my most recent visit was really discouraging and quite unprofessional. I was told for a 4th surgery that I would need something done that has already been done from the 2nd surgery.. meaning my chart was not referred to. After 3 surgeries (a simple breast augmentation at 18 y/o going from a 32 A cup to now a double D and D cup.. when I know I asked for a C) and not fixing the problem, as well as being told it would be at no charge and I ended up paying an extra $2,000 for a "better" implant with the hope that it would help the major issue (pretty sure that's what Dr. Nuveen had suggested) and then paying for a nipple reduction which should have been waived because it's not corrected at all! (it's way worse with the scarring and with the future work/money I'll have to have done on it) I would have to say that this is hopeless and a huge loss of my time and money. Even with being given a complimentary lotion to help my scars that values around $40-$60 it doesn't make up or come close to the huge lack of confidence, lack of trust, and lack of respect from this practice. At this point, with all the things I've been falsely told by his staff and himself personally, I would never recommend this practice. Go to someone that is certified through the board of American Society of Plastic Surgeons (do your research!) I'm not the only person that has had bad results from this practice and I'm really upset at this point with the constant pain and irritation I have, and the total amount of money I have spent on 3 separate surgeries, doctor visits, pain meds, vitamins, and visiting other surgeons to find out how to correct this. He will botch you. I promise it is worth driving to Dallas and finding a surgeon versus going to this guy.

* He also made a claim on a Facebook review that "There is no single surgeon in this region of the world that has the education, experience and proper training in cosmetic breast surgery as I do." He isn't professional, and he gets people that can "afford" a first time surgery in or that don't do proper research to find he isn't a plastic surgeon (he's cosmetic - there's a difference!) and he tells them how high and mighty he is, and how he has done 1,000 surgeries.. but the real question is, how many out of those 1,000 has he BOTCHED?! I'm one, that's a fact.

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this... That is ridiculous thank you for warning others seeking augmentation... Is he board certified? If so I would think you could bring your case up to the board and that would look very bad in his reputation to have done this a kept charging you to "fix" his own mistakes!

He is Certified through the American board of cosmetic surgery. Big difference between cosmetic and plastic. Never forget that!

Hi, I totally agreed with you. If you look at my posts on here. Dr. Nuveen messed up my eyes. He never told me how high my creases would be even when I asked during consultation. He acted like he knew exactly what I wanted or what he was doing. He botched my eyes and when I complained to his nurse I wS informed that my results were good and any other concern must be addressed in person. I drove 5 hours to get my eyes done a d now they are ruined. I been so depressed lately, but I am hopeful that there is a specialist out there who can fix what he did. I am emotionally scarred by this experience and will never let him touch my eyes again. He's all about the money only. He doesn't even care about what his patient thinks. After my surgery I was dumped in my mom's car without even seeing him. For the follow up no one called me - I had to be the one who contacted them with concerns. I Highly Agree AND Do Not recommend him to anyone.

Your story is A complete replica of my experience w/ Dr. Nuveen. Went to Dr. Nuveen because my girlfriend had hers done by him and they looked great ( in her clothes)! Going in for my consult I was very pleased & impressed w/ his confidence, staff & facility( Dr Nuveen is very DREAMY but don’t let his charm help make your decision) Immediately after my 1st surgery it was very apparent that my left breast was a much higher & smaller than the right. At my follow up he recommended some exercises and sent me home. To my disappointment nothing changed so he offered free of charge to schedule my 2nd surgery which AGAIN it was IMMEDIATELY apparent that it ALSO was not a success so at the 3rd consult we rescheduled the 3rd surgery which resulted in the WORST result so far, by now I was just desperate, insecure & EXTREMLY DEPRESSED so to MY STUPIDITY I took him up on the 4th surgery ( at no charge which is most definitely the ONLY reason I agreed), BAD, BAD STUPID CHOICE!! After the fourth surgery on the same breast, ended in the worst one yet!! . I finally smartened up and went to Dr.Love ( which when I called & requested all my paperwork & pics Dr. Nuveen office charged me $$ per page, YES!! After for filled surgeries he’s charging me for my own paperwork ) & after Dr.Loves 1st correction surgery he made me 98.9% perfect. My breast are great now with the exception of the 6 inch scar under my left breast . I should’ve spoke up sooner because I had a girlfriend go in to Dr. Nuveen for at tummy tuck & after 3 weeks she was left w/ A 1inch hole in her stomach where you could see her intestines!!
