    After such an excellent experience with Dr. Chiu at BHPS for breast augmentation, I went back for Botox and filler and could not have been more pleased with the results! I have struggled with TMJ problems for years, so having an injector knowledgeable in how to obtain the results I was looking for while also providing information on secondary benefits was incredible! Thanks guys, I'll be back! (:

    DONT waist your time! Im updating my post because everyone needs to know the TRUTH. 1- After my original post the patient coordinator immediately called, asking me to REMOVE my review. 2- I have reached out multiple times to this office and had scheduled a call back time, yet this office FAILED to call during that time slot on multiple occasions. Blocking 1 hour to receive a schedule phone appointment is more than reasonable. -In RESPONSE to Dr. Chiu's comment below: I NEVER Received a single call, message or email from your staff (I can pull up phone records to prove it)... NOT A GOOD LOOK WHEN THE DOCTOR BEGINS TO LIE .... -IF Dr. Chiu actually communicated with his staff he would have seen the emails I sent to 2 office managers and the patient coordinator in regards to the issues that needed to be resolved and the lack of communication on their end... I have attached one of the emails to the office to help possible patients see how unprofessional this office can be. 3- Record your conversation with Dr. Chiu, because he is more than willing to change facts. -(Response to Dr. Chiu from below) Per our phone conversation, Dr. Chiu admitted that his staff never gave him my messages. I don't use a doctors cell phone or home number when my question is not life threatening. If I'm calling the office during business hours and spoke directly with the patient coordinator who said they would get back with an answer PRIOR TO ELECTIONS, then I believe the office needs to respond in a timely manner. Instead, my message and questions were never given to the doctor. 4- Had this office been organized, Dr. Chiu would have known that I never failed to provide medical records, instead his office coordinator was aware and approved the date that it would be received... (I have email proof). 5- Be prepared to PAY $500 for an office visit that will provide you with herbal supplements that can be purchased over the counter. The appointment will last you 15 mins and office staff will read you a packet of instruction (something that I am capable of reading on my own). 6- After 9 missed SCHEDULED call backs in just 3 weeks, it's shocking and disturbing that this office is still open. IM SURE YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER OFFICE THAT IS RELIABLE.

    Two days post-op, and the results get better as the months go on

    Dr. Chiu performed my very first plastic surgery procedure (liposuction). I was so nervous based on the horror stories that we constantly see about other surgeons from the news. In the last few years, I had gained so much weight, and it had all gone directly to my belly. As someone who had been naturally slender my whole life, this new fat was not welcomed and it gave me very low self esteem and confidence. From the very beginning, Dr. Chiu's office walked me through everything step by step. Dr. Chiu nor Veronica ever made me feel like my thousand questions were annoying. They even worked with me on a payment plan until I was able to pay it completely off. Sure, you can find a thousand surgeons performing these procedures, but when you are putting your life and results on the line, you need a doctor like Dr. Chiu, someone who cares, is patient, and is a perfectionist. Dr. Chiu even gave me his personal cell phone number and texted with me in the days following surgery. I love my liposuction and will only be putting my future surgeries in the hands of Dr. Chiu.

I traveled from the East Coast to get my old implants (ruptured with capsular contracture) replaced with him. I knew I was in great hands from start to finish. I can't speak enough great things about Dr. Eugene Kim! He is exceptional in every way. As a surgeon Dr. Eugene is incredibly detailed, careful, attentive, and has excellent surgical technique and gave a lot of individual intention and precision to my specific situation to give me the best possible results long term. His OR nurse and team also spoke very highly of him and his skills. His personality and knowledge are also top notch. Dr Kim is very honest, trustworthy, caring and an expert in his field, with zero ego and over reliance of heavy marketing of other plastic surgeons in town (IMO he doesn't need to, because he's the real deal) He is an absolute professional, pleasant, patient, caring, and humble. My results far exceeded my expectations in every way, as I felt I had a complex case. Dr Eugene Kim is a truly kind and excellent doctor and human who cares about his quality of work and his patients' outcomes and delivers incredible results. Im only 2.5 weeks post op and my results speak for themselves! Could not be happier! I would definitely back to him for any future procedures I may choose to do and recommend him to all, and trust the process. Thank you Dr. Eugene Kim! 11/10- The best of the best.

