Pretty confident I was an eyelid experiment in 2012. My eyelid and prosthetic are no longer functional. I have continuous infections, drainage, and swelling. When I meet people the first thing I am asked is what is wrong with my eye. I am now a freak. Shame on me for not doing more research and asking more questions. Big shame on me for letting someone convince me I needed my appearance "fixed". Other than that, the office staff was amazing and the environment very calming.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and an overall great experience.

Dr. Joe is a fantastic surgeon. He performed a breast augmentation on me in June 2017. I could not be happier with my results. My breasts look & feel natural and better than ever. My new body has given me confidence through the roof! Dr. Joe & his nurses make you feel like you're their #1 patient from your first consultation to your follow up appointments. Nurse Karen went above and beyond for me. I am very pleased with my experience and results with Dr. Joe & Plastic Surgery Innovations. I highly recommend going to Dr. Joe.

Dr. Joe removed a painful area of fascia that had been causing major nerve pains and deformity after multiple previous surgeries in the area. The results were fantastic! He seems to genuinely care about his patients. Lori, one of his assistants, is very peppy and empathetic. They are all fantastic listeners. Their office is gorgeously decorated and comfortable.

I have had nothing less than an amazing experience with Dr. Joe and staff!

Dr. Allison Bergdoll

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Joe professionally for the past 7 years. Dr. Joe's plastic surgery work is astounding and impressive. Even more importantly, Dr. Joe cares of each of his patients like they are a member of his own family. I would trust him completely to work on myself or anyone in my family.

Everyone is so friendly! Dr joe did an amazing job, and Karen is so sweet and helped with any questions I had.

Friendly staff and am completely happy with my breast augmentation . Just make sure you have clear instructions if your surgery runs late, they lock the doors after hours, and it can be confusing for your transportation.

Jannine Ramirez

Dr. Joe was part of my cleft team. He performed numerous surgeries to repair my bilateral cleft lip and palate. The passion and concern he has for his patients is astounding. I am so thankful for him. Thank you Dr. Joe..

I got my surgery done on the 28th of December.. I loved the staff the doctor is an amazing person. I'm almost 30 years old I have never had surgery or stitches on my body before, so I was probably little too much when they took the stitches out and the drain tubes out yet they were very patient and caring they worked with me through my anxiety and fear. I'm so happy I chose dr. Joe to work on my body it is day 11 and my surgery already looks amazing. yes it still have sowllen and I can't wait for it to heals up. I recommend dr joe and his staff. you won't regret the experience with them.

I absolutely love Dr. Joseph and his wife Lori! They have been so amazing to work with! I appreciate how they were understanding to my needs and they went beyond what any other office would do. Dr. Joseph is very passionate about his care he provides to his patients. You will not be disappointed! The team he has is also amazing! I look forward to my visits!!

Plastic Surgery Innovations is THE ONLY place I trust to take good care of me. Dr. Joe Mlakkar does an excellent job and I love the staff also. I've had multiple procedures done and I am very pleased with the results every time. I won't go anywhere else.

Amanda Merchant

Dr. Mlakar is a great doctor and surgeon! I had Rhinoplasty and he exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mlakar and his staff were very friendly and caring. I felt very comfortable at every appointment. Anytime I would call with questions, they were always quick to respond. I am so glad I choose Dr. Mlakar. He did an amazing job and if I ever decided to do any other procedure I will choose him!

Tyra Poindexter

This was the best decision that I could have ever made. I’m about 3 weeks in from my Tummy Tuck and I couldn’t be more happy. The support from the team was so amazing and Dr. Joe’s work was superb. Everything went as it was explained. I feel like I’m a new me!

Phil Ruckman III

All I can say is I am absolutely happy with my experience and the staff is absolutely. If you’re considering a procedure, I definitely recommend

This MD did an eye lift for me about 4 years ago and here is my experience: 1. My surgery was on Thursday. The surface stitches were removed the next Monday, which was the most painful physical experience I've ever had! I was left w/1 eye wider open than the other. "Dr. Joe" offered to do the lesser-open eye again. I declined, because I had trusted him to do it properly the first time. 2. As a result of the surgery, I now have a scar above 1 eye which runs from the inside corner of my nose to the far outer corner of that eye. It is noticeable. 3. I also had my drooping ear lobes trimmed & asked that my ears be re-pierced during the surgery. When alert after the surgery, instead of gold posts, I found black thread hanging from my ears instead, which I was left to keep in my ears for several weeks as I tried to encourage healing.

My 1st visit I walked out questioning whether I picked the right guy for my surgery because Dr. Joe kind of rubbed me the wrong way with an answer to a question that I asked. I now know he was probably just having an off day and hey Doc's are allowed or I just read something into it that I shouldn't have. I kept my faith in what all my other doctors told me that he does great work. I told my husband well as long as he does good work I don't care. Well let me tell you from the 2nd visit I now love this man and I am so glad that I picked him. He is the most genuine, loving, caring man. He cares about his patients and he always makes me feel like I am special to him. He also has a great sense of humor and has a bedside manner like no other. I feel like I have met a friend not a doctor. Now I suppose I should get to his work. I had what I thought a very extensive surgery. I still have a couple of more surgeries upcoming but I am very happy with my results so far. He does beautiful work. Shannon, one of his right hand people is wonderful. Hit it off with her immediately and love her a lot. His entire staff is very nice and helpful. The only reason I didn't give him 5 stars is because I am not finished with him yet so I thought I guess something could happen but I doubt it. I am sure when I am done I will give him 6 stars

Cynthia Bane-Hess

The best plastic surgeon ever. I would go no where else. Dr. Joe does beautiful work.

Dan Miller

I've been a patient for a little over 3 years, & I've had multiple procedures done including a face lift with minor adjustments that followed, especially with my eyebrows/tightening of skin. I had always felt that I did not measure up appearance wise, & my emotional stability was certainly affected. Since Dr. Joe has taken the time to invest in me (& my issues & concerns), I have had an emotional lift that was beyond my expectations. Not only has Dr. Joe done all of this, but his office staff has been overwhelmingly supportive, & stayed by my side while I was healing. They constantly checked on my healing process, & made sure that I used the products that were needed during this time. I have had countless number of people come up to me and say, "Wow! You look great!" None of them knew that Dr. Joe had taken me under his wing, including his office staff. Tina has been my personal care coordinator, & cheerleader, but the entire staff, especially Kay & Lori, have gone above & beyond.

Chelsea Joley

Dr. Joe removed my daughter's extra fingers. He did an outstanding job! His staff was super helpful and answered any and all of my silly questions that I had. I would definitely recommend his office. The environment was very clean and comfortable. Thank you Dr. Joe and staff!!!

Ellen Schlatter

I recommend Dr. Joe to anyone in need of a great plastic surgeon. He is the very best in the Fort Wayne area. Dr. Joe and his staff are caring, respectful and personable, making you feel valued as a patient. His assistant Shannon is delightful and such an asset to Plastic Surgery Innovations.

Lindsey Conscience

This is by far the best plastic surgeon around! His wife is absolutely a solid force in the entire workings right along with the doc himself! They beat all odds! I would only ever recommend this team for any plastic surgery needs. My daughter first needed an entire cranium reshape as she was born with it growing oddly. Several years later I went back to have a past c-section fixed. Both times they treated my entire family as a whole unit in the decision and planning processes. The hospitality and bed side manner is superb!

Tina Papenbrock

Dr Jo is very very nice doctor!
