I call Dr Ransom a magician because what he does is magical! The skills and artistry of his work are beyond words! I didn't even know he was this amazing until I saw it on myself. It's incredible! I was so lucky to be treated by Dr Ransom! He also does a lot of volunteer surgeries helping abused women and children in poverty. That speaks volumes! Dr Ransom's team is very kind and professional. From the lady who helped me start the process and guide me -Suzanne, to the sweetest nurse Patricia, to the beautiful Yesenia NP, and the front desk lady Emily! All were incredibly attentive and took a personable care of me. If you want to trust your beauty and wellbeing to someone, this is the best doctor and the best team that's out there!! read more

Highly recommend. Dr. Ransom and his staff were extremely kind, attentive and professional. Dr. Ransom went above and beyond. I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty. VERY happy with results. My self-esteem has gone way up :-). All around positive experience. read more

Evan Ransom, MD - Before - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

My only regret? Not coming sooner. I felt so cared for at every step of the process, from consult to surgery to ad hoc questions about medication and aftercare. I particularly appreciated that Dr Ransom took the time to understand my goals and develop a personalized surgical plan based on my anatomy. I could not be happier with the results. The nurse & front desk team are also all so incredible and kind! read more

I'm so happy that I chose Dr. Ransom do my rhinoplasty. He designed a surgical plan that helped to meet my goals, while also keeping in mind what would suit my facial features. He was realistic and upfront about what limitations existed due to my facial anatomy, and what would be safe and flattering in the long term. I appreciate how personalized my consult felt, and that my surgical plan fit me rather than whatever nose is "trendy". Despite the significant changes made to my nose during my rhinoplasty, I didn't even bruise! I'm healing well, and I couldn't have asked for better results! I cannot stress enough how wonderful Dr. Ransom's team is. As someone who is usually a bit nervous with medical procedures, I really appreciate how empathetic and attentive his team is. Holly and Emily were very responsive and helpful with scheduling, notes, etc. Yesenia was amazing at answering all of my questions about my prescriptions and aftercare. Patricia is so kind, and I feel very grateful she was there for me pre/post-op. I would enthusiastically recommend Ransom M.D. to other rhinoplasty seekers! read more

The undisputed best!!! This is the only office in the Bay Area I've found where the doctor himself performs both filler and Botox. After hearing (and seeing) so many horror stories of tox and filler gone wrong, I will never take my chances anywhere else. Dr. Ransom is not only a brilliant surgeon and educator -- he truly understands facial anatomy on another level. His bedside manner is unmatched: kind, personable, attentive, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. He explains everything with such clarity and honesty; it's a breath of fresh air to meet a doctor like him. And I certainly have to shout out Regina -- she's the heartbeat of the whole office. So warm, efficient, responsive, and genuinely beautiful inside and out. Appointments can be tough to get, but it's 100% worth the wait (and the drive!). They don't even upcharge at all for Dr. Ransom's expertise -- though they absolutely could! I'm loving my lip filler and trap tox (no more tension in my neck/shoulders!) and am thrilled to have an artist of a doctor that I can completely trust once I start needing more anti-aging treatments. I've scoured the reviews and photos of every injector in Nor Cal, and trust me, there is no one better. read more

Subpar all around. Spend your money elsewhere. Apologizing for excessive bruising does not make them go away. Oops they forgot to give some ointment to aid in healing. Oh well you can go back and get or you can also not have it.. Those were the options for their error. There are so many in this city. read more

