Real Self Review

After having tried on a necklace in the bright lights of Swarovski, I realized that rather than buying a necklace to draw attention to that area, correcting my jowls and neck would be a better idea. I decided on Dr. Standefer, and I am so glad that I did. Both the doctor and his staff were extremely kind and knowledgeable…My husband keeps telling me that I am beautiful and that he thinks it was money well spent because it (mini lift) has made me so happy.

My doctor was nothing short of amazing! He changed my perspective on male doctors completely. His bed side manner was sensitive and gentle and so very understanding! His staff was unbelievable! The kindness and sincerity was so very touching. This place is amazing to say the least. This team is a family and you can tell in the energy of the office that they all care for each other and their patients! I will only go there for now on!

He is down to earth and treats you as a individual person. He will take the time to explain every step. He will be honest and say if he can do what you are expecting by the having this done. His work is awesome and close to perfection.

Dr. takes his time to explain everything from beginning to end. He also has a way of making you feel calm by his mild manner. After care is just as important to him. You see him, not a nurse on your follow up. He makes himself available for any questions you may have, any time. I just adore him! Sweetest soul ever!

I had the lift done as well as my eyes. I did it so I would look as young as my husband who is the same age but not aging like I have. My results were great. I look 10 to 15 years younger and have gotten a lot of compliments. People don’t know why I look different as I have grown out my hair a little. They just say how great I look.

A great doctor. Dr. Standefer is so patient, kind, and considerate. Wanted to know exactly what I wanted, and made sure I was happy. His enthusiasm, care, and knowledge are second to none, in my humble opinion.

Real Self Review

I liked Dr. Standefer from the first moment of my first consultation with him. Smiling face (and eyes), friendly, easy-going, endlessly patient, explained the procedures I wanted and answered all my questions thoroughly. I felt comfortable with him and confident that he was the surgeon for me. He absolutely loves what he does and it shows. My surgery went very well with no complications and I’m very pleased with the results.

Oh my gosh, where do I begin? Dr. Standefer was wonderful, he is a very caring person and was very sure that I knew what was going to happen and what I needed to do for the follow-up. I could not have picked a better doctor.

I’m so thrilled that I did not pass up this opportunity to feel better about myself. I gained so much self-confidence and have gone on to lose almost 50 pounds. I feel and look years younger. The great thing is, it’s a very natural look.

Dr. Standefer is one of the Best doctors I’ve ever met. His bedside manner is amongst all doctors. I’ve had Botox & restalayne with him. When I’m ready to have my facelift he will be the only Dr. I would go to. He told me I’m not ready yet. I appreciate his honesty & kind nature. I will always recommend my friends & family to him.

Dr. John Standefer is the kindest doctor you could ever meet. He will spend the time you need to make sure all your questions are answered before your procedure and afterwards. His skilled and professional staff are there to assist you in any way that you need additional support. Phone responses are immediate and you are always made to feel like you matter–because they do care about you!

Dr. John Standefer performed my surgery at his office in Dallas in February 2015 I didn’t feel a thing. He is very personable and makes you feel very safe. He truly cares about you as a patient. He called me several times at home to check on me. He gave my family his cell phone number to call him if we needed him for anything. Also his staff was incredible.

Real Self Review

Dr. Standefer was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. This was the first procedure I have ever had done so I was a little nervous. Overall, it took less than an hour and I had very little discomfort. I was even prepared for a little bruising and hardly had any at all. It looks great and I can see what looks like several years of tiredness and stress has been taken off of my face!!! Thank you Dr. Standefer for an amazing job!

Love my results! Dr. Standefer an his staff are wonderful! I did about a year of searching for the perfect doctor and decided on Dr. Standefer for several reasons. His experience, his reviews and mostly, his personal manner. In seeing so many doctors over my year of searching ,my choice also came down to the facility, the way the staff treated me and if my doctor was able to tell ME what I needed instead of ME telling HIM. Dr. Standefer was able to do that. It’s been 6 weeks since my procedure and I couldn’t be happier. I had an upper and lower eye lift and a neck lift. I’m very pleased and so happy I chose Fresh Image. I will be coming here for all of my beauty needs.

“10 years younger”

Having surgery on your face is scary business. You hear all the bad stories. They made it easy. Walked me through what to expect, and assured me they were there if I needed anything.

A Most Awesome Experience X 2!! Dr. Standefer performed my face lift procedure 3 years ago and I was so thrilled with the results that I returned to have him perform my brow lift and eyelid procedures as well. I was more than satisfied with both. What sold me on Dr. Standefer after interviewing 3 other plastic surgeons was that his hobby was photography so I knew his eye was fine tuned and that he was an artist. I felt that important. Additionally, he was completely qualified medically, having performed over 10,000 facial surgeries. His bedside manner is so comfortable and informative, answering all my questions with patience. I never felt hurried. Another BIG plus was that I didn’t need to be put under for my surgery, so recovery was very quick. I highly recommend Dr. Standefer for any facial surgery!

