By Steve Gamel

There is something to be said for putting your faith in an experienced team of award-winning plastic surgeons and knowing that regardless of how unhappy you are with the way you look now, it will all be better the next time you look in the mirror. Yes, being the best version of yourself at any stage of life is possible — provided that you choose the American Institute for Plastic Surgery.

People throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and from around the world visit this state-of-the-art facility year-round to receive world-class care and a level of surgical and aesthetic excellence that delivers stunning results.

“Our goal is to earn our patients’ trust, build long-lasting relationships with them, and help make a difference in their lives.” – Drs. Peter

Raphael, Scott Harris, Alan Dulin, and Alfred Antonetti said in unison. Combined, this award-winning team of professionals is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and brings nearly 100 years of combined experience to the table.

What this means for you or a loved one is limitless possibilities. From Mommy Makeovers (abdominoplasty, body contouring, and breast augmentation) to face and brow lifts, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty (nose) surgery, they offer an extensive array of services expertly customized to each patient. Their office also provides non-surgical services and treatments — including innovative med spa solutions with access to experienced nurse injectors, certified laser technicians, and medical aestheticians you can’t find elsewhere.

“We build long-lasting relationships with our patients based on honesty, trust, and respect,” Dr. Harris said. “In addition to offering comprehensive services, including surgical and nonsurgical options, we listen to our patients’ desires and concerns, explain options, and create highly customized treatment plans.”

Personalized Care and Rave Reviews

Why do people come to the Metroplex when they can access facilities in their city or state? Patients understand the importance of choosing a center known for providing the highest level of artistic, technical, and professional excellence available in the field, along with the down-to-earth, caring approach that characterizes the doctors’ styles. Dr. Raphael, Harris, Dulin, and Antonetti all emphasize developing a genuine rapport with their patients and listening carefully to their needs and surgical goals.

As a result, the reviews continue to pour in.

“Everyone was nice and helpful, answering all my questions and making sure I was comfortable and understood everything,” one happy patient said. “They were all professional as well. Even before having anything done, I felt like Dr. Dulin and the nurses knew exactly what they were doing and that I would be in good hands with them.”

“Dr. Peter Raphael and his staff are incredible,” another patient said. “Why go anywhere else when this man is an artist? He is wonderful. He makes you feel like you are part of his family — not just a patient. Everyone in the office is incredibly kind. The nurses are wonderful, and I’ve never been treated better in a medical setting in all of my life. Thank you so much.”

“Dr. Scott Harris did an amazing job! I couldn’t be more pleased. I showed him a picture of how I wanted my breasts to look, and he matched that picture,” another client said. “Seriously! Not only did I have a breast reduction and lift, but I also had an areola reduction and nipple reduction surgery. I truly recommend this doctor. The staff is very, very nice and organized, too. You won’t be sorry going to Dr. Scott Harris. He is an artist.”
