Dr. Hagstrom did my breast augmentation in 2015 or 16. He did an amazing job and they still look pretty darn good at 59yrs old. Im hoping to reconnect with him sometime in the new year read more

I want to thank the doctor though I've never met him for answering questions regarding a certain situation regarding implants in my derriere. I was hoping to get a hold of him because he mentioned something that implants don't move if they're inner muscular so if the implants are not moving is it possible for the muscle to be sagging and that's why they feel like they're moving? Will they sit down each day I wonder where all set and where my implants will be :-) I hope he answers me but he's only person that's actually answered my question can I truly appreciate it. read more

This doctor canceled all of my follow up appointments even though I was very unhappy with my results. Overpaid to have a terrible experience. Would definitely not recommend. read more

I did a ton of research about doctors who do BBL "Brazilian Butt Lift", Dr. Hagstrom was the perfect choice for me. He is extremely professional and the best for this type of work. My only regret is I waited as long as I did. I actually wish I could give him six stars. Dr. Hagstrom and his staff went above all my expectations. I did a lot of research and went to local doctors to get several face-to-face consultations and different opinions. Dr. hagstrom was the best Plastic Surgeon hands down. I can understand why so many patients come from far away before their liposuction and Brazilians. Dr. Hagstrom was by far the most honest plastic surgeon about expected results. I travel pretty far to have Dr. Hagstrom do my Brazilian Butt Lift and I have no regrets at all. I was a little concerned He would not find enough fat to be worth it. He exceeded my expectations and managed to find over 2000 mL of fat to use! It looks a little over treated at first just like it should. Now it's three months the results are perfect. I could not be more pleased. I would recommend Dr. Hagstrom to anyone looking to have lipo or any fat transfer procedure like my Brazilian Butt Lift. read more

Believe the hype, dear Yelpers! I'm thrilled to be the first Elite member to post a review. I like getting a little shot o'Botox between my eyebrows as a service to my students. Without it, my fierce German scowl can be scary. Dealing with a plastic surgeon's office can be intimidating because I always think it's reserved for Real Housewives types. But, from my first call with Darren all the way through to getting the shots with Dr. Hagstrom, it was a relaxing and pleasant experience. After filling out paperwork, I met with the delightfully dapper Mike, the office manager. I loved that he didn't try to sell me on lotions and lasers. It was just a nice review of medical history. This was my 5th time getting the shots and it was by far the least painful. He put something cold on each site after administering the injection, which took the sting away and minimized redness. If I was rich or vain, I would trust Dr. Hagstrom to overall my entire package. For now, I'll stick to eyebrows. read more

Botoxed His Way Into My Heart I absolutely adore Dr. Hagstrom and his staff. What began with a Groupon developed into a loyal partnership. You have to love a doctor who looks at you, says you're beautiful and that you don't need any work. Well, I have this line, just one, running through the middle of my forehead and it annoys the hell out of me, because other than that, I think I look pretty good for a woman of...a...certain...age. I first met with Michael to take care of paperwork and the initial consultation. HE IS AN AMAZING ARTIST! Ask him to show you his drawings - he is incredible! And yes, charming, handsome, funny, intelligent, professional, the whole package. When we finished up, he took me in to meet Dr. Hagstrom. Let me tell you, Mats Hagstrom should teach bedside manner classes to other doctors. He takes genuine interest in his patients, asking about their lifestyles, goals, beauty routines and preferences. He won't upsell ANYTHING except good health and wellness. It's amazing that a master plastic surgeon is so focused on inner beauty. I'd say, "I'm thinking about getting *this* or *that* done..." and he'd reply with "Why? You don't need it." I won't even begin to tell you how hilarious he is - you'll figure out in the first 5 minutes that this is a guy you want in your beer circle. So on to the procedure. Botox, 20 units. Why just 20? Because, according to Dr. Hagstrom, human expression is the most beautiful thing on earth, and frozen faces rob us of that. He creatively spaced out the injections to emphasize treatment on that stupid line I mentioned earlier, and a week later, voila, gone. And I still had movement in my eyebrows. I. Freaking. Love. This. Guy. So much so that I now pay full price for services. Half off with a Groupon was great, but finding Dr. Hagstrom (and Michael!) was invaluable. 5 stars for expertise, professionalism, ambiance, and value. read more

