I'm 9 days post-op from my rhinoplasty, and I couldn't be happier! Dr. Elyassnia's expertise in closed preservation rhinoplasty is truly amazing, and I'm already loving the results, even though I'm still swollen. I'm so happy I chose him as my surgeon. Dr. Elyassnia was thorough in answering all of my questions before surgery, which really helped ease my nerves. I was anxious about going under anesthesia, but the whole team at his office was so kind and professional, which put me at ease. Nancy at the front desk was wonderful throughout the process, even when I had to reschedule my surgery--she was so understanding and accommodating. I also met Nurse Helen at my pre-op appointment, and she was amazing! She answered all my questions and gave me her number to text if I had any concerns. On surgery day, Nurse Lisa was by my side, comforting me, I even asked her to hold my hand, she made me feel safe and well taken care of. I also want to mention the anesthesiologist, who was fantastic and made sure I felt in good hands every step of the way!. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Dr. Elyassnia and his team take care of me. If you're considering rhinoplasty, I highly recommend Dr. Elyassnia and his amazing team! read more

I had an extensive and fairly involved cosmetic surgery done with Dr.Dino in April of 2022. As a person who has a fair amount of experience with plastic surgery, I was impressed with his bedside manner, recommendations and follow up. I found him to be on the conservative side and interested in preserving my natural appearance. He did not recommended a bunch of things I didn't need, but he was open some of the additional things I was considering. My surgery was easy and relatively painless. I had minimal bruising and I have one tiny barely visible scar, which is next level. Within three weeks I was back at work. Everyone was impressed with the change, but no one could really pin point specifically what was different. He did an outstanding job and I am delighted with the results. To this day his office is quick to respond to me. I'm grateful for my great experience with Dr. Dino and I would not only go back, I would recommend him to my friends. read more

I am 73 and was reluctant to get cosmetic surgery wondering if the outcome would be worth the financial investment. I interviewed and reviewed several doctors throughout CA before meeting and connecting with Dr. Dino. I could not be happier with the procedure and the outcome. He tells the truth. I had a full facial yet I look just natural and refreshed. There are no visible scars, it did not hurt, and I love looking at myself everyday. I see such an obvious improvement yet most people I know have had to be told by me that I had a facelift. I just plain look like me; a great me; a happy me! His staff is patient and caring but he is an warm person and an artist. If you are over 60, 70 or 80...do it for yourself! It will increase your zest for living!! read more

Dr Dino did not prepare me at all for the horrendous end state of my rhinoplasty and facial fat transfer. Hes butchered my nose. I now have an uneven, jagged upturned nose and the facial fat transfer has changed my whole look. I did not actually want fat transfer to my face. I did not even know this concept existed. He insisted it would be a nice touch. FYI butt fat is heavier than facial fat. It will weigh down your face and puff you out like a hominid. Do not let him convince you you need this. His after care support is not interested. I am devastated and face more costs and surgical unknowns and down time to try fix a face that makes me cry to look back at in the mirror. I do NOT recommend Dr Dino. read more

As promised! I had my cast removed today and I am at a loss for words to describe how much I love my nose! Dr. Elyassnia + team are one of a kind. The care, compassion, and expert level of work he shows to his patients is incredible. I cannot think him and his incredible staff enough for the wonderful experience! My nose is incredibly swollen and will continue to improve every day. So beyond thankful! read more

I had my primary rhinoplasty with Dr. E in December 2017. I did months of research on Yelp, Google Search, and RealSelf to find the right doctor. I checked all over CA and concluded Dr. E would be the best for what I want. The consultation and surgery location is in the same place in the heart of SF. The staff is super kind and professional. Dr. E is nice, listens well, and sets real expectations. The main reason I chose Dr. E is because of his S.M.A.R.T. rhinoplasty technique. There was not any chiseling or bone breaking, NO SCARS, and minimal short and long term damage. After surgery, I felt really awake and barely any pain. I took Tylenol once or twice. Instead of pain, it felt more like pressure on my nose. Most of the swelling was gone after 3 weeks! At 3 weeks, I had a clear idea of what my nose would look like. My nose looked a lot better after the surgery but still was not exactly how I wanted it to be. I needed more of an improvement. I expressed my concerns to Dr. E and he was caring and supporting. In a situation where you feel so worried, it helps so much to have someone who is there for you and puts extra effort to make sure you are at ease. Dr. E genuinely cared for how I felt and wanted to do whatever he could to make sure I was happy with my results. We kept in contact over the next year. I gave updates along with pictures. In December 2018, we met again in person to discuss options. In February 2018, I had my second rhinoplasty. I had emphasized all the changes I want with plenty of examples. Once again, the OR staff and surgery process was a breeze. Dr. E sent me a picture of my new nose the next day, and I absolutely loved it!! This time hurt more but now at 3-4 weeks, there is absolutely no pain, almost no swelling, and it looks amazing! I got the exact result I wanted. I couldn't be happier with my results. Dr. E did an amazing job! You are definitely in good hands with him! read more

