BBL by Dr. Sej
Juliet D.

It might sound dramatic to say a plastic surgeon changed my life, but that's how I feel about Dr. Sej! My body was destroyed after my 3 pregnancies and I absolutely hated looking at it naked. Dr. Sej shaped my body like an artist! It's even better than before kids. I have so much confidence and I actually enjoy going clothes shopping now and wearing bikinis. Dr. Sej is the best surgeon out there!

PHOTO ATTACHED. I've waited a few months to post this review, as I am still recovering from the verbal and emotional abuse I experienced in Dr. Patels office. Let's start at the beginning. I first saw Dr. Patel in 2016, for my first breast augmentation. I was very happy with my results. Fast forward to 4 years and a baby later, I started to see my right breast changing shape. Since I live in Palm Springs, at the time I wasn't able to travel to his office in Beverly Hills, so we did a FaceTime call, as well as sent pictures from all angles and he diagnosed me with having capsular contractor. He told me what the process was to correct it and me having full trust in him I agreed. After a year of saving money my surgery was finally set, he was to remove the capsulated implant and put an allograft around the implant to reduce the chance of another capsule. However during surgery he realized that I actually had a ruptured implant & not his original diagnosis. He said he had to scrape all the silicone out of my breast cavity & then he put a new implant in. When he came out of surgery while I was still under he told my boyfriend that he had to put a different brand implant and slightly bigger implant because he simply didn't have it. My boyfriend like a lot of dumb men, unfortunately never asked any questions as to WHY there is two different implants inside of me. After nurses woke me from surgery, at the SAME TIME as I was being dressed and put into a wheel chair, still dazed from anesthesia, in pain, Dr Patel was literally standing over me with his horrible bedside manner & loud voice updating me telling me the same exact thing he told my boyfriend. Because I was out of it and trying to focus on getting my clothes on with out feeling more pain, I had no questions. I'm sure later on, this is why Dr. Patel saw the opportunity to take advantage of the situation instead of correcting his negligent mistake of not being prepared for my surgery. A few weeks later I had my post opp check up on FaceTime. This is when the first red flag occurred to me. I remember mentioning something about one implant being bigger than the other and he played stupid and acted like he never said that. He said they are the same size and he only put in a different brand but they are very similar and not to worry once it heals they will even out and it will match my older implant in about 6 months. When I came in for my in person appointment he avoided answering my questions by speaking over me and deflecting. He told me he's the doctor & to listen to him and not my boyfriend. I really wanted to believe he wouldn't do such a negligent careless thing like this and then try to cover it up instead of just correcting the mistake. I trusted his word that in 6 months to a year I will be happy with how they look. He had me sign a bunch of paper work, which I wish I never did. Fast forward June 2023, still no symmetry in regards to breasts. I wrote an email before my next scheduled appointment expressing my concerns because I figured that would be the only way I could communicate with this individual without him trying to belittle, patronize, speak over me. When I came to the office, he & his staff were now saying a completely different story, lying that the implant was the SAME and he never had to replace the rupture with a different brand. He accused me of being on drugs which is RICH coming from him, when he's literally coked out half of the time. Let's not forget, I'm half naked while he's verbally abusing me, just a medical gown on. After I had gotten dressed and was waiting at the front desk for paperwork he very loudly insinuated that I was stupid, humiliating me some more in-front of his receptionist AND the mail man who he greeted in the middle of yelling at me, in which mail man responded laughing and shaking his head looking at me. After that he berated me some more. He was so fast to fly off the handle it's actually SCAREY that this person has people lives in his hands regularly. I wanted copies of the paperwork I signed which he REFUSED ME and told me I had to sign more paperwork to get copies of the paperwork I signed! He said if I didn't leave immediately he'd call the cops. Does that sound like someone who's not trying to hide anything? One of the papers I signed previously was for the implant that I had a WARRANTY on so that he could get compensated by Mentor since he had to use one of his OWN implants and not the one that I had the warranty for. This Dr. has absolutely no integrity & will do ANYTHING to cover up his mistakes, even if it means verbally abuse, gaslight and humiliate customers who have paid him THOUSANDS of dollars of their hard earned money. Is that really that kind of person you want operating on you or a loved one? Please consider twice before dealing with such a foul person. He is in the business for personal and financial gain. He does not care about the well being of his patients or put them before his own ego.

