I have been going to Dr. Tam for YEARS. She has changed my face completely! I had lots of scaring from years of acne and now I am so comfortable and confident in my own skin all thanks to her and her team! I don't even wear make up daily! Over the years, I have had multiple laser skin resurfacing and peel treatments with no complications. Now, I go in every 6 months for a chemical peel to keep my skin fresh. The office is beauty, the staff is amazing and I love her assistant Gail! I don't let anyone else touch my face expect for Dr. Tam! More

I highly recommend Plastic Surgery Vegas for any procedure you are considering. I trust, respect, and admire the expert team at Plastic Surgery Vegas. I have been a loyal patient for over 20 years because of their high quality service and results their team provides. In my opinion, their team has the most qualified, knowledgeable and reputable team available. I have had procedures with Dr. Higgins, all outcomes were so successful. He has a positive, scientific mind in conjunction with his creative talent and concern for his patients makes him the best surgeon. He pays such close attention to detail, which separates him from a good surgeon to a great surgeon. He is conservative and honest on all consultations in which I truly appreciate. I have also seen Dr. Tam for 10+ years for extensive sun damage to my skin. She has completely transformed my injured skin with her expertise, knowledge and knowing the best treatments for her clients' skin over several years. Dr. Tam is exceedingly talented and also pays such attention to the details of your skin and your desired outcome. She also cares that her patients are healthy and is always so thorough in detecting pre-cancer/cancer conditions. I have seen Dawn, the lead aesthetician for almost 20 years and she is such a sold member of the Plastic Surgery Vegas team. She is so knowledgeable about all aspects of the skin and provides great recommendations, skin care and maintenance necessary to maintain healthy skin. Dawn always goes above and beyond to try and accommodate her patients needs. She also has a sincere concern about her patients well being and works hard to accommodate her patients. Dawn is so knowledgeable well beyond her field of expertise. Shona is also an expert in her field. I have seen Shona for over 10 years and have been so satisfied with her recommendations and results. She is so talented and knowledgeable regarding her area of expertise. All my experiences with Shona have been superb. I have never had a negative experience and feel like she does such an amazing job every time I see her. All Plastic Surgery Vegas Doctors, aestheticians, and administrative team are extremely hard working, have a superb work ethic and truly care about the patients in their practice. I admire how effective they coordinate with one another to offer the finest service available to their patients. I highly recommend any Plastic Surgery Vegas expert based on my results over the past 20 years. I am 60 years old and don' t want to look 45 - I just want to look and feel the best I can for 60 years old. Thank you Plastic Surgery Vegas. More

Dr. Alison Tam and her entire staff are amazing! I have been dealing with rosacea for over 25 years and have never had it under control until Dr. Tam started treating me about a year ago. I had pain from the amount of capillaries that were at the surface of the skin on my face and chest. I couldn't even enjoy any activity outside in the sun because of my rosacea. I can't count the number of doctors and creams I have used in the past. Dr. Tam set a realistic plan and explained what I should expect with laser treatments. I completely trust Dr. Tam. Their office has the latest equipment and she thoroughly explains everything in great detail. I am so pleased with my results! I also decided to use the Active FX laser and get rid of some wrinkles too! The aftercare I received during all of my treatments was amazing. Her staff Julie, Gail, and Whitney all helped make sure I healed properly and Kelly made sure all my many appointments were scheduled conveniently. I then decided to use a small amount of fillers and botox with Kim. She has such an eye for detail that I assumed she was an artist. Kim listened to my wishes and helped me achieve the results that were right for me. At all times I felt I was being taken care of and treated with genuine kindness. I have not worn face make-up in 4 months. It's so nice not to feel the need to cover my face with layers of make-up. I started using the few products she suggested and I love them too! I know that I will always be dealing with roscea, but now I have a doctor who can help me keep it under control. Right now my skin feels and looks awesome! More

Dr Tam is the Best Dermatologist! My daughter and I love her for skin care and hair. Seonaid was recommended by my one of my friends and I've been going to her for botox for years. She's gentle and has always made me feel comfortable during my procedure. More

