The kind of surgeon you hope you'll never need -- but feel incredibly lucky to find when you do. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Andres Taleisnik. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in expert hands -- but it wasn't just his impressive background (and yes, his resume is jaw-dropping). It was his calm, steady demeanor, his willingness to listen, and the way he spoke to me like a human being, not just another chart. I came in for carpal tunnel surgery after years of pain, numbness, and frustrating experiences that made me question whether I was being taken seriously. Dr. Taleisnik took one look at my tests and my story and confirmed what I had always known in my gut: the pain was real, and it was time to fix it -- for good. The surgery itself was precise, professional, and compassionate from start to finish. The incision was placed along the natural line in my hand -- I barely notice it now. He took great care to reduce trauma to surrounding tissue, and while recovery is always a journey, I've felt seen and supported every step of the way. Even the stitching -- which I initially thought looked "odd" -- was done with calculated expertise to reduce tension and promote faster healing. It worked. What sets Dr. Taleisnik apart isn't just his training (Princeton, UCLA, a fellowship at one of the top hand surgery centers in the country). It's the combination of that world-class skill with a humble, grounded bedside manner. He explains things clearly, without ego or condescension. He makes you feel like your recovery matters just as much as your results. As someone whose job depends on the use of my hands -- and as someone who deals with a lot of sensory sensitivity -- this surgery wasn't just about mobility. It was about dignity, survival, and getting my life back. Dr. Taleisnik made that possible. If you're in need of a hand surgeon, run, don't walk. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more qualified, thoughtful, and skilled surgeon anywhere in the country -- and believe me, I looked. Thank you, Dr. Taleisnik. For your hands, your heart, and your healing. I trusted you with my future -- and you gave it back to me I know for sure I'll probably be back in 2027 for my right hand. Thank you doc. read more

Please do not use this doctor at all for you cosmetic surgery. I had a thigh lift and liposuction on hips. After procedure I was draining like a faucet from my incisions. Every follow up I went with my husband and Dr. Talesnik continue to say is normal and it's the lidocaine. I ended up with a 104 fever and called him and said it was probably covid. When I arrived to the ER I was rushed right away and was asked if I went out of the country because I was botched. I said no, and gave them told them it was Dr. Taleisnik who performed it and is across the street. He came to the ER was so rude to everyone in the hospital and had the nerve to tell us and my nurse that he was working for free, which I have PPO and not to mention I payed him in cash $15k, for the procedure. They sat my husband down and while I was screaming due to the pain and crying. Doctors told my husband that I have a severe sepsis, and can lead to death. I had to get and emergency surgery and be reopened on the same area he performed for my thigh lift. He was rude to the nurses and my husband when off on him in a professional way and informed him he has no right to treat the medical staff that way but my life is in danger because of him. The OR team did t know what procedure they we're doing g on me and we're in shock of how unprofessional he was. I was so scared I was going to die. After surgery, I had to be given blood transfusion daily. The surgery was so painful and had to receive home care because he left me completely open. I fired him as my doctor for the hospital and seen another doctor. Doctor was in shock of what he did. It was the worse 5 months of my life. I couldn't walk and my husband was my caregiver. Now this happened in September 2021. I was left with severe scar tissue, and limited mobility. Now is 2023 and have to get surgery because not only could I have of died in 2021 because of him but now I have to get surgery due to the severe trauma of scar tissue he left for my thigh lift . This is so upsetting how he can get away with this. Please if you're planning to use do not. I beg do not. He almost cause me my life and now I got to surgery because of him. If you're Looking for a cosmetic surgeon, go to Dr. Robert Wald I'm Fullerton. I've used Dr Wald, but didn't this time because he was booked and I was Planning to look good for a vacation we had planned. But that vacation was cancele. The pictures I'm posting are not even the worse that I was left with. I can show the severity of the other ones due to the areas there at. I had these open holes which where all I've my panty line for 5 months. I hope that you reconsider this awful doctor and and don't become a victim like I did.

