    Amazing Staff, Super Welcoming from the beginning. Karina & Amanda super amazing DR. G literally makes you feel so comfortable, and explains step by step while doing the procedure. I've definitely would recommend this place for many types of procedures. Will be coming back for other treatments

    Dr. Daniel Gardner is the best. He has the best staff as well. His bedside manner is impeccable. He is beyond informative and spends a lot of time explaining the process. The office is clean. Korina is so sweet and great. She was so helpful throughout the entire process. She kept us up to date and never left us hanging with questions. Amanda and Brooke were also great. From beginning to end we were met with welcoming happiness. A1 care!!! The aesthetic is so beautiful. Dr. Gardner leaves you SNAAAATTTCCCCHED! They give you the vibe of friendship. They don't make you feel like just another chop shop customer. They really do take care of you and want you to have the best results. I love that Dr. Gardner explains that it is up to us to continue making ourselves look good by taking care of the masterpiece he creates. No complaints here. We love him and his staff

    With earrings after surgery

    I'm writing this review 8 months post-op, and honestly I'm still so happy with my results! A little background, I went through the stretched earlobe phase back in middle school (yep, gauges) After I took them out, the holes never fully closed. No matter what I did, my earlobes didn't look "normal" again. It made me super insecure. I avoided certain hairstyles and barely wore earrings because they would droop or fall out. When I did wear them, I had to use huge backings just to keep them in place. After some research, I found out earlobe repair was a thing and immediately knew I wanted to do it. I booked a consultation with Plastics MD, and from the second I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. The office is stunning, clean, and so chic. The staff, Amanda and Karina, were incredibly warm and helpful. They answered all my questions and made the booking process seamless. The procedure itself? Shockingly easy! Dr. Gardner explained every step, which really made me feel comfortable and safe. It was quick, painless, and honestly way less scary than I imagined. I walked out the same day thinking, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" Fast-forward to now my earlobes look completely natural. You'd never know I ever had gauges! The scars are basically invisible, and I've been able to wear delicate, dainty earrings again without worrying they'll fall out. The first time I put on little diamond earrings after healing, I literally teared up. It sounds small, but it gave me back a confidence I didn't realize I was missing. If you've been on the fence about doing this DO IT. I can't thank Dr. Lalazari, Dr. Gardner, and the entire Plastics MD team enough

    I had my procedure done 3 months ago by Dr. G and I have to say I'm very happy with the results so far! He's super professional and very supportive, he made me feel comfortable and safe from the very first meeting we had. Karina guided me through out the whole process, she's been awesome! The whole staff is super kind and sweet, they'll make you feel welcomed and heard :)

    I had what was supposed to be a ptosis repair /Brow lift procedure here at PlasticsMD recently. I previously had breast augmentation done with an amazing Board Certified Experienced plastic surgeon in San Francisco Many Years ago. It went sooo well, that I naively assumed all plastic surgeons are all the same. I was so so very wrong!! Please be warned and Please please do your own homework before working with any plastic surgeons!! My own personal experience at PlasticsMD was incredibly traumatic, painful, chaotic, rushed n pressured n a nightmare. PlasticsMD concealed anesthesia complications during my surgery that I did not give consent for. I am a petite Asian, weight 95 pounds, and they without consent last minute switched from twilight to intubation anesthesia on me. Coming out of the surgery, I was in massive amount of pain from the intubation complications and the coughing and panic attacks caused the botched my surgery. PlasticsMD since has been concealing + being incredibly shady abt my anesthesia complications. They have not been able to provide or share my patient operative notes, withholding patients records is illegal. I was in massive pain right after the surgery due to anesthesia complications, and absolutely hated the botched brow lift, and now have severe PTSD, an working with my therapist and psychiatrist to treat the trauma. Which led me to call a malpractice and personal injury lawyer. They concealed my anesthesia complications for 6 months!! I am still coughing, n have throat pain n irritation, n had no idea that it was from this botched procedure. Only thru my lawyers I just found out that the Dr's here at PlasticsMD are NOT board certified plastic surgeons!! I was completely misrepresented by PlasticsMD sales rep's to to think that their surgeons were all board certified highly experienced Dr's: NOT true at all. I'm now painfully having to get additional care n treatment from the complications from cosmetic surgery done with a non Board Certified plastic surgeon. Who lacks the experience n skills to safely operate on me, and failed to meet the standard of care to manage the complications from the surgery. After 6 months of pain, I finally have the energy to pursue a medical malpractice for fraud, battery, failed plastic surgery n gross negligence n misrepresentation against Plasticsmd!! Proverbs 19:9 "False witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish." As my sufferings mounted, I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course." - Martin Luther King Jr.

