"Dr. Funk is the man! I was very nervous about the way my nose would look after having surgery...what if it looked worse...what if I didn’t look like me. From the time I met the staff at Funk Facial Plastic Surgery as well as Dr. Funk, I got the immediate impression that this team is a very oiled machine. The entire process from start to finish was quick and easy. Everything happened exactly the way they told me it would and Dr. Funk worked his magic on my nose. I can never express how thankful I am for the way I look and feel at only a month after my procedure. I have so much more confidence and can look in the mirror without staring at my nose that I thought looked broken. This was something I have wanted since I was 12 years old and now it’s finally here. I can breathe better and I feel like I look more like my sisters and brother now. Thank you all so very much for helping me through this!"
"This is THE Doctor, guys. If you are obsessive about quality like me, you are probably searching all over to zero-in on the right doctor for your cosmetic procedure. You’re probably considering things like quality of care, experience, staff and surgeon professionalism, price, and (most importantly) excellence of aesthetic results. Dr. Funk hits perfect scores in all departments. For a hard-to-please type like myself, I almost couldn’t believe it; and trust me when I say, my procedure could not have been an easy one. I had a rhinoplasty procedure done, and I came at Dr. Funk with a (bordering on unreasonable) list of requests: I wanted a narrower nose, but one that still kept my ethnic identity intact, but also complemented my thick-skinned complexion, AND looked not the least bit operated upon. Dr. Funk listened attentively, looked me right in the eye, and after a couple of questions and statements about expectations and working with him, told me he was confident he could achieve all of our (now shared) goals. When he said it, I believed him - and he didn’t let me down. This man has changed my life. It has been nearly a year since my procedure, and every time I come in for check-ups I want to shake his hand profusely and just say “thank you thank you thank you” like a dope. The staff is attentive and understanding about any anxiety or questions you may have. They don’t let you forget that they are always there for you. In short, I just want to remind you that finding the right plastic surgeon is a major decision - one of the biggest you’ll ever make. Do right by yourself and go meet Dr. Funk."
"I chose Dr. Funk for my procedure because I saw that he specializes on areas above the neck... nose, skin, ears, etc. (Vs. “doing a little bit of everything”). I had difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum caused by a car accident so I had a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty. After surgery I was amazed at how fast I was able to recover, I can breathe perfectly now and my nose is very aesthetically pleasing. Also the staff is very friendly, Leah was very informative during my consultation, she was down to earth and knowledgeable. His team made me feel at ease right before my operation as well. I had a great experience :) I would definitely recommend Dr. Funk."
"The office staff is very friendly and accommodating, I’ve never had an issue. I love the fact that Dr. Funk is very personable and cares about his patients. I noticed he doesn’t use a nursing staff therefore any procedure you have all your checkups are done with him, even if it’s as simple as removing stitches he’s right there to always be on top of your healing and progress. I had a rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and sinuplasty and during my recovery from anesthesia he came out and spoke to my family to reassure them I was okay and that everything went as planned. He called the next day after surgery to check on me. These small acts really are what makes him different than any other doctor I’ve dealt with. He is very active in your recovery. A year later and my nose is BEAUTIFUL! Overall the experience was great and I would recommend Dr. Funk to anyone!"
"Dr. Funk is awesome! He worked with me on what I wanted for a rhinoplasty and gave me multiple versions of a new nose to choose from. He was patient with my concerns and really made sure that I would be happy with the result. The day of the surgery went well! I was in and out and went home to heal. The healing process was quick and I was out in public after just 9 days. 5 weeks later, I am still thrilled with the results. I can't recommend Dr. Funk enough!"
"Exceptional experience! I am one month out of Rhinoplasty and couldn't be happier. Dr. Funk's office staff are courteous, professional, and very helpful. They have been a huge help for me through the entire process. I had a thorough evaluation with Dr. Funk. He really took his time explaining my condition and recommending the best approach to fix it. He took pre-op pictures and used software to show me exactly how everything would look and function post-op. At one month out my nose looks exactly the way he said it would and I have full functionality. My only regret is I should have done this years ago! Highly recommend."
"Six weeks out from my rhinoplasty I have amazing results. Surgery was easy, recovery was difficult, and the results are wonderful. I had a very large, long, protruding hawk-like nose with a long hanging tip, wide nostrils and a prominent shelf-like bridge. My nose was my face. I knew I was self-conscious of it but did not realize the full extent until now. My new nose is soft, small, feminine and in harmony with my face. Honestly I gave no serious input about my "problems" with my nose during my consultation because it is clear from Dr. Funk's gallery of Before and After Rhinoplasty that he is a skilled surgeon and has an eye for editing facial features. Dr. Funk is double board certified and very professional. I found his attitude and demeanor pleasant and straight forward. The office staff are all very pleasant and professional. I feel weightless now. I never realized quite how strongly I was affected by underlying feelings about my appearance."
"Dr. Funk is the best! Went to his office for a rhinoplasty consultation; a month later I was having the rhinoplasty done. He exceeded my expectations! I am very pleased and LOVE my results. Dr. Funk is very kind and professional as is his staff. Recovery was quick and painless. Thanks to him my self confidence has boosted. Highly recommend Dr. Funk!!!"
"I went to Dr. Funk for rhinoplasty originally; at my consultation Dr. Funk informed me that I had a slight deviated septum and a slight hump on my bridge along with wider than normal passages ways in my nose. Funk described in full detail what he could help me with, as well as, my personal concerns. My experience with Dr. Funk has been incredible, absolutely no complaints. He was very thorough and detailed with all information pre-surgery and post-surgery. Dr. Funk and his entire staff and surgical team make you feel right at home and are more than happy to answer any questions or concerns. I am ecstatic with my results and I would recommend Dr. Funk to everyone looking for facial changes."