Although I had my procedure done early 2025, I had to write this review because my experience at Dr. Ransom's office has been haunting me. I needed a blepharoplasty for my heavy eyelids and found Dr. Ransom on Yelp listed as an excellent, kind, friendly doctor. The consultation was great, Dr. Ransom listened to exactly what I wanted, assured me that not too much would be removed and was very kind. I felt like I was going to be in good hands. A woman at the office took me into another room, showed me some before and after pictures, (though I'm not sure she made note of which ones I liked), and I asked how long is the recovery time, she said "Oh just a week, you can have your procedure Monday and stitches removed Friday." Great, I took a week off. Monday, the day of procedure, before the procedure, we were in a room and Dr. Ransom was getting things together in a rush. I was surprised he didn't confirm what we talked about or go over what he about to do. So I said, "just a little off eyelids and subtle right?" He just said "right" as he was assembling things. I asked "can you please go over the procedure?" and he did. At the beginning of the procedure, his Assistant placed a slightly adhesive pad on the side of my belly, (to monitor my vitals during the procedure). He injected anesthetic around my right eye, then my left eye, (though I noted that he didn't inject/spend as much time injecting my left eye). The procedure was going well, I felt no pain as he starting on my right eye, (though it was unsettling that Dr. Ransom and his Assistant were having casual conversation while working on my eyes-I know he must have done this procedure hundreds of times before, but still - this is my face). Towards the end, Dr. Ransom spent a good amount of time with the stitches on my right eye, but when he started on my left eye, I really felt pain, said it really hurts and "Ow." I realized he must have run out of anesthetic in his syringe when he got to my left eye and just didn't bother to get another syringe. Instead of stopping to give me more anesthetic, he just kept saying, "we're almost done, we're almost done." After reeling from that, his Assistant proceeded to slowly tear off the adhesive pad on my belly, (which is slightly hairy), and I yelped "Ouch!" I was too caught off guard to tell him to just rip the pad off like a bandaid and the Assistant kept saying "sorry, sorry" as he continued to slowly tear off the pad. After I continued to say "ouch, ouch!", Dr. Ransom said, "Oh your little hairs." So in addition to being in pain, I'm now belittled. Feeling terrible from this, I got dressed, shuffled to the Receptionist and scheduled stitches to removed that Friday. Close to Friday, the Receptionist called me to say my appointment was moved to Monday. I said but I took this week off and have to go back to work Monday. She said the doctor said I would get better results if I waited a couple more days to have the stitches removed. It seemed like a lie because why did they have schedule the appt for Friday originally? Silence from her, implying there is nothing I can do about it. Following the appointment, to minimize scars, I was to have 3 small laser zaps at the ends of each eye, administered by the Assistant. I have deep horizontal creases at the ends of my eyes, (had them for a long time), and I asked the Assistant if there was a procedure to address those. He said maybe some filler can help with the "canyons." I had to laugh at the exaggeration and cruelty of the term. I looked at him when he said it and I honestly believe he wasn't trying to be mean, that really was the word that came to his mind. Although ultimately results of the blepharoplasty were perfect, due to the experiences above, I just can not bring myself to go back to that office. I do believe Dr. Ransom is kind, it just may be another situation of having too many clients lined up back-to-back. read more

Dr Ransom did my keloid scar removal and I honestly couldn't be happier with both the results and the whole experience. From the beginning, he was kind, honest, and made me feel completely at ease. But what really makes him stand out is how well he's taken care of me over time. Even years after the procedure, I still go back to him when I need anything, and he always treats me with the same care and attention. Also, a huge shoutout to Nurse Patricia! She's incredibly kind and has always treated me with so much warmth and care. She's one of those people who just makes the whole experience feel more comfortable and human. If you're looking for a team that's not only skilled but genuinely caring, I can't recommend Dr. Ransom office enough. read more

I recommend Dr. Ransom and his practice without reservation. I suffered from a skin condition known as "rhinophyma" which led permanent, misshapen lumps to develop on my nose. Dr. Ransom was able to reshape my rhinophyma-distorted nose and restore its symmetry. Dr. Ransom and his staff are the best: kind, understanding, helpful, courteous, and above all professional. They'll walk you calmly through every step of the process, including follow-on care. I hope you'll consider Dr. Ransom's practice for your own individual needs, and I think you'll be as happy with your results as I have been with mine. read more

