Daines Plastic Surgery

I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Kosins and his office staff. I called Dr. Kosins's office…read morebecause I was having severe pain in one breast. His office arranged to have me seen by Dr. Kosins immediately. Dr. Kosins identified the problem which was an encapsulated breast implant and was able to have me scheduled for surgery the following week. I was very skeptical about undergoing surgery because I have severe sleep apnea and a vocal cord paralysis. Dr. Kosins provided me with words of reassurance, which gave me the confidence to move forward with the procedure. The surgery went forward without any complications, and my pain decreased significantly. Now it is totally gone. Dr. Kosins was very knowledgeable about complications with breast implants and handled the situation brilliantly. I am very pleased with my results. His office staff is also very friendly and professional. The post operative care provided by his staff was top notch. I would recommend Dr. Kosins to anyone who is considering undergoing breast surgery and anyone who is experiencing issues with breast implants. You couldn't find a better care team or be in better hands!

I waited until the one-year mark to leave this review because I wanted to give my body enough time…read moreto fully heal and settle before speaking on my final results. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the outcome of my breast augmentation and with the level of follow-up support afterward. I had surgery on May 5, 2025. Around 4-5 months post-op, I began noticing significant asymmetry developing. By the time I returned for my follow-up appointment in September, the issue had already become very noticeable. At this point, I developed capsular contracture on my left side, causing the breast to feel hard, tight, and unnatural. On the right side, the implant dropped significantly lower than the left, creating visible asymmetry and uneven nipple positioning. I also experienced poor scar healing around my right areola, with the scar remaining thick, raised, and persistently itchy nearly a year later. To be fair, Dr. Kosins did acknowledge the asymmetry during my September appointment, discussed revision options with me, and his office provided information regarding the Allergan warranty coverage. I understand capsular contracture is a known risk of breast augmentation surgery and not necessarily the result of negligence. However, what left me disappointed was the lack of continued follow-up and support afterward. After the initial discussion regarding revision options and warranty information, there was no further outreach, follow-up phone call, scheduling assistance for next steps, or even scheduling of my one-year post-op appointment/check-in. As a patient navigating an upsetting complication less than a year after surgery, that absence of communication left me feeling unsupported and alone in the process. I never expected perfection, and I understand complications can happen with any surgery. But when complications do occur, communication, reassurance, and aftercare matter just as much as the surgery itself. Patients deserve to know not only how successful outcomes are handled, but also how they are supported when results do not go as planned.

I had previously been told by another surgeon that I would need a breast lift to get the result I wanted, but I really did not want the additional scars or a lift if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Dr. Ip took the time to evaluate my anatomy and gave me another option that made much more sense for me. We ultimately went with Motiva Ergonomix implants placed over the muscle/subfascial, without a lift, and I am SO happy that I trusted him. My surgery and recovery were honestly easier than I ever expected. I had very minimal pain, never needed the prescription pain medication, and felt extremely well taken care of throughout the entire process. I'm now several weeks out and already love my results more and more as everything continues to settle. They look beautiful, feminine and proportionate to my body, which was exactly what I wanted. What I appreciated most about Dr. Ip was that I never felt pressured or like there was only one "correct" option. He listened to my concerns, worked with my anatomy and my goals, and ultimately gave me the result I was hoping for without putting me through a procedure I didn't want. Choosing a plastic surgeon is such a personal decision, and I did a LOT of research before making mine. I'm genuinely so happy I chose Dr. Ip and would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering breast augmentation.

When I decided to have surgery, I chose Dr. Mowlds without any hesitation.

I had my consultation once again after the waited time period, we talked about fixing the holes (dents in my nose from missing cartilage), and fixing the irregularities. I booked the non refundable deposit of $1,000 after meeting with him and scheduled the surgery thinking the quote would similar to what he quoted me on email. The receptionist (I can't say names on yelp), sent me a quote of $187,050. I was floored. I lost the deposit money and we can't afford almost $200,000 for a nose job. I am filled with so many questions of why? Where did we get so lost? My emails are ignored now. I lost the money to the lawyer to the last surgeon who botched me, we're in debt from 4 surgeries that botched me, and I put all my eggs in one basket as to the hope for him to fix me for good. We can't even get a loan for $200,000. I'm really down and absolutely shocked that he said he would help me, but surprised me with a price tag that's insurmountable for what we can afford. It's saddening. My hope is gone for surgeons. They're greedy and money hungry. I hope this review gets him to read what emotional toll this has taken on me, and to think before you charge a patient $200,000 to fix irregularities on their nose. I'm no millionaire or billionaire, I'm a mom raising a toddler who has had a really hard time looking in the mirror. I wish he would have kept his word. Only God will judge us at the end as to how we treated those in need of help but couldn't afford a quarter million dollars to get it.

