    Left side before- neck falling, jawline loose. Lines around the mouth. Right side, neck lifted, tight jawline. Smoother around thmouth. ;-)
    Debi R.

    Over 1 year post-op, and I could not be happier with the final results from my procedure. I had a lower face and neck lift and C02 Laser around my mouth. Before having this surgery done, I consulted with 3 other doctors and read countless reviews. During this time, I was chatting with a good friend. She mentioned she just had a similar procedure done. I wanted to know everything, and I could not wait to see her. A few weeks later, she came over and WOW! We have known one another for years; she looked like a refreshed, younger version of her beautiful self. This is exactly what I was looking for. We also "tested" her new look on a friend who did not know she had this done. When our mutual friend walked in, the first words out of her mouth were, "You look great". We then spilled the beans and told her about the procedure. When I saw firsthand the natural results that were achieved, I made an appointment to meet with Dr. Kolder. We spoke at length about what I was unhappy with and my desire to have the most natural appearance. I was 61 at the time and wanted the clock rolled back 7-10 years. Still looking age-appropriate, but erasing some of the gravity's effect on me. I'm a very straightforward person, and I very much appreciated Dr. Kolder's directness. He was very clear about setting expectations regarding my expected results. The decision to go with Dr. Kolder was made with careful consideration and after seeing results firsthand. Now, 1 year later, friends will comment about how good I look. I don't mind. ;-) I'm not shy about sharing that I had some help. I was treated with the utmost care from Dr. Kolder and the entire staff at Pacifica Plastic Surgery.  I have, and will continue to, wholeheartedly refer him to others without hesitation.

    I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kolder and his practice! I had 2 consultations before deciding to choose this practice for my breast augmentation. 6 months post op now and I couldn't be happier with the results. He really listened to what I wanted and delivered better than I could have imagined! The ladies at the office are also wonderful, scheduling and financing are easy and all of my questions were thoughtfully answered. Thank you again Dr!

    Before breast reduction

    Thank you to Dr Kolder!!!!! I had my breast reduction surgery with Dr Kolder in October and it is now my fourth month post op. I came in with breasts that were wildly different shapes and sizes, and I just wanted them off. My only request was that I wanted enough weight taken off of me for the surgery to be worth it. It indeed was worth it and I am so happy I did it and thankful for the work that Dr. Kolder and his staff have done for me. The Staff - all of the staff at the Pacifica plastic Surgery center are seriously so nice. Olga and Crystal are super awesome at welcoming you in and making sure you get an appointment that works for you. Geena was super encouraging and although I only talked with her in person one time, she gave me her number and told me I could text her any questions at any time and she would answer, which she did and she was super quick to respond! Lupita was really amazing at answering all of my left over questions and always makes me feel comfortable during checkups and when I got my bandages removed she was awesome. The staff was also so kind to me when I got sick right before my surgery and happily found me a new surgery time slot. (I think her name was-) Nancy the surgical nurse was so kind and supportive when I arrived for surgery and she was super helpful to get me into surgery and made sure I was comfortable when I left. Dr Kolder himself was always straight forward and honest about what he would be able to do and I was comfortable with him throughout the entirety of my seeing him. I would describe Dr Kolder as highly efficient, so if you're not good at coming up with questions or concerns on the spot during your appointments then I would suggest writing them and bringing them with you. Regardless of this Dr Kolder and The staff was always willing to answer any questions/ concerns I had during my appointments and over the phone. Dr Kolder Breast reduction plan- For my breast reduction Dr Kolder did no drains and used dissolvable stitches. This was my first surgery so I have nothing to compare it to, but overall I'd say I was very glad I had no drains and no stitches to remove, my stitches dissolved with no issues. I was nervous that I'd still have a lopsided chest as Dr. Kolder had to remove literally twice as much fat from one side than the other, but he had planned correctly and my breasts are now the same size which is so awesome. I had Dr Kolders personal phone number after my surgery and although I didn't use it, it was comforting to have the option. Insurance- Another important note was that Dr. Kolder was adamant that the could get my insurance company to cover most of my surgery and he was successful in doing so. He will fight for you to help you with your insurance! Overall I am beyond happy to have had my chest reduced and I have been back to regular life and more since surgery. Thank you again to Dr. Kolder and all of the team at Pacifica Plastic Surgery Center for giving me a new life. I cannot say thank you enough. (The photos are before and afters in the same shirt without a bra. The after was taken around 3months after surgery)

    scar should be under fold, not ~2 inches lower. 4 other surgeons have said this is his fault and his fault alone, 100% avoidable.
    Linsey B.

    It pains me to write this as I genuinely liked Dr. Kolder and his office staff, but the depression I've had due to my results is intense. I have had consults with other surgeons since my surgery with Dr. Kolder (one of them being a top surgeon in Beverly Hills) and all have the same consensus--he took a cookie cutter approach to a problem that should have been unique for my situation. I had a tummy tuck along with an explant (removal of implants) and a lift. Dr. Kolder assured me that doing everything all at once was totally fine and he could do it no problem, yet I'm left with horrible visible scars. The placement of my under breast scar should have been under the fold, but mine are much lower and far over into my chest. This was avoidable but now I'm left unable to wear even a sports bra without them being exposed. Further, my tummy tuck incision is wrapped around to my back and there is absolutely no reason for it to be so long. The words inexperienced, amateur and negligent were used by other surgeons to describe his work on me. He offered to do a scar revision at one point and was supposed to give me a call via FaceTime but it never happened. I can't proceed to do that with a surgeon I no longer trust anyway. Wish I would have seen all of these negative reviews before I went through with surgery.

I followed exact aftercare instructions, but the procedure was done sloppy and hurried. Dr. Shavanni was in a rush which was obvious. She placed extremely loose stitches and very few. She also MISSED other spots that needed treatment which had to be corrected. The wound opened up and I was told they sent pictures to her. She never replied and I never received a call from the office which was concerned when they took pictures to send to her. They said she would send further instructions. I found her to be uninformative and in a rush. She's only in the office 2 days a week which is problematic. I now have to see a wound care specialist.

I consulted him about a deep facial skin cancer while I was also undergoing several heart procedures, so I was very concerned about the treatment options.

The healing was surprisingly fast, and there is very little scarring.

Worse yet, the new Dr he got is fresh out of medical school with no experience other than internship. So you are going to the best of doctors and actually seeing the most inexperienced of ones because frankly he doesn't care that you chose him not an unknown to treat you for things like possible skin cancer. It is beyond uncaring. It is unprofessional. Why a nice person with years of experience of dealing with people would do this to his patients, I have no idea!
