5 months post op
Alexandrea G.

Dr. Roger Tsai did my rhinoplasty in December 2022! I am a little over 8 months post op and I am absolutely in love with my nose! He really took the time in our consultation to discuss exactly what I wanted & also what he thought would look best with my features! It was a life changing procedure and I am so thankful to Dr.Tsai for giving me my dream nose! His office staff at Verona Plastic Surgery were very helpful throughout the entire process & even checked on me after my surgery once I got home! Thank you to Bree (director of patient relations) for always being so sweet! Also, thank you to Marina for always answering all of my questions !! I highly recommend Dr.Tsai to anyone looking to get a rhinoplasty, you won't be disappointed! I always get compliments on my nose and always recommend going to Dr. Tsai ! Sincerely , Devyn Alexandrea Gray

4 months post op

July 2024 I never posted my draft from last year. Tbh there were phases in my recovery where I felt some level of disappointment because my facial swelling stood in the way of me seeing results in any way, thus I refrained from posting my initial happy review. Not once did I think it would take longer than a year to see the change, even Dr. Tsai was under the impression that 8 months was enough. I am ashamed to admit that I did partially blame Dr. Tsai for not achieving the V shaped jawline. That didn't stop him from encouraging me and reassuring me. It took some time for me to accept the fact that my genetics played a big role in the results (I have a naturally receding lower jaw which is probably going to have to be a bigger fix). Now that I am 1+ year post op and I'm looking back at the photos, I do see that there is a significant difference in my face. Needless to say, I am happy with my choice and sorry for blaming you for the longest time Dr. Tsai!! It's really not you, it's me! Please remember people, plastic surgeons aren't magicians! Shout out to Dr. Tsai, Dr. Kim, Leidy, and Misako RN! Amazing team, makes you feel like family!! Surgery is scary. This was my first time ever getting anything done. I was beyond scared, but Dr. Tsai and his team made the made me feel so at ease! The second I met Leidy and Dr. Tsai I just knew I could trust Dr. Tsai to dig into my face while I'm knocked unconscious. And that's important, your surgeon should make you feel that way. I am exactly 1 week post-op as of today from submandibular/ neck lipo, buccal lipectomy, and fat grafting to the chin. I still look like a frog without my compression band and like a dumpling with it on, which is expected. So, I will be following up with results in a few weeks. But, I just wanted to pop in and say that as a health care professional myself, I absolutely adored the care I've received here. Love Dr. Tsai and his team, they're all very professional with great bedside manner!

Choosing Dr.Tsai as my plastic surgeon was one of the best decisions I've ever made!! Dr. Tsai performed rhinoplasty revision on me 4 months ago, and he didn't just "fix" my nose - he crafted a beautiful work of art. Rhinoplasty "revision" is known to be more complicated of a procedure, because of the leftover scar tissue from the first nose job, and it can be hard to achieve perfect results. Yet Dr.Tsai gave me everything I wanted, and more!! He brought my nose closer to my face, removed the bump, lifted up the hanging down tip, made the tip smaller, and gave me the cute little ski slope bridge I wanted. My new nose changed my entire face - in the best way! I always used to feel the need to wear tons of makeup around everyone, but now I feel beautiful without it. It's an amazing feeling. Also - Dr.Tsai also has the BEST attitude. He's so positive, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. I met with a lot of plastic surgeons, and a lot of them tend to have a bit of a cocky attitude - but Dr.Tsai is really such a kind, genuine soul. He made me feel so comfortable, and I love all the girls on his staff as well. They are all so much fun, and will make you feel very supported throughout the process! I attached photos so you can see the before and after. This is just 4 months post op - all the swelling will be gone at 1 year post op, and that is when you get to see the final results. But it looks AMAZING already!!

