I had an amazing experience with Dr Brenner and his entire staff! From Maria when you walk in to Dani who handled so many of my questions and concerns. Dr Brenner is highly professional, listened to what I wanted and one month out of my surgery I am utterly thrilled with the results!!! read more

There are so many amazing things I could say about Dr. Brenner, his office, his staff, and his work - I really don't know where to begin. I came to Dr. Brenner more than 4 years ago when I had a history of issues and a very good friend absolutely insist it was tied to my implants. When my implants were recalled and my capsulary contracture had become unbearable I finally decided to put myself first snd get them out. I had consulted many plastic surgeons who all insisted that because I had put on weight since getting the implants, I had to put a new implant in or I would look terrible. They used words like "deformed" "miserable" and "misshapen, driving me to tears feeling almost guilty for insisting I didn't want them. Keep in mind I was also very sick during this time and was told over and over that it wasn't related to the implants. It really made me feel crazy sometimes. By the time I met Dr. Brenner I was absolutely overwhelmed and felt truly exhausted by the fact that no one believed that I needed them out without new ones being put in. I felt so miserable. I finally got to the point that I didn't care what I looked like. I just needed them out of my body. I felt like I was being poisoned, and I didn't know why I felt like this until after the implants were out. At my first consultation, he immediately told me that I did NOT need to put a new implant in, and in fact, said the opposite, that if I did put a new implant in, I would likely have the same reaction physically (he actually believes women when they tell him they, they're not feeling right!) He suggested I could simply take them out and do a lift and see how the next few months went to decide if I wanted to do a fat transfer or anything else if I wasn't happy with the results. This was the exact opposite of the other doctors trying to pile in procedures to make more money. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenner gave me advice that not only didn't make him more money, it took my health and safety into consideration before anything else. I ended up having both implants removed along with a full capsulectomy on both sides. I also had a full breast lift on both sides. My surgery was very complicated for reasons that couldn't have been anticipated, and even with the unforeseen issue inside one implant, my final product looked spectacular almost immediately. Even more importantly, I felt better almost immediately. Over the next months and years, my health has improved immensely and even after losing a tremendous amount of weight (for many reasons including getting my life and energy back thanks to these toxic implants being removed). I have been exercising again, feeling better and I've never needed to go back for the fat transfer as the natural shape he created has easily adjusted to gaining or losing weight beautifully. I cannot thank Dr. Brenner and his team enough - not only for the physical support, but also the emotional and mental support required for making a decision and life change like this. I truly credit them with saving my life and don't know where I'd be if I hadn't come across his office. If you think your implants are making you sick, I would bet that they are making you sick. Please see Dr. Brenner and take care of yourself. I'm so glad that I did. read more

I knew something was wrong within 3 weeks of having a breast augmentation. I couldn't take in a deep breath, I had heart palpitations, my chest was constantly tight/sore after months, sleep apnea and many other symptoms. I cried every night and was so scared for almost a year because my tests came out normal and no doctor could tell me what was wrong. Then I found out I wasn't the only woman to feel these symptoms! I had BII (Breast Implant Illness). The doc that put them in didn't believe me, he tried to make me believe it was in my head. IT WASN'T. He even took them out for me but left in the capsule telling me I didn't need to take them out. After the removal of the implant I felt better, but was still sick. Then I researched online and found Dr. Brenner's office. THEY BELIEVED ME. They had seen it many times before - women sick from their implants and no one believing them! Dr. Brenner and his staff are amazing and caring people. I love that he has a mix of the western medicine that we trust and also a more holistic side at his office. Amanda will hold your hand every step of the way, checking on you before, during and after the procedure for as long as it takes. She'll let you know that you're not alone in this! She went through it herself for years! Laurie - the most amazing anesthesiologist will be there by your side through the operation with her expertise and big heart. She also has gone through BII. Rosey - the best nurse with her kind words and caring soul will calm your nerves and let you know you're in good hands. And Dr. Brenner with his expertise will ensure your confidence that he will do the absolute best job possible. I'm 2 months post op and I'm finally starting to feel like my old self again. I still have some bad days but they are getting farther and farther apart. Getting implants was the worst decision of my life, but I'm so glad there was a doctor to believe me and help me through getting the capsule removed and moving on with my life. I'm very grateful to have met and gotten to know the people at this office. If you have BII symptoms do not hesitate to go to this office, they truly care about their patients. read more

