When you are considering surgery it is so important to find someone who makes you feel very comfortable. I did look into two other surgeons before choosing Dr. Schlesinger, but their offices and personalities just seemed cold. His office staff members were friendly and professional and from the casual conversations between the patients it was obvious that everyone there felt at home with the staff and the doctor. From the date of my consult, Dr. Schlesinger made me feel at ease and helped me understand my options and decisions. On the day of the surgery, it was clear that surgery staff were professional and attentive and the doctor again walked me through the upcoming procedure. I don't think I have ever met such a caring physician and I have had more than one procedure because of my confidence in his skills. His aftercare is also amazing. When I went in for followups I did not see nurses, I always saw the doctor. If I had questions after hours, I did not have to call some impersonal service, he gives his patients his cell phone number and he either answers or returns calls quickly. He would rather come in on a Sunday to make sure that you are okay than have you wait until his office is "officially open" to see you. I am currently under his care, he is moving his practice into the use of PRP --which will help with post surgical scarring (apparently amongst many other things)--I look forward to seeing what innovations Dr. S. has up his sleeve. read more

Recently took a new girlfriend here to have her initial evaluation for breast implants & I was shocked at how squared away the places I've had a people in my past that have had their implants done here and they were OK. I was impressed with him, but this guy has really said the Mark on fire. You can tell he is the leader in this marketplace right now. The ones he's doing now on the women are incredible. I think we're both settled on having him do it I trust him and I trust his office and they have a great aftercare program. I highly recommend anybody they want to have implants done. Go to see Larry. read more

Aloha, This is an update on Schlesinger and I urge you to rethink using his service. I have just completed my 2nd MICP review regarding finding more damage done to me by Schlesinger. The Medical review panel found that there was enough damage based on discovery to grant me another opportunity to file suit against Schlesinger. I had offered to settle for monies paid and cost to repair but Schlesinger and his insurance company refused. I have started the process of filing in civil court against him. read more

Dr.Schlesinger and his team are phenomenal. I went in for the consultation since my nose and chin have always been a spot of insecurity for me. He explained everything to me very detailed and showed me images as well. We decided to go with the fillers to see if I liked my appearance after and I'd have an idea of what I'd want for when it was time for me to get surgery in the future. They offer a verity of financing options. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family on Hawaii. read more

Let me start by saying that I didn't receive medical care from Dr. S, but I supported someone very close to me as they went through their surgery. The staff and medical team are phenomenal!!! They left no concerns unaddressed. They were super helpful with preparing me for physical and emotional challenges to come. As far as the procedure is concerned, we are very, VERY HAPPY with the outcome. Thanks again Doc! You are a lifesaver! read more

Update: Was able to find a date in July. Surgery back on. Highly Recommend! I was scheduled for surgery early June but due to a promotion at work I had to cancel (I plan on having the surgery but not sure when). Even though they have a no refund policy, Dr. Larry was very understanding and and was able to give me a refund (minus a Small cancellation fee). Honey, the Patient Care Coordinator, is very knowledgeable and able to handle delicate situations such as this. My wife has been seeing Dr. Larry for years now and he always takes great care of her even when it doesn't pertain directly to her surgery or surgery care. read more

Slezenger ! Over priced! Quoted me $24K for silicone breast implants, said I needed breast lft! That didn't include the anesthesiology fee and hospital fee. Also, didn't include travel to Maui lodging, airfare, food, and transportation to and from the airport and doctors. Would ah e been more. I said See ya. My Plastic surgeon in Utah, was Very caring doc. Made sure my stay was comfortable, his wife gave me a ride to my hotel after the consult and took me grocery shopping. Super sweet people! I'm calling around! A yr to later called Utah, three day stay-- cost just a hair under $6K for "three" days, with round trip airfare (delta), taxi, necessary pain meds, food m/drinks for thee days, caseof water, lodging (holiday inn, was quiet and really nice, 24 hr care for nurse for hire) unless someone goes with you He gave me my biggest, under muscle, Mentor, smooth, med profile, 700cc I'm a DDD (sounds much larger than is looks) no lift necessary, He was amazing. Flew in from hawaii, next morning Consult, next day surgery, I've been planning this with them (Doc Malan and Nurse) over the course of a year. No issues since the surgery, recovery fast. Three days and I was on a plane back to the big island. It's been 20 yrs now and no need for replacement, still perky and beautiful (I want w the more natural look). Super stoked I did it. No regrets! No seconds thoughts of going a second time to get them larger mistake a lot of women make I hear that a lot wish I went bigger the first time! I had the space/tissue. We are all different! read more

