I just had a preservation rhinoplasty with Dr. Frankel. I am now just 10 days post op and I'm already so thrilled!! I asked him to make it as natural as possible and to make it still look like me and he more than delivered! It is still me! I couldn't have asked for closer to what I envisioned. He is very very kind and trustworthy!! I was very nervous before getting surgery, esp with my wedding coming up, but I absolutely made the right decision!! Thank you Dr. Frankel!!!!!!! read more

I recently had two procedures by Dr Frankel assisted by Dr Levine. The results are amazing. They are the highest skilled surgeons who are so informative with impeccable knowledge along with cutting edge techniques. The most of all they are so sincere and caring. Thank you! read more

Stay away at all costs. See my photos and cancel any plans you have to see him or have surgery with him! All the bad reviews are true. My nose was botched by Dr frankel more than once. He messed up my nose to a point where the soft tissues got damaged and he kept trying to fix it making it worse and worse. The worst part was the last surgery I had with him, he only partially put me to sleep so I was in a twilight zone and it was terrible and he asked me if he could put a graft from my ear into my nose and I said absolutely no. He asked the anesthesiologist to put me to sleep fully and did it anyways while I was under. When I woke up I told him how upset I was and he said I needed to trust that he made the right decision without my consent. Well a few months later the graft warped and was coming out of my nose and he had to remove it. He charged me every single time! I was desperate to look normal again and trusted that he could fix his own mistakes but he couldn't and charged me every time. I just wanted to look normal again and he blamed the issues on my healing and said there is nothing he could do to or anyone could do to fix it. See my photos. I was beautiful before he touched me and I just wanted the tip lifted and nose thinner and he royally screwed me up. Not only that but when I asked for a refund he offered an insulting $900 in kenalog Injections (which by the way destroyed my skin tissue that he did!) and refused to refund anything else. I paid well over $20k in just revisions with him. He also asked me to sign a document letter not to sue him. I have All the email exchanges. This was all five years ago now. The reason I am writing this review today is because I needed to physically and mentally heal from this trauma. I wore a mask for years hiding my face because of Dr frankel. Thankfully I found an amazing Dr who not only fixed me but gave me my dream nose in one perfect surgery! So Dr frankel, it wasn't my healing , it was your negligence and lack of skill! I am so angry I ever walked into your office. The first time I consulted with him he told me my nose "looked like a penis." I don't know why I didn't run away at such a crude comment but I was told he was good and thought my surgical request was easy enough. Biggest mistake of my life. I am lucky to have been fixed by another surgeon that literally gave me my dream Barbie nose. I am so confident and more beautiful than ever now. Anyone botched by frankel, don't go back for revisions with him. Walk away and have faith you can be fixed too. Dr frankel you should be ashamed of yourself for doing what you did to me. Karma will come for you and your dishonest, unethical practices. Feel free to message me anytime and i will spare you trauma and help anyone going through what I had do. Dr frankel I will never back down now that I am healed from your butchery. My review and photos are up and I will post everywhere to save others from you! read more

Dr. Frankel and his staff are absolutely the best! I was referred to his office by a friend and I am so glad I choose him to do my surgery. Let's face it (no pun intended) it's tough to be a woman of a certain age in LA but Dr. F gave me my confidence back and I'm incredibly grateful. I love the no bs approach and he's not going to try and "upsell" you. I was so apprehensive going in for my consultation and actually, needed two consultations just so I could be sure and they had no issue with me coming back in with additional questions. The actual procedure went smoothly and I was back to work after 10 days. Easy peasy, I would do it again with his office in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr F! read more

Andrew S.Frankel,MD - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I do not recommend this office for rhinoplasties. I had a revision rhinoplasty here years ago and was disappointed by the results. My nose did not come out looking like I wanted (see my before and after pics and morph). Also, Dr. Frankel took some cartilage from my ear to use in my nose and left the ear kinda messed up (see my ear pics). I had an ear revision with Dr. John Reinisch to try to fix what Dr. Frankel did to my ear, and you can read my yelp review of Dr. Reinisch and see the ear revision pics there if you want. Also, since the nose surgery with Dr. Frankel years ago, my nose has run every day, like as if I have a medium-level cold all the time. Sometimes small amounts of blood come out too. And sometimes I also have pain in my nose and have to use ice packs to control it. I believe the pain is caused by permanent stitches left in my nose during the surgery. Read up on these if you're considering them because for some people they can cause long-lasting problems. Lastly, reviews I've written of Dr. Frankel on some other websites (like healthgrades and vitals) have disappeared, and were quickly replaced with many glowing, 5-star reviews. Please be wary of fake reviews for ALL doctors. And realize that some websites delete the bad reviews. I don't want you to end up with a wonky bird beak for a nose and a deformed ear like I have. read more