A shoot that i wouldn't do but after my bbl i had the confidence to do it!
Nubia M.

Dr. Patel i have no words to express how happy i am after my bbl you are by all means the best at what you do. Thank you, i couldn't have asked for better results. Thank you to all your staff that is very sweet and patient. After my surgery i did something that i thought i could never do a boudoir shoot that made me feel like a model all thanks to your magic hands. If anyone is considering plastic surgery Dr. Patel is the best of the best. Thank you again!

10 days Post Op

First things first, I just wanted to rant and rave how absolutely INCREDIBLE Dr. Patel & his team are. Kelsi is an angel!!! I am so thankful for all her time she spent talking to me over the last 2 weeks about any little concern or question I had throughout my recovery! She checked up on me Multiple times to make sure I was okay after having my BBL. Dr. Patel is a godsend, plain and simple. This man has skills unlike anything I've ever seen before. You may find a doctor with a couple great results, but I PROMISE you will NOT find another surgeon with his incredibly speechlessly gorgeous results over and over and over no matter what the patient looked like walking in. When she walks out, she's an a1 6* bootylicious goddess!!!!!!! He is so professional, kind, caring and overall an amazing man! Before going into surgery, he took as much time I needed for me to explain my concerns I was hoping he could fix. And ladies.... he did much more than fix my flaws- he made this body so far beyond beautiful! I didn't think I would ever be able to say that about myself, but I can now. His price is worth every cent, and to be 100% honest- I would've GLADLY paid thousands more considering how beautiful his results are. If you're looking for a Surgeon to do your BBL.... stop looking this very instant and call Dr. Patel. You will not regret it !!!!!!! You get what you pay for, plain and simple. I am so BEYOND thankful for this amazing man and his skill level is just out of this universe. He has a technique unlike any other surgeon on this planet. You will not be disappointed. ALL of his work is a1, no matter what you're looking for. Pain was minimal and was completely gone after 4 days Post-Op. I have been walking around completely normal since day 6, and every day has only gotten better and better. Again, I can't stress enough how amazing Dr. Patel & Kelsi has been to me this entire recovery. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You have truly changed my life for the better and I can't be happier. I would've never imagined in a million years I would be so happy in my own skin, and Dr. Patel gave that to me. IM SHAPED EXTRA JUICY BITCHES!!!!!!! You can be too, just give him a call and book that shit!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again, for all your time and energy spent on me and my questions/concerns! I adore each and every one of you on this team. I can go on and on, and rant and rave about every little detail from the second I walked into the office, to the second I was wheeled out- everybody on Dr. Patel's team was so kind to me and made sure all my worries were explained throughly, which made me feel so much better. I was so nervous but as soon as Dr. Patel walked in the room, introduced himself and talked to me- all my worries were gone and I was no longer nervous. This man deserves a gold metal for his skills!!!! Thank you for giving me my confidence and self love! - Rose H. @MrsVonDank Xoxoxox

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. My results far exceeded my expectations in every way, as I felt I had a complex case. 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. Im only 2.5 weeks post op and my results speak for themselves! Could not be happier! I would definitely back to him for any future procedures I may choose to do and recommend him to all, and trust the process. Thank you Dr. Eugene Kim! 11/10- The best of the best.

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.. Just be careful and explore other lift options and other doctors please I tried to upload pictures but even yelp thinks it's to horrid to post or something.. left feeling helpless alone and defeated

I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast reduction with a lift, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

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!
