I'm officially 7 months post op and can truly say that Dr. Brown changed my life. He and his team went above and beyond to make me feel safe and confident in my decision. Our consult was incredibly in depth and they were able to get me on the schedule within 2 months. The surgical team took great care of me day of and provided fantastic follow up care. The medical assistants at the office were my daily point of contact ensuring that Dr. Brown and his team were reviewing my pictures and that my healing was moving along as expected. Every day I get to wake up in a body that feels like home because I trusted Dr. Brown and his team. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

After getting fed up with other people's comments about my body, I decided to do elective surgery for gynecomastia (man boobies). I called around and got a few consultations, but the sales lady at Dr. Brown's office really got me. She sold me on the fact that Dr. Brown was a specialist in gyno and would be my best option. She also sold me on Dr. Brown being "so good" that he didn't need to leave tubes in me after the surgery. This is why it was botched. Other surgeons would have used drainage tubes which would have prevented this. The surgery ended up getting botched and my left nipple looks worse than before. A staph infection built up and eventually exploded outwards, ruining my nipple forever. The good: -Dr. Brown was a decently nice guy and most of his staff was cool. -When my nipple burst, they patched me up for free and quickly. -They offered to try and fix it at their cost. The bad: -They definitely could have acted quicker when the infection became obvious. They started by prescribing me the wrong antibiotics which allowed the infection to swell even more. -They tried to blame the infection on me, suggesting that I did not follow recovery guidelines after a couple of comments I made (this is bull, they were covering for themselves). -Dr. Brown kept gas lighting me on the follow up visits saying "wow, everything looks so good" and ignoring my displeasure at the results. -The NP dropped my valium on the HOSPITAL FLOOR and then MADE ME TAKE IT. Lady, for $9,000 get me another valium! Disgusting. -The emergency hotline for weekends is BS. After my nipple burst, I waited for 6 hours for a call back. Leaking puss and blood the entire time. -Dr. Brown did not shave the surgery site. I'm no surgeon, but I'm pretty sure you are suppose to do that. I'm a hairy guy. HOW WAS HE SUPPOSE TO SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING? I was shocked when I woke up and saw all of my hair was still there. Overall, I deeply regret choosing Dr. Brown as my surgeon. I should have gone with the guy who was gonna use the tubes and not listened to the sales lady. I feel just as self conscious about my body, if not more, than before. $9,000 wasted and I don't think it can be fixed. read more

Botched surgery. Wound got infected and they didn't treat the swelling in time. Wound burst and permanent scarring occurred. End result was worse than what I was getting corrected in the first place. Dr brown kept gaslighting me saying "this looks great" when it simply did not. I wish I had gone with one of the other surgeons. Several questionable practices throughout the process (np had me eat a Valium that fell n the hospital floor). Go somewhere else. read more

Dr. Brown and his staff are incredible. I had my breast augmentation procedure in April and I couldn't be happier with the results! This is something I had considered for 10 YEARS, but was always so afraid of the results and how it would affect my body. I was extremely flat/deflated and uneven after having 3 kids that I breastfed. It was a big insecurity for me. Now I can't believe how natural and well my implants fit my body. I wish I had gotten this done with him years ago. The entire process and procedure were seamless. I was so worried before the surgery, but everyone took amazing care of me. A couple things I want to advise on if you are considering a breast augmentation. -First and foremost go to Dr. Brown. His before and afters on his website say it all! - He really is the expert on what size is right for your body, I'm so glad that I listened to his recommendation. - Right after you may feel completely freaked out, depressed, regretful. This is normal. Everything will settle and you WILL be elated when it does. - Be prepared for endless compliments and attention! - Schedule your consultation now, he is really busy because he is THAT GOOD. Thank you Dr. Brown and team for everything! read more

Dr. Brown botched my surgery and scarred me for life. He then proceeded to gaslight me into thinking that it was a success. He told me that there would be no visible scarring but my nipple looks like somebody jammed their thumb in there. It's very obvious to see read more

Expect him to gaslight you when things go wrong. This man throws a fit instead of responding to concerns professionally.