I recently had a Deep Plane Facelift/Necklift with Dr. Ransom and had an excellent experience and result throughout. Dr Ransom is truly an elite facial surgeon whose skills and training are of the finest caliber, as evidenced by my much restored facial and neck structure while keeping a natural result. My procedure was comprehensive and also included a fat transfer to restore volume to the eye and hollowed areas, a temporal brow lift, submandibular gland reduction and CO2 laser. My cheeks are lifted, my jawline svelt, and my eyes/brows more open and youthful. I'm very pleased with my outcome...all very natural and I still look like me. While he keeps a modest social media profile, Dr. Ransom's work I feel holds well next to any of the more famous 'Instagram doctors' out there. My recovery was smooth, with no complications and his team of medical assistants, including Patricia, Yesenia and Suzanne were very supportive and helpful throughout. Some bruising and swelling as expected, but about 3 weeks to start looking good. His chosen board-certified anesthesiologist for my procedure, Dr. Spina, was also excellent and spent time beforehand to interview me and make sure my surgery was safe. For facelifts, Dr Ransom only schedules one facelift per day, so he can dedicate the required time to thoroughly release ligaments, find the correct vertical vector, and be careful around nerve components. I also completed their recommended daily hyperbaric chamber recovery for four days immediately after to help with healing and only needed Tylenol, no pain meds. I am now more than six weeks out and my incisions are nearly undetectable, though his office will provide me complimentary follow-up laser touch-ups to prevent scar lines. Getting plastic surgery and choosing a surgeon is a daunting process, and I would not hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone looking for any facial plastic surgery needs. Dr Ransom works only on the face, with an impressive portfolio of noses, facelifts, eyes, revisions and other face reconstruction cases. Dr Ransom is kind and humble and listens to your concerns, and will provide you a safe and competent journey. read more

NO MORE SHAME, Just Confidence!!!! I couldn't be happier with my experience! From the very first consultation, Dr. Ransom made me feel heard, understood, and completely at ease. I had been nervous about getting a lip reduction, but their professionalism, and gentle approach gave me total confidence. The results exceeded my expectations -- natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. I feel happy and I truly love my new look. The recovery process was smooth, and the care I received before, during, and after the procedure was outstanding. Thank you, Dr. Ransom, and your amazing team for the incredible work on my big, droopy lips. I'm more confident than ever and no longer feel the pressure of being body shamed. Your skill, care, and understanding was such a positive and empowering experience. I'm truly grateful -- and I'll carry this confidence with me always. Sincerely, Henrietta Nasa read more

Evan Ransom, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got hairline reduction surgery done with Dr. Ransom and it was such an amazing, life changing experience. I was always super self conscious of my forehead size. I'd heard of the procedure and the majority of surgeons were located in the LA area, or out of the country in Turkey, etc. Dr. Ransom was local, was extremely affordable compared to other surgeons offering the same procedure - and I couldn't be happier with the results, my experience, the office as a whole. By far the most professional, caring team you could have. I received my last laser treatment for the incision site, and I'm so sad that my healing journey is nearing an end. I really enjoyed coming in and seeing everyone! I cannot recommend Dr. Ransom enough - you will be in AMAZING hands under his care! I can't post this without truly thanking this practice for everything! read more

