Dr Filip (pronounced "Phillip") is a great plastic surgeon. The amount of information they provide…read moreyou from start to finish and the questions Dr answers clearly explain the process. 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.

Violation #6 I have implant removal surgery 5 and half grueling and painful months after my initial surgery at San Diego Surgical Center observed by over 20 members of the medical profession. My surgeon did not speak to me before or after the surgery. No photos or descriptions of the removed implants. No pathology report of the fluid and material removed from the surgical area as requested by Kaiser Medical. No documentation of key findings and/reasoning for my pain and suffering the prior 5 months Violation #7 My surgeon sends me paperwork releasing me as a patient (abandonment) the day after I request the documentation above with stitches still in my body, unanswered questions regarding next steps, no new plastic surgeon to step in and take his place during the peak of Covid 19 lockdown. I am told it will take 6 months to a year before I heal and see the results. As I continue to seek Medical help, and Learn New findings as of June 10,2022. My surgeon was negligent in his care and treatment of me in that he failed to care for and treat me in accordance with the standard of care and skill required of and ordinarily exercised by the average qualified surgeon engaged in medical practice at that professional level, such as that in which my surgeon was engaged. My surgeon's medical negligence included, but was not limited to, failure to reschedule the procedure at the height of the Covid 19 Pandemic, failure to select an alternate surgical facility and accompanied staff equal to that of San Diego Surgical Center, failure to examine post operative findings properly using available technologies ie: MRI tools, and diagnose my medical condition, failure to provide, recommend and refer me for appropriate diagnostic study, care, consultation, and treatment, failure to properly recommend the appropriate follow-up with me, failure to monitor my progress, failure to communicate any findings or discoveries during the second surgery and the withholding of information and documentation regarding my status.