    If you're considering cosmetic surgery for the first time, PlasticsMD is the place to go. I had an absolutely incredible experience, and now, one month post-op, I couldn't be more thrilled with my dream results. Huge thanks to Dr. Gardener, Dr. Lalazari, and the entire team--you've truly changed my life! This was my first-ever surgery, so naturally, I was nervous--terrified, even. But with my wedding approaching, I wanted to feel my absolute best for one of the most important days of my life. I've always been self-conscious about my double chin and fuller face, and I longed for that "snatched," yet natural look. Neck lipo was never something I thought I'd actually go through with, but I'm so glad I did. Just one month later, I feel more confident than ever. From the start, the process was smooth and reassuring. Booking my consultation was quick and easy, and I appreciated that they offer free consultations--it took the pressure off and made me feel comfortable exploring my options. Walking into the office felt like arriving at a high-end wellness resort. The space is clean, calming, and beautifully decorated. Amanda, the receptionist, greeted me with the warmest energy and made check-in effortless. She brought me to the consultation room and ensured I felt comfortable while waiting. Then I met Dr. Gardener--kind, upbeat, and genuinely excited for me. He was incredibly transparent and thorough during the consultation, answering every single one of my (many!) questions with patience and care. His confidence and clarity immediately reassured me that I was in the best hands. It was clear the entire team at PlasticsMD is deeply invested in their patients' well-being--they made me feel seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way. Surgery day came, and I was understandably nervous, but the team went above and beyond to make sure I felt prepared and supported. Karina, who helped me get settled, was so kind and calming. After taking my vitals, Dr. Lalazari came in to check on me and administer my medication. I shared how anxious I felt, and she instantly put me at ease with her calming presence and encouraging words. I felt completely safe and reassured having her by my side. Post-procedure, the care didn't stop. The doctors were gentle, attentive, and so thoughtful as they helped me recover and shared how excited they were for me to see my final results. That encouragement meant the world. Throughout my recovery, the team continued to check in with me regularly, making sure I was healing well. Any time I had a question, they responded quickly, which made the entire healing process smoother and far less stressful. Now, just over a month post-op, I can't believe the transformation--not just physically, but emotionally. I used to dread taking photos, but now, I finally feel confident in my own skin. Whether it's your first procedure or your third, I can't recommend PlasticsMD enough. They offer unmatched care, compassion, and results. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    Absolutely THRILLED by my results! Dr. G and the rest of the team at Plastics well exceeded my expectations. From the moment I came in for my consult, Amanda in the front office was so sweet and accommodating. Pre and post appointment she often checked in to see how I was doing. Dr. G made me feel so comfortable at every point of my journey and his results speak for themselves! 100% worth it very happy with my chin lipo !!

    Right after surgery!!

    I had my breast augmentation done in July of 2024 and came back in March 2025 to do chin lipo! I loved my results so much from my first procedure that I knew I was in good hands with my face! I was so nervous to do anything to my face but I hated dealing with the stubborn fat under the chin, no matter what weight I was! Even at my leanest, it just wouldn't go away. Amanda and Karina were so helpful as always, helped me book a consultation so I could go over any concerns and talk about recovery. Dr. Lalezari did my chin lipo and I couldn't be more obsessed! Doing any sort of procedure can be stressful but I know from past experience and this round that PlasticsMD is always clean, sterile, and has expert surgeons to give you exactly what you need! Downtime was more annoying than painful just wearing the headwrap but I wore it 24/7 for 6 full weeks like they recommended to get the best results and now my chin and jaw is snatchedddddd. If I knew how easy it was, I would have just done both procedures together the first time and I wish I had done it sooner but I'm so glad I had it done! Thank you Dr. Lalezari, Amanda, Karina and the whole team at PlasticsMD for making the process so easy! From your first consult, to surgery, to recovery and post op appointments they cover it all! No questions left unanswered. Thank you again for bringing back my confidence!