LIFE CHANGING !!! Wow. There's so much I want to say about Dr. Ransom and his team. They are simply amazing + exceeded all of my expectations. I am now officially ONE YEAR OUT (woot woot) from my procedure and I am overjoyed with the results. Furthermore, the care and service provided over the past year (and to date). If you're combing reviews to research the best plastic surgeon for your needs (as I was over a year ago) AND you are getting the sense in your gut that Dr. Ransom and his team are the ones for you *Nike swoosh* JUST DO IT - at the very least, reach out for a consult. Okay here's a punch list of things I was looking for and rundown of my experience: ABOUT ME Male. Asian. Mid-30s. I knew I wanted to address my chin (or lack thereof) since I was in elementary school. It was time. CONSULT A breeze. They got me scheduled in quickly. Fair warning, they do book up quickly though (sometimes a few months out), so I recommend reaching out sooner than later. Dr. Ransom is straightforward, super knowledgeable and kind. Honestly, the best kind of doctor. I never felt rushed, but always felt that the time we spent together was intentional and purposeful. He knew what I wanted and shared examples of previous work he has done (lots of patients you don't see on the website). I felt super assured. Ended the consult with a game plan in place + transparent and accurate cost quote. I confirmed and booked my procedure that same day - as in, HELL YES let's get this scheduled, I still needed to wait 3 months before I could get the ACTUAL surgery lol (duh). I was going to get a chin implant only (no lipo). COST Honestly, super reasonable and people are always surprised when I have them guess. So don't be scared of cost. But since this is SO SUBJECTIVE, I'm going to encourage you to get a quote from them before you rule out thinking you can't afford it. PRE-OP Omg they were so sweet. Detailed layout of what I needed to do + the medications leading up. Intro to my nurse and essentially guide through this process PATRICIA - one of my favorite humans ever. She is *chefs kiss* a SMILE and DELIGHT to be around - you will feel so taken care of. Trust. She's your righthand person through the procedure and aftercare and beyond. Also, a very thorough call with my anesthesiologist the day before my procedure. Everyone was on the ball. PROCEDURE Dude. I was in and out with a couple hours. The actual procedure was about an hour. I got there super early and did a little consult, got my happy pills, reclined in the chair and the next thing I know they're waking me up telling me how well it went. DIRECTLY AFTER (2 WEEKS POST-OP) Okay. People barely talk about this. But buckle up bc this is kind of a mind f*ck. Think about it. You're in recovery and basically a recluse for a few weeks. It's very lonely and isolating. That's the only thing I will say you need to prepare for. Also, I lost my appetite - so protein shakes were good to have handy. I saw Dr. Ransom one week post-op to remove my bandages. It was all super smooth and clean from a clinical standpoint. I think the biggest thing I want to stress here is the mental prep and realistic planning you'll have to do to take care of yourself (this is on you boo). Also, they surprised me with a little (I'm keeping it a secret) to cheer me up after my procedure, which was so sweet! POST-OP / FOLLOW-UP So organized and orderly. You have basic checkpoints (one week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc). And of course, they'll prioritize seeing you if anything comes up in-between. The key to this time is to make sure you are keeping up with aftercare (honestly just keeping clean and doing as told, like specific massages on your incision line to reduce scar tissue). My incision line scar is barely noticeable. You would only know it's there if I told you I had the procedure done and showed you where. THEIR TEAM I love these people. So so much. They are professional, patient, kind, thoughtful, informative, smart, and make sure you always feel TAKEN CARE OF - Dr. Ransom, Holly, Patricia, Regina, Brittany, Dr. Kwan (anesthesia)... you guys ROCK!!! Thank you. NOW What are you waiting for?! Give them a call or shoot them an email. It's a tiny step (and I know it can be scary), but if not now, then WHEN? That's the same convo I had internally too. It's time to invest in yourself and do the things you've been wanting to do for so long. Big hugs, good luck, and shine on! read more

Evan Ransom, MD - BEFORE / AFTER (6 months post-op). PATIENT INFO: Male. Asian. Mid-30s. Chin implant only (no lipo). Implant size large. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cannot recommend Dr. Ransom enough! Not only is he incredible at his craft, he is kind and personable which makes every experience enjoyable and comforting. He also is honest (hard to come by these days) - I asked once about getting elective surgeries and he was upfront about the cost and the details. Most importantly he didn't pressure me to move forward but instead encouraged me to keep thinking and researching and we spoke about it at my follow up appointment. I really appreciate the fact that he is ethical in his practice and focuses on you as a person over simply just making money. It also helps that I look incredible because of him read more

