    Lindsay D.

    I have experienced weight gain and weight loss and pregnancy and breastfeeding and weight gain and weight loss, and needless to say my breasts were deflated. Even though I was still a D cup they were not happy or perky, so I decided I wanted to invest in a pick me up so to speak. I wanted to refill what I already had, and I didn't want a ton of scarring from an anchor breast lift. Trying to find a doctor who would listen to what I wanted and not just say no this is what I want to do, or no you can't do that, this is the only way. Dr. Bandy and her staff listened to what I wanted. She of course was realistic with me and told me honest answers like this may not be possible or if you do that, you won't get this result, or this is the likely outcome, and of course she followed with a why/explanation. I personally loved that! Because at least I felt heard. I felt like my wants and desires were important. I didn't feel like I was at a fast food restaurant. She didn't make me feel bad for wanting saline so I could get the size I wanted/needed. Other doctors down talked saline and tried to say only the more expensive silicone were any good. Other doctors made me feel like my wants didn't matter because it didn't fit into their mold of what they wanted to do. Dr. Bandy was always supportive of my desired look and helping me achieve it. Her staff was always amazing! They were all Super friendly and very knowledgeable, and always happy to answer my questions, and never treated me like a burden. (Where other facilities made me feel like I was an inconvenience to them) Dr. Bandy and her staff were amazing! My surgery went great, my recovery went great, and I and my Husband are completely satisfied and happy with my results. I am not finished with my journey yet, I hope for more kids, and to lose more weight, so when I am done I will definitely be visiting Dr. Bandy and her staff again for a tummy tuck, and maybe a little more in the breasts. If you had bad experiences with consultations with other doctors, or have reservations or concerns. Dr. Bandy's office is the place to go! (PS the office is beautiful and very clean and COVID compliant as well if that is of any concern )

    Lipo and fat transfer

    Here is a picture of my scar revision. Doctor Bandy did an amazing job. Every other surgeon I went to told me that I needed an extended tummy tuck. Here are my results with no tummy tuck only lipo and Jplasma

    Does Dr. Amy perform explant surgery? If so, what is an approximate estimate for explant with no new implant but instead a fat transfer liposuction with minor or no lift or modification?

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.

His office arranged to have me seen by Dr. Kosins immediately. Dr. Kosins identified the problem which was an encapsulated breast implant and was able to have me scheduled for surgery the following week. I was very skeptical about undergoing surgery because I have severe sleep apnea and a vocal cord paralysis. Dr. Kosins provided me with words of reassurance, which gave me the confidence to move forward with the procedure. The surgery went forward without any complications, and my pain decreased significantly. Now it is totally gone. Dr. Kosins was very knowledgeable about complications with breast implants and handled the situation brilliantly. I am very pleased with my results. His office staff is also very friendly and professional. The post operative care provided by his staff was top notch.

Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the outcome of my breast augmentation and with the level of follow-up support afterward. I had surgery on May 5, 2025. Around 4-5 months post-op, I began noticing significant asymmetry developing. By the time I returned for my follow-up appointment in September, the issue had already become very noticeable. At this point, I developed capsular contracture on my left side, causing the breast to feel hard, tight, and unnatural. On the right side, the implant dropped significantly lower than the left, creating visible asymmetry and uneven nipple positioning. I also experienced poor scar healing around my right areola, with the scar remaining thick, raised, and persistently itchy nearly a year later. To be fair, Dr. Kosins did acknowledge the asymmetry during my September appointment, discussed revision options with me, and his office provided information regarding the Allergan warranty coverage. I understand capsular contracture is a known risk of breast augmentation surgery and not necessarily the result of negligence. However, what left me disappointed was the lack of continued follow-up and support afterward. After the initial discussion regarding revision options and warranty information, there was no further outreach, follow-up phone call, scheduling assistance for next steps, or even scheduling of my one-year post-op appointment/check-in. As a patient navigating an upsetting complication less than a year after surgery, that absence of communication left me feeling unsupported and alone in the process. I never expected perfection, and I understand complications can happen with any surgery. But when complications do occur, communication, reassurance, and aftercare matter just as much as the surgery itself. Patients deserve to know not only how successful outcomes are handled, but also how they are supported when results do not go as planned.