    Loving my results!!!!! Thank you team

    Karina was incredible and amazing. She gave me so much information and left me feeling very confident about my services. Everything from start to finish was seamless. The parking is easy and the team explains everything. You need to park in the structure and plasticsMD validates for you! The surgeon, Dr Shadi was so kind and followed up with me! I am so grateful and would recommend this to everyone!

    Definition of "SNATCHED". The PlasticsMD team is phenomenal! My experience from pre-op to post op has been the most memorable. The team is attentive to your experience and kind through out it all. No question went unanswered and realistic expectations were given. The results speak for themselves and I have received multiple compliments. I would 110% recommend PlasticsMD to anyone who is eager to feel their best while looking their best!Shout to Dr. G and PlasticsMD for exceeding my expectations!

    I came to PlasticsMD because I was interested in their snatched chin procedure. During my consultation, I was assisted by Jazmine and seen by Dr. Shadi. Dr. Shadi was very thorough in explaining the procedure and the process itself. She was very transparent about the risks and the recovery process. What I appreciated about Dr. Shadi is she kept asking me if I had any questions. It is very clear by both Jazmine and Dr. Shadi that in order to have the best results, compression is needed 24/7 for a minimum of one week. This unfortunately didn't work for me because of my busy work schedule. Jazmine has been my point of contact and helped me with this entire process. I appreciated her following up with me to address any concern or question I had. The professionalism and attentiveness to the patient was wonderful. Overall, PlasticsMD was a great experience. While I decided not to do the procedure because of my busy work schedule, what I appreciated the most is that there is no pressure to get it done. As a patient your needs are put first. If you're unsure, it'd encourage you to give PlasticsMD a try. Jazmine guided me through the process in a comfortable manner and I ultimately made a choice that worked best for me with the support of the clinic.

    I have had the most amazing experience at Plastics MD! I came here for a bilateral breast augmentation and am officially about a week and a half post surgery. From setting up my consultation, to the morning of my surgery, and everything in between, the staff and Dr. G have been nothing but super helpful and informative. Their office is probably one of the most beautiful offices I've been in, which I appreciate, because it lets you know that they take pride in their work and their aesthetic. This was my first surgery ever, so I was a little nervous and wanted to make sure I was in the right hands. Amanda made me feel supported and comfortable from the very start and Dr. G explained everything that would be happening for my surgery in such great detail, so I trusted him completely. They are very communicative and are available whenever you need. I received text updates about appointments and important things I needed to do, which was nice. Even after surgery, the nurses and doctors called and reached out to check in to see how I was recovering. Little things like that make a difference and really make you feel cared for. I am a mom of three little kids, so I came in here with a certain goal in mind and Dr. G definitely surpassed them. I am so obsessed with how my breasts are looking so far and I am so excited for them to be healed completely. I have already recommended PlasticsMD to so many others, and I will continue to do so! Love you all... and thank you again Dr. G and Amanda. You both are the best

