Mark Schusterman, MD, FACS

Dr. Schusterman and his staff are awesome! Very professional and attentive to the patient's needs. Procedure and recovery went extremely well, felt no pain, only slight discomfort. All of my concerns were taken care of. Rest assured that you will be in great hands! Already referred a friend and we are both very happy. more

Dr. Schusterman did my breast augmentation, tummy tuck with liposuction on March 22. The entire process was seamless from the time of consultation to post op visits. Of all the surgeons I saw for consultation, I can say that his staff was the most helpful, responsive, patient, caring, informative, from the receptionist to patient coordinator to the nurses, etc. This is an expensive procedure and is a big decision and having staff like this makes a huge difference. That being said... I love my result and of course, am continuing to improve daily. Dr. Schusterman's recommendation on implants was perfect and was not what I was originally thinking so trusting his judgment was a little scary but I love the size. He did an excellent job shaping my body with the lipo and tummy tuck, I had minimal time with the drains. The hospital staff was phenomenal at First Surgical and they even commented on how they could tell on drain output which surgeon had done the TT based on output etc. I am 44 and had always wanted to do this for myself... so thankful I did it!!! more

I have always had uber sensitive underarms. It's definitely controlled me during warm seasons. I can only shave my underarms once a week or else they will break out in pimple like bumps. During the summer I can't just throw on a tank top, or when I go work out, I have to wear a t shirt most of the time. I can wear a tank top maybe 2 times a week and it has to be very calculated, it has to be the day I shave and the day after only, I also could only wear shirts that were loose in the armpit area until I had at-least 4 days post shaving. So I decided to have laser hair removal treatment I had 6 session and now I am happy that now these hair did not irritate me and removes completely. more

Dr Schusterman did my Breast Augmentation. I have a problem with right side of breast, After treatments, Now i am feeling good and relax. more

I needed to get the breast uplift. Checked these guys out after some friends recommended. They are very cooperative, caring and the results were awesome! Thanks more

I know this goes back a bit, but believe it or not, it took 4 years for me to be able to talk about this...... more

My experience with Dr. S. was great! In all my years of searching for a world renowed doctor that had the knowledge and expertise I desired for my results, Dr. Schusterman was with a doubt my final choice, A Top Notch doctor! more

I was one of Dr Schusterman?s most challenging breast cases in his career. And in recognition, there are only two words that describe this unequivocally skilled breast surgeon? ?The Master? ... and I told him that!!!! more

As a senior citizen and male executive, who was aging gracefully, but aging none the less, (although with a youthful body, because of past athletics and continued weight training) and having to interact with men and women in the business world several decades younger than me, I decided to look into aesthetic surgery for my face and neck...I consulted with other prominent aesthetic surgeons before visiting with Dr. Mark Schusterman...he suggested a short-scar rhytidectomy (face-lift), lower-eyelid blepharoplasty (baggy eyes) and corset platysmaplasty (for jaw banding and sagging)...I researched his credentials and spoke with other physicians regarding his background...when I discovered he had been Chairman of Plastic Surgery, with exceptional skills in microsurgery and aesthetic surgery, at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, that, in itself, provided all the evidence I needed to know I would be in good hands. more

There is a new implant in town and it's in my lips. No more painful juvaderm injections for me! Recently Dr. Schusterman performed this quick, in office proceedure and all my friends want lips like mine. But here is the real skinny...it hurts a little, but not for long. I had my proceedure on a Friday and had an excuse to take it easy for the weekend. I took the oral pain medicine and applied ice on schedule for the first twenty four hours. I had some ""lip awareness"" but no real pain. By Monday I was back at work with lucious lips. This Dr. and his staff were delightful, professional, AND in fact, I think I will go back to fix a little of this and a little of that. Cons: THUMBS UP! more

I first saw Dr. Schusterman in 1990 for my first breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis, a modified mastectomy and radiation therapy. I could not be more happy with the results of my reconstruction. Dr. Schusterman has always been so pleasant to deal with and was so accessible to me as a new patient. I always had the opportunity to speak to him personally over the phone if I truly had concerns. Dr. Schusterman did wonderful work that has been complimented on by a number of doctors that I have seen through the years. All agree that it looks great and he did a superb job. I recently have developed a problem with the other breast and did not hesitate in calling Dr. Schusterman. He is presently in the process of reconstructing my second breast, using a different method from the first, but no less successful. I am confident that it will be as beautiful a result as the first. I have found that his staff is very accomodating and pleasant to deal with. I love this doctor and would very much recommend him to anyone. BRSchnell Pros: Altogether very positive experience. more

It's actually hard for me to put into words what an incredible experience I had with both Dr. Schusterman and his staff! I visited two other very credible doctors in the area before deciding to go with Dr. Schusterman and I'm so glad I did! I was incredibly impressed with his honesty and expertise and my results are AMAZING! Both pre and post op his staff was incredible. I must have called at least 10 times bugging them about medication and silly instructions like when I can begin exercising, (which I know they told me a million times before.) Every time I called the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend Dr. Schusterman to all my friends and family!! Pros: Doctor's experience and expertise. Warm and friendly staff! Cons: Can't think of any! more

