Please enjoy this awkward photo of my uneven forehead Botox.
Ali G.

I was in here 6/5 and I got some horrible crooked Botox from a VERY rude and unpleasant injector. my original appointment was at the Irvine location where I always felt rushed but it was a good price and they did a decent job. Apparently some drama happened and my appointment was moved to the Huntington Beach location. After a long wait (clearly they triple+ book people) I was explaining my various concerns to the injector about just little things that happened here and there (ie: I don't want my face to look droopy, can I have a little more in this area, etc) and she clasped her hands and condescendingly said "let me educate you on how this works". I was shocked.. we moved on and I just let her do her job. 6 days later, the "Botox bumps" are finally going away (!!) and my face is crooked. You can see the injection site bumps and they are not centered on my forehead. I have clear areas where you can see it's smooth and frozen and then a weird gap where my forehead wrinkles. I called to hopefully get this corrected since I got more than I usually do this last appointment- so how am I significantly less frozen?? Well turns out they are closed. Not answering the phone. They ask for a text and promise a prompt response but I have texted both numbers I have as well as called the main line multiple times and it appears these scam artists have stolen the money I prepaid and aren't going to fix their terrible work. I guess that's what I get for going to a place that always has sales on their services.

Sad to see them go down this way. It was a great place at first

I feel bad for this business and everyone that worked or works there currently. It started off really good, the receptionists made you feel like a queen and the nurses were super friendly and welcoming. Some of them were very talented and now they're closed they have a lot of drama going on. Who knows what the actual truth is but I'm glad I didn't prepay my last service I was about to submit my payment almost 2 weeks ago but something didn't feel right so I told them I'd call back. Glad I did that, I hear people are having a hard time getting their refunds. Check out their Instagram for updates but don't expect them to answer to any of your questions. They only do the marketing part.

You can see here...it's been months! I've been working on this via EMAIL IN DECEMBER!!!

Not sure what is going on, but I still have not been refunded since the scam. I've been told that I can exchange my credit for some products in the office...however, the office ignores my calls (puts me on hold and hangs up), does not reply to emails or text messages. Please message me if you are in the same boat. DO NOT go here. This is a scam/fraud. Taking hundreds from each patient. It's been several months since anyone has responded. I've attached photos here. This has been ongoing since DECEMBER 2022 (I have email threads). Took steps to report to the DCA - consumer fraud. Not sure what else we can do. Update: they blocked my phone number and blocked me on Instagram!! Be aware of this office!!! They owe many patients refunds but decides to block them so they do not have to refund.

First time trying anything out like this and although I'm still waiting to see how it will look after the swelling I'm pretty sure I'm going to like the results. From the moment I was making my appointment Courtney (sorry if I didn't spell it correctly) talked to me and actually FaceTimed me to see what would suit me best. Once I arrived I was greeted and filled out some consents and was placed in a room right away. Regine was the one to work on me and she was amazing! She definitely made me feel comfortable and always explained herself or what the next step would be. She made sure to assure me that the syringes were unopened or expired. I got the under eye treatment and lip fillers with a lip flip. I'll definitely be back, Regine did mention she's not usually at this location so I'll make sure to book in advance for a day they have her on the schedule. Thank you for making my first time a good one! Ps: parking is not validated but I was told there's a parking lot nearby where I guess it's free ‍ I was there around 9:00ish and left around 10:30ish and paid $7.50

This place has no reputation, do not pre order anything!! They close down, tell u ur going to get ur money back and the. After the 40 days they tell u to wait then tells u that ur not getting ur refund. Then tells u you can schedule but wants a credit card on file just in case ur late or don't show up then they charge u. Like first of all u have lied, committing fraud, and now u want my card Info to try and get more money! Do not trust this company! Unless u want to lose out hundreds of dollars!

Just got my lips and nose done with them and they were amazing! The finish look was amazing I can't stop staring at myself -not like I couldn't stop before anyway. The staff was super nice and helpful. The injector was a sweetheart and she was so gentle and caring. I got it done at the height of Omicron and they were so safe, they all had their masks on and were super safe and sanitary.

Super accommodating front staff, knowledgeable medical nurses and awesome results, more importantly. I got my mommy makeover here 2yrs, and absolutely love my results Thank you Nurse Stephanie R, Rose and Marissa at the front, and consultant Britney! Fire work xo

Brittni S.

OMG! 1. I love my results 2. Nicole was the sweetest 3. The whole staff is so caring. I came in for a few injections I've never gotten injections I was super nervous. Nicole explained everything to me she made sure I was comfortable. At one point during my lip injections I felt light headed and uncomfortable. She stopped gave me water the staff brought me candy and a snack gave me a few minutes to recollect myself. And she continued a few minutes later. She made me feel so comfortable. I really appreciate that she took time to explain and gave me a breather. So KIND!