Awesome Dr. and awesome staff!!! Could not be any happier with my whole experience with Fresh Image. I had an excellent experience from my first initial consultation and all the way up to the post op. Would definitely recommend Dr. Standefer to all my friends and family.

Neck Lift – easy, comfortable process. I was so surprised of how little pain I experienced the days following surgery. Recovery was easy and I was at work on Monday – wore a cute scarf around my neck but no one had a clue. I was thrilled to be able to do oral sedation and had no recollection of the surgery. One last thing…I was impressed that Dr. Standefer never tried to over sell me on additional procedures. I did inquire about a lower face lift and he gave me the pros and cons of doing both or just doing the neck lift and ultimately agreed I could wait on the additional procedure. I really appreciated that! I love my results…even better than I imagined it would turn out.

Developing a patient’s trust is key in establishing a professional relationship. When I met PAT KIERNAN, a highly skilled registered nurse injector at Dr. John Standefer’s office, that trust came easily. Pat has a calm nature and a gentle touch.

My experience at Fresh Image was wonderful. Nurse Practitioner Taylor did my photofacial and she was so warm and personable, being sure to target the areas I am most concerned about (rosacea and brown spots). I highly recommend this location and would like to return again soon.

I just had Voluma for my cheeks today. Dr Standefer is a plastic surgery genius that always gives me the results much more than I expected. Dr Standefer is very patient, he listens to your concerns and spends time on making sure he understands your expectation.

I loved my experience with Dr. Standefer and his staff. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t think twice about using Dr. S. I’ve wanted this surgery my whole life, and my consultation gave me so much peace about the decision. Dr. Standefer was compassionate and patient, making sure to listen to exactly what I wanted. I never once felt pressured into getting surgery, and they let me spend a few months thinking about the decision, completely uninfluenced. The surgery staff made my experience comfortable and even fun. I give Dr Standefer and my experience with Fresh Image an 11/10 rating!

I’m still relatively young, but was seeing greater premature agging/sagging in my midface area from lack of fullness in and effect of gravity on my cheeks. I feel that my face looks refreshed and less aged without looking at all unnatural. I would not hesitate to return to Dr. Standefer for any procedures or treatments I might find necessary in the future!

I am pleased with the results and I have had so many compliments from people I have not seen in a while telling me I look “so young” or “look like I am 20” and attribute it to my hair cut, hair color or weight loss. They continue to tell me I look “great” or “so good”.

First, I had a couple of friends who did just the lift and look great. Next I researched and found out Dr Standefer has done over 5,000 procedures. His experience was important to me. The location is near my home. I highly recommend him . I wrote a check but know that they have a payment plan.

  • My experience with Dr. Standefer and his staff was beyond exemplary. As a newbie to cosmetic surgery I was extremely nervous until I met Dr. S and Taylor. They immediately put me at ease with their expertise and patience. Every detail and concern was addressed in a caring and professional manner. They carefully explained each step and what to expect following surgery. I could not be more pleased with my outcome!

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.

Dr. Standefer is a very kind and gentle man, as well as a very skilled surgeon. He really has a concern for his patients. While wanting to achieve his patient’s dream of a rested, “Fresher Image”, he is also very cautious not to make you look like you had a lift. Every member of his staff was more than wonderful and very responsive when I had questions after the procedure.

The Best Thing I Ever Did!! People have been telling me I look 15 years younger. My 7 year old grandson saw a picture of me from 2 years ago & said “you look old there- you look young now”. Out of the mouths of babes!! The changes are very dramatic! My dermatologist is impressed with my results

-dlasater

After consulting with Dr. Standefer I was confident that he was extremely knowledgeable and had my best interest at heart! He was patient with me and explained everything! Dr. Standefer did Botox for the fine lines on my forehead and eyes, Radiesse filler for my cheeks (volume has decreased in them) and Belotero in my “parenthesis”! My results were amazing! People guess me much younger than my actual age! I was thrilled and will continue to seek his skilled expertise to accomplish my goal…aging gracefully!

I was about to give up when someone told me about Dr John Standefer. After meeting with him he gave me all the confidence in the world that he could help me with a facelift. I was skeptical but decided to give it one last try. The only way I can describe what he can do is that he is an artist, his knowledge and skills is beyond what I would ever expect a surgeon to know. My results took 10 years off my face and the confidence he gave me through the healing process was awesome.

About 2 years ago I had Dr Standefer remove a few wrinkles from my eyes and perform a lifestyle lift because I had lost 125 pounds 20 years ago….and well… a lift was needed!! He was amazing.

To say I’m thrilled with the results would be an understatement. Prior to finding Dr. Standefer, I had one If the more popular non-surgical chin tightening procedures done and was very displeased with the results. So I did A lot of research on getting a chin lift and no one was even in the same stratosphere as Dr. Standefer.

My eye bags were really bad for my age, I got a lower blepharoplasty with Dr Standefer and I’m SO happy with the results. Worth every penny, two thumbs up. I’m no longer told I look tired, and I have my confidence back, I’d highly recommend him for this surgery. Healing process is slower for this type of surgery, but end results are amazing, I’m about a year post op currently.