I recently had a consultation with Dr. Schusterman for a breast lift and implant replacement. His bedside manner is great and his staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to have my surgery! While I was there I got a free skin care consultation at his medspa and had some Botox. I would definitely recommend him to my friends. Pros: Doctor and staff friendly and knowledgeable. more

Dr. Mark Schusterman is an amazing doctor! I couldn't be happier with my surgery. I will use him time and time again. His staff is very professional and makes sure you always feel comfortable. I Give Them 5 STARS!!! Pros: Everything more

I sought out a surgeon to help ""put me back together"" after my battle with breast cancer. I made the decision to have double mastectomies due to the high incidence of breast cancer in my family. I am still rather young and wanted to be sure I could recover my shape after removing my breasts. During my entire battle with cancer, I read and researched everything, every step of the way (procedures, risks, outcomes, how to pick a Dr, how to pick a treatment, what has the best survival rate, etc). All the leading books tell you to find a surgeon that is credible, has a strong reputation, extensive experience and a demeanor to support you in the last every step towards recovery. Dr Shusterman and his staff, especially Michele (his OR nurse) more than exceeded all of my expectations. Pros: Best surgeon for a wholistic approach to healing from cancer Cons: Parking - but they are moving to a new building soon! more

As a potential breast reconstruction patient, I consult ed with several doctors but consulted more than once with Dr. Shusterman. The magnitude of making the decision for this surgery coupled with choosing the right doctor could have been a mind-boggling experience. As I am 2 1/2 hrs. from Houston, I did not need to waste my time or anyone else's. However, I had such a great experience when I walked through the door of Dr. Shusterman's office on the first visit. The ladies of Dr. Shusterman's office went ""above and beyond""! After talking with him, I realized he was committed to excellence and would be meticulous in surgery. I, as the patient, would benefit greatly from that. Additional questions were handled by Michelle, his surgery nurse, who was patient and understanding. My results?...fabulous .....great ....awesome. ...fantastic! Yes, if anyone is considering surgery I think Dr. Shusterman would be an excellent choice! Pros: great job ....good surgeon Cons: Long wait for your car to return from valet parking more

I went to Dr. Mark Schusterman for a second opinion for a breast augmentation and I am so happy that I did. As I walked into his office I was greeted by the front office and was then brought back not too long after by the Patient Coordinator . By this time I felt very comfortable and relaxed as the doctor walked in. It seemed as if we made a connection and he made me feel very comfortable. He answered all my questions and I was very informed of the surgical procedure. After reviewing his website and finally meeting him I knew at that moment that he was the right doctor for me. I trusted his expertise and his staff was very pleasant. The financing process was made very easy for me and before I knew it I was set up and ready to go for surgery within a few weeks. My results are amazing and my husband is very thankful. I would highly recommend Dr. Mark Schusterman to all my friends and family. He has made this whole process a very easy process and I am very thankful. Pros: Educated me about the procedure. Highly qualified doctor. Great results. Cons: Parking can be a bit crazy at times but he is in the Medical Center. more

I went to Dr. Schusterman to get a breast augmentation because of his great credentials. His price was higher than the other doctors quote's I've gotten, but I'm glad I ended up paying the extra money, because the results were wonderful. However, his appointments are quick (I'm talking 5-10 minutes) and he often double books patients, so his waiting room is constantly filled and the wait time is around 45 minutes for a quick followup. He is very busy and barely will look at you during your appointments. Despite this, you can't argue that he isn't a good surgeon. I'd go back again based on his expertise alone. Pros: Great surgeon, double board certified Cons: pricier than other plastic surgeons, long wait times, no bedside manner more

staff is fake friendly and i did not get the results i wanted. i feel like in a couple of years i will have to have surgery again to fix everything. more

Finding the right surgeon is key, but his support staff is equally important. I picked the doc based on his exceptional qualifications, however, the experience with his staff was far from pleasant. I was assured there was no consultation fee and confirmed my appointment. As I was sitting in the office waiting to see the doc, Ms. Karen Ivy (staff) told me that unless I paid the fee, he would not be able to see me. I tried to tell her that I was informed that there would be no fee, but it fell on deaf ears. After returning home and confirming through past emails that there was no consultation fee, I called the office back. It was not until this time that Ms. Ivy wanted to ""reconcile"" their mistake and see me. She should have reconciled the situation WHILE I was there sitting in the office and not later when I have already returned home. I not only wasted my time and parking money to see the doctor, the experience was so offensive that I had to write this blog to warn others. Having a pleasant and professional staff is an important part of having surgery because they are the ones you see before and after. I would not recommend his services to others. Cons: Parking and unpleasant staff more