    10/10 experience with the PlasticsMD Team! I've been wanting my boobs done for quite some time now and I'm so happy that I got the opportunity to be introduced to the plastic MD team. From the beginning the staff at the front desk (Especially Amanda) made me feel so welcomed and comfortable in my experience. I never once felt pressured to get them done within a specific timeframe or to deposit any money from the get go. Dr. Gardner was so understanding, kind, and easy to talk to about what exactly my goals were for my new breasts. He talked me through the entire process from his background in his medical field, his partner and their past work and even in regards to any possible complications. I came in with a list of 1 million questions and left after my second consultation, feeling really comfortable and excited! I can't recommend this plastic surgery office enough. My results are perfect and natural, and my healing process was extremely fast due to all of the doctors involved incredible work and support. From my in office visits up to my experience on my surgery date I was in great hands! When it comes to altering your own appearance, it's important to be surrounded by people that you truly trust and if that's what you're looking for PlasticsMD is the place for you! I was a 34B/C in my starting photos below and now around a 34DD with 350 silicone over the muscle implants. Good luck to all the girlys in their breast augmentation journey, hoping for everyone's to be as amazing as mine was! My Instagram is @princesskatrinnn if u want to see any further result pics !

Jane was amazing at clarifying and working thru any concerns I had prior to surgery. I was the first appointment of the day and actually ended up on the operating table earlier than expected. The OR staff was awesome both prior to and post op. And their anesthesiologist Dr JT has the best bedside manner, hands down. He was not only very friendly but he went over everything, answered any questions without making me feel rushed, and kept me in a positive frame of mind right up until the moment I fell asleep.

Besides being a jerk that has poor bedside manner and avoids seeing his patients after deposits and payments are made, he is a terrible surgeon. The specialist who removed the extensive scarring from my wife's breast said he does many revisions on patients that have work done by Dr. Newen. To have capsular contracture to both breast to this extent, demonstrates poor sterile surgical technique. Go to a real plastic surgeon that knows what he or she is doing. Dr. Newen is a horrible pompous human being and poorly skilled surgeonI am in the process of reporting his practice to the Medical Board that licenses him.

I went in for awake chin liposuction. He did a deliberate botch surgery ...never wanting anyone to go on my face...predatory battery in order to try to sell the facelift they kept pushing when I said no, and none of the records say it was discussed except their quote written by his wife's instruction to give to me "a deal if done on the same day". He made the jowels look bigger, and uneven fat removal, and fat separation up to the cheeks and indentations on my jawline. This also caused nerve damage so I can't smile normally still after 3 months my mouth cramps up randomly, eat with biting my lip, etc...have to do physical therapy. He refused to refer me or admit to what everyone else sees. He said it will be 8 weeks to get my mouth back..more lies. In post op he tried lying and argued he didn't go on my face and said "it would be dangerous", said it is referred pain and numbness... I said I have photos of Canula marks and a big lump on my face above my jawbone. He then lied and said "he meant he didn't go up to the cheek". He falsified medical records saying I had no complaints and my mouth works fine in post op. Zero consultation records. He didn't even include the perscribed Rx he gave me or OTC Rx to take home in his records! He contradicted his own aftercare instructions in capital letters. He didn't give me compression for what i went in for, and when asked, shrugged his shoulders like he didn't know. After surgery I had to text the question again, and ask about icing and exercise because he was too busy to talk to me after surgery. Gave no instructions in text either! Plus his negligence of my medical needs caused an Adams Apple because he "was too busy at his other office". A saroma, as stated in paperwork, should have been expressed, and he admitted he does sometimes but never asked me to go in to get it evaluated after several texts begging. So it hardened. He told me to get (long and painful) professional lymphatic massages to fix it...doesn't work. That drastically loosened my neck skin. other surgeons say I will get my smile back after a year 90% and only a facelift will help or filler is ongoing forever. Just a few days after post op he posted a long novel choreographed video with staff saying "this is what plastic surgeons do"... he's not even a plastic surgeon! He is a gynocologist! He false advertised good after 1 week, but texted me the big black sutures fall out after 2-3 weeks. In post op texts he said it will be 8 weeks to 6 months to be healed!! also tried selling tightening when the smart lipo says it tightens without anything else. He admitted in post-op he deliberately scraped my jaw bone 5-10 times on the one side (where they took thier illegal promotional video during surgery-i opted out of any pics or videos, and he put his logo on my pics!) he told me to try to move fat from the other side to the scraped side to fix it now. ..didn't offer to fix anything, even at a reduced rate like his paperwork says. He also ignored my anesthesia needs, and others have reviewed he's done that to them as well. he lied his numbing is stronger than the dentist, but his records show its just lidocane (the same), saline and a vasoconstrictor...so I felt the canula jabbing me the entire time for an hour. I told the nurse (his wife) that would happen unless they get septocane...the doctor lied in pre-op his "is stronger than the dentist". He admitted in post op the face muscles caused my mouth to be so bad and if he would have only done the neck this wouldn't be happening. Well since I'm in customer service and smiling and talking is everything to me, He will be sued and reported to the medical board if not settled ASAP! Future surgery pain and suffering and destroyed plans for this entire year and a half before I'm allowed to get revisions. Obviously not a compassionate doctor award winner like they tell us.