In 9 years, I had 7 surgeries: 6 Breast surgeries between 2007 and 2013 (reconstruction after immediate removal due to multiple complications following breast augmentation) and one diastasis recti & hernia repair surgery in 2016, all performed by supposedly "great surgeons". These surgeries left me traumatized for a long time. Although I knew I needed to fix the bad work, let me tell you, I was done with plastic surgeries. These experiences really took a toll on my emotional, physical and financial health! In 2020, a friend referred me to Dr Brenner after she had a breast explant with him. I quickly scheduled a consultation as I had more and more concerns about my breast... I was really amazed how Dr Brenner took his time to listen, answer and explain. In order to be a true professional, you must have knowledge and heart and Dr Brenner attention and care really helped me lessen my anxiety and remove my fear regarding surgeries. He looked at my belly and started to ask questions... His honesty is also very reinsuring. After a long consultation, I ended up scheduling a surgery to fix my belly - diastasis & hernia repair which seemed more concerning after Dr Brenner carefully looked at both, my breast and belly. I didn't hesitate and scheduled my belly surgery not even 3 weeks later my consultation! See below the before - after! The results were outstanding. I've been in the fitness industry for almost 30 years. I'm also a fitness competitor but I had to give up my dream due to my bad experiences and outcomes with surgeries... Because of Dr Brenner's amazing job, I was able to go back to train and compete, with confidence, and stronger than ever! 11 months later, I rocked the stage, winning the first place overall championship Last week I had a second consultation, this time for my breast. Again, Dr Brenner was beyond attentive and honest. I was decided to not only replace my implants but also get a bigger size. But Dr Brenner really explained to me why it wasn't a good thing to do so because of my past experiences, and why performing a breast lift was actually the best solution to my overall concerns. I must point out an important thing: again, not once I felt pressure to do anything or schedule a surgery asap. I felt like Dr Brenner and his practice coordinator Dani gave me the space and time to "think about it" before making any quick decision. This attitude is very appreciated Overall, my experience since my very first consultation and surgery in December 2020 is beyond positive, Dr Brenner and his staff are very supportive, caring and helpful during the whole process, from consultation to surgery and post surgery!! I've been seeing Dr Brenner many times after my belly surgery to follow up on my healing and every time I felt that he really cared about me getting the best results and experience. This being said, after my consultation last Friday regarding my breast, I'm decided to go ahead with the lift surgery. I know I'm in good hands with Dr Brenner. I'm actually looking forward to it. His professionalism really gives me a sense of peace. I'm very grateful for having found him. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

See all

I had an explant with Dr. Brenner in 2021. He did a good job of removing my capsules and my scars look great. However, I am extremely disappointed and deeply regret going to him for 2 main reasons... First, his bedside manner was actually abhorrent and extremely inappropriate. During my pre-op appt, he pinched my breasts and seemed "disappointed" that I had very little breast tissue to work with in removing my implants. This made me feel quite bad in the moment, but I tried to let it go. Then the morning of my surgery, the anesthesiologist was late and he came into my pre-op room visibly upset and verbally short with me about it. It was very inappropriate and disturbing to be on the receiving end of his anger towards his anesthesiologist right before going under. Second, and this is the main reason ~ the day after my surgery, he told me he repaired my lower left muscle only. After the swelling went down, I could see that my chest was concave and I was originally told that it was because the implants left indentations in my chest wall. Which was true. However, after months of research and physical therapy, I found out that the concavity was also due to the fact that my chest muscles were not repaired properly, with my right side being much worse. When I talked to him about it, he was extremely defensive and told me he repaired both muscles, even though I distinctly remember him telling me he only repaired the lower left side. This was my ONE chance to have normal chest muscles because I have since consulted with 5 other surgeons and they do not recommend opening me back up again because of the risk of losing muscle function. Either he lied to me the next day after my surgery, or he was so careless that he didn't remember what he did the day before. I do not trust that he gave me the care and attention to detail necessary to have a successful muscle repair. I feel completely failed by Dr. Brenner and will now spend the rest of my life with impaired muscle function. I have deep regret ever going to him and do not recommend him as a surgeon at all. read more