Don't walk... but RUN AWAY from this doctor!!! 3 years ago I received a bellesoma breast lift and augmentation that (literally) ruined my life. I'm 22 years old and I've had 3 revisions after my surgery with Dr. Brown, two of which were performed by Dr. Dubrow's "botched." Dr. Brown left me botched. In our consultation I told him I wanted a breast lift + augmentation. I had lost a lot of weight resulting in sagging breasts (prior to my surgery with him). I wanted to have lots of perky upper pole volume which would be achieved by a high profile implant. Dr. Brown said I couldn't get the results I wanted by a regular breast lift because my tissue was too weak and I would have to get them every 5-10 years. Dr. Brown convinced me to get a bellesoma breast lift and do a second surgery 6 months later to put implants in. I really did not like the look and scars of the bellesoma but preferred the scars to the vertical lift... 3 months after my augmentation, I find out that I was Dr. browns first patient he has ever put implants in after a bellesoma!! Side note: The bellesoma + lift is 25k compared to breast lift + Aug is 15k. Around this time I also noticed my implants were starting to bottom out. When I called, they said it was due to my skin laxity and my weak tissue and in order to fix the problem I'd have to spend another 12k for operating room fees and anesthesia.... At this point, knowing that I was Dr. browns first patient he had put implants in after a bellosama (after the fact!!) I felt like I couldn't trust him. And the fact he would even try to make me pay to fix the problem made me livid. I was left with large scars, a double bubble, and horrible bottoming out. Ive been so insecure these past three years and it's taken a huge toll on my mental health. If I would do things differently I would have never gotten surgery to begin with!!! read more

If you value your body, I wouldn't go here. They do not provide informed consent prior to surgery and he was incredibly dismissive and condescending when I was very unhappy with my results. Please consider finding someone else. read more

I got a breast lift and implants done with Dr. Brown in March 2021. Before surgery, he answered all of my questions and didn't let me go too big, which turned out to be the best choice. He is not one of those flashy Instagram doctors, but he is a true professional and is serious about his work and keeping his patients safe. The whole process from start to finish was perfect, I had no complications and I got the boobs I always wanted. I even woke up from surgery in a good mood. Every single day I wake up happy and so thankful for him and his staff. I trust him with my life. read more

Breast Implant Removal, No Reconstruction, 51 yrs. old From a 32DD back to a 32AA Result: I'm highly pleased and it was a great and peaceful experience Daniel Brown and his amazing team are phenomenal! Book while he's still available and so affordable. I must lead by expressing how available his staff was for me through their amazing messaging system. Often they texted me back with information within a minute and we're always personable and remembered me. For me, accessibility is HUGE. I'm 51 and had my breast implants removed 8 days ago. I didn't have reconstruction, just the removal, and I am so pleased! I am originally a 32AA and had DD implants put in 11 years ago in Portland, Or, from another top-rated surgeon. I honestly expected sagging and so forth, and can't believe how great these girls have held up. I think this age point was crucial for a positive result with remaining elasticity. At least going the simple route of no reconstruction. The office is so swanky and comfortable, with low lights and sofas in the lobby, and modern, spa like music. This was important for me because I get anxiety around procedures. The team was helpful in supporting this by accommodating me with some before/after medications that helped me to relax. The entire process of payment options also went great. I was able to finance everything with no interest for a year. I also found his cost to be reasonable for a top-rated surgeon. Another important detail was that the team recommended several holistic options for me to manage pain so that I could avoid taking many pills. They had me on arnica and some other light options that worked beautifully in my quick recovery process. I also had the option for heavier pain meds but didn't end up using them. By day 2, I didn't even need to take Tylenol. The anesthesiologist was phenomenal. He phoned me the day before, and the evening after the procedure, to check in. I felt so comforted and safe with him, and the operation itself was painless and peaceful, only lasting around 20 minutes. He is very experienced, been doing his job for many years, and I couldn't have been in better hands. I looked around for a surgeon who is, above all, safe and careful in his work, and after finding Dr. Daniel. Brown, I looked no further. Highly recommended! read more