I has…read moreimplants for ten years prior no issues just wanted them to fit my body more and sit closer together... Several weeks later, while traveling internationally, I began feeling extremely sick and developed worsening symptoms. Antibiotics were recommended/called in, but my condition rapidly escalated. I was ultimately diagnosed overseas with an MSSA staph infection that progressed to sepsis, requiring emergency hospitalization in Nice, France. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a documented fever of approximately 105 degrees and severe vomiting, and I ultimately underwent emergency explant surgery. I had drain placed and remained hospitalized in France for almost a while recovering. This was one of the most traumatic and frightening experiences of my life. Being seriously ill in a foreign country where I did not speak the language made the situation even more terrifying and isolating. In addition to the emotional and physical trauma, this situation also created significant financial consequences for me, including the original surgery costs, emergency ambulance transport, hospitalization and medical care in France, canceled travel plans, changed flights, and the loss of the European trip I had planned. recovery after this was extremely difficult, and I continued to seek medical care for ongoing symptoms and concerns after returning home. I understand that complications can happen with any surgery. However, based on my personal experience, I was deeply disappointed by the communication, bedside manner, follow-up, and level of support I felt I received during and after this medical crisis. In my opinion, the response did not feel as urgent or supportive as I would have expected given the severity of what I was experiencing. Separate from the medical emergency itself, I was also ultimately unhappy with my cosmetic results. I underwent a revision procedure and I paid additional costs for internal pocket revision work intended to improve implant positioning and symmetry. Despite this, I personally felt the final result appeared uneven, including noticeable asymmetry between my breasts. When I raised concerns, I personally did not feel that my concerns were meaningfully addressed or that I was offered a satisfactory path forward. Given both the aesthetic outcome and the severe medical complications that followed, this entire experience was incredibly disappointing and traumatic for me overall. This review reflects solely my personal experience and opinion as a patient.

    THANK YOU DR. NEUSNER!! I am honestly still in shock at how…read moreincredible my breast lift with augmentation results are!!! After being a mom and breastfeeding, my breasts were extremely saggy, deflated, and I had basically zero confidence left in my body. I would avoid certain clothes, zero confidence in the bedroom, feel uncomfortable getting dressed, and just didn't feel like myself anymore. Deciding to get a breast augmentation with lift was a big step for me, but WOW -- it completely changed my life!!!! Dr. Neusner is absolutely AMAZING. Not only is he incredibly skilled and talented, but he's also kind, patient, and truly cares about his patients!! He listened to everything I wanted and somehow gave me results even better than I imagined! My breasts are now full, big, round, and so perky -- I literally can't believe they're mine. They look youthful and beautiful again, and my confidence has skyrocketed!!! I also have to praise the staff because they were just as wonderful. Everyone was so warm, supportive, and professional from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable every step of the way, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Another thing I'm blown away by is how AMAZING my scars healed. I was so nervous about that, but they are minimal and healing beautifully. You can truly tell Dr. Neusner knows exactly what he's doing. The surgery itself went so smoothly, and recovery was easier than I expected. If you're a mom who feels like you lost your body after breastfeeding, I promise you -- Dr. Neusner is the one to trust!!! I went from having saggy breasts and no confidence to feeling confident, feminine, sexy, and happy in my own skin again. I am beyond grateful and would choose him a thousand times over. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!!! Your work is truly amazing!

Please choose under boob scar cause the one I'm left with has me feeling super insecure) So paying 18,000 , I was hoping to really love the results Sadly I had to get surgery twice to remove the horrid scars and to be left still feeling ugly really makes me sad and ugly.. especially in front of my husband and I hate looking in the mirror it legit makes me want to cry.. so I avoid the mirror as much as possible Interaction with dr Barrett are friendly but super quick and I was nervous it was I couldn't get all my questions out in time regarding my healing.. His wife was very kind and Colleen too I felt their interactions to be the most genuine Both times when stitches were removed my skin opened and left huge ugly scars.. I also have a dip in my left boob when I raise my hands idk if that's cause of the thick long scar or the placement... I can't afford to get them done again for a couple years (I'm on a teacher salary sadly) and honestly I'm terrified to try the same surgery a third time Healing was great hardly any pain (beside the skin opening and having to clean the wound) **Idk what's worse my deflated mom of 3 boobs or the lifted ones with dents and giant ugly ribbed scars starting at the nipple down to my ribs I kinda wish I never got them done at all ** And after $20,000 two surgeries and countless visits All they kept saying was results don't always look the way we desired.. Just be careful and explore other lift options and other doctors please I tried to upload pictures but even yelp thinks it's to horrid to post or something.. left feeling helpless alone and defeated

