Andrew P Giacobbe, MD, FACS

This is my new favorite place for Botox! The staff is friendly, and the prices are on par with other area doctors. Dr. Giacobbe really took the time to listen to me and come up with a plan for the concerns that I expressed to him. The issue was addressed perfectly. I felt comfortable with him and his level of experience and he’s very nice! I will definitely be back and would recommend him.

This will do, pig. This will do.
I’m a little bit of a vanity smurf. Nothing out of the ordinary, I’m simply a woman who could be described as middle aged but prefers to believe I still look like I can pass for my 20’s. I still get IDed for alcohol and occasional rated R movie, so I’m fooling some people. I do avoid the sun and I moisturize like crazy. But the single most important thing I do for my skin is botox. Sweet Jesus, I love botox. Previous to earlier this year I got all my botox back in Seattle, with Washington state’s number one botox prescriber, who is a top rated plastic surgeon. He did my septoplasty a few years ago and was the one who pushed my first face poison. I’m grateful to him, his early detection of my wrinkles in my early 30’s and stopping them then has severely delayed other natural aging in my face. We moved to Buffalo this year though and I’ve been looking for a new dealer, if you will. I tried another one in Williamsville and was VERY disappointed, they did not give me what I paid for. I was starting to think I was going to need to go to NYC or Toronto to find another good plastic surgeon when someone recommended this one.
They currently charge $ 13.50 a unit of botox, which is a little more than I’m used to paying. Botox in a big city with a good plastic surgeon is usually $ 12-​ish a unit. You want to know how much you are paying per unit. I noticed from calling around to Buffalo area botox dealers that a lot of them charge by «area treated». Do not fall for that scam, always ask how much per unit and then question units needed. Dr. Giacobbe charges per unit of botox, so he’s on the up and up. The doctor also charges a $ 49 consult fee, but that is waved in to the price of your services if you are buying botox so it’s fair. It’s basically a «don’t waste my time» fee.
I was mildly put out because of the time the appointment took. I was spoiled in Seattle with being able to get in and get out quickly. Here, it was around an hour here, start to finish. Not the worst, but could be improved upon. The doctor told me I needed more units than I’ve ever been quoted before, but I am happy with his result so we’re cool. His needle HURT. The only other time botox hurt that bad I ended up getting black eyes from the needles so I was afraid the pain meant I was going to look like a raccoon for a week but I only got one teeny-​tiny bruise next to one of my eyes. It was easily covered with a little make-​up. I’ll trade a little needle pain for no eye wrinkles.
A week after my botox and my face was back to it’s frozen in time glory. I love being able to smile and not have crow’s feet. Botox is a couple hundred but it lasts 3 – 4 months. The downsides to it are that you can’t get it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. While no one believes poison injected in your face can harm a fetus, no one is willing to do the study group for that to find out.
I’m happy to have found a reliable, fairly priced provider in the Buffalo area. They also do the Brilliant Distinctions program so you get points towards your services. The other plastic surgeon I saw in Williamsville alleged to have done that, but never actually credited me my points. Dr. Giacobbe did give me my points. So, points to him for being awesome.

I visited with Dr. Giacobbe for a consult and instantly felt very comfortable with him and his staff. He was patient and made sure to answer any questions or concerns I had. I called after my procedure with a question and they scheduled to see me the same day. His staff are all just as pleasant as he is!
I am very pleased with the results and couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I highly recommend Dr. Giacobbe for anyone seeking his specialty medical procedures.
