    I usually never write reviews but the SSK team was beyond amazing and others need to know! My breast augmentation came out beautifully done 1 year ago (I was very flat and got 545 cc implants), they look natural, feel great, and healed without any incidents. The team educates you on absolutely you need to know and how to get a safe surgery, which to me was the most important thing. They use the best technology, give you the best post-op care, and are always available if you have any concerns. I wouldn't look anywhere else, 100% recommend!!

    I cannot say enough about Dr. Sean Kelishadi and his incredible team. After losing 140 pounds, my body changed in ways I never imagined, and my confidence in certain areas was deeply affected--especially when it came to my breasts. I never thought I'd be able to wear a bikini top or feel good in a fitted shirt again. But thanks to Dr. K, that has completely changed. From the very first consultation, I knew he was the right choice. I had met with two other surgeons before him, but no one made me feel as comfortable, understood, or confident in their abilities as he did. He is compassionate, intelligent, and truly an artist in his craft. His attention to detail, professionalism, and skill are unmatched, and the results speak for themselves. Beyond his expertise, his entire team is nothing short of amazing. They are warm, attentive, and incredibly organized, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. His wife, who plays a key role in the practice, is just as kind and knowledgeable, adding to the overall welcoming and professional atmosphere of the office. Choosing Dr. Kelishadi was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only did he give me back my confidence, but he also gave me trust in the process, and I am forever grateful. I recommend him to absolutely anyone considering a procedure, and I'm proud to call him not just my surgeon but also someone I deeply respect and trust. If you're looking for a surgeon who genuinely cares, is a master of his craft, and will ensure you get the best possible outcome--Dr. Kelishadi is the one.

    My clients had referred me to Dr. Kelishadi a few years back. I finally had some down time get update myself. A mother of 2 and I've always been focusing on my kids as my number 1 priority. And now that my youngest is 7 it was time to take care of myself. I went in for a consultation and it was quick. Dr Kelishadi was very honest which I loved. He asked for photos of how I wanted my breast to look. I showed him an old photo of myself when I got it done in 2006. And mentioned to him what I didn't want to happened. I let him do what he think is best because this is his field he knows what's best. Since I was going down for my breast revision and lift I also decided to do a full tummy tuck. It's been 2 months and of course I followed what Dr said. Paying a lot for this service and I am not trying to down under again. I am so happy with my result and definitely recommend every mom out there to invest in yourself after kids. I have nothing to hide because everyone thinks already that I didn't need to do it. But it was for myself. Highly recommend him and his staff is super sweet. I also forgot to mention how I highly recommend my overnight stay at Privé. I booked for one night, but ended up staying two nights just because I love how peaceful it was. The two nurses I had were amazing.

    I have the most respect and appreciation for Dr Kelishadi! I'm very positive no other plastic surgeon could do what he did, he transformed my breast into something Iv always dreamed of. From the office phone calls the office visits, the surgery and the post op follow ups. The staff and Dr were so professional and caring, Dr Sherry called to check up to make sure I was doing good and if I needed anything after surgery. Valerie alway made sure I had the next appointment and was amazing answering any questions I had. Brianna was great at helping me decide what implants looked best on me and it was nice to have her in the OR room. Flying from Canada to Newport for my surgery was the best decision Iv made. Thank you Dr Kelishadi and the whole SSK team!

    I want to express my deepest appreciation for Dr. K and his entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and confident throughout the entire process, from our first consultations to the day of my surgery and post. The level of care and attention I received exceeded all my expectations, I knew I was in good hands. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their clients are treated with the most care I was truly impressed. My experience was absolutely perfect I cannot say enough great things and I'm so thankful I found Dr K at SSK. Now 1 month and 2 weeks post surgery I am healing great and absolutely in love with the results and I couldn't be happier with my new boobs! Literally a dream! I replaced my old implants with new implants, gummy bear 775cc high profile with a lift and the internal mesh bra for that extra cleavage! Dr. K's expertise truly shines through in the results. I highly recommend Dr. K to anyone looking for amazing results with an amazing experience. Thank you once again to Dr. K and the entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery you guys truly are the best!

    My consultation was so thorough! Everyone in the office was so supportive and all of my concerns were addressed. I can't wait for my surgery date!

