From all the "sunbathing" I did in my younger years dermatology caught up with me and I had to have a mohs procedure to incision out a spot on my forehead. Dr Mowlavi and his staff were excellent. From the front office to the medical assistances to Dr Mowlavi himself, they are all very professional and very positive, upbeat and knowledgeable. This was a first for me and they were very re assuring of the process and kept me updated all along the way as to what to expect and the complete procedure. Dr Mowlavi is very skilled and an excellent plastic surgeon. My procedure was a couple weeks ago and my incision is almost all healed with no visible scarring nor marks, probably looks even better from before. I highly recommend Dr Mowlavi for any plastic surgery needs !!!! Larry D. read more

Dr M saved me in a panic. I had a huge hole dug out of my bridge on nose due to basel cell carcinoma. DR baron dermotologist had dug out so much I needed a plastic surgeon. I ran to Dr M and he did a c- flap with his assistant. I thought he was kind and did not hesitate to close up the open gash in my face. To me he's a sweetheart. I gave him a Teddy Bear hug and im not sure he even got paid. I think he has a heart and I read some bad reviews and thought I'd defend him. I think it was 2009 this happened and I am having a drooping eyelid now. So I need to fix it but it held up for many years. There was never any improper touching..I felt very comfortable with him. I kind of think when dealing with body sculpting you have to shed modesty. .I recently went thru breast cancer surgery. At first I was timid but got used to showing my breasts to These Dr's not big deal. Now I need breast reconstruction and I decided against implants. Not sure my next move but I wouldn't be afraid to C dr M after all these years again. read more

I called to schedule a consultation. The person answering the phone had awful phone etiquette and poor customer service. Due to the initial call I did not proceed with scheduling the consultation and after reviewing the yelp reviews, I am so grateful. Had the reception not been rude, I would have not seen all of the awful reviews. read more

Signed on to leave a review and was notified that this company is uploading fake positive reviews. Crazy! Disorganized and disappointing! I had a consultation with Dr. Mowlavi and was upsold several procedures. I told him I'm only interested in getting 1 and he said let me price everything and we will work from there. A few days later I received a call from his office for a quote of 30k. I again mentioned that I'm only interested in 1 procedure; told me Dr. said I need all procedures and told me he's the best in the business, ect, ect. I requested a written quote with a breakdown. After not receiving anything for a few weeks , I called back to see if I can get the price breakdown. It felt like the office didn't have any notes about my consult and said they'd call me back. They called the next day and asked that I have ANOTHER consultation. She said he needs to look at everything again. Extremely FRUSTRATING! If they run their office this disorganized I would be terrified to have a procedure with them. Too many other great doctors out there! read more

Wow He is talker, doesn't listen to YOUR concerns or questions, runs you over with his overly confident, narcissist " look at my IG" speed-up speech! I attempted to express my experience and concerns with past treatments and he would interrupt by saying "yeah yeah yeah I can fix all that" What? Just like that hu? No thanks! Also : I NOTED that he stepped out of a surgery, to come talk to me for the "free consult" Beyond unprofessional! Even his assistant spoke so fast like a coked out car salesman trying to sell you a lemon car! Needless to say I'm not getting a hair touched by this guy! Be careful! read more

Worst scariest doctor ever! I had surgery with this mad man In 2012. I was alone the morning of this surgery needed only new breast implants . Before surgery early morning in some surgical center outside of his office because I did not want surgery there. Dr Mowlavi came in and he looked disshoveled his eyes were really glazed. i was feeling super scared, he then was marking me in a creepy way. I felt like I was in a three dementional relm of fear Slow motion. I wanted to so fast out of there and he kept me there somehow. TRUST YOUR GUT ALWAYS. I remember after surgery I was screaming crying shaking etc dumped in a wheel chair and sent out the door. I then found out he gave me a breast lift which I never asked for of needed. He also was to reduce a small part of eyes of mynute skin only. He did the complete eyes and I have trouble sleeping due to nill skin to cover my eyes with my thicker skin. Botched big time. Within 24 hours after surgery I fell ill very ill temperature 106. A single mom and it it wasn't for my sons tutor helping me get rushed to the Er I would have died of a serious infection. I was put of intravenous solution. I was forced to stay in the ER. I had a young son and Had to be there for him. So the hospital released me but under there deal that I come back to hospital everyday For care. Bottom line .. I almost lost my life by the Mad Man Dr. read more

my wife caught an infection in his OR. he's a butcher. the infection she caught in there left her with pain that she still feels 5 years later. read more

