My goal was to look refreshed and natural--not like I'd had surgery--and that's exactly what Dr. Lee achieved. Friends and family tell me I look amazing, but no one can pinpoint why. I simply look like a younger, well-rested version of myself. I was amazed by how little bruising I had after surgery. Within two weeks, I looked great and felt comfortable being out in public. At 10 weeks, my scars are essentially invisible, and my results continue to improve. Dr. Lee is an exceptionally talented surgeon who is confident, caring, and meticulous. From my first consultation through every follow-up appointment, he and his staff made me feel informed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Their professionalism and kindness made the entire experience stress-free. If you're considering facial rejuvenation and want beautiful, natural-looking results, I highly recommend Dr. Lee. Choosing him was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    I'm an avid hiker that was living with a bilateral inguinal hernia for years. For the longest time,…read moreI didn't worry about them because they didn't really bother me, other than the fact that they weren't pretty to look at. I knew the day would eventually come for surgery, so I went online and searched for a doctor that specializes in hernia repair. I found a doctor who I thought was one of the best out there, Dr. Harris from California Hernia Specialists in Newport Beach, CA. He provides a collection of information and videos on his website that come from his years of performing hernia surgeries. Well, the day did finally come when my hernias did start to hurt, so I made the call to Dr. Harris. Within a week, I had a consultation, and 25 days later, July 31, 2026 to be exact, Dr. Harris did the laparoscopic procedure. Recovery was easy and I would say pain-free with over-the-counter pain medication. Having done the surgery, I wished I had it done years ago, from a purely aesthetic point of view. I may even have been foolish to have waited so long in case they became life-threatening. I took 3 weeks off from hiking on the advice of Dr. Harris, and now I'm back out there doing my usual hikes and other activities with no discomfort. I took his advice about icing the surgical area for almost two days and nights. Here's my advice on icing: Purchase five or six small frozen bags of sweet corn. Frozen sweet corn stays frozen longer than peas because of its density. Put boxer shorts on and then put tighty-whitey underwear on over the boxer shorts. Slip the frozen corn between the two layers of underwear to avoid direct contact with your skin. Take the recommended dosage of Tylenol and set the timer for 3 hours. When the timer goes off, remove the sweet corn package and replace it with another package of frozen sweet corn. Now take Ibuprofen and reset the timer for another 3 hours. Repeat this cycle every 3 hours. When placing the frozen sweet corn back in the freezer for reuse, be sure to flatten down the package so it's not lumpy when you take it out for later use. I did this round the clock. My bedroom is upstairs, and I had no problem whatsoever going downstairs to grab another bag of frozen sweet corn. BTW, at the end of each 3-hour session, the sweet corn was still cold, not frozen, but still cold. One other piece of advice: purchase a bottle of Phillips Milk of Magnesia. I needed to empty my bowels 24 hours after the surgery, and the stool softener tablets I had taken earlier weren't doing anything, and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. 30 minutes after taking the Milk of Magnesia, my bowels cleared, and I was back to being regular again. Above all, follow Dr. Harris's advice; he knows what he's talking about because he's seen/heard it all from patients that followed his advice and those who didn't. When I went in for my initial consultation with Dr. Harris, it felt like I had known him for years. The reason being I had watched many of his videos over the years before having him perform the procedure. On the day of the surgery, I had no worries at all because I knew I was in the best of hands with Dr. Harris.

    Several months ago, I became apparent that I had a ventral hernia that needed to be repaired. After…read moredoing some research and speaking with some OR nurses I chose Dr. Harris for my surgery. From my consult to the surgery (3 weeks ago 4/2026,) I have nothing but praise for Dr Harris as well as his staff. They have been excellent in answering my questions as well as communicating everything I needed to know, both preop and post op. My surgery went smoothly with almost no post op pain.. (tylenol only for 2 days). I would highly recommend Dr. Harris for your surgery.

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.

    I'm writing this to help prevent anyone else from going through the difficult experience I had with…read morethis business. Over the past few years, I underwent two separate breast procedures performed by Dr. Ali. Unfortunately, the first procedure was unsuccessful. While the office offered me a discount for a second surgery, I still paid a significant amount out-of-pocket. Sadly, the second procedure also failed. When I reached out to Dr. Ali and his office to discuss my concerns and explore solutions, their only suggestion was to attempt the procedure a third time. I expressed that I no longer felt comfortable moving forward with them due to the risk of experiencing the same outcome. I wanted to seek care from another doctor I could trust. In response, Dr. Ali acknowledged that he may not have the necessary skill set to perform the procedure successfully and stated that he would instruct the office to issue me a refund. After taking some time to carefully consider my options, I contacted the office to request my refund--only to be told they would not be providing one. I have since spoken to others who have had similarly negative experiences with this office, and I've even heard Dr. Ali referred to as "The Butcher of Newport." The stress, time away from my family, and financial burden caused by this ordeal have been immeasurable. There are many skilled plastic surgeons in the area--please do yourself a favor and avoid this office. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Ali or his practice

    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.

