Ruined my nose

by jkboscamp

I wish I had read these comments before I ever went to Dr. Mentz. First of all, on my intial consult I waited three hours, then 6k later, he made a mess of my nose. To top it off, I had my nose done before my wedding so I looked like some sort of freak in my pictures.

When the first bandages came off, it was a gasp...my nose was sunken in on the sides like some kind of Micheal Jackson nightmare, my mother was sick and about to cry, but trying not to scare me. Then after a year of useless steroid shots in the nose, (he said would make it "open" back up), the tip now has a ball on it, I NEVER had before and it is crooked where it wasn't before (it is still sunken in on one side after all those shots). I went back all those times, but he just acted like it would get better over time. What makes me the most angry and upset is that this was something he knows is NOT right and if I hadn't come back in all those times, he would have left it the was it was right after the bandages came off. I finally have just given up. He just sashays in and out of the room and is never on time and doesnt give a damn. A word to the wise and hind site being twenty twenty..... Please do not use this Dr. if you need a nose job or just EVER at all! Oh and I also have some sort of strange indention bruise thing between my eye he put there!!!

• Pros: Flowers after the surgery
• Cons: Unfriendly staff and terrible results

Horrible Work--looked better before work was done

by bayoublanc

Since my surgery 3 months ago, my life has changed tremendously. When entering Dr. Mentz's office, you get the feel from the luxnurious surroundings, the seeminly caring staff, and Dr. Mentz himself that you are in good hands. It is so misleading for the quality of work that he performs. My face was ruined by him, and I was a good looking lady prior to my surgery. If he can't perform this work he advertises, then he should not be able to earn money by harming and disfiguring innocent people/victims. There should be some law against this kind of practice. I will never be the same. I have been a virtual hermit since he performed the surgery because I am so embarrassed and humiliated by the way I look. I am sure I could get him to try to correct some of it, but would you be willing to do that if he disfigured you so badly the first go round? He, his office, and his staff are all very deceiving. Anybody who has to advertise on Good Morning America commercials to get business should raise eyebrows (figuratively speaking). I am so sorry that I am not from Houston to get the word of mouth reviews about plastic surgeons. It is my hope that he write doctoral papers, teach somewhere, but get out of the business of disfiguring people. I would not be deceived by the good reviews because it is my guess, that Lupe wrote them. I've been to 3 other plastic surgeons for repair work, and ALL of them get his work to clean up. Be glad you had lipo done on your stomach because you can at least cover it up. Can't cover up your face.

Not too happy at the moment

by Levated

Dr. Mentz messed my face and legs up......my face has been fixed thank god but now I am waiting to see what he does about my leg. If it is fixed and looks normal again I will be back here singing his praises but right now I am very unhappy and don't feel like he is taking my situation serious. I can't seem to get his staff to return my calls or get any face time with Dr. Mentz and I paid a lot of money and have serious corrections that need to be made. Be careful in consultation to ask and demand that you will be able to see and speak with your Doctor post-op whomever you see. I am feeling like a number in a plastic surgery factory like the before comment. Not happy.

• Pros: The most amazing before/after photos on the websites
• Cons: No real face time with the Doctor post-op!