"It's been three months since I had my rhinoplasty, I'm very pleased with the results. Dr. Funk has excellent bedside manners, he always addressed any concerns. His staff is wonderful as well, the girls are always helpful and polite. Before the surgery I had my doubts. I have thick skin which makes surgery a bit more challenging and results are unpredictable. However Dr. Funk is an expert in this field I had full faith in him and he didn't dissapoint."
"I can truthfully say that I can’t identify a problem that I had with this group.. not even one. I love the team’s efficiency and flexibility. I especially like Dr. Funk’s approach during visits. He comes in, does what he needs to do, listens to concerns, and lets you go. There’s not a bunch of wasted time with meaningless small talk that no one really wants to do or has time for. That’s my style, for sure. I am very pleased with my rhinoplasty outcome."
"I developed a basil-cell carcinoma on my ear. Following Moh's surgery to successfully remove the affected area (it looked like Mike Tyson had bitten off part of my ear), Dr. Funk rebuilt the ear to a normal appearance. Friends who were following my progress say that it's hard to determine that there was an issue at all. Dr. Funk did an outstanding job of reconstructing the missing tissue and cartilage. I highly recommend his services; very professional and caring."
"I would like to take this moment to extend a special thanks to Dr. Funk. He is simply the greatest! For the first time after a long period, I can actually breathe easily without whistling! I really appreciate his friendship and utmost professional approach in solving my breathing problem."
"I am a 49 years old male and have been suffering with breathing difficulties for the past 5 years after two unsuccessful nasal surgeries. Beforehand, I sought many opinions (around 10) from well-known physicians around the Houston Medical Center before meeting Dr Funk. I established criteria in ranking each physician’s abilities and willingness to care for my problem. Unfortunately, my assessment indicated that none of the physicians demonstrated a precious and complete understanding of my problem and/or how to move forward with a treatment plan. This was the case until I met Dr. Funk during Fall of 2011. From the very first visit, I came to realize that not only he is extremely sincere and caring towards his patients but very meticulous with his treatment plan."
"In my opinion, nothing is too important to him besides his patients’ welfare. While examining me, he highlighted several important surgical corrections and the associated risks that I would need to understand before the surgery would be scheduled. I was told by my wife that the surgery lasted almost 5 hours and according to Dr. Funk, my case was one of the most difficult case that he encountered in 2011/2012 (among the top 3 he said)! It has been almost 6 weeks since my surgery. My breathing has improved significantly. My septum perforation has also healed with no problem. During the last six weeks, I have visited Dr. Funk once a week. He always smiled and carefully examined me to ensure that I am on the right recovery path. His staff is great and always worked hard to get me in right of way. Overall, my experience has been fantastic and I would highly recommend Dr. Funk without any reservation. If you are looking for a sincere, energetic, talented and honest facial doc, you owe it to yourself to see Dr. Funk. In a short and in my opinion, there is no one better in Houston when it comes to nose treatments."
"Absolutely the best! I highly recommend Dr. Funk. Between a third to half of my nose was removed due to skin cancer. It was up to Dr. Funk to put me back together and he did! Post surgery and to this day, none of my closes friends and relatives have noticed anything different. The only way they know is if I tell them. So put yourself in the good hands of Dr. Funk and his staff!"
"Dr. Funk is a true master at his craft! I had an old break that didn't heal correctly, a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates, and he knew exactly what do to at first glance. He is efficient and extremely knowledgable, and his office staff is friendly, professional and also very knowledgeable! I knew exactly what to expect before, during and after surgery. I can breathe and smell now better than ever. But most of all, I am AMAZED at how he corrected the bump on my nose and the overall after-look. I still look like me, just better! I would refer him 1,000x over."
"I went to Dr. Funk because he was one of the best-reviewed surgeons in the area. I felt completely confident in his abilities and he didn't disappoint. His staff were also a huge help throughout the process and always make you feel comfortable. I had a deviated septum and I didn't like the profile of my nose and now I can breathe better and am much more confident. I highly recommend this doctor!"
"I cannot recommend Dr. Funk enough. He is a literal god. I finally bit the bullet and put my face in Dr. Funk’s hands. After years of watching his reviews and even having a friend go to him, I decided to choose Dr. Funk as my plastic surgeon.
My results are even better than I could have possibly imagined! I had a deviated septum and bulbous tip. I took Dr. Funk's advice and also had my nostrils taken in. I am so happy with everything he did. The entire process was seamless. Like everyone says, Leah is so awesome and so down to Earth.
I am two weeks and two days post op and I am already in love with my nose. All of my incisions are healed like nothing ever happened. I was very nervous about scarring since reducing the nostrils requires extra exterior incisions. Like I said, everything healed so quickly. I followed every single thing I was told to do and I continue to follow the post op instructions. The first night I had lots of bleeding but I was expecting that. I did throw up some blood that night but it was because I was not propped up high enough.
Day 2-4 were probably the worse but I really didn't have any pain. It's more like lots of pressure which was very uncomfortable. I also had a terrible headache and I continue to have one slightly. All of that was helped with over the counter meds and the Tylenol 3's. I didn't bruise/swell until the 3rd and 4th day. At exactly two weeks I didn't have any bruising or swelling (on my face). My nose is still swollen and will be for an entire year but no one thinks it looks swollen. My friends were so impressed!
My results are so natural and exactly what I wanted, a better version of my own nose. I could not be happier! Oh I can't forget to add: I CAN BREATHE SO MUCH BETTER. I didn't even know what it was like to breathe properly. I am so grateful I had such a positive experience.
If you are questioning where to go or even the slightest bit hesitant, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. FUNK! It was the best decision of my life." - RealSelf.com
