Honestly, the hardest part of recovery was reminding myself that I had just had surgery because I felt so good afterward, I had to consciously slow myself down and take it easy.

Even with the steri-strips still on, my incision is clearly healing beautifully. I've had no swelling, no bruising, and my recovery has been incredibly smooth. Dr. Park is truly gifted, and I felt confident and well cared for every step of the way.

And then, he recommends a better, more appropriate, solution that saves you a considerable amount of money. That was my experience with Dr. Gehaan D'Souza of Iconic Plastic Surgery, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person and physician he is. Dr. D'Souza is an exceptional surgeon with something that is unfortunately rare: true integrity. He is thoughtful, ethical, compassionate, and clearly guided by what is best for his patients; rather, than what benefits him financially. His honesty, and professionalism immediately set him apart. Most important, the results exceeded my expectations. His skill, precision, and attention to detail are remarkable. Throughout the entire process, the continued care and follow-up have been outstanding. The wellness checks are genuine, reassuring, informative, and thoughtful -- you are truly cared for, not just treated. With Dr. D'Souza, you can be confident knowing you are in the hands of a highly talented surgeon who understands the goal is to enhance your natural beauty, never to make you look "overdone." Dr. D'Souza's knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming staff add so much to the experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable, respected, and at ease. There is a warmth in the office that makes every visit feel personal. Although Dr. D'Souza's lovely wife, Sabrina is not an employee, she contributed to the energy of the office atmosphere. Meeting her gives insights into the warmth, kindness, and positive energy that surrounds him. Her creativity and playful touches throughout the office created a warm, and uplifting space. I highly recommend Dr. D'Souza. His exceptional talent, honesty, compassion, and dedication make him the kind of surgeon you hope to find when making such an important decision.

Everything turned out great with Dr. D'Souza, he was absolutely incredible from start to finish, he was completely transparent and wanted the absolute best for my for my care, for my familes comcern, ease of mind and Their overall wee being., For their care and comfort, to help them, help me through this process. He is if I can say so politely, probably one of the better surgeons I have met along my journey and I can tell you I have met with well over 25 surgeons some of those I've even had surgery with in the past. Let me be clear thus this was not the process here This was my very first time meeting with Dr D'Souza and I'm so very glad I did run into him. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you are on the fence or if you are looking for someone who is like I said transparent wants the best for you. truly Treat you like family not only him but his staff I mean I have yet to find an office that is this loyal to their patient doctor will give you his phone number for goodness sake you can call him at 2:00 in the morning if you have a question and he would absolutely take no offense and be glad that you called him and he just has so much charisma He's an absolute artist and like I said I just couldn't ask for better, my family is extremely happy and couldn't be more grateful with his work ethic And the time he took so much to answer everyone of our questions and we had a lot! We even had a second meeting with him just to go over more questions and he never once complained once and genuinely was happy to do so. My husband thinks the world of him and 6 months out from surgery he is still talking about the doctor and how wonderful he is! If I could give back even just the smallest piece of what Dr. D'souza has given me to me in my life and my self esteem and some of my dignity back that I didn't have for far, far tong ling q- back in my life I tenfold I just don't think there's enough money or gifts that come from the heart and the soul the My life back filled my heart and soul my dignity basically he's giving me a lot of my life back! i highly highly suggest you see him listen, He's young so up on the latest and greatest but very nice & up to date on all the older school techniques. he's just a fabulous fabulous Doctor. I am getting nothing for saying this I just am 6 months out from surgery Very impressed and wanted to pass the message along to anyonelooking to get some fabulous plastic surgery I would highly highly highly recommend setting up a consultation the Dr D'Souza and his staff his staff are absolutely wonderful to work with They are above and beyond helpful as well as the doctor do yourself a favor Set up a free consultation I promise I bet you'll be at your top three contenders of surgeons that you can will find (most likely the number 1) Thank you Doctor D'Souza, Daphne and everyone at the office you guys have all been so wonderful I can't thank you enough!

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment.