I had inner thigh, inner knee and frank liposuctions and fat grafting to my breasts. I was told 70% of the fat will remain and I will be able to have full cup. He was so confident about it but my breast were all gone after six months and result of my inner thigh lipo was uneven with big dents as you see on the picture. I was very disappointed wasting $$$ money and I looked better before the surgery. My new Doctor, Dr. Handler fixed my ugly thigh plus knee, ankle and calf lipo plus fat grafting with half of the money I spent on Dr. Brown. I wish I have never had procedure with him. read more

Daniel Brown, MD - I looked better before - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - La Jolla, California

This was my first and only cosmetic surgery, which I took very seriously and had a total of 4 consultations and a vast amount of research. Dr.Brown made me feel validated in my size, never out any pressure on me, answered all my questions thoroughly, and the results were phenomenal. I've had several friends say to me that my augmentation was one of the best they've seen or their "favorite boobs" . I highly recommend Dr.Browns services if you are looking for natural breasts that heal well with zero complications! read more

Let me preface this by saying I like the size and shape of the breasts. But after undergoing a breast lift I was left with huge scars that make me ashamed and prevent me from feeling comfortable in my body at all. I've been severely depressed and the scars have left me feeling so insecure. Dr. Brown convinced me to do a breast lift when I didn't want to, saying the scarring would be very minimal. He said the scaring around the areola would blend into my skin. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM. My scar is about a half inch thick on both breast. And no, it's not a keloid scar, just a bad scar. When I sent pictures to the doctor, he said it was MY fault and that my weight must have fluctuated and caused the skin to stretch...my weight has NOT fluctuated more than five pounds. I asked if there was anything he could do and he says that he wants to do a vertical lift to fix it. So, more scars to fix these scars. I'm frustrated because I feel like I was lied to. I was told this procedure leaves a very small white line. It wasn't explained to me that the scar might stretch leaving a wide, unsightly scar. Now I have to live my life embarrassed to ever take off my top in front of anyone even myself and Dr. Brown blames me for the poor result instead of taking responsibility. Such a shame. With so many different options, I'd choose a different doctor, one who is honest and takes responsibility to fix his mistakes. read more

Please do not go to the doctor, he completely ruined me after a breast lift with implants. The stitches didn't hold together and ended up splitting by nipple completely apart. I had horrible scarring, open wounds and he kept trying to revise it only to make it worse! I had to go to another doctor to fix his mistakes and leave me more financially burdened. The pictures are extremely traumatizing and just horrible that he is even able to perform surgery. read more

If there were more starts to choose I would give Dr. Brown and his staff more than 5 stars. They have taken care of me throughout my entire journey with breast augmentation. Dr. Brown, Anahita NP, Melanie, Valerie, the anesthesiologist and the OR nurses took tremendous care of my body and me as a person. I would highly recommend Dr. Brown for any plastic surgery needs, he truly cares, and I am a very happy patient! read more

Dr. Brown is an exceptionally talented plastic surgeon, to whom I will be eternally grateful! I previously had breast augmentation performed by another plastic surgeon that completely botched and disfigured my appearance. Fortunately, a friend recommended that I schedule a consultation with Dr. Brown, which I did, and the outcome of Dr. Brown's work is absolutely amazing! Dr. Brown is extremely competent, knowledgeable and a true artist. Unlike my previous surgeon, he answered all my questions in addition to giving viable advice. In addition, Dr. Brown's staff are also wonderful, very professional and have provided me with exceptional care as well. I give Dr. Brown the highest recommendation possible, and cannot thank him enough! read more

I cannot praise Dr. Daniel Brown and his wonderful staff enough for my experience with my breast augmentation. From my initial consult, to meeting Dr. Brown in office to go over my treatment and options to the day of surgery and the follow up care I received I have nothing negative to say. I had all my questions answered at my appointments leading to surgery. I was given thorough information to satisfy my 100+ questions and felt heard about my concerns and desired outcome. I am 3 weeks post op and I feel and look fantastic! Pain was almost non existent, bruising was minimal and incision site looks beautiful! This all shows that Dr. Brown has mastered and perfected his surgeries to a golden standard that I hope other surgeons can achieve. His staff are some of the most professional and kind people I've come to know. The time they invested in getting to know me is amazing and unheard of. Melanie, Valerie and Dr. Anahita Kemp have been such a pleasure to talk to and assist me pre and post surgery. I without a doubt would recommend Dr. Brown as a surgeon for breast augmentation and would assure you that you would feel safe, cared for and would love your journey with them as well. I read more