It's no secret plastic surgeons are as prevalent in Southern California as convenience stores-- There's one on every corner. The question becomes: Who do you trust to not just improve your appearance but save it and your life too? I'm fair skinned with freckles and if there's a beach nearby, I'm on it with my surfboard. This makes me a prime candidate for skin cancer. When my primary physician became concerned about a lesion on my chest, he referred me to the best-- Dr. Steven Daines. Dr. Daines is Double-Board Certified with distinguished awards as a Physician of Excellence in a region saturated with plastic surgeons. I had no idea about any of this when I first met him, all I knew was I might have skin cancer and I was terrified. Well, I did. Dr. Daines was so friendly, personable and caring he made me feel more like a personal friend or a family member than a patient. He explained the Mohs procedure in layman's terms and was so compassionate he dissolved all my fears, a feat worthy of Houdini. In fact, Dr. Daines was more concerned about the potential scar on my chest than I was! (I'm one of those chicks who digs scars, except on my face.) The procedure was flawless, painless and what scar? I'm no stranger to doctors given my active lifestyle. I work in the public eye in a forum where my colleagues are very image conscious and I've been to doctors from Beverly Hills to San Diego. I know what it feels like to be run through the process like a file of paperwork. Never have I been made to feel this way with Dr. Daines. Since my initial visit, I've gone to see Dr. Daines for Botox and CO2 laser to keep undoing the damage I do. He is only ever concerned about my well-being, comfort and satisfaction. His staff is fantastic, checking in with me before, after and even between procedures. I personally believe any dissatisfaction lies with the patient for requesting a conservative approach or not following up. Dr. Daines has always stood by his work and is quick to remind me to contact him if I'm not satisfied. I am always more than satisfied. Even my mountain-man husband is considering some enhancements! In a sea of plastic surgeons, Dr. Daines is an island. He has a platinum reputation, a brilliant talent and esteemed awards to prove it but what really sets him apart is the man himself. Dr. Daines has a heart of gold and it comes through in his work. I will be a patient for life. read more

Living between Beverly Hills and Corona Del Mar, my options for potential plastic surgeons were infinite. Let's face it, these are two of the most appearance-important places in the world. In desperate need of a reconstructive nose job, to fix what another plastic surgeon had screwed up, I took the time to interview countless doctors in 90210 and 92625. I pretty much settled on a well known surgeon in Beverly Hills - until fate stepped in. While picking up groceries in Corona Del Mar, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Daines at the salad bar. We struck up a casual conversation and I asked what type of surgery he specialized in. I was taken aback when he told me reconstructive nose jobs. Believing in a higher power, I took this as a sign that perhaps he was the doctor for me. I did some research and soon discovered he was beyond qualified and had a sterling reputation, so I scheduled a consultation. The process was easy and best of all FREE; unlike some doctors who charged for the initial consult. I found the staff friendly, professional and genuinely caring, and truth be told, I can be a demanding patient. A second appointment sealed the deal and I went ahead and scheduled the surgery. It couldn't have been more convenient. I could go on and on, but let me cut to the chase. It's been less than a month and the results are amazing. Doctor Daines under sold and over delivered. I never expected my nose to look this good, this soon. It's straight with minimal swelling and bruising; best of all I can finally breathe. I can only attest for my experience but on a scale of 1 to 10 he's definitely a perfect 10! While surgery is never fun, Dr. Daines and his staff made it as painless as possible. I am a private person but felt compelled to share my experience with him and his staff on here. I give him the highest recommendation possible. read more

I was referred to Dr. Daines by the ER doctor at Hoag Hospital in Irvine after my nose was injured. The ER doctor said my nose was broken but would heal just fine. He said to follow up with Dr. Daines later that week. My nose really didn't feel broken so I put off making the follow up appointment until July3. I went to the appointment thinking Dr Daines would concur with the ER doctor and say all was fine. However, he told me that yes, my nose was broken and needed surgery. Due to the time that had passed and the July 4th holiday, it needed to be done immediately. Dr Daines was willing to fit me in his schedule for that day. I was shocked and upset and decided I would agree with the ER doctor and roll the dice and see how things healed on their own. Immediately after my appointment, I returned to work and reported on my visit. My colleagues were shocked that I wasn't taking Dr. Daines' advice, because they could see that my nose was crooked! I denied it for awhile, then after looking in the mirror several times, I could see it too. I called the office and Dr. Daines had already left for surgery, but his awesome staff reached out to him. He called me back right away, calmed me down and said he would figure out a way to get it done. My surgery went flawless and Dr. Daines even met me on the 4th of July to remove my nasal packing. I think I was most impressed by his follow up on my progress. Even though he had left for vacation, he checked on me several times. This genuine kindness and attentiveness is simply not experienced by most patients. I love Dr. Daines and his staff (especially Isaac!) and I would highly recommend this office. read more

