Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I first came to Dr. Standefer not sure of what to expect, or even what I wanted. He took the time to listen to me and made comments and suggestions that addressed everything I said. He was wonderful! As a surgeon, I cannot imagine someone with more experience and skill. He provided results that far exceeded what I hoped for. At 57, I feel like I have a whole new life ahead of me!

This was life changing. Outstanding results. Excellent support from staffand Dr took 20 yrs off. I'm told I look like I used to, very natural look and not overdone. Hair dresser, who sees scars marveled and said she thinks I won't have scars that show and says surgeon make very smooth flat stitches. She has seen facelifts for 32 yrs. Wonderful attention to details. Would not hesitate to do this again if Dr.Standefer was the surgeon! A must is to have this world class surgeon.

After years of researching facial and neck surgeries, I booked an appointment with Dr. Standefer. My husband and I were 100% put at ease from the first appointment. The staff is not only knowledgable and friendly, but they truly welcome you. They are like the friends you haven't seen in a while. All of our questions were answered and then some. At my initial consult, we proceeded with booking the procedure. Dr. Standefer and staff were readily available to answer questions along the way. Surgery was done in office, and I had a few days of follow up with the doctor and staff. Did I mention that EVERYONE seems like a friend helping you to achieve the best outcome?! We were provided easy to follow instructions for care at home. Fast forward a month, and all I can say is WOW!! I am 100% pleased with my results and love showing them off. No more curling my hair into my face to try to hide my triple chins. No more pulling my eyelids up to put eyeshadow on. I love my new face!!!

Everyone is beyond helpful, informative and attentive to a patient's needs and concerns and Dr. Standefer is a miracle worker!

This experience is everything you could wish for when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Dr. Standefer took the time to answer all of my questions and address every concern. I walked into the procedure with clear expectations and left with detailed, easy to follow instructions. The staff, everyone from reception to the post-op recovery team, is so kind and caring. Sherri was so patient and kind at every follow up appointment. Changing your appearance can be stressful and personal, but team did everything the could to make it a smooth, enjoyable process. As Dr. Standefer says, "We do happy here."

My experience at Fresh Image was smooth starting from the consultation. Dr. Standefer is very knowledgable and knows the look you want to achieve. Most of my immediate questions were answered in the consultation and the pre-op appointment. From consultation through surgery day, the staff were encouraging and supportive. You can tell they really enjoy what they do and working with Dr. Standefer. His staff were very helpful post-op and were there for me even when I just needed reassurance. I have already referred everyone I have talked to about this procedure and will continue to in the future.

Dr. Standefer listened to my request of what I really wanted to achieve. As a former cancer patient he also provided guidance and made suggestions, engaging Erin to also provide a professional opinion. Wonderful experience with his entire staff pre and post operation, and now I look a lot younger! Thank you Dr. Standefer and staff!

Anesthesia concern
A friend had a facelift through this MD, and her results were amazing, so I went to see him. Other than upselling me on procedures that didn't address my concerns, my biggest concern was the fact that he uses a paramedic for anesthesia. This was enough for me to seek care with another surgeon. A paramedic and a handful of pills is no way to administer anesthesia. I don't know if this is ethical, never mind legal. He seems like a nice guy and I am sure he is a competent surgeon, but the anesthesia was a huge concern for me.

Dr. Standefer is a genius. He listened to all of my concerns. He knows what you want before you tell him. He is just that good! I look natural but better and that was exactly what I wanted. Staff was amazing and even the Anesthesiologist was great. I was a little nervous before surgery and he stopped what he was doing to help alleviate my concerns. Would recommend 100%.

Poor genetics and the weight roller coaster caused my neck and jaw line to be much bulkier than I liked. Dr. Standefer and his staff made everything truly effortless. From helping me decide if a neck lift was right for me, to the amazing aftercare, I have felt truly cared for. The only regret is that I should have done this years ago. WOW - I am even getting asked if I am my husbands daughter!

I can"t think of anyone better than Dr. Standerfer to trust my face with. I was sure I would still look like myself, but it was still a scary decision to make. I couldn't be more impressed with my results. Dr. Standerfer ihas the personality to put you at ease through the proceedure.

Dr Standefer and team are top notch! Double board certified and an excellent bedside manner. Always willing to spend as much time answering questions as is needed. Explained the pros and cons of different face lifts and brow lifts. Truly an artist who cares about his patients. He wants us to be happy with our outcome. Over 8000+ face lifts, but I always felt as if I was his only patient. Personalized service from start to finish.

  • "I wasn’t nervous; I was excited. You see certain things in the mirror and you think, that’s okay. Then you see a snapshot of yourself and you think, oh my, I look so tired! I looked so much older than I felt! After I had the FreshLift, I’ve had people comment that my face or skin looks so good, or ask me if I’ve lost weight. It looks totally natural and I’ve never had anyone ask me if I had anything done. They just tell me I look great. My skin even feels healthier!"

  • "The doctor is so easy to talk to, shows you the results you'll get, and takes his time with you in answering questions. He makes you feel at ease & is very skilled in his profession!"

  • "Dr Standefer is the most honest, talented and faithful doctor I have ever met! I thank him all the time for the work he did for me. He is humble and has a great "bedside" manner. I tell him he is the last of the good ole boys!"

  • "I recommend my doctor because I feel he was competent, he knew what he was doing,I had a good experience, and he did not lie about what to expect. I have the results I was looking for and I am very pleased. I look younger and feel that way."

  • "Dr. Standefer is the best!!!!!! I would recommend him to any and all looking for plastic surgery. Come to Dallas and get the best.... it is worth the drive or flight to see him. He is not the stuffy plastic surgeon type but a very kind, professional and caring doctor. His staff is also attentive and caring. They take the time to listen to questions or concerns and answer them with direct responses. I had no issues and healed in record time."

  • "My wife recently had a Lifestyle Lift by Dr. Standefer and during my evaluation I found him quite understanding and reasonable on all counts. Furthermore, when researching his background, it seems the CEO of this national chain had flown his wife to this surgeon for facial work. Well the day surgery was a bit more extensive than originally anticipated and removing the stitches was a bit of an ordeal; however the results met my expectations and the investment was more than justified. In retrospect, would I recommend a comparable procedure by this professional? Absolutely!"