Dr. Hagstrom is so wonderful he inspired me to write my first Yelp. I got liposuction on my waist and arms and would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help. More importantly - I would recommend him to everyone!! He is kind, smart and good at what he does. I was awake the entire time and went to work on Monday after the Friday procedure. It has been two months now and a feel and look great! So worth it. I trust him completely. read more

If you are looking for a lovely and personal experience with a competent, down-to-earth, highly-skilled physician look no further. I purchased a Botox package on Groupon and had never been to Dr. Hagstrom before; however, I had received Botox injections many times from other physicians in the bay area/SF. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. From the friendly office staff to Dr. Hagstrom's painfree injections, I have zero complaints. He did not attempt to up-sell me either. He was honest and gentle. The proof was in the pudding....my results were PERFECT! I had no side-effects other than natural looking Botox results. He even gave my eyebrows a little lift with the Botox which I loved. I am planning on going back to see Dr. Hagstrom from here on out. He and his office staff were amazing and professional. read more

Best Botox experience ever!! I have received Botox injections about a half a dozen times. Little did I know that I was getting it in the wrong places. Dr. Hagstrom is 100% professional and totally knows what he is doing. He explained to me how the muscles in my face work and how placing Botox in the right areas could give me a mini eye lift. It really worked and I look great. Many people have commented how I look like I am well rested and "refreshed." Which is what you want. A subtle change that does not look like you have had any "work" done. The people in the office are really nice and super friendly too. No snobby office people here! I even recommended a friend who got their Groupon. They will be seeing me again in 6 months! read more

First and foremost, I have to apologize to Dr. Hagstrom for taking so long to write a review. I went to Dr. Hagstrom for reconstructive breast surgery/enhancement and liposuction of my knees and flanks in August 2015. Dr. Hagstrom is an incredibly skilled surgeon, extremely professional and easy to discuss my concerns with during every consultation. I did extensive research on various surgeons in the the Bay Area and consulted with a few of the best before I made my final decision to go with Dr. Hagstrom. He exceeded my expectations and I could not be more grateful and lucky to have found such an incredible doctor. My breast augmentation was almost impossible to remove the rippling, evenness and increase the size due to problems that occurred before I found Dr. Hagstrom. He did just that and 10x more! He made me feel like I was a priority from the consultion to post op recovery, and I would recommend him to anyone. He is one of the best and a great person all around. Thank you Doctor for changing my life, I feel whole again! read more

I found Dr Hagström to be very professional and honest. He took the time to consult and advice when so many others don't. Highly recommend him. read more

Dr Hagstrom performed my full abdominal liposuction approximately 3 months ago. I am already amazed at the results. The entire experience was amazing....from consultation through recovery. He is an extremely caring and professional surgeon. Throughout the surgery, he made sure that I was comfortable. I experienced no discomfort at all. We basically chatted the entire time. My recovery was a breeze! I can honestly say that my results are much better than I expected...and I am only 3 months out! I actually have a waist now.... I would highly recommend Dr. Hagstrom and will be trusting him with my care in the future read more

I truly have no words to express the FABULOUS experience I had at Doctor Hagstrom's office yesterday! Dr. Hagstom and his staff exude pristine outstanding knowledge in their field! They truly are experts and they make your experience totally utterly personalized! If I would be asked to describe my experience in one word; it would be: FANTASTIC! ;-) Muchisimas Gracias! R. Arce read more

This Dr. is super cool. You never feel rushed and he takes the time to explain everything. I also appreciate that he doesn't try to upsell you with additional products or treatments. The prices are reasonable and I never leave with bruises. Thanks Doc! I look 10 years younger. read more

Dr Hagstrom is an amazingly talented surgeon. He has a wonderful bed side manner and instantly makes you feel at ease. His approach is straight forward and honest. He is very personable and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to make some body changes. This man is definitely a master at his craft. He didn't just change my body..he changed my life. Thank you Dr Hagstrom...you are simply the best.. read more

