WORTH IT

Had a fantastic experience at Westlake Plastic Surgery (Austin Gynecomastia Center) 

Why did I choose Dr. Caridi? 



Dr. Caridi is a super sincere guy and based on my experience he really cares about his patients.



He is one of the most experienced gynecomastia surgeons in the world and is a leading expert on gynecomastia. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon.



His website and youtube channel are the go to resources for understanding gynecomastia surgery. With his youtube channel Dr. Caridi has made the surgery very transparent for those interested in getting the treatment; I felt very confident about the surgery before and after because I knew what to expect after following the channel.



Dr. Caridi offers a comprehensive solution for complete chest sculpting (meaning that all zones of gynecomastia are addressed during the treatment). When I researched other surgeons, I realized that some had a very limited view on what gynecomastia is and how to solve it. Dr. Caridi’s solution to me was comprehensive and would offer the sculpted chest results I was after. I would highly recommend checking out Dr. Caridi’s video on his different zones of gynecomastia. 

Even though Dr. Caridi is one of the leading experts in gynecomastia surgery his pricing was at a better price point then competitors I had looked into. Based on my research Dr. Caridi’s pricing was going to give me the highest quality treatment at the best price.



Day of surgery 



The facility was super clean and well organized. I can’t say enough good things about the staff at Westlake Plastic Surgery. Ana, Maria, Lacy, Javier, Carol, Sarah and Cherri were all super helpful and informative throughout the entire process. Everyone made me feel very welcome, comfortable and calm before the surgery.



Dr. James Wilson is Westlake Plastic Surgery’s board certified anesthesiologist. It was my first time having general anesthesia and I was bit nervous about it but it went very smoothly and I didn’t feel nauseous afterwards. Just a quick side note anesthesia - if you run across surgeons who will do this procedure under local anesthesia and tote it as a plus you might want to do some extra due diligence and figure out why that is – is the surgeon board-certified, is there facility certified, does their facility have a board-certified anesthesiologist.



After I saw the results I felt that the treatment was well worth it. In case you’d like more insight in the recovery process and what it involves I would highly recommend checking out Nurse Lacy’s video.



Overall experience at Westlake Plastic Surgery was fantastic. I would highly recommend it.

is this review real! ??
i had surgery by caridi last year with a bad cosmetic result!!
the surgery was badly done, poorly planned, rushed, asymmetric resulting in bad scar formation that is continuing to worsen. i suffered first degree thermal burns from poor use of the vaser, resulting in bad and uneven scar formation. i found him and lacey deceptive and misleading in his post op communication. he has yet to provide me with an honest and clear explanation for this bad oucome and more importantly he stopped answering my emails requesting advice about the ongoing management of all this progressive scar. at ths point, i regret having this surgery done by him.
