If there were a Michelin Guide for surgeons, Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy would have three stars and a line wrapped around the block. He is, quite simply, a master of his craft -- the rare kind of surgeon whose hands are as gifted as his heart is kind. From the moment you walk into his office, you feel a sense of calm, as though you've just stepped into the care of someone who not only knows exactly what he's doing, but genuinely cares about you -- the whole you, not just the part you want improved. He listens with the patience of a saint, explains with the clarity of a professor, and reassures you with the warmth of someone who has dedicated his life to helping people feel whole, confident, and beautiful. Dr. Lesavoy's reputation precedes him, of course -- decades of excellence, pioneering work, countless grateful patients -- but meeting him in person reminds you why people adore him: he is humble, gracious, and profoundly human. In a world where some Beverly Hills physicians are more impressed with themselves than their patients, Dr. Lesavoy is the refreshing opposite. He leads with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. And his results? Let's just say this: if I had known I could trust someone this much with my face, my body, or any part of me, I would have saved myself years of worrying, Googling, and a few questionable experiments with over-the-counter solutions that definitely did not come with FDA approval. His work is natural, elegant, and refined -- the kind of beauty that whispers rather than shouts. You don't walk out looking like someone else; you walk out looking like your best self, the version of you who got a full night's sleep, drinks enough water, and maybe has a personal lighting crew. Dr. Lesavoy is not only a brilliant surgeon -- he is a gentleman, an artist, and one of the most trustworthy physicians I've ever met. I recommend him wholeheartedly, gratefully, and with deep admiration. If you are lucky enough to be in his care, consider yourself blessed. Truly! read more

Dr. Lesavoy is honest, and a really great doctor in general. His work speaks for itself

Avoid. avoid. avoid ! He fucked up my boob job major. I did NOT get what I paid for. And has the audacity to want to charge me MORE to fix his mistake than the actual initial job cost. Say what? Dude just didn't want to fix his mistake. Retirement time? read more

Had upper and lower blepharoplasty procedure performed October 2023 by Malcom. He's been a dear friend for many years. results were way better than I expected.. 100% A team staff as well. Highly recommended. Thank you, Malcom :) read more

A plaintiff attorney referred me to Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy re: a medical malpractice case. Dr. Lesavoy wrote in his notes that I came prepared with facts and spoke with intelligence. He acknowledged pain and deformities in his report, however there are also multiple mistakes in his report, and his actions do not reflect a wise or prudent practitioner. Here's what an honest doctor wrote: "SL, my patient, medically needed a breast reduction. The surgeon (Dr. B.), however, did more extensive procedures than necessary or agreed upon. The surgery irreversibly destroyed much of the patient's subcutaneous myofasical and other tissues. Performing surgery without proper informed consent falls below the standard of care, is evidence of clear negligence, and has caused irreparable harm to Ms. L's life. Before surgery the patient was a highly functional, physically active, and employed person. Now Ms. L is totally and permanently disabled, and her health continues to decline." He also said, "This is CLEAR-CUT BUTCHERY. HORRIBLE." During what was to be conservative breast reduction with slight spot specific lipo contour, Dr. B stabbed me dozens of times into my buttock, illiotibial bands, hamstrings, kneecaps, and hipbones. He left me bloody, un-sutured, and convulsing in pain. He took over six pounds from me after telling me there'd be no weight loss. I was 5'2", fit, and at my perfect muscular weight. Another doctor wrote: "Simple examination of Ms. L's buttocks reveals at least eight surgical incision scars on the buttock. She is in constant pain and her life has been irreversibly changed for the worse. This is all the direct result of the overly aggressive and unconsented surgical procedures that Dr. B. performed on Ms. L." -- I didn't consent for Dr. B to touch my butt and indeed it is not listed on any of the paperwork, but the dude removed it. What Dr. B did was antithetical to what was discussed; he did this to me unconsented after he put me unconscious in his private center. Fat is an endocrine organ. Hormones are released from adipose tissue and these are responsible for different functions within the body. Estrogen is synthesized through fat cells. If you take cells away estrogen-dominant fat areas, such as breasts, thighs, and hips, you take away your bank of extra estrogen storage needed for healthy, normal function. Before I went for breast reduction, my menses occurred every twenty-eight days. I'd gone through puberty late, as per my family pattern. We have longevity in my family, look young, and have a strong constitution. We go through menopause late. I expected ten more years of menses, however the surgeon removed so much of needed fat and estrogen, he forced menopause, as is often done with hysterectomy. My menses abruptly ended. I showed Dr. Lesavoy the structural harm and told him of the systemic problems Dr. B caused. When I told him about the forced menopause, Lesavoy got angry. He dismissed what I said as if I don't know my body or understand physiology. Dr. Lesavoy does not understand biology and / or wanted to protect Dr. B. Lesavoy ended up on Dr. B's defense list. One of his former students lied in my case. This left me without needed restitution. A friend of mine was present at Dr. Lesavoy's. When we left the office, the first thing she said was how arrogant he is. We were stunned and sickened by his behavior. I later looked him up on the court site and was not surprised by the many lawsuits. I was in the health care field until Dr. B disabled. I can't imagine treating anyone with the disrespect Dr. Lesavoy did to me. Two months after seeing Dr. Lesavoy, a physical therapist at USC did a thorough exam on me and cited structural and functional damage and pain caused by what Dr. B did. He cited the lack of fat tissue, especially in the left buttock' that Dr. B removed against need, consent, or rational. The physical therapist declared me fully physically disabled from it. I looked up the 172 trainees and fellows on Malcolm Lesavoy's CV. I found desperate reviews written by women for a high percentage on the list. What happened to first do no harm? read more

