I'm no stranger to reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, so believe me when I say Dr. Harry Mittelman is a very talented facial plastic surgeon. Years ago, he performed reconstructive surgery after I suffered a blast injury which damaged my hand, face and neck. After multiple surgeries, my face and hand appeared as if I suffered no trauma at all. My neck had a few scars but since then, Dr Mittelman developed an original technique for addressing aging neck issues ("the horizontal neck lift") which restored my neck to the way it looked in my late 30's. I'm 67 yrs of age and 25 days ago Dr. Mittelman performed this surgery on my neck (along with some other procedures to freshen my appearance) and I look and feel fabulous. read more

Very disappointed with both the bedside manner and the outcome of my treatment. Dr. Mittelman had performed this treatment on me twice before, and I had previously been happy with both the experience and the results, which made this experience especially surprising. This appointment was hurried and chaotic (I heard him tell his assistant to take off my numbing cream because he had an appointment to get to), without the cooling support measures I had received during prior treatments, which made an already painful procedure more stressful. I am still hoping there will not be any lasting skin damage or scarring. Recovery has been far more difficult than anticipated (one month out and still significant streaking and redness), and I ultimately sought two outside opinions and continued care with another doctor. In my experience, the approach and communication style felt somewhat outdated compared to other providers I've seen. read more

I've been seeing Dr Mittelman for 25 years. I can't say enough about his professionalism, and his aesthetic eye. He performs very natural looking results without looking like you have had work done. read more

If you're looking for a rhinoplasty look no further. I recently had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Mittelman. He is truly a talented surgeon. He did mine using the closed method and it came out beautiful and natural. Very little bruising and an easy painless recovery. The staff are also very friendly and organized. read more

Just got my first lip injections. All I can say was it was AMAZING and I'm happy as can be. Harry and his team made me feel so comfortable and safe. From the thorough consultation to the actual process. Not to mention the process was quick and as pain free as possible. I asked for natural and plump and that's exactly what i got. Happy to say I'm now a loyal patient to Harry. 10/10 read more

Dr. Mittelman is incredibly gifted with his hands. I've had his surgeries multiple times, I wouldn't have gone anywhere else. I knew my finished look wouldn't be overdone and would be extremely realistic, tasteful and miraculous. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else. Perfection is what he always achieved, his youthful transformations giving me the most exciting years of my life. In addition Dr. Mittelman is a warm and gentle soul who truly cares about his patients as human beings. Now 70 years old, I'm so glad I had the good fortune to discover him when I was young. Thank you again, Dr. Mittelman!! read more

I got my nose fillers and lip fillers done by Dr. Mittelman and I'm obsessed! Originally I had thought I needed rhinoplasty to correct my nose but Dr.Mittelman insisted all I needed was some fillers and he was right! In regards to my lips, he is an amazing doctor that knows how to give you exactly what you want! He's very careful with not overdoing it, or making you look unnatural. Here are some pics of my before and after on my nose! And a picture of my lips immediately after I got them done. Can't wait for my next appointments! read more

My friend recommended me here and could not stop raving about this Dr. Her results were perfection and when I decide to move forward on my procedure I know where to go! And LINDAY, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THINKING A CONSULT SHOULD BE FREE??? You're paying for someone's time, knowledge, training and professionalism. Next time you go to work, work one month for free and see how that feels.. ALSO, you can use the word "NO."...? read more

So happy for everything Dr. Mittelman has done for me over the years! I look as young as I feel. I am so grateful for his ability to keep it real and natural. In my opinion, there's no one better. Thank you! read more

I went to many different providers before finding Dr. Mittelman a few years ago. Not only is Dr. Mittelman's care exemplary but his office staff is amazing too and very caring. They actually work with you to find times that work and always follow-up. For me, Dr. Mittelman provides botox and tear trough and he knows exactly what he is doing. He takes the time to understand my face and I always leave the office very happy and natural looking. After looking at my before and after I also have sent many friends to Dr. Mittelman and they are all equally happy. He is the BEST!!!! I trust him 110% and will never go anywhere else. He is also a very kind person who wants the best for his patients. read more

