I truly wish there were more stars to give Dr Shifren, Hana, Melanie, and the rest of the staff at WAVE Plastic Surgery. If I could I would give them 11 stars out of 5. As a physician myself I am more critical than most and I was truly impressed with every aspect of my experience at WAVE Plastic Surgery in general and with Dr Shifren, Hana, and Melanie in particular. When I first made the decision to undergo the Smart Liposuction procedure, I spent a great deal of time researching physicians and practices until I finally came upon WAVE Plastic Surgery. My first point of contact was with Hana and Melanie at the Irvine offices of WAVE. They were caring and thorough from the very first and continued to be so throughout my experience. I was given a thorough and realistic recommendation along with an accurate cost estimate. But the aspect that truly convinced me that WAVE was the correct choice for me was the knowledge and lack of pressure. I can say without a doubt that undergoing the procedure at WAVE Plastic Surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I underwent my procedure within a month of my initial consultation, and it was brilliant. I was up and walking around within two days of the procedure and I was able to return to work within a week. As for the results, they are truly brilliant. In point of fact Dr Shifren was able to achieve results for me that I had not anticipated, natural and beautiful. It may seem like an oxymoron to link physicians with well-being and health promotion but at WAVE in general and Dr Shifren, Hana, and Melanie specifically it is a fact. If you want the very best and the most beautiful and natural results then the best choice you can make is WAVE Plastic Surgery, Dr Shifren and the entire staff. They are skilled at patient care, research, and teaching and meet the full measure of exceptional surgical skill, professional responsibility, and patient care. read more

I visited Wave Plastic Surgery in Costa Mesa on April 16th for a HydraFacial, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was just right--clean, cozy, and super welcoming. The staff at the front desk were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Before we got started, they did this detailed skin analysis which was pretty cool. They used some high-tech gadgets to check out my skin's hydration, elasticity, you name it. It was super thorough, and my technician took the time to explain all the results to me, which I really appreciated. The HydraFacial itself was amazing. If you haven't had one, it's like a full refresh for your face. My technician was a pro through and through, walking me through each step. We went through cleansing, exfoliating, the works, and then this device called a HydraPeel Tip helped infuse my skin with some awesome serums packed with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. I loved how she explained what each part of the process did and why it was important for my skin type. After the facial, we did another skin test to see the changes, and wow, I could actually see the difference in the numbers! We sat down after and went over my before and after results. It was clear she knew her stuff, explaining how my skin had improved and what I could do to keep it up. To wrap it up, she gave me some personalized skincare recommendations based on how my skin reacted to the treatment. It wasn't just the usual "buy this, buy that"--it felt really tailored to what I needed. Overall, my time at Wave was fantastic. It was chill but professional, and I left feeling like I knew more about my skin than ever before. Plus, my face looked and felt great. Definitely looking forward to going back and would recommend it to anyone looking to give their skin some TLC! read more

So happy I could cry!!! I recently went to wave for a breast augmentation via fat transfer with liposculpture and from consultation to post-surgery, I could not be more happy and satisfied with my experience. Ailla, my consultant/case manager, was with me from my very first consultation through all of my post-surgery questions. She is extremely kind, smart, accessible, and understood the procedure I had done extremely well. When I was concerned about not enough fat surviving the procedure, she suggested I add PRP to my fat transfer to breast (which I hadn't ever heard of doing beforehand) which can aide in the survival of newly transferred fat... and I'm so glad she knew to suggest this!! I could not be more satisfied with my entire experience. It has been 6 days since my surgery date and I am over the moon with my results and so happy to have Ailla by my side. Dr. Ben Lee was my surgeon and performed my liposculpture and breast shaping with perfection. I am petite and was worried I wouldn't have enough fat for the procedure, but Dr. Ben Lee utilized each of my "problem areas" and harvested an incredible amount of fat for my breasts. I consider Dr. Ben Lee to be perhaps the best plastic surgeon I've ever come across at this point in my life. He truly has an artist's eye. At the same time, he is SO kind, knowledgeable, funny, charming, compassionate, and intelligent. Before going into surgery I felt like I was in good hands. He truly understood my goals, vision, etc., and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my body but him. Afterwards, I was 10000% sure I had picked the perfect person to do my fat transfer to the breasts. Thank you so much to Wave.... You guys are the best! read more