I had a counsel the other day. He was most charming and honest To say I fell In love is an a under statement. You can tell he know's his stuff and has been around. Light hearted, honest and most charming. I thought I needed a lot of work. He threw me out with a smile. read more

I loved my experience with the way Dr. Lesavoy, and the results are better than I expected. I had eyelid surgery and only wish I'd had it 10 years earlier. I look completely natural, nobody has noticed except to comment that "I never age" or that I "look so rested." Dr. Lesvoy never tried to sell me additional surgeries, he was so candid about some I had wanted, that I decided not to have them after he explained the results without embellishing. He gave his cell phone number and called me to find out how I was doing post-surgery. I would give him more stars if they were available. read more

I have met Dr M.Lesavoy in 1990, for my daughter accident at the times; and from all the plastic surgeons I had seen and asked an advice, he was the only one who helped me with the most amazing approach, kindness and knowledge. Je took care of my daughter who was 23 months at the time, and today she 's 31 , married with children, the happiest girl in the world thanks to his help on her accident who left scars.. although I have visited him over the years for many reasons' have never been so happy and fulfilled with all the magic treats I can get at his office, I remain to always stay young and look that way.. I could not recommend a better Plastic surgeon and human being. I did my upper eyes lid with him 2 years ago, and he took at least 10 years of my tired look. Thank you Dr Lesavoy , you are the best dr and the kindest human being and a friend..xoxoMuriel read more

Had breast aug with doctor when he was in encino and much cheaper in price. Omg he did the most amazing job. I had no sign of any surgery on my skin and breast area. None. No one could tell even my sister couldn't believe that I had surgery. The day of surgery I went Home Depot , shopping. Vacuuming the house. As if I had not done any surgery. He did a beautiful job on my troubled sagging breasts . But years later when I went to do a lift, his price had gone so high I wish I had done the procedure before when he was in encino. . I couldn't afford this guy any more. . I ended up going to another doctor to do the lift bcuz couldn't afford dr Lesavoy any more and the new dr ruined the beautiful job dr lesovoy had done Thank you dr Lesavoy for doing such an amazing job. read more

