Rhinoplasty Reviews
If you have ever considered nose filler... do it! But find the right injector too because the nose is a tricky area! The previous filler Dr. Butler done on the tip of my nose had lasted right around 2 years. So we touched that up and the bump. I have had 2 septoplasty surgeries and should have just done the rhino on the last one. I have lost cartlidge in the tip of my nose and it's slightly bumpy. The tip of my nose had become more noticeable over the years more than anything. While filler is a temporary fix till I do surgery... I'm extremely pleased! Thank you again.

So I was a little nervous about meeting with a doctor about getting a facelift. But once I met with Dr. Butler, he explained everything and also said that I did not need a full facelift. He was very conservative with what we needed to do. Having my procedure in August so I’ll have to post my pictures after Dr. Butter does his procedures.
Dr. Butler was wonderful from the Initial consultation, the facelift -all the way through to my final appointment at six months. At 77 years of age, I was naturally nervous about undergoing this major surgery, but I hated my permanent frown lines.They are gone now and I look and feel at least 10 -maybe 15 years younger. I am so pleased with the results and highly recommend Dr. Butler and Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Butler did my eyelids a few years ago and a facelift with neck lipo in August 2025. I couldn't have had a better experience and results. He is honest about what to expect, has a great sense of humor, and is the best surgeon. I knew I was in good hands from start to finish, and I thank him and his staff for their professionalism and friendliness.