Update: I have had two other previous patients DM me since posting this review that have had the same experience/dangerous result. Please do your research. Tips I've learned when selecting the right surgeon: -if they are offering any specials or deals, run away! No accredited rhinoplasty surgeon will ever offer a deal as they know the value in their work. -rhinoplasty is the hardest plastic surgery to execute. Find a surgeon that only specializes in rhinoplasty and facial surgery such as an ENT. Anyone that can "do it all cosmetically" is not the best. -pay attention to the surgeons nose style. Some surgeons specialize in the "Barbie nose", the Diamond tip style, the natural look, etc. If you know the aesthetic you are looking for, find a surgeon that best suits this. -find a surgeon that can preserve your bone and understands the importance in dorsal preservation. One major reason why I say this is because if you are botched & need to get a revision surgery then this allows another surgeon the opportunity to reconstruct even better since parts of your nose were preserved. Considering a revision at this time has brought up more risks & concerns that I never knew before. It's terrifying so do the research! -Open vs closed rhinoplasty. After a lot of research, open is best. It has more precision for a doctor to be able to see your entire anatomy and execute. Closed rhinos can lead to major nose dents and issues due to they are chipping away at your nose without being able to fully see what they are doing 100%. -Be very clear in what you want to the doctor. Request imaging no matter what or examples of previous patients so you know if you're on the same page or not. This is a major key in trying to get exactly what you want- 1 of the biggest mistakes I made & now I'm living with this terrible result. Be very clear and careful. You need to feel confident they can give you your dream nose. -Be patient! Interview multiple doctors until you find the right one for you. Don't feel bad in wasting their time because ultimately it's your time & money being spent. The healing is tough but if you get the results you want it's worth it. Research is everything & take your time to find the right surgeon for you if you decide it's what you want. I hope this helps people!

Asymmetrical and collapsed nostrils

First off when I got out of surgery my cast wasn't even placed correctly there was a gap as you can see in the picture. 2- my breathing worsened. I wake up with about 20-30% of air flowing through my nose. I have to breathe through my mouth so I don't feel like I'm suffocating. And throughout the day I have to constantly clean it so I can breathe properly and that only lasts about 30mins and then I have to clean it again. 3- he left my nostrils uneven, they look collapsed. He also tucked in my nasal sill and retracted my collumella. He made my nose look like a pig. 4- there are some dents in my nose that I didn't have prior to surgery. And the bone on the left side of my nose is wider. 5 - I can't raise my eyebrows because the bridge feels tight and when I try and raise my eyebrows I can feel my skin stretch. This surgery is my first surgery ever and my biggest regret. I'm too embarrassed to go out in public. I've been crying every night because it feels horrible knowing your nose is worse than it was before. I trusted him with my nose and his consultant was very sweet and kind which made me think I was in good hands, but his work is not it. He also doesn't give good post op care instructions. If you're planning on going with him think about it because I recently found out he's been sued twice! really analyze his work and go to other consultations because he doesn't take the time to really know his patients.

For my first surgery, getting a rhinoplasty I definitely don't regret getting it with Roger Tsai , he did an amazing job he knows how to go based off your luck and what you want for your goals on your procedure. I definitely recommend going to this doctor because of how he doesn't leave no scars. He also is really friendly and nice and easy to speak to, and if you have any questions and help you. I'll definitely get another procedure done with him if I ever consider getting more surgery.

I traveled from the East Coast to get my old implants (ruptured with capsular contracture) replaced with him. I knew I was in great hands from start to finish. I can't speak enough great things about Dr. Eugene Kim! He is exceptional in every way. As a surgeon Dr. Eugene is incredibly detailed, careful, attentive, and has excellent surgical technique and gave a lot of individual intention and precision to my specific situation to give me the best possible results long term. His OR nurse and team also spoke very highly of him and his skills. His personality and knowledge are also top notch. Dr Kim is very honest, trustworthy, caring and an expert in his field, with zero ego and over reliance of heavy marketing of other plastic surgeons in town (IMO he doesn't need to, because he's the real deal) He is an absolute professional, pleasant, patient, caring, and humble.

Dr Eugene Kim is a truly kind and excellent doctor and human who cares about his quality of work and his patients' outcomes and delivers incredible results.