There are no words to adequately praise Dr. Lesavoy. Before having my eyes done at 50 yrs of age, I wanted to be sure of who did the procedures. After many consults with names you'd recognize, I came to Dr. Lesavoy and I'm so happy that I did! I looked like I lost to Muhammad Ali for a few days, but... well... look at my eyes today... I've not had any additional revisions and I just turned 72! The ultimate in skill and warmth! read more

Malcolm A. Lesavoy, MD - My twenty- two year eye surgeries by Dr. Lesavoy! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Lesavoy is the ONLY plastic surgeon I would allow near me with a scalpel. :) I recently had a Lipoma removed from my back and never considered going to anyone else. His scars are non-existent. Right after the surgery, you couldn't even tell I had been cut open! I am very apprehensive about anesthesia and he did it all local. I have known him now 20 years and now that I am nearing "adulthood" LOL, I will be going back soon for a bit of "tuning" around my eyes. I know I won't leave there with "plastic surgery face". His work gives a natural youthful appearance and that is what I want. His gentle good nature is extraordinary and he makes you feel important and special. I adore him! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. LESAVOY! I thought it might be time to update my review from a few years ago and say that Dr. Lesavoy continues to impress me every time I am in need of his services (25 years so far). Thanks to Dr. Lesavoy I am aging very gracefully! And no one has ever been able to tell that I have had any 'help'. I am so grateful to have such a skilled, honest and ethical doctor and I recommend him without reservation. As far as the unfathomable negative reviews that pop up once in a while I can only suggest that perhaps a good psychiatrist might be in order... read more

I'm so very happy with the experience I had with Dr. Lesavoy. He's not only very talented, he is extremely kind. He listened to my concerns and wanted to make sure that I was happy with the results. I would highly recommend him. read more

What a disappointment! I have been to Dr. Lesavoy twice and had no problems but, I think he dropped the ball on my Brazilian butt lift. Which he should have told me that I did not have enough fat to do the fat transfer into my bottom so it was basically a butt lift with a fat transfer but no projection. His nurse Janet is fantastic and attentive and compassionate. I spent a lot of money on the surgery and it did not come out as expected. This is a very painful procedure as you cannot sit down for weeks on end. I wanted some of my money back and that was denied as only having half of the procedure and I have two huge scars underneath my buttocks. He should have known that I would not be a good candidate for this! Although they offered me a deal on my next thing if I choose to do it. Pretty embarrassing as all my friends agree with me that is pretty painful as well sad face. read more

The WORST, INCOMPETENT, AND UNETHICAL plastic surgeon in USA. After he absolutely botched up my mammoplasty and tummy tuck he refused. I wanted to go see another surgeon. Lesavoy made my breasts unequal, and deformed. My umblicus is on the right of the midline. My mons pubic area pulled up to almost 6" above pubic synthesis. Totally disasterous results by Lesavoy. Avoid disaster read more

There aren't enough positive words I could say to describe how I feel about Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, he made me feel like I was the most important patient and that anything and everything I needed was as Important to him as it was to me! He is warm, comforting, and has a great sense of humor! The office staff has been wonderful! and the "girls" look amazing and so natural at 50 years old!! So very pleased. :) read more

