Reviews for Dallas, TX Plastic Surgeon Dr. Phillip Dauwe Liposuction Procedures

Where do I start..my surgery was on July 19, 2023. Still in recovery currently as I did breast aug, tummy tuck and liposuction in multiple areas - 5.5h-6h surgery time. I can tell you this: next day after surgery I could lift my hands like nothing happened (feeling like you did more push-ups than you should, some soreness sure but that’s expected!) After 1.5 weeks I was already full force working visiting construction sites (I run my own business), and 2 weeks later from surgery day - I can pretty much do anything (following doctor’s “what you can and cannot do at this stage”). Recovery was EASY, pain - what pain? I had once sciatica on both legs due to over lifting weight at the gym and THAT was worse lol I am EXTREMELY happy with Dr. Dauwe. The entire process starting from me coming in for a consultation until now was simply amazing. Doctor was very reassuring and give his honest opinion based on my goals, I fully trusted and cannot be happier. So if you are considering (but scared and yes, there are many plastic surgeons out there), I would highly recommend to book a consultation with Dr Dauwe. His team is amazing, always there to answer any questions and very supportive (it’s just an amazing wholesome experience) More

Dr Dauwe did a lower face and neck lift on me in February of 2023. I had the best experience from the consult where he suggested that I get fat injections in my cheeks( using my own fat that he liposuctioned from my belly) in addition to the lift. I am so pleased that I took his advice. All my fine lines in my cheek area are gone.. I did not even bruise and had no real pain to speak of. My neck looks amazing!! I highly recommend him. His entire staff is friendly and professional. Thank you for making me look 20 years younger!! More

Dr. Dauwe is Dallas’ Best PS! I started going to Dr. Dauwe’s office a year ago (November 2021) to see Tessa Thornton for Botox. My daughter is 5 years old. My stomach never returned to its former glory after having her which gave me a sense of body dysmophia I have never experienced. I’m naturally a slender person with a fast metabolism and while I do workout I have never had to work at being thin. No matter what I tried after pregnancy I just couldn’t get rid of my pooch or c-section shelf. While waiting for Tessa, I noticed so many happy patients come and go in the waiting room. This got me thinking more and more about doing something to rectify my stomach woes. During one of my Botox appointments I spoke with Dr. Dauwe’s nurse, Julie. She is amazing and assured me I was a great candidate for a tummy tuck. She answered several of my preliminary questions and encouraged me to schedule a consultation. Enter Dr. Dauwe…I went for my consultation and was blown away by his humility, knowledge, and kindness. Dr. Dauwe has a calming confident demeanor. For me, it’s about a vibe or if I click with someone in addition to their competence. Dr. Dauwe immediately assessed that he could address my needs and achieve my desired results. He suggested abdominoplasty and liposuction to my flanks. He recognized that I had a congenital umbilical hernia which he could resolve during the procedure as well. Let me just tell you his compassionate bedside manner is bar none and he is also efficient! My consultation was in July 2022 and during that appointment I scheduled my procedure for December 13th 2022. The pre op appointment was valuable and his superb staff helped me prepare for the “what to expect” before during and after surgery. I couldn’t wait for the day to be here. The day of surgery I arrived at the Baylor surgery center one hour before my procedure. They took me back and the team there was delightful. I could tell I was in the best hands. His anesthesiologist, Dr. Amy Ripley, from Dallas Anesthesiology Associates was lovely, encouraging, and explained everything she was going to do during the procedure. Dr. Dauwe came in to see me, and once again proved I was entrusting the right physician for the job. He marked me up and we were off to the OR. I can’t put into words his precision and attentiveness. He has a gift. He wants you to have the best results possible and wants you to be happy. Today I saw Dr. Dauwe 9 days post op. My recovery has gone as expected. My pain was well managed and I’m already standing pretty straight. (This varies from patient to patient) I couldn’t help but tell him “thank you” and will remain grateful to him for giving me my confidence back! I feel like a new better version of myself. He took excellent care of me and I would recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery. I am thrilled with my results so far and know they will only get better from here on out! Also, his office is gorgeous! Love all of the David Yarrow art!!! Thank you, Dr. Dauwe, and to your incredible team! I feel so blessed! More

