Burr Von Maur, MD, FACS

I had my breast augmentation 7 years ago in Texas and developed a capsular contracture. It was very painful to live with, but I finally decided to do my research and fix the problem. Popular demand on the OC celebrity Dr.‘s pointed me straight to Dr. Von Maur. The ABSOLUTE BEST there is. He listened to exactly what I wanted (to keep my sporty size, but take out the capsules) and I immediately noticed this Dr. was different from the rest. The way he analyzed and analyzed my situation made me confident that this Dr. was indeed, a perfectionist. He spent a fair amount of time in my consultation explaining the work needed for my capsulectomy and recommended sizes and products with thourough explanation. After visiting a few well respected Dr.‘s in the OC and Beverly Hills, I felt 100% confident that Dr. Von Maur was right for me. WOW, was I right. Not only is he brilliant, but my breasts turned out even better than I thought they could. He really is a perfectionist.
Post OP: My biggest concern with post surgery was to have a Dr. who was available to me for all of my concerns. DR. Von Maur called personally the night of my operation to check on me. He also saw me 6 times within the first 10 days post OP. I am completely impressed with how well everything went. I could not have had a better experience and I am a total believer and fan of Dr. Von Maur.

I met Dr. Von Maur today in the ER as he stitched up a nasty laceration in my son’s lower lip. I was very impressed by how Dr. Von Maur treated us. He showed up within 10 minutes of being called even though he was on his way to do something else. He was so kind, calm and patient towards us during what was a very stressful moment for me as a mother watching her 2 year old son sedated and sewn up. He could have treated us like a hiccup in his day (which we truly were), but instead he took care of us wonderfully and treated us with nothing but kindness and professionalism. He was also very courteous to the hospital staff and thanked them for their help, and went out of his way to compliment them on their efficiency. I find that simple courteousness isn’t common these days, so the way Dr. Von Maur treated the other staff was really impressive to me. So while our «surgery» was a mundane and simple procedure for a specialty doctor like this, our experience was anything but. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact this doctor for any future needs.

My clothes didn’t fit any more, and I finally decided to get a head start on getting and staying in shape, so I took the plunge got some cosmetic procedures. I got a «Brazilian Butt Lift» and liposuction from Dr. von Maur at Cosmeticare. Afterwards I was very happy. I knew what I was supposed to look like, but I didn’t expect to look as good I do. And actually seeing that my old clothes no longer fit was a terrific feeling. The women I work with rave about my new body. They keep teasing to show them my butt. Women are the most critical, so I know I must look great.
Dr. von Maur is very forthright. He told me what he could and couldn’t do for me. He wasn’t trying to sell a fantasy. So I was very pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I also find Dr. von Vaur to be a caring person. After the procedure, he personally called and checked on me. And I left him a message, he’d personally get back to me pretty quickly. I feel safe and well cared for with Dr. von Maur.

Back in 2009 I got rhinoplasty surgery from Dr. von Maur that turned out really well. So finally I decided to get the breast augmentation I’ve been thinking about for years. I’m thrilled with the outcome. My breasts were barely existent before. And they feel natural, like I was born with them. I feel really confident, sexy, and womanly.
When I went to my initial consultation in February, I almost had second thoughts because of the list of all the things that could go wrong. But one of the staff, Denise, explained all about the procedure and her 100 percent confidence in the doctor and the products (newer implants than the silicon kind). She totally put me at ease. It also helped that there’s a payment system called CareCredit that allows me to pay each month over two years without interest.
Dr. von Maur is really kind of an artist and knows what he’s doing. He is sweet and yet to the point in explaining what he’s doing. He has confidence, which I really needed more than anything in something this important.

I went to this Dr. many years ago due to wanting my eyes to look «fresher». He took fat out of my eyelids. My face had a whole new appearance, which was not good. One of my eyelids had a slight pucker, which was due to (per other plastic surgeons) not being done completely. I was informed by NUMEROUS plastic surgeon that the work was not good. I should have had an eyebrow lift (done well) to give good results.

