    Lizzy M.

    Back in the spring of 2019, I was in the market for a surgeon to perform my (long-awaited) rhinoplasty procedure. I found a surgeon in San Jose that I really clicked with and planned to go to. But when finances came up, I realized I would need help in order to afford the procedure. Thankfully my godfather came to the rescue and helped me out. Though when he came into the picture, he said that his dermatologist had recommended a surgeon who was in the same building as him - Dr. Kaplan. When the consultation came around, right off the bat I could tell that Dr. Kaplan was a great surgeon and a great guy, who had a very palpable passion for his craft. He was really nice and listened to what I said with enthusiasm. Though as the consult went on, I could tell that he was more concerned with the dorsal hump (my bump) and adding a supra-tip break rather than my main concern, which was the bulbous tip of my nose along with the fact that it veered to the right (see below). My bump was actually the least of my concerns. While I did want to minimize the size of it, I actually wanted to keep a slight bump. But I mainly wanted to focus on refining and minimizing the size of the tip of my nose and correcting the asymmetry in the tip and nostrils as much as I could.  Yet because I'm passive and never want to hurt anyone's feelings (since he was my godfather's recommendation), I ignored my own and decided to have Dr. Kaplan perform my surgery. When the post-op reveal finally came, you know all those videos of people getting their casts taken off and they start getting emotional because they're ecstatic about their results? That wasn't me. But for the next year or two, I tried not to focus too much on the look of my nose, thinking that time would make me love it as much as I always dreamed that I would. Telling myself that I was being overly critical of it because it was still so new. But this past year, I stopped gaslighting myself and admitted that I'm just not as happy with my nose as I should be. I've included labeled images of what my nose looked like before, during the healing, the crooked cast and then random pictures of my nose from a month post op until just last week. You'll also see that there are a few pictures that have red lines drawn on. I did that so you can clearly see that the bridge of my nose is uneven and creates this weird shape at the base of my nose where the bridge meets my nostrils. I've done the same with some pictures of the tip of my nose, where you can see it just has an odd shape. He also shaved the bump down a little more than I wanted. But that I can get over. And lastly, I still have an issue with my nostrils because as you can see below, one nostril kind of just goes straight across and the other curves up. And while I understand you can only do so much before damaging nerves or other anatomy in your nose, I feel like more could've been done seeing as they looked exactly the same pre-op. I'm sure many of you will look at the images below and think I'm being overdramatic and that my nose looks great, and I appreciate that. Though that could also be because I know my angles. But the point is that I paid nearly $10k to change my biggest insecurity into a feature that I would love instead. I hated my face because of my nose since I was 11 years old, so it was a dream of mine for over 10 years to get Rhinoplasty one day. So after paying that much money and dealing with years of self-hatred; yes, I expected to be absolutely ecstatic after having my nose done. Not just 'kinda happy' about it. Despite what you may think, I'm not writing this review to trash Dr. Kaplan or his practice. He really is a great guy and his staff is also amazing, and don't get me wrong, I do think he's a great surgeon. But maybe it's that my results were just a one off because I was a weird case or I'm just too particular for my own good. Or on the other hand, maybe Rhinoplasty just isn't his strongest suit. To make things a bit more transparent, if I were to rate my nose from 1 to 10 on a happiness scale (10 being my nose is absolutely perfect), I would say I'm a solid 5.5 maybe a 6. All the while I was hoping to be at least an 8. Don't get me wrong, my nose looks pretty snatched from either profile (which is why I mostly take pictures from my left) but that's the extent of my happiness with it. It's pretty rough when you don't like your nose from the front view. In the end, I'm not nearly as happy with my results as I always dreamed I would be. P.S. I feel bad that I'm giving 3 stars but honestly it's the most accurate rating given my situation. If I was just rating Dr. Kaplan and his staff, I would for sure give 5 stars. But between feeling like my concerns weren't completely heard and my results, I feel like 3 unfortunately sums up my experience.