Don't let him touch you He ruined my life My entire panty line is completely scarred because of what he did to me. Don't be a victim and don't believe anything or his staff. His staff when I called to complain or would go to follow ups had the nerve to say I was dramatic and next thing you know I'm fighting for my life. Don't use him, even if you think he's given you deal, ask yourself what if this can be me? I can be a victim read more

Andres Taleisnik, MD - He scared me and that some of many holes that I Can't share - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Orange, California

See all

Well let me start by saying this office is completely unprofessional. The assistants Eunice and Linae are horrible. Eunice talks to you as if she is talking down to you. Linae is just after money and rolled her eyes when I said I wanted to think about having the procedure. The only positive was the girl at the front desk the other blonde girl I think her name was Anna or Amy was super sweet and opened the door for me even though she was on lunch to help me when I first came in. However the last appointment I went to she wasn't there anymore. Instead there was some girl there who was a complete jerk. So as you probably guessed no I won't be choosing him as my doctor. GET BETTER STAFF- DO BETTER. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Taleisnik enough. I came to him after looking for a couple of years at different plastic surgeons. After losing 180lbs, I had a lot of loose skin and need various skin removal surgeries. I did both free and paid consults with various surgeons from all around southern California and even out of state. I saw Instagram famous doctors, unknown doctors, checked review sites etc. and some of the worst consults I had were paid consults that were only 15 min long where they explained nothing and just wanted to book the surgery and get their money. My husband and I knew things were different the minute we met with Dr. Taleisnik. The consultation was free but he spent over an hour with us, explaining in great detail what his surgical approach would be given my specific case. He explained the different types of procedures, why he felt using a specific approach vs. others would be better given my situation and answered all of our questions. We knew after the initial consult that he was the doctor we wanted to go with. Not only because of his general bedside manner but his pricing was incredibly fair. In total, I have had three surgeries with him, starting in November 2023 and the most recent in June 2024. I initially had a felur-de-lis tummy tuck, my second surgery was an arm lift, and the third surgery was a mid-back lift and breast lift without implants. Because of the extent of the loose skin that I had, I was very understanding that there would be scars but I expressed to Dr. Taleisnik that it is very important to me that the scars be symmetrical and as straight as possible. He was very understanding and I am happy to report that all of my scars are healing incredibly well, they are very thin and straight. In addition to Dr. Taleisnik himself being a fantastic doctor, his office staff and nurses are also a joy to work with. Linae and Eunice are two of the most wonderful people. They are responsive, thoughtful, and attentive. Both the doctor and his nurses are incredibly fast at responding to texts with any concerns or questions. Post-surgery, the doctor called and texted multiple times over my recovery to check in with me. The aftercare I received from Dr. Taleisnik and his office was truly above and beyond. The surgery center that he uses (Main Street/Hoag) is right down the street from his office and everyone there is absolutely lovely and the nurses that see you in pre and post-op are gentle and caring. After having three surgeries with him, I would definitely recommend him to anyone I care about looking to get plastic surgery. As a general suggestion to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon: check with the CA medical board and the status of their license or to see if any action has been taken against them, make sure you understand the risks and complications associated with your desired surgery, and understand that even if a surgeon does everything correctly people heal/react to surgery in unexpected and unforeseen ways. I personally had three great experiences with Dr. Taleisnik and his office and he continues to be my plastic surgeon of choice. read more

Dr. Taleisnik is absolutely amazing. This was my second surgery with him and I refused to even look at another surgeon after such a positive experience after my first surgery. This time around, Dr. Taleisnik took out my implants and gave me a lift. I was so nervous to remove my implants after stories I heard from other women and their surgeons trying to change their mind. Dr. Taleisnik was nothing but supportive and encouraged me to do whatever I felt was best for myself! This is HUGE. His bedside manner is one of the major things that made me come back to him. I always feel reassured in whatever question I may have and knowing I am under his care. Between him and Linae, there is truly no better power duo. Forever grateful for this doctor and this practice. Thank you Dr. Taleisnik, you truly take all the worry out of finding a trustworthy surgeon who truly cares for his patients. read more

