Dr. Fontenot knows his stuff. And the nurses are incredibly gorgeous.

Dr. Bennetts office with his staff have been so amazing and a pleasure to get serviced at. Lindsey & Peyton have answered all and any questions I had. They are very knowledgeable and love the hard work these ladies give to their clients and myself. The office had many information on many services they offer and also their products are very well stocked and organized. They have been such a pleasure to work with and I truly love how they also have promotions and monthly specials. If you have been hesitant I recommend to give them a call and they will take care of you. Definitely recommend Weiler Plastic Surgery. Can’t wait to book my next service !!

I recently had a tummy tuck performed by Dr. Bennett Fontenot and I couldn't be happier with my results. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Dr. Fontenot and their team provided exceptional care both before and after my procedure. The pre-operative consultations were thorough and informative, addressing all my questions and concerns. Following surgery, their attention to my recovery was outstanding. The results have exceeded my expectations - I feel amazing and confident in my body again. If you're considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Fontenot. Their skill, professionalism, and compassionate approach made what could have been a stressful experience into a positive transformation.