I do not often write reviews but this one, I must.... I cannot say enough incredible things about my experience with Dr Evan Ransom and his entire team. From the very first consultation, it was clear that his approach, precision, and philosophy set him apart. I had consulted with several surgeons prior to making my decision, and by far, his technique and attention to detail were unmatched. At just four weeks post-facelift, I am already beyond impressed with my results. The outcome looks natural, refined, and beautifully aligned with what I had hoped for--if not better. It's clear that his precision and expertise are exceptional. His staff is also phenomenal--warm, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. I'm still early in the healing journey, and if week four is any indication, I cannot wait to see the final results. I feel confident, grateful, and so glad I made this choice. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely agree with Dane D. The front desk person is rude and dismissive. I wanted an appointment but was not important enough. This was not what I expected. Wonder what the doctor is like. read more

Dr Ransom and his staff are excellent. Dr Ransom is professional, kind and deeply listens to the goals you are trying to achieve. If you want a beautiful, natural aesthetic, Dr Ransom is the surgeon you want. He balances your vision with what will achieve the best, most natural-looking result. His team is amazing. They are caring, attentive, organized, and straightforward about the costs and the procedure expectations and details. I highly recommend Dr Ransom. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Ransom for almost 10 years now! I started coming here in my mid 30s for under eye fillers because I had dark circles and eye bags (see my prior review). Over the past few years, I've also started to get fillers in my nasal labial folds and Botox all over my forehead, crows feet, and smile lines. I no longer live in SF but travel here quarterly just to see Dr Ransom. He's worth the traffic and the commute! I "cheated" and went to a nurse injector in Palo Alto for a year or so but decided to come back to Dr. Ransom because I trust board certified plastic surgeons / MDs far more, yes, even when it's non-surgical work. I feel like they understand the anatomy far more. I've heard horror stories of people getting droopy eyelids after getting Botox and decided I'm only going to trust the tried and true Dr Ransom for this. Dr. Ransom is very fast and efficient. Botox all over my forehead and smile lines only take about 10 minutes and he's normally very on-time. I'm very happy with my results and have never had any negative outcome. I still highly recommend Dr Ransom if you're interested in fillers or Botox. read more

I had my neck lift surgery eight months ago and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Ransom and his staff are outstanding. They took great care of me and today I had my after photos. I could see such a difference in my before and after photos. So glad I made the decision to have Dr. Ransom be my surgeon. read more

I had a lip lift with Dr Ransom to correct some asymmetry caused by an old implant I had for many years and finally removed a couple of years ago. The results are great. Dr Ransom is extremely skilled and I trust him with every cosmetic procedure. Thank you Dr Ransom for the beautiful results! read more

My brother is a doctor. An M.D. I proudly brag that, at a fairly young age, and until his retirement, he was Chief of Staff at The Veterans's hospital in Sacramento. To show you how good he was - my brother was a doctor's doctor. Many of his patients were doctors. My brother never entered the medical field because he wanted to make a lot of money. Becoming a doctor, to him, was a sacred calling. When I became 'A certain age' and decided on cosmetic surgery, my brother, grew mildly irritated by my mention of plastic surgeons and said something to this extent "These plastic surgeons really tick me off." "Why?" I asked him. I paraphrase his response, "The united States needs doctors. Because it is phnomanely expensive to educate a doctor. It is so costly that no individual, alone, can afford to pay for his/her own tuition. They need to be government subsidized - which means that the taxpayer picks up their tab. And then, these 'doctors', misuse the privilege of having the taxpayer pay for their medical schooling, by greedily overcharging the public for cosmetic enhancement services." When i have criticized plastic surgeons for this practice, they tell me they do a lot of 'charitable work' for none or low income people. I shoot back - what about the average taxpayer who footed the bill for the cost of your medical training? - when do they get a little financial help from you in the form of a price break for cosmetic surgery? Ever think about giving back to those who have financially given to you? When I called Dr Ransome's office, to set up a consultation, I was told there would be a long wait and also a $200 charge. I agreed to these terms. BUT. i felt I was being preyed upon. The cost of surgery was really high! (What we women won't do for beauty) 3 days passed. I recceived a call from Ransome's office. They were going to do me the supreme favor of 'uping' my appointment. Dr. Ransome could see me earlier. When the call came, i was on the phone with a family member discussing a medical emercency. I could not stop my phone conversation and take Dr. Ransome's call. This resulted in my cosmetic consultation appointment being canceled. I was being punished. I never heard back from Ransome's office. And I suddenly didn't care. His fee was enormous! I would need to borrow money and spend the rest of my life paying it back. I know medical insurance etc is costly BUT ...to charge patients the cost of a house that isnt in California??? Can Artificial Intelligence train me to become a plastic surgeon doctor who operates on greedy cosmetic surgeons and cuts out all the ugly greed in them? read more