My dad recommends Dr. Mittleman whom he has never met. He only sees his results. He is a hairstylist (owned a salon for 50 yrs) and he always recommends this surgeon's work to his clients. He describes Dr. Mittleman's facelifts as "flawless." My dad is a super picky, perfectionist and notices scarring, whether or not people look natural, etc. One year alone he had 8 clients get facelifts whom he sent here. He even lost a client who was a relative of another local plastic surgeon by being honest about her relative's work. (He didn't know they were related until after she asked for his opinion.) That surgeon scarred a client's face so badly that she has to wear bangs for the rest of her life, so he wasn't impressed with that doctor. There are a few surgeons he warns people not to got to and this is the only one in the South Bay whom he sends people to strictly because of the results. Now that I'm getting older, I too need fillers and my mom needs a touch-up facelift. My dad warned us not to go anywhere else, describing many good client experiences with Dr. Mittleman and many negative client experiences elsewhere. Some of the things he describes that can go wrong are frightening. I will update this review with our personal experiences once we have our procedures. read more

Dr. Mittelman did an amazing face and upper neck lift on my 75 yr old mom who had the "worst wrinkles" he's ever worked on. She hated looking at herself, but now she's proud to look in the mirror. The confidence she's gained outweighs the risks and pain. I was afraid the pain and healing would be much tougher than it actually was for a 75 year old. Also, it's amazing that as much work as he did she looks natural. She still has enough wrinkles to look like she just aged normally. I would like to add that my mom has considered this procedure and spoke with many surgeons over the years. She chose Dr. M because she trusted him. read more

I have wanted a facelift for years, and I did my homework. I met with at least six cosmetic surgeons in the bay area, and met with Dr. Mittelman at least three different times during the last 10 years. I found his patients to have the most natural looking results, and ultimately chose him to do my surgery. It's important to consider that he specializes only in facial surgery--and not every cosmetic procedure that may be trending. I am now six weeks post-op and I want to thank Dr. Mittelman and his Fellow, Dr. Kieliszak, for the beautiful result they achieved with the "canvas" that is my face! The artistic reference is fitting and the result is truly remarkable! I felt their warmth, concern, excitement and enthusiasm for my procedure and they made this adventure as easy as possible. I must also comment on the kindness of Dr. Mittelman's staff. He has an awesome team of delightful, caring, efficient and professional women whom I have so appreciated throughout this experience. Because of Dr. M's advice, professionalism and pure talent, my 60's looks like a very fun place to be. My heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Mittelman (McDreamy), Dr. Kieliszak (McSteamy), and their professional staff (my nicknames for the doc's). read more

Dr Mittelman gave me botox for the first time...after a few days my forehead felt heavy and now I look angry all the time. I can't even put makeup on my eyes because of the wrinkles. Will never get it done here again.. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Mittelman. He has a great eye and great judgment. He does just enough to yield amazing effects. Nothing looks overdone. I had a "dent" in my brow and in my jaw. Both threw off the symmetry of my face. Dr. Mittelman applied just the right amount of filler to both areas, and the results are incredible. I'm very pleased and grateful. Dr. Mittelman is also professional, friendly, and down-to-earth. His office staff is too. Many thumbs up for the excellent experiences I've had at this practice. read more

I am a client of the Face to Face project and a victim of domestic abuse for many years. Throughout those years, it took it's toll on me emotionally and psychologically and physically. Thanks to programs like "Face to Face" which Dr. Mittelman's office, is a part of. With the help of your Big Heart and wonderful staff, whom were never judgmental nor full of curious questions. One that I heard so often, "why did you stay or what got you to leave"? I was greeted with warm smiles and willingness to want to help. The domestic abuse resulted in a fractured jaw, a deviated septum, protruding and broken teeth. Scars from open facial wounds and sagging eyelids from so many black eyes, my face had endured. I am currently working on trying to further correcting my eyelids and other facial parts that I feel would help bring my looks back to where I first started, before the abuse. With help from your office, I am continuing to work on those aspects. With teamwork from both Dr. Shreiber and Dr. Mittleman, your team was able to come together with a plan, to help me feel and look normal again. All along re-assuring me that my face didn't look that bad, which was very flattering and far from normal of what I was accustomed to hearing, for so many years. Both professional and willing to hear all of my concerns and answer any questions. I want to thank your office from the bottom of my heart for your empathy and willingness to want to help myself and others that are Victims. For doing research in finding an outpatient hospital, that was willing to donate a room, to perform the surgery. I really cannot emphasize how great my gratitude is to your team on how thankful I am for your work and your time. I am hoping to return to your office soon. As I know I need a little more work done, that was not covered by the face to face program!! Will be seeing you soon!! read more