Full disclosure that I only use yelp to search for businesses of interest and rarely leave reviews, but I honestly feel personally determined to rave about Dr. Hagstrom, his staff, and his skills as a board certified plastic surgeon. Honestly, I feel like I've found a hidden gem. He's a hidden gem because he's so good at what he does that even in THIS day and age, he doesn't need to over-advertise himself on social media or TV like so many other surgeons do. He doesn't need to prove himself to gain patients in that way because he's already so popular by just word-of-mouth. He specializes in doing just lipo and has been only doing lipo cases for nearly 20 years, and it really shows in the results he gave me. I truly appreciate him for his artistry in contouring/sculpting my body into a feminine figure (I had NO curves and a ton of fat prior to the procedure), all in a very natural way. He's changed my body shape/fat distribution for the better and I am able to rock so many more articles of clothing that I steered clear from prior to the procedure. I finally have a figure that I feel proud to flaunt. I wear tight jeans now. I wear bikinis now. And it's all because of this man!!! On top of being so attentive, precise and skilled as a surgeon, Dr. Hagstrom and his staff are all SO humble and nice. I kid you not that when I saw him for a consult, he spent almost 30 additional minutes AFTER my consultation talking to MY MOM, who did NOT have an appointment, answering her cosmetic questions. He does not rush any of your questions and really takes the time to address all your concerns, and even makes jokes with you in between. He respects his patients and it shows. His staff is also SUPER nice and accommodating, always checking in with you and updating you about the status of your appointment with the doctor. Basically, you don't feel intimidated at Dr. Hagstrom's clinic. Because cosmetic surgery is elective, it's easy to feel "out of place" but they really don't make you feel that way at all. Comfort is clearly their priority. I really won't go anywhere else. He's basically done almost 75% of my body!!! That's how much I trust him and his work. read more

If I could give him six stars I would! I just recently had eight procedures (cosmetic) done by him at St. Francis Hospital in SF. Because I was getting so much work done, he threw in a $5000.00 procedure for free! I first went to him for Botox; he does Botox better than anyone else I've ever gone to. He believes that human expression is a beautiful thing so that you leave his office (or the operating room:) as a BETTER version of yourself; you don't look like you've had work done. His bed-side manner is amazing...he addressed my fears and concerns and is compassionate. This is the guy to go to:) read more

This was my experience at Dr. Hagstrom's office... First of all his picture on his website isn't up to date. He's considerably older. His receptionist and right-hand man are both charmers...and handle the PR for the doctor by being so friendly and sweet. Originally I wanted to make my appointment with the dermatologist who works there but Mike talked me out of it, saying that Dr. Hagstrom was a plastic surgeon and could easily take care of my little problem. For many years now I've had a hard pea-sized cyst in that area between the upper lip and the nose. It hurts and I wanted it removed. It was on my bucket list and I knew I'd feel better having it removed. I told them right up front that I had Medi-Care ONLY. I met with the doctor and his concern was the area and that the minor surgery would leave a scar. True, I already knew this but I felt his plastic surgery skills wouldn't leave an ugly scar but one resulting by a skilled surgeon. He kind of left me hanging. Then his right-hand guy (Mike) sat us down and talked to me and my daughter for almost an hour. When we left I thought they'd call me to set up the appointment. It's been months and no one called. Since then I've left two messages. Still no call backs. How thoroughly disappointing. I hope he didn't charge MediCare for that waste of time consultation. If so I'll argue that point to get a refund for them. read more

I have had Botox from about four different doctors before I found Dr. Hagstrom. He was the first to really take the time to talk to me about what I wanted from my treatment. He looked carefully at my skin and talked me through the process about which injections would create which results. Very cool. He did several injections from the bridge of my nose up around my eyebrows to my now barely noticeable crow's feet. He gave me a bright, rested and natural look! I initially went in to Dr. Hagstrom with a Groupon in Dec 2013 (the first time I bought a Groupon for botox, btw)! He is my one and only. The last treatment for some reason didn't last as long and so I called to talk to Michael, his very awesome and knowledgeable office manager, about it. He got me in and Dr. Hagstrom was happy to retouch my treatment and sincerely said "he appreciates when people tell him what they need so that he can be a better doctor." Rad! I will always go to Dr. Hagstrom. He and his staff are genuinely caring, very knowledgeable and professional. read more