This post is difficult to write. I've felt so much regret in the past 16 months that reliving it through these words hurts. After a night of laughing so hard that I was crying, my friend noticed how I couldn't breathe through my nose. She offered some advice & a recommendation to see Dr. Frankel, the ENT she worked for as an injector at the clinic across the way (she's since left). Fast forward to sitting in his office. I explained my concerns, how I didn't want to look any different but hoped that any deviation that caused my breathing problems might be fixed. Enter the worst mistake of my life.. Dr. Andrew Frankel, the ENT who likes to play plastic surgeon on womens' faces. He explained that there was a deviation and he could also help me with the look of my nose, he actually suggested I change the direction of my "angry looking" nostrils. Shocked, I felt embarrassed and also unaware of how I apparently looked to others. Of course I would take his opinion seriously and trust that he knows best. He was able to show me on his trusty computer program how easy it would be to just fix the problem, allowing me to still seemingly look the same. Of course, I blame myself for not doing my due diligence to research this man. If I had, I would have seen the number of bad reviews written for his disastrous work. And, there is a mutual concern, among a number of woman who have had the same exact outcome...he may be allowing his Fellows (medical students) to perform the surgeries...which is highly illegal. As soon as the cast came off the bridge of my nose I knew something was horribly wrong. My nose was enormous. He explained it was swollen but I could see that the entire look of it was different. As I continued to express my concern, the Dr. invited me to his office at 6 months post-op time and explained he had in fact lengthened the tip of my nose (to help change my nostrils) by adding cartilage to it! First, it hadn't dawned on me at that moment, but later I would come to question where the cartilage even came from, nothing was grafted from my ear or rib and there was NO DISCUSSION of that even being a possibility before the surgery. Andrew Frankel then explained I would have to wait the full 12 months he claims is necessary to heal, but really it's because there's a time frame in legally pursuing botched surgeries. 12 months after the disastrous surgery I went in for my 1 year post-op exam. The first words Dr. Frankel said as he entered the room was "you're twisted". My huge nose had actually healed crooked. Something the swelling had conveniently hidden. Not only is it crooked. My nostrils are totally asymmetrical, I have cartilage protruding from the tip of my nose, and I still have difficulty breathing. It now will also drip for no apparent reason. It's been a total nightmare. I am attaching two before & after photos of how Dr. Frankel ruined my nose and then tried to charge another $3000 to fix it his mistake. I'll add that his costs are extremely high! He charges $13,000 for a procedure that I now realize should not cost more than $8,000. He is 100% a fraud and he ruined my nose, as well as my abilizty to like the way I look in any light. read more

AMAZING WORK! I love my new nose and the cast only came off today, which means it's still swollen and bruised, but the shape is perfect. Dr. Frankel was so honest from the beginning and told me that while my nose did have a few flaws, it was in pretty good shape and if I wanted a surgeon that was going to give me a whole new nose, he wasn't the right surgeon for me. After years of research I learned that the best nose job results come from following the natural nose line and instantly, I knew he was the one and didn't meet with any other surgeons. His office is thorough, kind, and quick to respond with any questions. I also had my chubby cheeks taken out and injections, all of which look amazing. I will definitely be back for a few more things I want fixed. read more

Brilliant and true artist! Dr. Frankel came highly recommended to me by another surgeon. I personally do not trust all those "Instagram stars" with all those retouch before and after.. so when my previous surgeon recommended Dr. Frankel I knew I'm in excellent hands! Well, my results are way past my expectations! And let me mention that I'm in the beauty industry and extremely picky and do not want to look operated and fake! Dr. Frankel is an artist; my results are so natural and undetected. My whole experience was nothing but pleasant. The office is like you stepped into a gorgeous boutique hotel in Paris. The staff so warm and welcoming. I am a spa owner and pay attention to those elements. I know I will be back to see Dr. Frankel! And will recommend him to all my clients. He is the BEST! So grateful to you Dr. Frankel! I look so much more youthful and fresh. read more

Nice guy-so so with filler and Botox. Not worth the $ He put filler in my upper lid and it looks absolutely terrible. I've waited over 3 months hoping it would improve and it looks terrible. Fearful to let him him fix it. Less is more with filler. He blobbed it and it's hanging over my eye. Couldn't open my eye for almost a month. Just awful. read more

