This facility is absolutely stunning. Clean and professional. The abilities of Dr Filip are definitely worth it. He integrates different techniques to achieve what you're looking for. I felt comfortable with him and his staff. He didn't give any nonsense false hope, but his knowledge gave me the confidence that he would be the best choice for me. The preparation before surgery is done down to a science to help prevent infection and should be followed exactly. He offers non-narcotic pain relief with a newer pain medicine that manages the pain significantly. I would also recommend "Exparel"- long-acting, non-opioid prescription injection used to numb an area and provide pain relief for up to 72 hours after surgery. You won't regret it. I would highly recommend Dr Filip! P.S. Angie is wonderful! Such an incredible person and thorough throughout the whole process. For reference: I had a breast implant revision (removed and replaced with silicone), mini internal pocket lift, areola replacement and reduction on left side and positioned properly. (Feel free to correct me if there's more). Folks!!! Day one I was happy. I look forward to seeing the final results after everything settles in 6-12 months. Look no further.

Marcia McVey Local Guide·10 reviews·10 photos just now New If you're looking for a plastic surgeon who really listens to your goals, explains the process clearly, and is the utmost professional, I can't recommend Dr. Esther Yoonah Kim enough. She is a gifted and talented surgeon -- a true standout in her field. Let me back up and explain how I found her. I'm a 65-year-old woman who was ready for a big transformation -- not to look like someone else, but to feel like myself again. I started by interviewing several surgeons because I was planning to have a lot done and I wanted it to look natural. Many had great reviews and seemed capable, but Dr. Kim stood out from the very beginning. She was thoughtful, thorough, and so knowledgeable. My first consult with her lasted about an hour, and the second one went for two full hours. She took tons of notes on everything I said. I remember walking out thinking, She's the one. So, what did I have done? Quite a bit! I had a face, neck, and brow lift; fat grafting (used as filler in my facial area); lower eyelid blepharoplasty; and perioral dermabrasion on my upper lip. I was under anesthesia for around 8.5 hours. From pre-op to post-op, the process was easy to follow and honestly kind of seamless. I've had zero complications -- none. Now I'm two months out, and I feel fabulous. I think I look refreshed and natural -- not overdone at all. My scars are already fading, and I'd say I look 10 to 15 years younger. My neck was my biggest issue going in, and now it's one of my favorite results -- absolutely perfect. An unexpected perk? The fat grafting has improved my skin quality. My complexion is much clearer now, and the age spots I used to have are barely visible. Dr. Kim also has such great bedside manner. She's professional and focused but also warm and easy to talk to. And her staff -- from Alejandra to Erica to Maria (and I know I'm forgetting others!) -- they are all so kind, personable, and supportive. I always felt like I was in good hands. Before surgery, I felt like my outer appearance just didn't match how I felt inside. I'm active, healthy, and full of energy -- but I looked in the mirror and saw tired eyes, sagging skin, and that neck I couldn't stop noticing. Now, just a couple months later, I feel confident again. I still look like me -- just a better, fresher version. It truly was one of the best decisions I've made.

I was so comfortable with the office staff, the amazing RN, Jen and the absolute kind hearted, fabulous and talented Dr. Samimi. I had AI neck Lipo procedure done. From start to finish it was such a pleasurable experience. Dr's nurse, Jen is not only knowledgeable, but so patient, carefully explains everything and never complains that you have a thousand questions. Her humor adds to the comforting consultations and post procedure visits. What can I say about the doctor? So much, not only is his skill level extraordinary but, his credentials are unmatched, he has so much compassion, great bedside manner and explains everything in detail and make sure that he has thoroughly answered any questions or concerns that you might have. I would highly recommend this office and doctor. I am beyond thrilled with my results. From here on out if I need any other services, I will definitely come only to RevivaMed and Dr. Samimi! I now consider this Dr to be one of my top five favorites.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Ford and the entire support staff at Renuance!…read more After a year of debating a breast lift and augmentation and countless hours scouring the internet for the best reviewed plastic surgeons in the San Diego/Temecula/LA area, I finally started scheduling consults at the begging on 2026. Dr. Ford was my third and final consult and I knew instantly she was the doctor for me! I was ready to book before the consult was over - it was the first time the meeting felt more like a conversation and not just a formality. Vinny was so incredibly friendly and helpful in scheduling and all of my pre surgery questions. I was shocked when the anesthesiologist reached out to me a day or 2 before surgery just to ask if I had any questions or concerns. This conversation quickly quieted any pre surgery jitters I had. Day of surgery was a breeze. Dr. Ford really made me feel safe and cared for before surgery. I've never had any type of surgery before but with her confidence and incredible bedside manner, I never felt even a bit nervous while waiting in pre op. The prep and recovery nurses were also wonderful. Magaly is always so pleasant to work with and helps keep me on schedule for all of my check ups. Recovery has been easier than I expected. I am beyond thrilled with the results. A huge thank you to Dr. Ford and the entire Renuance staff for making this such an amazing process. I would trust Dr. Ford with any of my cosmetic surgery needs.

I decided why not since I was saving a great deal on the facial. She was very knowledgeable and recommended some skin care solutions that might help with a minor breakout I was having in recent weeks. I look forward to seeing Sydney again for esthetic services at Dr. Newman's, I highly recommend the HydraFacial with Sydney!

What makes it worse is that I even went back for another consultation to express my concerns and hoped they would offer real solutions but it was mentioned "we can't always promise perfect results when it comes to rhinoplasty's" I felt like my concerns were minimized and pushed aside with excuses. I understand no surgery is perfect, but this experience did not meet the standard I expected from a plastic surgery practice charging premium prices. I would strongly encourage anyone considering rhinoplasty here to do extensive research

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Wongworawat and his staff!…read moreAfter consulting with other surgeons, I knew I made the right choice moving forward with Dr. W. From the moment I walked through the front door, I felt like I was in for something very special. The atmosphere of the office could only be described as state-of-the-art. I felt completely comfortable from the get go. The staff goes above and beyond the call of duty. They are the most friendly and courteous people I've ever encountered in a doctors office. They should make a training video for other practices. The phrase that comes to mind when I think of Dr. W is "Master of his Profession". Not only is he a perfectionist when it comes to plastic surgery, he possesses all of the other qualities you want in a doctor when it comes to making you feel comfortable and informed, as well as making sure all of your questions have been answered. I knew he was extra special when the nurse prepping me for surgery made a comment. Unsolicited by me, she said "You picked a great doctor. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is very personable. He's got the whole package". I agree 100%! I am very happy with the results of my surgery.