    I had such a positive experience and couldn't be happier with my results so far (surgery 4-7-26)…read more The doctor was incredibly attentive, took the time to listen to my concerns, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. What really stood out was how genuinely concerned he was about the condition of my implant and his commitment to doing what was best for my health--not just cosmetically, but overall. The office staff were equally impressive (Manoosh, Cynthia, Shannon)--professional, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The entire office has such great energy, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. I'm very happy with my breast implant exchange...so far and truly grateful for the care and attention I received. Highly recommend

    Since my initial review, I have been in ongoing communication with the office regarding anesthesia…read morebilling and documentation. I did receive formal legal correspondence requesting that I remove my review. However, my primary request throughout this process has remained the same -- to obtain accurate billing records and to address concerns regarding how anesthesia pricing was presented on the day of surgery. After multiple requests, I was eventually provided documentation. During that process, I discovered that the original anesthesia invoice had been sent to an incorrect email address, which does not match either of the email addresses I have on file. This explains why the invoice was not received earlier and contributed to delays in resolving this issue. My current concern relates to the anesthesia cost increasing from an initial estimate of approximately $500, to approximately $1,500, and ultimately to approximately $1,800. The final amount was presented on the day of surgery while I was already being prepared for the procedure. At that time, I was already in a surgical setting, extremely nervous, and had already committed significant time, preparation, and financial resources based on the previously discussed amount. While I understand that estimates can change, I did not expect a final increase to be presented at that stage. I did not feel I had a meaningful opportunity to evaluate the change or reconsider the financial terms before moving forward. I was also advised that the procedure would still be billed if I did not proceed, which made it difficult to pause or reassess the situation after I had already signed prior documentation and prepared for surgery. Additionally, I had been told the procedure was urgent, which added to the pressure of making a decision in that moment. During this process, I also learned that the anesthesia provider did not present or discuss the final pricing with me directly. Instead, the updated pricing and consent were handled through staff within the surgery center. Manoosh, who works with the surgical office, presented the revised pricing, obtained my signature on the updated document, and collected payment for the increased amount. Because the payment was collected through the surgery center and the updated agreement was facilitated by their staff, I have directed my concerns to Ocean Plastic Surgery regarding how this process was handled. As of now, I have not received a response from the office addressing these concerns. I am continuing to seek resolution directly, but I would encourage others to ask detailed questions about anesthesia pricing, timing of final cost disclosures, and available payment options well in advance of any procedure. I will continue to update this review as the situation progresses.

    5 star, 5 star, 5 star…read more Hands down the best plastic surgeon and staff in SoCal. I have researched for months the best doctor and Dr. Bivens is an amazing miracle worker. I chose him because of his extensive knowledge in reconstruction and how him and his staff looked out for me, not to mention he's a genius and graduated top of his class but you won't find that on any website because he cares about his patients more than boasting about his credentials It starts with a very welcoming reception from the front office staff and fillers down all the way to the surgery center. The care I received before during and after was very professional, caring, flexible, accommodating, pleasant and really listened to what was important to me and Dr Bivens and his amazing staff listened to every word I said and what's important to me. You will NOT be disappointed with choosing Dr Bivens