I recently had a bilateral explant and capsulectomy with a bilateral full breast lift and am so pleased with the results and my decision to move forward. Dr. Brenner and his team took a holistic and deeply caring approach from the very first appointment when I was still on the fence about whether I wanted to remove my 15-year-old breast implants. I did not have an "urgent reason" to remove my implants (they were not ruptured, and I only had mild BII symptoms); however, I was unhappy with the way I felt and looked. I was constantly trying to cover up my breasts and never felt like I was living my 100% most authentic life. I found myself hiding in my clothes and always struggling internally as my current values no longer represented what I believed "beauty" looked like 15 years ago. I loved that Dr. Brenner not only surrounded himself with a holistic team of nurses and psychotherapists to care for his patients and was very understanding of BII symptoms but that he also NO longer believed in doing breast implant surgery. After seeing the devastating effects of BII, he chose to focus on explant surgery and helping women feel better about their bodies and lives as a result of his choice. Because of his choice to no longer do implant surgery, he is living in alignment with his values and truly practicing what he believes in, one of the many value points that differentiate him from other plastic surgeons. After my first consultation with Dr. Brenner and Mrs. Dani Brenner, I received a complimentary one-hour session to meet with licensed psychotherapist Dr. Amanada Savage Brown, also the author of the book Busting Free. I immediately purchased the book and met with her, and it was THE CATALYST and perspective I needed to move forward and decide to explant NOW, not months or years from now. She made me realize how important it was to feel aligned with my values. There is no wasting time when moving towards living your 1000% most authentic life. She had me visualize a time months from now after I had explanted, and imagine how I would feel. My mind immediately went to the beaches of Italy (in my visualization), wearing a cute swimsuit and feeling in TOTAL alignment with my mind, body, and spirit. No hiding, no covering up. Just me and all-natural beauty. YES, this is how I wanted to feel more than anything! I also learned that eventually, the pain of constantly wondering WHEN and IF my aging implants would rupture or cause capsular contracture was worse than choosing to explant now. I wanted to be free from the worrying and wondering. I also found it empowering to be in control of when and how I wanted to explant rather than being forced into an emergency and scrambling to find a solution. My explanting now, I could choose on my time and with a doctor and team I had FULL confidence in. Dr. Amanda Savage Brown also helped me overcome my fear of scarring by telling me to think of the scars as a pathway to reclaiming my "natural state." I was able to agree with that thought process, and it ultimately helped me feel better about doing the bilateral full breast lift for optimal results despite the additional scarring that would result. Dani also encouraged me to move forward with the full breast lift, and I am truly grateful I decided to do so! The entire nursing and doctor team were super kind and caring on the day of surgery. The process was smooth, and I have been healing ever since! I am now in my 6th-week post surgery and have cute, perky breasts -- BUT more importantly, my confidence is SOARING, and I feel more EMPOWERED than ever before. For me, feeling better and stronger is PRICELESS. I am so happy to be on the other side of this decision. I would strongly encourage all women with aging implants considering explant surgery to consult with Dr. Brenner and Dr. Amanda Savage Brown. They are champions for women and health and are helping others feel and live their most authentic lives. THANK YOU Dr. Brenner, Dani and the entire team!!! read more

