Michael E. Decherd M.D. – San Antonio Plastic Surgeon

"Brilliant surgeon - After losing over 60 pounds through diet and exercise, I found Dr Decherd. He performed a tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation on me. To start with, he is a super likeable person. His whole staff is professional and friendly. I’ve had a couple of friends who have had surgery with him and they looked great afterwards. Now that I’ve had my surgery, it’s hard to believe that’s my body when I look in the mirror. My stomach is flat, my bellybutton looks natural, and my breasts look amazing! I’ve never had much confidence in my physique until now. It’s really a great feeling! Thank you, Dr Decherd!"

"I had a tummy tuck from a well-known surgeon in Austin in January 2023 and it was a disaster. I woke up with pain I never experienced before. I still had a double fold of skin in my upper belly and the incision opened up within a few weeks and got infected. It took me 3 months to recover and the post-op care was poor. The surgeon offered to do a revision for free, but I did not have confidence in him. If he did not do it right the first time, why would he do a better job the second time? Plus he said that improvement would be minimal. I was very discouraged and fearful about having a revision. That's when I was referred to Dr. Decherd by my primary physician and another excellent plastic surgeon, both of whom I respected and knew had my best interests at heart. Dr. Decherd immediately put me at ease. He spent the time needed to make me comfortable and deal with my concerns and questions. He said that he could improve the results of my first surgery and make it at least 80 percent better. I also decided to have him do a breast augmentation at the same time. I had visited another surgeon for a second opinion and he said he "would not touch me" due to my tummy tuck issues from last year and problems associated with a previous breast augmentation several decades earlier. Based on that second opinion and the reassurance of both my primary physician and plastic surgeon noted earlier, I decided to proceed with Dr. Decherd. The difference in my experience with the surgeon in Austin and Dr. Decherd was like night and day! I had very little, if any pain. The double fold of skin in my belly is gone. Six weeks later, I can barely see scars from my incisions from either the tummy tuck or the breast augmentation. Dr. Decherd did not just make my tummy tuck revision 80 percent better - it's 120 percent better and above and beyond my expectations! I originally wanted a breast lift and was hesitant to get implants. I went instead with the smallest implants available and I can truthfully say that the outcome is dramatically better than I even imagined possible. I am so thankful to Dr. Decherd. He is an outstanding surgeon with a warm personality and an amazing support team, from the front desk staff, to Sarah, the patient coordinator, and Heather, his nurse, for their excellent and supportive post-op care, and the anesthesiologist and attending nurses during the surgery. The results speak for themselves and that's the way it should be."

"Love my tummy!!! - I’ve had three babies via c section and my stomach has looked sad and deflated for many years. Dr. Decherd gave me a wonderful tummy tuck and I have found confidence again in my appearance! Such a great staff as well. 10 out of 10 for everyone I have zero complaints!"
