Reviews of Dallas Rhinoplasty Center (Plastic Surgery)

Alexis L.

I have suffered from medical and cosmetic defects of my nose almost all of my life and searched for the "perfect doctor" for many years. I was very concerned with finding a doctor that would not only correct the medical problems with my nose, but also adjust it to fit my face. I did not want someone else's nose, I wanted a nose that fit my face naturally. I found The Gunter Center based on their extraordinary use of technology within their practice. My consultation appointment consisted of a comprehensive image taken of my face and nose which was then manipulated by Dr. Cochran with my feedback. Dr. Cochran focused on making my nose proportionate to my face and then provided me with several images of what the surgery would leave me with. From consultation, to recovery, every step of this process has been wonderful. Dr. Cochran is not only an amazing doctor, his staff is also incredible. If ever I had a question, they were always quick to help. If you're thinking about having anything "done" to your nose - I highly recommend The Gunter Center. You will NOT be disappointed.

I don’t think there’s a better rhinoplasty surgeon anywhere. My nose is exactly what I wanted. Dr. Cochran “designed” it during consultation so I knew exactly what to expect. I traveled back and forth from Austin rather than take a chance on a plastic surgeon who might not get it right.

I had reconstructive surgery at the Dallas Rhinoplasy Center in 2005. They were excellent back then. Recently, I needed to get access to information for an upcoming surgery. Not only did they nurse Jane Dynis remember me but went to storage to get my records. She and the practice was very helpful in guiding me in my journey. Very ethical and honorable practice.

I had broken my nose during a high school softball practice. I was 18 at the time of the incident. My parents researched several plastic surgeons and I had reconstructive surgery several months after the incident. I developed MRSA Staph infection while at the hospital which led to my extended stay in the Baylor Downtown ICU. Several weeks and several surgeries later, the infection had cleared. During my stay at the hospital, I had to endure two central lines, scans, multiple surgeries and memories of the Chaplin preparing my parents for the worst. With MRSA being almost unheard of back in 1998 and the infection being so close to my brain, my "crooked" nose was the least of my worries. Once the infection cleared, I was so thankful. My nose did not look like it had prior to my surgeries and it did not have a "normal" look to it since the surgeries. After so much of the bone was removed in order to treat the Staph, I was left with an abnormal nose, aesthetically speaking, and more importantly I could barely breathe out of either nostril. Fourteen years passed and I had never considered having any additional work done to my nose because the aesthetics just didn't matter to me and over the years I had grown accustomed to the new look of my nose/face. However, I developed issues being able to sleep and was having difficulties functioning during the day due to the exhaustion. I had sleep tests done and sought after several professional opinions. The conclusion was clear. My nasal passages were almost completely blocked and as my bridge was practically non-existent, one side of my nostril had collapsed over the years. One side had 5% airway and the other had 2%. As the problem persisted, I began to consider having my nose fixed; however, after three separate consultations, I found that most surgeons would not take on my case due to the complexity and my past dealings with MRSA. We were recommended to Dr. Gunter by two other well-known plastic surgeons in Dallas. One in particular recommended Dr. Gunter enough to advise me that if he had a daughter facing similar issues, he would trust Dr. Gunter to help her. I went in for my initial consultation, met with Dr. Gunter, his staff and Dr. Cochran. A few weeks later, I had my surgery. Dr. Gunter performed the secondary rhinoplasty (correcting the previous damage and reopened my airways). Dr. Cochran performed the rib bone transplant (taking part of my rib and putting it in my nose to help rebuild the bridge that had been removed in 1998). The Gunter Center had me under close watch. They provided me with very strict pre-op instructions and went the extra mile to ensure contracting MRSA or any form of Staph would be highly unlikely. I stayed the night in the surgery center and was released the next day. Dr. Gunter’s staff called to check on me several times and when we had questions and needed to speak to Dr. Gunter, he was very quick to return our calls. I was scheduled to come in for several post-op visits (5-6), including my one year anniversary visit which just past in November 2012. Dr. Gunter’s nurses and staff, as well as the other surgeons, are very professional. They take time to answer your questions, understand your history and educate their patients. I would absolutely recommend The Gunter Center to anyone in need of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Gunter had a very good reputation, so I felt confident he would do a “good” job, but my results were far better than “good.” My nose looks amazing and more importantly, I can now breathe which has improved my overall quality of life. The Gunter Center is a very capable, professional, caring group and I highly recommend them. I give them a 10 out of 10/excellent status.

Had one of the worst experiences ever! It was a very aggressive surgery (which didn't need to be) with a very long recovery that led to an unsatisfactory result.

Thanks doctor for fixing my nose

Dr. Jack Gunter is one of the most respected names in the plastic surgery industry. He has a reputation for excellence and a long list of credentials, honors and accolades to prove it. I witnessed a room of fellow surgeons waiting to consult him on his rhinoplasty techniques. Clearly he is a innovator in his field and anyone considering this procedure would be in good hands.

I have been doing so much research in trying to find the "right" doctor for my operation. I was brought to Dr. Cochran from his stellar reputation and after my consult I can see why he has one!! He was amazing and so were the before and afters of some of his patients. He took so much time going over the all of the details and expectations from my surgery and most importantly made me feel completely comfortable. On top of having a fantastic surgeon, his staff was very informative and took their time in going over everything. I left their office very informed and confident I had found the "right" Dr. for me! If you are considering a rhinoplasty I don't think you could go wrong with this practice!

Dr. Cochran is very knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and I felt very comfortable trusting him with the surgery. I absolutely love my results! My nose has turned out exactly as I wanted!