Dr Mowlavi, is the best and has the best team! Claudia, Jame, Kyle & Teresa and the list goes on, they are the best, so sweet and always so attentive. Although the office is very busy the team does an amazing job remaining calm under pressure. Dr Laguna has done two surgery's on me, first a Breast Augmentation/reconstructive surgery, done in a hospital; he did a beautiful job being that I was a unique case of Poland Syndrome. Second he redid my entire body; done in office. And when I mean entire body I mean ENTIRE BODY. Underarms, inner thighs, Lipo to abdominal and back, & 360 skin removal. Tomorrow is 2 week post op & im feeling great. If following Drs perfect change program you are set for success. read more

I went in for a consultation on simple flanks and back fat liposuction. I only saw the actual doctor for about two minutes. The consultation was only ran by his assistant, who told me that I should get a tummy tuck, and a skin tight procedure on top of everything else. Mind you, i'm only 23 with little issue with my body or need for that. I do not recommend going here if you're wanting to feel comfortable. read more

I don't have the time to leave a lengthy message but I will say that there are really well trained and skilled plastic surgeon's in the area. I would go and get at least see 3 doctors before choosing Dr. Mowlavi. I had a strange visit at his office. I went in with a problem and he wanted to do a tummy tuck and lipo I'm 5'9" and I weight 128 lbs. The doctor would not listen to my concern, he just wanted to look for things to do. Then my husband and I sat in a room waiting for him for a very long time. The doctor would pop in and say I'll be right with you. He was juggling appointments and was way behind and We ended up walking away. The front desk wanted to charge us for our visit. read more

Where to begin.... Part 1... I found Dr. Mowlavi on Realself. I posted on Realself for help and advice, Dr mowlavi was one of the first doctors to respond to my questions and doubts. He quickly got my attention. After a few months of reviewing his past patients and delivered results via internet and Instagram I decided to make an online live consultation. That went great and said he could fix my botched job, but wanted an in-person consultation. I made and went, Luckily these were complimentary consults. Through both of the consultations he was extremely confident he could perform and get the results I was looking for. I liked his overall attitude and character when conversing with him. He got to the point and explained what all he was going to accomplish. My trust was in his hands. He offered me a price for Vaser. This was for all of my front torso, love handles and all of that. I quickly made my decision and decided to go through my surgery with Dr. laguna. I had an extreme case of scar tissue and fascia, causing my stomach to look like cottage cheese. I also had fat in my chest. He was going to get rid of all scar tissue and etch me up. This week I finally had surgery! I'm currently in recovery mode. The day I had my surgery, he had two other doctors visiting and learning his techniques, which was pretty cool, He outlined my body on every part he was going to detail. Process for that took a little bit, once that was done I was headed to the surgery room. (This place was perfect because it was a all in one establishment, meaning it has the doctors office and surgery room all in one building) I met the anesthesiologist, once everything was in order I layed down on the table and quickly fell under. I woke up feeling great! A little nauseous and sore but great! I had a mini tummy tuck, The stitches were internal, which means they dissolve, these will dissolve in about 3 months post surgery. I was excited about this. My scar/tummy tuck was stitched in a perfect line. I also got a new belly button and its looking normal. Two drains were installed in my lower abdomen, which naturally drains all the excess fluid. This is great! My results within a week look great! I have normal brusing and swelling. After day 2 I was my mobility was great, day 3 I was running light errands and moving around a lot. Of course I had to be careful not moving around too much and it's a little hard getting in and out of a vehicle. With surgery, its best to have lymphatic massages, I am doing this every other day. This helps with quick recovery and definitely helps with the final results. They give you prescriptions and if you follow them to the T you will be just fine! Everyday that I come for my massage I'm greeted by the doctor to make sure everything is going A-Okay! Staff is very friendly and all my questions have been answered, I can honestly say so far, this has been a fantastic ordeal and could not be happier. I will be posting a part 2 review once I am fully healed in a few months read more

I was nervous about having my breast implants removed. One had deflated so it had to be done. Dr. Mowlavi did not rush me to have new implants or to have other surgeries. Rather he suggested I wait a few months to see how the tissue settled after both were removed. He said otherwise the result would likely to uneven. He did give me some ideas to consider if I chose to have further procedures, including a natural, modest enhancement with my own body fat. Surgeons are not known for telling you to wait for surgery so I was both pleasantly surprised and appreciative of his approach. His staff was amazing and treated me like a patient that was getting a lot more done even though my procedure was pretty minor. The scars from the removal of the implants are almost invisible just two months later. read more

Egomaniacal. He pays a lot of attention prior to surgery, but after he gets paid, he's a flake.