    Abram Nguyen performed my chin implant and upper eyelid surgery 16 years ago. I walked into hell…read moreand was tricked by them into paying for Gore-Tex implants only to get a silicone chin. The upper eyes were deformed and destroyed, and the chin was in the shape of pointy downward. Christina Chen, Abram's staff member and translator, recommended that I choose Gore-Tex chin implant. Although the price is three times more expensive than silicone, the benefits are obviously more than silicone. I paid and chose Gore-Tex. I spoke with Abram Nguyen and Christina: I wanted my chin to be natural and not big. Three months after the surgery, I discovered that my chin was crooked, curved downward, pointed from the front, discontinuous and too large from the side. I contacted Christina but she said it was a hematoma and told me to wait another year for the hematoma to completely go away. I waited another year and my chin still looked the same. Christina said that the Gore-Tex chin looks like this when it is first made, but as it grows with the soft tissue, the chin will get smaller and smaller, so you should wait another year. Over the next few years, she cheated on me in various ways. I had symptoms such as toothache, jaw pain, and red chin skin. Other doctors confirmed that I was deceived and got a silicone chin. Abram Nguyen admitted he put in silicone, not Gore-Tex。 They set a trap to deceive me by taking advantage of the fact that I lived out of state and was not fluent in English. My upper eyelid procedure was done badly as well. Abram Nguyen removed fat from my eyelids without my permission. The width of fat loss in the right eyelid is 7mm, and that in the left eyelid is 6mm. The eyes are sunken and the tail of the eye drops down. The right eye is parallel and the left eye is triangular and asymmetrical. The scars on the eyelids are very rough, and there are wrinkles on the eyelids after a large amount of eyelid fat was removed. The eyes looked smaller than before. sunken, wrinkled little eyes make me look thirty years older. The pointed, droopy chin resembles a witch's chin. I hoped that another doctor could repair my eyes, but the answer was that they couldn't because too much fat was removed. People looked at me with surprise and fear. Some people told me outright that my face was ruined. My life was ruined and I was in constant depression. I have been reluctant to go out for so many years. Staff Christina Chen introduced that Abram Nguyen graduated from a top medical university in the United States and said that I must completely trust their beauty technology and services. She also said that she and I speak the same mother tongue and that she would wholeheartedly help me. I chose to believe them, but what I got was deception, disfigurement and money fraud.

I've worked so hard, yet I was met with cold, dismissive questioning that honestly felt like a criminal interrogation. When I shared that my lower belly affects my mobility and breathing, he replied, "You're winded because you're out of shape," as if he could assess my fitness level just by looking at me. Sagging skin and weight do not equal poor health. Yes, I understand there's a Q&A process for insurance approval, but there's a way to ask questions with basic humanity. This wasn't it. The photography portion was clinical and emotionally detached, handled with no warmth. I left the office in tears. Other Yelp reviews speak of his kindness, maybe because they paid out of pocket. I came through Medi-Cal. Massive weight loss is a long, heroic journey. Surgeons have the privilege of offering a final, healing touch. That privilege was not honored here. It's not easy to get to this point after the rigmarole of referrals, hard work, and patience, but I will not be moving forward with Dr. Vu. Back to square one, but I trust I'll find care that recognizes I'm a whole person someone who deserves to be treated with respect, not contempt.

She is incredibly informative--she took the time to explain everything in detail: how Botox works, exactly where she'd place the injections for natural results, potential side effects, and realistic expectations for both my forehead/upper face Botox and the masseter treatment. No rushing, no upselling--just honest, expert advice. Beyond her knowledge, Tiana is so patient and genuinely sweet. She listened attentively to my concerns, answered every question (I had a lot!), and made me feel completely at ease and comfortable the whole time. Her gentle technique and warm demeanor turned what could have been a nerve-wracking first-time masseter treatment into a relaxing, positive experience. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and loves what she does.

It was great to catch up with everyone and was overwhelmed with how gracious they all were even though I cheated on them;) I saw John yesterday and we did some tweaks to make my issues more livable for now...it's a work in progress. My cheating days are over and it feels so great to be back. Julianne has truly put together a fantastic team!!!