I met Dr. Anshu Gupta in 2010 through one of my best friends, she had just had a tummy tuck by Dr. Gupta and she looked amazing so it took me seconds to ask her for his office number and called to set up an appointment on the spot. I called and got an appointment set up for myself. I was very nervous but at the same time very excited for a new beginning and it was coming in just a few short weeks. So first, just a little about me; I was 53 years old (now 61), a single mother of two adult children, all of which were out of the house, are now married and parents themselves. I'm a grandmother! So this was a perfect time to refresh, fix myself up and maybe get back out as dateable or at the least finally happy with my reflection in the mirror. As all mothers know and have to deal with are the 'love handles' and 'tummy rolls' that happen after having babies and there is not an exercise in the world that can magically get rid of that Goodyear tire, nothing! Also, as a woman of a particular age, the things that happen to your once smooth and youthful face is tragic, unapologetic and leaves you feeling, SCREWED! My cheeks had hollowed; my lips didn't have the fullness that I had once had so I fixed all that too! Not all at the same time mind you, I spread it out for a few years. Well, the first appointment came and I was put in an examination room where Dr. Gupta was waiting for me, he was waiting for me! I had the exam for the tummy tuck and found I was in good health and could have the surgery the next week and had it done. It took about 3 weeks to a month to heal and believe you me I had (and still do) have the flattest stomach to ever wish for! A few years later I had cheek implants, that's the surgery that completely brought it back, I looked like a very age appropriate woman and I must tell you the first look in the mirror after healing was more than I could contain, I cried and I sobbed! He tailor made what was needed for me, he never over did it and made my appearance look natural. I really love this man with all of my heart for bringing me back from the brink of giving up on myself. He told me what his end all expectations were but I must say what I got was far and beyond. Doctor Gupta has helped me maintain a youthful look for eight years and without making me look over done. I think I look at an age that is much more youthful than I really am but then again, I deserve it! Not only is Dr. Gupta a plastic surgeon for people like me but he is a man with a huge heart that also specializes in reconstructive surgery for patients overcoming the physical effects of cancer. I'm telling you he is the real deal and I wish you all the time you need with him. He's the real deal and is a humble and loyal doctor and physician. read more

I'd contemplated having breast augmentation for over a decade before meeting Dr. Gupta. After having two children and breast feeding both, for what seemed like forever, my breasts were deflated, saggy and looking south. Every surgeon I consulted with said I needed a lift so I always left the consultation discouraged because I didn't want a bunch of scars on my breasts. My vision was to have large, perky breasts... not the small, saggy ones I was left with before he performed his magic. During my consult he talked to me about a procedure that would limit the amount of scarring to only having a scar around my areolas. I was ecstatic! For the first time I had the hope of getting the kind of breasts I wanted to see when I looked at myself in the mirror. He explained that my desire for large breasts and his "minimal scar lift" were a perfect combination. I never felt like he was trying to sell me anything. In fact, he listened to what I wanted and together we made a plan. His vision and artistry is amazing and his bedside manner and demeanor are kind and gentle. I'd consulted with several plastic surgeons in the San Diego area over the years, but none of them made me feel like my final outcome was their top priority. Dr. Gupta truly cares about his patients. He won't sell you on anything you don't need. I'm a few weeks short of my 1-year post op anniversary and I could not be happier! My breasts have held up and look better than I'd ever expected. Breast augmentation has changed my life in so many positive ways. I was even asked by Dr. Gupta if he could use my "Before and After" photos for his website. I still find myself visiting his website and looking at my pictures and showing my friends what amazing work he did. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner! I would definitely recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone considering breast augmentation or a lift. read more

I recently had breast reduction surgery with Dr. Gupta, and I cannot speak highly enough of him, his team, and the entire experience. After doing extensive research and reading countless reviews, I chose him -- and I am so deeply grateful that I did. My surgery was life-changing. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt cared for, seen, and supported. Dr. Gupta is truly exceptional -- kind, patient, gentle, honest, and incredibly skilled. His knowledge of the most up-to-date techniques is unmatched, and he took the time to walk me through every step so I felt confident and at ease. My breast reduction was an absolute success. I went from a 36DD to a 34B/C, and I feel lighter, balanced, and more comfortable in my body than I have in decades. I also opted for an internal mesh "internal bra" support, which he explained beautifully. The results are natural, lifted, and beautifully proportioned -- better than I even imagined. The outpatient hospital experience was seamless. Every single person -- from pre-op to post-op -- was friendly, attentive, and reassuring. His entire office staff deserves their own five stars. They are warm, organized, responsive, and their follow-through was exceptional. I always felt like I was in the best hands, and that level of care matters so much when you're going through something this personal. Dr. Gupta is a rare combination of technical excellence and true compassion. I've already referred many people to him because I believe so deeply in his work and in the kind of care he provides. If you are considering breast reduction or any breast procedure, I recommend him with complete confidence and a full heart. He changed my life. read more