I was interested in getting my skin to look more vibrant for years. I tried various of creams and facial lotions out on the market and that searching for the one that is just right for me and it has been one of my favorite activities since highschool. Because I am employed now and makes some money, I wanted to try out something more advanced. I searched things that are amazing like how microneedle treatment in Korea with extracts are really good for the skin's health inside and out. I tried to search in Los Angeles that has this procedure and unfortunately, not many places offered it. Only 2 places had it and I decided to go for Wave because other place looks cheap... So in this place, this microneedle is called icured microneedle and I can either use my own blood as an extract or their special extract. I decided to get both because they were on promotion for it. Using my own blood can sound... a bit creepy, but at the same time it is less creepy than something foreign going into your body. The procedure didn't really hurt or anything and I just went home right away to avoid the sun. After about a week or so, my skin just glowed really nicely even without any lotion or cream. Of course, I still applied to see how far I can reach with the cream, but it is just amazing thing out there. I really recommend this if you have dry skin or looking to have glowy skin like how I wanted my skin to be. read more

I wanted to get upper blepharoplasty, so I researched a lot of places. The other doctors that I went to quoted me a ridiculous price point or just acted like they were the shiz. They didn't even listen to what I wanted and suggested I get some other extraneous procedures as well. Anyway, when I had my consultation at Wave, I was immediately impressed. The Irvine facility is very clean and accessible, located on the second floor in the Diamond Jamboree plaza. Viola was super nice and friendly when I came in for my first consultation. She was personable and chatted with me like old friends. I also consulted with Dr. Ho, who is one of the 3 surgeons at this place. She's extremely kind and patient. She also listened to what I had to say and made some suggestions here and there. She also has a very calm soothing voice which really eased me on the day of the surgery ~~~ FYI -- all surgeries are done in their LA K-Town location. Make sure you factor this in when scheduling your operations. It's been a week since I got the procedure and I'm happily waiting for my eyes to heal! The follow-up is very easy and smooth as well. If you're looking to get your upper bleph done, I highly recommend this place. THANK YOU WAVE!!!! read more

Before going to Dr. Ho, I had double eyelid surgery from another doctor a year ago. I was very unhappy with the results because it was not much of a difference from my original eyes. I came across Dr. Ho on YouTube from a blogger that recorded her double eyelid journey with Wave Plastic Surgery. Her results were AMAZING so I booked a consultation soon after. Dr. Ho is very sweet and was very thorough as to what the outcome of my eyes will potentially look like. I felt very comfortable with her throughout my entire process and had no problems. It's been 5 months since my eyelid surgery and I could not be any happier with the results! Since it was my second surgery, I was afraid I would run into some complications or just end up looking worse. That was not the case at all and I'm SO thankful for Dr. Ho. I get compliments all the time from family and friends saying how natural my eyes look. It's only been a few months so I can only imagine how much better they will look later! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ho she is amazing at what she does and she makes you feel at ease. I really wish I had known about her my first time getting eyelid surgery! read more

I'm so glad that I chose Dr. Ho for my eyelid surgery. I have struggled with having a double eyelid on one side and slight crease on the other side since I was kid. When I had my first consultation with her, I told her about my friend who had incisional double eyelid surgery and that was what I wanted. She examined my eyes, informed me about the different types of eyelid surgery, and told me what I needed was non-incisional surgery for just my one eye. I loved how honest she was about it even though I first came in with thoughts of getting incisional eyelid surgery. I was really nervous going into it, but she was always so reassuring. After I was done with surgery, I was literally shocked at how even my eyelid was compared to the other one. They literally look the same and there's no difference whatsoever. She was super nice and also very professional whenever I went to go for a checkup! She really cares about her patients and I recommend her to anyone who's looking into double eyelid surgery. I'm super happy about the results and no one can even tell I got surgery done. read more

I was particularly impressed by their personalized approach; they carefully assessed my needs and tailored their recommendations to suit my goals. The treatments were performed with precision and care, and the results exceeded my expectations. I appreciated their use of advanced technology and high-quality products, which reassured me of the clinic's commitment to safety and effectiveness. Overall, this clinic offers a perfect balance of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. Whether you're looking for subtle enhancements or more transformative treatments, I highly recommend this clinic for anyone considering medical aesthetics. It's clear they prioritize client satisfaction and deliver excellent results. read more