My experience with Dr Taleisnik has been the most wonderful experience with plastic surgery. Back in 2009, I went in for a consultation for a breast aumentation. I saw 2 other doctors before I decided to go with Dr Taleisnik. I chose him because I was educated about the procedure and the implants. Most imortantly, I felt safe and comfortable with him. He is very conservative with the size of the implants that made a more natural look with my saline implants. Fast forward to 2023, I decided that it was time to change out to my saline implants to silicone. (Note: there were no issues with my saline implants. They still looked and felt great.) With no hesitation, I went back to Dr Taleisnik. Went in for a consultation and chose the gummy bear implants. Again, I got amazing treatment from Dr Taleisnik and his long time assistant Linae. The process went very smoothly. The surgery center staff and experience was amazing. I felt taken care of from beginning to end. Post-op 1 month, I feel great and my results are amazing. I highly recommend Dr Taleisnik and his staff. Thank you Dr Taleisnik!!! read more

I absolutely recommend Dr. Taleisnik! I was sure I wanted a breast lift for years but I was nervous about the results. I found Dr.T and the before&afters were the best I'd seen. At each appointment he's been nothing but attentive and detail oriented, and I can tell that he bases everything around each individual body type and specific needs. My surgery scheduling and experience was so much easier than I ever imagined. I'm about a week post op now and I cry of joy every time I see myself. I'm looking forward to the recovery journey as my results get even better. I'm so grateful I went to Dr. Taleisnik and would recommend him to anyone wanting to make natural looking improvements to their body. :) read more

Had elbow surgery done by Dr. taleisnik, and it was fantastic! The folks at the clinic were super friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. Dr. taleisnik knows their stuff! They explained everything in a way that made sense, and I felt like I could trust them right from the start. The surgery went really well. Dr. taleisnik did an awesome job. They made sure I knew what to do afterward to get better. Their team checked up on me, and they were so helpful during my recovery. What's great about Dr. taleisnik is how much they care. They're not just about fixing things; they genuinely care about their patients. I'm so thankful to Dr. taleisnik and their team. My elbow feels loads better now, and I'd totally recommend Dr. taleisnik to anyone needing elbow help. Thanks a bunch for everything! I thought that I was not going to be able to lift heavy things for all my life but all that changed when I met Dr. taleisnik. Would 1,000,000/10 would recommend. read more

Updating my review, 4 years later because I seriously could cry at times from how BAD my breast healed over the years. My boobs look no where near what did they did the first months. My boobs clamp up into a weird stiff ball when I flex in any slight way. They're not proportionate at all, one of my aerolas is dramatically higher than the other. I'm SO insecure about my breast, the only reason I got a breast augmentation was to feel more confident about my breast and now I could say I used to feel way more confident before my breast were ruined! I now have to find another surgeon who will reconstruct my boobs and fix all my problems that my surgery with Dr Taleisnik left me. Please please DO YOUR RESEARCH before trusting a doctor with your body!! read more

Well, after doing my due diligence by interviewing (yes I interviewed) several plastic surgeons (for a tummy tuck), I made the BEST decision in putting my trust in Dr. Taleisnik!! During my interviewing process I found that there are multiple considerations that took place for me to ultimately go with Dr. Taleisnik; I walked into fabulous medical offices all across Southern California, some with marble floors and beautiful chandeliers. I was offered sparkling beverages, delicious snacks and was met by near perfect looking "coordinators". ** I asked to first speak with potential surgeons however EVERY time I was advised an appointment would be necessary. Some charged a fee some did not** During the times I interviewed the surgeons I found most to be friendly and listened (or pretended to) what I was wanting to "fix". ALL of the surgeons I met with offered additions procedures that they thought would be complimentary/needed for my surgery ($$$). Some suggested a ton of liposuction ($$), that I needed a breast augmentation ($$$) and one even suggested a butt lift!! That said, I found Dr. Taleisnik, and what a breath of fresh air! First of all this was during Covid when VERY few doctors were physically seeing patients. Dr. Taleisnik FIRST set up a telephone call to discuss my TT. From there he arranged a virtual appointment ON A SATURDAY no less. Once I felt he was ACTUALLY listening to me, I made an in-person exam. His office was no frills which I actually respected. He was honest and he educated me on the process and what to expect. He seemed conservative in his work and what I could expect once the surgery was done. None of these unrealistic expectations and NO UP SELLING!! His fees were absolutely fair and reasonable unlike others I consulted with. I had my surgery done by Dr. Taleisnik a little over four months ago. To say I'm estatic is an understatement. From our first telephone call to post-op, he and is assistant Linae, were kind, professional, caring and took the best care of me. Sorry for the rambling ...if you are looking for a plastic surgeon (in my case a TT expert), you would be short selling yourself if you didn't consult with Dr. Taleisnik!! read more