It truly gave me my confidence back. Fast forward to 2026, I realized I didn't just want to feel good on the outside anymore. I wanted to feel good on the inside too. As I got older, I found myself constantly exhausted, struggling with brain fog, low libido, no motivation, and just feeling hopeless. As a business owner and a mom of two busy boys with sports and endless activities, I felt like I was running on empty every single day. I reached out to Dr. Sherry, and she truly listened. She took the time to understand what I was experiencing and created a personalized plan just for me. She started me on supplements that were tailored to my specific needs, along with NAD+ injections. I began everything immediately, and within just a few days I noticed an incredible difference. I started this journey in February 2026, and now, in August, I can honestly say I feel like a completely different person. I wake up every morning with natural energy, a clear mind, and the motivation to tackle my day. My focus has improved tremendously, my brain fog is gone, and I no longer rely on multiple sources of caffeine just to make it through the day. My libido has also significantly improved, which has been life changing. More recently, I started Reta under Dr. Sherry's guidance to help me reach my personal weight goals. I felt great on it from the beginning. The only side effect I experienced was feeling a little tired the first day, but after that I was back to normal and have continued feeling my best. The key is staying consistent with the supplements every day. Dr. Sherry emphasizes how important it is to "stack" them and trust the process, and she is absolutely right. What I appreciate most about Dr. Sherry is how passionate she is about women's health. She is constantly educating and encouraging women through her social media, reminding us that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish. It's necessary. So many women don't realize how much our bodies change as we age or how much better we can actually feel with the right support. I am 35 years old, and I honestly feel better now than I did in my 20s. I've had the privilege of working with both Dr. Sherry and Dr. Sean Kalashadi, and I can genuinely say they make you feel like family instead of just another patient. They truly care about every person who walks through their doors, and that level of compassion is hard to find. Thank you both for helping me become the healthiest, happiest version of myself.

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 on Friday 4/4/25 after scheduling an appointment which was a pleasure and Dr Shamoun is…read moreso handsome, he is absolutely perfect! He spent an hour with me explaining what I can do to improve my self image. I love him and want him to make me young again. He is an artist and believes in a natural look. The office is beautiful and comfortable. Parking is easy. He is so engaging and really listens to what his patients goals are. He has a great staff so that's a great indication that he treats everyone with respect and kindness.

    First off, I am very disappointed to write this review, though I feel the need to warn others. I…read morewaited a year and a couple months to have him work on my nose to fix it. He even handled my court case and made $15,000 off of that which we lost the case and we are in debt from all of my nose surgeries. I had emailed him about an estimate for my nose, it was around $30,000. I had my consultation once again after the waited time period, we talked about fixing the holes (dents in my nose from missing cartilage), and fixing the irregularities. I booked the non refundable deposit of $1,000 after meeting with him and scheduled the surgery thinking the quote would similar to what he quoted me on email. The receptionist (I can't say names on yelp), sent me a quote of $187,050. I was floored. I lost the deposit money and we can't afford almost $200,000 for a nose job. I am filled with so many questions of why? Where did we get so lost? My emails are ignored now. I lost the money to the lawyer to the last surgeon who botched me, we're in debt from 4 surgeries that botched me, and I put all my eggs in one basket as to the hope for him to fix me for good. We can't even get a loan for $200,000. I'm really down and absolutely shocked that he said he would help me, but surprised me with a price tag that's insurmountable for what we can afford. It's saddening. My hope is gone for surgeons. They're greedy and money hungry. I hope this review gets him to read what emotional toll this has taken on me, and to think before you charge a patient $200,000 to fix irregularities on their nose. I'm no millionaire or billionaire, I'm a mom raising a toddler who has had a really hard time looking in the mirror. I wish he would have kept his word. Only God will judge us at the end as to how we treated those in need of help but couldn't afford a quarter million dollars to get it.

