WOW Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Prem Patel’s patients use a lot of words to describe him. Relatable. Approachable. Personable. Funny. Energetic. Forthright. Kind. In return, he has one word for them — WOW! That’s because wow is what he wants to offer them. “I want them to look wow, feel wow, and be wow,” he said. “I’m passionate about helping patients feel better about who they are, empowering them to live their WOW life.”

This fan-favorite cosmetic surgeon is many things. He’s a triple-board certified surgeon and eminently trained physician. He’s a kind and compassionate doctor, a considerate and supportive employer, and a loving and devoted husband and father. But he’s also a simple guy who enjoys goofing around, making people laugh, and just “doing life” with his family, staff, and patients.

“When someone leaves my office — whether it’s one of my patients or one of my employees — I want them to leave with a smile on their face,” he said. “When a patient comes to see me, they’re choosing to have cosmetic surgery and they’re choosing to see me. This is something they don’t have to do but want to do. I want to begin with an eye-to-eye consult and the idea that, ‘Hey, this is just you and me talking.’ Let’s talk together about what I can do to help you feel better about yourself. If I can use humor to help them relax, that’s what I’ll do.”

Many of “Dr. WOW, MD’s” patients are postpartum. They’ve just gone through one of the most amazing things a human body can do, nurturing a life and bringing that life into the world. “That’s a beautiful thing, but it can be hard on the body,” he said. “I want to let my postpartum moms know, ‘You have one life to live. You have one body, and you deserve to feel good about it.’ You should never feel guilty about wanting to look and feel your best.”

Each consultation begins with Dr. P simply listening to the things each patient would like to do to improve their body and letting them know, “I’m here to help you. Let’s do this together.” Then, he outlines their options — surgical and non-surgical — and the pros and cons of each.

“The consultation isn’t something we should rush,” he said. “This is a time for me to gain their trust and to help them relax. We’re a team and together we’ll consider each option one at a time, to blend the patient’s goals with the procedures that will give them the results they want. A Mommy Makeover, for instance, usually consists of breast surgery, liposuction, and a tummy tuck, but it will be a little different for each mommy depending upon her body and her goals.”

Dr. Patel’s aim for that first consultation is to give the patient a realistic expectation of what he can achieve for their exact anatomy. “I want your unique transformation to be wow for you,” he said. “But I also want the results to be natural looking. I tell patients, ‘Let’s keep them guessing’. We want to achieve the best version of you, naturally.”

The goal is for any changes to be in harmony with the rest of your body. “Even with a facelift, I still want you to look like who you are,” Dr. Patel said. “Ultimately, anything I do has my name on it. I never want a patient of mine to look overdone or unnatural.”

Meet Dr. Patel

Prem Patel was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. His education, training, and work moved him around quite a bit before landing him in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As they say, he’s not from here, but he got here as quickly as he could. He’s married to the love of his life, Sonia. They just welcomed their third child, baby girl Zuri, and brought her home to her ecstatic brother and sister, Zayn and Zavia. He loves spending time with his family and friends and — as he puts it — pretending to be funny.

Dr. Patel’s education took a bit of a circuitous route, he admits, beginning with a civil engineering degree. He’s as surprised as anyone how much that training helps him in his career as a cosmetic surgeon. “Structural engineering is all about problem solving and it really helped me to learn to think that way. It made me very quantitative,” he said. “It might sound weird, but the structure of a building can be comparable to the structure of the human body. In engineering school at the University of Illinois, I minored in structural human anatomy. Pretty sure my guidance counselor thought I was insane, but it helps me every day.”

He went on to become a double doctorate Ivy League-educated facial surgeon and a double fellowship-trained face, breast, and body cosmetic surgeon who’s performed thousands of successful cosmetic procedures. But he’s still just a regular guy. When he opened his office in Colleyville, Dr. Patel was deliberate about selecting a team that shares his fun-loving approach and his patient-first philosophy.

“Another thing I learned during my education is that you’re only as good as your tools,” Dr. Patel said. “Advancements in cosmetic technology have allowed us to achieve far better results than ever before and we’ve invested in the very best and latest tools and technology to do just that. Using state-of-the-art devices, such as VASER, Renuvion, Sylfirm X, Fraxel, Thermage, PicoLo Premium, GentleMax Pro, and other non-surgical devices, allow us to take your transformations up a notch and leave you saying ‘WOW!’ I’d love to sit down with you and talk about your aesthetic goals and exactly how we can help you live your best WOW life.”
