    Lipo and fat transfer to breasts results
    Jen N.

    Dr. Pavlo Isak and the team have given me my dream body! He is a master of the surgical arts and magician all in one. I researched around Orange County to find a surgeon who offers liposuction and fat transfer to breasts. I booked with Athenix and met with Dr. Isak, he was completely transparent with me, explaining that this procedure would go up at least half a cup size of a full cup size max. I knew this coming in that I only wanted my breasts to be slightly larger and more emphasized, but still natural. He told me I was the perfect candidate! I knew I wanted natural breast augmentation for the longest time, but I also was set on not getting implants. (I have an overwhelming fear of implant illness/rejection). I also chose this procedure because I had stubborn fat in my abdomen area and flanks (despite working out/healthy diet). I am super happy with my results! My waist is smaller and my breasts are more accentuated, all while still looking very natural. The team at Athenix have been amazing from beginning to end! Consultation, booking, surgery, post-op, etc. They all made me very comfortable even when I was super nervous about the procedure. I could not recommend Athenix enough!

    Facial by Jade, my skin looks flawless

    I love this place! Jade did my facial. It was the most relaxing luxurious experience, I would rate Athenix five stars because it's so clean the staff is so friendly I really felt like I was at the fanciest spa, I will be coming again, and recommending this place to everybody!

    I love the team at Athenix. I've been getting body sculpting treatments for a 6 months with Jade. She's always so sweet and accommodating; ensuring I'm comfortable while I'm getting my treatment done. Not to mention she's very punctual.

    I am so impressed with Dr. Cuber's incision lines. They are barely even noticeable. And he really takes the time to explain the whole process and what to expect. Not to mention the staff are wonderful!

    My relaxing facial
    Hailey C.

    I've had many facials at many different places, and I have to say this place separates itself in its own category. Jade was my aesthetician, and she went above and beyond and gave me one of the best facials I've ever received. They were kind and welcoming upon my arrival, and Jade made me feel so comfortable. She did a reading on my skin to see what facial would be best for me, and I left their feeling so bright and so clean. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the Orange County area.

    Dr. Cuber is amazing. The journey to get to this point was long and hard. After having 4 babies I knew I wanted to look the way I feel and be better for my children, healthier. Athenix and their staff took such great care of me and really made sure that I was comfortable throughout the whole process! I hope to return in the next couple of year to get a breast lift and I wouldn't trust anyone but Dr Cuber and Athenix with my care!

    The best thing I have done for myself, hands down!! Dr. Shain Cuber is AMAZING when it comes to sculpting your body just right! He knows exactly where to nip and tuck and which procedures are best for your body. Super honest from the get go and the aftercare was such a plus!! The team is in constant contact with you to make sure your recovery is as comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend them enough.

    I have been coming to Athenix for 2 years now. They give the best Facials and Body Contouring. Sam is an amazing Esthetician! She definitely knows how to Taylor your regimen to make the skin just glow! Honestly this area of the business is not boosted enough. Take time to ask more about it because skin care is so important. I have done Venus too and once again Sam delivers excellent patient care. Configured my body type and we have been on the path to success ever since. A must for anyone who works out, takes nutrition seriously but wants a little help to support skin tightening. Dawn the Manager of this location and the girls out front always wonderful, engaging and absolutely deliver the best patient care. Five star for all these reasons and many more!! Thanks Athenix for being wonderful during these very rough times.

    This was taken three weeks out. Will update at three months.

    I can't recommend this practice enough…read more I was an out-of-state patient, and from the very beginning, they made the entire process feel seamless. We were able to do FaceTime consultations along with in-person appointments, which made planning everything so much easier. They also worked with me on financing, which I really appreciated. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Every time I walked in, I felt comfortable and taken care of. The staff is incredibly kind and supportive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. It's worth noting that he is a busy surgeon, so you do need to be patient with scheduling -- but in my opinion, that speaks to how in-demand and trusted he is. One thing that really stood out to me was the environment of the office. It has a strong faith-based presence, and while I'm not personally religious, I found it surprisingly comforting. I was told that during the building process, he would come in and write scripture within the structure of the office, which I thought was such a meaningful and intentional touch. On the day of surgery, I was understandably nervous, but the entire team made me feel at ease. The anesthesiologist was absolutely hilarious and helped lighten the mood right away. Right before surgery, the doctor asked if I would like him to pray with me. Even though I'm not religious, I said yes -- and it ended up being a really grounding, calming moment that I genuinely appreciated. Now, about 14 weeks post-op, I can honestly say I am so happy with my results. I feel confident, comfortable, and like I got exactly what I asked for. I'm still working on scar management, but overall, I love how everything looks. And coming from Las Vegas, I paid a fraction of what I would have locally, which made the experience even better. If you're considering working with him, especially as an out-of-state patient, I highly recommend it. I felt supported, safe, and truly cared for every step of the way.