I am incredibly fortunate to have found Dawn. I am incredibly profound about her experience in skincare, and her etiquette is absolutely delightful. Firstly, the office is undeniably stunning and welcoming. It is well kept, and the decor is elegant and clean. They made sure to maintain covid-19 compliance with a thorough check-in and screening process. The front desk staff were uplifting and accommodating. Dawn is extremely professional yet amicable! She will make you feel at ease and earn your trust with her extensive knowledge of the products she uses and the procedures she performs. Not only does she provide stellar treatments, but she takes time to educate you on what she is doing and what outcome she is striving for. Dawn listens to your concerns and expectations. She works with you as an individual and makes a perfect plan for your end result goals. If you seek younger-looking, clean, and glowing looking skin, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with your results after just one session with Dawn. More

I was referred to Dr. Higgins by My well trusted surgeon in Chicago. And he is absolutely brilliant. Very happy with the work I've gotten done. Ashley is also great for cool sculpting. And Seonaid is the best injections person I have seen. I won't go to anyone else for my lips and botox. Absolutely recommend. More

I started coming to Plastic Surgery in 2015 when I had breast augmentation done by Dr. Edwards. That experience was as professional as it gets from the consultation, to pre-operative protocols, to the day of surgery, to recovery, to follow ups. ALL the staff at both their office as well as at the attached surgery center were courteous, friendly and professional. I continued to go to Plastic Surgery Vegas for other skin care out-patient services (thank you Julie and Kim for being awesome). Last December (2019) I decided I wanted a rhinoplasty and after reading up on Dr. Silver I decided on a consult with him and I am so glad I did. My experience was just as wonderful as it was with Dr. Edwards. Dr. Silver is not only professional but compassionate and takes his time with all that he does with his patients. He is thorough and meticulous. Nothing is rushed and everything is accounted for. I am 8 months out from my nose job (and added chin implant on the advice of Dr. Silver for esthetic reasons [thumbs up on that recommendation!]) and my follow ups with Dr. Silver are no less professional than with Dr. edwards. He explains everything and is very patient with me as nose jobs can take up to 2 years to show true and final results and I would often get impatient but he explains and makes everything make sense. I continue to be 100% satisfied with Plastic Surgery Vegas and highly recommend. More

Very calming and caring, professional place. The staff is great and the doctors are amazing. They genuinely care about each patient and it is reflected in their bedside manner. Dr. Edwards and his MA’s, Cathy and Jacqueline, work so well as a team to make the office experience comfortable and exciting. They are very knowledgeable and it is evident that they have worked together for A long time. I look forward to office visits with the physicians in this office because throughout my journey each one of them has become a dear friend to me. They have been there with me in my time of discontent (before surgery), pain and helplessness (recovery) , And joy (follow ups after surgery). I had a remove replace breast augmentation with mastopexy and site change with dr Edwards 3 years ago and could not be happier with my results ! I also had an abdominoplasty with dr silver 18 months ago and am beyond happy with my results and still amazed with how natural he made my belly button look. The icing on the cake for me is the genuine loving nature of the physicians/staff in this office, and I have more than just met all of them. I have also had the privilege of working with them and seeing their work first hand while it's being performed as well as the results on myself. I consider myself very blessed to have crossed paths with this great group of people and look forward to each encounter I have with them. Now that my surgeries are complete, I go to the office for minor things like sclerotherapy, mole excisions, facials, etc. my office encounters are always very welcoming and I love seeing all the sweet smiling faces and catching a hug from those I’ve become close with (those who have seen me in all my glory 🤣). To each and every person in this office .... Thank you! A special shout out to the each and every staff member along with every physician at the office. Your genuine caring nature is what sets you apart from every other office I’ve stepped foot into. Thank you or being you! More