Dr Ransom is phenomenal. He has all the qualities you want in a plastic surgeon - he listens carefully, he's conservative in his approach, and he has an artistic eye. His results speak for themselves. I've had a couple of procedures done by Dr Ransom. I've come away looking better and with such a natural no one would know - exactly what I wanted! I came back a year later wishing to make a small revision, and he did so without charge. I had expected to pay because the revision was very subjective, but he wouldn't hear of it. And to top it off his staff are incredibly friendly and professional. You can tell they enjoy working for him (which also says a lot about him as a human being)! read more

Dr. Rasom is an excellent surgeon. He understands the goal of altering ones appearance - and most importantly he can do so focused on the the patient goals and not have the outcome be obvious surgical interventions. I am just delighted with my facelift/necklift/upper and lower bleth. I get such a kick out of slipping my age into a conversation (when appropriate) and universally getting the shocked looks and estimations of 15 years younger. "no, you couldnt possibly be 65, I thought you were 50" Genious! The entire team is amazing and I am delighted with all of it. read more

Amazing skilled Doctor!! My long time problem has been fixed by Dr. Evan R Ransom. I had unsymmetrical upper lips and it has been my big stress for a long time. When I look at me lip now, I tear up!! Thank you so much for your artistic medical skill!! read more

Professional, beautiful comfortable office. Amazing staff, easy to get to. Parking garage next door. Excited to continue working with Dr. Ransome and his team. read more

Like many people, I never thought I would have plastic surgery. But after consulting with my dermatologist and meeting Dr. Ransom, I decided it was for me. I felt that both the doctor and the staff were so thoughtful and careful but you never know how it is all going to go. But fast forward 6 months from my surgery, and I am so thrilled I did this. The results are incredible - I just look like a younger/refreshed version of my self, not some crazy person my friends wouldn't recognize! And on top of that, the way I was treated in the days before and after surgery as well as months after has been consistently spectacular. Any question or concern - answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. I cannot recommend Dr. Ransom and his entire team (especially Patricia!!) are the very best. read more

Office is beautiful, staff are lovely, and Dr. Ransom was very compassionate and straight forward. First time getting Botox and I loved my results. I've been back a few times and now wish I had gotten it sooner. read more

I will start by saying the coordinators I spoke to on the phone are nice and this is probably not their fault as pricing is dictated by those administrating services. However, this business has very questionable business practices as I was quoted $850 for a procedure in March 2021 and when I called back to actually schedule the consultation was told it was $3,500 in June 2021. If you are considering Evan Ransom and don't mind that sort of questionable pricing hike then feel free but that feels very strange to me. Note: both quotes were meant as guidance before a consultation but were for the same hypothetical service. read more

He is a true artist and knows his stuff. Personalized experience made me feel understood, and all concerns were addressed to a T. Highly recommended top tier bay area surgeon. No doubts. read more