    REVISION RHINOPLASTY 2026 ~…read more I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Rahban. I originally had a rhinoplasty in 2019 with a surgeon I was referred to by my ENT. My initial surgery was to correct a deviated septum, and since I was already going under anesthesia, I decided to do a cosmetic rhinoplasty at the same time. I actually liked my results for a while, but after about two years I started noticing that my nose was shifting laterally to the left. Over time it became very noticeable in photos, and it made me extremely insecure. I found myself avoiding photos altogether. In the beginning of 2026, I started searching for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon. This process was much harder than I expected because many excellent rhinoplasty surgeons do not perform revisions due to the complexity of them, and I quickly learned that revision rhinoplasty requires a very specific level of expertise. I'm currently 28 years old and about to get married in June, so the thought of going through a second surgery honestly made me extremely nervous, especially the idea of not even being 30 yet and having to do it AGAIN. I wanted to make absolutely sure I chose the right surgeon. I had consultations with several surgeons who specialize in revisions, but after my consultation with Dr. Rahban, I immediately knew he was the right doctor for me. During the consultation, he gave me an incredible amount of information and explained things about rhinoplasty that I had never learned even after doing extensive research. His knowledge, transparency, and attention to detail gave me so much confidence. Beyond that, he was kind, relatable, and genuinely understood how I was feeling about my situation. He thoroughly explained what he planned to do during the procedure, which made me feel completely comfortable putting my trust in him. During surgery, we also decided to do a chin augmentation with a chin implant to help balance my facial profile. That decision ended up making such a beautiful difference in my overall facial harmony. My surgery day went incredibly smoothly. Dr. Rahban was so kind and reassuring that morning, and his entire team was wonderful. His anesthesiologist and nurse were amazing!!! I was so nervous going into surgery and they treated me with such care, I'm truly grateful! The whole facility runs so professionally, but at the same time the office staff and team truly make you feel like family. They took such incredible care of me throughout the entire process. What stood out to me most was how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He provides exceptional preoperative and postoperative care information, and you can tell he truly wants his patients to feel comfortable, informed, and happy with their results ~ not just treated like another case. My rhinoplasty results are truly incredible and natural, and I could not be happier that I chose Dr. Rahban. I would recommend him to anyone I know and beyond without hesitation. If you are considering revision rhinoplasty or any of his procedures, I cannot recommend him enough!!!

    Exceptional Experience with Dr. Rady Rahban - Life-Changing Results!…read more Within just 10 minutes of my 90-minute consultation with Dr. Rady Rahban, I knew he was the right plastic surgeon for me. His consultation was incredibly thorough--more in-depth than any other I had before--and he answered every single question I had (even the ones I hadn't thought to ask). Dr. Rahban offered insights and surgical solutions I'd never heard from anyone else. My results are truly amazing. My scar is very thin and placed discretely enough to be hidden, and I experienced minimal pain during recovery. I followed all of Dr. Rahban's post-op instructions exactly, and I can't stress enough how important that is for a successful outcome. His office staff was beyond! So professional, compassionate, and always responsive--every email and phone call was answered quickly and kindly. If you're searching for the best plastic surgeon in Los Angeles or a board-certified plastic surgeon with top-tier results, look no further than Dr. Rahban. I couldn't be happier with my experience--and the outcome speaks for itself. Trust him and trust his process. You won't regret it!

    Many years ago I started following Dr. Cat on social media. I fell in love with her work and the…read morebeautiful results I saw in her patients. I dreamed and hoped I would one day get to have my tummy tuck done by her. A little backstory, I had a huge ugly appendix scar from when I was 8 years old. It was pretty high up and also "caved" in, therefore very hard to hide even with strong compression shapewear. Then after having my son my whole stomach was, in my opinion, a huge ugly disaster. Almost 7 weeks ago, I was finally able to have my tummy tuck done by Dr. Cat, genuinely a dream come true! I had a tummy tuck with a hernia repair, muscle repair, pubic lift and lipo of the pubic mons. I never had any bruising! Only took Tylenol for the pain for a few days. And the swelling was minimal. Recovery has been fantastic. And now my new tummy looks AMAZING! Every morning after my shower I run to the mirror just to take a look at my new flawless tummy and amazing bellybutton. To say that I am over the moon happy with my results is an understatement. As women, we're definitely very hard on ourselves. Our bodies go through so much and it's hard to see a tummy that doesn't feel like it belongs to us. And although, that body has done some amazing things, we deserve to be comfortable in our own skin. I, for the first time in my life (36+years) saw my tummy free of the stretch marks, the extra skin and the scars that have dictated what I could comfortably wear for my entire life. To Dr. Cat and her entire team, Amy, Julie, Emily and Dr. Misra (hernia repair) and Dr. Siegel (anesthesiologist) I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for giving me a confidence I never knew I would have. Thank you for making shopping for clothes fun again! :)