Rachel is amazing! It has been such a pleasure dealing with her. Everyone has been so accommodating and they are always on top of everything. For personal reasons, I've decided not to go with the procedure but the customer service was top notch. I would definitely recommend Dr Brown and his incredible staff to anyone. read more

I had an allergic reaction to getting my eyelashes done and have had a permanent bag under my left eye from the skin and muscle stretching. I went to Dr. Brown to beg for his help and I was seeking surgery and willing to pay for any needed procedure. He introduced me to first try pelleve and persuaded me to consider surgery as a last option vs first option. I am so lucky to have his guidance and am now completely healed without any surgery needed. I consider Dr Brown a trustworthy and talented Dr who recommends what is best for the patient. If you are looking for an honest doctor, who's also kind and caring and handsome search no more! read more

After meeting with a few doctors and doing some research on my own, I am so happy that I decided to go I with Dr. Brown for my breast augmentation! All of his staff are so sweet and really go the extra mile to answer all of your questions and make sure you're comfortable throughout your whole experience. If you're looking into getting a procedure done, I would highly recommend going here. I'm over the moon with my results and it's only been a few weeks since my procedure, I can't wait to see the finished product once everything is done healing! read more

Daniel Brown, MD - three weeks after breast augmentation - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - La Jolla, California

UPDATE: the office is totally misleading regarding their charges. After my previous experience, the surgeon called me to apologize and asked I give them another chance. Reluctantly, I emailed Melanie regarding how much they'll charge for an extended tummy tuck. Keep in mind, she had already told me they typically charge $8k-12k depending on depth of procedure, and that lipo is included in that cost! She also bragged that Dr. Brown does so much work that most other places would charge $20k for. So I patiently awaited their quote... and red flags went up immediately. Melanie said in the email that they included a monsplasty in the price (which I do not need or want), and when I opened the proposal, the base charge for a TT (and monsplasty that isn't even listed in the description) is over $9k alone, and then they charge $2,300 for EACH section of your abdomen that needs lipo on top of that!! They also added in an additional $500 pain killer without me asking for that or asking me about it first. So my total price is over $19k. SERIOUSLY? That's twice as much as quoted, they're throwing in other procedures I didn't ask to be quoted for and didn't discuss with them, extra pain meds I didn't ask for, AND I had initially specifically asked if lipo was included... she did NOT mention its many, many thousands of dollars more on top of the cost of the TT. I am SO BEYOND disappointed because I was hopeful that I'd be able to work with this office following my previous experience. The surgeon seemed nice... so although reluctant, I obviously was willing to give it another go. Oh well. Very sad and embarrassed with my experience so far with this office. I was initially in contact with Melanie shortly after inquiring about a tummy tuck on Thursday, July 20th. We had a long talk about my desired surgery and she described all these wonderful things about the office. I wanted to do a consultation with the surgeon and she said it'd be a faster process if I emailed her several photos of myself wearing close to nothing so the surgeon could review and give me a virtual consultation because they're too busy for an in person initial consult. Being that it was Thursday afternoon, she said the surgeon was already out for the day and has surgery scheduled for all of Friday, so he'd be right back to me early the following week. Well, I sent in the photos the evening of our phone conversation 11 days ago and have heard ZERO from anyone in the office. Don't get me wrong - Melanie was VERY sweet and I appreciated the time she took to speak with me... but SO sad about the lack of follow up. It was extremely hard to build the courage to send almost naked photos of myself to a stranger via the internet, and VERY disheartening to not hear back from them when promised. Now I feel like my photos are floating around for anyone to see... how can I trust a place to perform major surgery on me when they can't even follow through with the simplest task of emailing or calling me back? I told her that my goal was to have the body of my dreams before my husband gets back from deployment early next year, guess that's not happening... I'm scared to even contact another surgeon after this experience. Horrible feeling. I was SO ready for this surgery, but this lack of communication and follow through is just not worth the hard earned money :( read more