Top photo is before, bottom photo is 3 days after getting kysse filler.

This review is for the kysse lip filler I had at the Huntington Beach location. Parking is a limited at this location but I always managed to get an open spot. Staff are really friendly and professional. They directed me to a side mirror and gave me numbing cream for my lips and then had me wait back in the waiting hall. I liked how that gave me ample time for the cream to take effect and my lips to be completely numb. It is painful, I'm not going to lie. But you can handle it! They also provide little massage balls if you need to hold onto something. I just kept concentrating on deep breathing to minimize the pain. Immediately after i got the filler, I regretted it because my lips were soo swollen and I felt silly talking. But don't worry because I'm on day 3 and the bruising and swelling has minimized and I'm really liking how my lips look now. And just remember you're always going to be your worst critic.I recommend taking arnica pills (available at Target) if you want the swelling to decrease right away. My lips still feel soft and natural. I highly recommend getting the upgrade to Kysse. Im providing a before and after photo--The darker red mark on bottom lip is a small bruise (I unfortunately got a bunch of small bruises all over my lips, but they're starting to fade). I recommend getting a matte lipstick to conceal the bruising.

The best nurse anyone could ever ask for who takes her time to explain everything in detail and has the magic touch, Nurse Caresse..
Melody T.

Thanks to my daughter's treat, I was willing to make the drive from Chino Hills to Huntington Beach to get lip injections and I'm beyond thrilled we made the drive although it's worth mentioning they have other locations in Downey, Irvine and San Clemente... I was so nervous to get my lips done since years ago I had a horrible experience which was passing out from the pain but this time was a breeze thanks to the most amazing Nurse, Caresse who not only took her time to listen to my wants and needs but to assure me that I was in good hands which I was... She is the BEST and unlike my last experience at a different Spa years ago, not only did it not hurt but I didn't get dizzy and pass out either... I look forward to having more work done and if you sign up for their membership, you get the best deals which are so much cheaper than different spas close to my house!!! This facility is beautiful, clean and everybody is so nice!!!

Lips
Kimberly H.

I am so happy with my service at the image center. I've been getting my lips done now for a few years and I've tried like 3 other places aside from here. My goal is usually just a more volume look. My top lip is also smaller than my bottom lip so I always let whoever my nurse is know that concern, but today I had nurse Stephanie here and she really made me feel super comfortable and like she heard my concerns. She gave me a few suggestions that no other nurse had ever really given me. She also gave me a littler massager to distract me while she was injecting me. She was super sweet and informative!! Overall really satisfied with my visit today! I added some photos I love my lips so much. Their a bit swollen rn though.

Shady shady I was promise a  refund

The email I received after multiple calls asking for my lip filler refund I was DENIED and offer to used my lips fillers for any other service I called the Huntington Beach location to book a appointment next month for my botox I'm due soon what could possible go wrong with botox but after looking at all the reviews about crooked uneven botox I will Cancel my appt I just filed a complaint to the BBB they have over 15 complaints hopefully we all get our refund I was promised a refund when downey shut down and now they are being super shady this place horrible please be careful Hope I could find nurse sue or angeline they were the best and J*ne as well she was the one running this place smoothly

Clean and super cute injection room.

Jane was amazing at clarifying and working thru any concerns I had prior to surgery. I was the first appointment of the day and actually ended up on the operating table earlier than expected.

He was not only very friendly but he went over everything, answered any questions without making me feel rushed, and kept me in a positive frame of mind right up until the moment I fell asleep. So glad I choose Dr Newen and The Image Center.

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!…read more This is what Dr. Newen's poor surgical technique caused to my wife's breasts from a botched breast augmentation that he performed a couple of years ago. Besides being a jerk that has poor bedside manner and avoids seeing his patients after deposits and payments are made, he is a terrible surgeon. The specialist who removed the extensive scarring from my wife's breast said he does many revisions on patients that have work done by Dr. Newen. To have capsular contracture to both breast to this extent, demonstrates poor sterile surgical technique. Go to a real plastic surgeon that knows what he or she is doing. Dr. Newen is a horrible pompous human being and poorly skilled surgeonI am in the process of reporting his practice to the Medical Board that licenses him.

He will provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision, from my very first consultation with him I just knew he was the right surgeon for me and I am very happy I chose him as my surgeon. He is a good person, and very personable. He will treat you as if you are his only patient. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Miller, he actually cares for his patients and doesn't wait for you to ask questions once you are discharged from surgery. As a person who has previous surgeries I have never had a surgeon following up with me after a procedure and Dr Miller made sure to follow up with me himself right away just to make sure things were well with me and to answer any questions I may have had. I strongly recommend Dr Miller for any cosmetic surgeries and I'll definitely go back to him if I ever consider another surgery. Also Nicole his receptionist/intake coordinator is the most sweetest and kindest person I've ever met just like Mr. Miller They are such a great team and such a blessing to me.

