    It was a great experience at Clinica Clausel. Dr. Marc…read moreChabrier is an experienced physician that did my lipo. When coming from the U.S it's hard to pick a Doctor. What sold me was his meticulous way of explaining my procedure, also there was a procedure that we spoke about online, but when he say me in person, it was not necessary, this gave me even more trust in him since he was honest. The clinic was clean my anesthesiologist was great he made sure I did not have any pain. The reason why I ended chossing the clinic was because Dr. Marc Chabrier only performs one procedure a day and I got one night stay in the clinic with a 24 hr. nurse. I felt like a VIP during my stay here To me this made the difference. The receptionist was also great and helped my family get accommodations. When my family went to the hotel around the surrounding area, the staff had nothing but good things to say about further, cementing my trust and the clinics reputation, Thank you Dr. Marc Chabrier. Fue una gran experiencia en la Clínica Clausel. El Dr. Marc Chabrier es un médico experimentado que me realizó la liposucción. Cuando venies de Estados Unidos, es difícil elegir un doctor. Lo que me convenció fue su meticulosa forma de explicarme el procedimiento. Además, hablamos de un procedimiento en línea, pero cuando examino en persona, no fue necesario. Esto me dio aún más confianza en él, ya que fue honesto. La clínica estaba limpia y mi anestesiólogo fue excelente; se aseguró de que no sintiera ningún dolor. La razón por la que elegí la clínica fue porque el Dr. Marc Chabrier solo realiza un procedimiento al día y tuve una noche de hospitalización con una enfermera disponible las 24 horas. Me sentí como un VIP durante mi estancia. Para mí, esto marcó la diferencia. La recepcionista también fue excelente y ayudó a mi familia a conseguir alojamiento. Cuando mi familia fue al hotel de los alrededores, el personal solo tenía buenos comentarios, lo que consolidó mi confianza y la reputación de la clínica. Gracias, Dr. Marc Chabrie. Mon expérience à la Clinica Clausel a été formidable. Le Dr Marc Chabrier est un médecin expérimenté qui a réalisé ma liposuccion. Quand on vient des États-Unis, choisir un médecin est difficile. Ce qui m'a convaincue, c'est sa façon méticuleuse d'expliquer l'intervention. De plus, une procédure dont nous avions parlé en ligne s'est avérée inutile lors de notre rencontre, ce qui m'a mise en confiance, car il a fait preuve d'honnêteté. La clinique était impeccable et mon anesthésiste était excellent ; il s'est assuré que je ne ressente aucune douleur. J'ai finalement choisi cette clinique car le Dr Marc Chabrier n'y pratique qu'une seule intervention par jour et j'ai bénéficié d'une nuitée avec une infirmière présente 24 h/24. Je me suis sentie comme une VIP pendant mon séjour, et cela a fait toute la différence. La réceptionniste était également très aimable et a aidé ma famille à trouver un hébergement. Lorsque ma famille a séjourné à l'hôtel dans les environs, le personnel n'a eu que des éloges à faire, ce qui a renforcé ma confiance et la réputation de la clinique. Merci, Dr Marc Chabrier.

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

Souza is amazing, From the moment I entered their office I knew I was where I should be.

They make you feel comfortable not to be afraid to ask questions or extra assistance and always check up on you with anything you need. I had a male lipo, bbl, tummy tuck, and more. But the most important things is the made me recover with patience and ease. I am very happy with my results Dr. Guadalajara truly gave me what I asked for. Despite having high BP they were able to clear me and give me medicine before the surgery which has me 0 complications. I'm grateful I chose this place. Yes there are some negative reviews but mine was very much positive. Now I'm off to recovery home, I had a previous surgery here which is why I'm happy I went with them. Thank you Vive

The staff were not friendly or reassuring at all. The overall vibe felt cold, robotic, and impersonal, which is the last thing you want when you're about to undergo a major cosmetic procedure. What really concerned me was being told I would not meet my doctor until the actual day of surgery. I was also receiving text messages with surgery instructions while I was literally sitting in the lobby, which made the whole process feel very disorganized and unsettling. Social media can be very deceiving, so I highly recommend visiting any facility in person before committing to surgery. When it comes to cosmetic procedures and your safety, trust your gut. I lost my deposit, but I'm still glad I walked away.

