I had a competent surgeon perform facial surgery on me several years ago, and although it looked…read moregreat for about 5 years, 5 years and tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket is not a lot of bang for the buck. So recently when I decided on rhinoplasty and various facial nips and tucks, I did a considerable amount of research. I learned that despite being a common procedure, rhinoplasty is incredibly complex. Although any plastic surgeon might attempt it, it soon became clear to me that only a double board certified facial plastic surgeon has the education to perform a reliable rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, lip lift, or really most any facial procedure.  Narrowing my search to SF Bay Area double board certified plastic surgeons, I started reading reviews and comparing CVs. I checked state board records, Reddit, Yelp, Google Reviews, HealthGrades, etc etc.  Of all the CVs I examined, Dr. Matthew Tamplen's was the most impressive by a large margin. From his GPA and his awards to his prestigious fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Tamplen's background was not just impeccable, it reflected an unmatched depth of training and talent. Reading his online reviews further impressed me.  I did consult with several Bay Area facial plastic surgeons, and found all but one to be knowledgeable. Upon meeting Dr. Tamplen, I found him relaxed, confident, and professional but still congenial.  I settled on him to do my procedures and couldn't be happier.  Every procedure Dr. Tamplen did was simply perfect.  I'm not sure what more I can say about the results. His education and experience are reflected in my outcome.  Scars are minimal, and I look naturally refreshed. My nose is refined and subtly shaped. Despite my husband's oft repeated fears, it's not "a Michael Jackson look," and even he is impressed.  The intensive research really paid off. I found the best double board certified facial plastic surgeon in the bay area, and probably the country.  I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tamplen.

In July of 2022 at age 65 I retired and my entire life I wanted a beautiful straight, symmetrical…read morenostrils, less bulbose tip of my nose and a less wide nose. First Time: After three consults with different surgeons in the Scottsdale, Az area I chose Dr. Tamplen. Paid him his 14k for the Rhino. He and his team were great, but the first Rhino was very botched. Not straight, crooked column, assymetrical wierd nostrils. Second try: To try and fix the my crooked nose he performed an "in the office" alar procedure to try to make my nose straight. Nose was still messed up looking. Third Try: Dr. Tamplen actually took me back in to surgery of where I was excited to think maybe he would take all avenues that many cosmetic surgeons take to make a nose straight. There are many techniques a surgeon can do to construct a straight symmetrical nose. Again, to my sadness, my nose was still crooked. I still looked deformed. Fourth Try: In February 2026 I scheduled the fourth time, but cancelled and rescheduled for April 3, 2026. I spent money to fly to AZ waiting for the day to come. About a few days before the procedure, an office lady called me and told me I needed to pay $ 2,500 for the surgery time. I was so surprised because all along all Dr. Tamplen and his staff would say " all we want you to be happy with the outcome so we will do whatever it takes." I was very upset about this because my sister had her facelift revised by Dr. Tamplen, for free of charge. The office lady said, well we have done a lot for you and your sister. I told her well I am a different patient and why can't he perform my revision free? I got so upset that I said to forget it and never tried a fourth time. You will see in the pictures how crooked and messed up my nose it. I don't even want to look at a person straight on. My advice is to ask the surgeon what he is actually go to to perform a Rhinoplasty. Ask if he is going to take part of the rib, or other grafts to do a perfect job. I always wonder how do accident victims get their faces fixed so nicely after scars and more? He kept blaming my crooked nose on a scar below my nostril. My nose looked better before I had Rhinoplasty. Also just because a surgeon is top notch in their class does not mean they have "artistic" ability. If anyone knows of a great Rhinoplasty surgeon, email me at juli1956@yahoo.com. I am 70 now but still would like a straight narrow, symmetrical nose for my last 10-20 years of life. I picked the wrong surgeon, although he was very kind but I think he did the minimum when performing procedures, so find out first exactly what they are going to use and do to make it right. Thank you.

I couldn't be happier with my experience and results. Dr Parhiscar is incredibly talented, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients. From the beginning, I felt listened to, cared for, and confident that I was in the best hands. He even took the time to draw me pictures of the procedure before and after surgery because he knew I had lots of questions and concerns. He has an incredible eye for detail and created a result that looks beautiful and natural while still feeling like me. I'm so grateful for the care, expertise, and artistry he put into my surgery. My results have exceeded my expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty. You will feel at ease from the moment you meet Dr Parhiscar, I truly trusted him from day one of my journey. I would also like to compliment Kris who works in the office with the doctor. She is so very thorough with the surgery planning process and walked me through everything step by step. She is very kind and caring and compassionate and is a wonderful asset to this practice. Thank you for giving me results I absolutely love and an experience I will always be grateful for!