He has done 3 hand surgeries on me and each time I'd have questions or concerns, he would answer them and not make me feel silly for asking them. Even when he seems to be in a hurry, he'll answer all your questions. read more

Dr. Taleisnik is professional, comforting and knowledgeable. After much research, I decided to email with questions about my issues and revision. Dr. Taleisnik responded soon after, answering my questions through multiple emails. When I went in for my consult, right away, I was comforted and reassured by his patience, input and suggestions for my revision. Linae, his assistant, was also easy to work with, answering my questions and helping with appt times. The revision went well. Dr. Taleisnik even called that evening to make sure I was feeling well. The small personal touches meant everything!! 6 months post-op, I am VERY HAPPY with my results. Highly recommend! read more

I am beyond happy with my results. Dr. Taleisnik did a mini lift with implants. He cut around the areola and inserted the implants through there. I have minimal scarring and my breasts look amazing. We were between sizes and I trusted him to pick which one looked best once I was in the OR. He picked perfectly. I have total trust and faith in him. He also did a tummy tuck, which turned out perfect. My healing process was much more quick than I anticipated. He was precise and thoughtful with everything he did and it shows. Him and his staff were constantly available for my many questions. They would return my messages within minutes. I highly recommend him. His pricing was excellent as well, if that is a concern. read more

I got a breast lift with Dr. Taleisnik- I am beyond happy with my decision to go with him. I met with three other surgeons. However, I decided to go with Dr. Taleisnik for many reasons. During the consultation, I felt that he was clear in his explanation about the procedure, and what I can expect, he made me aware of all the positives and negatives that can happen, and most importantly he made me feel comfortable and cared for. Post-surgery he was very responsive- he called me the night of the surgery to check if everything was going well. In addition, he is very responsive when it comes to email- I have emailed him numerous times after 6 pm on weekdays and weekends he responds in a timely manner. I really appreciate his patience and thoroughness when it comes to answering questions. In regard to the procedure my breast have never looked better and I am beyond happy! If you want a surgeon that cares and is thorough I would recommend Dr. Taleisnik! read more

Dr. Taleisnik and his staff were amazing! They all made me feel welcomed and supported throughout the process. Dr. T did an incredible job with my mommy makeover since I had a lot of work to be done! I highly recommend him if you are considering a change! It was worth it! read more

It's been 8 years since I had my BA with Dr. Taleisnik. I found him to be a gifted surgeon and I'm still so happy with the outcome of his work even after these many years. Prior to this surgery I had a BA from a different doctor and there was a world of difference in the outcomes. In addition to Dr. Taleisnik's consummate surgical skills, he also excels in explaining everything in detail, giving his patients all the time they need and also explaining all the risks. I understand this kind of thoroughness is not practiced by many plastic surgeons. Dr. Taleisnik also impressed me as one who genuinely cares about his patients and he is steadfast in his focus on the best possible outcome.  I was just recently diagnosed with early breast cancer. I had moved from SoCal and am now living in Florida. Unfortunately the surgeon here did not meet Dr. Taleisnik's high standards during my lumpectomy and reconstruction. I ended up with necrosis, significant pain and my healing will now be delayed for up to six months. As you can imagine I felt quite frightened and so decided to call Dr. Taleisnik. He right away scheduled a tele-appointment with me. After speaking with him I cannot tell you how much better I felt. He gave me professional reassurance that I will heal after much time. He also detailed proper wound care in contrast to the Florida surgeon.   Dr. Taleisnik helped me so much. I am blown away by his knowledge and kind compassion. If ever I need another reconstructive surgery or any other kind of plastic surgery, I will fly to CA and have him alone perform the surgery. I am Dr. Taleisnik's patient for life read more

