    This is me post op i had them different sizes one had 330 cc the other 460cc . I got over the muscle saline i love them they look so natural. The only complaint i have is that when i got the IV they hit a nerve so when i move my hand a certain way or press the area that got poked i get a shock on 3 of my fingers, its really annoying since i have to be careful (i never got an answer for that just a its fine) Other than that i love them. I suggest you have your consultantion in the del mar office i went to both and prefer del mar, they make you feel great! They support the choice you make and reassure you. Coronado made me second guess myself since the lady kept asking me if i was sure thats what i wanted and to let them know if i change my mind. I did have a 5 star and the reason why i changed it to 4 is because i went in on a monday to have some stitches pulled out since they were coming out and they said it was fixed.But i had to pull some more out on wednesday because i still saw some poking out. There was also a remark that was said, the doctor touched my stomach and said all you need is lipo and your good. I understand you wanna promoto but that is not the way to me its rude, i did laugh it off cuz i didnt know what to say. Also i was given the ok to put maderma on my scars, i decided to ask again to be 200% sure, they said not to put it on my opening where the stitch was poking out because it can make it worse. I wish i was told that earlier because ive been putting it on. Ill be taking care of the scar and hopefully this didn't affect it...ill update in a few months

    My sister got married 2 years ago(she's 100 pounds of tiny), and I remember thinking I'll never look the way she did in a wedding dress. I hated my thighs after years of trying to fix the issue myself. That was when I decided it's time to consider liposuction, so when I get married- I'll love how I look in my wedding dress. It's been 2 years since my surgery(can't believe it)- Dr Kouli & Kim I'm so sorry I took this long to leave a review!! I initially met with Kim- she's absolutely wonderful!!! I have never experienced customer service like theirs, every question was promptly answered, any changes requested were made without complaints, every concern was immediately reassured. Dr. Kouli sees every body differently- as if his work was custom made specifically for me. I did 12 areas of lipo and fat transfer to the boobies! COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!! Pursuing plastic surgery with doctor Kouli was the best decision I have EVER made. My weight has fluctuated since the surgery (due to thyroid issues) which changed things a little, but through that- Dr. Kouli created a foundation that changed the way my body looks when gaining or losing weight. My body isn't perfect and I don't think it will ever be, but with Dr. Koulis help, I now LOVE my body!!! Its a life changing experience that I would recommend to anyone who's considering it. It wasn't a painless experience, recovery was definitely tough. I was able to text Dr. Kouli at any time of the day and his responses were always prompt and helpful- which made me feel like I have a support system rooting for me and my recovery. Thank you for caring- you're all truly amazing!!! My wedding was last weekend, and I just received some of my teasers. As I looked at the photos I immediately thought of Dr. Kouli and my experience with them, thank you so much for helping me love my body. Thank you for making not only my wedding dress dream come true, but my every day dream of loving what I see when I look at myself. I love you all!!!

    I have wanted a breast augmentation for years. I am a 40 year old, female with a natural 32 c cup, no children, that desired a more fuller breast. I went to 4 other physicians for consultations then found Dr. Kouli. He went above and beyond with me explaining what was realistic for my procedure and my desired look. He went over a technique I had never even heard of from my other consults to give me a fuller breast. The procedure itself went smoothly and my recovery was easier than I expected. The staff is kind and engaging. The facility is beautiful and clean. Most importantly I couldn't be HAPPIER with my end results. My breast are full and absolutely perfect. I wish I would've done this years ago and with Dr. Kouli. If I desire any other procedure in the future this is where I will go. In addition I will recommend all my friends and family to Esthetica with Dr. Wael Kouli.