    I had my surgery last year. While I still had my cast on, I noticed there was asymmetry, but I…read moredidn't jump to conclusions yet as I put it down to swelling. Further down the line, I naively thought that the asymmetry was caused by mask wearing, however that is just not possible. Upon looking at photos of my Day 6 nose, it is clear to see that the same deformities I am suffering now were evident at that stage as well - which means that the mistakes were made during surgery. However, the problems continued. I tried to tell myself I was happy with the surgery as I had paid $7000 and I naively believed that the deformities would heal up over time. I reached out to Vida clinic with photographic evidence of the lop-sidedness of my nose in September 2025. was told that I would have to wait a few months until my one-year post op review in august, so I did. I had my review and I told Dr Carlos Fuentes my concern, but he did not see the issue, encouraged me to wait longer, and he somehow thought my nose looked great... I contacted Vida again later, attaching photographic evidence of my even worse looking nose. I was told that it was outside of their one-year policy, so I did not pursue any further. In October 2025, after my kept nose getting even worse and I was becoming less happy, I sought a second opinion from Mr Patel ENT. I initially thought I would possibly be receiving steroid injections however I was told that there were numerous issues that would need to be fixed with only a revision rhinoplasty. I was distraught at this news and on the verge of tears, but I was happy that Mr Patel could visibly see my concern instead of gaslighting me like Vida Clinic as to a reasonable person my nose certainly did not look "fine." Mr Patel identified - misplaced cartilage causing the lump (not scar tissue) - no support at tip and will need rib cartilage to fix - v shaped deformity which is the indent/collapse at bridge that will need a graft to fix - significant asymmetry I contacted Harley Health Clinic one last time with this information, however I was unsatisfied with the response. They brushed off Dr Patel's opinion and I would not be given an appointment for several months if I were to be seen upon fee. I do not trust Dr Carlos Fuentes's skills especially as he has not been able to acknowledge any error, and I do not think he would be able to fix my nose. I have been left with PTSD due to my botched rhinoplasty and have had to seek counselling to come to terms with it. I expected my nose would not be perfect, but it is worse than it was pre- surgery. My natural nose was not asymmetrical, nor did it have abnormalities. I had heard stories of a minority of people having their rhinoplasty go wrong but never would I have thought I would be one of those people. My nose just gets worse and worse with time. It is now bigger as it was pre-surgery, except it is worse shaped and with no contour to it at all. I hate being seen from every angle and every lighting now as it just reveals more unflattering faults. Inside my nostril is swollen. I have breathing difficulties. My confidence is shattered. A once confident, bubbly, and happy girl, I have become depressed and no longer enjoy having my photo taken. I complained, but was slapped with "we deny wrongdoing because you signed a consent form" He has a lack of skill especially when it comes to people of colour, and his silence and gaslight his patients when they try to speak out. I have spoken to countless people who have had the same experience with Dr Carlos Fuentes , they just hush it or do their best to hide the truth. People, beware!!

    This guy should be banned from performing any type of surgeries. I got my rhinoplasty done around…read moreJune 2020. I waited well over a year to be fair and allow for swelling to go down. The day after surgery I immediately noticed how uneven my nostrils were. I brought it to his attention and he brushed it off saying it was due to swelling. When I met with him for the cast removal I brought it up again and he said he would charge me $100 MORE to make the good nostril like like the bad one. Not once did he apologize or own up to his mistakes. My tip was lifted although we agreed he would not lift my tip, my bridge has a weird indentation, scars are extremely noticeable and ugly due to his sloppy stitches, nostrils are extremely uneven and shaped differently. I also suffer from breathing problems which is due to a deviated septum that I DID NOT have before surgery. This "surgeon" lacks so much empathy, professionalism, and talent. I now suffer from depression and he also refused to send me MY pictures. He obviously doesn't want to get sued. There was another review I read about him causing nerve damage to someone else. Please be very careful and do lots of research. There is a reason why he does not post good pictures of his work. I also remember waking up on the surgery table and being extremely scared. First time going under anesthesia so not sure if that's normal. Definitely going to look into a lawyer very soon.

I came for Botox due to migraines and TMJ dysfunction. I was seen by Kathy and she was 100% real and honest with me. She told me what I needed and what I didn't need, which I greatly appreciated her honesty. She told me the plan and the results we are aiming for. When I've been to other places are just like OK here's your injection this is the standard amount, See you in x amount of months for the same amount. That's not how this place is, Kathy told me that the goal is to keep my symptoms at bay and not go through up and downs, where I'm having symptoms and I get treatment, it goes away and it comes backs. I now have a clear goal and plan where she will assess how I'm going after each treatment and see how to adjust for the next. after just a few days I already see positive changes. On another note when coming here it is in the medical center so come 15 minutes before your appointment to give you time to park and find the place since it is an area with a lot of medical offices. Also, you do have to pay to park but they did validate my parking.

The staff and Doctor were professional from the get go, answering any and all questions about the procedure. Dr. T was also very confident throughout our interactions, which reassured us in our decision to go with his practice. Lastly, my wife did experience a "hiccup" during the recovery, but was handled just fine under the care of Dr. T and his amazing staff. That serves as a testament of his experience and skills in handling the risks associated with cosmetic surgery. So while there are many options in San Diego for a cosmetic surgeon, the above will help highlight the difference between making a good choice, and the right choice.

I believe put in too big of implants than my body can handle. About 3 days after surgery my nipples started turning black and dying. And then 1 week later I go in just to have the Dr. RIP OUT MY IMPLANTS WHILE I AM STILL AWAKE! Talk about traumatizing!!! The dr then told me to go to hyperbaric treatment to try to save my nipples (ON MY OWN DIME) I had to pay $2,500 for this treatment that did not work!!!! I had to live over 1 month with 2 hard dead nipples. I truly believe he had no idea what to do, he thought they would heal and everything would be happy dandy. About a month later I went in for him to completely tear off my right dead nipple and then half of my left nipple luckily I was able to keep some of my left nipple. The T incisions became infected leaving me with gaping holes the size of silver dollars. I was then connected to a wound vac to both of my breasts for damn near 2 months to heal my holes and non existent right nipple. Almost A YEAR LATER, he finally put my implants in again and lo and behold they were smaller thank god but SMALLER!!! Tiny!! Doesn't even look like a boob job they are saggy and so sad!!! Once my implants finally healed, he "googled" some tattoo shops to tattoo me a nipple and sent me on my way, oh I also had to pay for the nipple I lost because of him. Please for the love of god to NOT GO HERE!!!! Save yourself and your body. This has been the most traumatic experience I have ever gone through in my entire life. I just wanted to get my boobs fixed from childbirth and having 2 completely different sized breasts my whole life, to coming out looking like a damn freak!!!!!! I will never be the same again