I highly recommend Dr Frankel. He has performed a variety of surgeries on me between 2011 and 2020, some of which have been his original work and some have been revisions (fix it jobs) of previous surgeries performed by incompetent doctors. I consider myself to be a cosmetic surgery veteran! Between my poor choice of doctors pre-2011 and subsequently finding Dr. Frankel, I offer up my experience in the hope that it may help others choose what's right for their situations. Dr. Frankel's biggest challenge was my nose revision. Two incompetent cosmetic surgeons left me with a nose that was not only ugly, but I had breathing problems as well. He successfully corrected the aesthetic issue, and I now have a nicely shaped and balanced nose for my face. However fixing the breathing problem was more difficult. Although better, my ability to breath is not what it was. I do not blame Dr. Frankel, and am happy with simply better. Revision doctors carry a heavy burden, and sometimes damage caused by previous surgeries cannot be fully undone. Another of Dr. Frankel's revisions entailed fixing a small area of sagging skin near my mouth. This occurred when one of the previous surgeons pulled my skin too tightly during a face lift, leading to tissue damage. The unnatural sagging bothered me terribly, especially as I got older. Dr. Frankel cut out the extra skin, stitched it to perfection and it's now impossible to see either sagging or scaring. I eventually also got a lower face and neck lift that I am thrilled with. In 2020 I returned to Dr. Frankel for a recommendation on what, if anything else, I could do to continue "the good fight" against gravity. He suggested a lip lift, and explained how lips loose shape, fullness and suppleness with age. I took his advice and am amazed at how this relatively simple procedure can add beauty and balance to the entire face. Shortly thereafter I went to Yelp's Website to write a review for Dr. Frankel, something I had previously neglected to do. Once there I was surprised and dismayed to see some one-stars. I understand that no one doctor will be right for everyone, especially since cosmetic surgery is so subjective. One must also understand and accept that any kind of surgery can carry risk. But equally important for readers of reviews, especially those who are newcomers to the world of cosmetic surgery, is effectively developing the ability to decipher between honest and dishonest reviews. After reading the one-stars I am convinced they are largely dishonest. I absolutely don't believe the reviewer who claims procedures were performed without permission. Neither do I believe the client who was supposedly "forced" into making a recorded positive review. I don't understand why Yelp would post a review with insinuations of organ trafficking on Dr. Frankel's page. The innuendo that Dr. Frankel lets interns perform work on patients under anesthesia is truly ridiculous. Many of the negative reviews read similarly, as if one troubled person (perhaps recruiting friends, perhaps using different names) is writing from the same script, the same template to spew venom and outlandish accusations. After my unfortunate experiences with the first two unqualified surgeons (my mix of not fully researching doctors bios (public reviews were barely even available back then), trusting an unreliable recommendation, inexperience and some bad luck), I interviewed a total of ten surgeons before deciding on Dr. Frankel. I saw something special in him: A clear, calm, energetic intellect, a constant curiosity, and a personality that emanates warmth and empathy. He was and remains the right choice for me. read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Frankel. My daughter has been unhappy with her nose since she was 10 years old. She asked after turning 16, when she could at least meet with a plastic surgeon. It just so happens that I had my nose done when I was about 35 and Dr. Frankel was my doctor. He did an incredible repair for me as it had definitely been broken at some point in high school. So of course I took her to see him. For as long as I live I will never forget the examination he did and how he made her feel. She was the happiest young woman that day. I almost cried when she said, "I've waited 6 years for this day!" She underwent the surgery and Dr. Frankel was amazing. His explanation and bedside manner are second to none. It is now four weeks post surgery and she is so confident and loves her nose. Thank you Dr. Frankel and thank you to your team at the Lasky Clinic. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Frankel and his services! I have been frequenting his establishment for just over two years now and every time I visit Dr. Frankel and his staff are always so welcoming. During my first visit, I was a nervous wreck and Dr. Frankel could sense my feelings and immediately worked to gain my complete trust with his professionalism and calm demeanor. Since then, I visit every six months and each time I experience the same level of service. Phenomenal. Furthermore, he's always happy to answer any question I have and doesn't pressure me into buying additional service. He just educates. Every member of his staff at his office are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and truly care about their clients. The office is immaculate and the decor is extremely inviting. Dr. Frankel and his team are truly the greatest!! read more

Over the past 18 years Dr Frankel has won my trust, keeping me looking fresh and young, (around 10 yrs younger than my chronological age) with minimally invasive procedures like Facial Fat Transfers, Fillers, Botox and surgery to tighten the skin under my chin, eliminating my turkey neck. My procedures have been simple, straightforward and without complications. My results have been consistently natural looking....family and friends (even my boyfriend who is against anything "unnatural") can never tell when I've had something done. They just think I have good genes, thanks to his amazing sense of aesthetics. I'm so grateful my friend suggested I see him; he has a great bedside manner and over the years has taught me that less is more. read more

I was referred to Dr. Frankel by a friend nearly two decades ago, and I will forever be grateful for that referral. At our first consultation, I was put well at ease by Dr. Frankel's straightforward, intuitive, and caring demeanor. The treatments I have benefitted from over the years range from Botox and fillers, to Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift), and each and every procedure has resulted in absolute satisfaction. Dr. Frankel informs me of what to expect during the healing process of each treatment, and every one has gone just as planned. These procedures have not been huge life-altering changes but nonetheless, have had a profound effect on how I see and feel about myself. And, no matter the procedure (or cost) I always feel respected and cared for by Dr. Frankel and his team. Each time I enter the office, Viviana and the entire staff are not only professional but incredibly friendly and welcoming. Bottom line: Dr. Andrew Frankel is a skilled surgeon who consistently exceeds any and all of my expectations. Thank you, Dr. Frankel, not only for your keen expertise but for the humanity you include in your practice. read more