    Let's start off by saying this office is Front desk receptionist is so sweet. From the first appointment until my post op appointment, I've had nothing but a 5/5 star experience. The staff is so caring and loving. I felt so safe in their hands. Dr. Kouli performed rhinoplasty on me on Oct 25,2018. When I came in to get more information on the surgeries he performs, he was so confident that he could the problems I was feeling I had with my nose. His confidence made me feel like I was in the right hands. He was seeing what I meant when I was pointing out what features were bothering me. Dr. Kouli reassured me that he could take care of the tip of my nose, that's what was bothering me the most. He suggested I also just shave a little of the bone off to make it a little slimmer. I'm SOOOOOOOOO happy I listened and did that as well. It was included in the price, I was just being a chicken about it. After my surgery I was swollen for about 2 weeks, then I started seeing my new nose shape come through. Now it is Jan 28,2019 and my nose is what I was dreamed of! I had been coming in for post op appointments and everything is healing more and more beautifully every time. My nose is so perfect to me now. It looks like the nose I was supposed to have for my face shape. The surgery was so smooth. My recovery went amazing. No pain at all but you know just the usual discomfort because I couldn't breathe out of my nostrils for about 2 weeks. I recommend Dr. Kouli 100%. He has all my trust and if I ever need anything else in the future he will for sure always be my go to doctor. My brothers girlfriend had recommended him to me. She got a BBL. She looks amazing!!!! After my surgery I recommended my friend to him and she got her surgery done last week. The point is your in safe hands and you will be so happy with your results! Thank you Dr. Kouli for everything and thank you to the amazing staff as well!

    Dr.Kouli and his staff are incredible. First and foremost, the efficiency of their business amazed me. Since I live in the hillcrest area I called plastic surgeons around here, I could not get a consultation for months! I called Esthetica Coronado, and got a consultation appointment for the following week! During the consultation, Kim really stood out to me. I love her personality and how welcoming she is. All the nurses admin and anesthesiologist were also really friendly and professional. I went in for rhinoplasty. I've wanted this surgery since I was a teenager, so I really wanted to get it done ASAP with an amazing surgeon. Dr.Kouli knew exactly what I wanted. I was able to schedule the appointment about 2.5 weeks after my initial consultation. Dr.Kouli went above and beyond. He created the perfect in between feminine ski slope shape, while keeping my nose proportionate to my other features. I can smile without my nose tip drooping down. He fixed the bulbous tip as well as the shape and projection. The day of surgery went by swiftly and the healing was a speedy process. The price was extremely fair (8700) for the quality of service and hospitality. Very amazing service compared to the competition. Some people I know decide to go to turkey or Tijuana to save some money, but being a phone call or 10 minute drive from the clinic is priceless. I know dr.Kouli and his staff have my back. Would recommend to anyone who's looking for that perfect rhinoplasty! After picture taken ~1 month post op.

Booked my appointment right after the consultation because I felt like they were realistic and honest with me about the results I could expect given my anatomy. I am only 6 weeks post op from my arm lipo + skin tightening, but I wanted to share my experience so far because it's been great. The entire staff has been super friendly and welcoming. The procedure itself went smoothly. I did it under local and was nervous, but it was seriously not bad at all. While I'm still dealing with some minor swelling since it takes 3 months to fully see results (which they prepared me for), I can already see the shape taking form hehehe. I have been wearing my compression garments religiously and getting the drainage massages twice per week. Recovery has been manageable, and anytime I've had a question, the staff has been quick to respond. Even though I'm not fully healed, I already feel confident saying I'd recommend. I'm super excited for my final results. I've actually already recommended this place to my mom who also hates her arms too lol. If you're already considering this place, just do it!