After being disappointed with Botox and fillers in the past, I traveled to Newport from Salt Lake City, Utah to see if Dr. Daines could help me get the results I wasn't able to achieve with other Dr's. He was very honest about the results I should expect from different products and what would be best for my facial features. I am a tiny person and have lost a lot of the fullness in my face. He injected fillers in my cheeks and in the deep lines around my mouth. He also injected filler in my lips and did Botox in my forehead, between my brows and around my eyes. I have been doing Botox for a while and it always pulled my brows too high. Dr. Daines made them look so natural and soft... Less angular and "surprised" looking. I have more softness to the angles in my face due to the filler and people often comment that my face looks less "drawn". I love it!! The LIPS!! I have had my lips done before by another Dr and was NOT happy with them. They looked sooo fake. It was embarrassing. I was really nervous to have them worked on again. Dr. Daines has the greatest bedside manner. He helped me feel relaxed, comfortable, confident, and informed. My lips were perfect! They looked feminine and natural! It was definitely worth the trip and I plan on taking another one! My only regret is not living closer!! read more

My experience with Dr. Daines and his staff can only be described as nothing short of amazing! I have never felt the desire to write a review on yelp; however, I was so impressed by the level of care and kindness afforded to me that I simply had to share my experience with others. In my particular case I was treated for a broken jaw, and unbeknownst to me at the time. When I called his office late in the afternoon to see if I could be seen, he had already left for the day. Fortunately, he cared enough about his patients to return to the office so that I could be treated, which ultimately led to me being admitted for emergency surgery that night (which he performed). Throughout my ordeal he has been the consummate professional and was constantly in touch after my surgery sending me text messages to ensure that I was recovering ok. All of my post-op experiences have maintained the same level of satisfaction as my initial visit. His offices are spotlessly clean and his staff members are all extremely friendly and genuinely good people. Dr. Daines is hands down one of the best doctors I have ever sought care from and I would not hesitate for a second to refer other friends and family members to his practice. read more

21 y/o male for reference I am 5 months post-op from my septorhinoplasty with Dr. Daines When I was a child I had unknowingly broken my nose multiple times playing sports. The bone had healed irregularly over the years, leaving me with an extremely crooked nose and my left nostril comparable to the size of a pinhole. Aside from the functional defects, I felt like I had someone else's nose on my face and it crossed my mind every single day. After going through with the surgery, **I can breathe through my nose**. In terms of aesthetics, I wouldn't change a thing, it is EXACTLY what I wanted. This surgery has been absolutely life changing thanks to the medical knowledge and expertise of Dr. Daines. Ultimately, I went with Dr. Daines because when I went into his office, it didn't feel like I was walking into a business transaction. It felt like we both were on the same team trying to accomplish the same goal, which is how it should be when it comes to medical procedures. Above anything else, Dr. Daines is there for YOU which is so incredibly important when looking for the right doctor. read more

Recently I went to Dr.Daines for Botox. I had my upper face treated so that means forehead and around my eyes and the results have been stunning!. I cannot believe the change. My forehead is smoother and my eyes are open and bright. Being my first time Dr.Daines took the time to answer my questions about getting Botox and the benefits of using Botox for delaying the effects of aging.He also explained the benefits of going to a plastic surgeon for treatment due to level of injection skill. Dr. Daines is a double board certified facial plastic surgeon so his extensive knowledge of facial muscle structures always allows for the best results. The other reason is that the Botox product used is fresh and reconstituted correctly so that my treatment will last. Dr. Daines also had me schedule a follow up so that he could check my results and see that I was satisfied with my results I am not sure any med spa would take that much time to address my needs. I look forward to my next treatment and I highly recommend Dr.Daines to anyone looking to try Botox. read more

Dr. Daines is hands down THE BEST. I went in to fix a sinus problem and to look at straightening my nose that had been broken twice as a child. Dr. Daines could have easily told me I needed rhinoplasty (which would have cost me a fortune), however he instead recommended septoplasty, which was covered by my insurance and was much more affordable. The results were amazing! Not only did he straighten my nose, I can now breathe better, sleep better and have less allergies! On top of being extremely trustworthy, Dr. Daines and his staff are all very friendly. They each made an effort to get to know me and made sure I felt welcomed every time I walked in the door. I never thought I would say that I enjoyed a Doctor's visit, but I truly did. Anyone looking into doing facial reconstruction needs to see Dr. Daines!!!