I recently had the Bellesoma breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Brown. First off, I had set up several consultations with several plastic surgeons in the San Diego area. My first consultation was at Dr. Brown's office, and my experience with the ladies who work in the office (Melanie and Amber), was so comfortable and informative. And when Dr. Brown performed his examination, I was still just as comfortable. You know how certain people who are extremely intelligent lack some social skills? Dr. Brown happens to possess both skills, and was very relatable and knows how to get on your level. That day I decided I was going to have my procedure done by him, and didn't even go through with my other consultations with other surgeons. The procedure experience was not what I expected. Instead of going to a hospital, I went to a small cosmetic surgery center in Del Mar. It made me feel so much more comfortable, while still feeling just as clean and professional. My anesthesiologist had called me the night before to introduce herself, and was so friendly the day of. The nurses definitely helped me feel at ease. Everyone was very communicative with my husband, and sat down and explained to him all of my medications and everything I would need. This all goes to show that Dr. Brown goes above and beyond to make every step comfortable for his patients. As for the results of my procedure- I could not be happier. I feel so natural and comfortable in my own skin, and I'm only two and a half weeks post-op. Dr. Brown knew exactly what size to take my breasts down to in order to still look natural on my body, and the lift is FANTASTIC. Also, I don't have the lollipop scar that a normal reduction/enhancement leaves (thank you Bellesoma method!). If you're nervous about a cosmetic surgery that you've been thinking to have done, set up a consultation with Dr. Brown. Himself and his staff are so incredibly easy to communicate with, and will help you decide what is right for you (without the sales pitch). Thank you Melanie, Amber, and Dr. Brown! read more

Dr. Brown truly listens and takes his time to understand your vision. After looking at his procedure photos, I knew he would be able to create the natural look that I was going for. We discussed my favorite photos, used 3D imaging, and tried different silicone sizers to choose the perfect implant size. Later, when I got nervous they would be too big, he reminded me of the specific photos and goals we had discussed, and reassured me that it was the right choice. I'm so glad I listened to him- he is a perfectionist and an expert at his craft. His entire staff is wonderful and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. The anesthesiologist "breathed" me to sleep with a mask because I have an irrational fear of needles. Both Dr. Brown and the anesthesiologist texted me after surgery and would check on me regularly to see if I had any questions or concerns. I'm thrilled with my results and I'm so thankful that I chose Dr. Brown. read more

I loved everythng about my experience with Dr Brown, from my consultation all the way through after my procedure. I have always had self esteem issues with my breast, but those issues are gone they came out perfect, with minimal pain after. that was the biggest thing for me was recovery pain but it was so quick and not as bad as i was expecting.100% satisfied read more

The Best ever! I have been coming to Dr Brown for about seven years now and I will never see another doctor! I've had Botox, fillers and smart Lipo on my stomach. Dr. Brown is a perfectionist in all that he does. His work is so natural and well thought out. He is a great listener and does exactly what he says he's going to do-- he doesn't try to add extra things that I don't need and can't afford. I'm small framed and was getting bigger and bigger in my stomach area and I felt like all I could see when I looked in the mirror was my gut. I was frustrated too because I exercise and eat well. I would never have considered going under the knife for this but when I learned about Smart Lipo, I decided to inquire about it with Dr. Brown. I had the procedure done in his office and because he uses the smallest incisions with some sort of laser, there are NO scars on my stomach! I'm 45 and still wear a bikini. I'm so happy with my stomach!!! It's been about three years and it's still exactly the same, with no gut in sight, but not unnatural looking either. And when I work out regularly, it looks even better! Dr. Brown is professional in every sense of the word. I've never felt embarrassed in front of him even though I've felt very embarrassed about some old scars on my face. He glanced at my scars and recommended filler and now I can't even see them! I've hated the scars so badly that I never went without makeup even though that didn't really cover them. Now I go wherever I want with no makeup. And the filler lasts for a couple of years on me!! I've had chronic headaches and migraines for years but not after I get Botox!! No matter how stressed out I get, Botox prevents the migraines from even starting. And Dr Brown is very meticulous about where he does his injections. He never bruises me. And they use cream to numb the area so it is not very painful. And I'd also like to mention the other people who work with Dr. Brown. Melanie always goes above and beyond to get me appointments that work for my schedule. She's extremely kind and has wonderful customer service! She makes me feel like a friend and I look forward to seeing her. As personal as it is for me to admit to these procedures, it's worth it because I would recommend Dr. Brown to everyone. Some of my closest friends have seen him for a variety of things and love love love his work too! With so many people out there providing the many treatments available, it's hard to sort through them, so if you want someone who you can trust completely and you want the very best, see Dr. Brown. I've done the research for you and he's hands down the best!! read more