I got rhinoplasty done by Dr. Trujillio and Harry Mittleman and I'm so happy with their work. I lived with a disfigured nose for a long time and met with many surgeons who came off like salesmen so I decided to wait until I felt comfortable with a surgeon who actually wanted to help me look my best. All the staff are very kind and welcoming. I was well taken care of at the surgery center right across the street. At anytime if I were in the slightest discomfort they were right there to help. I highly recommend Harry Mittleman & Dr. Trujillo, they really are the greatest surgeons in the bay area! read more

Getting plastic surgery was something I wanted to do for myself for a very long time. It took me a long time to find a doctor that I liked; someone who did great work and was personable with his patients. When I finally found Dr. Mittelman, my hopes of this face I always dreamed of started to become a reality. I started feeling very anxious about my surgery date, but the whole team made me feel very at ease. Kim and Terry were extremely comforting and provided me with advice and some ideas of what to expect after my surgery. The whole team was so accommodating for me, they even came in on a Saturday to treat me for a post op appointment. I drove from Dublin to Los Altos to see Dr. Mittelman, and it was 100% worth it. I couldn't be happier with my post op results. read more

I had my upper eyelids done by Dr. Mittelman. I was expecting improvement, but I think the results are fabulous. Dr. Mittelman and I talked a lot about what I was hoping to get out of the surgery and what he thought was possible. I had some wrinkles and heavy "hooding" that made me look tired. And I think we were perfectly aligned -- healthy improvement without making me look unnatural. I had talked to other plastic surgeons in the area, and I chose Dr. Mittelman because of our conversations. The procedure was easy and fairly painless. Dr. Mittelman and his staff were professional and personable -- supportive, reassuring, patient and just really pleasant. Recovery was surprisingly fast. After about 14 days, most of the bruising was gone. And the scars are minimal -- two very, very faint and fine lines that disappear entirely with my normal makeup routine. I had a really great experience with Dr. Mittelman. And now I can't imagine going to any other plastic surgeon for anything -- not even Botox! In a few years, I'll be in need of lower eyelid work. I'll be going to Dr. Mittelman for that as well. read more

This is for just the consult fee only bs, $85, forces the patient to go ahead with services since money is applied to procedures, after you've spent money for the consult visit, then why would you not go ahead with the procedure no matter what you thought of the place or doctor, you spent the money already, it traps the patient into spending money. No compassion for the patient, just a $. read more

Really nice staff, can't wait for my chemical peel, consult and hand rejuvenation procedure (rohrer phoenix co2).

I am a 62 year old man who went to Dr. Mittelman for a cheek filler of Voluma, along with botox reduction of frown lines between the eyes. I chose him because of his long experience, and positive reputation, after having been to a few consultations elsewhere. I could have chosen a number of others, who were much closer to home, but figured quality is worth the drive. After the injections I had a couple of minor issues with the way it turned out, people can be picky about their face. Dr. Mittelman handled this impressively, offering a "touch up", during which he had a very understanding attitude. After experiencing his very professional approach, and his skill, I feel that I made the right choice. Dr. Trujillio was noticeably high quality too, as were the front desk staff, all polite and helpful consistently. Dr. Mittelman made me a satisfied customer, and the result does look good. read more

Dr. Mittelman is a highly skilled surgeon with an excellent aesthetic. I think he's a genius. It's been ten days since I had my nose and neck done, and I love the results. I was nervous about having this surgery--put it off for years--and now I wish I had it done sooner. I have never written a Yelp review before, but because I'm so happy with my results, I feel obligated to spread the word. If you are contemplating facial plactic surgery, go for a consultation with Dr. Mittelman. You'll be glad you did. I know I am. Also, his staff is knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. I can't say enough good things about his nurse, Terry. read more

Do not go here. You have been warned. I had a procedure done and it was horrible. He only wants your money. Go elsewhere and good luck. You will thank me read more