I'm 3 months post op, and I could not be more happier with my results! I knew he was the doctor for me after our consultation. He and his team thoroughly explained everything I would need to know in detail. On my operation day they made me laugh & made me feel so comfortable that I knew I was in the right hands. The post op experience with his team has been great! The masseuse Theresa is amazing! His team is professional and attentive and I can't wait to see my results 3 months from now. read more

You get more than you pay for with Dr. Laguna. My body has NEVER looked like this. I am 4 days out from surgery and the results from my vaser liposuction, contour sculpting, body lift procedure are amazing. I told the doctor that I wanted to look like a superhero and in 4 hours, he did it. Dr. Mowlavi is a legitimate artist. I searched for years for a surgeon to do my liposuction, and when the time came to really make the call on who yo trust, I was stuck with a 3-way tie. In fact, I intended to go with a different doctor originally, but could never get his office to call me back to schedule a consultation. Not only did I get a phone call from Dr. Mowlavi himself, he also allowed me to do a virtual consultation because I lived far away from his office. From the office manager "Claudia", Massage Therapist "T", the anesthesiologist, the head nurse, to the Camilla's Cottage staff, the ENTIRE STAFF makes you feel like you are the only client and fully answered all of my questions. I could not give a higher rating or recommendation for any business that I have ever visited. These people are miracle workers and both kind and gentle while doing it! read more

Arian Mowlavi, MD - Day before surgery...& 1 day after - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me

OMG!!!!!!! I don't even know where to begin! Let me start by saying I knew this would happen to Arian Mowlavi one day. He should even be recognized as a doctor. I went to him about 8 years ago because I was interested is getting a breast reduction, lift and implants. I scheduled my appointment with his assistant Claudia. During my consultation Arian Mowlavi made me feel ugly and had me doubting myself and my body. After about an hour of feeling like crap about myself I was convinced to get a full tummy tuck, Brest lift with implants and a BBL aka a Full Mommy Makeover! The total cost came out to $15,000. Prior to my surgery I was told I can send Claudia pictures of how I would picture my breast to look so I did. Day of my surgery I was all marked up and went under. When I finally healed which took about 3-6 months I was extremely disappointed with the results especially after being convinced that I needed this work. I went back and forth with Arian Mowlavi and Claudia. I just say during my consultation and prior to my surgery Claudia acted like an Angel. As soon as I had questions and concerns and was not happy she became this evil human being. Extremely rude!!! My BBL was not even that, all it did was leave scars on my rear , my breast were still drooping and did not look anything like how I was told they would. So eventually he offered to do a 2nd procedure on my breast that cost me another $6000. I also wanted to get a 2nd BBL but didn't have anymore funds to cover it so I was extremely bummed. I also referred my mom who received some type of CO2 facial that was completely botched and left a bunch of line scars on my moms face that she still struggles with till this day. I had also posted about my experience on RealSelf and was asked to delete it when he made the 2nd deal with me to do my breast again for $6000. I wish I can go back and do more research and wish I had chosen another Doctor. I would have spent less and gotten what I had originally gone in for rather then all the extra because of words that were used to make me feel like crap. I hope Arian Mowlavi loses everything after everything he has done to so many women out there!!! read more

Dr. Mowlavi and his staff were hands down top-notch from the pre-Op Process to Post-Op. he and his team were so welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. read more

After an initial Consultation with this doctor I decided not to proceed, my real issue was how it was handled. I opted for an online consultation for a lipo and the whole process was uncomfortable: -the doctor was bragging how amazing world class surgeon he is and how I should have seen him in person because he is very good and his time is valuable -then he made me find him on Instagram, tell me how many followers (over 100K) he had and talked about how he made all those women "hot". PS: I work with social media and I know for a fact that he bought those followers, the ratio of engagement should be at least 1%, not 3 likes. -after bragging a little more, he asked me to show him what was he dealing with, I showed him my abdomen and he asked me to pull the skin (?) I did it but because I don't have a saggy or a lot of extra, he kept asking me to pull and stretch, I guess it was not what he expected so he said that he could not see very well and I should resc, but he would send me an estimate. I have been to over 10 doctors and none of them recommend for me to "remove excess skin", after I questioned in fact, they said that there was no need. Now, I get that when you do an online exam, it may not be ideal, but if you are so good, you should not have to rely on fake followers or unnecessary procedures read more