    I underwent a combination of a facelift, fat grafting, a lip lift, and upper/lower blepharoplasty…read morewith Dr. Karam in September 2023. Unfortunately, I am deeply unhappy with the results and the total lack of accountability regarding my concerns. My cheeks are noticeably uneven; one side remains significantly larger than the other. Now that over two years have passed since my procedure, I have developed deep irregularities (uneven and lumpy texture) across my cheeks and under my eyes. Instead of a smooth transition, the texture is uneven and looks unnatural. The lip lift left a very prominent and obvious scar underneath my nose. It is not the hidden or discreet result I was led to believe. Despite the facelift, I have an excessive amount of wrinkles around my neck, chin, and mouth area. As time goes on, the hollows and unevenness are becoming more pronounced rather than settling. The cost of these procedures was incredibly high. I feel that the premium prices patients pay are for his massive marketing and social media production, not for superior surgical skill. For the amount of money spent, one expects precision and personalized care, neither of which I received. When I met with Dr. Karam via Zoom four months post-op to express my dissatisfaction, he was dismissive. He refused to guarantee any revision work to correct these clear issues. It is now clear that this is a mass production practice where the focus is on bringing in new clients through polished social media photos rather than ensuring the long-term quality of the work. I deeply regret my decision. I am now forced to seek out another surgeon to perform an expensive revision to fix the damage. Please do your research beyond social media before choosing this clinic.

    It has been over six months since my facelift, and I have not noticed any changes. I have called…read morethe doctor several times and informed the staff that I have not seen any improvements. The doctor advised me to wait a few more months, but I find this response unhelpful. I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. The procedure was a complete waste of money, and the price charged was six times higher than that of other doctors in the same field. I deeply regret going to this doctor and would not recommend anyone spend such a significant amount for results that fail to meet expectations. I will not recommend!

I scheduled a consultation based on the transparent pricing on their website, and my conversation with Dr. Tergari put me fully at ease. The sedation was plenty for me to feel comfortable during the operation, and the team was engaging and professional throughout the process. Post-op guidance and follow-up was thorough, and I never felt like Dr. Tergari was trying to sell me on additional procedures. This was my first aesthetic procedure in San Diego, and I'd absolutely go back to Avalon for anything else I choose to do in the future!

    I went to Avalon lipo a year ago when I was 21, feeling very insecure about my thighs. I've always…read morehad muscular thighs from years of sports, and there wasn't much fat, but Dr. Tigari assured me it would be easy to do inner thigh liposuction. He was confident it would help, and I trusted his reputation and the glowing reviews. The cost was $5,000, and he encouraged me to use Care Credit, saying there would be no interest. I decided to go for it, believing it would improve my confidence. On the day of surgery, I was told I'd be unconscious and wouldn't feel a thing. That couldn't have been further from the truth. Although they gave me anesthesia, I was definitely awake. I felt out of it but aware enough to feel the pain during the surgery. When I told Dr. Tigari I could feel it, his response was, "I thought you were stronger than this." I was horrified, but there was no turning back. I spent the entire surgery squeezing the nurse's hand for comfort (bless her for being so kind). To make matters worse, I could hear Dr. Tigari and the nurses casually chatting during the procedure, asking me questions like who my favorite singer was and why I didn't attend their concert. I was conscious enough to have a conversation while they were performing liposuction. The whole experience was traumatizing, and I would never go through it again. The recovery was extremely painful, but even after healing, I noticed lumps, indents, and no real improvement in the size of my thighs. Six months post-op, I reached out to Dr. Tigari about my concerns, and his response was that results were "never guaranteed" and that my thighs "looked fine." They did offer some follow-up services to address the lumps, which helped slightly, but my scars are still visible despite two separate scar-removal treatments. To make matters worse, I discovered that the Care Credit plan wasn't interest-free as promised. My boyfriend realized the interest rate had skyrocketed, and I would have been paying off this procedure for the rest of my life if he hadn't stepped in and paid the remaining $4,000. Overall, this experience has scarred me for life physically, emotionally, and financially. If I'm paying $5,000 for a procedure, I expect results I'm happy with, not indents, lumps, and scars. I wish I had never gone through with this surgery and will never consider liposuction again.