I originally had small, symmetrical, slightly saggy breasts. After surgery, I was left with: -Uneven breasts (one visibly larger than the other) -Nipples pointing in different directions -Immediate infection around nipples that healed horribly- left scars -Continued sagging I walked out more insecure than before. Now, years later, I have to undergo a costly revision with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The damage is so extensive that the revision will cost triple what my original surgery cost. To make matters worse, when my new surgeon requested Dr. Miller's operative report, it was vague and unusable as a surgical blueprint. Important note: Dr. Miller is not a board-certified plastic surgeon -- he is only certified in general surgery. If you value your mental and physical health, do not make the mistake I did. Save yourself the emotional and financial pain and find a properly trained, board-certified plastic surgeon.

I went in for awake chin liposuction. He did a deliberate botch surgery ...never wanting anyone to go on my face...predatory battery in order to try to sell the facelift they kept pushing when I said no, and none of the records say it was discussed except their quote written by his wife's instruction to give to me "a deal if done on the same day". He made the jowels look bigger, and uneven fat removal, and fat separation up to the cheeks and indentations on my jawline. This also caused nerve damage so I can't smile normally still after 3 months my mouth cramps up randomly, eat with biting my lip, etc...have to do physical therapy. He refused to refer me or admit to what everyone else sees. He said it will be 8 weeks to get my mouth back..more lies. In post op he tried lying and argued he didn't go on my face and said "it would be dangerous", said it is referred pain and numbness... I said I have photos of Canula marks and a big lump on my face above my jawbone. He then lied and said "he meant he didn't go up to the cheek". He falsified medical records saying I had no complaints and my mouth works fine in post op. Zero consultation records. He didn't even include the perscribed Rx he gave me or OTC Rx to take home in his records! He contradicted his own aftercare instructions in capital letters. He didn't give me compression for what i went in for, and when asked, shrugged his shoulders like he didn't know. After surgery I had to text the question again, and ask about icing and exercise because he was too busy to talk to me after surgery. Gave no instructions in text either! Plus his negligence of my medical needs caused an Adams Apple because he "was too busy at his other office". A saroma, as stated in paperwork, should have been expressed, and he admitted he does sometimes but never asked me to go in to get it evaluated after several texts begging. So it hardened. He told me to get (long and painful) professional lymphatic massages to fix it...doesn't work. That drastically loosened my neck skin. other surgeons say I will get my smile back after a year 90% and only a facelift will help or filler is ongoing forever. Just a few days after post op he posted a long novel choreographed video with staff saying "this is what plastic surgeons do"... he's not even a plastic surgeon! He is a gynocologist! He false advertised good after 1 week, but texted me the big black sutures fall out after 2-3 weeks. In post op texts he said it will be 8 weeks to 6 months to be healed!! also tried selling tightening when the smart lipo says it tightens without anything else. He admitted in post-op he deliberately scraped my jaw bone 5-10 times on the one side (where they took thier illegal promotional video during surgery-i opted out of any pics or videos, and he put his logo on my pics!) he told me to try to move fat from the other side to the scraped side to fix it now. ..didn't offer to fix anything, even at a reduced rate like his paperwork says. He also ignored my anesthesia needs, and others have reviewed he's done that to them as well. he lied his numbing is stronger than the dentist, but his records show its just lidocane (the same), saline and a vasoconstrictor...so I felt the canula jabbing me the entire time for an hour. I told the nurse (his wife) that would happen unless they get septocane...the doctor lied in pre-op his "is stronger than the dentist". He admitted in post op the face muscles caused my mouth to be so bad and if he would have only done the neck this wouldn't be happening. Well since I'm in customer service and smiling and talking is everything to me, He will be sued and reported to the medical board if not settled ASAP! Future surgery pain and suffering and destroyed plans for this entire year and a half before I'm allowed to get revisions. Obviously not a compassionate doctor award winner like they tell us.

I had such a positive experience and couldn't be happier with my results so far (surgery 4-7-26)…read more The doctor was incredibly attentive, took the time to listen to my concerns, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. What really stood out was how genuinely concerned he was about the condition of my implant and his commitment to doing what was best for my health--not just cosmetically, but overall. The office staff were equally impressive (Manoosh, Cynthia, Shannon)--professional, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The entire office has such great energy, which makes every visit a pleasant experience.