I wish to say some words about Dr. Taleisnik. I saw him today for a consultation about a tummy tuck. I have seen other doctors for other procedures over the years and I wish to say that I appreciated his professionalism, care, and time he spent with me. I was the one who was late by 20 min and he still took me in and spent all the time needed to answer all my questions. He drew pictures and helped me understand how the procedure would go. I was truly impressed with his mannerism. He was very humble and you could tell he wasn't trying to incourage you to do things you didn't come in for, as I have experienced with other doctors. There wasn't even a charge for a consultation which I feel he should have charged just for all that is learned in the visit. All in all, I am grateful for Dr. Taleisnik. I had a friend who had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation from him a few years ago and she looks amazing and is very happy with her results. read more

Dr. Taleisnik is AMAZING! He performed my breast augmentation in October and I am so happy with my results! Dr. Taleisnik was so informative and provided me with such assurance and real expectations!

Still five stars. Going in to get my scar treatment today from Linae. Had a couple complications since I have sensitive skin and the tape. The first week was the hardest for the healing process. Now it just takes a lot of patience to heal. I am 2 1/2 weeks post ops. Dr. T and Linae answered all questions and continue to do so. *fingercrossed* the healing process will be a distant memory shortly.. ‍ read more

Poor post op follow-up Leaves patients unattended with resulting maladies Hasty to recommend extensive procedures High prices that do not match value of work read more

If I could give Dr Taleisnik 100 stars I would!! Not only is he professional and compassionate he actually cares about each of his patients. I had previously gotten implants and was in love, unfortunately 9 years later they ruptured a month before my wedding!!! Dr Taleisnik didn't hesitate to get me an appointment, I got my new implants just in time for my wedding. My implants make new feel so happy and confident with my body. My sister recently got a lift and implant upgrade following the birth of her daughter. My aunt is going to see him for a revision breast job done by a different surgeon. I am thinking of going back for liposuction. I can't say enough great things about Dr Taleisnik, he wants to make you proud of your body by giving a more enhanced but natural look. I recommend all my friends and family to him. Thank you Dr Taleisnik for giving me such amazing tatas!!!! read more

I took my friend to see Dr. Taleisnik and she was so nervous, but was so glad I brought her and said she felt so at ease and comfortable that she booked right away! Thank you Dr. T for always being so sweet and patient! So my sister got her Mommy makeover with Dr. Taleisnik, and she's pre-baby hot again!

I found Dr. Taleisnik through one of my good friends. I had been to a few consultations before his and was just not 100% sold on the other doctors, it just didn't feel right. At my consultation (no charge by the way) Dr. Taleisnik stayed after his office had closed and staff had gone home to thoroughly listen to what it was I was looking to do. He made me feel so comfortable right out the gate and I knew I had found my surgeon. I am 2 weeks post op from having my tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Dr Taleisnik and his entire team & staff have been absolutely AMAZING!! I highly recommend paying him a visit if you're looking to get anything done. I know I'll be a return customer! read more

It's been 12 years (2005), and my implants are holding strong! Recently I was casted in an infomercial and I got plenty of complements on my implants. No one believed that they were not 'mine'. I told them after 12 years they still feel and look great! read more

Andres Taleisnik, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Orange, California