If you asked me, "Who's your favorite artist?" I'd say "Dr. Evan Ransom." He has mastered all the elements of his medium: aesthetic, technical, and interpersonal. I've had the privilege of Dr. Ransom's talent on numerous procedures: a lip lift, brow lift, rasping rhinoplasty, Kybella, Profound RF, fillers, and Botox. I keep coming back because his skill truly stands out among the rest. The first thing I noticed about his work is that he has an incredible eye for symmetry. I've included photos of my lip lift, which improved a longstanding asymmetry in my lower face. I was amazed that he was able to correct this type of shape. In my consults with other surgeons, I've noticed that some have strong preferences for, or against, certain treatments and techniques. But Dr. Ransom offers a refreshing lack of dogma. He's cognitively flexible and considers the options based on their merits. It's great to geek out with him if you want an in-depth, anatomical explanation of his approach. If you're the kind of person who likes to know what's happening from a technical standpoint -- which, in the Bay Area, a lot of us are -- Dr. Ransom is happy to indulge that. Tasteful aesthetic judgment is another of his gifts. If you want to guarantee that no one will ever know you've had plastic surgery, Dr. Ransom is your surgeon. He knows how to do "just enough" to create greater facial harmony, without creating any unnatural contours. Each surgery and treatment has been a wonderfully pleasant experience, as well. You can tell how deeply he cares about his work, and about each person he treats. It genuinely brightens my day to see him. Dr. Ransom is supported by an all-star team. It's a pleasure to chat with Regina when I book and check-out of my countless appointments. Holly keeps me organized pre- and post-op, so I always know how to care for my results. Brittany removes stitches in a magically painless way. Patricia is an angel that keeps me comfortable (and entertained!) before and after surgery. I've gotten to work with two of his anesthesiologists, too -- Dr. Spina and Dr. Lo -- and had a perfectly smooth experience with the anesthesia. Dr. Ransom knows how to pick a quality team. I'm tremendously grateful to Dr. Ransom for 5+ years of beautiful aesthetic medical work. I look forward to many more! read more

Evan Ransom, MD - Stunning lip lift result by Dr. Ransom that corrected my asymmetry. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I cannot say enough about the care, quality, and experience of working with Dr. Ransom, and his staff, Holly and Regina (I cannot remember the name of the young man who also works there). I have yet to see the full results of the injectables I got, but I was aware of Dr. Ransom's careful work as he was treating me. I likened him to a skilled and superior sculptor; indeed, I imagined him as an artist carefully handling his tools. Both he and the staff are supportive, kind, and generous in their treatment, care, and advice. I look forward to continuing to work with him and his staff. read more

I went in for a mid-facelift in March or April 2022 at the age of 48. Now, just two years later, my face (particularly jowls) look that same as before. To be honest I didn't feel I got the desired result from the beginning, not just two years post-op. I'm neurotic about skincare and sunscreen and always have been, so I know I've taken great care of my skin. I also have another SF doctor for filler and botox, so if anything the filler from the Dr has helped my jowls - but they're still very much there. Dr Ransom and his team are very nice and professional, that's not the problem. The problem is that I don't think the procedure really helped very much at all. And considering the cost, trauma of surgery, and recovery process involved...it sadly and very disappointingly wasn't worth it. Sorry. read more

Since my last review, I have had a lower facelift (mini) and subsequently an under eye lift surgery. Wow! My results are so natural, and it's 100% Dr Ransom's expertise! I was able to heal and be out in public in a matter of days. I thought that I would have scars under my eyes, but Dr Ransom places the incision INSIDE the eye! And I couldn't feel anything! Amazing work. I truly look amazing. (Turned 60 years old in April, 2023). You'd think Dr Ransom is a magician!! He must be because I feel magical! Thank you Dr Ransom and your amazing staff!! You rock !! read more

Dr. Ransom is a skilled doctor who approaches his work with the eye and talent of an artist. He is confident, has a clear vision of the procedure he is undertaking, and made sure that I was completely comfortable with everything before surgery. And he was always available after surgery for any questions or concerns. He also has the most amazing staff who helped make me feel supported and cared for before, during, and after surgery! A first-rate team of highly trained professionals! I recommend Dr. Ransom without reservation and will definitely call on him again for any other cosmetic surgery requests! He does beautiful work! read more

