After…read moreextensive research and guidance from 2 trusted aestheticians, I was very impressed with the credentials and results of Dr. David Hecht. As a male in my 70s, it was important to choose a surgeon experienced with my age group and gender. From my consultation onward, Dr. Hecht set clear expectations and took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and anticipated outcome, which gave me great confidence in moving forward. Now about two weeks after surgery, I am extremely pleased with my results -- they have exceeded my expectations and I'm confident they will continue to improve as healing progresses. Dr. Hecht and his staff have been professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process, with excellent postoperative follow-up. My family and I could not be happier with the experience. Dr. Hecht is a gifted surgeon, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering facial rejuvenation.

I'm sharing these photos as a warning to others until I post a more detailed & documented review…read more A month after surgery (chin lipo and submentoplasty) with Michelle, I began developing large, painful nodules under my chin and neck that persistently got worse for over a year. I was initially told by her that it must be allergies to the permanent sutures, so I underwent revision surgery with her. She then diagnosed the nodules as "fat necrosis". Soon after revision surgery, the nodules started appearing again. I was then repeatedly told by Michelle that it must be thyroid-related causes. After seeking another revision from a highly experienced double board-certified plastic surgeon & ENT down the street, I was informed that the nodules were full of pus and bacteria, located on/around the permanent sutures. I was also told that the nodule that was distanced lower than the rest, had a free-hanging suture that wasn't attached to anything. I was advised that what he found was consistent with infection related to the permanent internal sutures Michelle placed in me and could likely be due to the sutures being unsterile/compromised during surgery. This was an extremely painful and distressing experience that significantly impacted my quality of life for OVER a year. When I reached out to her office regarding this, I was met with denial, zero accountability and was warned multiple times in a threatening manner not to post about it online. I strongly encourage anyone considering cosmetic surgery to thoroughly research their provider and ensure they are board-certified in plastic surgery. Unfortunately, a cosmetic surgeon with a doctorates degree in dentistry is a very considerable, and concerning difference.

Caution Regarding Dr. Michelle's Plastic Surgery Services…read more I feel compelled to share my experience as a warning to others. Based on my personal journey, I cannot recommend undergoing plastic surgery with Dr. Michelle. Years ago, I underwent breast augmentation with Dr. Michelle and was initially satisfied with the results. However, in 2022, I returned for a breast reduction and, prior to surgery, inquired about a small amount of liposuction specifically for my knees. Unfortunately, the outcome was devastating. As the pictures show, significant fat was removed from my legs--far beyond what I requested--while the area I was concerned about (my knees) received minimal attention. This procedure has left me deeply TRAUMATIZED with my appearance, and I feel my body has been irreversibly altered. When I raised my concerns with Dr. Michelle, her solution was to offer a revision surgery at a significantly reduced cost (operating only), which I feel does not fully address or take accountability for the initial outcome or would I ever go back to someone who botched my body I hope my experience can help others make informed decisions about their choices and learn from my mistakes.