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.

    I'm 68 years old. For years I struggled with breathing problems and sleep apnea. I used CPAP but…read morewas tired of being sick and tired. At 66, I had my first rhinoplasty. The surgeon was a triple board-certified plastic surgeon I had known for over 30 years. I trusted him and believed I was in excellent hands. The result was terrible. My breathing worsened and my nose looked unnatural. I lived with that outcome for over two years, trying to rationalize it, but I couldn't. This was my face. It affects how I breathe, how I sleep, and how I feel every day. So I did serious research. What I learned changed everything. Rhinoplasty is not just cosmetic. The nose must function. We are meant to breathe through our noses. When the structure is weakened or obstructed, airflow is compromised. Air must move freely when you inhale and exhale. The internal support has to remain stable so the airway does not collapse. Without that support, you mouth breathe, wake up tired, and constantly feel like you're not getting enough air. I experienced all of it. My research led me to Dr. Aaron Kosins in Newport Beach. Because mine was a revision case -- after my nasal bones had been broken in the first surgery -- preservation rhinoplasty was no longer available to me. I had missed the boat. Preservation rhinoplasty reshapes and repositions the natural structures of the nose instead of aggressively "hammering down" the bridge and rebuilding it from scratch. Dr. Kosins is one of the pioneers in using ultrasonic piezo instrumentation to precisely sculpt nasal bone rather than manually breaking it. This allows refinement of what a patient is born with while improving both appearance and function. Due to the prior damage, significant reconstruction was required, including cartilage taken from my own rib to rebuild and properly support my nose. If I could give one piece of advice: only do a piezo surgery! Dr. Kosins is widely regarded by his peers as a world expert in rhinoplasty, including preservation techniques and complex structural revision cases. Many established surgeons seek out his workshops and cadaver labs to refine advanced techniques. He has the rare ability to communicate directly, thoughtfully, and sincerely. From the first meeting, I knew I was finally in the right hands. And then came the result. It was a knockout. My breathing is excellent. Air moves freely through both sides of my nose when I inhale and exhale. There is no resistance, no collapse, no struggle to get enough air in or out. For the first time in years, breathing feels effortless. Cosmetically, my nose looks natural and balanced -- not artificial or overdone. I also want to acknowledge his team. Risa, the practice manager, was accessible and organized throughout the process. Judy was BEYOND amazing!!! After surgery she called and texted us multiple times a day, every single day, making sure I was doing well. We also had direct access to Dr. Kosins whenever we needed him. I never felt alone or uncertain. Choosing Dr. Aaron Kosins and his team made a major difference in my life, and I am extremely grateful.

Offices were spam calling me back daily or bombarding me with emails like ad agencies lol. Or that typical tiktok "this doctor has THIS special technique" which felt sooo gimmicky and fake. I never felt like I really got to see PS doctors as medical providers and get to speak to them without the shiny Beverly Hills facade. Plastic surgery does have this trendy side.. i get it. But it is still a very big medical procedure and I really felt like I just couldn't trust a lot of these flashy doctors I'd spoken to... I lost around 40 lbs and I always dreamed of fixing my lower pooch area - my case is a little odd because I haven't had kids yet and am relatively lean - I was looking for a really refined result. AND zero BS. just tell me what's possible and what's not. Dr. Kim didn't take a crazy consultation fee. I didn't wait months for a consultation. He didn't try to sell me anything. His office looks and works like an actual (clean and beautiful) medical office. I never waited for my appointments. During my consultation, he gave me plenty of time to ask questions and voice my concerns. I didn't feel like I was being spoken down to or being sold a used car. Finally felt like I'm speaking with a doctor who can actually lay out to me exactly what to expect moving forward, the downsides and upsides of my options, and what was and wasn't possible. Nothing was downplayed or overexaggerated. I had never had surgery before and so I really wasn't ready to have a big procedure like a tummy tuck. I asked if there was a more conservative option for my loose skin/pooch - we settled on a mini tuck with lipo to remove a large portion of my problem area - with the door always open for a full if I ever wanted. Dr. Kim was supportive, nonjudgmental and honest about whatever decision I chose. Results - my mini TT results were BEAUTIFUL. My stubborn lower pooch was totally smoothed out - no lipo ripples or weird creases. I recovered in like 2 weeks. No infections, no broken stitches, no seromas, no hypertrophic scarring, no dead skin, just... nothing. Dr. checked in with me after surgery multiple times to make sure I was doing okay. My garment fit comfortably and I was on just tylenol by the end of day 2. My incision healed into a thin, fine line which was sooo easily covered in a bikini. Way later when I was finally ready for a full tummy tuck surgery to reach the last bits of loose skin, the ease of my decision was in large part influenced by how smooth my past experience was. I trusted I was in good hands, and I was right. AGAIN, the entire procedure despite being a WAY bigger one, was just as smooth as the first time. Drains were easy. Stitches dissolved easily. The new incision is exactly where we planned for it to be - thin, and very very low and replaced my older scar. I entrusted Dr Kim to decide whether muscle repair was needed or not - he said he will if needed, since we're already in there let's make it perfect! I am snatched lol :'D my belly button looks so cute with a little hood, it looks natural and lovely. I'm around 3 weeks out and my incision is already so clean and healing very well. At this point, I can say I have a very good idea of how Dr Kim's office works, the pre op, surgery, the follow up, as well as healing/recovery. All the girls remember me, they make scheduling extremely easy, are fun to talk to, and before and after my operation my nurse really made me feel safe, cared for, and at ease. I was given all instructions and medications promptly and on time, as well as the Dr's personal number for any issues at all. Everyone has their own experiences and surgery is a big decision which can have unpredictable outcomes. But for me, choosing Dr. kim (twice) was the best decision I made for myself. Thank you Dr Kim and team :')

