    I love Dr. Fabi so much. I've been seeing her for 10 years, and I genuinely look better now than…read morewhen I started. That says everything. She listens to my concerns and I have complete confidence that when she recommends something to me, she has my best interest in mind and the results are always natural. I always look like myself -- just better. I've referred multiple friends to her and they've all had the same experience. Highly recommend without hesitation.

    I'm writing this review after intentionally waiting two full weeks to give everything time to…read moresettle. I was a long-time patient at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and exclusively saw Dr. Loyal, who has since left the practice. I then booked with Dr. Sabrina Fabi for the first time, influenced by her large social media presence and how the front desk emphasized how hard it is to get an appointment with her. For context, I'm very experienced with Botox and have had it done many times in the same areas without issue. At this visit, I received Botox in my masseters, crow's feet, under-eye bag line, 11s, and forehead. None of these areas were new for me. Dr. Fabi arrived about 40 minutes late, which I was told is "typical." That night, I developed large, visible lumps in my masseters and additional bumps near my temples when opening my mouth. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I returned to the office two days later and was told it was "normal" and that Botox takes two weeks to settle. By the time of my follow-up appointment nearly a week later, my appearance was extremely abnormal. The best way I can describe it is that I looked like a mix between Chiseled Squidward and Quasimodo. I pay a premium to go to a cosmetic dermatology practice because this is my face, and I expect expertise, precision, and accountability. At the follow-up, I felt dismissed and gaslit. While the masseter issue was acknowledged, my main concern was new bumps near my eyes that I never had before. Dr. Fabi insisted they were always there, which is simply not true. I have clear before photos. When I said I felt my before looked better, her response was, "Oh, with your hooded eyes?" That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional. It has now been over a week since the follow-up and the bumps are still present. I paid $1,500 and feel worse about my appearance than when I walked in. Botox has risks, but the lack of ownership and dismissal of my concerns is why I won't be returning. I'll be sharing photos so others can make an informed decision.

Stef made the whole process smooth and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout and when I had doubts about anything I was able to call, text &/or email only to get a prompt response with detailed feedback about all my questions/concerns. 8 years ago I had a horrible past surgery experience my results were not at all what I had requested but Dr. Gocken made me feel comfortable that he could help he has awesome bedside manners, down to earth, listened and advised based on my concerns without being pushy which made me feel at ease and that I was making the right choice.

I'm a very active person and feel good about my body with the exception of these arms. I decided why be insecure if I have the money to change it. I had such a life boost after a rhinoplasty, so now I'm all about buying a little confidence. We only have one life y'all!! 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!

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.

    I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I…read morealways knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

    I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

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.

    I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.
