Before meeting Dr. Kim, I was convinced that he wouldn't be able to help me. After three previous…read morerhinoplasties and dealing with my overly crooked nose and deviated septum, I expected him to tell me--like other plastic surgeons had over the years--to leave my flawed nose alone. To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

I regret using Dr. Kim to do my first revision. It's been 14 months post Op and every day since…read moreavoiding mirrors and hating my reflection. This surgery cost $36,000, took 6.5 hour under anesthesia, was a painful rib graft and I have nothing but severe regret. I had a nasal valve collapse on the left side which caused breathing issues. Those breathing issues are still not resolved and now I'm left with a nose that looks worse than before and even more compromised breathing from the right side. We never discussed shortening my nose and he left me with a bulky, short nose that looks nothing like the morph we discussed. I should have trusted my gut when we couldn't align on a morph and walked away. My front view shows the uneven nostrils that no one would want to look at daily. Not sure why he shortened my SEG when doing so would reveal uneven nostrils. I'm a tall person and a short bulky nose doesn't fit my face. The day of surgery I was obviously super nervous and I tried to go through the plan again and he seemed rushed and dismissed the morph I brought with. My husband was shocked at how Greenbrae surgery center just dumped me in the car after. No one called him and Dr. Kim definitely didn't call him to let him how I did after a 6.5 hour surgery. My primary treated us much better and was 1/3 the price. Dr. Kim seemed rushed to start his vacation and I regret trying to schedule surgery when he was leaving the country shortly after my operation. The worst part is I still can not breathe from the right side. It's always stuffy and feels so bulky. Breathing out feels like the LCSG is obstructing the exhale. He used my own rib which he told me was calcified. Therefore I'm guessing calcified rib is hard to carve small. When I told him at cast off I couldn't breathe from the right side, he abruptly closed the left side to try to prove I could breathe better from the right side. Breathing out is still obstructed. Dr. Kim's demeanor changes once you start to question his work. Cast off was extremely traumatic as my nose was so swollen the photos they took I look like a troll. I assumed at cast off we would talk through what he found in my nose and go through his findings. This was not the case. For paying as much as I did I was basically rushed out. If he took the time to review his post op notes especially to a patient traveling from across the country it would have left me in a better frame of mind. Instead I cried my entire cab ride back to the hotel. My LCSG is hanging in my left nostril. It's huge and bulky and painful when it's cold outside. My left side nostril continuously run and its embarrassing and disgusting. Had he ever once explained that I would need LCSG grafts I would have waited on this surgery or sought another opinion. None of these doctors want to explain that this graft makes your nose hard as a rock and heavy. I still don't even think I needed it as my tip never was collapsed. The spreader graft was all we discussed to open the valve. It was the worst summer of my life where I spent every day crying and not recognizing myself. I am gutted every time I look at photos before this surgery with him. When I told him I was unhappy he tried to suggest BDD and said 90% of his patients have this. That is NOT the case. His lack of listening to the patients desired aesthetics and his lack of feminine aesthetics should not be turned around on the patient like that. The left side is full of scar tissue b/c I can no longer scrunch my nose. There is no after care with Dr. Kim. He takes the cast off and will take a few phone calls but he has no recos to tape, no HBOT recos, you will be driving that train with him. I now need to muster up the courage to start consulting revision doctors at my year mark and decide if I can withstand going through the emotional turmoil of a 3rd operation to my face/nose to correct the liberties he took with my face. The healing and swelling post revision is awful. The cost of a revision is high and the outcomes aren't always good.

I really appreciate how natural and conservative her approach is, and you can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work. What impressed me just as much was her follow-up. She personally checked in with me afterward to see how I was healing and has been extremely responsive whenever I've had questions. Being an injector myself, I know how important that level of patient care is, and Sally truly goes above and beyond. I'm so glad I chose her and would absolutely recommend her!

It's such a relief to look in the mirror and not look like I'm exhausted every day. I have no doubt my face will look even better in the near future. Dr. Chang's staff members- Lisa, Niloo, Jerri, and Kellie- are all warm, inviting, and knowledgeable. It's always a pleasure to interact with them. I chose Dr. Chang not only because she's one of the best surgeons in San Francisco, but also because she's a woman in a field dominated by men.