PLEASE READ Thoroughly BEFORE you schedule a VISIT. I can't even begin to express my dissatisfaction, disbelief and DISSAPOINTMENT with Dr. Frankel, his practice and assistant Vicki. My wife went in for a Septoplasty surgery 13 months ago in which Dr. Frankel charged $12,000 AND took it upon himself to ADD cartilage to the TIP of her nose and has left her nose CROOKED. My wife has been despondent and expressing concerns for the entire year, she went in for her 6 month visit expressing those concerns and she was told the swelling would continue to go down and everything would look JUST as she hoped (although she NEVER requested cartilage to be ADDED to the tip of her nose) At the 6 month appointment they took several photos, ASSURED her the tip of her nose would turn up and swelling would go down and then MADE my wife call and do a RECORDED message stating she was "pleased with the surgery at this stage"!! My wife then went in for her 12 month visit in which Dr. Frankel's first words to her were "You're NOSE is TWISTED" to which she replied she'd been expressing THAT concern ALL YEAR! Dr. Frankel agreed that AFTER recovering, after enduring the pain, discomfort and recuperation of a Septoplasty she would have to go under the knife again and he would have to FIX what he didn't do correctly in the first place. Imagine my DISBELIEF and SHOCK when they then "offered a discounted rate of over $3,000.00" for the anesthesiologist and cost of an operating room "but Dr. Frankel's services are free of charge"! I contacted Vicki and EVEN OFFERED to pay the anesthesiologist in which she flatly expressed NO sympathy whatsoever for my wife's concern, pain and discomfort and very matter of factly stated "THAT was the cost, we're offering you a discounted rate, should I just take her off the schedule if you're not willing to PAY." This review is an accurate account of everything that has transpired and I'd proceed with serious caution and ASK questions and DO your research before undergoing any plastic surgery with Dr. Frankel, such as "do you have your own operating room and if I have to undergo an additional surgery will I have to pay for the operating room fee?" "Will I have to pay the anesthesiologist fee again if everything isn't performed correctly" What type of guarantee will I have that this surgery will be completed correctly and what if any additional fees will I be required to pay if I have to undergo an ADDITIONAL surgery. Please feel free to contact me if you have ANY questions regarding this review or Dr. Frankel's services and the unconscionable LACK of professionalism and absolute disregard to a patients concern. One last thing, when I mentioned to Vicki that I'd be writing a review she said "is that EXTORTION?" I've spent $12,000.00 and this ISN'T about the money, it's about principle, doing what's right and ETHICAL and correcting THE MISTAKE YOU MADE in THE FIRST PLACE. Please read other reviews like the one on 4/24/2018 written by A.P. "I don't want you to end up with a wonky bird beak for a nose and a deformed ear like I have." which I wish my wife and I had! Future reviews and lawsuit to follow. read more

I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Frankel. I was very hesitant and careful going into this process, and went to 10+ consultations, but ultimately chose Dr. Frankel. In the consultation, he was not trying to sell himself to me, but was honestly telling me what could be done to my nose that would bring out my best and yield the most natural results. I had seen his prior work and fully trusted that he would both improve my breathing and aesthetically improve my nose in order to fit my face in the best way possible. My parents were also nervous about the process, and would ask him many questions during the consultations, but he answered all of them knowledgeably and explained different aspect of the surgery in order to make us feel more comfortable. I has been about two months since my surgery (a rhinoplasty/septoplasty) and the results become more and more refined each week, as the residual swelling goes down. Even two weeks after surgery, I was able to go out and about without anyone suspecting I had gone under the knife because of how natural the results were. This wasn't the case for a lot of my friends, whose noses after surgery were over-lifted and would eventual drop to a normal level over time. When I asked Dr. Frankel how he avoided this, he answered that he did not need to over-lift the nose to compensate for drooping over time, because he reinforced the nose in a way that it wouldn't move down over time, allowing it to look natural from the start. I couldn't be happier that I chose Dr. Frankel to perform this surgery. The services provided to me at Lasky Clinic were unparalleled and I would recommend Dr. Frankel to anyone saying they are considering this surgery. read more

Dr. Frankel did a rhinoplasty revision on my nose 3 years ago, and I cant begin to tell you what an expert he is. I originally had a botched rhinoplasty 10 years earlier. My tip ended up pinched with a bump on one side, and absolutely no change on the other side. My nostrils were so uneven. I cringed every time i looked at pictures of myself. I had seen about 4 other surgeons for consults prior to Dr. Frankel. He was the only one who actually did a physical examination of my nose during the exam, not just a visual exam. I knew I was in extraordinary hands, when he busted out all these instruments during my consultation. He used them to measure, assess and evaluate my mishapened nostrils and jacked up nasal tip, I had sustained at the hands of another Beverly Hills Butcher (Initials are GT) He ended up harvesting cartilege from my septum to rebuild my tip. My new nose is so incredibly natural looking, symetrical, and pretty. You definately get what you pay for, about 10 grand for this baby, but dont go cheap on your face people. I learned my lesson the hard way! PS: Dr. Frankel has done restylane to my dark under eye circles twice, and they looked awesome as well. read more

Dr Frankel is excellent. Period. I broke my nose maintain biking and went to a PS in Newport Beach for what should have been a simple fix. Dr Ed Domanskis -- avoid him at all costs. Was a total and complete botch job. Long story short, Dr Frankel had to do a 5 hour reconstructive revision to undue the mess Dr D created, with a rib graft, and the result was probably better than my original nose. So very grateful for Dr Frankel's expertise and attention to detail. Great bedside manner too. read more

I had the privilege of being a recent patient of Dr. Andrew Frankel for a rhinoplasty revision. This would have been a tricky and delicate surgery under any circumstances, but in addition, I came to Dr. Frankel with some complications from a past surgery. Dr Frankel made me feel very comfortable that the surgery would be a success. His pre-surgery visits were thoughtful and thorough and I became very confident that I could trust his advice. I'm happy to say that the surgery far exceeded my expectations. My nose is healing exactly as Dr. Frankel promised and I was reassured and guided through every milestone. The products that his office recommended were excellent and I felt vey much at ease in calling the office as often as needed for advice. Dr. Frankel has the eye of an artist and the talent to bring to life what he has conceptualized. read more

