    Website listed that they are offering rhinoplasty and chatted with Gwen and told that I will receive a call or I can email to schedule an appointment. Emailed them and Kelly Tran replied back saying that they don't offer rhinoplasty at this time. This is so misleading.

    I'm not one to leave a review to complain. But I just thought others should know my experiences. I had the cellulite treatment QWO on my buttocks(can only be done on the butt) and it left me with huge permanent blackish spots where the bruising used to be. I was not told that that was going to be a possibility. Was told that they'll be bruising but it'll go away. Not my butt looks like I have huge blackish birthmarks(the size of my fist). I'm seriously so sadden by this. I don't know if I can ever wear a bikini anymore without being self conscious. And they can't even do anything about it:( I also had the Miradry procedure to get rid of my underarm sweating. Spent bout $2300 and no change. Also so sad bout this cause I was under the impression that it'll be gone after one time. They said the second time around they'll use baking powder to specifically target the sweat gland to make sure they get it. I don't understand why that wasn't done the first time!!! Overall, I came here thinking I can solve couple of my beauty flaws. Instead I'm left with blacken scars and nothing fixed. I'm in tears whenever I see my backside:'( if I can post it, I would. But it's definitely not for the public. I did however, post my armpits after the Miradry treatment. I still sweat the same. Pls reconsider if you're doing these procedures.

    Dr. Jerome Liu is absolutely trustworthy, professional and the most humble/ smartest doctor I've ever met. The attached photos speak a million words about his work but finding the right surgeon was not easy. I will talk about my experiences with other plastic surgeons in this next paragraph. Dr. Liu was my 4 consultation with a plastic surgeon and I've never felt so comfortable. My first consultation, the doctor tried to say I needed full body lipo to make sure that when I gained weight, the fat would distribute well throughout the body and not in awkward places (keep in mind this was 3 years ago when I was at least 30 pounds lighter). She also had concerns about my skin laxity on my upper stomach and she recommended that I didn't do lipo on my upper stomach. My second consult the doctor saw me for a minute and he said I was the perfect candidate for lipo. He said he would take care of everything even though skin laxity was a bit of a problem. The consult felt rushed and I felt like the doctor didn't listen to my concerns or find the best procedure for me. He was a very popular plastic surgeon but made me feel weird, just the vibe I got so I gave up on my cosmetic surgery goals for a few years. It was too stressful and I was confused. Both the doctors were extremely cocky (or maybe they were trying to be confident) and I felt like they were looking down upon me. My third consult was with a very expensive about to retire doc that basically quoted me 13K not including surgery center fees and not including anesthesiology fees. Omg, I was completely shocked. He said the surgery would take 4 hours for full stomach lipo, full back lipo and lipo on my love handles. He marked me all up during my consult so I felt confident in his work but he stressed me out because he was talking through everything he was going to do. During all my consults including Dr. Liu's I just felt like the before and after pictures were average. I wasn't super impressed to be honest so I lost hope again. NOTE: none of these docs even spoke to me about fat transfer to the butt or boobs. Any younger patient would love to have a bigger butt (well at least in my opinion). Okay, now let's talk about how amazing Dr. Liu is and how much I love him. Dr. Liu cares about his patients and gives you the right advise. We didn't even talk about safety much since he has never had a problem with his patients under surgery. You can tell that safety is the number one priority for Dr. Liu by just the way he talks. During the consultation, Dr. Liu just listened and asked questions then listened some more. He doesn't say much but when he talks it's like wow life changing. We talked about my skin laxity concerns that other surgeons implanted in my head. Dr. Liu said that I'm young with very nice thick skin so skin laxity isn't a problem. We talked about gaining weight in the future and that's when he recommended fat transfer to the butt or boobs. Fat transfer is very important when doing liposuction procedures because the fat that is removed is liquid gold and if you don't use it - you lose it. Fat transfer is like an insurance plan for your liposuction procedure. Not only does it help the surgeon contour your body, but if you gain weight in the future, the fat cells transferred have memory and you will most likely not gain weight in weird places like your arms or calves. Genius!!! So we decided that liposuction + BBL (fat transfer to the butt) was the perfect procedure for me. The surgery was 3.5 hours and the results are unbelievable. I want to mention that my patient care coordinator Beth is so so so great. She's so energetic and happy all the time. She got me so excited for my surgery and helped me with financing since cosmetic surgery is expensive (Dr. Liu is very reasonable with pricing procedures). Thank you Beth for following up with me and scheduling the surgery prior to COVID-19 epidemic or else I probably wouldn't have reached up until Fall or even next year. I hope my story can help you find your surgeon and definitely know that Dr. Jerome Liu is crazy good.

