    1.5 years post op. Still lifted
    LaMesha S.

    I got a breast lift and implants done with Dr. Brown in March 2021. Before surgery, he answered all of my questions and didn't let me go too big, which turned out to be the best choice. He is not one of those flashy Instagram doctors, but he is a true professional and is serious about his work and keeping his patients safe. The whole process from start to finish was perfect, I had no complications and I got the boobs I always wanted. I even woke up from surgery in a good mood. Every single day I wake up happy and so thankful for him and his staff. I trust him with my life.

    I looked better before

    I had inner thigh, inner knee and frank liposuctions and fat grafting to my breasts. I was told 70% of the fat will remain and I will be able to have full cup. He was so confident about it but my breast were all gone after six months and result of my inner thigh lipo was uneven with big dents as you see on the picture. I was very disappointed wasting $$$ money and I looked better before the surgery. My new Doctor, Dr. Handler fixed my ugly thigh plus knee, ankle and calf lipo plus fat grafting with half of the money I spent on Dr. Brown. I wish I have never had procedure with him.

    before and after Pelleve pic

    I had an allergic reaction to getting my eyelashes done and have had a permanent bag under my left eye from the skin and muscle stretching. I went to Dr. Brown to beg for his help and I was seeking surgery and willing to pay for any needed procedure. He introduced me to first try pelleve and persuaded me to consider surgery as a last option vs first option. I am so lucky to have his guidance and am now completely healed without any surgery needed. I consider Dr Brown a trustworthy and talented Dr who recommends what is best for the patient. If you are looking for an honest doctor, who's also kind and caring and handsome search no more!

    I love Dr. Fabi so much. I've been seeing her for 10 years, and I genuinely look better now than…read morewhen I started. That says everything. She listens to my concerns and I have complete confidence that when she recommends something to me, she has my best interest in mind and the results are always natural. I always look like myself -- just better. I've referred multiple friends to her and they've all had the same experience. Highly recommend without hesitation.

    I'm writing this review after intentionally waiting two full weeks to give everything time to…read moresettle. I was a long-time patient at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and exclusively saw Dr. Loyal, who has since left the practice. I then booked with Dr. Sabrina Fabi for the first time, influenced by her large social media presence and how the front desk emphasized how hard it is to get an appointment with her. For context, I'm very experienced with Botox and have had it done many times in the same areas without issue. At this visit, I received Botox in my masseters, crow's feet, under-eye bag line, 11s, and forehead. None of these areas were new for me. Dr. Fabi arrived about 40 minutes late, which I was told is "typical." That night, I developed large, visible lumps in my masseters and additional bumps near my temples when opening my mouth. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I returned to the office two days later and was told it was "normal" and that Botox takes two weeks to settle. By the time of my follow-up appointment nearly a week later, my appearance was extremely abnormal. The best way I can describe it is that I looked like a mix between Chiseled Squidward and Quasimodo. I pay a premium to go to a cosmetic dermatology practice because this is my face, and I expect expertise, precision, and accountability. At the follow-up, I felt dismissed and gaslit. While the masseter issue was acknowledged, my main concern was new bumps near my eyes that I never had before. Dr. Fabi insisted they were always there, which is simply not true. I have clear before photos. When I said I felt my before looked better, her response was, "Oh, with your hooded eyes?" That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional. It has now been over a week since the follow-up and the bumps are still present. I paid $1,500 and feel worse about my appearance than when I walked in. Botox has risks, but the lack of ownership and dismissal of my concerns is why I won't be returning. I'll be sharing photos so others can make an informed decision.

    I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Roy David and his staff. After a year of…read moreconsidering a deep plane face/neck lift and searching for a surgeon who specialized in facial plastic surgery specifically, I finally scheduled a consultation and from the very first meeting, I knew I was in the hands of a true expert. His staff describe him as a "perfectionist" which I loved hearing especially when he was going to be working on my face...and he did not disappoint. I never thought I could look this good again at the age of 52. Dr. David took the time to explain the procedure in detail, answering every question with patience, and helping me to understand what results were realistically achievable. The surgery itself was seamless, and the level of care I received before, during, and after the procedure exceeded every expectation. My results look incredibly natural--refreshed, lifted, and youthful without that "done/stretched" look I was worried about. Friends keep telling me I look amazing but can't quite pinpoint why, which is exactly what I hoped for. Recovery was far easier than I anticipated, pain was very little to none and I looked mostly back to myself again in about 2 weeks which also exceeded my expectations. I had many questions along the way, and not only did I always feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for but also everything I was told was spot on with my experience; this grew a great deal of trust with Dr. David and his team. If you're considering a deep plane facelift, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. David. His skill, precision, and aesthetic eye are unmatched, and the confidence I've gained from this experience has been priceless.

The procedure itself went smoothly. I did it under local and was nervous, but it was seriously not bad at all. While I'm still dealing with some minor swelling since it takes 3 months to fully see results (which they prepared me for), I can already see the shape taking form hehehe. I have been wearing my compression garments religiously and getting the drainage massages twice per week. Recovery has been manageable, and anytime I've had a question, the staff has been quick to respond. Even though I'm not fully healed, I already feel confident saying I'd recommend.

    I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I…read morealways knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

    I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

Most importantly, Dr. Smoot is amazing! I could not recommend him and his team enough! I feel a sense of connection to him because his brother (Dr. Wendell Smoot) did my very first breast augmentation 20 years ago at LJCSC so who else better to choose as your surgeon! I went to his office for a consultation regarding removing my 20 year old saline implants and replacing with silicone. I still wanted a very natural look but at the same time go a little bigger and be able to notice it. He took the time to listen to my concerns and my hopes for the outcome of my procedure. He recommends what's best for your body type so you have the best natural results as possible and I LOVE how absolutely honest he is. I trusted him 100% and he gave me the exact results that I wanted. From my initial consult, to my pre-op, to my surgery day, to my post-op's, everything just went so smoothly! In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.