Revision neck and lower face lift Dr Andrew Frankel was highly recommended to me by a former patient of his to repair a botched neck lift I had received two years earlier. From the moment I met him, I felt an immediate confidence in his expertise, knowledge and skill. He was humble, honest and humorous, which relieved my anxiety about undergoing the procedure a second time. My results are beautiful--just like he assured me they would be, and I had a remarkably short recovery period. I was treated with the utmost respect and care before, during and after surgery by Dr Frankel and his staff. Dr Frankel is an exceptional surgeon and I highly recommend him. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Frankel for over 20 yrs. He's always been professional, courteous and caring. 15 years ago I had a midline facelift and it has held up all these years. 7 yrs ago he did a Fractional CO2 Laser resurfacing on me for hyperpigmentation. Dr Frankel never tries to push any procedures that you don't request and will discourage over doing it. A year ago I had an adjustment on my nostrils. I had a beautiful natural nose but in recent years my nostrils retracted. This is something I would never consider doing with anyone else. As a former model my appearance is very important to me. I highly recommend Dr Frankel. read more

Dr. Andrew Frankel is a professional, meticulous, precise and compassionate surgeon. From the start, during his consultation, he put me at ease (and my husband) and described the procedures that would work for my browlift, facelift, blepharoplasty, and eyelift. He has a fantastic personality where his humor and kindness mix with his professionalism. He specializes in faces which made him the perfect surgeon for me. I'm very happy with the results. read more

Dr. Frankel is amazing! My review is long over-due, but maybe that's a good thing as it's been about 5 years since my face-lift and it still looks amazing. People who know I had the surgery, say it's the best they've ever seen. People who don't know always say, "how is it that you always look younger?". He was particularly amazing with my neck/chins, which went from saggy, double and ugly, to tight and perfectly sculpted. Dr. Frankel is an artist and I strongly recommend him. read more

I had high expectations for DR Frankel. I had read so many positive things about him online and sen his professional work in many articles/magazines. I had to pay for my consultation, although it was more than any other doctor $250. I figured I don't mind as long as I find the right doctor. I went for a consultation for a revision rhinoplasty and he was friendly during our consultation, didn't smile much but I don't think that is always a bad thing. He explained to me what I needed and that I would need grafting to rebuild my nose. That he would take some from my septum and my ear. He also completed imaging of before and after of what he expects the outcome to look like (essentially photo shopping my images so we are on the same page). I liked this and I left pretty happy with the consultation. He was also very expensive so I asked for a discount, and when I was advised $2000 would be taken off, I was very surprised that so much was reduced but happy. I went home and saw another revision rhinoplasty doctor a few days later who explained the procedure much better than Dr Frankel and advised me in great detail where he would get the cartilage from and exactly where and why he would be placing it in my nose. He also noted my breathing problem and that I needed a graft to help with breathing. He went into so much detail that I felt DR Frankels visit was not as detailed. I did not know all of this new info since Dr Frankel was my first consultation, then I learned I had a lot more questions for him now that I was more educated by the 2nd consultation doctor. I still wanted to know DR Frankels input on my questions since I was trying to decide who would be the best surgeon for me. I wanted to give him a chance to answer my questions since I was still considering him very strongly. I sent Dr Frankels' assistant an email, where I asked some more specifics on the surgery that were not covered during our initial conversation, (since I learned more information after I left his office). Unfortunately, I did not feel the answers made me feel comfortable since they were not very specific or explained well in my opinion. I was left feeling more confused and needed more clarification. I then sent a follow email to clarify the first email and to my surprise, I received an email that Dr Frankel was offended by my email and that he will not perform the surgery on me and that I should look for another surgeon. I was in shock when I read it, I advised my fiance and we both agreed this happened for a good reason and maybe he was not the surgeon for me. I decided to not respond to the email since it would not help me in finding a caring surgeon. I felt that the patient as a whole (and how they are feeling/worries/concernes) was not his strong suit, instead the nose on the patient is. I was very nervous regarding this surgery, and none of my fears were alleviated. I felt horrible that he didn't want to be my surgeon. I couldn't understand why a doctor would be so offended by a patient wanting to be more educated and informed, but I understand all doctors are very different. I just wanted to be an informed patient and learn all my options, instead he felt this was not needed. I was very disappointed. Although I am not angry or upset, I am just like all other patients out there who are seeking not only a strongly skilled surgeon, but someone who cares about the patient and their feelings. I will encourage you to go see him and make a decision for yourself. Just sharing my experience and I hope this helps others in my position. Positive was his office is in a nice area, his office was clean and organized, his assistant was calm, friendly and listened well. I wish him and his office well in the future and hope this helps them also to make some changes in improving patient centered care. read more

This summer I had a rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Frankel and I am extremely happy with the results. Ever since I was little I have always been so insecure about my nose and it was the first thing I would look at when I looked at photos or in the mirror. I always felt like everyone was staring at my nose at all times. I stopped taking photos of myself or posting on social media because I hated the way I looked. Now I am so happy and I finally have a side profile that I am not ashamed of. I can now smile without worrying about my nose drooping at the tip. The office staff is amazing and throughout the whole process checked in on me and made sure that everything was perfect. I was so worried that if I had the surgery, that something was going to go wrong, but Dr. Frankel knew exactly how to make sure I was very comfortable and accommodated to all of my requests. Overall, I am so glad that I decided to go through with the surgery because now I am so confident and have never felt prettier. Dr. Frankel did an amazing job and I am forever grateful. read more