    Nearly three years ago, I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast lift with implant…read morereplacement), and choosing Dr. Maser at Reveal Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I've made. Before moving forward, I consulted with about half a dozen plastic surgeons across the Bay Area. Dr. Maser stood out immediately as the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and honest. He wasn't trying to "sell" me anything. No add-ons, no unnecessary procedures--just a clear, thoughtful approach focused on what would actually deliver the best outcome for me. That alone was refreshing. From start to finish, the level of care from Dr. Maser, his nurse, and the entire office was exceptional. Every detail was handled, every question answered, and the follow-up was just as strong as the prep. The whole experience felt seamless and incredibly well run. And the results? Truly incredible. The kind where you quietly think, why didn't I do this sooner? I also want to call out the transparency and integrity of the practice. Other offices quoted extremely high prices and then followed up with repeated calls offering slight discounts to try to win my business. Reveal was the complete opposite--one fair, straightforward price from the start. No games, no gimmicks. I've continued to go back to Reveal for Botox and facial laser treatments with Hollie, and the experience has been consistently excellent. They never push treatments or try to oversell--everything is thoughtful, appropriate, and tailored. It's honestly refreshing. After my last treatment (just last Friday), they sent me home with a cooling face mask, a handheld fan and a cute hat--which honestly felt like the spa version of a mic drop. Such a fun, thoughtful touch. You leave every visit feeling confident, cared for, and like your best self, and I genuinely look forward to going back.

She never apologized or explained the delay, and I don't understand why they agreed to move my appointment earlier if they were already overbooked. I wasted a lot of time on a busy day. It's unfortunate because Dr. Struck is wonderful, but some of his staff made the experience very disappointing.

    I chose Dr. Struck after my cousin highly recommended him and told me he was a great surgeon. As an…read moreAfrican American woman with melanin-rich skin, I made it very clear during my consultation that keloids run in my family and that I was concerned about scarring after surgery. Dr. Struck assured me that it would not be a problem and that I would heal well. Trusting his expertise, I moved forward with a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Looking back, I feel like it was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. After surgery, I had to return to multiple office locations because stitches were left in both my breasts and my stomach for months. My surgery was in early January, and I was told the stitches would dissolve. Instead, some had to be removed, and others continued working their way out over the next 3 to 6 months. This left my incisions inflamed, irritated, and delayed my healing. I don't know whether someone in training was involved in my care, but the experience was very frustrating. I paid approximately $17,000 in cash for my procedures. Today, I have keloid scars around my nipples, across my stomach, and around my waist. I am embarrassed to wear crop tops or anything that shows my stomach because of how noticeable the scars are. I reached out to Dr. Struck several times to express how devastated I felt and how much my confidence had been affected. It often felt like my concerns were dismissed. Within the first year after surgery, one of my breast implants became hard. Initially, I was told there was nothing that could be done and that it would likely stay that way. Eventually, he did perform another surgery, and thankfully my breast is now soft again, which I truly appreciate. However, the keloid scarring remains. Because I specifically informed Dr. Struck before surgery that I was at high risk for keloids, I expected that concern to be taken seriously and factored into my treatment. I wish more precautions had been taken, or that I had been told if I was not a good candidate for the procedure. I am sharing my experience so that others--especially patients with melanin-rich skin who are prone to keloid scarring--will ask detailed questions and fully understand the risks before moving forward. My hope is that future patients who express these concerns receive the time, attention, and care they deserve.