I couldn't be happier that I kept searching for the right surgeon for me…read more Years ago, I had my original surgery with Dr. Prescott (at the same clinic Dr. Eberlin now leads). From consultation to post-op care, I had zero complaints. Fast forward 18 years - my results were still amazing with no issues at all. I simply decided I wanted to switch from saline to silicone. I was sad to hear Dr. Prescott had retired, so I consulted with two other surgeons - one of whom came highly recommended in Folsom. Unfortunately, I didn't feel confident moving forward. Both told me they would need to create a new incision under my breast for the implant exchange. I asked why we couldn't go through my original incision (which is barely visible along my lower areola line), and they said reopening it wasn't a good idea and wasn't even an option. When I met Dr. Eberlin, everything changed. I was immediately relieved when I asked where the new incision would need to be, and without hesitation he said we could use my existing incision. He explained that I had healed beautifully and that areolar incisions are known to heal very well and offer natural camouflage compared to the 3-4 inch incisions that some surgeons still make under the breast. He also uses the Keller Funnel technique, something many top surgeons use - which allows for a "no-touch" implant placement. This reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and, in my case, allowed him to go through my original incision. That was incredibly important to me. If you're considering this procedure, I would highly recommend watching videos on how the Keller Funnel works. Unless you are choosing extremely large implants, in my opinion it's a much better approach than creating a larger incision under the breast. From the moment I left my consultation, I knew I would proceed with him. I never felt pressured or rushed. It felt like a thoughtful, genuine conversation. He gave his professional opinion when I asked, but ultimately empowered me to decide on the size and approach that felt right for me. On surgery day, he came in to speak with me beforehand and made sure I felt completely comfortable. Again, no rushing - just calm, confident care. Beyond his technical skill, he is simply a kind and caring human being. You can tell he truly loves what he does and is passionate about his work. I am beyond happy and so grateful I found him. If you are considering plastic surgery, I would recommend Dr. Eberlin without hesitation.

Dr Persons is very friendly and caring. She did a bilateral breast lift and implants on me in…read more2021in her office operating room under sedation. I immediately had issues. The scar on the right side got infected and was draining pus. Antibiotics healed the infection but a large keloid scar developed. Also the stitches around both areolas were poking through the skin in places resulting in red dots around the areolas. The left breast also developed keloids. I've had surgery before and never developed keloids on my skin. Within a year an encapsulation, which is scarring around the implant from a bacterial infection, developed around the left implant. This made my left breast hard and painful. Dr Persons recommended a 'closed capsulotomy' which entailed pressing the implant very firmly between her hands and squeezing until the capsule breaks. There was a VERY LOUD popping sound which made me exclaim WOW! It was so loud I looked at her to see if that was normal or expected. She just smiled. She prescribed a medication to help prevent the scarring around the implant from re-forming. That breast stayed soft for about a month then became hard again. Over the next year I returned several times to get this issue resolved. My breast was getting harder and more painful. She was never able to get the capsule reduced again but kept prescribing the same medication. At one point she had her assistant pushing hard on her elbows for extra force as she applied pressure to my breast. When that didn't work she suggested I come back when her boyfriend (a physical therapist) was available! (WTF?) I asked alternatives. The alternative was surgery. There was no way I was going to have her redo this botched surgery, so I started researching options. I requested my records for the surgeon I chose. I couldn't believe what the records said. The last visit Dr Persons wrote 'breasts look great." Unbelievable, the breast was deformed and hard! The right breast had escaped its "pouch" and was drooping toward the right. The new surgeon replaced my implants, she had to lift the breasts more because they weren't in the right place.The right implant was too far to the right and she had to fix the pocket. The left breast was a mess: the left implant was ruptured! There was silicone scarred into my muscles. Parts of the muscles had to be removed to get the silicone out. Since my breasts never had any impact other than the squeezing from Dr Persons I'm certain she ruptured the left implant when she squeezed my breast so hard when there was that loud pop. I'm all healed now, looking great without deformed breasts, keloids, or red marks around my areolas. The breasts are where they should be, symmetrical and soft. My recommendation for Dr Persons-stay away! PS: years ago I had laser hair removal in the surgical room 2 or 3 times when other rooms weren't available. People shouldn't walk in off the street and have procedures in an operating room -those rooms are supposed to be sterile!

I chose Dr Mele because based on his website gallery he specializes in BA revisions. I had capsular…read morecontracture and felt confidence in his work since his website advertise in many revisions. I wanted to go smaller in size and the result came out decent. Definitely room for improvement; but my CC was so severe that my expectations were so low since I felt like anything would be better than the complications I was currently dealing with at that time. About 2 years later my CC came back again and decided I needed another revision and to go smaller again. I wanted to stick with Dr Mele since he already performed on me. And I was hoping he would have some sympathy and compassion for the stress/frustration I was going through. I was wrong. If anything he charged me over 2k more than the original price. I asked why it was more and he said "due to inflation". With that being said; this time around I was sure to be more specifics. Giving details, inspirational pictures and even photos from HIS website. Long story short, after surgery I can already tell something was wrong. They were completely uneven. One of my pocket is higher than the other side which causes them to be lopsided. Almost worse than pre-op. I didnt want to raise concern until after my healing. As weeks pass, I can see it was getting more and more uneven. I addressed it to Dr Mele and he agreed that the pocket is uneven. One side is completely different result from the other. ANOTHER revision is needed to fix his work. I then received a quote that was almost the same cost but instead I was gaslight claiming he is giving me a $2k discount from a marked up revision quote. Another $7 for a revision to fix his revision. I asked for details of what he previously did on the revision because I cannot understand why I would be charge for another pocket revision when he just performed a revision last month! They have not responded to my email along with refusing to send me pre/post op pictures from the last surgery. Dr Mele does not care about his work, results or what the patient is going through. He will act like he cares during consultation and will talk your ears off about non related surgery topics. So keep in mind that if you need a revision, even if he is responsible for it, you will be charged every single time. If not more. He will not have compassion for what his patients go through. Imagine paying over $10k for a revision and a month later you are hit with another $7 to fix the revision.