Andrew S.Frankel,MD - The top is the before photo, and the bottom is just a few weeks after the surgery! Such an amazing transformation. I am so thankful! - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Here are the facts: If you're considering a revision rhinoplasty from Dr. Frankl, STAY FAR AWAY. I had several pre-op consultations for a revision rhinoplasty at his office where I was made to feel extremely comfortable and very confident in his medical abilities. I needed very simple tip work. He reassured that he was overly competent and explained how quickly I could get back to work. (my face is a big part of my job) First of all, the surgery takes place at his surgical center located in the same building as his office. I thought this was convenient, but on my surgery day I ended up being taken to small box of a room with a bed and a small window that felt more like the inside of a detention center or prison. I was then escorted downstairs to the basement of this building for the operation. Extremely eery and uncomfortable to say the least. But I really could have gotten over these small annoyances if the end result was anything close to what I had expected. THIS DOCTOR WILL DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO YOUR FACE. period. He left my nose 3x BIGGER than my original nose. It now also has a long list of new issues. This doctor took a perfectly fine nose that needed minor adjustments and created a new nose that is: crooked, has asymmetrical nostrils, breathing issues, protruding cartilage, etc. He has very little aesthetic abilities especially for the female face. My nose literally looks masculine. Also, if you look at his gallery you will notice his tendency to create strong very straight fake cookie cutter "Roman- like" noses, even on ethnic faces! He offered, during my post-op, to fix some of these issues free of charge but then suddenly becomes impossible to reach and receptionists insist his schedule is "too full" for him to see me until MONTHS away. The surgery was over a year ago and the deformed nose he's created on my face has made day to day social interactions very very difficult. It really is a tragedy. Dr. Frankl is a seemingly confident and caring professional, but in the long run you will be left with a nightmare of a nose. At least that was my experience. So just please take caution. I wish I had read something to this extent before going ahead with the operation. It would have saved me a year full of tears and heartache. read more

My teenage daughter needed a rhinoplasty after a soccer injury. She had a fairly traumatic injury that broke her nose and left her with a concussion. She needed to heal from her injuries and then we began to interview surgeons to repair her nose. Dr Frankel was by far the most caring and professional of all the doctors we interviewed. She had her surgery at the end of July and we could not be any happier. Because of the trauma that she sustained the surgery was very complicated, but the results are outstanding. My daughter can breath better and is ecstatic with her results. Thank you for your vision and skill Dr. Frankel. read more

I had a lip lift and mouth corner lift performed by Dr. Frankel on June 8, 2015. I am extremely pleased I choose Dr. Frankel; I believe he gave me an excellent result. At 52 days post op I know I still have more healing to go but with a bit of make up I already feel more attractive than before the surgery. Dr. Andrew Frankel is the best in the business. read more

I accidentally wrote my review in the "Tip" section. Please read it there. I had one issue with Dr. Frankel, although he is still absolutely the most talented surgeon around for face lifts and rhinoplasty, and is a wonderful guy. I also have to say that the Lasky Clinic is absolutely the BEST place to have any plastic surgery. They are very professional and thoughtful and I felt so well cared for. I woke up feeling so COMFORTABLE and well tended to- whereas at other highly rated facilities this was not the case. DR. FRANKEL AND THE LASKY CLINIC ARE REALLY in a league of their own. read more

