    En bloc explant mastopexy with a lift. My doctor crushed it! Pure success, no problem at all. Recovery is going well.

    Dr Sayed is extremely the best caring, knowledgeable and kind doctor I've ever used. He takes the time to listen to all your questions and concerns. He thoroughly answers all your questions and makes you feel safe every time you leave his office. His staff is top notch. Excellent customer service. Salma and Paola are wonderful to work with.

    Long story short, I got breast implants last year in October 2020 by a different surgeon and started to feel sick out of nowhere this year in June 2021. I never heard of breast implant illness until it happened to me. Thank goodness to all the brave women who put their #bii stories online; you saved my life! Because of them, I was able to connect the dots finally and had to diagnose myself after watching a few youtube videos; and took a giant leap of faith by removing my breast implants, and I am so glad I did! I explanted 6 weeks ago & my symptoms are GONE. I finally feel like ME again! So many women who explanted and experienced breast implant illness referred me to Dr. Sayed. I am so glad I choose him to perform my en bloc capsulectomy. Literally, just a few days after explanting with Dr. Sayed, I finally felt like myself again. I have my life back. Dr. Sayed saved my life!!! I am soo sooo happy and feeling healthy again. My boobs also look super cute! He is a true artist! I am so impressed!

    Before and after breast explant and lift

    I am 12 weeks post-op breast explant and lift with Dr. Tim Sayed in Newport Beach, California. I had saline breast implants under the muscle for 20 years. Dr. Tim Sayed is a thoughtful and skilled surgeon who cares about his patients and believes in breast implant illness. Tim Sayed and his staff were always professional and thorough before, during, and post surgery. The results exceeded my expectations, and I am beyond happy. I highly recommend Dr. Tim Sayed.

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. Thank you, Dr. Dubrand Jackie for everything

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. The recovery process was smooth, and his team was just as attentive and supportive as he was. Every question I had was answered promptly, and I always felt like I was in expert hands. I'd like to comment on how professional, knowledgeable and caring everyone at his surgery center was, which is in the same building as Dr. Ip's office. I felt so safe and well taken care of. Dr. Ip's skill, artistry, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I am so grateful for his talent and care, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering surgery. He did a phenomenal job, and I couldn't be more happier with my results. Evelyn, Huntington Beach, CA

    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.

    9/10/25 Consult for tummy tuck…read more It has been over 10 years since I got my Rhinoplasty done by Dr. K. I still love my nose no matter where my weight is at. It has been a lovely study nose all through the years. I trusted my nose in his hands, why not this? I booked a consult to meet in person to discuss my concerns and reason for interest. He was very professional and honest about the risks that I would have due to having a high BMI. He said, "It's not whether or not you will have risks. It is more about which one of those risks will occur." I have had two other consults closer to home and every surgeon is gun-hoe about getting it done. Promising great results etc. No one has taken the time to emphasis on the surgical risks that may delay healing, cause more complications and even look differently than what I had imaged due to BMI concern. Dr. K was firm and said he recommends me to seek guidance from a gastric surgeon (even provided me with a recommendation to start) and see what my options are. Once I get down to 170lbs or so, if still seeking intervention, then come back to him. I greatly appreciate his honesty and his concerns for his patient's well being. There truly aren't may plastic surgeons like him these days. If you are in need of a confidence boost of any kind, please come consult with him. He is a Gem! Thank you again, Dr. K!

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.

Every time I asked a simple question, the answer shifted or contradicted the previous message.

