Most importantly, Dr. Smoot is amazing! I could not recommend him and his team enough! I feel a sense of connection to him because his brother (Dr. Wendell Smoot) did my very first breast augmentation 20 years ago at LJCSC so who else better to choose as your surgeon! I went to his office for a consultation regarding removing my 20 year old saline implants and replacing with silicone. I still wanted a very natural look but at the same time go a little bigger and be able to notice it. He took the time to listen to my concerns and my hopes for the outcome of my procedure. He recommends what's best for your body type so you have the best natural results as possible and I LOVE how absolutely honest he is. I trusted him 100% and he gave me the exact results that I wanted. From my initial consult, to my pre-op, to my surgery day, to my post-op's, everything just went so smoothly! In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.

I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.

It felt very intimidating to even consult about the procedure and I avoided it for years. When I went to my first consultation at Dr. Umansky's, I had a total shift from intimidated to excited and confident. The whole team was so kind, supportive and knowledgable and also very personable. I felt like they each cared about me as a person and truly got to know me before my procedure. My friends who have had breast augmentations always said, "I wish I had just done this years ago" and I have to say I am SO glad I did this procedure when I did as I felt beautiful on my wedding and am loving my body post-accident again. Literally every single person - from the front desk, consultants, anesthesiologist to the woman who gave me a complimentary facial - were all just fantastic. Dr. Umansky really seems like the best of the best - he couldn't be any nicer and he really took the best care of me. I would recommend him to anyone. I could not be happier with my experience or my results. This is definitely the place to go!

I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

I just have to come on here and give huge praise to my amazing surgeon, Dr. Torres!…read more I had Lipo 360 and a BBL done by Dr. Torres in February, I couldn't be happier with my results! The entire clinic team is so kind, and Dr. Torres is truly an artist. That kind of artistry is absolutely essential in cosmetic surgery, and not every surgeon has it. He's incredibly talented, meticulous, and patient. He even took extra time to fix the uneven, sloppy work from my previous surgeon. Now I finally have a beautifully sculpted, balanced silhouette. Every time I look in the mirror, I smile and feel so grateful. Before my surgery, I was super anxious about anesthesia -- I kept thinking, What if I don't wake up? What if I never see my kids again? That's why I decided to do awake lipo, and I'm so thankful I chose Dr. Torres. The procedure itself was honestly a breeze. You're just lying there, it almost feels like getting a massage, and by the time it's over, your body is beautifully contoured. If you're worried about pain, don't be. You won't feel a thing during the procedure. I know if I ever gain weight again, I'll be flying straight to San Diego to see Dr. Torres in a heartbeat. Thank you, Dr. Torres, for your amazing work! You are the best!! (Picture attached, I'm in my Halloween costume )

I cannot rave enough about my experience at Skin & Skinnier with Dr. Torres…read more Walking into such a major procedure like Lipo 360 with BBL, I'll admit I was nervous. But after doing extensive research and seeing literally zero negative comments about Dr. Torres, I felt confident I would be in safe hands. From the moment I arrived, Rachel and Jill at the front desk set the tone. Their bubbly, positive energy was genuine, not forced, and they went out of their way to connect with me and reassure me. That kind of vibe when you first walk in is priceless. The office itself is boutique-style but pristine, modern, organized, and very up-to-date. Dr. Torres himself is not only skilled but also cool. That matters because he made me feel like he truly understood what I was looking for and he wasn't applying a one-size-fits-all approach. He spent time explaining, reassuring, and making me feel completely confident in his plan. On the day of surgery, everything flowed with great energy. I felt cared for the entire time. Dr. Torres even spent an extra hour on my procedure just to make sure my results were perfect, above and beyond what I expected. Healing was smooth, but what stood out most was how attentive he and his team were when I had a minor wound issue (no fault of Dr. Torres) but just a personal healing situation. Instead of brushing it off, Dr. Torres cleared space in his schedule so I could come in every three days until it was resolved. That level of dedication blew me away. Also they referred me to one of the best massage therapists in the city. And the aftercare? Phenomenal. Tiffany, one of Dr. Torres' nurses, was always a text away. She responded quickly, asked for updates and photos, and made me feel like I had 24/7 support. That kind of access and reassurance makes such a difference when you're healing from a big procedure. Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. My body is snatched. I look like I've been in the gym doing squats for months, but it's all thanks to Dr. Torres' artistry. The results are natural, proportionate, and flawless. People can't even tell it's surgery, it just looks that good. If you're considering Skin & Skinnier, don't hesitate. Dr. Torres and his team are unmatched. The professionalism, the genuine care, and the results are everything. Highly, highly recommend!

I was a long-time patient at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and exclusively saw Dr. Loyal, who has since left the practice. I then booked with Dr. Sabrina Fabi for the first time, influenced by her large social media presence and how the front desk emphasized how hard it is to get an appointment with her. For context, I'm very experienced with Botox and have had it done many times in the same areas without issue. At this visit, I received Botox in my masseters, crow's feet, under-eye bag line, 11s, and forehead. None of these areas were new for me. Dr. Fabi arrived about 40 minutes late, which I was told is "typical." That night, I developed large, visible lumps in my masseters and additional bumps near my temples when opening my mouth. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I returned to the office two days later and was told it was "normal" and that Botox takes two weeks to settle. By the time of my follow-up appointment nearly a week later, my appearance was extremely abnormal. The best way I can describe it is that I looked like a mix between Chiseled Squidward and Quasimodo. I pay a premium to go to a cosmetic dermatology practice because this is my face, and I expect expertise, precision, and accountability. At the follow-up, I felt dismissed and gaslit. While the masseter issue was acknowledged, my main concern was new bumps near my eyes that I never had before. Dr. Fabi insisted they were always there, which is simply not true. I have clear before photos. When I said I felt my before looked better, her response was, "Oh, with your hooded eyes?" That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional. It has now been over a week since the follow-up and the bumps are still present. I paid $1,500 and feel worse about my appearance than when I walked in. Botox has risks, but the lack of ownership and dismissal of my concerns is why I won't be returning. I'll be sharing photos so others can make an informed decision.

My previous surgeon had retired, so I had to start from scratch and find a new surgeon.

And, being a registered nurse myself, I will tell you that I am extremely particular. He fixed everything and the results are incredible.

She is also extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I had the appropriate medications for after my surgery. Tricia, his surgical coordinator, was super responsive and communicated all the necessary pre op information. The office staff are always welcoming and friendly.
