Dr. Alan Larsen - Buckhead Plastic Surgery, Buckhead Location — Attraction in Sandy Springs

Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Larsen was horrible and I wish I knew then what I know now. This is in hopes to warn others. I had a rhinoplasty and under my eyes done. I was fine with the shape of my nose prior, but didn't like the length. After surgery, I have weird lines that go on the outside of each side of my ose close to my eyes. Also, my nostrils are crooked and are raised so that the middle part hangs low, there's no gradual slop ( looks like a round bubble at the bottom of my nose), and also my nostrils now indent on the sides ( it reminds me of Beavis and Butthead ). They showed me a computerized image of what we were going for in which I liked, but that did not happen. I'm more self conscious now than I was before. My eyes now lost their natural ease when I smile and look like I had work done. They look strained. I was told that this was a simple procedure and it would be a subtle change to make me look more youthful. When I returned for my 6 month appt, I was in tears when showing Dr. Larsen my before and afters that I had on my phone. He aknowledged that he saw what I was talking about. It was too soon to discuss what my options were to fix the situation because you have to be at least a year out after a rhinoplasty. When I came to my 1 yr, he said he couldn't do anything to help me and eventaully referred me to another Dr. who specializes in reconstructive surgeries. This Dr. will cost me about twice as much and isn't able to fix everything Dr. Larsen did wrong. They were quick to take my money and return my calls/ emails before the surgery, but trying to get some sort of response on how I can be compensated for what Dr. Larsen did took forever. I would wait weeks to get a response to my emails and would have to usually be the one to check in and to please have someone get back in touch with me. After several emails, it took them almost 6 months to let me know that they won't give me my money back or offer anything. The lady I spoke with brought up that they referred me to someone, as if I was supposed to be more grateful for that. She also said that unfortunately sometimes these things happen. I'm aware of that, but what I wish I was aware of before is how they would handle the situation if things didn't go well. Please take this into consideration before getting anything done with Dr. Larsen. If things don't go well ( which she mentioned happens) , be prepared to feel like you were hung out to dry and not shown empathy or compassion to what happens. There are hundreds of great surgeons out there. He was not one for me. I urge you to find someone and an office that treats you with compassion and isn't just supportive when things go their way. She even threatened legal issues with me if I left a bad review. The first photo below is before and the second is after.

Unfortunately, I can't get the photos to show when I post....I'll...

Words can’t even express how thankful I am for Dr Larsen and his entire nurse/surgical team.

I went to Dr Larsen back in July 2023 for a consult to get a breast reduction. I’ve always been unhappy with my breasts, and as a 32 year old with no children yet, I decided why continue to wait. I was extremely nervous to go to this consult, however the warm and professional bedside manner was unbeatable.

Fast forward to three weeks after, which was my pre op. Again, every staff member at BPS made not only made me feel comfortable in this decision, but also so confident in my decision. Dr Larsen took extra time with me during my pre op, which made me feel even better about the decision.

Surgery day. I can’t even explain my experience at Chastain Surgery Center. Is that place even real??? The most clean, beautiful, professional place I’d ever stepped into? Also, this was my first ever surgery. The place was a 10 out of 10. The vibes gave me zero anxiety leading up to my surgery, and again solidified why I made this decision. The nurses, the anesthesiologist, Dr Larsen, everyone. The best bedside manner, the most comforting process. I walked into the room in the surgery center, laid on the table for my surgery, and didn’t feel an ounce of anxiety. Wild.

Recovering was easy. Literally from waking up in the surgery center, and days to come. I’d do this surgery over again with the same process without a question.

My first post op- I cried and gave Dr Larsen a hug. The man and my decision of having this breast reduction has changed my life, and I am beyond thankful for him and the entire BPS team. Thank you for...

I had been considering breast augmentation for probably 10 years but wanted to wait until after kids so the final look wasn't affected. I researched and contacted no less that 30 plastic surgeons, looked at thousands of before&after pictures, and can honestly say I picked the one I would pick over and over again. Dr Larsen is so knowledgeable and his results looked the most natural in all the pictures. I met with Susie first for the consultation, and she is an absolute sweetheart and so helpful throughout the whole process (and me being indecisive, she met with me probably 3 times just to try on sizers!). I knew I wanted to book with them after all the research and meeting everyone at the office. Next I met with Dr Larsen and Renee for the pre-op where he told me exactly what size I could go up to, and what size would fit my frame best. The surgery went great, not much pain post op. I did have a hematoma burst a few days later, but he also is great with that procedure and all was better a week later. Each post op visit was wonderful, I knew exactly what I should be doing for the best results. The nurses and receptionist are the best as well! Kim always greets me with a smile and is sweet to my kiddos when I have to bring them to appointments. Overall, I LOVE my new breasts, they fit my body perfectly and I had an amazing experience with Buckhead Plastic Surgery and Dr Larsen. I wouldn't have gone with...
