San Antonio Plastic Surgery Institute

Thank you so much for your amazing work and fabulously LOW tummy tuck scars! Very happy with my care.

Dr Decherd has done amazing work, I am recovering from my mommy make over right now and even though I am not fully recovered yet I love love love my results. I had to wait for my consult but once I did I had a wonderful experience with the nurses, front staff and Dr Dechard. The day of my surgery the nurses had the best bedside manner and help me feel at ease, they were very clear on after care instructions to my husband. I could not recommend them enough! I did have other consults before choosing Dechard and none of them gave me a good fuzzy feeling. If I ever need anything else I'm coming only to Dr Dechard !!!

My experience with Dr Decherd and his team has been amazing. No major complications with my MMO and if I feel I need to be seen they get me right in. Dr Decherd, Heather, Kelsey and Sarah have all really helped me a lot through my journey and have shown great customer service. The front desk shows that customer service as well (I can't forget to mention them). Hands down Dr Decherd!

I recently got a breast augmentation in dec. 2021. The staff were all very caring and gentle. They made me feel comfortable and educated me on the post op care as well as pre-op. They were easy to reach anytime i had a question. In addition to the hospitality of the team, I love the results :). Dr.Decherd was very professional and informative, he did an amazing job. I have wanted to have this procedure for a long time and I am grateful I heard of his practice. My breasts, for lack of better words, are a 10/10 hahah.

Almost a year later, without a doubt, Dr. Decherd changed my life. After a 50 lb weight lost, and 30 lbs a couple years before that, my body was a wreck, an unrecoverable wreck.
Dr. Decherd was recommended by my GP, and I can't thank her enough. With Dr. Decherd, you will find all the qualities you are looking for when considering plastic surgery. First, he is an ethical and decent human being. He is not there to upsale you, and get you to have surgery that really doesn't deliver the bang for the buck.
Dr. Decherd is very careful to manage your expectations. I'm an older woman. He was honest about what my results would look like. I was not going to walk out of surgery looking like I was 24. But my results were better than I had hoped for. I looked the best I could imagine. Better than expected. Years of obesity were wiped away. I don't care what anyone says, I know, you cannot exercise away loose and saggy skin. I tried.
I had a lot of procedures done. Dr. Decherd took time to evaluate me based on my age, general health, and giving me recovery information so we could come to a safe and mutual plan. His surgery center is in the same building as his office. It is immaculate, the staff well trained and caring, and I was well attended to. I had all the information I needed to know; what to expect during recovery. Before the surgery, I had all the meds I would need. The office and staff are very well run. They have their processes down. That makes a huge difference. You don't want to deal with people who don't care when you're having surgery. Everyone you talk to will care.
I had the following surgeries, spread out over 3 surgeries, in 3 consecutive months. They were: tummy tuck and breast lift. Then lower face lift, neck lift, eyes, and skin reduction on my arms (you know, the wings?) Last surgery was skin reduction on my inner thighs. On the last surgery, I had a bit of revision to my eyes. It was no problem.
What I loved, and had a hard time believing is, he cares that you are satisfied, really. The revision to my eyes was no problem, no extra cost. You also have lots of follow up visits to check your progress, and ask all the questions you will have about how your recovery is going. We all want instant results, and here is another instance of Dr. Decherd being very good at managing expectations.
So it's been 9-1/2 months since the first surgery. I am having the time of my life with my new body. The most profound changes are my super flat stomach and the chin lift. Holy smokes, I wore a two piece bathing suit all this summer. (And I looked hot.) Honestly, it all came together. I feel confident wearing shorts, bathing suits, and clothes that accentuate, not hide, my body. My arms fit in blouses and my legs in pants. I can even go without a bra should I choose too. I don't have to try and adjust my chin and neck position trying to hid the layers of loose skin, when taking pictures. This is the first time in my life, since I was 15 y/o, that my body is not stopping me from joining in whatever activities and social situations I come into. This is freedom.
Look at Dr. Decherd's before and after. That should convince you of his skills. Read the comments on this page. He is a talented and kind doctor.

Dr Decherd and his staff are amazing! I had a mommy makeover and the results exceeded my expectations. They really care for there patients, any time I had a concern or problem they quickly addressed it. I highly recommend this facility!

All I have to say is this man changed my life ... best best best ... I am a registered nurse and completely satisfied with my results ... I have referred several friends and clients and they have all been impressed with him ...
Heather , Monica , Kelsey and staff are amazing ...

I'm so happy to be writing this review because my results are far better than I was imagining. I scheduled a consult last December with the PA to sort of fast track things and saw the Dr in February and surgery the beginning of May. I had my old implants removed and replaced, breast revision, and lipo of chin and arms and I couldnt be any more thrilled with the results. I changed my mind several times about the size of implants (afraid of going too big) but the office never made me feel like I was a bother or high maintenance-- everyone, Dr. included, was very patient and informative and i never felt pressured to make a decision on anything immediately. Everything from the initial scheduling to payment to surgery and post op care was easy breezy. The OR girls are so fun and sweet as can be and made sure I was comfortable at all times. Dr. Decherd is on his A game and makes it all look easy even when its not. I had a few other consults with surgeons and knew before I left My consult with the Dr I'd be scheduling with him- it just felt right. I researched extensively, and I suggest everyone do that, but can also confidently recommend Dr. D and his staff. This wasn't my first rodeo but it was my best :)

Loved, loved, loved the staff at Dr. Decherd! I shopped around with so many plastic surgeons for my first breast augmentation and so glad I chose him! He was great and made the whole process smooth and comfortable. Would definitely recommend him for any surgeries!

Dr. Decherd did my rhinoplasty over 13yrs ago, he did outstanding reconstruction surgery, I highly recommend, to this day I have no issues and it still looks perfect.