Andres is the most arrogant disrespectful doctor I had met in my entire life. When he was doing his hand surgery, before he switched over to plastic surgery , I had an appointment with him . I was excited because he was a referral of a friend of mine. He walked into the appointment which I had set two weeks prior and he said "Oh no I can't see you " I replied back, "Sorry, yes we have an appointment scheduled- your staff scheduled it. " He then proceeded to walk out of the room and had his dad come in to do the appointment. I was in complete shock I had insurance that was going to pay for the visit Being confused and upset by him walking out of an appointment, I asked his staff and they had said to me that he takes the Worker's Compensation cases maybe because they pay more. Rude Rude rude.He's has now switched industries- because it's all cash I'm guessing. read more

I recently had a saline breast augmentation done by Dr. Taleisnik. I am very satisfied with each step of the process and the results of my breast. Dr. Taleisnik was very informative, answered every question I had, and made me feel comfortable and safe in my decision. He achieved everything I looked for in a breast augmentation. I am 1 month from surgery and my breast look exactly how I imagined them to look. Dr. Taleisnik was also very attentive, called me later in the afternoon after my surgery to see how I was doing and to answer any questions I had. He has also been very quick to respond to any of my emails I sent him with follow up questions. I highly recommend him for breast augmentation, he is a phenomenal doctor. read more

Research led me to Dr. Andres Talaisnik, and I am very thankful for that. I started seeing the amazing results of my neck lift and andominoplasty a few weeks after the procedure. Dr. Talaisnik and his team (Linae and Eunice) were incredibly helpful in all my pre- and post-operative appointments. Dr. Talaisnik was very attentive to my concerns and quickly responded to my questions by email and text. In addition, I was provided with lots of information that helped me prepare for the procedure. The surgery center was great. I felt at ease and comfortable the moment I walked in. The receptionist, nurses, and the anesthesiologist were the best. Overall, I must say that Dr. Talaisnik is amazing. He is an excellent surgeon, professional, caring, and attentive to details. His professionalism and quality of care have exceeded my expectations. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Talaisnik for making my cosmetic surgical experience as pleasant and painless as possible. I am very pleased with my results and overall experience. I highly recommend Dr. Talaisnik to others. read more

5+ stars for this doctor and his staff. Top notch practice in every way. I recently underwent tummy tuck surgery (Dec 13), and still in recovery but had to leave this review since I am super happy with the way this practice has handled my procedure. He is very informative and always avail for questions ( even after hours ) which a huge plus and shows his professionalism and passion for what he does. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is on the same page. I consulted with other doctors in Newport that had equal quality of work and were charging a fortune and dealing with consultations simply as another paycheck. This doctor is personable and his team of nurses and anesthesiologist were absolutely amazing. Thanks doctor and staff for being amazing! read more

Andres Taleisnik, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Orange, California

If you have ever thought about a Breast Augmentation or Revision you know heading into multiple consults can be very overwhelming and sky rocket your thoughts with different opinions regarding scarring, implant size etc. I was adamant that I wanted to find a Dr. who listened to what I wanted rather than what they thought I needed, and that's exactly what I received after my consult with Dr. Taleisnik! I have been thinking about this surgery for a while now and after a few other consults I left Dr. Taleisnik's office feeling overly excited and comfortable with the next steps. We agreed on the look I was trying to achieve and I really appreciated his conservative outlook, which is what I was searching for. This was the first major surgery I have had so of course tons of questions came to mind, and he confidentially answered all of them. I never second guessed my decision, and even booked my surgery the NEXT day after my consult ! Post op appointments have been easy and I am loving my results already only 11 days out. If you are looking for a Dr. who is confident in his work and honest with your concerns, I would recommend Dr. Taleisnik to anyone ! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Taleisnik for anyone seeking to have a breast augmentation done. I am 10 days post-op from a breast augmentation done by him and I cannot be doing better. My recovery process has gone extremely well and I feel amazing. Though the final results are not visible this early in the recovery process, I am so happy with how my breast look. Most importantly, Dr. Taleisnik was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my description of what results I was looking for. read more

Dr. Taleisnik is the very best! He took his time with me during my consultation and answered all of my questions. His staff is friendly and his assistant is great! His work is phenomenal and I couldn't be happier with my results! read more