THANK YOU DR. NEUSNER!! I am honestly still in shock at how…read moreincredible my breast lift with augmentation results are!!! After being a mom and breastfeeding, my breasts were extremely saggy, deflated, and I had basically zero confidence left in my body. I would avoid certain clothes, zero confidence in the bedroom, feel uncomfortable getting dressed, and just didn't feel like myself anymore. Deciding to get a breast augmentation with lift was a big step for me, but WOW -- it completely changed my life!!!! Dr. Neusner is absolutely AMAZING. Not only is he incredibly skilled and talented, but he's also kind, patient, and truly cares about his patients!! He listened to everything I wanted and somehow gave me results even better than I imagined! My breasts are now full, big, round, and so perky -- I literally can't believe they're mine. They look youthful and beautiful again, and my confidence has skyrocketed!!! I also have to praise the staff because they were just as wonderful. Everyone was so warm, supportive, and professional from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable every step of the way, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Another thing I'm blown away by is how AMAZING my scars healed. I was so nervous about that, but they are minimal and healing beautifully. You can truly tell Dr. Neusner knows exactly what he's doing. The surgery itself went so smoothly, and recovery was easier than I expected. If you're a mom who feels like you lost your body after breastfeeding, I promise you -- Dr. Neusner is the one to trust!!! I went from having saggy breasts and no confidence to feeling confident, feminine, sexy, and happy in my own skin again. I am beyond grateful and would choose him a thousand times over. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!!! Your work is truly amazing!

Please choose under boob scar cause the one I'm left with has me feeling super insecure) So paying 18,000 , I was hoping to really love the results Sadly I had to get surgery twice to remove the horrid scars and to be left still feeling ugly really makes me sad and ugly.. especially in front of my husband and I hate looking in the mirror it legit makes me want to cry.. so I avoid the mirror as much as possible Interaction with dr Barrett are friendly but super quick and I was nervous it was I couldn't get all my questions out in time regarding my healing.. His wife was very kind and Colleen too I felt their interactions to be the most genuine Both times when stitches were removed my skin opened and left huge ugly scars.. I also have a dip in my left boob when I raise my hands idk if that's cause of the thick long scar or the placement... I can't afford to get them done again for a couple years (I'm on a teacher salary sadly) and honestly I'm terrified to try the same surgery a third time Healing was great hardly any pain (beside the skin opening and having to clean the wound) **Idk what's worse my deflated mom of 3 boobs or the lifted ones with dents and giant ugly ribbed scars starting at the nipple down to my ribs I kinda wish I never got them done at all ** And after $20,000 two surgeries and countless visits All they kept saying was results don't always look the way we desired..

I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast reduction with a lift, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Dr. Firouz listened carefully to my expectations and made me feel completely at ease. He is confident in his skills and truly knows what he's doing, which immediately put me at ease.

Exceptional Experience with Dr. Rady Rahban - Life-Changing Results!…read more Within just 10 minutes of my 90-minute consultation with Dr. Rady Rahban, I knew he was the right plastic surgeon for me. His consultation was incredibly thorough--more in-depth than any other I had before--and he answered every single question I had (even the ones I hadn't thought to ask). Dr. Rahban offered insights and surgical solutions I'd never heard from anyone else. My results are truly amazing. My scar is very thin and placed discretely enough to be hidden, and I experienced minimal pain during recovery. I followed all of Dr. Rahban's post-op instructions exactly, and I can't stress enough how important that is for a successful outcome. His office staff was beyond! So professional, compassionate, and always responsive--every email and phone call was answered quickly and kindly. If you're searching for the best plastic surgeon in Los Angeles or a board-certified plastic surgeon with top-tier results, look no further than Dr. Rahban. I couldn't be happier with my experience--and the outcome speaks for itself. Trust him and trust his process. You won't regret it!

I was dealing with a painful vertical keloid scar from a prior ovary removal, constant discomfort, and issues with bowel movements due to diastasis recti. I even had a doctor suggest I might have a hernia that would require mesh but because of my autoimmune thyroid condition, I was not comfortable with the idea of having a foreign object in my body. I had initially put down a deposit with Dr. Rahban, but life had other plans, I became pregnant with my third baby and had to wait. Fast forward six years later, and my symptoms had worsened. But I knew exactly who I wanted to go back to. From the beginning, I trusted Dr. Rahban. I knew he could repair my diastasis recti, and just as importantly, I trusted his meticulous technique to revise my keloid without replacing it with another one. While the aesthetic improvement mattered, my top priority was functionality and quality of life. As moms, we often feel guilty investing in ourselves but this experience changed my perspective. This wasn't about "going back" to who I was before kids. It was about preserving who I am now, my health, and my longevity for my family. Dr. Rahban took exceptional care of me. I traveled from Missouri to see him, and he made sure I was seen frequently while I was in town. He even debrided my wound when needed, knowing I'm not the easiest healer. As a nurse, I was able to continue my care at home confidently, and I'm happy to say my wounds healed beautifully. Today, I feel like a different person. I no longer struggle with bowel movements or straining, the painful keloid scar is gone, and I feel both physically relieved and more confident in my body. I don't typically write reviews like this, but I felt compelled to share for other moms who might be suffering in silence or putting themselves last. Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it's necessary. I'm forever grateful to Dr. Rahban for giving me my comfort, confidence, and quality of life back.

