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.

I waited until the one-year mark to leave this review because I wanted to give my body enough time…read moreto fully heal and settle before speaking on my final results. 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.

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 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.

From the moment I walked in the staff made me feel comfortable and cared for. On the day of my surgery, I was very nervous, but they did such a great job at making the whole process feel easy and smooth. The recovery process was also much easier than I expected. I had almost no bruising and only light swelling that lasted about three days. When I got my cast removed, I instantly loved my nose. It looks so natural like the nose I was born with. My breathing has improved so much, and my nose is now perfectly straight. I'm honestly obsessed with the results. One thing I really appreciate about Dr.Zarrabi is how he truly personalizes the nose to match your face. He doesn't give people a "copy and paste" nose or make it look fake. He takes your natural features into account so the result looks balanced and natural. I'm currently four months post-op and my nose already looks amazing. I'm so excited to see how it continues to settle and look over the next year. Thank you so much to Dr. Zarrabi and the entire team for such a wonderful experience and incredible results!

Those lines were making me look much older than I felt, and now my face looks refreshed, youthful, and natural. My makeup no longer settles into those lines and accentuates them, which has made such a difference in my confidence. Dr. Kessler is not only exceptionally skilled and talented, but he is also one of the most genuine and caring doctors I have ever met.

He listened intently to my aesthetic goals, thoroughly addressed every single one of my concerns, and deeply educated me on the structural realities of my anatomy. I was blown away by how much he factored in my active lifestyle and holistic health rather than just looking at the surgery through a commercial lens. He gave me a completely honest assessment of what would protect my body long-term, which is a level of integrity that is incredibly rare to find. If you are looking for a world-class surgeon who prioritizes patient safety, customized visual artistry, and transparent communication above all else, do yourself a favor and book a consultation with Dr. John Park.

He is a genuinely kind-hearted, caring person AND a uniquely talented and experienced facial plastic surgeon. I did an unbelievable amount of research to find the BEST revision rhinoplasty surgeon in the entire country, and there is no doubt that Dr. Ali Sepehr is it. From my very first consultation with Dr. Sepehr I knew he was the surgeon for me. His before & after photos are exactly what I was looking for. His calm, gentle, and reassuring demeanour was like a breath of fresh air. I feel as though he really cares about me as a person and patient. I also LOVE the way that he always speaks to and about ALL of his patients in such a kind, supportive way. Jacqueline, Judy, and his entire office team are also absolutely phenomenal. They are warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to address any questions or concerns. I have felt appreciated and cared for as a patient by both Dr. Sepehr and his team all along, which really sets them apart. I sought out Dr. Sepehr's help for a complex revision rhinoplasty to correct a 2021 primary septorhinoplasty and 2022 revision rhinoplasty that completely butchered my nose. That surgeon left me with a large, uncomfortable, and useless butterfly graft in my nose, a drastically altered nose shape, and did not address my deviated septum, which was the whole point to begin with. Dr. Sepehr was extremely patient and diligent in reviewing my medical history, operative reports, before/after photos, and goal outcome photos with me. Dr. Sepehr was not only able to address ALL of my aesthetic concerns, but he also corrected my deviated septum. I could not be more thrilled with the results of my surgery with him. He has given me back my self-confidence, my face, and my ability to breathe well through my nose. There is truly not another surgeon on the planet I would have trusted with this surgery and I don't believe any other surgeon could have achieved an outcome this perfect for me. My nose is literally perfect in every way. I would recommend Dr. Sepehr and only Dr. Sepehr to anyone who is seeking facial plastic surgery.

I noticed that even though my implants were behind the muscle wall, they were beginning to droop on one side where I could actually pinch skin to skin.. I made an appointment with Dr. Dubrow's office.. Within a few weeks, I was able to get an appointment and go in to have my implants removed. Currently with the implants I was a G. Due to having an lumpectomy, I was under the impression that I did not have much of my own breast tissue left and this is why the doctor recommended implants to begin with. But at this point I had had my implants replaced multiple times and continued to have trouble. When I spoke to Dr. Dubrow and his amazing assistant Jackie and explained the trouble that I was having and that I wanted the implants removed. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to attend the consultation due to how fast I was able to get my consultation so we did it over FaceTime. My husband was still hoping for a larger outcome. My expectations were anything healthy. Even if that included a size A cup. After surgery, Jackie had shared my postop surgery report with me. As I expected the chemo and radiation had damaged the tissue in my right breast to the point he had to remove a lot of tissue in order to lift my breasts evenly. Coming out of surgery with the scarring and the stitches , the swelling and everything. I definitely was completely flat chested. But as the days went on, my breast started forming and dropping just as they said they would. I am currently five months postop into my surprise. I am a 34D. Needless to say my husband is extremely happy and so am I. This has been such a wonderful experience and it is all due to a doctor's office. That truly knows what they're doing.