It has been almost half a year since I wrote a review or even felt compelled to but the buck stops here. I confess that I'm a botox floater, meaning I tend to float from different locations for my botox, especially with Groupon being my navigator. This practice location is the best, hands down. I will continue to go here because the staff was friendly and professional, the office is a proper doctor's office but with great design and comfort factor, and Michael and Dr. Hagstrom were personable yet professional. My experience here was awesome, Michael walked me through what I was interested in and without being pushy. The administration of the botox was easy and they were conservative but at the same time receptive to what I would be comfortable with. The results were fabulous, I did't leave looking llike I got stung by a swarm of bees which I'm accustomed to and Dr. Hagstrom administered it with great care and precision. I am so impressed with the results and love the entire staff and practice that I will continue coming here. read more

Dr. Hagstorm was fantastic, I have no problem with giving him a five 5 star rating in overall experience from begining to the present time. Dr. Hagstrom is an amazing Plastic Surgeon! Even my first phone call for consultation was comforting. I feel that he made me feel very special. I like the hands on experience. Because I was a nervous wreck. And for that I feel and look great. I had no idea Liposuction with a Brazilian could so much for how I feel about myself. Lol can't stop looking in every mirror I pass. So Elated, No words can express my joy. read more

I got a gift of Botox for my mom, but she couldn't make it. I had to make the appointment instead. I was so nervous about it. I'm 30 years old now...I guess it may be time to check out some other options. The hundreds and hundreds of $ spent on gourmet face creams...I just don't know if they're really cuttin' it. Anyways, I have been with my mom to other Botox appointments with other Doctors... and it scared me how aggressive an abrasive the MDs have been. Leaving lots of marks and swelling. So that is why I was nervous. FIrst and foremost...the staff is extremely friendly. They are accommodating and just very nice people. They explained everything to me in detail and listened to my concerns. Michael, he is a nurse, was so friendly and personable. He told me what and where I should do the Botox. Very informative and knowledgeable. Then, I meet the man...Dr. Hagstrom. He is so personable and friendly as well. He took time with me instead of getting me 'in and out'. The way he injected the Botox was very precise and clean. I was able to leave the office with no swelling or any marks. I even had an interview to do right after! I didn't have to cancel... My skin hasn't looked smoother and better in so long. I actually feel better! Thank you! I think I'm hooked and I will be back for sure. read more

Dr. Hasgstrom and his staff are my favorite! I love his personality and his work. He is very patient, listens to my concerns and takes the time to answer all my questions. My visits have all been excellent experiences. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Best experience I've ever had. No one has ever taken the time during the consult like Dr Hagstrom. He was extremely caring and seemed quite dedicated to giving me the best individual treatment possible. I came in with a groupon and left as a loyal client. read more

Thank you so much Doctor for your advice on realself.com. It is not every day that a busy Doctor takes the time out to help someone who isn't even his patient yet! Makes me want to fly up to San Francisco to get my work done. read more

I wanted to take the time to recommend Dr. Hagstrom. Although I came in through Groupon, Dr. Hagstrom spent time getting to know me and my goals. Unlike other Botox-promotions with group savings Dr. Hagstrom is one of those doctors who prioritizes pleasing his patients because he is everything a professional should be. He did an amazing job. I hope to revise this later to express my appreciation. I can say that the whole experience from start to finish could not have been better. From receptionist. to Michael his assistant, to Dr. Hagstrom I was treated like a friend, and given 100 per cent of their skill and commitment. read more

Great work! Thank you! Botox placement was right on point and zero pain. I will use my Brilliant Distinctions points for my next visit.