Charged a fortune for the least helpful consult ever. Proposes procedure you don't need that last for 6 hours just to charge as much as possible. I regret leaving one penny of my money at this Dr. office. He should close his practice, since I don't consider him a doctor but a fraud businessman. read more

Dec 24th 2021 Update: 2 surgeries later and I still have a bump. In my honest opinion, I wish I had gone to someone else. Dino was really nice and my nose looks better than my original, but I didn't pay thousands of dollars to not get what I had asked for :/ read more

Had my consultation for breast augmentation with Dr. Dino. When you go through plastic surgery, it is recommended to visit three different doctors or go through three different consultations. Dr. Dino was definitely his way or the highway. So if you want to lay out your options, it's not a possibility here. I'm giving him 3 stars because I didn't have a doubt he would do a good job but He didn't make me feel comfortable at all during my consultation. He had awful bed side manners. When we spoke about sizes and what it would look like depending on what I was wearing, he said "when you wear a skimpy bikini ..." his choice of words were interesting. He doesn't give you a suggested size until your next appointment, which at that point you would have to put down a deposit. Overall, I didn't go with Dr. Dino because of my consultation experience compared to others. I suggest going to a doctor that makes you feel comfortable, safe, and one you can trust. I'm sure others had different experiences than mine, but I thought I would share. read more

Dr. Elyassnia has a great eye and sense of beauty. He is an excellent doctor, a kind person and has pulled together a great team of people who try to make you feel at home and safe. I loved the work he did on my face, everybody tells me that I look great but nobody knows I went through a face lift. I worried about the down time, but after two weeks I was working. I never felt pain or discomfort. Expect to be swollen, but everyday a little better. I took pictures of myself everyday and could see how I was getting better. He is not arrogant like some plastic surgeons in the city that are not available for new clients or give you an appointment two months latter. He is busy but makes you feel like you are the only client, special and very important. I think he is great and I will recommend him always!!!! read more

I had started to notice my double chin around my late 20s. My physique had always been on the slim/fit side but in my late college years I became skinny fat. In my early 30s I started to get into fitness again and was really hoping that once I dropped my body fat, my double chin would also be gone. Unfortunately, the aging process isn't always kind. I was physically lean and in shape, but my neck looked otherwise. I did my research and discovered Dino Elyassnia. Dr. Dino Elyassnia recommended a short scar necklift; which meant that a small incision would be made under the chin, the deep neck fat would be extracted, my submandibular glands would be shortened, and the neck muscles would be tightened. Fast forward to now. My neck now matches my body! When I went in for my follow-up appointment, I was blown away by the difference, it was as if Dino Elyassnia turned back the clock and had given me my body I had in my 20s. What a gift! read more

I am 7 months post op. Wanted to wait a bit to give a review. Dr Dino and his staff were all amazing and so sweet! I have no problems with that. My recovery has been good for the most part, luckily no complications. As far as the results, I'm not completely in love. Yes my nose looks wayyyy better than before. But I'm just upset that there is still a bump and some unevenness in my nostrils. Will wait for the one year mark to see if this improves. He said he'd be able to do a small procedure to take down the bump but I'm scared to have to go through another period of swelling and healing. Just wish it was all good the first time around. Overall I rate him 5/5 my results around 3 1/2 out of 5. But this is just my experience. read more

This April, 2022, will officially be 1 year post op from my nose job. It is a life changer. He is the best in the world. His work speaks for his price rage! I wish I would have done this 10 years ago- but I'm glad I did it in my late 20's, because now I'll be able to enjoy my life! He definitely has a signature nose, because most of his patients have the same result, and I love that! Why would you risk not knowing what your nose will look like? When you can see what he does to everyone. If he wasn't married I'd propose, because he made me one happy women! Lol jk. Thanks again Dr.Dino!!! 10/10 recommended. read more

