    Lip flip! Amazing alternative to lip filler if you're too scared to fill them in!
    Araceli P.

    I'm soooo happy! I went in to get Botox and left with a lip flip as well! I had never even heard of a lip flip but it was quick and painless. The staff was so nice and everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful. I can be extremely picky and indecisive but Rebecca was very patient with me and educated me on what would fit me best, I feel 21 again hahaha. Love this place I will be back for my under eyes.

    Very clean and organized!

    Wow what an amazing experience! The staff is absolutely amazing and just so welcoming. I felt extremely comfortable the second I walked through the doors . The receptionist Calista up front was honestly one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. This was my first time so my anxiety should have been through the roof and it wasn't thanks to the amazing customer service. My nurse Kristen was so honest and genuine from the very beginning. I fully enjoyed my experience, so much that I made another appointment. Thank you so much for this experience. Happy New year !

    I got my botox done here a few months ago. It was my first time at this med spa and I was so impressed with how clean and nice everything was inside! The nurse Rebecca is super experienced so I trusted her with the procedure. She also is so friendly and made the experience a positive one. I was also extremely happy with my results! I highly recommend this place!

    Example of the filler put in the fine lines around my mouth and the kiss filler in my lips .

    Do not go, do not believe this will be a painless surgery. They take your money and do not disclose…read morethe hip to hip, jagged, ugly scar. Go to a plastic surgeon with good reviews or recommended by a friend. My experience was the worst. During the lipo on abs and back you are wide awake and the pain was excruciating. It felt like a hot poker. Afterwards they cover the huge 18" scar with Kotex pads and send you home. My scar became infected and I had many painful treatments afterwards. The lipo on upper back was a huge mistake. They take the fat out and leave you with two saggy folds of skin up top. Obviously if they had been honest about the huge, jagged, scar, the saggy back skin, the torturous pain during the procedure I would never have signed up. It took two months to recover from this, the first month dealt with painful, scary infection. I would give them a - score if Yelp allowed it.

    If I could give this a negative review I would…read more I had surgery in February 2017 or 2018....to be honest I don't remember the year. Thought, from the commercial it would be an easy process with little downtime....long story short they convinced me to do a mommy makeover. The day of surgery I stayed in a hotel over night near there as I had follow up the next day. My bed looked like a crime scene I bled out so much. Within a week, I had an infection so bad the doctor told me to put a Kotex with bleach in the incision, which was the worst pain ever. He then had me start going to his Culver Ciry office, since it was closer to me and it was dirty and gross. Thankfully it was just for follow up. In 2023, I noticed leaking from my belly button on occasion but so minimal I didn't think too much about it. It would happen in rare occasions. Now fast forward to 2025, my belly button started really leaking and it smelled horrible. Went to my doctors, had to go through ultrasounds, ct scans, blood work....nothing. My belly would swell on occasion as big as someone who was 7 mi the pregnant. Finally they had me just walk in while leaking and swabbed it. It was an infection. They recommended seeing a plastic surgeon since they deduced it may have been from my plastic surgery. I called Sono Bello in San Diego thinking they would be able to at least see me. They had no record of my surgery and wouldn't help me at all. I finally went to a plastic surgeon I was familiar with in Claremont. Here we are in 2026 and I just had surgery yesterday to remove infected sutures in my belly button. The infection had gotten so bad the hole in my belly button was the size of an eraser head. Sono Bello was nice as could be when taking my money but the fact they had no record of my surgery or refused to even try to help was appalling. Do NOT fall for the scam, you get what you pay for and investing in your body and health is worth more.

The procedure and the recovery were a breeze. I came to him for a neck lift and I will be back to him for my next procedure! It's been a few months and I am very happy with the results. He didn't make big incisions and remove a bunch of skin like all the other doctors wanted to do, and he was more affordable! Great guy, great surgeon!

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

    The Problem: I am a former D1 athlete & National Boxing Champion who used to spend a lot of time in…read morethe gym. Then sports ended, life picked up, and injuries happened. I still considered myself fit, but I did not have the body that I was once proud of. There were sticky areas that I needed to address. I understood that I was not going to be able to spend 3 hours in the gym, but I did have time to maintain - if only I could just first address a few spot areas of stubborn fat that had accumulated over the years and have them magically disappear. The Solution: I saw an ad for Dr. Freeze on YouTube, and it seemed like a great bio-hacking solution to jumpstart my newly inspired fitness journey. I was compelled to CoolSculpting because it is a non-invasive approach to reducing unwanted bulges of fat. There is no surgery, no anesthesia, NO DOWNTIME, and the procedure takes only 35 min. It is a more natural approach to physique enhancement than surgical procedures like liposuction. I decided to give it a try and target some sticky areas that I wanted to focus on. After the procedure I was encouraged to get back into the gym more often, watch my diet, and give my fitness reboot the competitive edge with CoolSculpting. I chose Dr. Freeze because I am calculated and value relationships. With their expert knowledge of CoolSculpting & excellent reputation I trusted Dr. Freeze. During my first consult the team at Dr. Freeze made me feel extremely comfortable. It was a cooling low-pressure environment where the focus was on consumer education rather than sales. I was honored to meet the medical director, Dr. Haque, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the science behind Coolsculpting and even more excited for my body's transformation. When you are talking about your own body fat I am sure I am not alone in feeling both embarrassed and insecure. Dr. Haque's professionalism and humorous personality made an unpleasant discussion exciting and encouraging. He showed me how the procedure could potentially enhance my physique from different angles. At the end of the consultation I knew my research had paid off and was working with the best experts in the industry. I chose the Hercules Chest packages because my top priority was a more defined chest line. I have a larger chest, but I wanted to have the steepness that you see with some male models where they have a very defined and chiseled chest. I also selected the "Flabs" package which targeted my lower abs and love handles. These treatments started a little bit behind my flanks and contoured around to the front lower part of my stomach. All Dr. Freeze technicians are trained in Cryo Contouring and were able to carefully angle the treatments to give me more natural enhancing definition. It was actually quite fun; it was like working with a personal artist for my body who showed me how to sculpt my body differently by applying the applicator at different angels before picking my desired approach! At 3 weeks I started to notice a definite change in my physique. I used to box competitively, and swimsuits that I used to wear during my "Fight Seasons" were now fitting me comfortably again! At 12 weeks I was fitting into suites and pants that I did not think I would be able to wear again and everyone was asking me about my fitness journey in the hopes of having similar success. I am ecstatic with the results. Throughout the two cycles of treatments the gyms were closed due to COVID and I had surgery in which I was unable to walk for over a month. Despite all of these setbacks I continued to thin out in the treated areas, the results have been maintained, and the minimal time spent in the gym is producing great results. I'm more comfortable in taking my shirt off and am very proud of my chest midline. For anyone who is interested in fitness or improving body image, Dr. Freeze is the solution. Coolsculpting is great approach to fat reduction that works wonders for your physique and your confidence.

Recovery time and healing was fast due to the great job he did on the surgery. - thank you Dr G and Eva, this review has been way past due ! Surgery was in august 2020.