    This review is for Alice and the front office team that helped me out on my first visit here…read more Walking in everyone who helped me complete paperwork was very friendly and helpful, definitely helped to be greeted with nice smiling faces especially when you're about to get poked and prodded , hehe. I was led to a private room fairly quickly, though I did make an appointment, Alice's assistant helped me complete consent forms and paperwork and then Alice joined me afterwards. I came in for some Botox today and mentioned I was unhappy with my current Medspa because I feel like my injections have not been lasting long and also feel like the injector have been missing spots that I had concerns about. Alice was very knowledgeable and recommended Daxxify to me and even explained the science behind it (though it flew over my head even though I nodded and made "mmhmm" sounds" ) and it was very much appreciated. However, I was sold on how much quicker it takes effect and also the pureness of the toxin. And Alice was right ! 2 days later my 11s are gone completely and you might well call me Elsa because I am FROZEN ! (In a good way lol) Alice was also helpful in suggesting other procedures for my other concerns that I will definitely be coming back for !

She even got me few samples to try out before our facial session so I could see if it worked for me and buy them if needed. The office itself is very nice and all equipments looked new and clean. Excited to book my first session and will update my review after that as well!

    This review is long overdue! First, I have to express my gratitude & respect for Dr. Lisa Hwang…read morefor her expertise, gentle care throughout the process, eye for details and is no doubt the whole package. I have been interested in a breast augmentation along with other breast changes for years as no matter what I did with my yo-yo weight loss journey my breasts remained to be a big concern. Last year, I was at a point of frustration with my breasts and pulled info for 2 surgeons. Two appointments were made with both surgeons and fortunately, the first appointment was scheduled with Dr. Lisa Hwang. I was nervous and anxious but I was ready for a change. After my initial consultation, Dr. Lisa Hwang who listened to my concerns/ wishes and answered all my many questions. She also presented all my options, reviewed the whole process step by step to post surgery recovery schedule and after conversing through it all, I felt confident I found my surgeon to do my boob job and scheduled surgery date a couple of weeks later. Surgery Day - I was ready! I was excited and had anxiety, too. Once Dr. Hwang walked into the room, I became calm and relieved where she started to outline my breasts for surgical prep. I had confidence in Dr Hwang's attention to detail and she truly understood what I wanted in the final results and executed it on point. Post Surgery - I will not lie that I was in discomfort, cried, struggled and hated most my restricted sleep position as part of the healing process but had to follow through on doctors instructions. Dr. Hwang was amazing. We were communicating daily via text and via the secure web platform where I uploaded breast pics, too. I felt I was in genuine care with Dr. Hwang and her responses were exactly what I needed - prompt, thoughtful, thorough and clear. I did experience a hiccup in the healing process for a breast a few weeks post surgery which is not uncommon and had to undergo a mini surgery to remedy the issue which was completed in her office. After this procedure, the healing went much more smoothly and without altering the breast aesthetic too much for it to be noticeable. It's 7 months post surgery and I'm so pleased with the final results and so is my longtime boyfriend, too! I'm so happy and in I love that my breasts have enhanced my body silhouette. I can see my waistline! If anyone is looking for a female surgeon with integrity, trustworthy, an expert and knowledgeable in her field and genuinely cares for her patience, Dr. Lisa Hwang is the doctor of choice. Dr. Hwang is a friend for life. Thank you so much, Dr. Lisa Hwang.

    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hwang. From the very first consultation, I felt heard,…read morerespected, and genuinely cared for. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, which made me feel confident and comfortable moving forward. The surgeon is incredibly skilled, professional, and detail-oriented. My results look natural and exceeded my expectations. The care didn't stop after surgery either -- follow-up appointments were attentive, and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and kindly. I would highly recommend Dr. Hwang to anyone considering a breast augmentation. You're truly in expert hands here.