Amazing! Wow! Impressive! Exceeded expectations! Those are all words I’ve used to describe the results and the service my wife got from Dr. Dauwe & his staff. My wife got a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast reduction/lift from Dr. Dauwe. It was the best decision she could have made. From the moment we first called his office and spoke to Julie to the post op care we received from the nurse and the doctor, everything has been perfect. His front end staff made up of Julie, Sarah & Brie have been PHENOMENAL. Sarah, especially. This woman is simply amazing. She answered all our questions with a patience I had never encountered before in a medical setting. And let me tell you we had many-many questions as anyone going through this would be expected to have. This is no easy process but they made it so seem-less for us by being so kind and helpful. They literally held our hand as we navigated this process. We visited and considered several surgeons in different states and nobody came close when it came to service and results. Dr. Dauwe’s attention to detail and care for his patients is world class. He’s got a excellent bedside manners and truly cares for his patients. When you come to Dr. Dauwe you can expect a doctor that is meticulous and with high expectations for himself and the results he gives you. My wife and I could not be more grateful and happy to have chosen Dr. Dauwe. If you are reading this and are considering choosing Dr. Dauwe, do it. You will not be disappointed at the service and results you will receive from him and his staff. I truly hope that the gratitude I feel for Dr. Dauwe and his staff transcends this review and makes it your way. We are so lucky to have found this Doctor and this office. I hope you do too. Edit: The Anesthesiologist(I don’t remember her name) selected for the operation was amazing. She took really good care of my wife. My wife had low blood pressure and that anesthesiologist stayed with my wife from start to finish and didn’t leave until my wife was great. She too, was amazing. Fred R. More

Implant exchange and mastopexy, liposuction - Dr. Dauwe is amazing!! I had BA with another doctor in 2015, my implant was way too big for my chest wall, and I was never truly happy. After having my Tummy Tuck with Dr. Dauwe in July, I knew I wanted to have him fix my Breasts. I am so glad that I did!! My surgery was yesterday, February 26, 2021, at 3, I already LOVE my results. Dr. Dauwe and his team are amazing! He's so sweet, sincere, and has the best bedside manner. When you walk into his office you immediately feel comfortable it's truly like a family. I love everyone there! If you're looking for an amazing Cosmetic Surgeon, go see Dr. Dauwe, you will not be disappointed!

I went to Dr. Dauwe for a breast implant removal and a liposuction. I had under the muscle implants for about 7 years, and even though I didn’t have any issues, I was ready to remove them and get a more natural look. From my first contact with the staff, to the surgery, to every follow up appointment, Dr. Dauwe and his staff have been amazing. I visited several doctors before making my decision, and I’m really happy I used him. Dr. Dauwe didn’t use drains for the surgery, and that was great. They even accommodated the surgery date I requested, so I had surgery on Friday and I was back at work on Monday. I had lots of questions before surgery, and Dr. Dauwe and his staff listen to all my questions and put me at ease. My results are amazing, and I would definitely go back to Dr. Dauwe if I ever decide to get another procedure. I know their practice offers several different services. I’m currently using them for Coolsculpting. I really cannot say enough great things about Dr. Dauwe and his staff, and I highly recommend them. More

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Dr. Dauwe and his staff (Julie, Sara, the overnight nurse) everyone is so nice, professional and helpful.

He answered all my questions no matter what the question was ...lol He is simply amazing! More

Breast Lift and Implant Journey - After my initial consultation on May 9th with Dr Dauwe I found out I needed a lift and implants. I am 5' 2" and started as a 36C. I am 51 years old and have 2 grown children that I breastfeed. Dr Dauwe recommended no more than 360 cc's for my size and statute in order to get the best results. I originally thought I wanted to go larger but trusted his opinion. My surgery was an anchor lift that requires your incisions have time to heal before being stretched  if you get larger implants. I didn't want to have a 2nd procedure and was happy with the size Dr Dauwe selected for me. Also, I really appreciate Julie and Sarah in the front office. I can't say enough nice things about them. They help you every step of the way from scheduling appointments, answering questions to emailing paperwork and discussing cost of the procedure. Dr Dauwe and his staff have been so helpful through the entire process. They really make you feel special and at ease.Updated on 8 Oct 2018:Dr Dauwe does beautiful work. He is a true artist in my opinion. I am very pleased with the results I received. People that don't know that I had surgery ask if I have lost weight and tell me how great I look. I feel great and have a new gained confidence for sure. I am thankful I asked about removing the "bra fat" the morning of surgery and Dr Dauwe told me he could take care of that. I am so happy he did liposuction on my sides, it really made a huge difference. I am now a 36 to 38C cup and love it. Dr Dauwe gave me Natrelle Inspira moderate profile, round gel implants under the muscle. 345cc left and 330cc right. More