As a young girl I knew someday I would be interested in enhancing my breasts because It was the only part of my body I was very insecure about. After contemplating for a couple of years whether or not I should get a breast augmentation I finally decided to do it! I started off by searching doctors in my area on Google and traveled to other cities to meet with different surgeons friends had recommend, then I finally met Dr. Gupta! I thought after having the same consultation over and over with other plastic surgeons I had heard it all, little did I know I was wrong. Dr. Gupta explained the procedure to me in such detail like no other surgeon had! Once our consultation was over, he closed the doors behind him I looked over to my boyfriend (who had came with me) and said "He's the one!" All of my friends had advised me go with the doctor that made me feel the most comfortable, and before I met Dr. Gupta I had not known what that comfortable feeling was. His awesome personality makes you feel so welcomed that you forget you're in a doctors office! I immediately wanted to schedule surgery and his staff was able to accommodate in such a short notice. I was scheduled for my breast augmentation on a Friday, and Saturday morning I received a phone call from Dr. Gupta to make sure I was doing ok. This was the first surgical procedure that I had ever had and it really meant a lot to me that he took the time out of his day to make sure I was recovering well. I would highly recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone looking for amazing results. I can't thank you enough Dr. Gupta for changing my life in all the right ways. I now have the breasts I've always wanted! read more

Dr. Gupta is Amazing he seriously is the best around. I had many many consults with others and all my girlfriends went to other people as well. I found him randomly when I was looking for a job and I decided to work for the practice and than after about 5 months of working I decided to take the leap and get the boobs myself. He makes you laugh and really cares about his patients goals and appearance and is a total perfectionist. My Breast Augmentation Pro's- 1. Looks Great ! 2. Fast and Easy surgery because I had such a great surgeon who I trusted and who was very experienced and patient with me and all my questions I had threw the process. 3. Made my stomach look alot smaller and better. 4. Self - Esteem Increase 5.Glad I went with the shaped instead of round because i still have some side boob but it would have been very uncomfortable to have more than I have right now due to moving arms and resting arms . Con's- 1. Longer Recovery than expected because I had thicker muscle than expected due to sports and my skin had a hard time stretching to fit these big implants. 2. Limited Mobility for a few days so you really need to take a full week off work and have a care taker help you first 2 days with moving around. 3. Sleeping positions are hard first 2 nights to get used too. 4. Constipation from pain meds so you need to eat alot of fiber and prepare for that. Outcome: Currently on Day 8 post op and feeling alot better , going to go out for the first time this weekend and I am excited to finally have boobs like the rest of my girlfriends. read more

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago and had a double mastectomy with transflap reconstruction. In addition to continued oncology care, It has been a challenging journey of breadt reconstruction and healing because of several challenges including fat necrosis and scarring as well as the untimely loss of a trusted and beloved plastic surgeon, Dr. Humber. After a year of grieving his loss and confusion about what to do next to continue this path of healing, I went for a consultation with Dr. Gupta. Dr. Gupta was patient, kind, and reassuring about assessing the situation and developing a plan to continue forward; he is the ultimate professional, calm, kind and supportive in his patient care and gifted as an artist and surgeon in the miraculous engineering and healing of the human body and mind. The staff of Verve Plastic Surgery work in close tandem with Dr. Gupta, quick to dry the tears, lend a word of kind encouragement or offer a giggle (or hearty guffaw) when needed. I am forever grateful. A 5 year journey of reconstruction from a double mastectomy with multiple surgeries is not something I would wish on anyone, but as I near the end of this, I am again in awe of the doctors and nurses that have made this possible (as well as my new man made nipples!) Thank you Dr. Gupta. I would give 10 stars if I could! xo Krista read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gupta and his team. As a healthcare worker, I strongly feel that, when looking for a good surgeon, you should always ask the surgical nurses who to go to. The nurses I work with all said that Dr. Gupta would be their first choice for a Plastic Surgeon. My referral to Verve came following a breast cancer diagnosis. Needless to say, I was anxious when I walked in. But Dr. Gupta, with his gentle demeanor, put me at ease immediately. He took time and explained things thoroughly. But the saying goes that a doctor is only as good as the people around him and I think he has chosen his team very well. EVERYONE in the office have been helpful and attentive, from front desk and scheduling, to nursing and post op care with the PA, they are wonderful. They communicate well and always respond to calls and texts in a timely manner and are so friendly! And, saving the best for last...I have been so very pleased with the surgical reconstruction skills. They have literally crafted a new body for me that's even better than I had in my teens and twenties! I've had post mastectomy breast reconstruction and a tummy tuck with diastasis recti repair and liposuction. If you are looking for a team you can trust will make you look and feel beautiful, these are, hands down, the best people for the job. read more

