After

My husband was referred to Dr. Bermudez by his orthopedic surgeon. after he developed a cystoma at the incision site after back surgery. Dr. Bermudez was incredibly kind and patient . He treated him methodically and did not jump into surgery. He saw him weekly a few times hoping it would resolve with minimal intervention which we appreciated. But, he did end up doing a procedure and the procedure was smooth and the drain he placed did its job well. The area has healed well and is smooth and causes me no further trouble. Post Op care was also meticulous. He felt very well looked after. We would highly recommend Dr. Bermudez and his staff for your plastic surgery needs.

I have had Dr. Bermudez do a few procedures on me in the past, but after my recent facelift experience, I will not be seeing him again. Dr. B. has a reputation for being conservative in his approach, which can be fine as you don't want to look overdone (i.e. like you permanently have a too-tight ponytail). But after spending in excess of $20k on my facelift, not only did it not look like I never had a facelift, I now had a head full of scars. His facelift approach was so conservative that, after healing, neither friends nor I could not tell the difference. Isn't the whole idea of a facelift that you're left with obvious improvement? I had specifically asked to have my naso-labial and marionette lines reduced, my jowls tightened so they would no longer be droopy, and my double chin reduced. Now I still have the lines, my jowls are not only still droopy but now they are uneven, and there was minimal difference to the "double chin" area. Additionally, in describing the surgery to me he never mentioned I would have a scar under my chin. But after my bandages came off I was horrified to discover there was a 1.5-2" scar there, and the sutures were not the nice, neat ones I would have expected from a cosmetic surgery; there were just a few widely-spaced sutures that left the skin puckered. The scar healed that way, and now almost 1.5 years later, the scar is still puckered and stands proud of the skin in such a way that it is visible when looking at me head on. (See photo.) When I saw Dr. B. in person and expressed my concerns he was dismissive of them. He stated he saw improvement in my face so as far as he was concerned, the surgery was successful. When I complained that he never told me about the under-chin incision he said I must have forgotten. (I myself am a medical professional and I would have remembered about something as significant as an additional facial scar.) When I complained about the very obvious chin scar, he stated (as he was standing above me while I was seated) that he could not see it. I feel that the facelift surgery he performed on me was a complete waste of a large amount of money, and his dismissive attitude towards my concerns means I will neither go back to him nor recommend him to any of my friends.

I am hesitant to write this review as I myself am a small business owner and value others in the same position. However, I feel it is important to share my experience with Dr. Bermudez, whom I hired to perform my 360 lipo, arms lipo, and fat transfer to my buttocks in November 2022, based on his positive reviews. Unfortunately, I missed one review with a one-star rating, and I ended up with a BOTCHED surgery. As a result, I have indentations on my stomach due to the garment and foam provided by his office, and it is not evident that I underwent lipo. See attached photos. As a gesture of good faith, Dr. Bermudez offered to perform a tummy tuck, but I would have to pay for the hospitalization. However, after consulting with several other plastic surgeons, I was advised against this as I didn't have enough excess skin to stretch, and a noticeable scar would be left behind. Furthermore, the recovery process would be much longer. The plastic surgeons who reviewed the operative report noted that not much fat was removed from the liposuction. Dr. Bermudez lacks compassion, he does not care about his patients and has a condescending and hot-tempered personality. Patients do not have access to him directly, and he never checks in on them. He simply takes your money and leaves you on your own. His staff is friendly but disorganized, and the instructions provided are confusing.

Despite his vast experience and accomplishments in the field, he never once came across as arrogant or self-important, something I unfortunately encountered with other surgeons. He is incredibly calm, grounded, humble, and genuinely kind. There is something so peaceful about his presence that immediately gave me a tremendous sense of comfort and confidence. I had my septoplasty and rhinoplasty just a week ago, and throughout the entire process, he has been exceptionally patient and reassuring. I must have asked him the same questions over and over again, and not once did he make me feel rushed or uncomfortable. He always took the time to listen, explain, and reassure me with genuine care. His staff is equally wonderful! Everyone has been amazing, but I especially want to recognize Amy. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, warm, and truly exceptional at what she does. Having someone like her guide you through the experience makes all the difference. I'm only one week into my recovery, but I already feel so grateful to have chosen Dr. Kim. Finding a surgeon with exceptional expertise is important, but finding one who combines that expertise with such humility, patience, and a calming presence is something truly special. Thank you, Dr. Kim, Amy, and the entire team, for making what could have been an intimidating experience feel so positive, peaceful, and reassuring. I couldn't have asked for a better team!

For context, I received 3cc facial Renuva injections in Beverly Hills two years ago but that…read moresurgeon didn't numb my face and those injections were more painful than actual surgery. Fast forward to this year, I read that Dr. Rajagopal was the number one Renuva provider in the country and her website stated that numbing cream was used. I was terrified of more pain but hopeful that this experience would be less painful. At this office, numbing cream was literally applied to my face for 30 minutes and then ice was applied afterwards. Although the injections were still painful, they were much more tolerable. Dr. Rajagopal has a gentle hand, a kind demeanor, and good aesthetic sense. I've seen four other different plastic surgeons but Dr. Rajagopal has given me the most faith in doctors. I wish that I had known about her earlier. I would definitely come here for Renuva injections or other treatments as needed. They are not inexpensive at 2500 for 3 cc. Dr. Rajagopal clearly cares about people and their comfort. This is very important as any surgery or injection is a stressful experience so bedside manners and genuine concern is priceless. The only odd thing was that I was presented the bill during numbing by a staff member. Payment is expected after treatment and I knew the cost beforehand so it was strange to get the bill during the middle of the procedure and then after the procedure again. I would have been happy to pay in advance if they are worried about people leaving without paying. In any case, the office staff was nice. There was easy and free private parking provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rajagopal for her keen aesthetic eye and caring demeanor.

She was genuinely compassionate while also being honest about what she thought would be most effective for addressing my concerns. The value of being able to stand, undressed, with a new person, and to talk with them about your body is such an intimate act - and Dr. Xu handled this with me with expertise and grace. She validated my progress and was encouraging about future potential. Dr. Xu was professional and caring in every encounter. The office staff is welcoming and encouraging and humorous. The space is lovely and feels comfortable. The most wonderful thing is ... the outcome of the surgery, the contouring specifically is truly beautiful. I feel like I have my own natural arm shape and it feels freeing and makes me so happy. Surgery comes with scars and they are a trade off for me. I love my arms so much, even with the scars, which are still young and will heal and fade further. Scar tape works incredibly well and is a very low cost resource I highly recommend. For me, Dr. Xu's personality, her skill set, and her eye for esthetics are simply incredible. It is also clear that the office team is trying to provide an experience for their clients to feel welcomed, held, cared about, and supported throughout the process, including into recovery. One thing I would prepare others for who are considering this option is that the surgery center and anesthesiologist were an expensive part of the overall package. While I trust and feel confident with Dr. Xu, there are other people who also support the surgery. The anesthesiologist was trying to put an iv in my foot, which was painful, before Dr. Xu arrived and advised him to put me under first. That seems like something the anesthesiologist, with all his years of experience, should have known to do himself. The surgery itself went beyond the estimated time and both the surgery center and anesthesiologist had additional fees, increasing the overall cost by ~2k. With that said, I do highly recommend Dr. Xu to others. Go meet her and her team and hear her thoughts and see if what she can offer will meet your needs.
