Sophia K.

I chose Dr Monica Kieu for rhinoplasty after months of research on the procedure and different surgeons. I am so elated with my nose, Dr Kieu does amazing work and really takes into consideration of the patients face and making sure the nose is proportionate to other features. She doesn't do cookie cutter noses that are copy and paste, my nose still feels like me but just 1000x better. Not to mention she has the best bedside manner, and is just an overall kind woman who is an expert in her field. So happy I chose her for my surgery, and can't thank her enough for the boost in my confidence :)

I noticed that even though my implants were behind the muscle wall, they were beginning to droop on one side where I could actually pinch skin to skin.. I made an appointment with Dr. Dubrow's office.. Within a few weeks, I was able to get an appointment and go in to have my implants removed. Currently with the implants I was a G. Due to having an lumpectomy, I was under the impression that I did not have much of my own breast tissue left and this is why the doctor recommended implants to begin with. But at this point I had had my implants replaced multiple times and continued to have trouble. When I spoke to Dr. Dubrow and his amazing assistant Jackie and explained the trouble that I was having and that I wanted the implants removed. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to attend the consultation due to how fast I was able to get my consultation so we did it over FaceTime. My husband was still hoping for a larger outcome. My expectations were anything healthy. Even if that included a size A cup. After surgery, Jackie had shared my postop surgery report with me. As I expected the chemo and radiation had damaged the tissue in my right breast to the point he had to remove a lot of tissue in order to lift my breasts evenly. Coming out of surgery with the scarring and the stitches , the swelling and everything. I definitely was completely flat chested. But as the days went on, my breast started forming and dropping just as they said they would. I am currently five months postop into my surprise. I am a 34D. Needless to say my husband is extremely happy and so am I. This has been such a wonderful experience and it is all due to a doctor's office. That truly knows what they're doing. Thank you, Dr. Dubrand Jackie for everything

My goal was to look refreshed and natural--not like I'd had surgery--and that's exactly what Dr. Lee achieved. Friends and family tell me I look amazing, but no one can pinpoint why. I simply look like a younger, well-rested version of myself. I was amazed by how little bruising I had after surgery. Within two weeks, I looked great and felt comfortable being out in public. At 10 weeks, my scars are essentially invisible, and my results continue to improve. Dr. Lee is an exceptionally talented surgeon who is confident, caring, and meticulous. From my first consultation through every follow-up appointment, he and his staff made me feel informed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Their professionalism and kindness made the entire experience stress-free. If you're considering facial rejuvenation and want beautiful, natural-looking results, I highly recommend Dr. Lee.

Dr. Sajjadian not only fixed the structural breathing problems that plagued me for over a decade, but made my nose look exactly how I described I wanted it to. I'm very happy to now have a healthy, functional and aesthetically beautiful nose. During this procedure, he was also able to perform a few other aesthetic procedures for my lower face and neck, and all in all, the before/after transformation is truly remarkable. I'm still healing post surgery, but I will be sure to update my review with before/after pics after the swelling has fully subsided. I highly recommend Dr. Sajjadian if you want the best results and a pleasant pre/post-op experience. Something that really separates Dr. Sajjadian from the rest is that he personally oversaw my immediate post-surgery care and needs to ensure I was doing well both physically and emotionally, and offered support to my wife (caretaking me) so she had everything she needed to ensure I got back on my feet as soon as possible. It took me almost two years to finally decide to do this procedure, and I'm so glad I picked Dr. Sajjadian. I only wish I would have known so I could have had this done a lot sooner!