    I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

Thought, from the commercial it would be an easy process with little downtime....long story short they convinced me to do a mommy makeover. The day of surgery I stayed in a hotel over night near there as I had follow up the next day. My bed looked like a crime scene I bled out so much. Within a week, I had an infection so bad the doctor told me to put a Kotex with bleach in the incision, which was the worst pain ever. He then had me start going to his Culver Ciry office, since it was closer to me and it was dirty and gross. Thankfully it was just for follow up. In 2023, I noticed leaking from my belly button on occasion but so minimal I didn't think too much about it. It would happen in rare occasions. Now fast forward to 2025, my belly button started really leaking and it smelled horrible. Went to my doctors, had to go through ultrasounds, ct scans, blood work....nothing. My belly would swell on occasion as big as someone who was 7 mi the pregnant. Finally they had me just walk in while leaking and swabbed it. It was an infection. They recommended seeing a plastic surgeon since they deduced it may have been from my plastic surgery. I called Sono Bello in San Diego thinking they would be able to at least see me. They had no record of my surgery and wouldn't help me at all. I finally went to a plastic surgeon I was familiar with in Claremont. Here we are in 2026 and I just had surgery yesterday to remove infected sutures in my belly button. The infection had gotten so bad the hole in my belly button was the size of an eraser head. Sono Bello was nice as could be when taking my money but the fact they had no record of my surgery or refused to even try to help was appalling. Do NOT fall for the scam, you get what you pay for and investing in your body and health is worth more.

    Came in with a wish, left with a glow-up…read more Seriously though, I had the best experience with my breast augmentation. From day one, the vibe was super chill and not at all intimidating. Dr. Salazar actually listened to what I wanted (shocking, I know) and helped me pick something that looks natural and fits my body--not the "copy/paste Instagram" look. Surgery day? Smooth. Recovery? Way easier than I had hyped up in my head. The team checked in, answered my random questions, and never made me feel like I was being extra (even when I definitely was). Now that I'm healed, I'm obsessed. They look so natural but also...hello confidence boost. 10/10 would trust them with my glow-up again.

    This review is so long overdue! I live in Los Angeles and wouldn't pick any other surgery center!…read moreIt's so worth the drive! The office is beautiful and clean. Most importantly, Dr. Smoot is amazing! I could not recommend him and his team enough! I feel a sense of connection to him because his brother (Dr. Wendell Smoot) did my very first breast augmentation 20 years ago at LJCSC so who else better to choose as your surgeon! I went to his office for a consultation regarding removing my 20 year old saline implants and replacing with silicone. I still wanted a very natural look but at the same time go a little bigger and be able to notice it. He took the time to listen to my concerns and my hopes for the outcome of my procedure. He recommends what's best for your body type so you have the best natural results as possible and I LOVE how absolutely honest he is. I trusted him 100% and he gave me the exact results that I wanted. From my initial consult, to my pre-op, to my surgery day, to my post-op's, everything just went so smoothly! In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.

    Exceptional service…read more I had an extraordinary experience with this practice which is usually very unheard if you go to a dentistry for surgery. The whole team were very professional, nice and knowledgeable. They were transparent about pricing and what to expect from the surgery. Doctor himself was the BEST. I can go on-and-on about all the details of how great was my experience in details, but you should try yourself because a review doesn't do the justice.

    My daughter's regular pediatric dentist found that she had an extra tooth way up in her gums... to…read moremake matters worse the tooth was upside down and would never come out on its own. She recommended Dr. Qaqish to do the surgery to remove the tooth. I was so anxious about the entire ordeal. My daughter is young and had never had any kind of procedure before. My only experience with oral surgery was my wisdom teeth removal 20 years ago and the recovery was SO BAD that I was fearful for my daughter. I was BEYOND impressed with the entire office. The front desk ladies are so helpful and friendly! The nurse who helped us was also amazing and helped put my daughter at ease. And of course, I can't sing enough praises for Dr. Q. My daughter felt almost no pain post surgery! Her recovery was seamless and I know it's because of the amazing work done by the doctor! I will absolutely be back when it comes time for my kids to get their wisdom teeth removed. I will be recommending this office to everyone! Also I believe they contracted the anesthesiologist... but I want him to be recognized for his kindness and patience! He called the day before with info and also explained to my 8 year old exactly what he was going to do in the OR. He let her try in the mask prior to surgery and helped make her comfortable:)! The best!