Felt severe pain under my right breast so I called Dr Schlesinger to let him know about my pain but I was told he was in Surgery about 10 minutes after he called me back and I explained what I about my pain. He said he knows what I was having and he told me to fly up. Upon arriving in his office no waiting time called in right away then he explained what I was having he diagnosed my pain as "costo chondrites". He treated me with a professionalism and respect. I highly recommend him and would come back to do another procedure with him. Tina Moreno Tabucbuc RN/BSN read more

I had my breast lift in May and this has been one of the best most rewarding decisions I've ever made. Larry was very kind and walked me through the whole process to start. I had my son 4 years ago and my breasts were left saggy and deflated. Larry let me know exactly what my options were and what each option meant for me as far my recovery and results. The surgery went very well and he had me come in every day if not every other for the first week or two to ensure that there was absolutely zero infection. I followed his directions to the letter and I'm glad that I did. My breast have almost miraculously healed. Very little scarring and perky as ever haha. Very very pleased with how everything has turned out so far. I still have a nipple procedure to make my nipples pop out a little more and some color matching tattooing left to do and then my makeover will be complete. Thank you Larry! *Trust the process!* read more

It has been 11 years since this man touched me. Horrible results from facelift. My skin sluffed off in my entire lower cheek and jaw area.I required additional surgery behind both ears as infections started, he tod me hae tried to give me an Asian tilt to my eyes...I an Caucasian, Problems lasted years and I am still scarred from this lunatic drs surgery. I would NEVER reccommend this Dr. II allowed a BOTEX treatment and it paralized my eye requiring eyedrops for months so my eye would open. AVIOID this Dr. read more

When I'm paying top dollar for services I expect first class treatment. First of all the office area is old and unattractive looking. When I arrived on time for my appointment there were 4 people ahead of me and it was so crowded I was ask to wait out in the hallway. That is a NO Go! Already the treatment is poor. I ask the receptionist if the Doctor was running behind schedule which I could see he was. She confirmed yes and I politely turn around and left. I don't schedule appointments to wait hours to be seen as if I am a walk in who has to wait on availability. Why set up appointments if your going to make patients wait in the nasty hallway. I won't be going here. read more

I am thrilled that I made the decision to reach out to Dr. Schlesinger's office after catching wind of his scar elimination and new method of painless PRP solutions through a social media story post. I've done PRP under my eyes once before and it was a terrible, painful experience that made my bags even more noticeable for days. Where as this method of treatment has no downtime and has been nothing short of miraculous for me with decreased darkness and a more even skin tone. I wholeheartedly recommend PRP therapy to anyone grappling with stubborn scarring or other skin issues. Next I want to try my hair line since it is effective for hair restoration. Can't wait to try that next! read more

Overall experience was great. Friendly Staff. Liquid nose job / filler success! It was my very first time visiting a plastic surgery/cosmetic clinic. I went in for the liquid rhinoplasty / filler consultation and was able to get the procedure done same day. I was definitely nervous at first. However, the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The office has a calm atmosphere and they have a little lounge/snack area with complimentary snacks/drinks. For the actual procedure and meeting Dr Schlesinger, the consultation went well and was very simple. He took notes of what I wanted and added in his thoughts along with his professional advice. Procedure went well and I am very happy with my nose! I requested a subtle change but it has vastly improved my side profile just as what I wanted! I had visited since for a follow up appointment and Dr Schlesinger was very pleased and happy with the results. You can tell he loves doing this! I have done many research on the few clinics and board certified surgeons on O'ahu and Dr Schlesinger always came up on top! Overall, good experience and will definitely be coming back for follow up / touch up appointments! Definitely recommend. read more

Per Dr. S's reply, he said gloves (we were at his surgical center) would have been used but I was looking at his hands and did not see any "clear" gloves on him. None of the other stuff he mentioned like drapes or betadine or anything covering my mouth was used. Just the numbing shots and the tools to snip out the white internal suture. Maybe thats his normal process, or maybe my particular situation didn't require all that, but I am simply stating that is not what happened in my experience. read more