Had a laser resurface from dr Ransome and team . they were all very gentle ,kind and caring and it went very well . I appreciate that dr Ransom is kind and honest and never feels like a salesman but more of a Michealangelo (as another reviewer said lol) he has told me i don't need certain things done which shows his integrity Im in my 50s and Dr Evan has helped me feel more confident and radiant which is inline with how I feel on the inside :-) Patricia is his awesome assistant and also a wonderful person . Always calls back in a very short amount of time and is always fun and very on it ! read more

"Nobody's perfect" - direct quote from Dr. Ransom when I pointed out my $14,000 rhinoplasty left me with a crooked nose. And the big scar my $6000 neck lift left me with that I was told would grow hair back? Yeah, no hair grew back. So I went in for a steroid shot to help it along. That stuff must be pricey because I got one tiny shot in the middle of the scar and that was it. A few months later and one hair grew there. Went back for another shot, same thing. One tiny shot in one spot, though this time two hairs grew. I had to pay another Dr. $3000 to fix it with a facial hair transplant. Yay. The one and only time you will have more than 5m to talk with Dr. Ransom is during your consult when he's trying to sell you. No fancy 3D face mapping here to see what the outcome will be. He seems to rely on a couple photos and the smudge tool in Photoshop to make a blurry approximation of your surgery results, which he did in 2m in another room. After that, expect to deal only with his staff outside of the 30 seconds he squeezes in while rushing around when you come in for follow-ups. Expect questions and concerns to be brushed off. He has a nice office and his own line of generic skin care products to sell you, but results and service for the surgeries do not meet expectations, especially given the cost. PLENTY of other options in SF. There is a reason he can get you in so quick for surgery. Avoid. read more

My experience with Dr. Ransom for my surgery was truly remarkable. As a bald man considering a face or facelift, I had some concerns. However, Dr. Ransom did an incredible job with both my surgery and the scars on my face. I highly recommend him for bald men considering a facelift. I also had a positive experience with everyone in the office, especially Regina at the front desk who was always kind and helpful with my appointments. Next, there is Holly who serves as the patient coordinator. She is truly outstanding. Holly was incredibly kind and supportive when I first arrived, helping me stay calm and informed about all the necessary information regarding the expenses and the details of my surgery. After my surgery, which I believe Dr. Ransom performed exceptionally, I feel that I appear more youthful but in a very natural way, not overly stretched. I am extremely pleased!!! I also want to express my gratitude to my nurse Patricia and Andrew the PA, who were always there for me when I needed reassurance, with a quick email to answer all my questions. They had a very positive attitude about everything and were extremely kind and pleasant. I felt relieved to have them around when I was worried. They were quick to respond, even outside of regular business hours, which was greatly appreciated. Andrew always replied promptly, and Patricia was also amazing. They are both fantastic. Thank you, Dr. Ransom, for your excellent work on a not-so-easy case. I am grateful for your support and recommend you highly to anyone considering surgery. In my opinion, you are the best. read more

Dr. Ransom and his team are absolutely wonderful. I was so happy with the care I received during the consult and throughout my entire time working with him and his staff. When I went in for my last visit, I asked for his opinion on botox, and he made the time to give me my first ever botox treatment! SO pleased with the complete experience. read more

I had multiple facial procedures with Dr. Ransom (Facelift, brow lift, upper eye blepharoplasty and fat grafting). Six months post-surgery, I am thrilled with how refreshed and natural everything looks. My neck and jawline are restored beyond my expectation's. Dr Ransom was attentive, thorough and friendly throughout the process. His team, especially Holly, Patricia and Regina provided excellent care in a cheerful welcoming environment. I enthusiastically recommended Dr Ransom and his wonderful staff for facial plastic surgery. read more
