    Mini chin tuck, this is after 6 days..I am so happy with results!!

    I can't recommend this enough! Invest in yourself, it feels great, I honestly wish plastic surgery didn't have a stigma, it is no different than getting braces etc.. Dr Sofonio really made a difference for me!

    I am new to the area and was referred to Dr. Mark Sofonio by my sister who did a ton of research on plastic surgeons. I went with her for a consultation and immediately I felt very confident in his ability to do amazing work. He and his staff are so nice and treat you like you are the only client. He takes his time and doesn't try to over sell you on things you don't want or need. I then made an appointment for him to do an under eye tuck (to get rid of icky under eye skin) LOVE the results. So easy. He also fixed a scar I had in my eyebrow and did a revision to my chin. :) It was a great experience and I am completely satisfied. I highly recommend this doctor. Btw- my friend had a full on facelift and neck lift. The results were also amazing. Look no further. This doctor is the real deal. Kudos to John too. He did my botox and did a fantastic job. Thank you!

    Beware of this surgeon. My mom's body was destroyed. Surgeon's excuse was patient did not loose enough weight (10lb, lost 5lb) and had not enough skin to pull. After a few days after procedure she developed necrosis.

    AMAZING SURGEON!!! This was my 2nd time going to this amazing man. Dr. Sofonio did my breast augmentation 14 yrs ago after 5 children with bringing them back to fullness and perfection. Well after having my 6th baby at 40 and having gastric sleeve surgery and now I'm 49, I went back to have my implants replaced to become fuller again and 5 areas of Lipo. He is a perfectionist and explains everything to you. I'm in love with my breasts and my hourglass figure again. He is very professional and spot on with knowledge of what he thinks as a professional plastic surgeon on what you should do. He is an excellent surgeon and everyone in his staff is amazing. I will never go to anyone else for my procedures. He is the absolute best. Remember you get what you pay for. Dr. Sofonio and staff is the best.

    If I could give Dr. Driessen and her team more than 5 stars I would. I learned about her via word…read moreof mouth from a local moms group I'm in. I heard she truly cares about her patients and was extremely kind and empathetic, and that her work is exceptional- and that was 100% true. As soon as I came in for my consultation I knew she was the surgeon for me, she was extremely thorough and spent over an hour and a half just answering my questions. At pre-op Dr. Driessen again spent HOURS answering my questions, reviewing the procedures with me, all the while being kind, patient, and understanding with me. Day of surgery her team were amazing. The nursing staff were so reassuring and sweet. I'm on day 3 post op today and got to come in and see the results and CRIED. I could not believe how amazing my results are! Dr. Driessen and her entire staff are extremely skilled, kind, perfectionists. I will refer her to every one, and I wouldn't consider going to anyone else in the future. These procedures literally changed my life and I am eternally grateful for the care I received.

    -- For the Anxious Girlies…read more I'm scheduled for my procedure tomorrow, but I felt compelled to share my experience with the initial process because it has been nothing short of exceptional thanks to MaKael, the surgical coordinator, and Aja, the pre-op assistant. I've wanted this surgery all my life, ignoring the upper half of my body in all aspects, but I'm scared of change. Even if I'm not content with something, the unknown is very scary for me. From the very beginning, MaKael has been my rock. She is incredibly informative and never once made me feel rushed or judged. I tend to overthink and stress myself out with endless Google searches, but she calmed me a million times over. She was quick to respond (even calling me on her day off when I was anxious) and always gave me clear, honest answers without fluff. She has a way of articulating exactly what I was thinking and truly held my hand through the process, both figuratively and literally. I came in 3-4 times for sizing because I just couldn't make a decision, and she never once lost patience. She took all the time I needed and made me feel completely at ease. Honestly, she is the reason this process has been so easy and reassuring. Aja, the pre-op assistant, has also been wonderful. She called me multiple times before surgery to go over the process, and when we met in person, she was just as lovely, warm, and reassuring. The instructions she gave me to prepare for surgery were so simple, clear, and easy to follow that I felt confident and ready instead of overwhelmed. I also appreciate that I was able to meet with the doctor multiple times before surgery. He was consistently honest, confident, and realistic with my expectations. What I love most is that I still get to sit down with him one final time before surgery to discuss sizing and details again. Nothing has ever felt rushed. I'm admittedly the classic indecisive patient, not about having surgery itself, but about what would best fit my frame, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable with every decision. On top of that, I normally go to a med spa in Orange County for my Botox and fillers, and when I mentioned I was considering this surgeon, they immediately knew of him and reassured me that I was making a great choice. That outside validation gave me even more confidence moving forward. If you are even considering a procedure, even if you aren't sure, I can't recommend this team enough. Having people like MaKael supporting you makes all the difference. She has turned what could have been a stressful, intimidating journey into one where I feel cared for, understood, and completely confident. I will update this review with my recovery and results in a few weeks, and again in a few months once everything has settled. But for now, I can honestly say I couldn't be happier with the process leading up to tomorrow. I'm so grateful to this team for making such a big decision feel safe and supported.

    I didn't want to write this review, but I've been given unfortunate circumstances…read more I originally got something done here which was excellent. My next visit not so much. I can hear for a little filler for my birthday, I just wanted to look a little lifted. I received an appointment with a nurse who was clearly very busy, no shade. I had originally intended to spend $600 on myself, it was specifically set aside as I keep a very tight budgeting for my expenses. (much like anyone else, I have responsibilities). During my appointment my nurse evaluated what I wanted and then proceeded to inject, blowing past my inquiry in regard to what I would be charged. I was charged $1200, and unfortunately I had spoken to someone over the phone later who emphasized with my problem, offered me a skincare treatment, and then never got back to me. I'm disappointed that this office that I very much enjoyed and appreciated didn't handle this in a more honest, and professional manner.