I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I just wanted to forget this experience all together. I ended up here after doing some research and found Dr. Schlesinger to have a lot of "good reviews". I was looking to do my lips. I wanted filler that resulted in a plumper pout. Since I have never gotten filler or any type of cosmetic procedures I was nervous and excited. I honestly wish that I had gone somewhere else to save me from this whole experience. He decided to use Juviderm Voluma in my lips. I remember as he injected the product there was no thought about symmetry or even going around my border, it felt very uneven and was super painful. He didn't use gloves or any method for creating good symmetry. After this experience I went online and decided to look into the product I started to feel worried because I couldn't find anything that said that that was a good product to do the lips with. I found that many injectors would not put this products in lips. They use it to lift and contour face and cheeks! I was finding information that stated Juviderm Voluma was a harder product and is commonly used to create volume in the face else where such as cheeks bones area etc. I felt super nervous about what I learned. So after a few weeks I noticed a lot of bumps so I decided to go back and see if there is anything I could do to resolve it. The Doctor told me there was nothing he could do to resolve it and that it was common to have lumps and would resolve itself eventually. I brought up that I have looked into the product and he assured me that the product was safe for the lips and was long lasting and durable. I had a bumps hanging down my upper lip that I could literally feel with my tongue and teeth. my lips look super uneven and I didn't know any better and just looked like that for a while. I felt all the money I spent for the look was just not worth it. And left me off worse then before. With disfigured lips! Finally I had a friend told me about another location and since I wanted to go get them fuller I went and had a consultation. I showed the injector my lips and she was astonished at how lumpy and uneven they were. I told her that I was sad because there was nothing I could do to make it look better and asked if she could make it even. She then told me that there was some thing we could do we could resolve it by dissolving the filler! I was so relieved almost crying tears of joy because I literally thought I would have to live like this. I had such a different experience with her my lips were super plump after they were even once I healed they were so soft and smooth and absolutely no pumping. Dr. Schlesinger's office doesn't feel/ look sanitary, and his method is less then professional. I am so surprised that he has so many good reviews. I decided to share my story and these pictures because I don't want anybody else to have to experience what I experienced. A rough injector who used the wrong product, unprofessional and unsanitary office, poorly injected product, leaving my lips deformed, lumpy and bumpy. In conclusion I do not recommend going here for filer or any other service! read more

I became a patient of Dr. Schlesinger starting around 2009 on the Big Island. There were no surgeons in the state of Hawai'i able to help me at my lowest point in life. He is kind, intelligent, articulate, and the most professional surgeon I've had the pleasure of knowing. I'm so thankful for his guidance over the years. I recently began seeing him in Honolulu and his staff is very welcoming and makes me feel extremely comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon they can trust. He is the best at what he does. read more

From the moment I walk into the office, the front desk staff make me welcome and comfortable, even offering snacks, more like being welcomed into someone's home. Dr. Schlesinger and his staff offer the kindest, most caring and professional visit I've experienced at a doctor's office and Dr. Schlesinger's gentle approach with patients really eases any nerves that come with doing a cosmetic procedure. The results are always top notch. Do yourself a favor and go see them. read more

Dr Schlesinger was able to help me after getting some feedback on a procedure I needed. He was thoughtful on his approach and performed an exact surgery with great results. I would go back if I Ever needed anything. read more

Sadly, about one month after getting my implants, one came out from under the muscle. Doc looked and said everything was fine. I moved back to the mainland and had 2 consults with plastic surgeons who stated it was in fact out from under my muscle. Less than 6 months later,the other one came out from the muscle as well. I will be having surgery with a new surgeon this year to have them removed. read more

In response to the business "response" unfortunately the Covid guidelines described in the first paragraph was not adhered to during my experience. Us 3 were consistently closer than 6 feet without masks save for the first 30 seconds of us meeting. I appreciate your time to respond but find it necessary to point out the lack of Covid precautions in the initial meeting. Thank you for your time. read more

I did my breast augmentation with dr. Schlesinger because my friends have done their procedures with him and they showed and told me their amazing results. Not only did I trust my friends' experience and results, I went in for a consultation myself and felt incredibly confident that I wanted to do my breast aug with dr Schlesinger. He was very informative, and educated me thoroughly about the different type of breasts and procedure options. I was amazed at how much he knew. He is clearly experienced and knowledgeable. He was very professional and his staff were extremely friendly. I felt nothing but confident and comfortable being around him and his staff. The procedure was a success and I was very pleased that he continued to see me until I was completely healed. (I heard most surgeons could care less after performing surgery and taking your money) however, Dr Schlesinger is different, he is genuinely a caring doctor where he wants to make sure your results are perfect and that you have a smooth recovery. Dr Schlesinger cares about how you feel and that's what I love the most about him. I have nothing but positive words for Dr Schlesinger and his staff. From pre surgery to post surgery, my experience on getting my first ever cosmetic surgery was amazing. I love my results and I love him and his staff. His work is stunning and I'm so glad I chose him to do my surgery. He is so genuine and trustworthy. If I ever have children in the future, I will definitely be going back to him to have a mommy makeover! read more