My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. E and his staff was very rewarding and smooth. As this was my first surgery ever, I was super nervous, but was well taken care of by the whole staff. I cannot explain with words how much I was put at ease by Dr. E and his staff. The whole operation and recovery was less frightening than I had imagined. The S.M.A.R.T. technique was much less invasive and made for an easy recovery. Of course there was discomfort, but I was surprised to only need to take Tylenol once. I had always been highly insecure about the largeness and roundness of my nose, but now I feel confident in leaving the house. I feel this operation has made my outside match my insides and am very thankful for Dr. Elyassnia. read more

I was very indecisive on writing this review since it's been 2 years now but, the more I look at my nose the more it bothers me. I paid so much and had to get two surgeries and still see a bump. The first checkup I had after surgery I came in we noticed the bump was still there and Dino said it would go away since it was just a few weeks and said it was probably still swollen. We decided to wait a year since Dino said it completely heals after a full year. A year passed and came in for a check up. He said we could do a another surgery with just anesthesia on the nose area to shave down the hump on my nose so I would be fully awake. I came in for the second surgery and he said he would only shave down one side. Not only do I still have a bump but I'm my nostrils are not even. He never posted after pictures when I came in for checkups because he probably didn't like the results of my nose. My nose does look better compared to how I had it but I didn't pay thousands to not get what I wanted and what we agreed to. read more

I initially was drawn to Dr. Elyassnia though his Instagram page, only to learn that my surgeon friends overseas are familiar with him, his work, and attended his trainings. I genuinely cannot say enough great things about him and his team, especially Tiffany. Tiffany was quick to get in touch with me, schedule everything, get me in touch with previous patients for reference, and ensure Covid precautions were in place to keep me safe and healthy. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and kindness went a long way and promised ease. As for Dr. Elyassnia, he not only has a gracious, honest, and gentle personality but he is probably THE most intelligent in the game. His patience with me went on for over 4 months, he replied and answered all emails/calls/FaceTimes, and didn't even flinch when I sent him a PowerPoint of pictures, concerns and questions. This alone for me was priceless! Dr. Elyassnia truly carries integrity in all he does and will walk side by side with you to personalize what's best for you. With that said, he is far from pushy, doesn't have a cookie cutter approach as most others in the field do, he keeps in mind your best interest and makes it clear he is available across all outlets to be there for you. Surgery, invasive or not, can be scary- so if you're looking for someone who is a leader in plastic surgery, adopts new techniques, genuinely cares for you, your happiness and health- look no further. I should also note, you're dealing with permanent changes to your body/face so don't look for convenience or try to seek the best price out there. This is not something you should try and bargain. I've done ample amount of research/consults to say with confidence, Dr. Elyassnia is the best. read more

When I looked at my face at age 59 I decided I wanted improvements made but I was worried about looking overdone. A good friend of mine had engaged Dr. Elyassnia and his work improved her look very much and in a very natural way. Recovery from this type of surgery is not easy, but it was worth the time investment for me. To get the natural look, Dr. E uses several advanced techniques, including fat transfer. The fat transfer causes swelling and it takes time for the swelling to go down. I was ready to be seen by friends within about 2 or 3 weeks, but not ready for a public unveiling until about four or five weeks. I am so happy with the results Dr. Elyassnia was able to achieve. My before and after picture show such a dramatic improvement, but I do not look like someone who has had facial surgery. I am beyond pleased. I feel like I can look great and still age gracefully. Thanks Dr. Elyassnia and also thanks Helen. read more

I am so thankful for Dr. Dino's work. I was referred to him by a friend, and after seeing her beautiful rhinoplasty results and listening to how highly she spoke of her experience, I decided to see him for a consultation. I'd been considering getting my nose looked at for some time because I've been self conscious about it since I was in a bad car accident a few years ago, and I was very intrigued by his SMART rhinoplasty technique. During my consultation, Dr. Dino and his staff instantly made me feel safe and comfortable, and assured me that they could help me get what I wanted with a minimally invasive procedure - all the while never making me feel like this was something I needed to do. After deciding to follow through with the procedure, the months preceding my operation entailed a couple follow-up visits, all of which reassured my decision to go with Dino and his team, as they were consistently extremely kind and professional. My nurse and anesthesiologist (who were also amazing, btw) called me the day before my surgery and went over everything I needed to know going in, which made me feel extra comfortable walking into the operation. The day of the surgery went so smoothly, and although I felt a lot of discomfort during the first few nights (as expected), I generally experienced little pain and was excited to see the results. It's been about 4 months since my surgery, and I can honestly say I really love my nose. The swelling is still going down in the mean-time, but I'm thrilled with the result and can not wait to see how it looks when it's all healed. My experience with Dr. Dino was genuinely wonderful, and I thank him and his team for their thoroughness and kindness throughout it all. Cosmetic surgery isn't just something one decides to do on a whim, and I really appreciate Dino's understanding of that in how he approaches his patients with their insecurities and desires. I highly, highly recommend him! Thank you, Dr. Dino! read more