I got a Groupon for Dr. Hagstrom earlier this year and was so impressed by the office, the staff and the doctor that I will never go anywhere else for treatment. From my initial phone call to my pre-session interview with Michael, to my prompt treatment with the doctor, every aspect of this office is warm and professional. I don't feel pressured to 'go for more' or induced to buy other products as I have with other doctors, just prompt, friendly service. If/when I need more drastic surgery I will definitely consult with Dr. Hagstrom before making any decision. read more

Dr Hagström is hands down the BEST plastic surgeon out there. I drove 2 hours to see him....totally worth it!!!! Due to my genetics, I've always had problem areas that I simply could not get rid of. I was referred to Dr Hagström by a friend and I have absolutely no regrets. At first, I was a little nervous as I didn't know what to expect, but he eased my nerves and made it a smooth procedure. He made sure I was comfortable and and completely numb. He is a very sweet man and really cares about his patients. I am very happy with my results and have never felt better!! Totally a self confidence booster!!! Go see Dr. Hagström, you will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent Botox experience that I've ever had and I've had dozens. There was absolutely no pain which was a concern of mine as I have a very low threshold for pain. He spent a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and his background in medicine. I did not feel rushed at all. He and his staff (Michael is charming) are the utmost in professionalism. It is definitely worth the trip to SF from the Peninsula for a treatment from him. I STRONGLY recommend his office. read more

If you don't go to Dr. Hagstrom, you are making a mistake. He's pleasant and funny but super professional. He explains everything in a way that is easily understandable. Around him and in his office he has great people. Dr. Hagstrom is an expert at Plastic surgery, Dr. Arguelles, on the dermatology side is also an expert in her field. If you want or need plastic surgery or a dermatologist, this is the place. Dr. Hagstrom's assistant, Michael, is meticulous, but friendly and fantastic fun to talk with. Sometimes it was hard to "lay perfectly still", because I was so calm and comfortable that I was laughing at their stories and banter, meanwhile the procedure was pain free and perfectly performed. I give it my highest recommendation. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hagstrom and his staff!!! Even before I had booked an appointment, his coordinator of new patients spent half an hour on the phone with me going through the procedure, answering any questions and allaying all concerns. When I arrived at the office, the staff was amazingly friendly and everything was on time. Bedside manner is NOT a thing of the past with Dr. Hagstrom, as he was talking me through the procedure as we went, asking to make sure I was still doing ok - which I was. Today, I had to catch a flight from the office, and the staff reorganized their day to make sure I could get in and out of the door on time. The level of accommodation and care is remarkable! read more

Words cannot express how happy I am that I've found this office! From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. The front office staff make you feel comfortable and answer any possible questions you might have. Today was my second time back in this office. The Botox experience was quite delightful, and, may I say, absolutely pain free. Hooray! Dr. Hagstrom, thank you for your time, experience, attention to details, listening to my thoughts and concerns, and making this such a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone. read more

Ok so where I come from...Botox really isn't something that you do. But I have had this line between my brows that has always..(I feel) made my face look a little more masculine than I'd like. I remember confessing to my best friend about it one day and low and behold my next birthday she'd bought me a groupon for a 20 units with Dr.Hagstrom. If she hadn't I probably would have NEVER done it..and that would have been such a shame. I was so hesitant about going even from the first appointment call but I felt IMMEDIATELY at ease. The staff was so warm when I walked through the door..(joking with me when I asked about a tip..yup...that's how new to this I was)..Michael talked with me about what I wanted and let me ask ALL the questions I needed to..SOOOOOO KNOWLEDGABLE!!!!!...and positive about my concerns and fears..which is so weird for me cause I'm usually so shy when it comes to my face and beauty problems. When we decided what might be best for me I met Dr. Hagstrom and this man knows his stuff!!!! ..Other than being blown away just listening to how professional and experienced he is, I was so struck at how caring and sensitive he was the entire procedure. Was not expecting someone in this cosmetic field to be so non judge-mental and positive. I really felt like they really wanted to help me look my best self. I sat on the fence for a LONG time on wether to try it or not and I'm so glad I did...but I'm on my 3rd session for no other reason than my initial experience was so wonderful. And that had everything to do with Dr. Hagstrom and his amazing staff!!!.. read more

Dr Mats Hagstrom is no longer employed by Palo Alto Medical Clinic , after surgery I bleed and he ignored my systems I went to the head of PAMF ! my hemoglobin was 8. Be careful with any surgery read more