    Dr. Kelishadi and his team at SSK Plastic Surgery are amazing. I had a breast augmentation and lift a little over 5 weeks ago and I'm already loving my results. As a mom of 3 kids three and under, I'm feeling like myself again and I have my confidence back thanks to Dr. Kelishadi! I did a lot of research looking at different doctors for a breast augmentation in Southern California and I kept coming back to Dr. Kelishadi. His before and after photos were the best and all of the positive reviews on yelp really showed how elite he, and his office staff are. I also like that he responded to any negative reviews he received with thoughtful, informative responses. That showed me truly he cares about his business. I started following SSK Plastic Surgery and a few other offices on Instagram, and he messaged me within 24 hours thanking me for following and asking basic questions. No other offices did this, and I think this is one of the many reasons I decided to go with Dr. Kelishadi for my breast augmentation. From the beginning, he and his staff have been amazing with communication and are always so welcoming and kind. They made sure I was set with medications before surgery so I didn't have to fill prescriptions after. He also made sure I knew about the expectations to rest after surgery so I could receive the best results. Recovery was so easy, and really no pain at all. Just a little discomfort the first few days. Him and his team checked in on me a few times after surgery to make sure I was doing ok and gave me direct numbers to text them if I needed anything. I couldn't be happier with my results. Thank you Dr. Kelishadi!

I noticed that even though my implants were behind the muscle wall, they were beginning to droop on one side where I could actually pinch skin to skin.. I made an appointment with Dr. Dubrow's office.. Within a few weeks, I was able to get an appointment and go in to have my implants removed. Currently with the implants I was a G. Due to having an lumpectomy, I was under the impression that I did not have much of my own breast tissue left and this is why the doctor recommended implants to begin with. But at this point I had had my implants replaced multiple times and continued to have trouble. When I spoke to Dr. Dubrow and his amazing assistant Jackie and explained the trouble that I was having and that I wanted the implants removed. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to attend the consultation due to how fast I was able to get my consultation so we did it over FaceTime. My husband was still hoping for a larger outcome. My expectations were anything healthy. Even if that included a size A cup. After surgery, Jackie had shared my postop surgery report with me. As I expected the chemo and radiation had damaged the tissue in my right breast to the point he had to remove a lot of tissue in order to lift my breasts evenly. Coming out of surgery with the scarring and the stitches , the swelling and everything. I definitely was completely flat chested. But as the days went on, my breast started forming and dropping just as they said they would. I am currently five months postop into my surprise. I am a 34D. Needless to say my husband is extremely happy and so am I. This has been such a wonderful experience and it is all due to a doctor's office. That truly knows what they're doing.

First off, the front desk team and consultation was not pressuring at all. It was very informative and was a clear process from the beginning. Also, the AviClear treatment here was ten times more affordable than any other place I consulted with and with almost no side effects compared to oral acne medication like Accutane. I've been struggling with acne since I was a teenager and finally found a solution! Nima was fantastic the entirety of the treatment regime and helped keep me comfortable the entire time. Within the first two weeks of the first treatment I started seeing clearing and continued seeing additional clearing through the treatment process. It takes a few months after the final (third) treatment for full effects to take place, but I'm already so happy with the results.

I am a reasonable human and if they had told me, the doctor was running late, or had checked on me 10 minutes after leaving me alone in the room to explain that something had suddenly come up , I would've been more forgiving. However, they had asked me simply to continue to wait after 48 minutes. Rude.

Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the outcome of my breast augmentation and with the level of follow-up support afterward. I had surgery on May 5, 2025. Around 4-5 months post-op, I began noticing significant asymmetry developing. By the time I returned for my follow-up appointment in September, the issue had already become very noticeable. At this point, I developed capsular contracture on my left side, causing the breast to feel hard, tight, and unnatural. On the right side, the implant dropped significantly lower than the left, creating visible asymmetry and uneven nipple positioning. I also experienced poor scar healing around my right areola, with the scar remaining thick, raised, and persistently itchy nearly a year later. To be fair, Dr. Kosins did acknowledge the asymmetry during my September appointment, discussed revision options with me, and his office provided information regarding the Allergan warranty coverage. I understand capsular contracture is a known risk of breast augmentation surgery and not necessarily the result of negligence. However, what left me disappointed was the lack of continued follow-up and support afterward. After the initial discussion regarding revision options and warranty information, there was no further outreach, follow-up phone call, scheduling assistance for next steps, or even scheduling of my one-year post-op appointment/check-in. As a patient navigating an upsetting complication less than a year after surgery, that absence of communication left me feeling unsupported and alone in the process. I never expected perfection, and I understand complications can happen with any surgery. But when complications do occur, communication, reassurance, and aftercare matter just as much as the surgery itself. Patients deserve to know not only how successful outcomes are handled, but also how they are supported when results do not go as planned.

