Dr. Henry A. Mentz

Founded in 1996, the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery in Houston is a six-surgeon practice focused on aesthetic procedures. Its founding partner, Henry A. Mentz, has worked in Houston since 1991. The surgical center holds certification from the American Association for Accreditation of Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) and is licensed by the Texas Department of Health. Its surgical area includes five operating suites and seven overnight recovery suites, and every anesthesiologist the center works with is board-certified.

The adjoining medical spa has 14 aestheticians, registered nurses and nurse practitioners. Services include injectables such as Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra and Kybella; chemical peels, CO2 laser resurfacing, Fraxel and Ultherapy; body and skin treatments such as BodyTite, FaceTite, Morpheus8, IgniteRF, ThermiVA and miraDry; and laser hair removal, laser vein removal and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A concierge recovery service called Level Up Care provides prep and recovery support, checkup calls, and post-surgery visits from a registered nurse at home or in a hotel.

A visit begins with a consultation that includes a physical exam and before and after photos. Four private consultation rooms are equipped with computer or 3D imaging to show possible results. A minor procedures room offers ProNox nitrous oxide for comfort. The reception area has seating, water, coffee, snacks, educational materials and a large TV screen.

The practice is privately paid and does not take insurance. Quoted procedure prices cover anesthesia, facility charges and surgeon time, but the final amount may differ depending on how complex the work is or which procedures are combined, and combining procedures can change the price. Surgical fees are due in full no fewer than 10 business days before the procedure. Patients may apply for financing through CareCredit or PatientFi, with approval required.

A portion of medical spa profits goes to local and international medical missions through the Mentz Foundation. The foundation has supported medical missions in Roatan, Honduras, and donated school supplies to Sandy Bay Alternative School. The practice reports a 4.9-star rating from 270 reviews.

Consultations include a physical exam and before and after photos, and the practice describes its surgeons as award-winning.