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

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

It truly gave me my confidence back. Fast forward to 2026, I realized I didn't just want to feel good on the outside anymore. I wanted to feel good on the inside too. As I got older, I found myself constantly exhausted, struggling with brain fog, low libido, no motivation, and just feeling hopeless. As a business owner and a mom of two busy boys with sports and endless activities, I felt like I was running on empty every single day. I reached out to Dr. Sherry, and she truly listened. She took the time to understand what I was experiencing and created a personalized plan just for me. She started me on supplements that were tailored to my specific needs, along with NAD+ injections. I began everything immediately, and within just a few days I noticed an incredible difference. I started this journey in February 2026, and now, in August, I can honestly say I feel like a completely different person. I wake up every morning with natural energy, a clear mind, and the motivation to tackle my day. My focus has improved tremendously, my brain fog is gone, and I no longer rely on multiple sources of caffeine just to make it through the day. My libido has also significantly improved, which has been life changing. More recently, I started Reta under Dr. Sherry's guidance to help me reach my personal weight goals. I felt great on it from the beginning. The only side effect I experienced was feeling a little tired the first day, but after that I was back to normal and have continued feeling my best. The key is staying consistent with the supplements every day. Dr. Sherry emphasizes how important it is to "stack" them and trust the process, and she is absolutely right. What I appreciate most about Dr. Sherry is how passionate she is about women's health. She is constantly educating and encouraging women through her social media, reminding us that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish. It's necessary. So many women don't realize how much our bodies change as we age or how much better we can actually feel with the right support. I am 35 years old, and I honestly feel better now than I did in my 20s. I've had the privilege of working with both Dr. Sherry and Dr. Sean Kalashadi, and I can genuinely say they make you feel like family instead of just another patient. They truly care about every person who walks through their doors, and that level of compassion is hard to find. Thank you both for helping me become the healthiest, happiest version of myself. I highly recommend SSK! -Brittney S.

Typically, you're advised to meet with multiple surgeons before making a decision since surgery is a serious commitment, but Dr. K was actually the first and only consultation I did. I immediately felt comfortable with him and his staff right off the bat. Everyone was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. Dr. Kelishadi took the time to thoroughly evaluate my anatomy and recommended the Preservé technique with Motiva implants. He explained that I had natural asymmetry and suggested two different implant profiles (demi and full) with a 65cc difference to create better balance. I truly appreciated his honest, thoughtful approach and I am so glad I trusted his expertise because I am very happy with my results. One of my biggest hesitations about breast augmentation was fear of going under general anesthesia. The Preservé technique itself is incredible because it uses IV sedation and local anesthesia instead, and the downtime was only a few days. Knowing that Dr. Kelishadi is one of the first plastic surgeons in the United States able to offer this advanced technique made me feel even more confident in my decision. His wife, Dr. Sherry, who is the pharmacist, was also wonderful. Their non-narcotic pain protocol was amazing. Avoiding nausea and grogginess was very important to me, and they completely delivered on that promise. The practice is extremely organized and thoughtful -- they even provided all medications in advance along with a duffle bag, scar gel, a recovery journal, and a cute pink velour outfit set for surgery day. These details made the experience feel very supported and personalized. Valerie at the front office is incredibly helpful and responsive, Kendal the nurse is kind and reassuring, and Brianna the surgical assistant made me feel calm and cared for throughout the process. Even at my 1-month follow-up appointment, Dr. Kelishadi and the team treated me with the same level of hospitality and respect as day one. You can truly tell they care deeply about their craft and about their patients' outcomes. Overall, this has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you are considering breast augmentation, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Kelishadi. He is truly an artist, and he has an exceptional team behind him who make the entire journey feel safe, thoughtful, and seamless. I am so grateful I trusted them with such an important decision and would confidently recommend their practice to anyone looking for natural, beautiful results and a genuinely caring surgical experience.