I had precision upper/lower eye lift surgery 5/2017 by Dr. Lesavoy that resulted in sheer PERFECTION & NATURAL BEAUTY! Dr. Lesavoy is a superior precision surgeon evidenced by this very delicate, intricate eye surgery that removed decades of aging so naturally. Friends/family are so impressed at how great I look so soon after surgery! Dr. Lesavoy's experience is why I choose him to assure the outcome is perfect! Sort of like flying in a plane, do you want the new pilot or the one with tons of experience. As a former model, Dr. Lesavoy is a sure bet! Wow, Dr. Lesavoy you hit the mark! I am so grateful to you for how my eyes are beginning to emerge! I can't wait to show them off to everyone. I can't imagine what it's like to do what you do with so much on the line. Thank you so much for your brilliant surgical mastery and hard work! In surgery I could tell it was intense & I appreciate all you do! Again, sharing I had a smooth & a non-eventful recovery - again without pain meds even though I had your prescriptions available. I still wonder about that... Plus as you know I was dealing with my tendon transfer/bi-lateral wrist fracture rehab (ice skating accident) at the same time but your timing recommendation was perfect. But it is a fact very experienced and knowledgeable surgeons ~ Dr. Lesavoy....definitely prevent unneeded trauma during surgery which probably lessens pain!! That was my experience!! Now that is a bonus you would not normally expect! But his credentials speak for themselves. Dr. Lesavoy examined my condition at 3 weeks & my lower/upper lids seem to open-close normal, skin settling softly, the feeling is coming back, the bags are gone (whoo-hoo) I couldn't stand to see my bags in photos, missed wearing cool cat eye make up & getting those complimentary Grrr looks, LOL. I experimented on some eye make up & Oooh la la! Exciting to see my new younger look and love the feedback so far too :) !! The surgery facility is so pleasant & calm as well and the staff make you feel well cared for. My recovery was also remarkable without incident, the results are incredible and the overall care would be anyones dream procedure. If I had known how great I would look after Dr. Lesavoy's surgery I would have done it long ago..... An extremely happy Dr. Lesavoy "forever grateful" patient! read more

Dr. Lesavoy wrote me a nasty letter following this review stating that it's "sad that i have nothing better to do than to write him a bad review years after the surgery" and denying that he cut my rib during surgery. this man is a joke of a surgeon and should have his license revoked. i'm clearly not the first person on his yelp page to complain about his unprofessionalism and lack of regard for his patients' wellbeing, as well as his refusal to fix his mistakes. read more

My mother (in her 60s) had some facial aesthetic surgery done by him, and she was and is very pleased. It's very natural looking, and no one would ever know that she has ever had anything done. For me, I haven't done plastic surgery myself, but if I ever mention any medical problems to him (my own or family members'), he immediately has an opinion as to what's going on and knows the appropriate clinician to refer me to, and he's usually right about what's going on. He's also a very caring guy and follows up about it. He's a Mensch. read more

It's been two years and my left ear lobe is still cut in half still deformed. What I know now- if you have a problem like mine. Go to a surgeon that fixes the ear damage get their professional opinion in writing on how to fix it. What I did wrong was assume the judge would truthfully see the damage without another physician writing a derogatory letter about Dr. Lesavoy. The other way around this is to go to a surgeon who will fix it and get the diagnosis to show the judge. read more

I had my lower eyes done a few months ago, and have been very, very happy. My friends comment on it regularly as it is totally unnoticeable. They just look good; natural. I was impressed that Dr Lesavoy was also clear with me on what he would not do! (upper lids). He was conservative, which I like in a Plastic Surgeon, as more is not better & can be very unnatural. The doctor was professional, patient and attentive. He was also detailed in his work. I happened to be with a friend who had been to the doctor for a few procedures at once. She came in with me when he saw me the next day. He told her in front of me there was a small thing he would like to improve. I was impressed, as it was not something she inquired about. It was just something he saw that he thought could be a touch better. He was humble & proactive. She did not have to ask. She looked amazing & this was the reason I went to Dr. Lesavoy. I would definitely return. I also like the way the surgery is performed with local anesthetic, in the office, in a sterile environment. To me, it is infinitely better than full anesthetic with a speedy recovery, less cost, and far fewer side affects. I feel confident if I saw something I did not like, the doctor would attend to it, and likely notice it first ! read more

Malcolm A. Lesavoy, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I am a physician and have known Dr. Lesavoy for 35 years. He is not only the best plastic surgeon I have ever met, I use him for my own family. My father-in-law suffered a bad burn. He was airlifted to a burn center and they couldn't wait to do multiple grafts. Dr. Lesavoy saw him and with conservative treatment he was healed and pain free in 1 month. I have seen the results of his work for 35 years and speaking as a successful oculoplastic surgeon, I can honestly say that NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE. His facelifts, breast procedures and eyelid surgery are nationally and internationally respected. Do yourself a favor and go to the guy who writes the textbooks and has trained plastic surgeons for 35 years. You only have one body and this is the guy you want. read more