Typically, you're advised to meet with multiple surgeons before making a decision since surgery is a serious commitment, but Dr. K was actually the first and only consultation I did. I immediately felt comfortable with him and his staff right off the bat. Everyone was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. Dr. Kelishadi took the time to thoroughly evaluate my anatomy and recommended the Preservé technique with Motiva implants. He explained that I had natural asymmetry and suggested two different implant profiles (demi and full) with a 65cc difference to create better balance. I truly appreciated his honest, thoughtful approach and I am so glad I trusted his expertise because I am very happy with my results. One of my biggest hesitations about breast augmentation was fear of going under general anesthesia. The Preservé technique itself is incredible because it uses IV sedation and local anesthesia instead, and the downtime was only a few days. Knowing that Dr. Kelishadi is one of the first plastic surgeons in the United States able to offer this advanced technique made me feel even more confident in my decision. His wife, Dr. Sherry, who is the pharmacist, was also wonderful. Their non-narcotic pain protocol was amazing. Avoiding nausea and grogginess was very important to me, and they completely delivered on that promise. The practice is extremely organized and thoughtful -- they even provided all medications in advance along with a duffle bag, scar gel, a recovery journal, and a cute pink velour outfit set for surgery day. These details made the experience feel very supported and personalized. Valerie at the front office is incredibly helpful and responsive, Kendal the nurse is kind and reassuring, and Brianna the surgical assistant made me feel calm and cared for throughout the process. Even at my 1-month follow-up appointment, Dr. Kelishadi and the team treated me with the same level of hospitality and respect as day one. You can truly tell they care deeply about their craft and about their patients' outcomes. Overall, this has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you are considering breast augmentation, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Kelishadi. He is truly an artist, and he has an exceptional team behind him who make the entire journey feel safe, thoughtful, and seamless. I am so grateful I trusted them with such an important decision and would confidently recommend their practice to anyone looking for natural, beautiful results and a genuinely caring surgical experience.

    I came in for a consultation specifically to discuss Lipo 360 and nothing more, and from the moment…read moreI arrived, the experience felt comfortable, calm, and professional. The office was easy to find, very clean, and had a relaxed atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The front desk staff especially Valerie -- was genuinely kind and welcoming. I want to mention her specifically because my experience did not align at all with some of the negative comments I had seen online. In fact she spoke very discreetly. The office staff / assistants/ nurses? Were warm, respectful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy working together, which speaks volumes about the culture of the practice. After intake, the doctor came in and completely -- and respectfully -- challenged my assumptions. Instead of simply agreeing with what I thought I wanted, he explained in a clear, thorough, and professional way that I would likely benefit far more from a tummy tuck and breast lift than Lipo alone. That level of honesty is exactly what I was looking for. One thing I want to be very clear about: when I'm choosing a plastic surgeon, I'm not shopping for a friend or prioritizing "customer service" in the traditional sense. I'm looking for someone who is highly qualified, direct, and knows exactly what they're doing. After reading how the doctor responds to his own critical reviews, that actually increased my confidence in him. He doesn't deflect, sugarcoat, or hide the ball instead he emphasizes accountability, communication, and realistic expectations, which I deeply respect. As an attorney, those same principles are central to my own consultations. He was human, transparent, and straightforward but not dismissive, not salesy, and not overly polished in a way that feels inauthentic. There was zero pressure to move forward, even though this would be a major surgery and my personal circumstances currently require patience and planning. He answered every question thoroughly, provided additional information I didn't even think to ask, and made it clear the decision was entirely mine and could wait. I also verified his pricing independently, and it is exactly in line with Orange County market rates for a board-certified surgeon fair, realistic, and appropriate for the level of expertise. You def pay for whst you get so a lower price quote would havebeen a red flag to me. Another thing that stood out: the doctor was focused, energetic, and fully present at 5 PM on a Thursday. No rushed energy, no burnout just professionalism and clarity. Although I didn't book surgery immediately, I am absolutely confident that I will be having these procedures done here within this year. I will also refer anyone who asks me for a plastic surgeon in Orange County to this office without hesitation. there are several components that may how I run my business. For example, the fact that they charge for a consultation also speaks volumes. The surgeons time is valuable, and if you want a meaningful consultation, it makes sense that you would pay at least an hourly rate and his consultation was a little bit lower than I would have charged. Which I believe is very fair. This is your body you're dealing with. You don't want to put your body in the hands of just anyone. Overly sales focused, lower prices and no consultation fee are all huge red flags. Thorough. Honest. Direct. Potentially a mind reader lol! Professional. Exactly what you want when making a serious medical decision. Thank you for the excellent experience. I wont even consult with anyone else. When the time is right im booking with SSK.