This review is long overdue, as I've known Doctor Frankel for many years now. Part of the reason I'm writing this today is because I'm eternally grateful for the way he's transformed my nose. I'm also writing this, because I want to help those of you who are considering rhinoplasty, but aren't sure which doctor to go with. Short answer: Dr. Frankel is THE BEST. Period. End of story. Long answer: Here's my story... Several years ago, I was just like you. I had never been 100% happy with my nose. It had a slight bump on the bridge, which didn't photograph that well from certain angles and the tip pulled down when I smiled. Like you, I convinced myself to live with it the way it was, even though it bothered me all the time; even though I would constantly play with it in the mirror and imagine what it would look like without the bump, and with the tip lifted up a bit. Like you, when it came to taking pictures, I would only pose from my better side. And like you, I have an embarrassing number of nose "selfies" on my cellphone, which I've never shown to anyone. (Okay, maybe that's just me.) But like you, I never thought of myself as a "plastic surgery" person. And just like you, I was attractive to begin with. I'm an actress and a model, and no one thought I needed to touch my face. Then one day I was talking to a friend about how I can only sleep on my left side, because I don't get any air through my left nostril. So basically I have to sleep with my right nostril up or else I might suffocate in my sleep. She me asked if I had a deviated septum? I wasn't sure. But now I had a medical reason for rhinoplasty. So, like you, I did a bunch of research and narrowed it down to the best nose doctors in LA. Dr. Frankel's website appealed to me because he says he prefers a classic roman nose (as opposed to those little turned-up noses). Plus, going through his "before and after" photos, you can see his work was conservative and natural. The noses he works on always look harmonious with the face, and if you didn't know the person before, you wouldn't be able to tell they'd had a nose job. The moment I met Dr. Frankel, I could tell he was a total pro with a ton of experience. But he's also a really genuine person who's passionate about what he does and cares enough about his patients to listen to their concerns and answer all of their questions. During my first consultation, he took photos of my nose from all angles. Then he carefully went through them with me and used digital imaging to show me what he would do to reduce the bump on my bridge and raise the tip a bit. But that's just the cosmetic part. He also did a full exam of my nose. He determined that I did in fact have a deviated septum, and assured me that my breathing would improve with surgery. And here's the best part: because of the deviated septum, insurance would cover a large part of the cost. I thanked him and walked out of his office knowing I HAD FOUND MY DOCTOR! The actual surgery was a very easy experience. Dr. Frankel came by beforehand and answered all my last-minute questions. The next thing you know, I was waking up from the anesthesia, and he was right there, reassuring me that everything went well. And it did. It went better than I could have expected. My nose looked just like the digital images we had agreed on. It was natural and conservative. I looked like myself, but better! His wonderful assistant Vicky also sent me information on the best pre- and post-op food and medicine, so I healed like a champ. (It was open surgery, by the way, and you can't see a scar anywhere.) Needless to say, I received tons of compliments afterward, and I even referred a few friends. Plus, my breathing was better, which made it much easier to sleep and work out. Fast forward to this year. I went back to Dr. Frankel, because even though I loved my nose, I wanted to remove a bit more of the columella (cartilage between the nostrils) to make the nose appear a little shorter. This was something he had originally recommended, but I wasn't ready for it at the time. It was such a tiny thing and it was purely cosmetic. But Dr. Frankel, being the PERFECTIONIST that he is, agreed to do it for me--get this--FOR FREE. Not many surgeons are willing to go above and beyond like that. I mean, this guy is a rock star in his field; he doesn't have to. But it's clear Dr. Frankel wants all of his patients to be 100% happy. And the result was (and is!) absolutely beautiful. My refined nose has improved my appearance on-camera and in photos, and has given me more confidence in my day-to-day life. Dr. Frankel is more than just a surgeon, he's an artist. And he's more than just your doctor, he's your friend. His prices are also very fair, considering his talent, and the Lasky Clinic is as comfortable as it is beautiful. I strongly suggest you meet with him before letting anyone else touch your face. Trust me, you'll thank me. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Frankel. Not only is he warm and funny and accessible, despite his prestigious reputation, but he's an excellent doctor - a plastic surgeon as well as an ENT. I went to him about the skin cancer on my nose and he was the only one of the three doctors I consulted who actually examined my nose thoroughly. He came up with an ingenious plan for surgery, and after the usual period of swelling and bruising I ended up with an absolutely beautiful nose that's far superior to the one I had - plus he got rid of my cancer. So it was a win-win for me: the best outcome medically as well as cosmetically. My follow ups with Dr. Frankel have been equally rewarding. Bravo to him and his capable, kind and sensitive staff. read more

I met Dr Andrew Frankel in April of last year after I broke my nose in an accident. He told me I'd need a rib graft to rebuild the bridge of my nose... i am an actress and model with a very distinct pixie look, and he assured me that I would look exactly the same, but that the rib graft would "make the nose stronger". I hesitantly agreed to it, though it definitely seemed extreme to me - but after all, he was the expert. The morning of surgery he sprung it on me that a team of students and his fellow would be watching him perform surgery on me and that this was "routine" (it's not). I don't even remember, but my boyfriend was with me in the room and he remembers - they had me sign it and I was like "you're performing the surgery, right?" And he was like "of course". Cut to: post surgery... bandage comes off... I looked like a MONSTER and my nose was truly enormous and crooked. He assured me this was normal swelling (it wasn't). My nose literally took up half my face. It went down I've the next couple of weeks to a smaller version of the enormous nose... in other words, I still looked like Barbara Streisand, just a less swollen version. He literally gave me a brand new nose. It is one year post op and my nose is crooked, starts at my EYEBROWS and looks like a man's nose. I have been traumatized and devastated. He made me look like an entirely different person and when I came back for my one year follow up he said "yeah, it is crooked and too big. I don't always get it right the first time." WHAT?! He said he'd perform surgery for a whopping $8000 to fix it, and I said it should be FREE since he botched it to begin with, and he laughed it off, as though this was some sort of a joke. He said to his fellow "[insert name here] used to be a famous actress because she had a very unique look". I was dumbfounded. It was almost as if he did this on purpose to me... but why would a supposed esteemed surgeon do this on purpose to a working actress/model if his reputation was on the line?? Well, I'll tell you, because he knows that an actress such as myself would never want to show my face like this & draw attention to it. But I'm digressing. He also told me that I look "Jewish" now. It was truly insane. Needless to say, I did NOT go back to this man, as he was beyond rude and obviously botched me once, he would've botched me even worse if I went back. I also am convinced that his fellows and students did the surgery, as he seemed to have no recollection of what went on during surgery. I have tried taking legal action, but he's no dummy - he makes sure all his bases are covered so that it is impossible to sue him. Even though my surgery was supposed to be reconstructive, he lied in the paperwork and said it was "cosmetic". Lawyers won't rep you if you have an "elective" surgery. It's sick. Why did I lost 3 stars you ask? Because if I posted 1 star, it wouldn't show up on the main page because his minions make sure the negative reviews are all hidden. Go to "reviews not recommended" and you'll find all the other stories similar to mine. I have since connected with 10 other victims of dr Frankel and his fellows... we all have the same story. It's scary. I'm hoping the truth comes out the way Harvey Weinstein's finally did. But that took years. If anyone in the press is reading this and wants to do a piece on Dr Andrew Frankel and his purposeful butchering of beautiful women, feel free to contact me, I can put you in touch with all of the other Frankel victims I know. This review almost doesn't sound real, right? Like it's a bad lifetime movie. But I assure you it is very real and this man has ruined my and the other women's lives. But I'll find a surgeon who can fix me. Probably not in the US though. read more