    I'm 68 years old. For years I struggled with breathing problems and sleep apnea. I used CPAP but…read morewas tired of being sick and tired. At 66, I had my first rhinoplasty. The surgeon was a triple board-certified plastic surgeon I had known for over 30 years. I trusted him and believed I was in excellent hands. The result was terrible. My breathing worsened and my nose looked unnatural. I lived with that outcome for over two years, trying to rationalize it, but I couldn't. This was my face. It affects how I breathe, how I sleep, and how I feel every day. So I did serious research. What I learned changed everything. Rhinoplasty is not just cosmetic. The nose must function. We are meant to breathe through our noses. When the structure is weakened or obstructed, airflow is compromised. Air must move freely when you inhale and exhale. The internal support has to remain stable so the airway does not collapse. Without that support, you mouth breathe, wake up tired, and constantly feel like you're not getting enough air. I experienced all of it. My research led me to Dr. Aaron Kosins in Newport Beach. Because mine was a revision case -- after my nasal bones had been broken in the first surgery -- preservation rhinoplasty was no longer available to me. I had missed the boat. Preservation rhinoplasty reshapes and repositions the natural structures of the nose instead of aggressively "hammering down" the bridge and rebuilding it from scratch. Dr. Kosins is one of the pioneers in using ultrasonic piezo instrumentation to precisely sculpt nasal bone rather than manually breaking it. This allows refinement of what a patient is born with while improving both appearance and function. Due to the prior damage, significant reconstruction was required, including cartilage taken from my own rib to rebuild and properly support my nose. If I could give one piece of advice: only do a piezo surgery! Dr. Kosins is widely regarded by his peers as a world expert in rhinoplasty, including preservation techniques and complex structural revision cases. Many established surgeons seek out his workshops and cadaver labs to refine advanced techniques. He has the rare ability to communicate directly, thoughtfully, and sincerely. From the first meeting, I knew I was finally in the right hands. And then came the result. It was a knockout. My breathing is excellent. Air moves freely through both sides of my nose when I inhale and exhale. There is no resistance, no collapse, no struggle to get enough air in or out. For the first time in years, breathing feels effortless. Cosmetically, my nose looks natural and balanced -- not artificial or overdone. I also want to acknowledge his team. Risa, the practice manager, was accessible and organized throughout the process. Judy was BEYOND amazing!!! After surgery she called and texted us multiple times a day, every single day, making sure I was doing well. We also had direct access to Dr. Kosins whenever we needed him. I never felt alone or uncertain. Choosing Dr. Aaron Kosins and his team made a major difference in my life, and I am extremely grateful.

    I had consultations with three other surgeons in Beverly Hills before meeting Dr. Lawton and her…read moresurgical coordinator, Erin and from the moment I walked into their office, it just felt different. What truly stood out to me was something so simple but so meaningful. When I asked Erin for her honest opinion about implant choice, she said, "If you were my sister, I would choose these for you." Those few words meant everything to me. In that moment, I felt genuinely cared for,not like a patient, not like a number, but like someone they truly wanted the best for. That's when I knew I was in the right place! It was also such a huge bonus that the entire experience was surrounded by women. There was something so comforting and empowering about that. Dr. Lawton was incredibly gentle, but also realistic about my goals and expectations. She was patient with me when I didn't fully understand certain things and took the time to explain them in different ways until I truly felt confident in my decision. I actually left after my consultation thinking I would take the week to decide. I sat in my car for a few minutes... and then walked right back in to move forward because nothing had ever felt so right or aligned for me. I'm now almost a month post-op, and I could not be happier with my results so far. I love what I'm seeing, and the confidence I've gained is unreal. feels life-changing. My only regret is not finding Dr. Lawton and Erin sooner. I'm beyond grateful for them.

The best decision I've made for myself. Highly recommend Dr. Lawton.

He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and made sure I felt confident and comfortable with my decisions.

His work is natural, beautifully balanced, and incredibly precise. I feel like the best version of myself, refreshed, proportional, and confident without looking overdone.