Just wanted to update this review to add my before and 3 weeks post op. This is exactly what I wanted a very natural look for my face and more feminine look as well. read more

Dino Elyassnia, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Francisco, California

A few month ago I had a facelift, neck lift, and brow lift with some fat injections by Dr Elyassnia. I should start with saying that Dr E. is a great listener, honest, modest, confident, and an amazing artist like "Michelangelo". I didn't want to lose any of my facial expressions or my smile. Also because of my delicate skin, I was afraid of scars after surgery. I wanted to keep the look of my natural face but get rid of sagginess and all deep wrinkles especially around my upper lip. His honesty about the procedure and the healing process made me feel very comfortable with what I was willing to do. He was very confident about what he was planning to do, and he gained all my trust. Amazingly every single one of the staff at the Marten clinic are super efficient, friendly and caring. At the pre-op visit, the nurse walked me through all details and made sure that I received all information. They were very responsive to emails and phone calls and attentive to my concerns. After surgery I spent the night at their recovery area. The nurse sat next to me like an angel and took care of me the entire night. I felt so spoiled with the great care and attention I received pre and post surgery. Interestingly I did not have any bruises after surgery, recovery timeline was as what Dr E. predicted during the pre-op visit. There are no visible scars after the healing process. My neck looks so perfect, and I look very naturally rejuvenated. Any of my friends who have seen me are saying that I look so young and asking if I'm using any special cream ;) I am in my mid fifty's but my face looks like I'm in my mid thirties :) Thank you Dr Elyassnia! read more

Update: The doctor responded and will refund my consultation fee, which I am very happy about, so I am updating this review.

Laserfocus That is the first word that comes to my mind when I think of Dr. Dino. It's not something that can be learned - it's a disposition that you either have or don't. This is illustrated when one witnesses how he approaches seemingly cookie cutter procedures such as botox; first he actually listens to you and your preferences and previous results then - whereas most doctors may just treat it as an assembly-line procedure, fat-finger squeezing squirts to the major muscles in the region - Dr. Dino employs a striking multi-dimensional approach to this seemingly "simple" procedure, employing natural-look human-realistic artististry in conjunction with methodical nano-level geometrical and gravitational physics, taking into account the uniqueness of individual's brow musculiniture, injecting only after factoring-in the holistic facial effect of each micro-milliliter drop of botox. You will notice, after he has fully downloaded all the necessary information and before he injects, he will stand there in complete absorption while looking at you then over your file (that contains your facial grids, documented historical injection points and unique furrow dynamics) then, in a moment of full objective awareness, perfects your injection procedure gameplan then injects structurally thereby manifesting the best botoxical anti-aging result on your face that exists in the city of San Francisco and perhaps the state of California. If this is how he handles botox, I can only imagine the world-class results one can expect from a more complex procedure, say a facelift, requiring HOURS of real-time in-the-moment play-by-play adjustments that so perfectly suits his natural laserfocus gift, eliminating even the remotest possibility of ham-fisted or negligent sleepwalking plastic surgery results that I see so evident in the botched faces in the world around me. One thing to take into account is how honest he is going to be. He will not promise you impossible results. He will inform you of innate biases and common over/underestimations that our species takes towards plastic surgery and will let you know if you are making a mistake or are being unrealistic even when he stands to make a substantial sum of money - an uncompromising result of his innate moral character. In a nutshell, he is the perfect doctor for you if you are looking for a compassionate physician whose goal is to give you scrupulous natural-looking amazing results that have two feet on the ground of reality. read more