What can I say? Dr Mowlovi is exceptional at his craft. I could not have chosen a better surgeon. The office staff made me feel as though I was family. I would go back for any further treatment or surgery; without a second thought. read more

From the initial consultation and a second consult, pre-op, surgery and post op care everything was handled great. Dr. Mowlavi's staff is incredible! I'm a 50yr old mom of two that had two c-sections, breast fed both babies and had 120lb weight loss with diet and exercise. Needless to say, my body looked wrecked! I'm 2mpo from ETT, MR, Lipo to upper, Mid back and flanks, Renuvion skin tightening on back, BL with fat grafting to one breast and buttocks. I can't believe I have this amazing body and it's only going to get better the further out I get. I can't wait to to rock a bikini for once in my life. I need to refine my already amazing results by losing about 10-15lbs. But that should be no problem now that I can exercise. read more

Arian Mowlavi, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me

From the moment I walked in to Dr. Mowlavi's office to the last follow up appointment, he has exceeded my expectations. I had a mini tummy tuck, lipo revision and Renuvion treatment. Previous lipo from another surgeon left me with indentations and saggy skin. I was skeptical that it would be fixed with this revision surgery. Gratefully, Dr. Mowlavi and his team, Teresa, James and the front desk staff exceeded my expectations. Every detail was taken care of from start to finish. Given my prior experience with lipo and not getting proper after care, I knew the importance of the required lymphatic massage treatments, proper garment fittings, nutritional and vitamin support and follow up appointments. If you want your body sculpted by not only a highly skilled surgeon but a brilliant artist, I highly recommend Dr. Mowlavi. You will end up saving time and money by doing it right the first time. read more

It has been an absolute dream getting my body transformed by Dr. Mowlavi. From the start, Dr. Mowlavi has been so gracious and attentive to my surgical needs, not to mention his lovely staff who is always there to help with any pre- and post-surgical questions to make the entire process more seamless. I have referred countless patients to Dr. Mowlavi as I know he will deliver wonderful results each and every time. read more

Super amazing surgeon,  works miracles!! All the staff was kind and helpful though the whole process and definitely gave the "your part of the family experience", I was going under anesthesia smiling because I knew I was in great hands, Dr mowlavi delivered on my expectations and beyond , sutures are healing amazingly , pain was extremely minimal (I know pain tolerance is different for everyone but by day two I just felt a bit stiff with no pain) and definitely would recommend to anyone looking for minimal or massive cosmetic surgery this man know what hes doing and definitely blessed my body and correct the mistakes of a previous surgeon in DR. read more

Dr. Mowlavi made my 30s feel like 20s. I feel like its a new start! I felt like he was my doctor since day one, totally confident. From day 1, I knew he could accomplish what I wanted. The office and staff were awesome and professional and so helpful! It feels like a little family here. read more

And he has the audacity to say they reminded me so many times?!? I cancelled once because I could not find a ride at the time and that was the end of it loooool I wanted to give my nose some time to heal before I even gave my opinion, was very unhappy with the results and made an appointment to visit the doctor over half a year later. But when I called to ask the receptionist what the doctor could have done to make me feel better about my results she literally said nothing. And you have the audacity to write back lol to everyone who's looking for a plastic surgeon please do yourself a favor and find another one, I only stumbled across this one because he commented on my real self post. Popular doctors don't even have time for that, I should have known better. read more

I can't figure out Dr. Mowlavi. He sounds very knowledgeable and after meeting with him 3 times, he convinces me to do the procedure but he also added an additional procedure I wasn't planning on doing, but it made sense at the time. I have visited several surgeons and Dr. Mowlavi's staff is by far the most aggressive meaning they really want your business. They even had my credit checked when I was there, something no one else has done. When I was leaving my 3rd appointment this week, he was in his office with most of his staff and I overheard him say: "time to make some money, folks"... this really turned me off and don't think I trust him to do my procedure now. It's so hard making such a tough decision, you don't want your body to be ruined or to end up uneven and it's a very tough emotional decision for a lot of people. If he would be smarter and wiser psychologically speaking, he would have higher reviews. Just seeing several 1 star reviews makes me doubt, as the other surgeons I am considering, have all 5 star reviews across the board. These surgeons were of all ages, with their bed side manner and attitude not as showy. The only reason I was considering Mowlavi was because he convinced me that Vaser was the best on the market, but other surgeons have warned me against it, that it leaves more of a rippled effect on the skin. Sigh! Also, posting a picture of your wife and kids on Yelp is not a good sign, your personal life has nothing to do with your professional life - that doesn't make you a better surgeon, nor does it change your image, once you've impressed someone with your expertise and professionalism, no need to show your cute family. read more

