Testi "I have been a cosmetic patient of Dr. Goesel Anson for the past 10 years. Her surgical skill and "cutting edge" knowledge are beyond excellent, and she is assisted by a professional, efficient staff in her new, upscale office facility. I continue to have the upmost respect for her as a surgeon and person of our community."

Testi "I was always considered attractive through the early years of my life. In my thirties, Botox and collagen injections became available to take care of crow's feet and lip lines, but during my mid forties, I developed slight jowls, slight sagging under my chin, lowering of the eyebrows, deepening under eye cricles, and minor turn-down at the corners of my mouth. Although I maintained an active lifestyle, keeping slender and fit, and was still facially "attractive" by general standards, I was disappointed when I saw that the reflection in the mirror no longer met with my self image, I looked more tired and older than I felt.

Having heard about and seen the facial rejuvenation work done by Dr.Anson, I decided to consult with her. She told me there were several nonsurgical options I could take which would alleviate some of my concerns for several years, but that I could probably resolve all of them with immediate surgical facial makeover. Despite the concerns of friends and family that I was too young for surgery (at 44 yrs old), I chose the surgical option, and left it up to Dr.Anson to do everything she thought was needed during the procedure.

When I look back at my life, this decision stands out as one of the best I ever made. After recovering from my mini facelift, endoscopic browlift, chemical peel and lower blepheroplasty, I looked just like myself only better. All those issues that nagged me when I looked into the mirror were erased. Even my husband was concerned that I "looked fine" and didn't see why I wanted to go through surgery, he was completely amazed at the results. NO ONE even realizes I had surgery when they see me. Everyone just thinks I look great and am aging extremely well!!

To any man or woman, whom like I did, feel the mirror doesn't reflect his or her true self image, I highly recommend consultation with Dr.Anson. And by all means, ask to see my before and after pictures. They are real, untouched and speak louder than any words you could read here."

Testi "I would like to tell you what happened to me following surgery procedures I did with both Dr. Anson & Dr. Higgins. Dr. Anson did a Facelift, Endoscopic Browlift, Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty and Fat Injections in my face. Dr. Higgins did a Full Abdominoplasty. I am 54 years old.

1st Encounter:

One Friday evening after work I stopped at a Walmart grocery store to pick-up beer for my husband. The cashier actually 'carded' me. When she asked my age I said. "I love you!"

If I had Dr. Anson's cell phone number handy I would have called her while in line from my cell phone to say, "IT WORKED! I got carded!" I also believe the reason the cashier carded me was because of the body work by Dr. Higgins. A flat stomach is a younger bod! It's "The Whole Package". And how you feel is how you look!

2nd Encounter:

I went to Wholefoods market one Saturday afternoon after my workout. There was a young woman out front measuring body fat. As I was about to step on her scale she asked my age. It is standard procedure to enter the person's age in order to determine the optimum ratio of body fat to weight for each individual.

I told her my age and she replied, "you sure don't look it. Wow, you really look great!" I responded, "Thank you, I have the best doctor!" She immediately said, "Dr. Anson!"

"Yes, I said, how did you know?" "I guess it's no longer the best kept secret in or out of Las Vegas!"

And dont forget Dr. Higgins's Body Work, they go hand-in-hand. The young woman measuring body fat is a personal trainer. She was impressed with "The Whole Package"

Thank you Dr. Anson & Dr. Higgins for my new lease on life.

It's been so much fun!

Best thing I ever did & all I had to do was show up!"

Testi "Dr. Higgins has the hands of an amazing artist. I have never had more confidence than I have now! After having children I had a very low self-esteem about my body. He helped me achieve the most outstanding results with breast augmentation. He made me feel so comfortable sharing my concerns with him. I absolutely love his staff as well! They were all so nice and caring when I had questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend him to anybody considering plastic surgery!"

Testi "Dr. Anson is like no other doctor! She combines brilliance, artistry, professionalism, & charisma all in one person. She not only strives for perfection in her work, but truly cares about each and every patient on an individual level."

Testi "I have had nothing but great experiences with the office of Anson & Higgins. From fillers to facials I always leave their office feeling and looking my best! The entire staff is courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. I recommend this office wholeheartedly to anyone looking for skin care to surgery!"

Testi "My name is J. I am 41 years old. After 5 pregnancies, and gaining 60 plus pounds with each of them, I desperately needed "help" even after returning to my pre-pregnancy weight. There was no way to disguise the "elasticity" of my stomach or boobs, given what they had been through.

At the time I was 38 and I knew I was not going to have any more children, so I made an appointment with Dr. Higgins. I had the consultation in August and scheduled the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast lift for early November.

The rest is history.

My stomach has NEVER been flatter and I only wear a bra when and if I want to!! (ok, nipple covers always!) From start to finish Dr. Higgins gave me the confidence that I would be pleased with my decision and pleased was an UNDERSTATEMENT! I was and still am ecstatic with the results. This may not be typical, but I had ZERO pain from the lift and was off of prescription painkillers on day 4 of recovery from the tuck.

Dr. Higgins has great intuition for how your body will adapt to each "curve". There is no higher recommendation than the one I would give Dr. Higgins. I was the greatest thing I have ever done for myself!"