Before a year ago, I had no intentions of doing any surgery that had to do with my face; not only did I have no intentions, I was mortified at the idea of doing something as "unnatural " as cosmetic surgery ( I always wondered why they call it "plastic" surgery... ewww") I had always abhorred the idea... that is until I hit my fifties. My face started to really change and show signs of age. So I'd fantasize that I would get something done, though I never saw anyone who had had cosmetic surgery that I lusted after. I always thought they looked weird. Then last year I was with a friend of mine who seemed to never age. He admitted that he had been working with Dr Dino for this and that. Of course that piqued my interest and I checked out his website... Well, I was so impressed. Everybody looked so natural! I was really disliking my neck at this point, as I believed it was the key thing that made me look O L D! I made an appointment for a consultation with Dr Dino last March. He suggested that just doing the neck would not give me the results I was hoping for. I completely understood. He suggested a neck, face and brow lift plus fat grafting and laser resurfacing. From the moment I met him, I trusted him. That was key. I went on my merry way to think about doing the procedure. I went through a lot of feelings in regards to moving forward, but after much internal debate, I decided that life is short and I want to self express outside the way I feel on the inside. So I booked the surgery. Well, the minute I saw Dr Dino in the morning of my surgery, I felt the same way I did when I first met him. I TRUSTED HIM. His staff was delightful and I felt so well taken care of. There really wasn't a lot of pain, and I never ONCE thought "Oh my God! What have I done!" I knew I was going to be happy with the results when I was fully healed. Tomorrow marks 3 months since my surgery.. every day I look better and better. But more importantly, I feel and look like MYSELF! I can't say enough about the talent and kindness that exists in Dr Dino. He really loves what he does and it shows. Integrity, compassion, esthetic, artistry and kindness. He's really the SH*T Oh, and did I mention I came up from Los Angeles to see him?!?! Yeah, he's that good... Thank you Helen, Tiffany, Kelly, and Alison... you were all great!!!!! read more

I had a rhinoplasty procedure done by Dr. Elyassnia in July. The entire experience was amazing and I couldn't be happier with the results. My nose looks very natural and while the "bump" is gone and my nose is totally symmetrical no one can ever tell that I had surgery. The staff and facility are seriously top notch and I felt very well taken care of the day of the procedure. One of the reasons I chose Dr. Elyassnia is because the surgery is done on site and not in a hospital. Thank you!! read more

After consulting with my primary care doctor regarding a growing lump under my left eye due to a clogged blood vessel, I was referred to Dr. Elyassnia to have it removed. I rarely write reviews about anyone but I felt my amazing experience with him motivated me to inform the rest of the community that Dr. Elyassnia is one of the most competent specialists I have ever seen! Period. From start to finish, he was very patient, transparent, and genuinely caring before, during, and after the operation. His flawless execution makes it hard not to give him 5 stars! Without any hesitation, I will gladly refer him to my family and friends. As for post treatment, he continued with excellent service as he provided me with help tips to help heal my scar under my left eye. The end result was exactly what I was looking for! Again, I gladly rated Dr. Elyassnia 5-Stars for his brilliant work! read more

My husband had a procedure with Dr. E the week of Thanksgiving. A day after his procedure, he developed a rash possibly due to something that was used to clean the area ( he also has very sensitive skin). Dr. E called me and was texting me, even on Thanksgiving day to make sure he was doing well! Everything turned out well of course, but his professionalism is above and beyond! We couldn't be more happy with my husbands results. If you are looking for an honest, caring and skilled surgeon, he's the one! read more

I went to Dr. Elyassnia to help me with aging skin and baggy, droopy eyes. I was tired of looking tired. I met with 3 doctors and decided on him because he not only knows how to do the work but he has an artistic eye that makes a subtle but significant difference. I had a lower blepharoplasty, fat injections and laser work done and came out looking refreshed. And feeling refreshed. People I haven't seen in a while wonder if the difference is my new glasses or hairstyle but good friends I've known for about 15 years (ones I didn't tell on purpose so I could get their reaction because they have keen eyes) started asking how and why I was looking so good and what I did. I told them and instantly everyone started thinking about doing the same. It's not a facelift and didn't have the recovery needed for a facelift yet the results were great. He spent time with me. He was never in a hurry, he answered all my questions and told me the truth openly and without circling around anything. He is someone you can fully trust. And now, after the work is done, I can walk down the street feeling energetic and not like I'm the tired lady walking around. I can meet old friends that I haven't seen in double digit years and not be embarrassed and at work (in a tech company) I don't feel like I look haggard and too tired to do the work. Some people age gracefully, and I just wasn't one of them and not matter how healthy I ate and how much I exercised, my face just wasn't going to reflect that. Dr Elyassnia gave me what I couldn't do for myself. If you want to look better and feel better and not worry about coming out of the process looking like someone else and not coming out with a bad experience, go with Dr. Elyassnia. He will give you exactly what you are looking for (because he really listens to you) and treat you like a person and guide you through the process. He is the only one I would trust with my face and I can't recommend him highly enough. He should get more than 5 stars. read more