I recently underwent a liposuction and a thigh lift surgery at the Lemon Avenue Plastic Surgery and Laser center. The surgeon - Dr Dauwe was absolutely superb. Before the surgery, he discussed in detail as I had a lot of questions. He met with me 3-4 times and explained the procedure, benefits, recovery time and so on. He is very conservative and would not perform procedures if they did not achieve the results and/or if it was not needed. The surgical center was very well equipped and staffed. The patient coordinator - Mary was very easy to work with and very friendly. The surgery lasted 5-6 hours and the nurses and other staff were also very helpful. After the surgery, I stayed there until the next morning and I was very well taken care of. Post surgery, Dr Dauwe always checked on me and was available whenever I needed to reach him. After 2 weeks when my swelling subsided, I could definitely see the results and am very happy with my new look. Overall, I had a very good experience and I would definitely recommend Dr Dauwe. More

Dr. Dauwe is an amazingly talented, trustworthy and caring surgeon. He performed liposuction and a thigh lift on me a year and a half ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend him to my friends and everyone I meet!! More

I have always been active since my first child was born 18 years ago. I had been able to stay in pretty good shape until I turned 35. My hips and thighs would no longer respond to diet and exercise and then came the cellulite. As the years went by I would think about seeing a plastic surgeon but always talk myself out of it. Then one day I called Lemon ave. plastic surgery center and Mary ( patient coordinator) answered. She was so friendly, I instantly felt comfortable. Talk about first impressions. I told her my problem and she recommended Dr. Dauwe. When I first met him I was impressed with the attention he gave me and not once did I ever feel rushed. He made me feel like I was his only patient. He was straight up with me, he told me what he could do to help. He performed liposuction to my hips, thighs and abdomen. He did an amazing job. Words can't express how great of a job he did and how wonderful I feel about myself. The surgical team was excellent. The day of my procedure I went to sleep and woke up with a new body. I can't say enough about Dr. Dauwe, the office staff and surgical team but thank you for the new me. More

Outstanding physician - I have the great honor of knowing Phillip Dauwe, M.D. From his peaceful bedside manor to his outstanding surgical skills, he is top notch. For years I wanted a bilateral breast augmentation. Dr. Dauwe was worth the wait! I expected and got nothing less than excellence from him. His professionalism and artistry from start to finish was everything I imagined. Dr. Dauwe is kind, honest and knowledgable. My surgery consisted of breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction. Dr. Dauwe will always be my surgeon of choice!! More

38DDD, 175lbs, 5’3”, No Kids - I had my initial consultation with Dr. Dauwe on June 13, 2018. The breast reduction was submitted the same day to my insurance company. On June 26th I got the approval!!! So excited! My surgery is scheduled for the end of July, more to follow. Updated on 26 Jul 2018: I’m super excited to have my breast reduction surgery on Thursday, July 26th. I asked my surgeon about liposuction around the abdomen and flanks with butt injections. He recommended a tummy tuck, said with the extra tummy skin I would be happier with the TT. I’ve decided to postpone the TT for now. I’ve never had children, and I’m not sure if I will have kids. It was recommended I wait until after having kids for the TT. I’m just glad I’m getting the BR for now. Updated on 27 Jul 2018: Updated on 30 Jul 2018: Saw my surgeon today and he says everything looks great. Still swollen but it will go away. He recommended no underwire bras for 6 weeks so I’m sticking to sports bras. I’m so happy with my results. Almost 2lbs came off each breast and i literally feel the weight off my back. Updated on 3 Aug 2018: Swollen and bruised but moving around with tolerable pain. Doing things for myself, driving, cooking, crooked ponytails lol Updated on 8 Aug 2018: Swelling going down, surprised I’m not showing more bruising. Updated on 20 Aug 2018: I went in for my 3wk follow-up today. PS said I was healing well. I feel great except for he occasional nerve spike. PS I can workout lower body now. The Steri-Strips are starting to fall off. I have one wound that hasn’t fully scabbed so I’m covering it with dry gauze. More
