Austin Plastic Surgeon - San Antonio

I went to Dr. Weinfeld for a facial fat transfer about 5 weeks ago! I highly recommend this doctor & procedure. After several years of graduate school, too many hot Pilates sessions, and a history of anorexia, I felt that my facial fat was depleted and made me look a bit unhealthy.

He added fat to the areas I was most concerned with, my temples and my cheeks. It looks balanced and natural. Although my final results are not yet ascertainable, since it takes several months for the newly placed fat to either assimilate or resorb, im happy with my results so far!

Healing process was a bit intense but I’m sensitive to pain and swell easily.

Tomorrow is surgery day!
I was feeling a bit nervous last night thinking about it all.
I’ve attached a few wish pics — I’m hoping for a natural, full look that fits my body well, nothing too big.

Sending myself some positive energy
Wishing for a smooth surgery tomorrow!
I’ll keep updating my healing journey...

Yesterday I had my breast augmentation surgery — went under anesthesia, took a nap, and woke up feeling like two mountains were sitting on my chest (Both sides: Motiva 265cc).

Surprisingly, not much pain at all, but upper body movement is pretty limited. I need help getting up, and I’ll be sleeping upright like a vampire for the next two weeks

On the bright side — my appetite came back strong! I ate a full meal and even snacked on bananas, cherries, and tomatoes. Also slept like a baby last night

Let the healing journey begin!
I’ll keep updating here~

It’s been 2 days since my surgery — my chest still feels super firm, like two solid rocks. Really hoping they’ll soften up soon!

I’ve been taking my pain meds as prescribed, and thankfully I haven’t felt any real pain so far.

I also bought a U-shaped pillow for sleeping upright more comfortably. And the ice packs I got when the swelling gets intense. So soothing!

One step at a time — healing in progress!

Today has been the most comfortable day so far! I was able to get out of bed on my own and even pick up water bottle without that sore, pulling feeling in my chest muscles — a small but exciting win!

I also ordered a really comfy post-surgery bra from Amazon and it's been such a relief to wear — supportive but not too tight.

That said, my chest still feels very tight and firm, and I can’t walk around for too long without feeling pressure or discomfort in my chest.

Saw my surgeon today and he said everything is healing beautifully. From now on, I need to stay more active — walking around every day.

The good news is I can finally sleep flat on my back again, but I still need to wear my surgical bra 24/7. I can switch to sports bra now,.

I’ve also started doing massages daily and applying scar cream. The surgical glue on my incisions hasn’t fully come off yet, but the doctor said I can gently wipe it away now.

Overall, I feel pretty good — no real pain, just a slight heavy feeling when I take the bra off. Still waiting for the implants to fully drop and the swelling to go down.

I’ve had a breast lift/augmentation as well as a BBL and J plasma on my abdomen all done by Dr. Franco and have been happy with every single procedure. He really listened to what I wanted and was very realistic about expectations. He is also a very warm and kind person. I would highly recommend him for all your plastic surgery needs!!

Dr. A made me feel really comfortable and was extremely professional and caring. The procedure was quick, and while it definitely hurt (at least the numbing part did) I honestly regret nothing at all. This has changed my life dramatically. I did not realize how bad it used to be until I saw before and after pictures, and now it looks just like my other nipple. The only 'bad thing' is the scarring; I have basically 4 white crosses around my nipple where the incisions were, but I will see if I can get those tattooed to the right color if they don't get any pigment back (I'm about 4 months post-op right now). It was worth it.

Dr Franco is an amazing doctor and a true artist- scientist! I had a smile cut breast lift with Alloclae enhancement, Quantum RF with Insta lift threads to the area above the knee and thighs and Quantum RF to the arms, all done under local anesthesia! The procedure lasted four hours, during which, he was constantly reassuring and comforting me by providing updates of the various steps. What impressed me was his thoroughness, focus and attention to detail throughout the surgery and his smooth and calm communication with his excellent team of the three nurses present. My recovery was really fast and I hardly used any painkillers apart from the first day. The results were even more impressive! I cannot believe how tight my thighs look and I love love my new breast shape!

Dr. Arredondo provided a superior consultation compared to any other doctor I saw. He seemed genuinely nice and passionate about his work. His staff was great from the scheduling to the office visits and then the pre and post op guidance. I was so anxious about surgery, but I felt so much better after talking to him. I went in with realistic expectations, not expecting perfection, just wanted to get rid of my stomach fat without a tummy tuck. I chose lipo 360 and Renuvion, and three weeks later, I'm thrilled! Even with major swelling I'm already satisfied. No pain at all. Nurse Amy was amazing, super helpful with everything before and after surgery, and if I have any questions, I just message the app and someone gets back to me right away. While less expensive options exist locally, the superior quality of care justifies the investment. I wish my insurance would allow me to use him for my breast reduction because I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable using anyone else for future procedures.

If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further than Dr. Johnny Franco. I had an amazing experience getting my breast augmentation done with him. He’s incredibly patient, professional, and truly listened to what I wanted. The recovery was smooth, and my breasts already feel like a natural part of my body. We had multiple check-ins before and after surgery to make sure everything went perfectly. I had been wanting this for years but was always scared — Dr. Franco made the whole process feel easy and safe. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

I recently had my hip dips filled with Alloclae by Dr. Franco, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! As someone who is very active and in the gym often, body contour has always been important to me and this procedure gave me the smooth, feminine curves I’ve always wanted. The boost in confidence has been incredible.
From the moment I walked into the office, Dr. Franco and his surgical team made me feel completely comfortable. They explained everything clearly and made the entire process quick, easy, and stress-free. The recovery was surprisingly fast. I experienced little to no pain and was back to my routine in no time!
If you’re considering body contouring or hip dip correction, I highly recommend Dr. Franco and his amazing team. Their professionalism, skill, and patient care are unmatched. This experience has been amazing!

I recently had a surgery consult with Dr. Franco, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by his warm and friendly staff, who made me feel comfortable right away.

Dr. Franco is not only incredibly kind and genuine, but he is also extremely knowledgable. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, provide clear answers to my questions, and thoroughly explain my options for addressing them.

What really stood out to me was not just his expertise and incredible results, but his genuine care for his patients. It's clear he truly cares about delivering the best results for each individual.

I highly recommend Dr. Franco to anyone considering plastic surgery. His talent, kindness, and the welcoming atmosphere created by him and his staff truly set him apart.

My experience was amazing! I was a skinny shot patient and lost a lot of weight. I had some skin laxity on my neck and my face was still very round. I had a consult for Myellevate and I felt like it was the right procedure for me. I moved forward with Myellevate energized which included Jplasma and I added on buccal fat removal. The procedure was done with local anesthesia and I was very comfortable. Dr.Franco would check in with me to make sure I was comfortable and didn’t feel any pain. The procedure lasted about 2.5 hours. He played music and talked to me throughout the procedure and this made me less nervous. Everyone was super friendly and kind. I would highly recommend him! I went back the next day for my follow up and I was amazed by the result and it hadn’t even been 24 hours. If you’re considering this procedure please do it! You’re in good hands!
