Let me first start out with I was originally a patient of Dr. Pousti. I cannot believe Dr. Pousti…read moresold his clientelle to Dr. Chou. I'm embarrassed to say I had 5 procedures with Dr. Chou in a matter of 1 yr 1/2 time span and with every procedure there was complications after. It seems like he was initially trying to help but I honestly don't think he's capable of good results. In March of 2022 my 1st surgery with Dr. Chou I developed a capsular contracture within a month. June of 2022 under local did a steroid shot and scrapped scar tissue, this did nothing. Felt like my boob went even higher after that. 2nd surgery was November 2022 changed out right breast implant only, did steroid shot along with a mesh fish skin internal bra and stem cell injection. My boob bottomed out almost immediately afterward. So I went from one boob normal and the other boob really high to super low. I tried to disguise my unevenness for over a year. I thought my body was rejecting the implant so I chose to explant. April 2023 was my explant with capsulectomy. He could not do a lift at the time because my skin was so thin, creapy and I was left with big creases in my flat chest (could fit three fingers inside crease of my boob) I was completely devastated. In July 2023 my 4th surgery I had a lift with fat transfer and I specifically said if I do lipo I want to do the J Plasma type lipo. I don't find out until a week later they he did regular lipo because he said my skin was tighting that I didn't need it. It was very disturbing that a Dr. made a decision with out my consent while I was under. He could have called my husband but didn't. He did end up reimbursing me back for the J Plasma upgrade. After this surgery my breasts were still deformed and asymmetric. None of the fat from the fat transfer stayed. I had what felt like a stone of scar tissue on right boob which was a sermona. During this time these problems really affected my self confidence. For 2 years it was not a good outcome and felt like I was still masking the problem. During the time from my very 1st surgery to my last with Dr Chou I went in prob over 80 times to get ultrasound treatments on boob and I have to say the only thing good about this office is that the girls are nice. I decided not to give up on myself and explore other doctors after all the procedures with Dr. Chou. I didn't want one doctors failure to discourage me. I got another fat transfer in April 2024 with a new Doctor and now my boobs are even with no problems. Turns out I still had my capsules in my boobs which I thought they were taken out with my April 2023 explant ( I requested a few times after explant to see pictures and never recieved) and also had a detached pec muscle. My new dr said that as soon as he took capsules out my boobs released and dead fat from my previous fat transfer was stuck to the capsules along with a bunch of blue sutchers (not dissolvable) left inside of me. I do not recommend Dr. Chou.

I saw Dr. Chao for an explant & lift about 6 months ago and it had to have been one of the best…read moredecisions of my life. A little backstory - I had breast implants for about 12 years and truthfully after year 5 or so I started to feel they didn't look good, had gotten bigger, were not lifted anymore and just didn't suit my small frame. I went back to my original plastic surgeon about 2 years ago and told him I hated my breasts and was considering just removing them. He convinced me that all I needed was a lift and we could put a new implant in but that it wouldn't look good if I removed the implant entirely. So of course, I was convinced and went through with the surgery hoping and praying I'd love my new (smaller) breasts. Fast forward a few months, my breasts looked the EXACT same. They didn't look any smaller, the lift had barely done much and I just internally felt so defeated and depressed about it. I kept trying to convince myself this is just the body I have to deal with now but ultimately I was so unhappy. About 7 months ago, I researched new surgeons and found Dr. Chao. Upon meeting with him he actually LISTENED to what I had been through & what I actually wanted. He asked me to show him images of what I physically wanted my breasts to look like and that was that of a small B cup. He told me he completely understood and he WOULD get me to look exactly like my inspo photos. I felt so relieved and excited. He ended up removing the implants, capsule & did a lift. Immediately coming out of the surgery I remember waking up, looking down and terrified that it would look the same. When I looked down this time although swollen post surgery, I could have jumped with joy because they were significantly smaller. I couldn't believe it. Fast forward 6 months I now have the EXACT breasts I wanted - a small B cup. The breasts are actually lifted this time and look BETTER than when I had implants although the previous surgeon told me they would never look good. Long story short - I am so grateful for Dr. Chao who actually LISTENED to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. I've truly never been happier in my skin.

I've been going here for years, but unfortunately things have become very disorganized recently…read more A few months ago they changed their appointment system, and my appointment was apparently lost in the transition. I even received a text confirming the appointment, but when I arrived I was told I didn't actually have one because it hadn't been entered into the "correct" system. Today was even more confusing. I went for my next appointment and ended up being bounced between their old location and their new one with no guidance whatsoever. I thought the sign at the old location says the new location will open on March 19, which led me to believe they were still operating out of the old space. However, when I arrived the doors were locked. Apparently the new location was open as of January 19, but there was no clear communication or signage explaining where to go or what was actually happening when I went to the new location either. This was especially frustrating because I made my appointment around or shortly after the time they had moved and no one thought to tell me that I would need to go to a new location. (Maybe I'm expecting too much to be proactively informed that the office has moved after I've been going to the same office for eight years or so.) It's frustrating because this used to be a reliable place, but right now the lack of organization and communication makes it very difficult just to figure out where you're supposed to be.

Within just six months, they turned blue--and I've spent the last 33 years covering them up, feeling like there was no real solution. Thanks to today's technology (and some courage), I finally decided to look into having them removed. Honestly, I wasn't very hopeful. I didn't think anything could really help after all this time. But wow--just one laser treatment in, and I am already seeing real results. I've attached a before and after photo (the "after" is just a few hours post-treatment), and I can't stop staring at it. Dr. Ellyn is amazing--so knowledgeable, honest, and reassuring from the very start. She told me what to expect, didn't make any false promises, and treated me with such kindness and professionalism. I know I'll need a few more sessions, but for the first time in decades, I feel hopeful and excited. They also offer many other treatments for skin rejuvenation, so if you're thinking about refreshing your look, this is the place to go. Highly recommend. Thank you, Dr. Ellyn!

Permanent eyebrows can really mess up someone if they aren't done correctly. I am sure you have seen women walking around with a bad eyebrow job. Barb takes her time and doesn't rush the job. She is definitely a perfectionist and an artist. She draws on what you are going to look like so you have a good idea about the results. I have referred friends and they are always happy with the results. If I wanted any other permanent make up done, I will not see anyone else but Barb. Barb has a medical background so everything is spotless. When you book an appointment she tells you about which meds you need to not take before the procedure. This my second trip to Barb's and I know that it won't be the last. Thanks, Barb for another satisfied client! M~

I met a woman who had permanent lipstick and eyeliner and the look was soft and natural. She referred me to Barbara at Permanent Cosmetic Artistry and it was a great find! I had permanent lip color done and I look fresh and natural. I chose a nice pink color to match my skin. I can still wear lipstick over it to change the shade of lipstick if I want a change. I trusted Barbara and found her to be safe, professional and the setting was as clean as an Operating Room. It helped that I had seen her product on another woman who was fair skinned. Pricing is slightly higher than some of the nail places and hair salons that I researched but the safety and talent are worth it when it comes to something I look at everyday. I love getting up and seeing color in my lips versus looking pale. Best thing I have done for myself and it makes getting ready fast and easy. Update 7/10. When I do sports I do not have lipstick all over my water bottles. I am saving money on lipstick and I figure that over the next few years the savings will pay for the cost of the procedure. Also, I forgot to mention that she numbed me so well so that I experienced no discomfort. She is amazing and talented. I love looking bright 24/7.