I had been in Beverly Hills and had Laser Lipo at Elite Body. After staying in a hotel for 5 days and seeing the Dr. before I flew back to NYC, the Dr. said to me, "you should have had a tummy tuck". I was stunned, why wouldn't he have told me before I paid $17,000.00. It is not a fix, it is a band aid and it does not work. My husband and I were on our way to Las Vegas and I spoke with my closest friends whose husband happens to be an emergency room doctor. I had asked her hypothetically, that if I were in the market for a tummy tuck who would she recommend. I was told that Dr. Higgens.was the best! I was so lucky to get an appointment, we were only going to be in Las Vegas for 3 days. After meeting Dr. Higgens, my husband turned to me and said, "this is who you are using". I had 3 other consultations set up for Miami and NYC., I did not go any further than Dr. Higgens. Dr. Higgens is a GREAT listener, which is very important when you are having surgery, especially plastic surgery. He was frank in what results I could expect and what not to expect. I also decided to do my lower eye bags. I had them done in 1997 and there was loose skin. I booked my surgery and a month later we were back. Surgery went great! I had the nurse for 2 nights. I rented a reclining lounge chair and had that delivered to the hotel. BEST WAY TO SLEEP AFTER A TUMMY TUCK! Saw him the next day and I was doing great. Before leaving Vegas I developed a seroma, which is caused by your own body, not anyone's fault. Dr. Higgens treated me with a sonogram, and we drained the seroma every few days. I had Dr. Higgens cell phone number and if I need to reach out to him, I did not have to go through an answering service, I was able to text him. Wish ALL doctors were this way! It has been two years since the tummy tuck. I had my backside lifted last summer, and recently had my implants replaced. Dr. Higgens has done all 3 surgeries. I am happy BEYOND words!!! Two of my friends from NYC have already booked consultations for later this year. I can't stress enough what an incredible doctor he is. Compassionate, kind, honest, and has tremendous patience, he is also a friend. His staff is THE BEST! Laura is his nurse for the office, LOVE HER! She does pre-op and post-op and everything in between. I texted her with every little thing before bothering the doctor. Kristin is one of his surgical nurses and she is wonderful as well. It is 2 years now since the tummy tuck, I have had a list on my back side to compliment the tummy tuck, as well as having my breast implants replaced. I wish he was in NYC, I would have at least 20 new patients for him. As I have told all my friends...a good doctor is extremely hard to find. I am NOT someone who needs "hand holding", if you are a person that needs reassurance and "hand holding" you will NOT find anyone better than Dr. Higgens! He truly cares about his patients. He is extremely conservative. I wanted to touch up a spot on my leg that had lipo, I was told I needed to wait the 6 months. There are plenty of doctors that would have said ok, quite honestly why jeopardize the results after 6 weeks, heeling process takes 3 to 6 months. I have used the practice for a peel, CO2, as well as facials when I am in town. EVERYONE in the practice, from the girls at the desk, to the nurses, doctors are GREAT! Always greeted with hello, how are you and most importantly a smile. For those looking to have work done, I would suggest going for a consultation with Dr. Higgens. I can promise you that he will undoubtedly be your first choice. More

Dr. Alison Tam and her assistant, Gail, helped me remove a horrible spot on my skin. I didn't know where to turn and was apprehensive about its removal. They were so kind and gentle. The removal was a great success and painless. The follow up calls really made me feel they care about their patients. I highly recommend this office. More

Dr. Higgins and his staff are exceptional! I have never waited more than 10 minutes in the lobby, always been greeted by professional, friendly staff and enjoyed my experience at Anson, Edwards and Higgins (which is really saying something because I don't like going to the doctor). The only aspect of this practice that is better than the staff is, of course, the physicians. I have been a patient for several years and have been thrilled with the outcome of my surgery and, later, Botox and Juviderm injections. In each case, the outcome has been natural looking and earned me compliments. Dr. Higgins is a true and consummate professional. I will remain a patient for years to come. More

Active FX Laser Resurfacing - Las Vegas, NV - The Active FX laser gave me great results without all the terrible side effects of the old CO2 laser I had years ago. The price range depends on which areas you have done.Yes, it feels like some rubber bands snapping on your face, but my doctor did a great job of numbing my face and the application is so much faster than the other lasers I've had done. I would definitely recommend it. Does smooth out the skin, tighten pores, and you can do face, neck, chest, eyes, and hands. After the procedure, I have experienced NO discomfort or pain and have not taken any pf the pain medication prescribed for me. I feel great. More
