There aren't enough positive words in the English language to describe the experience I had with Dr. Houser, his staff, and the results of my surgery. I've lived with gynecomastia for almost 30 years, which resulted in a great deal of self-consciousness and anxiety anytime I was forced to take off my shirt. After losing 75lbs, I looked to correct it in hopes that I could wear a tank top or go swimming without fear. Dr. Houser and his team are some of the kindest folks I've met in healthcare. They gave me a ton of information about the procedure and what I'd experience before, during, and after surgery. I was able to text or talk with my nurse anytime I had a question, which relieved a lot of the anxiety going into a surgery like this. And even better, the results were amazing. Every surgeon performs this kind of surgery a bit differently and I was nervous about the outcome. But when I took off the binder for the first time, I actually cried. The results were even better than I hoped. Post-surgery, I've been able to wear tank tops, go shirtless without fear, and participate in vigorous workouts without the discomfort of my man-boobs jumping all over the place. But more than anything else, I don't feel the anxiety that used to occupy most of my waking hours. I can wear shirts that fit instead of ones that hid my chest. If you're thinking of getting cosmetic surgery, look no further. Dr. Houser, Christin, and the rest of the crew are not only phenomenal at what they do, but they are kind, empathetic humans who care a great deal for their patients. They tell you what is realistic and if you ask me, they over-deliver when it comes to results. read more

(I want to clarify that this surgery was not performed by Dr. Hauser, who was going to be out of the office at the scheduled time of my surgery.) Finding out you have breast cancer is frightening. It does not only affect you, but your whole family. You naively trust you will have the best care and you put that trust in doctors that specialize in this field. I want to state that I am writing this review ONLY in the hope of protecting another woman from having the outcome that I sadly face and will continue to in some compacity, the rest of my life. After my cancer diagnosis, I had a double mastectomy with direct to implant. I had very realistic expectations and did not expect perfection since there would be no breast tissue and the breast were being created using implants and using ADM tissue to make a sling or pocket of sorts. I was told it was best that the implants would be above the muscle. Again, you unknowingly trust those you guided to trust. The double mastectomy was an outpatient surgery and I went home thinking "wow, this was so much better than expected?" Then I saw my breast for the first time. I felt as though I was not looking at my body. My breast were not just a little uneven, but drastically so. I had rolled skin under my arms like it was an after thought? My nipples, which should have never tried to been saved due to ptosis, sadly, just for the sake of another nipple sparing mastectomy, mine were left pointing straight down on both of my sadly sagging breast. (my right breast hanging much lower.) This isn't the worst part. What I found/find most disturbing and to be honest, I personally felt was cruel, was the lack of care. Not just medical care, but such a lack of empathy to my circumstance and my unhappiness of the outcome. A month after surgery I started feeling new swelling and pain in my left breast. The swelling became so intense my breast was bruised from top to bottom. This scared me and I am not a person that is faint of heart. I am pain tolerant and I have a positive disposition. This is my first negative review and I felt convicted to write this only to state to women who need to understand as I needed and wish I knew, that you must be your own advocate. After seeing this swelling increase, and calling the nurse of this surgeon, I was told to take pictures of my breast and send them (text) for viewing. Upon receiving a text back, it was stated that the bruising and swelling was not specifically caused from the implant and it would heal? Now, I found myself after being cleared of cancer, which I thank God for, I was facing what was supposedly the easy part of healing with new breast and moving on with my life, became the nightmare that was far more than I could ever have imagined. Days after being dismissed by the surgeon who would have NEVER tolerated the results of the incompetency of this surgery if it was his wife or family member...I ended up in the ER with my right breast swollen so badly it was like a balloon and I could not even touch without pain. I had to have a CT guided aspiration to alleviate the swelling and help the pain. A seroma had formed under the breast implant causing it to push forward and blood to pool. Which he probably knew and if not, that in itself is beyond questionable. I contacted the oncologist surgeon who performed my dmx and who works with this surgeon and I explained that I did not trust his surgical skills, his care, and stated how disappointed I had been from day one with what I thought were going was going to breast of some degree. She basically took over my "care" and after five CT guided aspirations, ( the radiation exposure each time, as well as all the stress) I had the radiologist and members of radiology, who were all very kind, tell me that they were sorry for what I was having to deal with and that they were going to write in my report that I needed to have surgical intervention, they were going to refuse to do any more aspirations. I had to have explantation by a surgeon my oncologist suggested and when he removed my implants, basically by emergency through the ER, when he made the first cut under my left breast where the seroma/now hematoma developed, blood actually gushed out. Please....for your well being, ask to see pictures of your plastic surgeons work! Don't settle for the doctor that your oncologist works with. It is far too important of a decision, choose wisely. Pictures paint a thousand words! Look at their work, feel at ease in your choice and please, take your time! This is your body. Go to multiple plastic surgeon consultations that specialize in reconstruction. Ask any and all questions. Write them down. You deserve the best outcome that is available and that begins with both the right surgery choice and your choice of a plastic surgeon. I lost my breast not once, but twice. To anyone on this journey, I wish you many blessings and an outcome that leaves you happy and at peace. read more