Many years ago I started following Dr. Cat on social media. I fell in love with her work and the…read morebeautiful results I saw in her patients. I dreamed and hoped I would one day get to have my tummy tuck done by her. A little backstory, I had a huge ugly appendix scar from when I was 8 years old. It was pretty high up and also "caved" in, therefore very hard to hide even with strong compression shapewear. Then after having my son my whole stomach was, in my opinion, a huge ugly disaster. Almost 7 weeks ago, I was finally able to have my tummy tuck done by Dr. Cat, genuinely a dream come true! I had a tummy tuck with a hernia repair, muscle repair, pubic lift and lipo of the pubic mons. I never had any bruising! Only took Tylenol for the pain for a few days. And the swelling was minimal. Recovery has been fantastic. And now my new tummy looks AMAZING! Every morning after my shower I run to the mirror just to take a look at my new flawless tummy and amazing bellybutton. To say that I am over the moon happy with my results is an understatement. As women, we're definitely very hard on ourselves. Our bodies go through so much and it's hard to see a tummy that doesn't feel like it belongs to us. And although, that body has done some amazing things, we deserve to be comfortable in our own skin. I, for the first time in my life (36+years) saw my tummy free of the stretch marks, the extra skin and the scars that have dictated what I could comfortably wear for my entire life. To Dr. Cat and her entire team, Amy, Julie, Emily and Dr. Misra (hernia repair) and Dr. Siegel (anesthesiologist) I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for giving me a confidence I never knew I would have. Thank you for making shopping for clothes fun again! :)

2.5 years ago, I received a terrible, botched mommy makeover in Miami that left me absolutely…read moredevastated. I was embarrassed to wear a swimsuit and didn't think I could ever be happy in my own skin again. Because this revision was an extremely complicated procedure, I wanted only the very best surgeon on the case. I searched everywhere -- from Miami to New York to Los Angeles -- and finding Dr. Cat was truly a blessing. I was so nervous to trust another doctor after my previous failed procedure, but even from the very first phone call with Emily, just to schedule my consultation, I felt at ease. When I first met Dr. Cat, I immediately noticed her professional yet kind and genuine aura. Since this was a revision, she was straightforward and honest about what she could do to help me. She didn't sugarcoat anything and set realistic expectations and I appreciated that. It left me feeling excited and hopeful for my procedure. After the consultation, I scheduled my surgery with Amy, who was also just amazing throughout my journey! I also want to mention how thorough and holistic Dr. Cat's approach was when preparing for surgery. She looked at every detail -- from reviewing my medical history to recommending therapy and hyperbaric treatments, even sharing calming links to listen to when I felt anxious. Three days before my procedure, I unfortunately came down with a fever and had to reschedule. I called the office on a Sunday -- and Dr. Cat herself answered. When I told her I was sick, her only concern was my health. She told me to focus on getting better and assured me we'd figure out a new date later. That moment spoke volumes. She wasn't worried about rescheduling an entire surgical day that had been planned for months -- she only cared about my well-being. It brought me to tears, and I knew right then that I had found a doctor who truly cared about her patients. The day of my procedure, of course I was a bit anxious, but I have never felt more at ease or safe. Her incredible team was so calming and reassuring throughout the entire pre-surgery process. My revision surgery lasted over eight hours, and when I woke up, I was in little to no pain. I had been skeptical when I heard that most of Dr. Cat's patients only use Tylenol after their procedures, but it was true for me as well. She is so meticulous and gentle, and I could tell the surgery had been performed with such care. At my one-day post-op visit, when I first saw my stomach, I immediately started crying -- tears of absolute joy. There were a lot of happy tears throughout this emotional journey, and I think it's because this time my experience was the complete opposite of my first procedure in Miami. I also want to give a huge thank-you to Amy, Julie, Karen, Dr. Misra, and Dr. Ma for making my pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery experiences run so smoothly. Her team truly feels like a family that wants the best for you. Dr. Cat has given me my confidence back in so many ways, and I am forever grateful!