You have come to the right place if you've found this perfect jewel of a doctor!!! Dr. Dino Elyassnia is quite simply, phenomenal. I am 53 years old, a Mom of 3 boys, and I was nervous about getting any 'work' done on my face. However, I was beginning to resemble Queen Victoria's 'later years' and my chin is what brought me in. When I arrived at Dr. Elyassnia's office, I was greeted by a kind and friendly, professional staff. The offices are beautiful, marble, modern, and well appointed. My appointments have all been on time, which is so unusual for a doctor's office these days. After deciding on a full facelift, with some fat grafting, and laser resurfacing; I took good care of myself, and followed all of the pre-surgery instructions up until my surgery date. I was very nervous before my arrival. The anesthesiologist, Dr. King is excellent (truly amazing), and I was able to take something to calm my nerves. My surgery itself was a breeze, as I don't remember any of it. I woke up in the recovery over-night suite, with a wonderful, kind, caring, private nurse, in what resembles a mini Four Seasons Hotel Suite. The following morning, I returned home, and began recovering. I spent two weeks watching Netflix, and stayed home. Week three, I was able to move about, even went to the grocery store in dark glasses. I am now, 9 months post-recovery and I feel fantastic. My scars are nearly invisible, and I look 15-20 years younger. The subtle changes are not recognizable to anyone, but I look refreshed and am very happy with the results. I'm not tired of hearing "you look fantastic". Huge thank you to Dr. Elyassnia, Dr. King, and the wonderful team! read more

Together Dr. Elyassnia and the staff at 450 Sutter will make your visit an exceptional one. From the consultation phase, to surgery, and follow up - you're in good hands! Dr. E does a thorough job presenting all options and possible outcomes of surgery, equipping you w/the necessary tools to make the right decision for you. The level of professionalism is phenomenal, not to mention the staff present day of surgery do a wonderful job easing nerves and making you feel comfortable. I am thrilled with the results of my BA, and less than 2 months out of surgery I'm back to my normal everyday life happy as can be :) Highly recommend meeting with Dr. E if you're considering plastic surgery - he's a great individual and an excellent surgeon! read more

Dr. Elyassnia is an amazing doctor! I decided to finally do a breast augmentation after years, and many years of procrastination. I'm beyond happy I finally came around to it, and have chosen the right doctor to perform the procedure. After weeks of researching multiple doctors and having consultations, I just didn't feel comfortable with any of them. Dr E was recommended to me. After reading his reviews on multiple sites and looking at his work on the website, I decided to have a consult with him and I'm glad I did! Aside from having good bedside manners which is extremely important to me, I can tell he really wanted to ensure I would be happy and comfortable with my decision. The office itself is very inviting and his staff are welcoming. No one is pushy, and they don't continuously contact you to follow up on your decision or sell other services. They waited for me to call back, which I appreciated. I've encountered the patient coordinator, Tiffany on multiple occasions during my appointments and not only was she informative and professional, she is genuine and sweet, always making sure I was comfortable during my visits. I love my results! What was important to me was that it feels and looks natural, and Dr E succeeded on that! I've had many follow up appointments after surgery and that really shows a lot about this office. They really care for their patients throughout the entire process. It's almost a year after surgery and I have no regrets. I absolutely recommend Dr Elyassnia and I promise you won't have any regrets either! read more

Dr. Dino Elyassnia is a very talented, artistic, compassionate, no-ego plastic surgeon, who does amazing work!! Long story short, after meeting with Dr. Elyassnia (several times) and doing extensive due diligence, I scheduled a facelift, necklift, brow lift and fat injections with him. He is supported by a crack team of warm, caring professionals, and the whole experience - from operation through recovery - was flawless. I could not have asked for more. Four months later, I am extremely happy with the results of the facelift, necklift and browliftf!!! Very natural looking (no pulled look), and totally, totally worth it!! If you are thinking about having a facelift, I would highly recommend Dr. Dino Elyassnia. read more

