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.

Dr. Nuveen is really good at telling you how many surgeries he has performed and how many people travel to come see him. I find that hard to believe. I also want you to ask yourself, out of the many people he has seen, how many people do you think he has messed up that don't sit here and let you know with a review? He recently told me that he doesn't think any surgeon would have the same amount of knowledge as him to correct this problem. Here's the thing, I've been to two so far that have told me what should have been done and what needs to be done and it is nothing close to what Dr. Nuveen has ever suggested. For his 4th, yes, FOURTH surgery, he wants to perform a breast lift on my right side. My right side is the side with a massive scar on it, I refuse to let him even get near me at this point. He has destroyed my chest. It is very uncommon to have more than 2 surgeries when it comes to correcting something like I had go wrong. My right breast is so uncomfortable that it worries me for my future to breast feed a child and that is one big reason I am terrified of Dr. Nuveen and think he needs to stop what he is doing. He isn't certified through the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Do you realize that he went through another school that gives him a title to suggest he should be performing plastic surgery? Research the differences, and when you do, you will find that he didn't do residency like Plastic Surgeons and I truly feel like going to him when I did, I was just a practice trial for him. If you think you're saving money by going to him, stop what you're doing and realize that this is YOUR BODY. I have spent so much more money than I ever planned to receive low, low quality surgery on my body. Spend the extra $1,000 or drive the extra 2 hours to go to someone that is board certified, and preferably in Dallas if you're already looking for someone in OKC. He has destroyed so much for me and doesn't realize it. Don't let him BOTCH you!