In need of a full face lift, I consulted with 4 of whom I felt where the top rated cosmetic surgeons in the Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Los Altos areas. I wanted to choose the best surgeon, since I have seen face lifts with coarse cuts under the ears and some noticible asymetry in the tightness of the face. Additionally, I knew that my looks could benefit not just with reducing the appearance of my age, but with a chin implant, since I always had a receiding chin line given to me by my father's side. Dr. Mittelman was the one surgeon who specifically stated that a chin implant would improve my looks substantally. One other surgeon agreed after I asked him near the end of our consultation. After much research and self analization I choose Dr. Mittelman because I felt he is extremely detailed and would do the best job of making me look younger, and improve my looks. So in 1995 he and his staff did a face lift with neck liposuction, chin implant, and brow lift. I must say Dr. Mittleman did marvelous job. The cuts are barely noticible. My face is much more symetrical, younger looking and for the first time I feel like a man with a strong chin line which gives my face a much more structured look. It looks so good I might even be able to be nominated to do a U. S. Marines commercial! It's been a great 6 years feeling that I look so good. I continue to have Dr. Mittleman,his nurse/assistant Terry, and his staff take care of my ongoing need to look as good as I possibly can. Botox, filler and light lazer work have all been performed by The Mittelman Team to maintane and augment my looks. Dr. Mittelman always personally injects the Botox while his nurse/assiatant Terry injects the filler. They do marvelous work and I highly trust them. read more

Dr. Mittelman and his team are friendly, professional, and set an extremely high bar for patient care. This is a doctor's office you can trust to treat you with kindness and provide you with excellent service and treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Harry Mittelman and Lee Ann Steffen. read more

I have been going to Dr, Middelman's office for years and they are wonderful! The entire staff are professional and excellent at providing wonderful results! I have recommended numerous friends, who have been very please as well. read more

Today I had an earlobe repair procedure by Dr. Mittelman. I was very nervous and truly appreciated the care Dr. Mittelman took to explain the before, during and after aspects of the procedure, which helped to put me at ease. Dr. Mittelman is a very accessible, highly skilled surgeon. He is also a mentor to post doctoral fellows, which demonstrates his deep commitment to his field and his practice. Terry (Dr. M's nurse) is fantastic, and she talked to me during my procedure today, which was an enormous comfort to me. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mittelman to anyone who has a plastic surgical need. He and his professional team--from the front desk to those who assist during procedures and everyone else who works there, all provide exceptional, compassionate care to their patients, and make you feel like you personally are their highest concern and priority. read more

I had my first procedure by Dr. Mittleman in 1995. A full facelift, eyes, chin implant, neck lipo. The results were amazing, almost pain free, and I could go out in public (with sun glasses) after a week. After 2 weeks I really saw the new ME. Both the pre-op and post-op were terrific, helping me through the process, as this is a huge decision, not without fear and risk. My husband, who had been against all of this was so impressed (jealous?), that he decided to have his own lift, and of course by Dr. Mittleman. I have continued to see Dr. Mittleman's office for minor procedures, laser, some filler, etc. I would never go to anyone else. I have total confidence in this office staff, and Dr. Mittleman in particular, in terms of my own personal experience. I have never had a problem with any work to date. And Terry is a delightful and skilled practitioner who is most helpful now with my post-op issues with aging skin. Aren't we lucky to have the ability to look as good as we feel? Top marks for sure. HOORAY! read more

Dr Mittelman, I have just recently noticed this response from you. I feel the need to respond even though it has been many years now. At the time of my surgery I was concerned about the scaring of my lids which I expressed to you and was actually brushed off by being told that it would get better in time. The years didn't make the scars any better! Quite honestly I feel as though the scaring has made my lids look even more aged! Honestly to this day the worst eyelid surgery I have ever seen, and being a hair stylist I see a lot of them! Because of the outcome here I truly became afraid of any kind of cosmetic surgery. And as far as the scar revision on my check that was something that you suggested that I do, it wasn't something I brought to your attention. It was a flop! If you aren't 100% sure you can make an improvement you shouldn't make the recommendation! With all due respect Dr. Mittelman it's easy to come on here and say you would be happy to take care of it, but be real!!! First of all who goes back to a Cosmetic surgeon that did a horrible job the first time?!And secondly if you truly stood behind your work and were concerned about your patient satisfaction you would have done a follow up the first time I mentioned it to you instead of giving me the brush off! Also after seeing the review you might've reached out to me to offer my money back... we are talking about thousands of dollars here! Or at the very least see if there was any way to find resolve. We do similar work doctor we are both in the industry of making people look better. I can't imagine somebody telling me they were unhappy with something I did to their hair and me brushing them off with no follow up! It's called INTEGRITY!! read more