Since my initial review, I have been in ongoing communication with the office regarding anesthesia…read morebilling and documentation. I did receive formal legal correspondence requesting that I remove my review. However, my primary request throughout this process has remained the same -- to obtain accurate billing records and to address concerns regarding how anesthesia pricing was presented on the day of surgery. After multiple requests, I was eventually provided documentation. During that process, I discovered that the original anesthesia invoice had been sent to an incorrect email address, which does not match either of the email addresses I have on file. This explains why the invoice was not received earlier and contributed to delays in resolving this issue. My current concern relates to the anesthesia cost increasing from an initial estimate of approximately $500, to approximately $1,500, and ultimately to approximately $1,800. The final amount was presented on the day of surgery while I was already being prepared for the procedure. At that time, I was already in a surgical setting, extremely nervous, and had already committed significant time, preparation, and financial resources based on the previously discussed amount. While I understand that estimates can change, I did not expect a final increase to be presented at that stage. I did not feel I had a meaningful opportunity to evaluate the change or reconsider the financial terms before moving forward. I was also advised that the procedure would still be billed if I did not proceed, which made it difficult to pause or reassess the situation after I had already signed prior documentation and prepared for surgery. Additionally, I had been told the procedure was urgent, which added to the pressure of making a decision in that moment. During this process, I also learned that the anesthesia provider did not present or discuss the final pricing with me directly. Instead, the updated pricing and consent were handled through staff within the surgery center. Manoosh, who works with the surgical office, presented the revised pricing, obtained my signature on the updated document, and collected payment for the increased amount. Because the payment was collected through the surgery center and the updated agreement was facilitated by their staff, I have directed my concerns to Ocean Plastic Surgery regarding how this process was handled. As of now, I have not received a response from the office addressing these concerns. I am continuing to seek resolution directly, but I would encourage others to ask detailed questions about anesthesia pricing, timing of final cost disclosures, and available payment options well in advance of any procedure. I will continue to update this review as the situation progresses.

Although the price is three times more expensive than silicone, the benefits are obviously more than silicone. I paid and chose Gore-Tex. I spoke with Abram Nguyen and Christina: I wanted my chin to be natural and not big. Three months after the surgery, I discovered that my chin was crooked, curved downward, pointed from the front, discontinuous and too large from the side. I contacted Christina but she said it was a hematoma and told me to wait another year for the hematoma to completely go away. I waited another year and my chin still looked the same. Christina said that the Gore-Tex chin looks like this when it is first made, but as it grows with the soft tissue, the chin will get smaller and smaller, so you should wait another year. Over the next few years, she cheated on me in various ways. I had symptoms such as toothache, jaw pain, and red chin skin. Other doctors confirmed that I was deceived and got a silicone chin. Abram Nguyen admitted he put in silicone, not Gore-Tex。 They set a trap to deceive me by taking advantage of the fact that I lived out of state and was not fluent in English. My upper eyelid procedure was done badly as well. Abram Nguyen removed fat from my eyelids without my permission. The width of fat loss in the right eyelid is 7mm, and that in the left eyelid is 6mm. The eyes are sunken and the tail of the eye drops down. The right eye is parallel and the left eye is triangular and asymmetrical. The scars on the eyelids are very rough, and there are wrinkles on the eyelids after a large amount of eyelid fat was removed. The eyes looked smaller than before. sunken, wrinkled little eyes make me look thirty years older. The pointed, droopy chin resembles a witch's chin. I hoped that another doctor could repair my eyes, but the answer was that they couldn't because too much fat was removed. People looked at me with surprise and fear. Some people told me outright that my face was ruined. My life was ruined and I was in constant depression. I have been reluctant to go out for so many years. Staff Christina Chen introduced that Abram Nguyen graduated from a top medical university in the United States and said that I must completely trust their beauty technology and services. She also said that she and I speak the same mother tongue and that she would wholeheartedly help me. I chose to believe them, but what I got was deception, disfigurement and money fraud.

I had a panniculectomy consult with Dr. Vu after losing almost 150 lbs through diet, exercise, and…read moreGLP-1 support. I've worked so hard, yet I was met with cold, dismissive questioning that honestly felt like a criminal interrogation. When I shared that my lower belly affects my mobility and breathing, he replied, "You're winded because you're out of shape," as if he could assess my fitness level just by looking at me. Sagging skin and weight do not equal poor health. Yes, I understand there's a Q&A process for insurance approval, but there's a way to ask questions with basic humanity. This wasn't it. The photography portion was clinical and emotionally detached, handled with no warmth. I left the office in tears. Other Yelp reviews speak of his kindness, maybe because they paid out of pocket. I came through Medi-Cal. Massive weight loss is a long, heroic journey. Surgeons have the privilege of offering a final, healing touch. That privilege was not honored here. It's not easy to get to this point after the rigmarole of referrals, hard work, and patience, but I will not be moving forward with Dr. Vu. Back to square one, but I trust I'll find care that recognizes I'm a whole person someone who deserves to be treated with respect, not contempt.