Because Dr. Larry has 2 offices with different yet fantastic staff in each location, it's only fair to write one review for each location. Main Office (Initial consult and follow up visits). Initially, I came to Dr. Larry's office because I had a medical issue that my insurance would not cover. A friend of mine, a medical doctor from Queen's Hospital told me that I was actually a few thousand dollars short of a Mommy Makeover and that I should consider looking into the procedure. After 4 months of extensive research and interviewing several doctors, I chose Dr. Larry. I can't begin to express how pleased I am with Dr. Larry and his staff; Joanne, Sara, Crystal, and the rest of the ladies were exceptional. From our very first meeting in July, I felt completely comfortable. Dr and his staff took time to thoroughly explain the procedures, show me pre and post op pics, and answered every question my husband and I had. I never felt rushed or pressured. I called at least 10 more times with questions and they answered all of them efficiently. In fact, I felt I was such a pest. I can say that when it comes to doing something as invasive and expensive as this, it is imperative to do your due diligence. For me, my well-being over ruled the expense. Due to my own personal feelings, I'm not comfortable with posting pics at this time, however I can't express the amount of happiness and gratitude I have today!! Mahalo to Dr. Larry and his team!! read more

Dr Schlesinger is a true pro. I had (HAD) gynecomastia, and was looking to fix that. Larry was clear and up front with how things would go, surgery was smooth, and healing has been easy. I can now wear any shirt in my wardrobe and be confident in how my chest looks, I'm very happy with the results. Guys, if you have man boobs and don't like it, go hit up Dr. Schlesinger. That's it. read more

If I could give more stars I would. I absolutely love this surgeon and his team!!! Amazing bedside manner and you can tell he truly cares about what he does and that he genuinely wants to make his patients happy with the best results to make them feel amazing!

I still need my second surgery but am already so pleased with the first one!! Nothing but the best and highest remarks for Dr. Larry and his team, so welcoming and accommodating, you know you are being absolutely cared for with the utmost effort !! Just truly and utterly exceptional. I could keep gushing but I think you get the gist of how I feel! :) read more

UPDATE: Dr. Schlesinger- after my tummy tuck I had infection after infection. You didn't know how to treat the infection and had to call on your "doctor friend" to advise you on what antibiotic to prescribe. You blamed me for the infection saying I shouldn't be touching the incision. I took very good care, changed my bedding regularly, washed my blankets regularly. You are the reason for the infection! You never wear gloves, you see patient after patient without washing your hands. You use your bare hands and touch my incisions. I went under anesthesia 4x because you were trying to "fix" your work. I am left with scars and pain with certain movements. Over a year later and I'm still wearing a binder because without it I swell and I'm in pain. Oh and let's not forget the gauze you left in my belly button that smelt so bad. I'm the one that discovered the gauze! read more

I had an appointment with Dr. Larry Schlesinger today @ 11:45AM. I arrived 5 minutes before. The first impression was already bad... the cheap looking Halloween decoration in the dingy old office, the receptionist who NEVER smile, and the food tongs on the floor (it's for picking up the pastries on the glass table.) The receptionist didn't even notice it, so it stays on the floor. Please see the picture I uploaded as the proof. A woman came in with an appointment, but the receptionist said that there was no appointment for her, I listened the conversation carefully, sounded like the receptionist messed up the schedule. (She blamed it was the software issue.) It was getting crowded with all kind of patients. I already waited for 20 minutes, so I asked the receptionist how long do I have to wait. In her cold facial expression, she said that the patient Dr. Schlesinger is seeing has lots of questions so it's taking longer. I told her I will wait 10 more minutes or I will leave. She never apologized, or she didn't even bother to pretend to look apologetic. I can see by all the people waiting and backed up, this place is very unorganized! I waited longer than 30 minutes, until 12:16PM, everything about this place was so unprofessional, so I just left!! Dr. Schlesinger, you just lost a patient who was willing to spend $12,000!!!!!!!!!! read more

I never got a chance to write a review until now. Dr. Schlesinger did a AMAZING JOB!! Did my research but to me he's the best. His staff is AWESOME too. You just have to be patient during your appointments but it's because he listens to your concerns and never makes you feel rushed. To me that's important. Keep it up Dr. Schlesinger and Team!!! read more