My breast surgeon recommended Dr. Gupta to do my reconstruction with silicone implants after my double mastectomy. She said he is the only plastic surgeon she will work with because he is the best. All the nurses at the hospital and surgical center said the same thing. I was so happy with my results that I later treated myself to liposuction, fat grafting, and a tummy tuck. I now have the body I had before having 3 kids. My tummy tuck scar is so thin and barely visible because I used their scar ointment. Dr. Gupta is so kind and patient, he made me feel comfortable during my recovery period. The entire staff is so friendly. Alison, Dr. Gupta's Physician's assistant was there for all my surgeries. She is sweet and knowledgeable. She made me look 10 years younger with the subtle use of fillers and botox. The staff at Verve Plastic surgery turned a scary, life-saving operation into an easy, confidence-building experience. I had never planned on having any type of plastic surgery or injectables but knowing I was getting the best care gave me the idea to go for it. I'm so grateful that I found Verve Plastic Surgery. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gupta by my Dermatologist to remove a melanoma from my face. Upon arrival for my consultation I was greeted by his wonderful office manager, his staff was friendly, professional, and showed concern for my fears about having melanoma, and having surgery on my face to remove it. Dr. Gupta explained my melanoma, and the procedure to remove it. His manner immediately put me at ease, I felt I was in good hands for what I was dealing with, and grateful to my dermatologist for recommending him and his office for my care. I am cancer free now, yay! I highly recommend Verve Plastic Surgery and Dr. Gupta to anyone considering plastic surgery, or surgery for cancer removal. You will not be disappointed. (as an aside, one of the first things I noticed was how absolutely clean his offices are. Yes, medical offices should be clean, but rarely are they so clean that you take notice of it,) I go back in a few days for stitch removal, and although I am thrilled to be finished with all this, I will miss these wonderful people. read more

I started my journey with Dr. Gupta and his team about two years ago. I had a total breast reconstruction performed. First of all, I am so grateful for they way my surgery turned out. The team walked me through all my procedures and had to hold my hand more than once. They were honest and straight forward. Second of all, they always made me feel welcome and a valued client. Every time I went into surgery, the staff at the different facilities had nothing by the highest praises for Dr Gupta and his team. I felt the very same way and it only helped to reaffirm my confidence in them. Before I came to be a client, I had a lot of apprehension about my BRCA results and what it meant to my future. After visiting the Verve office, I felt like my future is important to them and it helped me proceed forward. I've since used their services for other less invasive procedures and I am nothing but 100% satisfied with my results. I would choose Verve time and time again. read more

Dr. Anshu Gupta was the only surgeon out of 3 surgeons who decided to do my breast revision after 3 failed surgeries performed by another surgeon after my breast cancer.Also necrotic tissue on my right breast. He took the time to explain risks and healing process which is about a year. Professional ,knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and humble. Dr. Gupta gave me hope. My surgery was risky!Unknown if he could possibly save my skin. However surgery was successful. I am so happy I found Dr. Gupta Great bedside manners and so caring. The only doctor who helped me heal emotionally and physically. Dr. Gupta is the only doctor I trust with breast reconstruction specially if there is skin damage. Thank you Dr. Gupta! You have a special place in my heart. read more

I was so nervous, most doctors/surgeons turned me down for a breast reduction. This was a huge decision and i was ready to give up as it was so hard to find anyone let alone someone i trust, i'm so glad i came here as they made me feel welcomed safe and taken care of. The staff is so sweet and welcoming while making sure i was always comfortable the office is so neat and pretty. The doctor made sure i knew everything that was going to happen and i really trusted his work as he is very nit-picky about his work and that made all my stress go away knowing i was in good hands. This decision is the best i've ever made i feel like i'm a whole new person i am not so shy and i can finally feel like a kid again! read more

As a new patient of Verve Plastic Surgery, I was somewhat apprehensive. Dr. Gupta and very professional staff fully explained my procedure from start to finish. My situation was unique in that my procedure was suggested by several primary care physicians. The Verve Plastic Surgery Center was recommended to my attention more than once. Now, that I have had personal experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Verve Plastic to anyone who is unsure or hesitant about the wonders that can, indeed, be performed. From the thorough preparation, the actual procedure, and the recovery process, the personnel at Verve Plastic Surgery were with me every step of the way. Sincerely, Paula Thayer read more