    2.5 years ago, I received a terrible, botched mommy makeover in Miami that left me absolutely…read moredevastated. I was embarrassed to wear a swimsuit and didn't think I could ever be happy in my own skin again. Because this revision was an extremely complicated procedure, I wanted only the very best surgeon on the case. I searched everywhere -- from Miami to New York to Los Angeles -- and finding Dr. Cat was truly a blessing. I was so nervous to trust another doctor after my previous failed procedure, but even from the very first phone call with Emily, just to schedule my consultation, I felt at ease. When I first met Dr. Cat, I immediately noticed her professional yet kind and genuine aura. Since this was a revision, she was straightforward and honest about what she could do to help me. She didn't sugarcoat anything and set realistic expectations and I appreciated that. It left me feeling excited and hopeful for my procedure. After the consultation, I scheduled my surgery with Amy, who was also just amazing throughout my journey! I also want to mention how thorough and holistic Dr. Cat's approach was when preparing for surgery. She looked at every detail -- from reviewing my medical history to recommending therapy and hyperbaric treatments, even sharing calming links to listen to when I felt anxious. Three days before my procedure, I unfortunately came down with a fever and had to reschedule. I called the office on a Sunday -- and Dr. Cat herself answered. When I told her I was sick, her only concern was my health. She told me to focus on getting better and assured me we'd figure out a new date later. That moment spoke volumes. She wasn't worried about rescheduling an entire surgical day that had been planned for months -- she only cared about my well-being. It brought me to tears, and I knew right then that I had found a doctor who truly cared about her patients. The day of my procedure, of course I was a bit anxious, but I have never felt more at ease or safe. Her incredible team was so calming and reassuring throughout the entire pre-surgery process. My revision surgery lasted over eight hours, and when I woke up, I was in little to no pain. I had been skeptical when I heard that most of Dr. Cat's patients only use Tylenol after their procedures, but it was true for me as well. She is so meticulous and gentle, and I could tell the surgery had been performed with such care. At my one-day post-op visit, when I first saw my stomach, I immediately started crying -- tears of absolute joy. There were a lot of happy tears throughout this emotional journey, and I think it's because this time my experience was the complete opposite of my first procedure in Miami. I also want to give a huge thank-you to Amy, Julie, Karen, Dr. Misra, and Dr. Ma for making my pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery experiences run so smoothly. Her team truly feels like a family that wants the best for you. Dr. Cat has given me my confidence back in so many ways, and I am forever grateful!

    I cannot say enough great things about Dr. David E. Kim and his entire team. I recently had a donut…read morelift and breast augmentation with gummy bear implants, and from start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. One of the first things I appreciated was how easy the process was. Scheduling a consultation was simple, and unlike many Beverly Hills surgeons, I didn't have to wait months just to be seen. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt comfortable. The office itself is beautiful, welcoming, and professionally run. Every single person on Dr. Kim's team is wonderful. The staff, patient coordinators, nurses, everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and caring. You can tell a lot about a surgeon by the people they surround themselves with, and Dr. Kim has built an exceptional team. I had wanted Dr. Kim to perform my surgery for a long time, and after my consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Surgery day was smooth and stress-free. Everyone took great care of me and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Kim himself is exactly what you would hope for in a surgeon. He's calm, down to earth, and genuinely approachable. He's not the stereotypical overly cocky Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. He's a man of few words, but whenever I had questions, he always took the time to answer them and make sure I felt informed and comfortable. Now, being one month post op, I can honestly say I am beyond happy with my results. They are exactly what I envisioned. The shape is beautiful, the scars are incredibly seamless, and my recovery has been much easier than I expected. Everything looks natural, balanced, and incredibly well done. Thank you, Dr. Kim, and thank you to your entire staff for making this such a positive experience. I am so grateful for the care I received and absolutely thrilled with my results.

    After spending significant time reviewing publicly available patient reviews, discussion forums,…read moreand before-and-after photos, I personally would not choose this practice for rhinoplasty. A recurring concern raised by dissatisfied reviewers is that many results appear to follow a similar aesthetic style rather than looking highly individualized. Whether someone prefers that look is subjective, but it is a pattern mentioned by multiple reviewers. Among the concerns reported by unhappy patients are excessive projection, tips that appear larger or more prominent than expected, asymmetry, nostril unevenness, crooked or slanted appearance, septal concerns, breathing difficulties, and results that some patients felt did not align with their consultation goals. Some reviewers have also expressed dissatisfaction with revision outcomes and stated that their concerns were not adequately addressed. Another criticism that appears repeatedly involves post-operative communication and follow-up care. Multiple reviewers describe feeling dismissed, unheard, or unsupported when raising concerns about their results. Reading through these experiences, there appears to be a disconnect between the premium image presented by the practice and the experiences reported by some dissatisfied patients. What stood out most to me was the number of complaints centered on communication, accountability, and patient support rather than surgical technique alone. Several reviewers describe feeling that their concerns were explained away rather than fully addressed. Anyone considering this practice should carefully review both positive and negative feedback, examine a large number of before-and-after photos, look for long-term patient updates, and compare multiple surgeons before making a decision. Rhinoplasty is a major financial investment that can affect appearance, breathing, comfort, confidence, recovery time, work obligations, travel costs, and overall quality of life. Taking the time to thoroughly research all available options may help patients make a more informed decision.