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!! Dr. Elyassnia is a surgeon among the elite in the field of plastic surgery. After consulting with several surgeons for my Mother's procedure, we opted to proceed with Dr. Elyassnia based on his qualifications as a highly-skilled surgeon, honesty, and consideration. Dr. Elyassnia has an extremely strong medical background, and expresses a level of knowledge that allowed us to feel at-ease and bestow our trust in his abilities (a difficult standard to achieve, as we are a family deeply rooted in the medical field). Dr. Elyassnia's demeanor and bedside manner is very kind and patient; he genuinely cares about his patients and you can sense it, specifically, in regards to their health and delivering what is discussed pre-op. He clearly expresses what is feasible and to be anticipated in the results. Most importantly, the surgery results surpassed all expectations! The surgery was performed with beautiful symmetry, a very thin and hidden scar, and she experienced a speedy recovery. My Mom loves her new figure and wishes she did it 20 years ago. As a bonus, their facility and staff are equally wonderful. The reception is warm and pleasant. Our post-op nurse was very qualified and loving (seriously, she was amazing!). The facility itself is equipped with top of the line equipment and care options (e.g. a private in house care unit with a personal nurse). Aesthetically, it's also gorgeous: city skyline views, marble floors, stunning artwork. We refer all of our friends and family to Dr. Elyassnia, and will be returning for any additional cosmetic procedures in the future. read more

Wow, where do I even begin! From the first time I even called Dr. Elyassnia's office up until now, I have had nothing but the best experience with their office. After researching many plastic surgeons, I went in for a consultation with Dr. Elyassnia to discuss a procedure I had been considering for years. I was nervous and anxious, this was the first time I felt ready to proceed with having surgery and had never met with a doctor before. Our meeting was far beyond an A+ in my eyes. Not only is he a great listener and is far from judgmental, he also was very confident and knowledgeable, and explained every angle of the procedure I was to expect, from pre-surgery to post, years in the future, any risks, EVERYTHING. I had concerns of risks involved with surgery, and he went into much detail regarding complications and all risks that I was going to face (which thankfully I never encountered). Our initial consultation lasted two hours and he left no question unanswered. His staff was also very warm and helpful (especially Brittni!) and I felt great leaving the office. I quickly scheduled a second consultation to proceed. I ended up having surgery about 2 months after my first meeting with Dr. Elyassnia, and that experience was also far beyond stellar! I have had surgery twice before in city hospitals and know how that works....you arrive starving, sit around with an IV for hours, and finally get wheeled off to surgery. At the Marten Clinic of Plastic Surgery it's all about YOU! Never have I experienced such "customer service" (if you can call it that when talking about surgery?). I arrived at their facility at 11AM, and was IV'ed and ready on the operating table by 12:30! Before I knew it I was out cold, and woke up in the recovery room with my partner, ready to go home. Since my procedure, I have seen Dr. Elyassnia once for a follow-up appointment, and have another appointment coming up in the next few weeks. I look forward to seeing the doctor! He is warm, caring, and genuinely excited about how you feel and your questions/concerns. I have to say, I've already recommended Dr. Elyassnia to friends interested in plastic surgery, and will continue to do so in the future. I feel that he is one of the most down-to-earth and honest doctor's I have ever met, and goes above and beyond to make sure you know exactly what you're in for, from pre-surgery to years afterwards. Everything he told me before surgery ended up being spot-on and there was nothing that "surprised" me. I know everyone's body is different, and plastic surgery is never "perfect" but I am beyond happy with my results! Dr. Elyassnia NAILED IT! I honestly couldn't be happier!!! That being said, I have nothing but the best recommendation for Dr. Elyassnia, Brittni, the rest of his staff, and the Marten Clinic of Plastic Surgery. THANK YOU! read more

I have had Liposuction on my legs and Facial Fat Grafting done 5 months ago with Dr. Elyassnia. I can not be any happier with the result. I have been looking for a plastic surgeon for lipo for almost two years and I have had quite a few consults with several surgeons in San Francisco. During the consult he mentioned how I can benefit from fat grafting. I am 40 years old and I have started seeing some aging in my face, which I have been trying to manage with injecting fillers. He spent a very long time on the consult appointment and made sure that it is all clear for me. The team were extremely supportive and thorough and they walked me through every single step. Britni, Kelly, Helen and Dr. Wong, the anesthesiologist have been very helpful. The procedure went very smoothly. The recovery was very easy. I just took one pain-killer. The post-op appointments were great and I LOVE my new face and body. I am very glad that I did the fat grafting, which was not my main concern initially. Now I look 10-15 years younger and happier without any trace of any procedures. It looks VERY natural and it was all pain-free. I get so many complements that makes me feel like changing my career to modeling.;) I don't have to be worried about looking tired or the recovery time from fillers. I have never had any plastic surgeries done before and I was scared of many things, like pain, result and ....The whole experience was so amazing that left me with just one regret....I wish if I had done it earlier. If you are looking for a surgeon who listens to your needs and who is very competent and a very strong team to support you, you should consider Dr. Elyassnia and Marten Clinic. read more

