible. I am very pleased with what I had done.

Dr. Byrd has a incredible artistic genius that he uses when he molds your face and body. Plus he has a God given desire to do the best he possibly can because it pleases him to help others. Dr. Steve Byrd exhibits world class professionalism, incredible compassion, and cutting edge techniques that will make you look better than you ever thought possible.

Dr Byrd did a great job on my face - it looks like me, only better. Friends I've told can't believe I've had surgery, only saying I look natural & great. These are very honest friends, not one's who say what you want to hear. One is an aesthetician and opposed to surgery etc for herself but she was very impressed. I'm still getting used to my breasts - from an A to what seems to be a large C or D. Everyone (especially my husband) that knows about the surgery thinks they look great but it's a shock. I'm happy there were no problems. I'd recommend Dr Byrd to anyone - he's no spring chicken so if you want surgery, do it now before he retires.

I had breast implants done by Dr. Byrd. I was very particular about what I wanted and how I wanted them to look. Being a mother of two and 42 years old, I did not want my breasts to be the first thing people noticed about me. I wanted implants to balance out and compliment my overall body shape. I explained to Dr. Byrd that I wanted very natural looking breasts that fit my body type, showed him photos of breast implants I liked and did not like. He listened to everything I said and knew exactly what I was looking for. I did not have a specific breast size in mind, I felt very confident leaving the decision on the size of my implants to Dr. Byrd. He did a wonderful job giving me exactly what I wanted! I could not be happier, I love the work he did! I have so much more confidence than I have ever had. He and his staff are very professional and I felt very well taken care of. I chose Dr. Byrd based on his years of experience and all of the wonderful reviews from his patients. They are well deserved, I highly recommend Dr. Byrd.

Wife did it first and had a really first-rate experience in all aspects. After I was mugged, got my nose broken with a lead pipe, and spent the night in the emergency room, I decided to give it a try also. Completely restored my face, while also making me look 20 years younger. Best money ever spent Updated on 28 Sep 2014:

I came to Dr. Byrd at 19 for my initial breast augmentation. Had a wonderful experience with him. Was super happy about my results. Since then My body has changed a bit haha. I've gained weight and had a child. I waited 9 years to get them replaced. I wanted to go little bigger since I had gained weight. It's always hard finding a doctor. Choosing Dr.Byrd was a no brainer for me. Again blown away with the results and how great Dr. Byrd and his staff are. Hope this helps anyone out there looking for the best doctor.

I have wanted a full face lift for at least 10 years because I had damaged some of my skin on my face and neck in my 20's. I am physically fit so this completes the picture I think. My gynecologist here in Waco recommended Dr. Byrd as he had researched plastic surgeons around the state as his wife was wanting a some type of plastic surgery. After reading Dr. Byrd's website I made a decision to go for an evaluation. Quickly after the evaluation visit my husband and I decided to go forward with the procedure.