Not only is Dr Brenner an excellent surgeon, he is very thorough, considerate and professional. A consummate perfectionist for sure. I came in as a somewhat complicated case having BII, 4 capsules (2 with implants) I'm also 57 years old with 3 sets of implants done over a 23 year period. Have I mentioned how awesome the staff is? To say they are amazing and caring is an understatement. They treated me like family. I could not imagine any other Dr having done my surgery or any other staff attending my needs and caring for me before, during and after my procedures. This practice should be the standard to which others aspire. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Brenner. He was an absolute godsend and an artist in his craft. I (regretfully) had implants done when I was 20, fast forward 9 years later, I wanted them out even before finding out I had a rupture. I went to another surgeon for a consultation and it was such a negative experience I left crying. I was referred to Dr. B from another patient of his and it was the best decision I have ever made. He performed an explant and a lift seamlessly. I could not be happier with the results and working with his whole team. They made me feel like family through the entire process. They took my health, wellness, and needs into consideration on a whole other level. His nurses, anesthesiologist, and after care team are phenomenal. I cannot sing Dr. Brenner's praises enough. read more

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Dr. Kevin Brenner and his staff. From the first second you contact his office - they want to help.  Dr. Brenner was the first doctor I found that truly listens to his patients and recognizes BII is REAL. His breast team is phenomenal. Amanda, his BII liaison, is amazing. She helps prep you for surgery and has all the insights on holistic healing after. His surgical team is beyond. His anesthesiologist, Laurie,  is very experienced and comforting to calm any nerves. I woke up with so much energy and never felt nauseous.  All my BII symptoms were gone overnight, I could not believe it. The entire process was smooth and pain free! So beyond thankful! read more

7/28/2023 Where to begin-- I am so amazed with my results with Dr. Brenner. His attention to detail, concern for his patient's welfare, and skill, are beyond compare! I had saline implants put in under the muscle almost 27 years ago. It's taken me a long time, and so much research, to have finally made the decision to have them out. I had not been experiencing any BII symptoms, per se, but was experiencing neck, shoulder, and back pain due to the weight of the implants. I was extremely fearful that when they were taken out, that I would be left mangled and/or deformed, due to how much time they had been in, wearing my muscles, and body tissue down. Nothing could have been further from the truth. My breasts look better after Dr. Brenner's exemplary skills, than they did when I was a teenager! I feel so fortunate to have found him-Not only are his skills exceptional, but he also has a wonderful bed side manner, jokes, and is a super perfectionist, making sure I was safe and ready to receive the best surgical results, ever! I need to also add that his team; Laurie, Jihan, Rosie, Dani, and Becca were also there for me, every step of the way; Before, during and after. Thank you Dr. Brenner, and team, so much for your exceptional care and skill! When I look in the mirror now, I love what I see (In fact, can't even believe it's Me!). My dear husband, who sometimes can be a little light on the compliments, has also said, wow(!) your b****ts look so beautiful! Which is such a nice cherry on top of the cake! Dr. Brenner, Thank You for your exceptional skills, and for taking such good care of me!!! read more

If you are thinking of having breast explant surgery, Dr Brenner is seriously the only Dr to consider. From the first phone call to make an appt I felt very comfortable and when I met Dr Brenner and saw how thorough and what an artist he seemed like, that was it. I was ready to finally get past all my insecurities and I couldn't get it done soon enough. Everyone on his team was what I called 'the A Team'. So much care from ALL of them. His anesthesiologist called me a few days before and talked to me for a very long time and made me feel beyond comfortable. Then the morning of, the nurse felt like my best friend guiding me in there. This was honestly the best surgery team I have ever had and I can't stress enough the comfort level. I had been through a lot of trauma in my past and was very nervous. Before I knew it, all was done and then it was just about healing. I was still in my head about what I was going to look like so I didn't even look for a few days...And, I was so happy when I finally did,...I looked totally normal....only smaller. All my fears were gone and all I can say now is Dr B is a genius. What an artist. And he really cares about his patients. My surgery was a bilateral explant and capsulelectomies, with bilateral full breast lift. I can't thank him and his entire team enough. juliette s. read more

BII (Breast Implant Illnesses) Patient Today is my 90 days Post Surgery Recovery, and I am feeling fantástica. A month after the Breast Implants Removal, most of the symptoms are disappearing. There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Kevin Brenner and his wonderful team; Amanda, Dani, Dave, Jihan and Rossie. I am delighted with my choice of Dr. Brenner because he is the meaning of ethics and empathy. Dr. Brenner not only answered my questions with honesty. He also rushed the lab tests. He carried out the procedure meticulously. Now, after three months recovery time, I am excited to go back to Dr. Brenner for the next steep. read more