Von Maur is great. The cardiologist he referred to, Dr Rajput, is a a fraud and malpractitioner. He told me my EKG was abnormal and tried to sell me advanced tests that were only to further line his pockets. I smelled a rat and had my primary care doctor, and cardiologist team, at Kaiser review the results. They said it was perfectly normal; and to be sure, conducted an additional test which was completely normal. Von Maur credited all his fees back to me because i could not proceed with surgery due to the fraudulent report. He even told Visa to credit Rajput’s fees, so I thought all was fine, until i got a letter from a collections agency for Rajputs fees a year later.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Von Maur. He did my breast augmentation during the later part of 2012 and not only have I healed wonderfully but my breasts are absolutely beautiful. He and his staff have been exceptionally attentive at every appointment as well as when I have called with questions. Dr. von Maur even gave me a personal call the day of my surgery (after I was home) to make sure I was doing alright. I would absolutely choose Dr. Von Maur for my surgery if I had to do it all over again!

I started to see Dr. Burr Von Maur in my early 20“s. Ever time I have seen him he has listened and been respectful. I credit him for all that he has done. Monthly I send people to him (even my mother) and would never trust anyone else.

Dr. Von Maur has now done the lower half of my face, removing the jowl line, lifting the cheeks, tightening all the facial muscles, and liposuction to the front of my neck (giving me more of a chin), as well as tightening the neck muscles. His work is exemplary. I have had nothing but compliments on the way my face looks. It’s Me, just a younger me. Most people know I’ve had «something» done, but can’t exactly say what. And, that is what I think the work should look like. I should still look like me, just a younger, more youthful looking me. My face is still very animated, it does not look plastic or stiff at all. There are some lines, a small wrinkle here or there, and that is fine with me. I don’t want a face that looks like it’s been sheltered too much. I want a face that shows the world I have had fun, I just wanted it to be a bit younger looking face that had fun. And that is what I now have.
One year ago, Dr. Von Maur did a quad-​bleph and brow lift on my face, which removed the creases and wrinkles in my forehead, he softened the crease between my eyebrows, and doing all 4 eye quadrants, taking out the bagging, drooping upper eyelids, and reducing the tissue from the lower eyelid which was discolored. I could not cover the discolored portion on the lower eyelids with enough make up to take away the tired look to my eyes. This surgery has made a world of difference to me. As noted above, everyone could tell «something» had been done, but no one pointed at me and said «you had your eyes done,» or «you had X «. And, that is just exactly the work I wanted to have done. I wanted and was rewarded with a much more youthful appearance that brightened my face, and thus my outlook.
Dr. Von Maur has always been caring, concerned, and considerate of what work I wanted done, and worked hard to get the best result for me. I could not ask for a better surgeon.

If you are considering Dr. Von Maur to be your surgeon, it is very important that you read this. He has ruined my self-​esteem and has caused me unbelievable amounts of anguish and pain. Truly, this man needs to be stopped. Thankfully I have found other things in my life to fill the void he was created with me when he performed his shoddy work on me. To this day, I feel disfigured and am nowhere close to looking «normal.»
I created a brand new Unilocal account so that family and friends don’t know about, because I don’t want them to know how badly I feel about myself after having the operation. Thoughts of self doubt and depression have become uncontrollable at times. Having gone through this procedure with him has turned a minor insecurity into a flaring one. He is obviously not skilled enough be in this field and his greed is destroying people’s lives. I heard it was very difficult to become a plastic surgeon and he should not have made the cut. Do your research on you plastic surgeon people. I failed to do so and it’s one of the biggest regrets of my life. Does anyone know where this guy went to medical school? I wonder how many malpractice suits have been filed against him. If anyone has had bad experiences with this horrible plastic surgeon, please share them as well.
As I have said before, I really regret choosing him and if I could go back in time to undo this I would. I believe that this horrible experience with him has changed my outlook on life for the worse. If anyone has any questions I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for reading.