    I have had the best experience with Dr. Steven IP and his staff. From day one I felt comfortable…read moreand was given all information needed for breast augmentation surgery. This had been something I wanted to do for a while but didn't feel the time was right or I was reluctant since it is a major change. I was looking for a Dr. who had experience and success working with smaller framed women like myself and was recommended Dr. Ip. I did research on my own and talked to other surgeons in the area. I still felt most confident choosing Dr. Ip. I am happy I did because my results are very flattering while still being the size I wanted. Im pleased with the results, follow ups, and communication to any questions I have. Dr. Ip goes above & beyond to make sure patients are informed before, during and after surgery. Pricing was very reasonable especially for Newport Beach / Southern California area. Thankful for wonderful service, results and information and highly recommended! :)

    I had such a great experience with Dr. Steven Ip and his entire team. From my consultation through…read moresurgery and recovery, I felt like he really listened to what I wanted rather than trying to push me toward a procedure I wasn't comfortable with. I had previously been told by another surgeon that I would need a breast lift to get the result I wanted, but I really did not want the additional scars or a lift if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Dr. Ip took the time to evaluate my anatomy and gave me another option that made much more sense for me. We ultimately went with Motiva Ergonomix implants placed over the muscle/subfascial, without a lift, and I am SO happy that I trusted him. My surgery and recovery were honestly easier than I ever expected. I had very minimal pain, never needed the prescription pain medication, and felt extremely well taken care of throughout the entire process. I'm now several weeks out and already love my results more and more as everything continues to settle. They look beautiful, feminine and proportionate to my body, which was exactly what I wanted. What I appreciated most about Dr. Ip was that I never felt pressured or like there was only one "correct" option. He listened to my concerns, worked with my anatomy and my goals, and ultimately gave me the result I was hoping for without putting me through a procedure I didn't want. Choosing a plastic surgeon is such a personal decision, and I did a LOT of research before making mine. I'm genuinely so happy I chose Dr. Ip and would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering breast augmentation.

    I'm a breast cancer survivor and my reconstruction was a mess! My breasts were two different sizes…read moreand there was no padding, bra or shell that could make them look even. I wouldn't wear any form fitting tops for the past six years. I met Dr. Savalia over the summer for consultation and his office was very accommodating to schedule me in late November due to some prior commitments. I love my breasts! They look pretty damn close to natural and I'm confident in wearing form fitting tops and even bathing suits. I love the work so much that I'm inspired to get back to my pre-cancer body and have been working out again once I was released. If you EVER need revision work, or even a first time augmentation, I highly recommend Dr. Savalia and his office staff. He was recommended to me by my breast surgeon who did my mastectomy and a friend who is also a BC survivor.

    I recently had a lift and augmentation done with Dr. Savalia, and I couldn't be happier with my…read moredecision. I had consultations with eight different doctors throughout Orange County, and he was the last one I met with. As soon as I had my consultation with him, I knew he was the one. He had the perfect balance of confidence and bedside manner that I was looking for. He was knowledgeable, honest, and self-assured without being dismissive or rushed. I felt completely comfortable and confident that he understood my goals and could achieve exactly what I wanted. In fact, I allowed him to pick my size and I couldn't be happier. To be honest, I was terrified of the pain and recovery. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it actually was. I had my surgery on a Wednesday, and with the help of Dr. Savalia's pain management regimen and post-op guidance, I was already feeling significantly better by Friday. I didn't need anything, not even Tylenol,after Thursday night. By Monday I was having to stop myself from doing every day things because of how good I felt and back to normal. I truly believe this had everything to do with his surgical technique and extensive experience.