I had what I consider, "a complete facelift", about two and a half years ago. I was referred to Dr. Frankel from a person he did a cancer removal scar on .. It's been a long time now, but the consultation was thorough, complete, and questions were answered. To be honest, not everything was positive with the results considering what he was working with. The morning of the surgery before you go in, Dr. Frankel talks to you (alone) and draws on the areas of the face where he's going to work. He then goes through the steps again and what to expect afterwards; the day after, the week after, etc . Every patient will be different in the healing process. At that time, Dr. Frankel said, "I don't usually run into this and I haven't done many of them, but looking at your lips I noticed that your smile goes down as if you are always frowning." I can't tell you how many times I looked in the mirror and I thought about the same thing. It's a bit hereditary. When I look at my siblings, I see it there too. He corrected that, and he said, "Well, we really hadn't talked about that so I'm not charging you for that." He did that at the last minute. It's a big difference. He wasn't just out for the money. He is good at what he does and he enjoys his work. ... And now, two and a half years later, I am still going to him. I'm going to him right now for another procedure. read more

This man was not meant to do restylane under ones eyes. He is not detailed, rather careless, and sort of jams it in as quickly as he can under the eye. There were problems! Unevenness... On one side, a huge lump. Ridiculous! I am not aware of how he is with other injectables or surgery, however, with restylane "that injectable"...he should not be allowed to do it as either he's just not good at it or he wasn't trained properly on 'how' to do it. read more

Dr. Frankel was nice and did an ok job.Paid $12,000 and was told that included everything. He then billed my insurance for the surgery center an additional $46,000 and they PAID $42,000 - I only found out when I received the statement. And you wonder why insurance is so screwed up! Spoke with another woman and she found out after the fact her insurance paid too. I complained to their office, no response and I spoke with my insurance company too but to no avail. Apparently they are legally bound to pay this type of out-of-network surgery center. Of course he never offered to reimburse me even half of my expenses. Article in the LA Times about this type of scam several months ago. Where is the crack down on this abuse of the system???? read more

Do your research. This doctor has been sued for malpractice because he is NOT good. Why risk something as important as your face to someone who has even one bad review. He ruined my perfectly normal looking nose into a disfigured mess. If you're reading this review thank your lucky stars because I wish to god I'd seen something like this prior to shoving out 13000 bucks for a surgery that's ruined my nose and my breathing. read more

I'm not sure why my last review disappeared, but anyway, I had a great experience with Dr. Frankel. I had a traumatic injury when I was younger and have gone through absolute hell trying to get it fixed so I could breathe like a normal person. Dr Frankel has been extremely caring, patient, and skillful. He's a great doctor and a genuinely good guy. I highly recommend. read more

Its been a little under a year since my rhinoplasty with Dr. Andrew Frankel. I wanted to wait till now to write this, so my nose would be closer to its final shape. I am so beyond happy with my gorgeous nose! I absolutely love it!! And I can finally breath! Dr. Frankel was highly recommended to me by a close friend. I decided to go for a consultation after seeing his really beautifully shaped noses on his web site. I found Dr. Frankel to be a very personable doctor. I also felt very comfortable with him, because he gave me more than a couple of minutes to hear my concerns, and pick up on my personality before doing his thorough examination... (which was much more thorough than other consultations I had with other surgeons). He explained things well, and was very patient with my anxieties. Dr. Frankel does over 200 noses per yr. That was very appealing also. I like that Dr. Frankel concentrates his surgeries and treatments on the face and neck... not over extending his expertise. His computer imagery of my nose and the way it would turn out was exactly what I wanted. His office, and staff are lovely, and Vicky Diamond, his surgical coordinator was invaluable. The day of the surgery was a breeze. One of the absolute best things that I loved knowing, (he filled me in about this on the consultation day), was that even though Dr. Frankel had quite a bit of work to do on my nose, he told me that he usually uses a less dramatic anesthesia ... more of a twilight, rather than going fully under. This REALLY appealed to me!! First it made me less fearful because of less risk, and also Dr. Frankel said the recovery would be so much faster. And trust me, I don't remember a thing about the surgery. I do remember how sweet the nurses were before and after waking up. Dr Frankel then came in and explained exactly what to expect that night, and the following days. The days following were exactly as he had said, and the recovery and any pain was totally manageable, and easy to handle. He's a surgeon and an artist. read more

Dr. Frankel is an amazing Plastic Surgeon. He is detail oriented and a perfectionist who really cares about doing a great job. He has performed different procedures on me and each one was done with perfection. No one would ever know that I had plastic surgery everyone just tells me that I look great and never age. That is a true testament to Dr .Frankel's work. I would highly recommend Dr. Frankel for any type of procedure for the face as that is his speciality. If you want to be assured that you will have a successful outcome he's your surgeon. read more