Dr. Lesavoy is an artist! I have never been happier with my Breast Reduction procedure. He was warm, comforting, and I felt completely safe in his hands. I am so thankful for this man! read more

I have been told by my GP that I need to have a mass of scar tissue removed from the left side of my abdomen. Apparently this mass could expand and cause issues later in life. He recommended one doctor, who I went to see. He, in return, recommended I go to Dr. Lesavoy (because the first doctor was predominantly a face surgeon). I made the appointment. The day before the scheduled appointment, I called to get directions. The receptionist asked me "oh, we need to see if you can come at 11:30am instead of 12:30pm because we have a long surgery now in the afternoon?" I said I could do that. As I was driving there, I called to ask about parking and was now told "the doctor won't be able to see you today and we will need to reschedule." This was at 11:15am, 15 minutes before my appointment. They didn't call me to tell me this, as I had called them. I guess they were just going to tell me this when I arrived in the office? I asked why this was necessary, and the receptionist finally told me "the doctor did not come in today". I asked if he was sick and was told that he wasn't. I asked about the long surgery he had in the afternoon and got no response on that one. Very unprofessional, which I pointed out. The receptionist actually agreed with that when I said it! Don't waste your time. This is not a quality organization. Fortunately, I had done my paperwork with the office days before. As I always do, I added a clause to their intake paperwork. On the form stating that I had to pay a fee if I cancelled within 24 hours, I added a clause that said they had to do the same for me if they cancelled within 24 hours. The invoice has been sent. read more

How do I thank someone who has taken 20+ years of aging off my life? I can't express how amazing this doctor is ~ from my first consultation all the way thru my surgery he REALLY cared about me and all my concerns. He was soooooo personable, kind, compassionate and has a way of making you feel truly at ease (also has a great sense of humor :) ) His work was painless and the results are truly much more than I could have ever dreamed possible. I am 61 yrs. old ~ had my surgery 3 days ago and now look under 40. I had the neck lift, lower face lift and laser around my mouth. NO MORE WRINKLES!!! I am forever grateful and am recommending him to everyone!!! Thanks again Dr. Lesavoy you are the BEST read more

Dr Lesavoy is the best! He has great a heart combined with amazing knowledge of plastic surgery of all kinds. Both my wife and I had surgery done with Dr. Lesavoy and are extremely happy with the results. My wife was thrilled with her face lift. Dr Lesavoy is patient and understanding, willing to answer all your questions and has a very reassuring bedside manner. We've recommended other friends to him over time and all came away very satisfied with his work. We highly recommend him. You couldn't do better. read more

Yay! Dr. Lesavoy did it again! I Went to him to revise my previous Asian eye lid surgery from Miami that I had years ago! My old surgeon literally botched mine lids so badly that if you held up a divider on my face it looks like I look like two complete different people. This was my 4th lid revision over my right eye lid in my life and therefore I was nervous to ask Dr.Lesavoy about however, after he had done such an amazing job on my rhinoplasty and breast augmentation and showed so much patience when I had any questions or concerns I asked him to do an revision for me. The day of the surgery I wasn't nervous at all knowing I was in great hands! The day after surgery I met up with a few if my friends from out of town and explained to them that I still have stitches in my lid from the day before! However when I showed up to dinner my girls were AMAZED because not only were my lids perfectly symmetrical BUT the only way you can tell I just had surgery were if you look closely enough at the stitching. I had my stitches removed today by one of his very experienced and lovely nurses I was thrilled at the results and can't wait to see what it looks like once it's completely healed up! I'm just so truly excited because I have lived with a botched surgery now for almost 2 years and Dr.Lesavoy was able to fix it in less than 15 mins! My only regret is not asking him to fix it sooner lol. And yes I will be coming back to him for more! :)) On a side note, the Doc have never raised his voice once towards me or around me he is beyond patient and always tells me the truth about everything I ask him about! I trust him 200%, in fact I just brought my close friend in all the way from Texas to see Dr.Lesavoy and he is already planning on his surgery days! I would never refer my friends to anyone that I do not have full confidence in! Thank you Doc for being so wonderful! read more