    I finally went through with my extended tummy tuck and BBL w/ doctor Kaplan & I am so happy I did. I was originally going to go elsewhere but decided I wanted to stay local in the Bay Area and not have to travel after such a big surgery. Dr.Kaplan did an amazing job 2 years ago when I went to him for a breast lift with breast implants. I am so happy that he snatched my tummy and waist and filled in my hip dips - the results are phenomenal, I'm almost 2 weeks post op and he has such a soft touch that I had a very smooth recovery, I watched a lot of YouTube videos on this procedure and recovery that I was very scared about the post op aspect. Recovery is definitely a journey and you practice patience with your body, and yes I did go through emotions about why did I do this but let me tell you each day that goes by is another day you made it and your body is starting to heal it only gets better :) Very please that my drains are on a lanyard I love that ideas it makes it so much easier for me. Although I cannot wait to take my drains out I'm perfectly okay that he takes them out 2 weeks post op but may do it earlier if your draining less then a certain amount. Dr. Kaplan called me the same night after my surgery to check on me and answered any questions I had and that was a big plus for me because you want to make sure you have a doctor who not only is there to answer any questions after hours but doesn't just leave you to not know what to do in case of an emergency or concern. I am very happy with his office staff they are all so sweet from the consult to the big day and all the help in between and it was very straightforward in terms of the labs I needed and cOvid test. After surgery I was a little goodie bag of post op papers scar cream and my meds which is amazing I didn't have to go to a pharmacy before or after surgery they had them ready for me and 2 garments! The anesthesiologist was amazing and so sweet he called the night before which was a big relief the next day was very sweet and made my "cocktail" and I was off to sleep waking up with a small waist and I did not wake up sick or anything. If I do any more procedures I will definitely be back to see Dr.Kaplan! Literally helped me accomplish my body goal and is the sweetest caring doctor ever! So happy he shows his surgeries on social media because that can help a lot of people considering these surgery's and what he does :) If your considering a surgery look no more and please book a consult with RealDrbae

    Bye Bye mom Bod, Helllo new Booty! Thank you to Dr.Kaplin!! & Thank you to the lovely sweet ladies behind the scenes! I've had a couple cosmetic surgeries in the past. I had a good experience don't get me wrong. But this experience with Dr. Kaplan and his amazing team was hands-down a Great experience!!! I had ups & downs.. First- All appointments including consultation were easy peasy and most important I felt so comfortable! It was awesome, I took advantage of their promotion. I paid at consultation and got $1000 off!! So, heres "The Tea" I had one scary thing happen. (But thanks to Dr. Kaplan it wasn't as scary) I had to go to the hospital for possible blood clot. Ended up at the worst hospital ever.. They didn't complete the scan they needed to. But thanks to Dr. Kaplan ‍ he called the doctor directly that treated me and had her tec redo it immediately. I went back into the hospital room and got a complete and thorough scan. Thank God no blood clot & everything was fine. Mind you this is all on a Sunday LATE afternoon WELLLL IN TO night! Dr. Kaplan was by his phone EVERY second of the day. He gives you his personal number! So not only did I score an amazing new body but i scored an Amazing kind hearted/ Reliable Dr.!! Im now 8weeks post op & loving my results! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED &CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT DR.BAE & TEAM!! Check out my results!!

    dr kaplan really gave me that perfect hourglass shape!

    I have been interested in getting a brazilian butt lift for a while and began doing in-depth research and consultations - I spoke to doctors both local and out of town. Bottom line, I am in my thirties now and there are just some things hours in the gym won't achieve. Dr. Kaplan was my 6th consultation and I felt immediately comfortable with my choice. He gave me the possible (but VERY rare) complications that could happen and none of the previous 5 doctors I spoke with even mentioned anything like that. He was clear on what to expect and gave me my quote in minutes. I LOVE my results - my waist is SNATCHED and my booty is fat! My post op appointment was smooth and I was floored by the before and afters. He was patient with all my questions, welcoming, and professional. I highly recommend him to any one looking for work done. Thank you, Dr. Kaplan!

    I had a bbl with Dr. Kaplan in November, I am now 5 months out. So happy with my results. Dr. Kaplan and his staff are very professional. When you get a bbl you can loose up to 50%. I maintained 90% and it's because I went to Dr. Kaplan. I highly recommend him.

He even said very genuinely that I didn't NEED any enhancements - it's more about what I WANTED, to feel best about myself. When you are considering cosmetic procedures in the face & neck area, it's imperative that you select a surgeon who is certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology in Head and Neck Surgery, as Dr. Dedhia is. Prior to meeting Dr. Dedhia, I had consulted with a general plastic surgeon, and she nearly guided me in the wrong direction. Additionally, make sure to select a plastic surgeon who takes the time to truly understand any medical issues you have so that they can help you evaluate the risks and benefits of what you are considering cosmetically. I have multiple health conditions, including one that is very rare - Dr. Dedhia fully took all of them into account, even doing research in advance of our appointments to make sure he deeply understood what we were dealing with. Then, he explained clearly how my healing and outcome could be affected, guiding me down the most sensible path. (By contrast, another very experienced head & neck plastic surgeon I'd seen earlier this year had recommended a procedure that was far too drastic under the circumstances). Overall, I felt fully confident in Dr. Dedhia's judgement. And I should also mention that the customer service was top-notch throughout my experience, thanks to his office manager Colleen. In sum, Dr. Dedhia is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, professional, and personable - for those reasons, I give him my highest recommendation.