I am a 46 year old man who eats well, exercises daily, dresses decent and enjoys moving with the city. All that being said, there was one area that would not cooperate, my neck area from side to side & from chin to my lower neck. It was always difficult to see any positive advances made in other areas when my neck was the first thing I would notice. After checking with a few other surgeons, I googled top-rated SF cosmetic surgeons & found Dr. Elyassnia. The best google search I've ever done! I'm a very anxious person but from the minute I walked through their door and was greeted by Kelly, I was at ease. The staff was brillant and the office was professional & stylish with zero attitude. Meeting Dr. Elyassnia was the next step and the experience only got better. Before even shaking hands he already seemed hard at work studying my features. After chatting a bit about why I was there, his suggestions were more natural and less invasive than expected. His goal was to make me look fresh and healthy without making me look like someone other than me. My experience both pre & post-op was excellent. From walking into the surgery facility to checking out of recovery, the surgical staff did everything to keep me comfortable and at ease. By the way, one of the coolest looking facilities in town. As far as the surgery goes, instructions were always clear before and after. I can honestly say the most difficult part of my recovery was 3 to 4 days of inconvenience in my mobility and not being able to sleep with my pillow. I am in no way a vain person who is trying to look 25 again and feel Dr. Elyassnia helped me pull all the parts and pieces together. Thank you Dr. Elyassnia, Kelly, Britni, Cameron, Breezy, Helen and all others who I was too drugged up to remember. William L (posted for Anthony L) read more

Dr Dino is the consummate professional, his bedside manner is the best I have ever encountered. I was a bit hesitant when I was informed there was a consultation fee but it was worth every penny. He did not rush the consultation and provided extensive detail about my procedure. After meeting him and his team I did not bother searching for any other doctor, I knew he would provide the highest quality surgery and results for me. I am very happy with my results, he exceeded my expectations! read more

I explored and researched neck and facial rejuvenation procedures over a period of two years. In those two years, I had consultations with 7 top San Francisco plastic surgeons. I wanted a surgeon who's expertise and passion was the face and neck and their approach had to be with the intention of "natural" results. At the end of my research, it was clear that Dr. Dino was the right surgeon for my neck/face lift including fat graft. I am three months post-op and I can say that I have zero regrets, and I am 110% pleased with the results. My results are exactly what I had hoped for; I look like me, but radiant (and less tired!). I don't look "done". The research and decision process for me was long and stressful at times, but Dr. Dino and his professional, reliable and patient staff were all amazing. I would recommend Dr. Dino to anyone who wants high-quality surgical results and an equally excellent & supportive experience. Nothing is more important than our face in the world of aesthetics and you are in superb hands with Dr. Dino. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Dino Elyassnia! Dr. Dino and his entire staff are extremely kind and help contribute to making it a very comfortable experience. I got a rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and I am already extremely pleased with my results. My nose looks amazing so far and goes really nice with my face. I am now very confident about my nose, especially with the way my side profile looks. The recovery was not bad at all and I didn't even bruise. I am very pleased with how Dr. Dino fixed my breathing because I had a blockage on one side of my nose prior to surgery. I can now breathe way better than before. My results so far are everything I envisioned. Overall, Dr. Dino is such a genuine and humble surgeon. read more

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I wanted to write a review for Dr. Dino since there are not many reviews for male liposuctions. I am in my late thirties and my problem area were my flanks and abdomen. I researched and interviewed several doctors, Dr. Dino made me feel at ease and was honest about the procedure and results (many were promising a Daniel Craig body in a short period of time). His staff is amazing, when you go to his clinic, they get to know you and like him, make it an easy and smooth process. I had my surgery in late August and I was lucky to say that even though I had a slim body type and not a great deal to be removed, I saw the changes immediately. Now months later, I am seeing even more results and I am extremely happy... he sculpted my body and it looks completely natural. He checked in with me several times after the procedure... the first few days, it was a bit painful (you need your core to get up!), but it went away fairly fast... only took 2 pain killers. I really recommend DR. Dino and if I ever need another lipo, I am going back to him. Thanks again for making me like my body again and for making it an easy process. Joan read more
