I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Gregory Park and my experience with him. He performed my…read morebreast explant surgery without capsulectomy, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. I had no drains and virtually no pain. Honestly, the hardest part of recovery was reminding myself that I had just had surgery because I felt so good afterward, I had to consciously slow myself down and take it easy. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Park's skill and technique. I am now two weeks post-op and I am beyond happy with my results. My breasts look almost better than what I started with. Even with the steri-strips still on, my incision is clearly healing beautifully. I've had no swelling, no bruising, and my recovery has been incredibly smooth. Dr. Park is truly gifted, and I felt confident and well cared for every step of the way. If you're considering explant surgery and want a surgeon who prioritizes precision, comfort, and outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Park.

He is if I can say so politely, probably one of the better surgeons I have met along my journey and I can tell you I have met with well over 25 surgeons some of those I've even had surgery with in the past. Let me be clear thus this was not the process here This was my very first time meeting with Dr D'Souza and I'm so very glad I did run into him. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you are on the fence or if you are looking for someone who is like I said transparent wants the best for you. truly Treat you like family not only him but his staff I mean I have yet to find an office that is this loyal to their patient doctor will give you his phone number for goodness sake you can call him at 2:00 in the morning if you have a question and he would absolutely take no offense and be glad that you called him and he just has so much charisma He's an absolute artist and like I said I just couldn't ask for better, my family is extremely happy and couldn't be more grateful with his work ethic And the time he took so much to answer everyone of our questions and we had a lot! We even had a second meeting with him just to go over more questions and he never once complained once and genuinely was happy to do so. My husband thinks the world of him and 6 months out from surgery he is still talking about the doctor and how wonderful he is! If I could give back even just the smallest piece of what Dr. D'souza has given me to me in my life and my self esteem and some of my dignity back that I didn't have for far, far tong ling q- back in my life I tenfold I just don't think there's enough money or gifts that come from the heart and the soul the My life back filled my heart and soul my dignity basically he's giving me a lot of my life back! i highly highly suggest you see him listen, He's young so up on the latest and greatest but very nice & up to date on all the older school techniques. he's just a fabulous fabulous Doctor.

Imagine you are considering placing your trust in a highly skilled plastic surgeon, prepared to…read moremake a significant emotional and financial investment, only to have that surgeon tell you that honestly, you don't need the procedure you came in for! And then, he recommends a better, more appropriate, solution that saves you a considerable amount of money. That was my experience with Dr. Gehaan D'Souza of Iconic Plastic Surgery, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person and physician he is. Dr. D'Souza is an exceptional surgeon with something that is unfortunately rare: true integrity. He is thoughtful, ethical, compassionate, and clearly guided by what is best for his patients; rather, than what benefits him financially. His honesty, and professionalism immediately set him apart. Most important, the results exceeded my expectations. His skill, precision, and attention to detail are remarkable. Throughout the entire process, the continued care and follow-up have been outstanding. The wellness checks are genuine, reassuring, informative, and thoughtful -- you are truly cared for, not just treated. With Dr. D'Souza, you can be confident knowing you are in the hands of a highly talented surgeon who understands the goal is to enhance your natural beauty, never to make you look "overdone." Dr. D'Souza's knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming staff add so much to the experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable, respected, and at ease. There is a warmth in the office that makes every visit feel personal. Although Dr. D'Souza's lovely wife, Sabrina is not an employee, she contributed to the energy of the office atmosphere. Meeting her gives insights into the warmth, kindness, and positive energy that surrounds him. Her creativity and playful touches throughout the office created a warm, and uplifting space. I highly recommend Dr. D'Souza. His exceptional talent, honesty, compassion, and dedication make him the kind of surgeon you hope to find when making such an important decision.

My review is not based on my experience with Dr. Yoo (I never met him) but based on what I believe…read moreis a lack of transparency with consultation practices and office protocols that personally made me feel uncomfortable. Be advised there is $300 consult fee to see Dr. Yoo that they do not disclose during the initial call. This is where I felt misled. The front desk told me I needed to text pictures of myself to a cell phone number and then I was directed to make an appointment with a patient coordinator a week later who is not the nurse or doctor. It was only during that call with a young girl -- after sending personal photos and diving into concerns I was experiencing that I was informed of the consult fee. It was a turn off and I think it's not reasonable for privacy reasons to ask anyone to send personal photos to a phone number without really being forth coming on the fact that there will be a $300 fee for the doctor to see them and to see you. There are may many brilliant plastic surgeons and consultants and attorneys who do not require you pay upfront to meet them. Much like taking care of a legal issue or searching for a financial advisor or an estate planner -- we should have the opportunity to meet a doctor without strings attached. This may not concern you, but this was just my experience. I wish there had been transparency and honest communication immediately about a $300 consultation fee before I sent photos and sensitive information.

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.