She spent a full hour with me, not just discussing surgical goals, but really getting to know me - my life, my family, and what I was hoping for. I left that appointment genuinely moved. She and her team made me feel seen, supported, and completely at ease. It was a stark contrast to other consultations that felt rushed and impersonal, like I was just another patient on the schedule. Choosing Dr. Horton was an easy decision. That level of care carried through every step of the process, from pre-op to post-op. Dr. Horton is warm, approachable, and truly invested in her patients' happiness and outcomes. I'm absolutely thrilled with my results, and honestly, my only regret is not doing this sooner. I also want to give a special shoutout to the front desk and nursing staff. They consistently go above and beyond to make every visit feel welcoming and positive. I can't recommend Dr. Horton and her team highly enough.

I am writing this review in the hope that others will truly think twice before choosing Karen…read moreHorton as their surgeon. I underwent a breast lift with implants. From the beginning after surgery, I noticed serious issues. One breast sits higher and is larger than the other, and I was told it would settle, but it never did. My nipples are now significantly larger due to over-stretching and are positioned so high that I cannot comfortably wear many normal tops or swimsuits. I also have permanent nerve damage. I have 0 sensation, and my scarring is uneven and extensive. When I brought my concerns to her, I was told by Karen I would need a revision, which was incredibly upsetting in itself. However, what was even more disheartening was the lack of care or follow-up afterward. The only communication I received from the office consisted of impersonal emails asking me to vote for Dr. Horton for "Best Of" awards or to leave a positive review, rather than any genuine concern for what I was going through. Before writing this, I sought out three separate consultations with other board-certified surgeons. All three confirmed the same thing: the work was poorly done, my breasts were completely botched, and I would require a full revision. I have since had my revision surgery with an amazing surgeon who did the absolute best he could to correct everything Karen had done to me. Unfortunately, much of the damage from my surgery with Karen is irreversible, and I'll forever have to live with a lot of the damage she did to me. Not to mention, Karen did not want to release my surgical records to my new surgeon so he could perform my revision. He had to personally contact her so we could finally get the paperwork. Once the paperwork was provided, we were surprised to see that Karen had self documented a diagnosis of body dysmorphia in my records, despite never having been diagnosed with that condition by a mental health professional. I actually love my body but wanted to make improvements to my breasts after having a child. Do not be swayed by awards, presentation, or the impression given during consultations and pre-operative appointments. I spent over $38k on this surgery with Karen to be absolutely botched. I don't believe she should be practicing at all after what she has done to my body and everything I have heard from many, many other surgeons after they saw my breasts and after my revision surgery as well. I would never want anyone else to go through what I have experienced. If anyone is considering this surgeon and has questions or wants to understand more about what went wrong, I am more than willing to share more of my experience. Hannahsorn@gmail.com

For context, I received 3cc facial Renuva injections in Beverly Hills two years ago but that…read moresurgeon didn't numb my face and those injections were more painful than actual surgery. Fast forward to this year, I read that Dr. Rajagopal was the number one Renuva provider in the country and her website stated that numbing cream was used. I was terrified of more pain but hopeful that this experience would be less painful. At this office, numbing cream was literally applied to my face for 30 minutes and then ice was applied afterwards. Although the injections were still painful, they were much more tolerable. Dr. Rajagopal has a gentle hand, a kind demeanor, and good aesthetic sense. I've seen four other different plastic surgeons but Dr. Rajagopal has given me the most faith in doctors. I wish that I had known about her earlier. I would definitely come here for Renuva injections or other treatments as needed. They are not inexpensive at 2500 for 3 cc. Dr. Rajagopal clearly cares about people and their comfort. This is very important as any surgery or injection is a stressful experience so bedside manners and genuine concern is priceless. The only odd thing was that I was presented the bill during numbing by a staff member. Payment is expected after treatment and I knew the cost beforehand so it was strange to get the bill during the middle of the procedure and then after the procedure again. I would have been happy to pay in advance if they are worried about people leaving without paying. In any case, the office staff was nice. There was easy and free private parking provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rajagopal for her keen aesthetic eye and caring demeanor.