Much of fake reviews even yelp detects it. This doctor made ugly stitches on half of my back for the very minor surgery, also I've got abscesses thanks to him read more

Arian Mowlavi, MD - Stitches - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me

BE AWARE ....... WORST PLASTIC SURGEON EVER !! The most arrogant doctor ever , as one of the reviews here the lady said very bad bedside manners , that is for sure !! I went in for face lift and eyelid surgery , i ended up doing the eyelids first as an outpatient procedure. The first time i met him i had a bad taste in my mouth , he was in a rush and was very very entitled and acted like he was some kind of rock star and i should be privileged to be in his presence ..lol Against my better instincts i went along with the procedure as I really thought he was one of the best. Well I was wrong .. not only was he rude he did an awful job , my eyelids look the same if not worse. When I addressed my concern he told me i looked great LOL not the case and i should go and see an optometrist and stormed out of the room. I will NEVER come back to his office and feel so bad for all future patients of his. One note .. his nurse James is amazing and is very compassionate Be aware .. this Doctor is no good read more

I had a horrible first time experience, sad to report. Dr. Mowlavi convinced me I needed "more" product and I agreed to it. The problem is...He never used or gave me the secondary suggested-product! I was billed for it (and paid for it). I contacted his office as soon as I remebered (we had been talking throughout my visit/highly distracted). To date this business has not returned my communications in 6-7 months, or remedied their $1500 blunder, which was human error on their part (and I DO understand mistakes happen!). I'm not asking them for anything I've not already paid for, and am being quite QUITE patient with this situation. I'm paid to review businesses in my career. I would not have rated this visit as "passing" if it were an assignment of mine. I will report back in 48 hours, to see if Dr. Mowlavi or his staff will return my calls and emailed messages. I sent another email out this week, strongly requesting the office either issue my refund or give me my product. I'll report back by Monday, but am tentative on how or IF they'll even respond. NOTE TO CLIENTS: Dr. Mowlavi is a well known and regarded plastic surgeon who runs a large skin care clinic in Laguna Beach, California. The offices and treatment rooms are very clean and organized. Product is not kept in treatment rooms; it is kept in a separate Product Storage Room, in an opposite area of the building. read more

The only good thing about the office was the music and Kyle. The office furniture isn't wiped down. The floors and bathroom are dirty. The front desk gals are rude to you, and hang up on you if you're asking for detailed directions. Parking is terrible. You could easily be hit by oncoming traffic, or be accused of tapping another parked car like I was, due to the lack of room. The consultation would have been better if Dr. M didn't push (accidentally?) his belly into my backside as we both looked into the mirror during the consult. No customer service regarding what I wanted, it's what he wanted. Terrible recovery with excessive vomiting and again, a lack of communication, especially with the assistant Doctor. 45 seconds spent checking the sutures and telling me about nothing. I overheard him saying that he wouldn't perform someone's surgery because he "wasn't feeling it." I didn't know that you had to have a good vibe in order to work on people. One star for Kyle and the excited Doctor on the videos. Please communicate more with the patients. I could have used 8 weeks of recovery and you said 6 was fine. Not in my case. A lack of suggestions for anything (what to avoid?) post-surgery. Unfortunately, I needed another surgery to repair the botched job. Waste of time, money, and gas. read more

I witnessed poor hygiene. In two occasions Dr. Mowlavi came into the consultation room with his surgical gown and surgical gloves full of blood stains. I thought about the cross contamination from whatever he came from to that room. Really bad experience. And he calls you 'girlfriend', so weird. read more