I suffered from a recurring lipoma tumor on my forehead for about 5 years. I had already gone through surgery a total of 3 times! Unfortunately no dermatologist was able to get the entire lipoma out, and the scar tissue looked awful. After a few months, my lipoma would begin to grow back. At this point I was pretty devastated and depressed, and decided to research more and find a plastic surgeon and try one last time - and it was tough to find anyone who specializes in lipoma excision or any reviews of anyone with experience. By this point, my lipoma had grown pretty large, and it must have been hitting some sort of nerve on my face because half of my face would droop and get pins and needles from time to time. I came across Dr. Kevin Brenner, and read a review on a website similar to my issue so I decided to get a consultation. The office staff was kind, and wait time was short. Parking is the only issue I found, but there's a lot a block down & across the street that was a few bucks. Upon meeting Dr Brenner, he assured me he could remove the lipoma, and was confident. I couldn't be happier with the results - I no longer have to hide my face with my hair! Dr Brenner literally saved my face!!! It healed up so well that in fact, I have less of a scar now than before! I have been Lipoma free for about a year now, with no signs whatsoever of it returning. He was also so caring, patient, & professional. I told him I was extremely anxious & he made sure it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. I would 100% recommend Dr Brenner. read more

Dr. Kevin Brenner and his entire staff were incredible to work with. I'd been contemplating an explant for the last year and spent that time researching Doctors for my procedure. I began following Dr. Brenner on social media and was so impressed with his work and knowledge around BII and explant surgeries. After my first consultation with him, I had the absolute confidence I'd chosen the right Doctor. From the day of surgery to the after care to my full recovery, I'd never felt more taken care of and pleased with my decision and final result. His office staff and surgical staff are the absolute best!!! read more

Since I can remember getting a breast reduction has been one of my dreams. Searching for the perfect doctor was a challenge until I met Dr. Brenner. His number one priority is the patients health which makes you feel so important. He walks you through each step and educates you on the process of this journey. Looking in the mirror before my breast reduction was so hard, I hated my breast it was so large for my body. Going from a DDD to a full C has been life changing. I've never felt so confident In my clothing. I truly want to thank Dr. Brenner and his amazing team for taking their time to make sure I'm happy from the consultation to the surgery day and recovery, they were by my side each step. read more

Four months ago I took a leap of faith that has truly changed my life forever. I underwent an Explant, Full Capsulectomy, and Breast Lift with Dr. Kevin Brenner of Beverly Hills, Ca. For the past 5 years after getting my breast implants I watched my health deteriorate in ways I never thought possible. At first I didn't even want to consider that it could be my implants making me sick. I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases that seemed to come out of nowhere. I let countless doctors gaslight me into thinking that it was either due to genetics, stress, depression, and even being a new mom. I woke up every day with stiff joints, muscle pain, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, breast pains, chronic inflammation, & so much more. It was like being at war with my own body. I didn't recognize myself anymore. All of That changed when I met with Dr. Brenner. From my first meeting with him I felt believed, understood, and finally not "crazy." Dr Brenner took over an hour with me just to go over all of my symptoms and fears of explant. I still remember him looking into my eyes and telling me, "It all depends just how sick you are of living like this." I knew what I had to do. On April 6, 2022 I took the first step in taking my life back. Dr. Brenner and his team were there for me every step of the way. Constantly reassuring me that I would be ok and that this was only the beginning of my healing. I never felt alone. Dr. Brenner, Patient Advocate Amanda, Nurse Rosie, and Laurie the Anesthesiologist are my angels forever. I am healing & feeling better more everyday thanks to these amazing people. I am eternally grateful to them for giving me my life back! read more