Daniel Brown and his staff are absolutely amazing. I had VIP service from start to finish and could see results right away. I loved the whole experience and can't wait for my next visit. He's definitely worth the drive from LA to SD.wouldn't go to anyone else. Dr. Brown is the best of the best! read more

My breasts have terrible scars and my nipples are not even close to a circle. I went for a reduction and burst implant. I trusted Dr. Brown. The surgery went well, recovery went well but when I saw my scars and what was left of my nipples, I was very sad and disheartened. I had texted Dr Brown the pictures of how the stitches were not even close to holding the skin together. I was told that they would heal properly. My breasts look great in a bra and are smaller but I am so ashamed of the scars that I can't post a picture. I just don't want that out there for anyone to see. I would say that Dr. Brown is average and you should expect an average result. Not bad, not great but you will have a healthy surgery and recovery. I did but was left with deformed nipples and very bad scarring, due to the stitches not holding and creating scars. The staff is amazing, I hope this review helps you. read more

I've been to several doctors and Dr. Brown puts me at ease. I am comfortable with him and the results I've experienced while working with him are the best. He is a plastic surgeon, he knows what the procedures he offers can and can't do. I never feel like I am being sold anything. He's expensive but quality usually is and there are others who charge more so know that you aren't being taken for the most expensive ride out there. Now I just need to make another appointment... read more

I had the best experience with getting the bellesoma breast lift with Dr Brown. He is so patient and gives you his undivided attention. His attention to detail is excellent. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does. My procedure and recovery went exactly how he said it would. Because if this particular lift I now have reduced back tension I didn't even realize I had. I honestly can't thank him enough. The coordinator Melanie from the beginning has been wonderful answering the questions I had. Oh and can't forget about Desiree she is super sweet every visit and helpful getting my prescription in right away when I lost the written one. Completely enjoyable experience all around. read more

Absolutely The Best Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in the world! His awesome results are beautiful and natural looking and his patient care is impressive! He even sends flowers to brighten your life post surgery, makes sure you stay as comfortable as possible throughout the process, and gives his personal direct phone number to every patient in case you have any questions anytime 24/7 he said! I recommend Dr. Brown to everyone I know as I am certain they will also have a positive experience even with the most complex of cases. Dr. Brown can be trusted and is a phenomenal artist and surgeon. He even does the breast reduction and lift with no vertical scar..he is the only surgeon in California to do such a difficult procedure. His results are amazing! Blessed to know Dr. Brown and his entire staff! Thank you Dr. Brown for all you have done for me! read more