I found Dr. Mowlavi on RealSelf after months of searching for the right doctor. I decided on Dr. Mowlavi after looking through every single photo and reading the reviews. I submitted an inquiry through RealSelf and got a call from James on a Sunday to discuss my inquiry. I couldn't even believe he was taking the time to talk to me on the weekend. It made me feel so good so I scheduled my consultation for a few weeks out. When I arrived to my consult, I was impressed with how nice the office is. It was clean and beautiful. It was crowded but I didn't wait long. Dr. Mowlavi thoroughly impressed me. I knew what I wanted but I didn't know much about the procedure. Dr. Mowlavi answered all of my questions, was extremely friendly, and had all around good bedside manner. (Let me add he did not try to up-sell me AT ALL.. much appreciated because I felt like he actually did care about exactly what I wanted) Fast forward to now: I could NOT be more pleased with the result. Dr. Mowlavi has changed my life for the better. He is talented, kind, and his staff are all so fantastic. I have never felt better at a doctor's office. I have already referred a co-worker and a family member here and will continue to come here for anything from Botox to facials to skin care. read more

I have never seen a doctor more condescending than this doctor!!! I went in with my sister who's had her breast reconstruction done with him 3 years ago. It never looked right to begin with. She had to have one of her breasts redone by another surgeon. I could go on and on about the experience 3 years ago... Her left side started having a lump as big as a golf ball just last week. When we showed him a picture and asked him if this looks normal to him he got loud and raised his voice and started acting like a bully. I told him this is exactly what he did 3 years ago and my sister was intimidated by him so she stopped complaining. I told him that I have seen several breast reconstructions and none of them look this way. He raised his voice again and said "who's the doctor here? I have been doing this for 20 years and this is normal" When he understood that he can't bully me he started calling me honey and love!!! Bottom line if there was negative stars rating, i would have given him a negative 10. both for his work and for his bedside manners. I will absolutely not recommend this doctor. All he's after is money. you will receive no post-op care once the check is cleared. read more

No idea how he has a rating of 4.9. Firstly, in the waiting room, you have to fill out some forms. On these forms, there are TWO sections that I do *not* recommend signing. The first is a section that I took a picture of & attached to this comment. It is completely unacceptable that a doctor puts something like this hidden between a bunch of forms that have to do with your health, hippa, insurance, & photography waivers. Maybe this is why he has 4.9 stars because he sues people when they try to post negative results he gave them. You are not obligated to sign that. There was another form called an "arbitration agreement" that basically says you cannot take him to court if he botches you. You can only take take your case to arbitration, & the arbitrator assigned to you IS PICKED BY THIS SURGEON. The lawyers of this surgeon encourage arbitration because arbitration usually goes in favor of the physician. LEGALLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN THIS DOCUMENT. BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FILE A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SUIT IF THIS DOCTOR BOTCHES YOU. I did not sign it, & when I gave the papers to the receptionist, she said, "oh, you forgot this one." & I said, "I'm not signing that." She said, "you HAVE to sign it." I said, "No, I don't. It even says on the paper that signing that is VOLUNTARY." & she said, "ohhh." Before my appointment, Dr. Laguna called me over the phone & spoke to me about the procedure & gave me a quote. When I went into the office of the lady that discusses prices with you, she gave me a quote that was $1500 MORE than what the Dr. told me. I told her he gave me a different quote & asked her if she could go ask him why it increased by so much. She said, "okay" & walked out of the room, but just chit chatted with her coworkers outside of the door & came back in & said she spoke to him & he said he thought the procedure would take longer & he felt I was going to take more work. She never even spoke to him. Very suspicious. He & his assistant did not leave the room when I was undressing, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Like, get out for two minutes while I take my clothes off & put the robe on.... I've seen a lot of reviews from women saying that he kept pushing different procedures on them, telling them they should really get X & Y procedure even though they only came in for Y procedure. But during my consultation, he was mostly just showing off his work (which I had no interest in). Kept showing me BBL's & ab sculpting, but my natural body is better than most of his "after" clients, so I just ignored it all. When we finally started discussing the procedure I was interested in, he kept cutting me off, ignoring my questions, saying that what I was asking didn't matter because it was just a simple procedure & any other surgeon telling me they had a special technique was full of shit. He cussed a lot & seemed unprofessional. I asked him if he could show me before & after pictures of previous patients that had the procedure I wanted done. Over the phone, he told me he performed hundreds & hundreds of this specific procedure during his career. However, he came in with only two before & after pictures. These pictures were taken immediately before the surgery & immediately after (before they even took the patient off anesthesia). I asked if he could show me pictures that were months after the procedure & he told me he didn't have ANY. He said he respects his patients' privacy & he never asks them for pictures after their surgery. WHAAAAT? A surgeon who makes his career off changing people's appearances can't provide me with healed results of his work for a procedure he has done "hundreds of times" according to him? HUGE RED FLAG. read more
