Breast implant remained high and pulling. Dr. Mofid refused to acknowledge. Has now worsened over time since left unaddressed

BEWARE!! REGRET USING THIS DOCTOR. TOTAL NIGHTMARE!! I put off writing this review in hopes that Dr. Mofid would address my concerns. I originally had a breast augmentation with him, I did my research and felt confident moving forward seeing that he had good reviews overall. BELIEVE THE FEW BAD REVIEWS. I noticed initially something was off with my left breast but repeatedly he reassured me "everything is fine, looks good" his words exactly. My left breast is compressed, flat and tight against my chest, rides high and because it's not positioned properly my right breast is descending more. It's uncomfortable & feels tight, it's also very obvious looking at it. He continued to tell me I'm healing normal so naturally I trusted his judgement and waited. I made several follow up appointments where he continued to reassure me that things were fine. I even sought a 2nd opinion where the doctor validated my concerns, suggested a possible solution to address it. After this, I went back to Dr. Mofid as one final attempt to get some answers. After all, I spent an enormous amount of money on this and it's my body I deserve to know what's going on with MY body. I followed up once again and he agreed to do an MRI and used the diagnostics code for capsular contracture even though he ruled this out during a physical exam. The MRI came back remarkable & didn't report any problems. I was scheduled to come in for a follow up and he said everything is fine, chose to not question or further investigate my concerns or remotely give me an suggestions on what could be going on and how to fix it. At this point I have searched online and also have gotten a second opinion so I was hoping I could address it with the surgeon who originally operated on me. I was hoping Dr. Mofid's extensive experience would ensure he had the ability to identify and propose a solution when a complication arises. INSTEAD I WAS GASLIT, CONTINUOUSLY DISMISSED. I even stopped pursuing answers and reaching out because the situation became so overwhelming. What once was a huge goal and award to myself for graduating became a total nightmare experience. He's a very nice doctor something happens that threatens his ego. I'm an understanding person and realize we're all human and things happen it's the chance you take with any surgery. For a doctor to dismiss serious concerns is DANGEROUS. The more time that has gone on without this being properly addressed the worse it's gotten & it's an expensive fix. What could've been a simple complication has now developed into worsening chronic complications as it's left unaddressed. It's completely ruined my confidence and has created enormous amount of financial strain and stress in my life. The nurses have been supportive from the start but as for Dr. Mofid he refuses to acknowledge that there's anything that can be improved and says nothing is wrong when you can visually see there is. I'm devastated. I've exhausted all of my energy, all of my funds on this surgery and trying to seek answers as to what is going on and how to fix it. He was quick to take my money and even quicker to dismiss my concerns. At the end of the day, he is a human and complications do happen, but I would've appreciated for him to further investigate what was going on and help come up with the solution considering he was the one that went to medical school with extensive knowledge. I believe because it threatened his ego, and doesn't represent the majority of operations he performs it was easier for him to brush it off rather than address it after all. He already got paid... I'm the one that has to live with the complications and now I'm left on my own to figure wrong with MY BODY and how to fix it. It's unbelievable to me that a 5 star La Jolla surgeon with and much experience as him can't see that my boobs are crooked, the breast never dropped properly and they don't sit right. It's not only an appearance issue the right one feels fine. The left one does not feel right. Clearly something more is going on, but Dr. Mofid doesn't make mistakes apparently he's perfect. CONSIDER THE FEW BAD REVIEWS AND BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST WITH YOUR BODY. A HARD AND VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON TO LEARN, The last thing I want to do is post photos of myself on the internet but if this saves someone from experiencing similar issues then so be it. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED :( & sickened that a doctor I trusted let his ego come in the way of my well being, health and safety. PLEASE DO BETTER. (Thank you to the nurses and office team who've been supportive throughout this process. I now have to find a qualified doctor revision surgeon to fix what Dr. Mofid chose to ignore and let worsen. DO BETTER DR. MOFID.

Might not be that good looking but it's still there thanks to  doctor Mark Mofid

It's been 26 months since my accident and I still thank God everyday for the miracles Mark.Mofid and his staff worked in my life I almost lost my leg in a motorcycle accident because of him I can walk I've made a full recovery and very thankful to him and staff and everything they did for me

Final post-op visit!

Dr. Mofid has changed my LIFE! I have not walked out of the house without a bra on since my freshman year of high school, but felt bold enough to today, at my last appointment. My neck, back, and shoulder pain (that I've suffered from for YEARS) has almost fully disappeared. I feel like I can breathe again. Working out isn't a chore anymore. I feel sexy again instead of dumpy and frumpy. His entire team delivers superior customer service and care, every call, every visit. I cannot sing their praises enough. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart! (36G to 36D)

Before and after with Dr. Mofid.

Thought, from the commercial it would be an easy process with little downtime....long story short they convinced me to do a mommy makeover. The day of surgery I stayed in a hotel over night near there as I had follow up the next day. My bed looked like a crime scene I bled out so much. Within a week, I had an infection so bad the doctor told me to put a Kotex with bleach in the incision, which was the worst pain ever. He then had me start going to his Culver Ciry office, since it was closer to me and it was dirty and gross. Thankfully it was just for follow up. In 2023, I noticed leaking from my belly button on occasion but so minimal I didn't think too much about it. It would happen in rare occasions. Now fast forward to 2025, my belly button started really leaking and it smelled horrible. Went to my doctors, had to go through ultrasounds, ct scans, blood work....nothing. My belly would swell on occasion as big as someone who was 7 mi the pregnant. Finally they had me just walk in while leaking and swabbed it. It was an infection. They recommended seeing a plastic surgeon since they deduced it may have been from my plastic surgery. I called Sono Bello in San Diego thinking they would be able to at least see me. They had no record of my surgery and wouldn't help me at all. I finally went to a plastic surgeon I was familiar with in Claremont. Here we are in 2026 and I just had surgery yesterday to remove infected sutures in my belly button. The infection had gotten so bad the hole in my belly button was the size of an eraser head. Sono Bello was nice as could be when taking my money but the fact they had no record of my surgery or refused to even try to help was appalling. Do NOT fall for the scam, you get what you pay for and investing in your body and health is worth more.

Recovery was speedy and non eventful. The most surprising moment was on the morning of day 2-3 postop (when swelling receded), I discovered my two large sparkling eyes! I was so delighted and thankful that you proposed the eyelid surgery. It does make a great impact on my facial expressions. In addition, liposuction on the lower eye and the neck erased many years of biological aging. During postop care, you were very attentive, meticulously removing sutures progressively. I now realized facial surgery is a very demanding procedure, in terms of precision, delicacy of dissection and stitching, and exceptional experience to judgment on how much skin to remove according to a person's skin quality. In addition, there is the demand of symmetry and balance. These can only be achieved through a combination of sophisticated skills, enormous experiences, and a natural talent of aesthetic judgment. I truly admire plastic surgeons. As a person, you are warm, kind, and sincere, with a calm and down to earth demeanor. I enjoyed our conversations very much. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and be a patient of yours. I choose my plastic surgeon well. I highly recommend Dr. Edelson to be your surgeon too.

I was going to wait to write this review, however I am very pleased with my first two visits and will continue to update this review as the story unfolds. This office uses state of the art lasers to remove the incapsulated tattoo. Having several tattoos I will be visiting quite a few times spaced out which gives time to heal at each stage. Highly recommend this office for your skincare and tattoo removal needs.

I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

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.