I did quite a bit of research into finding an amazing surgeon after having major issues, pain, problems with my Breast implants I had from a different previous plastic surgeon in SD. After carefully researching & taking my time I found Dr. Daniel Brown. I read through all of his achievements and articles about him being the top best Surgeon in his field specializing in reconstruction & dealing with the harder cases/ issues in plastic surgery. I made an appointment and spoke with both Valerie & Melanie who both were also just very amazing, attentive, always making themselves available to any and all my questions. After having my appointment I felt very confident, pleased, that I found Dr. Daniel Brown, he was very honest, professional throughout the entire process. Both Valerie & Melanie were always there for me through out my procedures and surgeries they were all just honestly the Best! After my surgery I followed all directions given to me and I healed well & fast! And damn did my breast look AMAZING!!! I ended up removing my old implants and opted for having my own fat filled into my breast with a lift, thee best decision I have made was choosing Dr. Daniel Brown!!!!!! Thank you Dr. Daniel Brown you have changed my life, I have no pain anymore, no implants anymore it's all me!!!! I look and and feel my best and have have confidence where I didn't before. You won't regret choosing Dr. Daniel Brown if I ever need anything more done I will only go to him from here on out! read more

My chest has always been large, and by the time I saw Dr. Brown (at 21 years old) I was a GG cup. My chest looked a little ridiculous with my frame (5'5", 160lbs), and it was causing all the classic shoulder/neck/back/posture issues, not to mention a slew of mental/self-esteem issues as well. One day I just woke up and knew it was time to find a surgeon and get this done.  I met with other surgeons, but I knew as soon as I had my consultation that Dr. Brown was the surgeon for me. I was completely comfortable with him and his staff, who were all absolutely wonderful. We went through some issues with insurance and the whole staff was amazing. Melanie Mason, the Patient Care Coordinator, was especially supportive and always helpful. She even gave me her cell number to call or text with any questions.  Dr. Brown was very calm and comforting, and I was very comfortable around him even as he had to measure and take photos of my chest before the surgery. The procedure itself went as smoothly as possible; I was up and walking the next day and off of the pain meds in three days. The work he did was phenomenal--my chest is completely symmetrical and I went down six whole cup sizes (a pound off of each side!). The incisions were neat and are already starting to look like thin scars after just three weeks. Dr. Brown also gave my mother and I his cell number so that I could text or call if there were any issues in the first few weeks. He always responded within the hour and was always very patient with me.  Overall, Dr. Brown was absolutely amazing and is still helping me to heal well with minimal scarring. He and his staff are amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. read more

Dr. Brown restored my confidence in my skin. I had a couple of botched mole removals that left dark scars and partial moles. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin and became incredibly insecure. I found Dr.Brown online, scheduled a mole removal and it went great! The staff was really friendly and Dr.Brown really listened to what I wanted. After the procedure, I was still unsure how the scars were going to heal but his aftercare recommendations were amazing and really helped the healing process. It's been about 4 months since the procedure and I have never been so comfortable in my skin! read more

My families experience with Dr. Daniel Brown was everything that we had hoped for. My role was to be the supportive family member for my younger sister whom was having some minor cosmetic work done. From the beginning Dr. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and kind answering all of our questions and easing our concerns. On the day of surgery, Dr. Daniel's staff were very accommodating and the procedure went off without a hitch. Following my sisters recovery she couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you Dr. Daniel! read more

Fantastic Job! I recently had a breast augmentation and Dr. Brown has got to be one of the best doctors in SoCal. I was truly impressed with not only the results but by the staff as well. Everyone (Alex, Melanie, Dr. Brown) was so professional and transparent. They answered all of my questions and set my expectations very early in the process. The results are great! The scarring is minimal and the results are noticeable but natural looking. I would recommend him to anyone read more