He even handled my court case and made $15,000 off of that which we lost the case and we are in debt from all of my nose surgeries. I had emailed him about an estimate for my nose, it was around $30,000. I had my consultation once again after the waited time period, we talked about fixing the holes (dents in my nose from missing cartilage), and fixing the irregularities. I booked the non refundable deposit of $1,000 after meeting with him and scheduled the surgery thinking the quote would similar to what he quoted me on email. The receptionist (I can't say names on yelp), sent me a quote of $187,050. I was floored. I lost the deposit money and we can't afford almost $200,000 for a nose job. I am filled with so many questions of why? Where did we get so lost? My emails are ignored now. I lost the money to the lawyer to the last surgeon who botched me, we're in debt from 4 surgeries that botched me, and I put all my eggs in one basket as to the hope for him to fix me for good. We can't even get a loan for $200,000. I'm really down and absolutely shocked that he said he would help me, but surprised me with a price tag that's insurmountable for what we can afford. It's saddening. My hope is gone for surgeons. They're greedy and money hungry. I hope this review gets him to read what emotional toll this has taken on me, and to think before you charge a patient $200,000 to fix irregularities on their nose. I'm no millionaire or billionaire, I'm a mom raising a toddler who has had a really hard time looking in the mirror. I wish he would have kept his word. Only God will judge us at the end as to how we treated those in need of help but couldn't afford a quarter million dollars to get it.

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

If my words can prevent even one woman from the mental anguish this has brought me then it would be a disservice to remain silent. I had an augmentation with Dr. Bandy a couple years ago and just recently explanted with a different surgeon. I initially chose her because she was the only female surgeon in my area (I did not want a male surgeon) who would give me silicone implants before the required legal age of 22. It was so important to me to look natural and proportionate. I brought in reference photos, and was adamant on 400ccs, yet somehow was convinced to get 700ccs. Nearly double what I wanted. Mind you, I am only 5'3 and 115lbs. I was very unaware that the bra used to try on sizes would make the implants appear smaller, which led to naïvely trusting in the consultant to go bigger. I was then told I needed to size up even further because they would be under the muscle. I was not accurately informed of how the outcome would look and how awful the recovery process would be. There was an all around lack of professionalism, we even had to pay the anesthesiologist under the table. I regretted it immediately and have hated my body for the last two years. I reached out shortly after expressing my regrets and dissatisfaction with the size, but was told I just had temporary buyers remorse and would be fine. I opted not to inform them of my continued dissatisfaction in order to be left alone. I was not fine. I have felt absolutely mutilated and disgusted by my outcome and have been grieving the loss of my natural body ever since. There aren't even words to express the mental anguish that this has brought me. She had to use spacers in order to fit the giant implants into my small frame, which caused significant trauma to my body. Again, the severity of the entire procedure was glossed over and I was reassured by Dr. Bandy and her consultant. But just before the procedure, she said something along the lines of "I don't know if I can fit these in you, but I'll try". I felt the most excruciating pain of my entire life for weeks. One implant bottomed out in less than a year and I had severe animation deformity in both breasts. I also had significant lateral displacement and rippling. I couldn't stand the sight of my body naked or clothed. I felt hideous. I looked extremely disproportionate and suffered all kinds of pain from the 3lb implants. I began to develop breast implant illness within just months of the procedure, which persisted and worsened over time. The only praise I can give is that my scarring was barely detectable. I also had a nipple (not areola) reduction, which she did a good job on. I was finally able to afford an explant with another doctor recently. This surgeon was extremely professional and informative, walking me through every available option and assessing me thoroughly to ensure the best outcome. I decided to only have an explant and muscle repair because I did not want lift scars. She made sure that I was aware of the mental and physical recovery to come, and that I had a support system in place. Her and her team were incredibly caring and empathetic for what happened to me at this practice. By the grace of God, my skin has retracted and my breasts are very similar to what they were before the augmentation. I now bear the explant scars as a reminder that I never needed to permanently alter my beautiful body, especially not in such a brutal and traumatic way as this. If you are wanting a cosmetic procedure, especially a breast augmentation, please research deeply and consult with multiple surgeons. A good surgeon should tell you when something is going to be too traumatic for your body. They will suggest what is proportionate to you and will inform you on everything you need to know. A good surgeon will not upsell you and mutilate you for the sake of money. They will care about your well being and satisfaction. Please, please be diligent in research.