My first visit was July 2017. I am so glad that I left that foo-foo skin clinic and came here. They are not always upselling on injections here. They do the best Laser Genesis by far. I am old . . . almost 65 in 4 months . . . and I have been getting one treatment here and that is all I need! I don't need botox or fillers because the Laser Genesis rocks my world. I was getting Laser Genesis at another place, and they did not have the setting as high as Dr. Trujillo and Dr. Mittelman. They give you all the laser you need here! The Laser Genesis I get here is better than what I got at other places. I highly recommend Dr. Mittelman's office for whatever you need. I will not leave this office. They are worth every hundred dollar bill I give them. My face and neck are smooth and glowing because of Dr. Trujillo. He used the highest setting (which is what I paid for and didn't get at other places). Today I got a retinol cream . . . will write about that later. Please go see this office if you are considering any treatment for your skin. You will never need to go to another doctor or foo-foo skin clinic. The search is over for me. read more

I found Dr Mittelman through the recommendation of a friend and I can see why. The office staff is amazing. Kim always treats me like a friend when I walk in the door, and knowing I have to keep an eye on my finances she helps me manage my Aspire and Galderma points for savings! Terry is THE nicest, I am a nervous patient but she always explains things in detail and has a fantastic bed side manner. Dr Mittelman is the brains of this outfit, he doesn't mince words but at the end of the day he will always advise you wisely and honestly. I'm a loyal patient and I'd recommend. read more

Had to give review because I am thrilled with Dr Mittleman's work. I am 9 days post op and I couldn't be happier. Was so worried I wouldn't look natural, but it is exactly as I wished. Now my friends all want to go to him. No one can believe it! I chose him because a friend of a friend went to him and got great results. This is your man! read more

Dr Mittelman is an amazing artist. He performed my "face rejuvenation" 6 years ago and I'm still thrilled with the results at 65 years old. I go in about every 6 months for a plumping/fillers and am always happy with the results. Terry and staff are always gracious and warm. It was important to me, on this journey of self improvement, that I have a natural and more importantly happy look. Because of Dr. Mittelman I know I'm aging more gracefully and with so much more confidence. read more

I noticed that I looked tired and unhappy in photos. After years of very good skincare, genetics had won out. 40 years ago Dr. Mittelman operated on my nose and I've been very happy with the results! It was only natural to consult Dr. Mittelman for my face lift. Dr. Mittelman's expertise and kindness are a wonderful combination. Terri and the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. I would never trust anyone else to touch my face. I am thrilled with the results of my facelift! My sons say I look more like "me." Perfect!! read more

I flew my mom in from the East Coast to have a full face lift with Dr. Mittelman. Our experience was outstanding. Though she wanted a face lift she had been hesitant to move forward because she had seen some overdone, bad jobs done by other surgeons. Dr. Mittelman immediately put her at ease by showing several before and after photos of his patients. He stated his goal is to attain a natural, refreshed look as opposed to an overly pulled/ fake look like she had seen in the past done by other surgeons. The surgery went smoothly. Dr. Mittelman's staff was professional and caring. Her recovery was very easy. She returned to the East Coast and said friends who hadn't seen her in a while kept saying, "you look so beautiful and well rested." She often says, "I look in the mirror in the morning and say thank you Dr. Mittelman." Though I have not had a face lift I regularly see Dr. Mittelman for Botox and sometimes filler. I've never had a droopy eyelid or other problems I've heard friends complain about after getting Botox. We highly recommend Dr. Mittelman. read more

A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Mittelman when I told her I was interested in botox injections for my crow's feet and frown lines between the eyes. So, I made an appointment and have to say that I have been thrilled with the results! And, everyone in the office, including Dr. Mittelman, is so helpful, warm and friendly! They truly make you feel like a part of their family! read more

The last review I wrote on Dr. Mittelman was 1/17/2013 immediately after my facelift so this is just an updated report to say that everything has gone well and I'm happy with the over all results. You cannot see any scars at all on me because Dr. Mittelman made the incision on the edge (inside) of my ear and not down the front of the ear, as some plastic surgeons do for a facelift. The other incisions were behind my ear and in the hairline, which also can't be seen. It seems that a lot of plastic surgeons that I've talked to in the past have a real ego problem, but that is not the case with Dr. Mittelman. I feel that he really listens to his patients and what they want. Most important, I feel he really cares about his patients. I've had several follow-up appointments with both Dr. Mittelman and Dr. Schreiber, both have great personalities and they always take time to make sure you are happy and well. read more