Best plastic surgeon in Columbus! He did my breast augmentation and the results are so natural! He used the areola incision for my 300cc silicone implants. The scars blend in perfectly and you cannot notice them at all unless I point it out. He is so kind, funny, confident, and VERY realistic and will give you his honest opinion. I originally wanted more cc's, but with my small frame and narrow chest, he recommended against it and I am so glad I listened because they are perfect! If you do not need something done, he will tell you that, even though he could just do it and take more of your money, but that isn't who he is. Dr. Houser is an artist and I could not recommend him more! If you're looking for a professional, well-respected board-certified plastic surgeon, you cannot go wrong with him. He takes his work very seriously instead of doing all that social media stuff. His work speaks for itself and I have recommended him to several of my friends. read more

Columbus Cosmetic - 300cc silicone high profile implants. 32B to 32D. - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Dr. Houser has been my plastic surgeon since 2004, having done both breast augmentation and more recently, an eye lift or blepharoplasty. Both procedures have been flawlessly done. He carefully explained the pros, cons, and potential complications, of which I was lucky enough to have none. I am a registered nurse and the wife of a local physician. Therefore I know firsthand how knowledgable and skilled Dr. Houser is in his field. He cares about his work and his patients outcomes as well as their overall happiness. I have recommended him to many others, and will continue to do so as I firmly believe he is the best plastic surgeon in the Columbus area. read more

When it comes to something as sensitive and important as cosmetic enhancements I seriously cannot imagine a better doctor than Rob Houser. I've been to a few (Michael Sullivan, his wife, and Dr. Wakelin). In the end I have stuck with Houser and he is the person I went with for the big stuff (you know, the knife!). I was elated with my results. I am super comfortable talking to him and probably most important is that he has talked me OUT of stuff I thought about doing. And I'm really glad. I enjoy him, I trust him and am really grateful I've found him. Prices are very competitive. If there's a downside I can't think of one. read more

The worst plastic surgeon I've ever seen. He's evil and vindictive. He will ruin your life and keep trying to correct his mistakes but leave you worse than you were before. Then he will tell you he will refund your money but won't. He's a liar and has serious mental problems. He changes personalities like he does his clothes. Be careful and do you're research. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Houser's for several years and couldn't be more impressed with him or his staff! He is incredibly thorough and an absolute professional. I felt very informed before my procedure, comfortable and cared for during my procedure and Dr. Houser's staff followed up with me after I was home to see how I was recovering. Whether you are contemplating a laser skin procedure, cosmetic surgery, or anything in between...I highly recommend Dr. Houser! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Houser's for 13 years. I first saw him for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. After having 4 children in as many years, I never thought I would like my body again. He did amazing work! My breasts look so natural you honestly would never know they are not real. I have also had Botox and Juvederm done by Dr Houser and he is so skilled at knowing exactly where to inject so you don't have that plastic frozen look. Most recently, I had lip implants and again they look so natural. Dr Houser totally takes his time with you to fully understand the look you want (and don't want!) I would never go anywhere else! read more