This excellent surgeon made me feel like I was the most important patient and that anything and everything I needed was as Important to him as it was to me, in spite of the "team" at UCLA treating me as if I was nothing but a factory object that they needed to process and that I was flawed and complaining and therefore unworthy and a Problem. Pain management in a patient that is not opiate naive is something they apparently have not had instruction in as of yet. My pain was uncontrolled while hospitalized and when I was discharged 1,000 miles from home with a stay at a hotel for 3 nights and then a flight at LAX to SFO, they gave me even less pain relief than when hospitalized and therefore I was unable to get more pain meds since it was on my record as being filled days before. So humiliation and demoralization to top off the struggle to get to 2 different pharmacies since the first one said they had medication available and didn't bother to give me any of the other info. Until I had waited several minutes. Thank God for Uber drivers making me feel like a human again. read more

I have to say Dr. Lesavoy is probably one of the top cosmetic surgeons in the entire Southern California area. I recently had a face, eye and neck lift and he did a fantastic job that looks so natural. No one has commented like "Oh did you have something done", just that I looked great. He doesn't put you under with a general anesthesia, just a local. You recover and heal quicker that way without the risk of going under. I checked around before having this done since this is your face you're talking about. Even my dermatologist had heard about him and she said that he would probably be a good choice and that he had a "steady hand". It would be worth it for you to do some research and see that this man has taught many of the top plastic surgeons in Southern California including Terry Dubrow (Top Plastic Surgeon in Newport Beach that does work on his wife and other on Real Housewives of OC - and been a regular on Botched). By the way I believe Dr. Lesavoy has been on Botched - correcting major cosmetic problems from other surgeons. He is also one of the nicest, and caring people I've ever met. He insists on regular follow up visits to make sure everything is healing properly. If you're thinking of any kind of plastic surgery, I think you at least have to meet Dr. Lesavoy to get an honest opinion. He will be candid with you on what will look best for your situation. read more

Dr. Lesavoy saved both of my legs from amputation 23 years ago after I suffered 4th degree burns (bone & soft tissue) to both knee compartments. His character, innovation, and adaptability places him at the top in the medical community. What started out as a simple back of the napkin sketch, which then proceeded into research and untimely surgery, Dr. Lesavoy produced a state of the art medical procedure that utilized both my calf muscles ( Gastrocnemius) and developed bilateral muscle flaps to cover up the burned away areas of bone and soft tissue to my knees. Bedside manners & character- Dr. Lesavoy is a very caring individual and provided me with inspiration and hope which led me down a path in believing I could get through my adversity and many others I faced in life.... I highly recommend and endorse Dr. Lesavoy. read more

I had a procedure with Dr. Lesavoy a month ago because a friend had just had one with him and raved about him. I like that other doctors refer him and having worked at Johns Hopkins for 10 years when you see doctors refer doctors it is a GREAT sign. Tried and True is my motto. I found the office staff to be very amiable and professional and Dr. Lesavoy very thorough, attentive and professional and my procedure was PERFECT. His price was very competitive as well. I'm reading some of these reviews and it doesn't sound like the same place. I liked that he was very conservative and honest too. The internet is a scary place where anyone can say anything and remember that there are two sides to a story and the truth lies in between. I recommend Dr. Lesavoy. read more

I recently had corrective breast surgery after undergoing a lumpectomy for breast cancer. Dr. Lesavoy was extremely compassionate during such an emotional and scary time for me. He is a wonderful listener and took a lot of time to explain the procedure and made me feel very comfortable. After having the surgery, my results are amazing! I look very natural and you can't tell I had surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Lesavoy as he is a class act and is the best surgeon. I have recommended him to another one of my friends and she had the same wonderful result. I can't say enough about Dr Lesavoy! read more