The reconstruction I had after breast cancer 14 years ago became uneven, eventually resulting in one breast shrinking to a B cup, and the other ballooning to a DD. It became impossible to hide the disfigurement under clothes. I was self conscious and embarrassed about it. Getting referred to Dr. Gupta changed everything. He did an amazing job correcting the issues and I couldn't be happier. I finally feel good in my skin again. Dr. Gupta and his entire staff are warm, friendly and overall very pleasant, which I personally appreciated due to my circumstances. Truly, I wish it were possible to rate Verve Plastic Surgery with more than than 5 stars!! read more

Dr. Gupta changed my life! I was Suffering with a size DDD bra size. I weigh 124 lbs. and have a small body frame. Carrying around that extra weight was painful, exhausting and inconvenient when shopping for clothes, swimsuits... At consultation I was pleased with Dr. Gupta's honesty and how professional he is. My surgery was done 3 months ago and I am walking on cloud nine. The results are spectacular! I feel proportioned for the first time in 45 years. I am now 57 years of age and have the breast size and Look I have Dreamed of for so long. The results are perfect! I am forever grateful to him and his personable office team! read more

Ok, so I tried Botox and filler for the first time. What a difference just 20 minutes made in my face. I can tell a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my eyes, I look more rested and even (whisper voice... younger!) After my incredible experience with Dr. Gupta when he performed my breast augmentation earlier this year, I couldn't think of anywhere else I would trust more to have my first set of injections. Alison's skill and attention to detail made all the difference. My results are subtle, but you can tell the difference! Go see them. Take care of yourself! You will be in great hands! read more

A medical diagnosis got me a referral to Verve Plastic Surgery. I was very pleased with Dr Gupta's surgical expertise. His team, Allison, Jennifer, Tina and Hannah were attentive, supportive, informative and efficient. This all happened at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, my initial consultation occurred by video call. My surgery and expected outcomes were discussed in detail. Surgery scheduling, pre-op appointment and medications, post-op instructions and appointments were thorough and timely. I highly recommend Dr Gupta and his team ! ! ! read more

In September 2023, I underwent MOHS surgery on my nose, which unexpectedly left a noticeable divot. In need of a plastic surgeon, I was highly recommended to Dr. Anshu Gupta. Remarkably, he made himself available the very next morning. From my first visit, everyone in the office was kind, empathetic, and understanding, making me feel truly cared for. The procedure itself went smoothly, and Dr. Gupta and his team provided thorough follow-up with texts and calls to check on my progress. Thank you to Dr. Gupta and his team. read more

Take the leap and do it :) . Not only does he do amazing work, he gives you the ultimate doctor patient care. My consultation appt felt like they closed the office just to meet me lol, so much care and time went into the appt, I knew the instant I met him and his assistant, he would be the doctor I would choose. I felt comfortable, and not scared, he explained EVERYTHING. He has a ton of knowledge and experience and I felt like I could trust him with this huge change to my body. I have never had plastic surgery and was very nervous. He didn't put any pressure on moving forward with the surgery, it was whatever I felt comfortable with. It was a wonderful experience. His assistant Eva is so so so sweet. I would 100% recommend. I'm so happy with the results. Recovery time and healing was fast due to the great job he did on the surgery. - thank you Dr G and Eva, this review has been way past due ! Surgery was in august 2020. Still amazed with my results :)

As a female, I have never suffered from hair loss per-se, but I have always been self-conscious of the angular shape of my temples and the size of my forehead. After years of research, I discovered Dr. Chaffoo as a leading specialist that specifically includes female hair restoration (a much nicher speciality to find, particularly when my need was for creating hair where there never was any.) From beginning to end, my experience with Dr. Chaffoo and his team was nothing short of incredible. I felt deeply listened to, heard, and cared for. He is caring, personable, and skilled. With his knowledge, we devised a plan to do a FUE transplant and insert hairs along my temple to create a more feminine, oval, look. The procedure was painless and we even had some fun on the day of - (a little dance party and stretch break with the staff). Dr. Chaffoo gifted me (with no additional charge) with more grafts than originally quoted to give me the hairline of my dreams, and I honestly could not have imagined a look more beautiful! It's natural, attractive, and refined. I feel a newfound confidence and freedom I never thought possible, and it's all thanks to Dr. Chaffoo. Thank you so much for changing my life.