Where do I start...I have been wanting a rhinoplasty for years. I'm 50 and finally decided to do it. Dr. Daines fixed my son's broken jaw while on vacation in Newport and I knew right away he was a good surgeon. I have been to several plastic surgeons seeking a nose job and most will tell you what you want to hear. Dr. Daines is honest, an artist and his prices are reasonable! He made me feel very comfortable and helped me achieve the results I've wanted for years. If you are considering surgery, see Dr. Daines and you will agree that he has the other plastic surgeons are lacking. It's worth a plane ride to CA. You can thank me and my son later! I can't be happier and wish I would have found him 20 years ago. My son's broken jaw was possibly a blessing in disguise for me. read more

Dr. Daines did my septo-rhinoplasty four months ago and I am thrilled with the results. I had a deviated septum and a crooked, broad nose bridge. I had been considering a rhinoplasty for years but was very hesitant because, being in my fifties, I didn't want it to change my overall appearance or make me more self-conscious. Dr. Daines was the second surgeon I consulted and I knew immediately that I was going to trust him with the procedure. He is warm, very funny, and he completely puts you at ease even though you're discussing something that has affected your self confidence for years. He understood the outcome I wanted and he assured me that he had no intention of making my nose look "done." Dr. Daines is a true artist! read more

He was confident that he could improve the appearance of my nose and my breathing. I've never had surgery in the past and was quiet nervous but knowing Dr. Daines is double board certified and very meticulous. I knew I was in good hands. This was honestly the best decision in my life. I am so happy with the way my nose looks now and especially being able to breath a lot better. Thank you Dr. Daines for being such an amazing Doctor. read more

Dr. Daines is amazing! He is double board certified and specializes only in surgeries of the face. This is critical. I had a very complicated revision operation on my nose. Had a ton of scar tissue from a prior surgery and could not breathe well. Dr. Daines masterfully reshaped everything! I know it was a long, difficult procedure but he was meticulous and intensely focused on the outcome he wanted. And it paid off! He has enough energy for three surgeons combined and he needed it for my procedure! No one else could have done what he did. I am truly grateful for this highly skilled and very caring surgeon! read more

Dr Daines is extremely knowledgeable, kind and interested in helping me get the results I'm looking for. He has done a laser, peels and Botox on me. He has been very useful in helping me understand what is the best treatment to reach the results I'm looking for. I've been very pleased with the results and planning to do surgery with him. Many friends have told me he has the best bedside manner they have seen and I have to agree! Beside that, he has done surgery on a few of my friends and the results are natural and just what they were asking for. His rhinoplasty results are incredible! read more

I've had 2 Kybella treatments, filler in my lips, a chin implant and Botox done by Steven Daines, MD at the Appearance Center and I love the results! I love the way my double chin has just melted away with the Kybella, and there's no surgery involved. The procedure was easy with little pain thanks to the numbing cream :) The results are very natural. No one knows I've had anything done until I tell them. I definitely recommend Dr. Daines. Bonus, they have an awesome esthetician named Helen. She just finished a series of 8 peels and my skin looks amazing. read more

First, let me start off by saying I struggled with acne for several years. I finally got it under control, and was left with scarring, uneven texture, and overall yucky skin. I've been a patient of Dr. Daines for a couple years now (BOTOX AND FILLER GOD!!) and we had discussed Co2 laser for quite some time. 2 weeks ago, we finally pulled the trigger, and I couldn't be happier with my results. I've been receiving so many compliments on my skin and I feel so much more confident not having to hide under a ton of makeup. THANK YOU Dr. Daines!!! read more

My experience with Dr. Daines has been absolutely exceptional. I consulted him for a rhinoplasty to address a bump on my nose and shared my vision for a natural, yet refined, result. He delivered exactly what I hoped for--small, elegant, and beautifully balanced. His entire office staff is incredibly kind and supportive, and Dr. Daines himself has a calming presence that instantly puts you at ease. If you're searching for a skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring doctor, I wholeheartedly recommend him! read more