From my very first consultation through my recovery, Dr. Kim was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. My surgery went smoothly with zero complications. The results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Kim takes great pride in his work and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a skilled plastic surgeon who delivers beautiful results while providing excellent care.

    I came to Dr. Shamoun with a rhinoplasty (from a previous Dr) that I was not happy with. Right when…read moreI came to Dr. Shamouns office, he sat with me for 1.5 hours (free of charge may I add) and addressed every concern I had and validated them while providing his opinion and expertise. Dr. Shamoun is direct and a straight shooter - but he is also incredibly caring and kind. He doesn't beat around the bush or sugar coat his answers but he truly explains and provides so much valuable honesty and knowledge. He took me in as a patient and he performed my revision. Upon my cast removal, I was truly floored at the result at just 1 week post op. On top of my amazing experience and results, his partner and front of office, Yvonne was amazing through the process. She worked with me closely and helped me through many of my back end questions. Thank you to Dr. Shamoun & Yvonne for listening and caring for me. I can't wait for my next appointment.

    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 wasn't going to do this surgery because I thought I was too old for this and also nervous about it. Now I'm so glad I did it but I'm glad I found this doctor. I went to three consultations before dr K. and only went to the top rated ones on yelp. Dr. K. took the time to explain everything and to listen to what I wanted. He also gave me his opinion which I'm glad I listened to. I love the results, even my daughters love it and want to go to Dr K to have the procedure done themselves which I totally support. The day of the surgery he told me he would take care of me and he did. All of the stuff were so professional and nice. I got my confidence back thanks to Dr K.

    I was very disappointed with my experience. The consultation felt extremely rushed. I paid $100,…read moreand the entire appointment was over so quickly that it felt like a waste of money. I left feeling like the doctor had already made assumptions about me before taking the time to understand my concerns. Every patient deserves to be treated with the same level of attention and respect. You should never judge a book by its cover. I came to my appointment fully prepared and ready to pay for my surgery in full that same day, but I never felt like I was given the opportunity to have a meaningful consultation. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations.

    I visited Dr Sajjadian's office for the AviClear treatment and this was hands down the best…read moreexperience I've had with laser or any acne treatment in my entire life. First off, the front desk team and consultation was not pressuring at all. It was very informative and was a clear process from the beginning. Also, the AviClear treatment here was ten times more affordable than any other place I consulted with and with almost no side effects compared to oral acne medication like Accutane. I've been struggling with acne since I was a teenager and finally found a solution! Nima was fantastic the entirety of the treatment regime and helped keep me comfortable the entire time. Within the first two weeks of the first treatment I started seeing clearing and continued seeing additional clearing through the treatment process. It takes a few months after the final (third) treatment for full effects to take place, but I'm already so happy with the results. I loved the office and Nima so much that I am now doing laser hair removal with them and that has also been a lovely process. I couldn't recommend Nima and the Sajjadian team more!

I sat in a room for 48 minutes waiting for the doctor to see me. Finally someone came in asked how I was doing and told me the doctor would be in shortly. I told them this was completely unacceptable and disrespectful of my time. If this is how they treat a patient who they've never met I cannot imagine the type of care that I would receive if I had actually gone through with any type of surgery. I am a reasonable human and if they had told me, the doctor was running late, or had checked on me 10 minutes after leaving me alone in the room to explain that something had suddenly come up , I would've been more forgiving. However, they had asked me simply to continue to wait after 48 minutes. Rude.