The experience of setting up a breast lift and implants has been horrible... It started from…read morecalling to get consultation and asking questions the staff made me feel like I was bothersome or asked to many questions..I let that slide.. ( maybe she was not patient that day). Set up consultation, attended it, and seemed like it went well, asked for the quote before leaving and they said they will call me,.. okay...I received a phone call later that evening and she ramled off the numbers to me verbally, I was unable to right them down at the time as I was driving. I kindly asked for the information to be emailed to me. She said she cant do that and it will have to be sent to me in the mail. Okay.. Now after getting all the money together from the quote.. cash mind you...I needed to set up appt.. In order to set up appointment for surgery, they must receive 500.00 cash in person or 500.00 cashiers check sent via mail... So, my thoughts are Im going to send you 500 dollars and dont know if I can even get the date I NEED for surgery.. to align with my home/work/life balance and time off work with recovery time frame.. I needed a specific date.. nope they couldnt guarantee it or tell me if I could choose that date until they had my 500.00.. and thet wont take the pmt over the phone, no cc, no debit cards, nothing. So I had to leave work early to get a cashiers check from bank before the bank closed since they are opened from 930-5 and I work 830-5. I had to send them the money as soon as possible so that I could HOPEFULLY get a specific date that im requesting.... oh and let me add, while talking to them Nov 29th, they dont even have the anesthesiologist schedules to see when they will be available for dates in Jan... surgery cant even be scheduled if they had my 500 in hand.... Meanwhile they need clearance from my PCP to proceed with surgery, but my PCP is asking for a clearance letter to be sent to them explaining what is required or needed and I get told by Kathy at Dr. Wilsons office they dont do that, they dont have nothing to send out but will try and call them... ?? Advised them on multiple conversations they have made this whole process stressful and caused so much anxiety, that what if I am not cleared or what if I cant do surgery because heart rate or blood pressure goes up (white coat syndrome) due to nervousness or whatever the case may be on the day of surgery..... She says it will be a fee of 88% of your fee since its 72 hours or less..... so basically I will lose 15k out of pocket cash if for some reason I cannot proceed with surgery. Well ever since I heard that, everytime I think of it ,my heart starts pounding.. I cannot phathom losing that much money if my body decided to get nervous or something on surgery day...they have not been comforting during this entire "ELECTIVE SURGERY" process...So I will not be going through with this surgery and I will not be going back to this place period because of how I was treated by the staff. They need to learn patience and consideration on how they speak to people that have never done an elective surgery before and willing to pay thousands cash to have the procedure done. They dont need to make people feel like a burden and possibly enhance their protocol and procedure on how to collect the money from someone to make a smoother transaction..THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED TO DO FOR 2 YEARS SINCE LOSING OVER 100 LBS ON MY OWN AND SAVED CASH TO DO IT, IT HAS NOW BECOME A STRESSFUL DISASTER I FAIL TO COMPLETE.

He took the time to understand my goals and explained every step of the breast lift and augmentation as well as my tummy tuck in a way I could understand, which immediately put me at ease.

Dr. Malek's attention to detail and skill involved are evident, and the results were transformative for me. Equally impressive was the care I received throughout recovery. Everyone from the care coordinators to nurses were compassionate, responsive, and always willing to answer questions, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and reassuring. I never felt rushed or overlooked. If you are considering surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Malek. His expertise and genuine care for his patients truly set him apart.

Butchered and In Debt: A 3-Month Nightmare and for the rest of my life. …read more ​I am writing this as a social worker and therapist to warn others. It took me a year to choose this surgeon and follow through with it, I thiught about trusting him for a year, and it has been the biggest mistake of my life. I went in for a deep plane face and neck lift. Against my better judgment, I allowed the surgeon to talk me into an eye lift and fat injections under my eyes--a procedure I was petrified of and had literal nightmares about. ​Three months later, I have been butchered. ​The Eyes: My left eye remains severely swollen and has not changed in two months. There is a deep, "black" discoloration under my eyes that $200 concealer cannot hide. I am forced to wear glasses 24/7 just to look my clients in the face because the results are so disturbing. ​Nerve Damage: My smile, which was my best feature, is completely gone. I have obvious nerve damage that has distorted my mouth. The way I talk, speech, and smile..yiu can tell I have the nerve damage by just talking to me...devastating. I could have accepted that on its own but my God..I was butchered. ​Visible Scarring: While one side is hidden (the side that i part my hair on so it would have been hidden anyways!!!), the other incision was made past my hairline and is completely visible. I also have a quarter-sized protrusion on my temple that looks like a massive cyst. ​Poor Results: For a "deep plane" lift, I still have 2-3 ripples of extra skin on my face and zero improvement in my neck. ​I took out a $14,000 loan for these produces plus 25k....no joke..39k!!! And I got butchered!! I have been quoted 20,000$- $30,000 by other professionals. This surgeon took my money, ignored my documented fears about fat transfer, and left me with results that I have to live with every day in my professional and personal life. ​If you are considering this surgeon: take your money and run. No one should have to pay this much money to end up looking and feeling like this. BIGGEST MISTAKR OF MY LIFE and I am in recovery... that should say a lot!!! Stephanie Hunter...I really sont want anyone elsenyo get butchered. He called me that morning and asked if I could come in early. It 100000$ looks like he hurried fast as could be to get out of there and him doing that has distorted me .....please dont!!!!