He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and made sure I felt confident and comfortable with my decisions. He performed my breast implant removal with capsulectomy, a breast lift, and a rhinoplasty. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined. His work is natural, beautifully balanced, and incredibly precise. I feel like the best version of myself, refreshed, proportional, and confident without looking overdone. The recovery process was smooth, and his team was just as attentive and supportive as he was. Every question I had was answered promptly, and I always felt like I was in expert hands. I'd like to comment on how professional, knowledgeable and caring everyone at his surgery center was, which is in the same building as Dr. Ip's office. I felt so safe and well taken care of. Dr. Ip's skill, artistry, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I am so grateful for his talent and care, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering surgery. He did a phenomenal job, and I couldn't be more happier with my results. Evelyn, Huntington Beach, CA

    10/10 - Absolutely Obsessed with My Results! (8 Weeks post op)…read more I am beyond happy with my breast augmentation from Dr. K -- I'm literally obsessed! He did the most perfect job in my opinion, and I feel so sexy, feminine, and confident in my new bralette. I'm also so glad I didn't go too big. At first, I wanted 480cc's, but a week before surgery, Dr. K suggested we go with 450cc's for the most natural, flattering look. Best decision ever! We went under the muscle with gummy implants, and the results are flawless. From start to finish, Dr. K has been amazing. He answers every single question I have -- whether it's over text, FaceTime, or in person. If I want to stop by the office, he gets me in right away. His bedside manner is unmatched, and I've felt 100% comfortable and cared for every step of the way. I had a consultation with a "famous" Instagram surgeon before choosing Dr. K, and honestly, there's no comparison. Dr. K's skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are what really matter -- not Instagram followers. I've already told all my friends they need to go to him. My only regret is not doing this sooner! I'm also so glad I stayed local instead of going out of the country for a cheaper price. Being able to have in-person follow-ups with my surgeon has been invaluable for my healing process and peace of mind. If you're even thinking about getting a breast augmentation, do it -- and do it with Dr. K. I am so, so, so, so, so happy with my decision and I would recommend him a thousand times over.

    Being 6 years post op, my updated review is overdue. I'd…read morelike to start by saying that the office staff was always very kind. 360 TUMMY TUCK: 7/10 For the most part, I am still very happy with the tummy tuck procedure. I did have a complicated recovery with necrosis of the belly button, but you would not be able to tell now. My scars are alright, I've definitely seen much better... but I tattooed over mine anyway so it didn't matter much to me. However, during the consultation I made it a huge point that there was a part of my lower back that I was very unhappy with. Dr K documented and explained that it would be lipo'd and he would excise it if necessary. I have a scar in the area, but it looks like it wasn't touched AT ALL. Definitely no lipo in the area, just a normal tummy tuck scar, but it doesn't go all the way under the area of concern. So it looks like he left it untouched. When I brought this up at my several post op appointments, he told me to wait a year. After a year, he brushed it off. I am now left with this incredibly awkward small lump right above my butt crack that has left me incredibly insecure. BREAST IMPLANTS AND NIPPLE LIFT: 1/10 I already had breast tissue (about a 36 C) but deflated after weight loss. I really wanted to fill them back up and make them perky again. Because of how deflated they were, I was expecting to get a breast lift, which other surgeons also mentioned to me. During the consultation, Dr K was very adamant that he would NOT do a lift, because I was in my early 20's. His reasoning was that they would need to be redone after I had kids... so I told him that I do not plan to have children. He told me that I might change my mind - which is absolutely NOT for him to decide or even have a say in. He told me he could do a nipple lift on my right side and it would make them look even and perky without the lift. I trusted him. My nipple is now OVAL ladies. OVAL. Completely mismatched. Extremely embarrassing. I also have had rippling, it feels like the implants are underfilled. I can literally crunch the bags and you can see it. When I lay down, they go to the side completely and my chest is flat. When I bend forward, they droop and look absolutely disgusting. I was also very concerned about the left breasts shifting so much to the side when I work out, that it completely deforms and pulls the bag. He told me "you can't work out your chest." This was a YEAR after surgery. He literally said I cannot work out, and that was the answer. Six years later and I have extremely heavy, sagging implants that are weighing my chest down. My nipples fall over the crease of my breast, and it's extremely uncomfortable and they've made me feel so embarrassed. I am now having to save money to get the lift that I should have gotten 6 years ago, and hoping that another doctor can fix my nipple and the underlying damage. I will never get these past 6 years back (and the next few years that I spend saving up.) So I hope this saves someone else.