Dr.. Brown is across the board one of the best medical providers I have encountered in the last several years. He is a welcome addition to San Diego and heaven knows we need more physicians like him that actually care and aren't a part of the HMO "monster" that has literally decimated all elements of health care over the last twenty years. Especially as it pertains to patient care, availability of appointments and accessibility to needed treatments and services. I was referred to Dr. Brown by a friend who insisted that I see him. I have a scar that has needed revision for more years than I care to recall and I felt it was time to finally investigate the possibilities of what could be done at my tender young age (ha ha).... At first I felt going to Dr. Brown would be a big sales pitch for all the procedures that folks my age (46) are seeking or need (Botox anyone?) which has prevented me from actually seeking consultation with a surgeon that specializes in this area of medicine. Well low and behold there is surgeon who is a specialist in cosmetic surgery that doesn't have an attitude, exhibits a high level of intellectualism and knowledge in his area and who treats his patients as patients...not some number that needs to be met or someone who is cutting into their HMO formula (oops your ten minutes are up, you're out of here..sorry I was six minutes late getting in here says the HMO Doc). Dr. Brown did a thorough consultation with me, explained the benefits of what my procedure would entail and was an all around pleasant individual, let alone physician to be around. Funny thing is I even inquired about those types of procedures that people my age (and younger) like to have that preserve their youth and all I am going to say is that I am intrigued and if I were to have such a procedure Dr. Brown would be the only person I would EVER let or trust facilitate such procedures. His office staff is friendly and the service is exceptional. You are really made to feel welcome and you especially are made to feel safe so that an open and honest dialogue can be had and a treatment plan can be made to fit your individual needs. I say if something is going to make you feel better about yourself then do it!!!! Forget about the haters or the people who have other opinions about aging and what should or shouldn't be done. DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU AND THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO SEE DR. BROWN!!!! read more

I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Brown and I'm beyond pleased with my results! Melanie and all the girls at the office were so sweet and welcoming. I'm now 6 days post op and back to work! Id also like to thank the staff for my beautiful flowers! I'm very satisfied with my over all experience. The entire process was very easy and the office was very accommodating with scheduling. Big thanks to Dr. Brown and his wonderful staff. read more

I got my augmentation years ago. Dr brown was very nice and seemed professional. Unfortunately now that a few years have passed I started noticing issues of severe pain and my implants sitting wrong. I soon Began to not even be able to wear a normal bra due to the pain and couldn't even lay in my left side. I no longer live in CA and went to a surgeon in the state that I live in. After a consultation I decided to fix them. I'm so glad I did. The recovery has been horrible due to the amount of damage that needed to be fixed internally from my previous augmentation. I see so many good reviews and I don't doubt them and so happy for those who have had wonderful results. But I just felt that I needed to share mine now that I continue to recover from my reconstructive surgery and after paying almost triple to fix the mistakes that were made. read more

First time ever getting cosmetic surgery. And let me tell you, I've never had such an amazing experience . This was my first cosmetic surgery done and i went in for a breast aug. Dr. Brown is brilliant and I got the exact results I was wanted. Not to mention his staff is top tier ! Valerie and Rachael were so sweet and helpful! These girls (and Dr. Brown of course) answered all questions and concerns , I felt really good about doing the procedure. I would go back and do it all over again, no regrets! Thanks everyone!!!! read more

It wasn't a recent decision that I wanted to get a rhinoplasty, I had always been uncomfortable with my nose. It's not that it was particularly awful, I just never thought it suited myself, or my face. Only recently though, has actually doing this procedure become more real, when I knew I wouldn't JUST be thinking about it anymore, I knew I was going to do it. So I looked into doctors, found Dr. Browns page rather quickly and decided I would have to meet with him after reading his extensive qualifications (I also liked his private life section, hes a huge animal lover!). Now, Im someone who needs to research reviews on an eyeshadow for a week before buying it, so I figured I'd be seeing 100 different surgeons about this. But the first time I met Dr. Brown, and his incredible nurse Liz, I knew I wouldn't have to see anyone else. We all three connected and they completely understood all my goals I had in mind for my nose. They made all the stupid ways I described my ideas for this surgery : "take off the bump and make the tip look less..ball-ish" sound like..well, exactly what I had in mind. I felt at ease here, something I did not expect to feel at any Dr's office. Dr. Brown has given me the most beautiful new nose, swelling is still going down *as it does for about a year after rhinoplasty* but It is already exactly what I had wanted. He shaved down my hump, removed some cartilage from the tip of my nose to slender it out and lifted the tip so it is slightly perkier. My new nose fits my face and myself perfectly, it is so much softer looking and makes my eyes look larger. Go and see Dr. Brown if you have any cosmetic surgery desires, consultations are free and so are follow up appointments after the surgery!! He truly cares about his patients comfort and happiness with their result! Thank you Dr. Brown! read more