My annual skin check with PA-C Michael was quite thorough. He answered my questions and provided explanations as needed. Thankfully nothing suspicious was found. After that, I came back for dermaplaning.

The front desk gal with the long brown hair for some reason speaks to me in a condescending manner…read moreevery time I walk into the Scottsdale office needing service as a legitimate patient. The first time I came to the Scottsdale office was in early August immediately following an appointment at my primary care physician's office during which he had informed me I needed to consult with a dermatologist for the problem I was having with my skin. She greeted me coldly when I told her I was a past patient of Dr. Lee Laris. I explained that I had been previously referred to him by Heather Thomas, and I had seen him previously at the Phoenix location. Excelling at providing "customer no-service," she informed me that it had been so long since I had seen Dr. Laris that I would now be considered a new patient (though I obviously was not new to the practice), and that even if his his medical team would agree to let him see me (WHAT!?!? Yes, they apparently very mechanically manage and control his schedule for him like in impenetrable force field) that there were no appointments available until January of next year. Keep in mind, she was telling me this in August of 2022 that he would not be able to see me until January of 2023 IF his medical team would even permit it. WTH?!? So we leave it that she is going to check with them and get back to me. I waited a few days. I eventually received a call from Phoenix Skin stating that I would be unable to see Dr. Laris AT ALL, but that they would schedule me to see a different provider at the Phoenix office. I drove the distance to the Phoenix office (I live in north Scottsdale), and I saw the alternate provider. The provider was fine. My issue with my skin was addressed. A F/up was scheduled. I arrived for my follow up on the day my appointment was scheduled approximately 15 minutes early only to be met by the same long-haired brunette and told that there was no appointment for me in her system. I am thinking, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" So, this gal acts assumes I surely must have gotten the date and/or time of my appointment wrong until she phoned the Phoenix location who had scheduled this follow up appointment for me and confirmed that I was supposed to be seen by her office at the time I had given her since I live closer to that location. They "worked me in" so I did not need to reschedule which was a relief though a bit stressful. That being the case, they acted as though they were doing me a favor as if it was my mistake instead of apologizing for their mistake. In my opinion, that, in itself, was another error in judgement. Provider again was fine during the appointment. I received the care and information I needed. My questions were answered though I felt a bit rushed. Upon checkout, I attempted to purchase a product from a nice enough lady sitting at a check out desk (completely independent of the check in gal and check in counter) which the dermatologist recommended during said appointment. For some ungodly reason this jerk of a check in ... receptionist ... brunette long-haired girl with an attitude interjected, "We don't sell everything the Phoenix location sells!" First of all, I don't care what the Phoenix location sells. I am not present at the Phoenix location today. The dermatologist at YOUR location TODAY asked me to purchase it here TODAY (at the Scottsdale office), and I live 5 minutes from the Scottsdale office. I really have no interest in having to drive all the way back to the Phoenix office ever again if there is any way this can be avoided. Nobody asked for you unsolicited information. You checked me into the office for my appointment. Now please know the limits of your position, stick to the duties of your job description, and stay out of the remainder of my visit. The other gal, the check out lady, proceeded to fetch the product I was directed to purchase by my dermatologist THAT VERY DAY IN THAT VERY OFFICE LOCATION FROM HER PRODUCT STOCK. I was then asked, "It costs over $100, is that okay?!?" How rude. Do I look like I come from the poor house? Did you not notice my Tom Ford sunglasses or my Louis Vuitton bag? $100 makes no difference. Even if it did, the proper and polite thing to do would be to simply charge the consumer for the requested item without issue or incident. If the customer has a problem with the price, believe me, the customer will bring it to your attention ... SO LET THEM ... rather than insulting your customers. There is a definite training need here. I have been quite saddened and disappointed by my repeated mistreatment in this office by the front desk staff. This is quite a shame because the actual doctor and medical assistant did a fine job.