I had skin cancer on my nose and lost a good deal of it. My expert Dermatologist recommended Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy. He took skin from my ear and shaped my nose to look better than before. Dr. Lesavoy is a master Surgeon. Other Doctors were horrified by my Cancer. I'm so happy I found a wonderful artist. Being a single man and looking for the right woman, I can honesty say because of Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, I found the most wonderful beautiful women that sees my inner and OUTER beauty. What a nice sincere person too. Very friendly and self confident not conceited. Thank you for changing my life from the disaster of Cancer to a handsome and happy man.

There aren't enough positive words I could say to describe how I feel about Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy. He is a true HERO in my life. I am a 48 year old woman that first met him when I was 25. I have a chronic gland disorder called Hidradentitis Suppurativa that made it hard for me to move my arms. It is very painful and not much can be done to help my pain except surgery. I had hit rock bottom with pain when my mother and I met Dr. Lesavoy at UCLA many years ago. He was calm, kind, and gave me the time and care I believe he would have given his own daughter. When I woke up from surgery, my mother whispered in my ear "You now have new wings to fly". Nothing more true could have been said. I was now able to lift my arms in the air and reach the sky. It was the benefit of the surgery, but even more because of this doctor!!! For over 20 years, I see my scars every single day and they remind me how far I have come. This talented, cowboy-boot wearing, wonderful doctor truly gave me my life back to live. Thank you, Dr. Lesavoy. Any patient would be lucky to have you in their life! read more

Dr. Lesavoy is truly a one of a kind surgeon to say the least. My entire abdomen had been disfigured from a horrible car accident in my teen years which required emergency exploratory surgery. As you all may know not all emergency surgeons have the craft of sewing up a patient like a perfectly fitted "red carpet" Versachi gown. It's more like big shinny staples (47 in my case.) As a result I had a pretty bad keloidal scar (about 18'' long). I was unable to wear anything figure fitting let alone a two piece bikini, due to the unevenness of my stomach, some areas were protruding while other areas were recessed. Not to mention my self confidence as a teen going into adulthood was slim to none. Dr. Lesavoy turned my life right side-up again and for that I am eternally grateful. Not only did he virtually reconstruct my abdomen back to its teenage days with perfect smoothness and toned muscles (as if I've been doing crunches my whole life); he also made a new belly button (he gave me an innie) and reduced my scar down to a fine pencil line. In the end, Dr. Lesavoy's work also reconstructed my self-image and confidence as a young woman. There isn't a little black dress I can't buy or a teeny weenie bikini I'm afraid to strut on the beach. I can't quite put into words to describe Dr. Lesavoy's way with words or subtleties in his soft touch, but I can say that even after 5 minutes of getting to know Dr. Lesavoy that in my case, he became like the big brother or favorite uncle I never had. As I have learned from my own tragic accident, vanity is the first to go, but the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way forever. The answer is Dr. Lesavoy. read more

Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy did my eyelids & breasts. Both surgeries went smoothly & successfully!! My results look & feel perfectly natural, as expected, & I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He is gentle, caring, warm & has a bedside manner & etiquette that is rarely seen in today's medical environments. He personally even called me at home after my surgeries to check on me! His office & friendly staff always make me feel comfortable & all my questions get answered gently & professionally. I have seen him off & on for 15 years & have nothing negative to share. read more

Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy saved me from a life of disfigurement. After battling breast cancer in my 30's and bilateral mastectomies, Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy reconstructed my breasts and literally created the most beautiful perfect breasts. Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy invented and perfected a special state of the art technique where he is able to also give a breast cancer patient nipples with skin from your own new breast. The incredible aspect of Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy's technique/invention is there is no chance of the procedure failing since, you are using the tissue and blood supply from your new breast skin.