I wanted to wait a full 6 months to see how my results from my coolsculpting treatment were like and WOWZERS!! Not that I saw huge drastic results, but I definitely see a reduction Im happy with!! To he honest, the consultant did let me know saying it is a 20-25% reduction and isn't a replacement for surgery. I didn't have too high of hopes, but knowing my lifestyle and habits, I'll try anything!! The results were way better than I have hoped and am curious to try other treatments here. Thanks WAVE for giving me an honest consultation and a comfortable experience throughout all my procedures. I will say the treatment is a little more painful that I thought.. But hey, the results are worth it!! All the staff members are super nice and helpful as well.. I will definitely be coming back! :D read more

My experience with Wave was very pleasant. My consultant was Jinny. Definitely recommend her- During my consultation Jinny was very friendly, informative with the surgical procedures, and very patient with letting me take my time to make my decisions. She never let me feel rushed or pressured and was also very accomodating when I wanted to make last minute changes with my procedure. Any questions or concerns I had, I was able to contact Jinny right away. She was consistent in checking up on me and offered me tips n tricks to make sure I get the best out of my procedure. Fast forward to after my procedure, I receive plenty compliments from my friends. I am very happy with my results performed by Dr. Kwon. I definitely recommend Wave and would come back for future services! read more

I went to visit the WAVE office and that's where I met the queen of all injectors, Jennifer. Jennifer evaluated my face and pointed out that I had a flat chin and advised me that Voluma would help provide more definition and give me a nice profile. This was my first time getting any type of filler so I was nervous that the injection itself would be painful, but it actually didn't hurt one bit. From a scale of 0-10, 10 being the most painful, I'd rate it a 0. Yes, that's right, ZERO. Jennifer was attentive, kind, and so informative. The experience felt like such a breeze thanks to her. Who knew fillers in the chin would make such a difference?! I'll tell you, Jennifer did. ;) Thanks for giving me such a fleeky side profile, I'm totally obsessed! read more

I went to WAVE for Picosure Laser procedure. I met with Jinny a knowledgeable consultant who gave me a great deal on the procedure. The procedure was performed by Dr. Kwon who is very skillful and friendly. The Picosure Laser procedure works for me. I wanted to remove or lighten my sun spots, age spots, pigments, so after first procedure, I was 50% lighter, some spots were gone, after second procedure, the spots were 80% lighter, most of the lighter spots were completely gone. I can't wait for my third procedure next month which I am sure it will improve even more. I am glad Picosure works for me. Thanks to Jinny and Dr. Kwon. FYI. I am a Chinese male with light to medium skin complexion. read more

So I talked to Michelle Guo, I don't want to continue use that, could you return my money back.

Sound my money will be wasted. read more

This is a place where people are treated professionally.. Dr lee could not have done a better job on my face and neck lift but in my case the IRVINE team is truly the success of this business. It all started with Jinny, my consultant who helped me throughout the entire process.. she was so honest & squeezed me into all the scheduling so everything was so much easier. Ellie helped me with all my post operative follow up treatments that helped me heal so much faster than my last surgery 20 years ago. So thank you Ellie & Jinny. Lastly thank you Dr lee.. your work is truly amazing! My face has never looked better.. read more

This place was a little hard to find and i was frustrated because my friend asked me to meet here... I don't live around Irvine and it was hard for me to drive all the way down here already. But, when I arrived there, I was greeted by the owner of this place and she gave me cookie for coming to her shop. She also asked me how was the search to this place and I told her honestly and she also gave me free drink... She was the one of the rare shop owner that I ever seen these days. I recommend this place to anyone. This might be just small bob a shop attached to some mall, but it is really sweet and kind place. read more

It's my first time at Wave Irvine and I am very happy to have been greeted with a warm welcome by the front girls, Nikky, Katelyn, and Michelle. The girls are so friendly and very hospitable, in which they offered me coffee while I was waiting in the lobby. Bella, my consultant was so sweet and very informative. She was patient with all my questions. The facility is kept very clean and my nurse, Sai, was the most professional and warm hearted person I've ever met. Her smile is everything and she is extremely detail oriented when it came to my Botox treatment. I will definitely come again! read more

Just got my TMJ infection done by Dr Kwan today; he's very approachable pleasant to talk to. He explained the whole injection procedure in detail, and explained his approach to TMJ injection site injection which will release the muscle tension on the jaw without affecting the patient's ability to smile normally. The pain level of the injection I would say it's 2/10 after the application of analgesic ointment. 15 mins after the injection , I feel that the tension in my jaw had released a lot, and I hope that tonight I can have good night sleep. read more