I am so shocked that someone had something bad to say about Dr. Taleisnik. I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Taleisnik in 2006 and he was absolutely amazing. I had just about given up on the idea of getting any work done because after several consultations with different doctors I could not find one I liked or trusted. They either came off as creepy, rushed or clueless as to what I wanted. I wanted to natural looking implant (I'm 5'10" and size A cup), so I wanted to go bigger but not HUGE. Dr. Taleisnik came highly recommended by a friend of mine, so I thought I would give this one last shot. Dr. Taleisnik was re assuring and completely understood my needs. He talked me through all of my options, described the differences between the implants and gave me an idea of what to expect when surgery was complete. He didn't give me any false expectations, he was very accurate with what to expect. When we were in the office for consultation and again for pre-op, I never felt like he was trying to rush me out the door. He took his time, answered all my questions and made sure I was satisfied before leaving. Day of surgery he was great. He even posed for a picture with me :) When I went under I was so excited about waking up with new breasts. Dr. Taleisnik did an amazing job. Of course I was sore when I came to, but he had told me to expect that. I went home and followed Dr.'s orders. He even called me that evening (on a Friday night) to follow up with me and remind me of how to take care of myself post op. The entire experience was great. I would love to go back to him in the future if I require any more plastic surgery. It's been about 6-7 yrs now and I still love my breasts :) I've had 2 kids since my surgery and they held up fine. I had no problems breast feeding which was huge relief. My recommendation here is don't judge him off a bad post. I seriously can't believe anyone could have a negative thing to say.

From pre-op to post-op, Dr. Andres was with me every step of the way. I absolutely love how easy it is to get a hold of him via email, you'll almost always get a same day response making it super convenient and comforting to know when you're thinking about undergoing surgery. Especially if you're like me (I'm a paranoid patty.) So here's my short story. I've always been obsessed with boobs, I felt like everyone had them but me. I waited and waited for mine to grow, but it just never happened. My right boob was slightly smaller than my left, so bras just never fit quite right. Long story short, I just never felt womanly. My sister and I had always joked about bargain shopping for boobs since we all know breast augmentations aren't cheap. (hahaha! who would bargain shop for boobs?) but last thing I wanted was to end up on the show botched, so I decided that I would just save up to find a good ps. (but if you were wondering, Dr. Andres does give a discount if you and a friend decide to get a breast augmentation done together) so after years of feeling underdeveloped, I finally did it. I started looking up plastic surgeons on real self and tried to find a somewhat affordable, yet great surgeon with good reviews. After emailing what seemed like 20 surgeons, only one stood out, Dr. Andres was the only one genuinely interested in helping me receive the look I wanted and answered all my questions before I even came in for my consultation. Granted that most ps are busy with surgeries and other patients , I feel like it's important to create that bond even if it takes an extra minute to put a little thought extra and feeling into an email. (I want to feel like I'm talking to a real person.) I mean, you're basically paying someone a lot of money to slice you open and stitch you back up. I NEED to feel like my plastic surgeon cares for my well being as well as achieving the look I want. And after looking over tens of before and after pictures, I was honestly tired of seeing over-sized boobs that didn't really fit the persons frame. As much as I wanted big boobs, what I wanted more was a great ps who could give me natural looking and full breasts. I was completely confident that Dr. Andres would be the one I chose to perform my breast augmentation. So confident that I scheduled my surgery right after our consultation! I knew I wanted him to be my ps after the first couple of emails we exchanged and after meeting him, I just couldn't wait . He knew exactly what I was looking for and he was very attentive to what I wanted/had to say. He genuinely listens to what you want and will give suggestions to what he thinks would fit your frame whether you're going for a natural look or a slightly "juicier" look. I am definitely going to recommend him to all my cousins and girlfriends looking to get a breast augmentation! I'm 7 weeks post op and I couldn't be happier!! My boobs looks awesome! Thank you Dr. Andres!! read more