The value of being able to stand, undressed, with a new person, and to talk with them about your body is such an intimate act - and Dr. Xu handled this with me with expertise and grace. She validated my progress and was encouraging about future potential. Dr. Xu was professional and caring in every encounter. The office staff is welcoming and encouraging and humorous. The space is lovely and feels comfortable. The most wonderful thing is ... the outcome of the surgery, the contouring specifically is truly beautiful. I feel like I have my own natural arm shape and it feels freeing and makes me so happy. Surgery comes with scars and they are a trade off for me. I love my arms so much, even with the scars, which are still young and will heal and fade further. Scar tape works incredibly well and is a very low cost resource I highly recommend. For me, Dr. Xu's personality, her skill set, and her eye for esthetics are simply incredible. It is also clear that the office team is trying to provide an experience for their clients to feel welcomed, held, cared about, and supported throughout the process, including into recovery. One thing I would prepare others for who are considering this option is that the surgery center and anesthesiologist were an expensive part of the overall package. While I trust and feel confident with Dr. Xu, there are other people who also support the surgery. The anesthesiologist was trying to put an iv in my foot, which was painful, before Dr. Xu arrived and advised him to put me under first. That seems like something the anesthesiologist, with all his years of experience, should have known to do himself. The surgery itself went beyond the estimated time and both the surgery center and anesthesiologist had additional fees, increasing the overall cost by ~2k. With that said, I do highly recommend Dr. Xu to others. Go meet her and her team and hear her thoughts and see if what she can offer will meet your needs.

What I appreciated the most: his very personable bedside manner and his no-pressure approach. He even said very genuinely that I didn't NEED any enhancements - it's more about what I WANTED, to feel best about myself. When you are considering cosmetic procedures in the face & neck area, it's imperative that you select a surgeon who is certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology in Head and Neck Surgery, as Dr. Dedhia is. Prior to meeting Dr. Dedhia, I had consulted with a general plastic surgeon, and she nearly guided me in the wrong direction. Additionally, make sure to select a plastic surgeon who takes the time to truly understand any medical issues you have so that they can help you evaluate the risks and benefits of what you are considering cosmetically. I have multiple health conditions, including one that is very rare - Dr. Dedhia fully took all of them into account, even doing research in advance of our appointments to make sure he deeply understood what we were dealing with. Then, he explained clearly how my healing and outcome could be affected, guiding me down the most sensible path. (By contrast, another very experienced head & neck plastic surgeon I'd seen earlier this year had recommended a procedure that was far too drastic under the circumstances). Overall, I felt fully confident in Dr. Dedhia's judgement. And I should also mention that the customer service was top-notch throughout my experience, thanks to his office manager Colleen. In sum, Dr. Dedhia is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, professional, and personable - for those reasons, I give him my highest recommendation.

So I've been following the Dr. Mabrie for a few years now and after all positive reviews still till…read morethis year, I've decided to take the plunge :-D Everyone at the office is so nice. I was greeted by front desk who's always so cheerful. My first visit was with Kimberly to get my lips done. I did my homework and watched a few of the videos on their Instagram and was confident enough to schedule with her. I had a bad experience with an injector at a different place a few years back, so I made sure to look at all examples and information online and on any media platform. I was comfortable and happy with my experience. My upper lip is really thin but it goes forward at the tip, so when I explained my concern to Kimberly, she gave me some good recommendations to be done. She also made sure my bottom lip was full and projected so it balanced out with my upper lip, I noticed the difference . Crystal was the medical assistant who explained the procedure and answer most questions I had. Again, very knowledgeable and left me with a good vibe. Not to mention, the music request and lavender lights (they asked what my favorite cold wax prior to the appointment) was a nice touch! My second visit was with Dr. Mabrie himself to get a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Cool guy. I was supposed to come back and see Kimberly for my lip refinement appointment but Dr. Mabrie said he'd use the rest of my Restylane Kysse filler to touch up. Very kind of him. Note: They recommend a minimal of 2 appointments, one to lay down the foundation in the first injection, and then come back after a month or so for refinement. I think that is a great idea! I've noticed some practices only do one appointment and when they inject too much at one time, the filler seems to just spread everywhere. That is exactly what happened a few years back somewhere else. Anyway, so now I finally have a little bridge on my nose which I'm liking a lot! The tip does look projected, but I'm looking forward for my refinement to get a little more definition. I did also want to mention Rochelle the nurse who numbed me both times, with Kimberly on my lips and Dr. Mabrie with my nose- super down to earth and was very patient with me (I hate needles!) but definitely made my experience soothing. Matt was really cool, too.. I think that's his name. He was the one who assisted and prepped me on my second visit with Dr. Mabrie. As I was waiting for Dr. Mabrie, he recommended that Squid Game was a good drama series.. haha. Now I'm hooked!