For more than 10 years I struggled with pockets of fat that I could not get rid of. I could not get rid of my flanks and belly fat no matter how hard I worked out at the gym or how many diets I tried. My frustration and lack of results to get rid of my stored fat made me visit several cosmetic surgeons to get advice and pricing on liposuction. I got different prices and opinions and I had the feeling that Dr Mats Hagstrom was the best choice. So I decided to move forward and have him performed the lipo procedure I needed. I was not sure about which one was the best option, I heard good things about laser lipo, smart lipo, vaser lipo and several other techniques. He said the best one for me was power assister lipo and I decided to let him make the call. The fact that he has been specializing in liposuction for so many years was a good sign but it was even better to see that he is among the few physicians with only positive reviews and no negative feedback or real complaints online. I am glad I chose him, although I had some bruising and I was swollen the first week within 3 weeks I could start seeing the results. My body looks like never before, seriously, the results are impressive. Dr Hagstrom did a wonderful job, he was very caring and he was very concerned about making sure I would be happy with the results so he made sure to explain me how much improvement I would get from his treatment. I totally recommend him to anyone looking for liposuction, he is by far the best option out there. read more

Watch out! I purchased 20 units of Botox through Groupon. When I went in, the receptionist tried to tell me I had to purchase more units in order to relax the horizontal lines on my forehead. This is contrary to any research for average number of units needed for the forehead (10-20). He also tried to tell me that I had to do my entire face in order to have Botox only on my forehead. Do not let them up-sell you or tell you things that are not true. read more

I just had my laser sculpting for full abdomen two days ago. For the first time, 48 hours after surgery, as instructed, I took my compression garment and bandages out to shower. I am already amazed of what I see and the difference that this procedure made eventhough I'm swollen and the full result will be in six months. Now about the Dr. Hagstrom. He is my angel. I am so lucky to have found him. I am a very brave person, but not stupid. I do my homework and research in choosing a great doctor and that's what I found about Dr. Hagstrom. I fell at ease with him the minute I had my consultation. I took a girlfriend with me on the day of my operation. She wanted a consultation with Dr. Hagstrom. She had seen other doctors, but fell in love with Dr. Hagstrom. He spent great amount of time with her and when he came to mark and photo me, he asked if he could bring her in my room to see if we had more questions and compare my skin to hers. She had babies, so she has loose skin, which he told her that he knew the she won't be happy with this procedure and she needed a tummy tuck. He was so honest and compasionate that she loved and trusted him right there and then. As for my procedure, it is uncomfortable when he's numbing you. but not something that I couldn't handle. He talked to me and asked about me the whole time. His nurse, Toya is the nices nurse and most compassionate nurse that I have seen in a long time. She was so helpful, so great at her job. She held my hand during the operation when I needed it. I love this team. If I need to have any other beauty procedure done again in the future, Dr Hagstrom is my Doctor for life. P.S. I'm taking another friend for consultation next week to see him:)))))))))))))))))) Thank you and I love you Doc. read more

I met with 2 other doctors for lipo consultations but decided to do my surgery with Dr. Hagstrom. He was very patient with me when I was asking many questions trying to understand every single step of the procedure. English is my second language and I was very worried if I could communicate well or not. After I completely understood everything about the surgery and had no more questions to ask, then I had very good feeling about Dr. Hagstrom. I trusted Dr. Hagstrom. He was very kind from the beginning. He removed all my concerns and I had confident about getting a good result and I did! I am thinking to visit Dr. Hagstrom for an another consultation because I want my other area to be done. I totally recommend him or anyone who are thinking to have surgery. I think Dr. Hagstrom told me that he has "20" years of experiences!!! He also has many other good reviews in yelp. I can't believe I found such a great plastic surgeon who can contour my body! Thank you very much, Dr. Hagstrom! read more

I was so fortunate to discover this practice. They have a warm and personable approach, backed up by an experienced professionalism and polish. Michael makes this place! He is a delight to work with and will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. This was by far my best botox experience. What's important is results and I couldn't be happier with mine and will highly recommend this office to everyone. read more