    My body was ruined, and I have so much regret. I initially left a positive review because I didn't…read morewant them to reach out to me, but I felt it was time I was actually honest. If my words can prevent even one woman from the mental anguish this has brought me then it would be a disservice to remain silent. I had an augmentation with Dr. Bandy a couple years ago and just recently explanted with a different surgeon. I initially chose her because she was the only female surgeon in my area (I did not want a male surgeon) who would give me silicone implants before the required legal age of 22. It was so important to me to look natural and proportionate. I brought in reference photos, and was adamant on 400ccs, yet somehow was convinced to get 700ccs. Nearly double what I wanted. Mind you, I am only 5'3 and 115lbs. I was very unaware that the bra used to try on sizes would make the implants appear smaller, which led to naïvely trusting in the consultant to go bigger. I was then told I needed to size up even further because they would be under the muscle. I was not accurately informed of how the outcome would look and how awful the recovery process would be. There was an all around lack of professionalism, we even had to pay the anesthesiologist under the table. I regretted it immediately and have hated my body for the last two years. I reached out shortly after expressing my regrets and dissatisfaction with the size, but was told I just had temporary buyers remorse and would be fine. I opted not to inform them of my continued dissatisfaction in order to be left alone. I was not fine. I have felt absolutely mutilated and disgusted by my outcome and have been grieving the loss of my natural body ever since. There aren't even words to express the mental anguish that this has brought me. She had to use spacers in order to fit the giant implants into my small frame, which caused significant trauma to my body. Again, the severity of the entire procedure was glossed over and I was reassured by Dr. Bandy and her consultant. But just before the procedure, she said something along the lines of "I don't know if I can fit these in you, but I'll try". I felt the most excruciating pain of my entire life for weeks. One implant bottomed out in less than a year and I had severe animation deformity in both breasts. I also had significant lateral displacement and rippling. I couldn't stand the sight of my body naked or clothed. I felt hideous. I looked extremely disproportionate and suffered all kinds of pain from the 3lb implants. I began to develop breast implant illness within just months of the procedure, which persisted and worsened over time. The only praise I can give is that my scarring was barely detectable. I also had a nipple (not areola) reduction, which she did a good job on. I was finally able to afford an explant with another doctor recently. This surgeon was extremely professional and informative, walking me through every available option and assessing me thoroughly to ensure the best outcome. I decided to only have an explant and muscle repair because I did not want lift scars. She made sure that I was aware of the mental and physical recovery to come, and that I had a support system in place. Her and her team were incredibly caring and empathetic for what happened to me at this practice. By the grace of God, my skin has retracted and my breasts are very similar to what they were before the augmentation. I now bear the explant scars as a reminder that I never needed to permanently alter my beautiful body, especially not in such a brutal and traumatic way as this. If you are wanting a cosmetic procedure, especially a breast augmentation, please research deeply and consult with multiple surgeons. A good surgeon should tell you when something is going to be too traumatic for your body. They will suggest what is proportionate to you and will inform you on everything you need to know. A good surgeon will not upsell you and mutilate you for the sake of money. They will care about your well being and satisfaction. Please, please be diligent in research.

I felt completely comfortable and confident that he understood my goals and could achieve exactly what I wanted. In fact, I allowed him to pick my size and I couldn't be happier. To be honest, I was terrified of the pain and recovery. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it actually was. I had my surgery on a Wednesday, and with the help of Dr. Savalia's pain management regimen and post-op guidance, I was already feeling significantly better by Friday. I didn't need anything, not even Tylenol,after Thursday night. By Monday I was having to stop myself from doing every day things because of how good I felt and back to normal. I truly believe this had everything to do with his surgical technique and extensive experience.

I had a scar under my chin that I wanted removed, Dr. Park said it would also require lifting of my jowls and a fat transplant. In addition, he did surgery on my eyelids. It was a disaster! At first I thought it went well, then the problems became evident. My face is uneven: one side droops because he didn't lift the skin evenly, he didn't put the same amount of fat on both sides making one cheek look bigger than the other, and he gave me a joker's mouth, typical of a botched facelift. I lost my heart-shaped face and look terrible. He also messed up my eyelids. My eyes were my best feature and he ruined them. He ruined my life! As another doctor said, "Double board certified , is about credentials, and it doesn't mean surgical talent". He has no surgical talent. He tried to fix it but couldn't. He simply didn't have the ability. I'm left with an uneven face requiring filler on one side, a joker's mouth, and ,worst of all, my eyes are uneven and according to him can't be fixed. When I pointed out how uneven my face and eyes were, his solution was "show your better side when you're taking a picture". He may have five star reviews but just think how many people are probably out there who had a bad experience with him and won't write a review because they don't want others to know they had cosmetic surgery or because they don't want to publicize a negative experience.