Dr. Schlesinger is a gifted surgeon. His work speaks for itself and I would not entrust any other surgeon to help achieve the results I was looking for, and walk me through this journey. During my consultation, Dr. Schlesinger was very professional and realistic about my expectations. Prior to meeting with him, I did my research and what set him apart was his work and his attention to detail. Do not expect to be given and definitive number of post-op appointments; Dr. Schlesinger is devoted to giving each and every client their respective attention on a case-by-case basis. He is always available and one one phone call/text away. He is an amazing human being, and I am honored to call him a friend. Thank you for everything Larry and for sharing your gift! read more

Everything was great! The staff were extremely friendly, the office was clean. The music made the place soothing and the refreshments were lovely. I was looking for someone to take my drains out. Schlesinger was fortunate enough to help me. He is an amazing surgeon and was so nice and caring the entire time. I am so thankful for everything he has done for me. 10/10 service was just amazing read more

I have had the opportunity of having Dr. Schlesinger work on 3 generations of us. From 30+ years ago till now, he has done excellent work. He is very good at what he does and his confidence brings you comfort during a time when anxiety is pretty common. I would highly recommend him not only because he is Board Certified but because he has years of experience & knows what has and has not worked. If you are considering cosmetic surgery to enhance or in some cases reconstruct a defect, go & see him for a consultation first. His knowledge will blow you away. The Breast Implant Center of Hawaii also has its very own certified surgery center with nothing but the best in staff. Go see Dr. Schlesinger & his staff at the Breast Implant Center of Hawaii before you make a final decision & you will know why he's so worth it. read more

Doctor Schlesinger and his entire staff are exceptional. Everything from my Consultation to my follow up appointments have been done beyond professionally.

I had a Bonelli left with implants that failed within two years. I informed Dr. S several times prior to Covid. Finally had the revision scheduled for October 9, 2022 flew to Hawaii for him to retract the surgery. he has blamed my anatomy, he has blamed my husband, which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, he's blamed everybody but himself and now I'm stuck with deformed, nasty, looking breasts. Spent $4000 to travel to Hawaii for him to go back on his word. Dr. Slezenger is a complete scumbag piece of garbage imo and I wish I could post pictures. read more

After two botched breast augmentations from two different doctors in Texas, I was devastated and started to google my symptoms. My implants were sitting way too high and my natural breast tissue was hanging off the implant. What was supposed to help me feel more confident ended up making me feel more insecure and self-conscious. After googling, Dr. Schlesingers website came up with an article on Tuberous Breasts, I immediately booked an appointment and got a flight to Honolulu. After meeting him and listening to his very clear explanation and plan I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Schlesinger explained exactly what went wrong in my first two surgeries and how we could correct it so I'd get the results I was looking for. Sure enough, my breasts went from completely botched to damn near perfect right after surgery ...(and I am not an easy one to please.) He is an excellent surgeon and was so sweet & caring before, during and after surgery. After 12 years of embarrassing boobs I finally feel confident and have the breasts I've always wanted!! I'm so grateful to him and his staff...I could not be happier! On top of an amazing breast augmentation, he helped bring symmetry to my face by putting filler in my chin....the man knows what he's doing!! 10 out 10 would recommend!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Schlesinger for over 2 years now for different services with great experiences. His clinical and office staff are very attentive and compassionate. He is very thorough in answering questions and exhibits patience in doing so. If not satisfied, Dr. Schlesinger has always been willing to remedy the situation without a cost or a very minimal one, depending on what is being asked. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in Cosmetic Surgery, he is very personable and makes patients feel comfortable...all why I chose him after researching and interviewing many surgeons on the island. He is the only doctor I have encountered that offers ultrasound for scar tissue and this has been a God send after my procedures to not feel so tight and it also helps with pain. I think because he has done what he does for so long and has been around to see everything that he knows what works and what does not, and what is best for his patients. Dr. Schlesinger repaired issues I had from another surgery and I am very happy with my results. I continue to visit his office for any injections I continue to get, which I am very pleased with. Honey is the office coordinator and has always been extremely helpful, professional and very good at what she does. I highly recommend Dr. Schlesinger. read more

I only scheduled a consultation, did not even meet the doctor, but must say that I was extremely turned off and left. During COVID times, office was crowded, I was appalled as I sat for minutes as another client sat on her phone with mask off in plain view of the staff. They offered food and drink which seemed extremely inappropriate at this time. The office is dirty, dingy, and is lit up like a strip club. I was given a pile of paperwork to fill out asking for my social security number just for a simple first consultation. Although this is a doctor, seemingly a medical practice, the initial office experience was anything but, and I have had similar experiences with doctors like this in Honolulu, so I knew it is best to trust your instincts and walk away. read more