I came to Dr. Daines to see what I could do about my shallow tear troughs. The minute he started talking I felt 100% comfortable and trusting of his work. He's not there to sell you the most expensive product or convince you that you need a million thing like some places. He ended up doing one string of voluma xc , which was $500. This lasted about a year and made the biggest difference in my face! The staff is amazing, the place is amazing, he is amazing. Could not recommend anyone more. read more

I am writing an update to my previous review of Dr. Daines. I cannot express more how pleased I am with the results of my eye peels. I had my first one last year and had very nice results. The wrinkles, crinkles, around the eyes look softer and tighter. I just had my second eye peel and am shocked how much more youthful the skin around my eyes appear since my first eye peel. I will definely be back for another before my daughter's wedding. I am so pleased! Thank you Dr Daines!! Diane read more

I have the highest regard and praise for Dr. Daines, whom I met after I was in a snow accident in which I had multiple serious injuries to my face. He was kind and compassionate to me and my family throughout this rough experience. Dr. Daines' talent and patience through the long and difficult surgery returned me to my fomer self. Now, 7 1/2 months later, I look in the mirror and marvel that the reflection I see is the happy, healthy face I had before the surgery. read more

First off, the front desk team and consultation was not pressuring at all. It was very informative and was a clear process from the beginning. Also, the AviClear treatment here was ten times more affordable than any other place I consulted with and with almost no side effects compared to oral acne medication like Accutane. I've been struggling with acne since I was a teenager and finally found a solution! Nima was fantastic the entirety of the treatment regime and helped keep me comfortable the entire time. Within the first two weeks of the first treatment I started seeing clearing and continued seeing additional clearing through the treatment process. It takes a few months after the final (third) treatment for full effects to take place, but I'm already so happy with the results. I loved the office and Nima so much that I am now doing laser hair removal with them and that has also been a lovely process. I couldn't recommend Nima and the Sajjadian team more!

He has the most amazing credentials and education to back this up, but honestly, it was his bedside manner that did it for me. He is relatable, calm, not at all a salesman, and exceptionally perceptive of a woman's skin and face care needs. He did not try to "upsell," and I love that the practice is very small and private. It feels like the best-kept secret. I have never been put into the waiting room (although there is one). You get taken directly into an exam room each time you go, whether for a consult or pre-op or post-op. His wonderful staff (especially Holly) make me feel right at home and took very good care of me. All the while, remember, it's very private and serene. You do not feel like you are in a medi-spa. Instead, you know you are in the office of a very skilled surgeon. I chose Dr. Boeckmann for these reasons, and I feel that I made the most informed and most skilled choice. From beginning to end, I was happy with Dr. Boeckmann and my results are fabulous. I would trust him with any procedure, whether you're looking for anti-aging skin care like lasers, botox, fillers, etc. or if you need a little surgical help to look and feel your best.

I'd wanted breast surgery for a long time. My mother saw Dr. Afifi about 20 years ago and told me…read morethere was no need to shop around--if I wanted a truly great plastic surgeon, I needed to see Dr. Afifi. She was absolutely right. The consultation was amazing--comfortable, informative, and honestly, I had fun! I felt so good about the whole experience that I scheduled my surgery date right then and there. The staff is incredibly helpful and sweet, and Dr. Afifi answered every single question I had. By the day of my surgery, I was excited and confident that I was going to walk away with exactly what I wanted--and I did. For my breast augmentation, Dr. Afifi used Silicone Soft Touch implants, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Afifi took incredible care of me every step of the way. To say I'm obsessed with my breast lift and augmentation would be an understatement. I would recommend Dr. Afifi again and again. If you're reading this, stop searching--she's the surgeon you want. Dr. Afifi, thank you so much! You are amazing and a true artist at what you do. -T. S.

Dr. Afifi made me feel completely safe and cared for every step of the way. You can feel how much she genuinely cares about her patients, and that makes all the difference.

I got liposuction done in the abdomen and flank area. The experience went very smoothly from the beginning to the end.

He goes over the what your personal goals of surgery are and really explains what can be created. He is upfront about what to expect during the surgical journey. It is a process but it's worth it. The day of surgery went as well as expected. No issues occurred. I was cared for very well by Dr Paydar and his surgical team. I am now 3 months out since my surgery. I have had several follow ups with Dr Paydar since to monitor my progress. I have healed nicely. I am very much in love with my new figure!