I recently had an accident and required emergency reconstructive surgery to repair a portion of my lip that had been torn away. Dr. Brenner's office had just opened two days earlier after being closed during quarantine. Given this was an emergency, I had no prior consultation. But after seeing a photo of the injury, Danielle, Dr. Brenner's Surgical Coordinator assured me the Doctor would make the repair. Within two hours I was seen by Dr. Brenner. After an extensive consultation I was in surgery, and 50 minutes later, I could not believe what I saw. My only request was that I would be able to smile again. I never imagined I would walk out of the office looking like I did. I was stunned, in the very best way. The complications of operating during a pandemic were made seamless by Dr. Brenner's staff. Jihan coordinated my intake by email and could not have been more helpful and kind. When I arrived the process of checking in was handled with extreme caution and I felt very safe and well cared for. Dr. Brenner was also remarkably attentive and spent a good deal of time explaining the surgery and what needed to be done to repair my lip. He was calm and very reassuring though careful not to set my expectations too high. In my opinion, he was humble, because the results were nearly flawless! Despite 13 sutures, and the need to repair the muscle and remove additional tissue to realign my lip (creating a lip line where it had been torn away) Dr. Brenner meticulously reconstructed the area and I knew in time, it would be virtually undetectable. My recovery was incredible. Every day I saw improvement. And everything happened just as Dr. Brenner detailed. He covered how to care for and clean the area, how to manage swelling, pain, and my activity, what I could expect from scarring, how and exactly when to start massaging the area to reduce scar tissue, all to ensure the best results. And when I had a question after surgery, Jihan was only too happy to answer. When I thought a suture might be protruding, they had me come in for a look and took care of me right away (incidentally, it was nothing unusual and they even trimmed one of the sutures as it was healing.) I cannot get over the incredible care I received from Dr. Brenner and his team. And the results a month later are astounding. People cannot tell I had surgery and I still have a few sutures inside my lip. It feels great and will only improve over time. I have never had cosmetic surgery. And this was not how I imagined seeing a plastic surgeon for the first time. I can now say, without question, if and when I ever need or want anything done to enhance or repair my features, there is NO ONE else I would go to - Dr. Brenner is it for me. I cannot fully express how miraculous this repair was and how restorative the results are. I can smile! And I look just like me. No glaring scar or deformity. It's extraordinary. What Dr. Brenner did for me was a real blessing. I know that had I gone to the emergency room as I originally planned, and had one of the panel provider surgeons made the repair, I would not have enjoyed the same results that Dr. Brenner was able to achieve. What he does is an art and he really restores people to their best self. I am so grateful and cannot recommend Dr. Brenner highly enough. read more

Dr. Brenner was God sent. I explanted almost 3 months ago. I am so pleased with my results. From the beginning I felt comfortable with Dr. Brenner and his amazing staff. My consultation was almost two hours long. He listened to everything I had to say and I felt so understood by him. I've never experienced such care from any doctors office like I have here. Amanda is amazing! She has been walking with me through this rough journey and is very knowledgeable with BII. Best experience ever. Thank you all so much!!! read more

Dr Brenner and his staff are amazing. If you are looking for a doctor who's patient, kind, knows what he's talking about and has great bedside manner look no further ! I was looking for a doctor who does only explants, no more implants and found Dr Brenner. From the first phone call to all my follow up appointments I have had nothing but amazing experiences with his entire team. . Dr Brenner took so much time my first consultation, I never felt rushed, he listened to all my symptoms of BII, and was just so kind. The entire staff are loving and caring. Clara, Jihan, nurse Rosie, Anesthesiologist Laurie, Dani, Becca, everyone have been there for me every step of the way. I had explant and a lift and am so happy with my results. . My surgery went well,,and i felt some of my symptoms gone immediately as soon as I woke up I could take a deep breath. Thank you Dr Brenner and team for all you do, and your care and concern for all of your patients. read more

Dr. Brenner and his entire team are absolutely incredible!!!! Dr. Brenner is a very talented surgeon, very knowledgeable and has the best bedside manner. He made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Choosing to have Dr. Kevin Brenner as my surgeon was the best decision I could have ever made. I have never felt so confident and I'm so grateful for the amazing job Dr. Brenner had done. Dr. Brenner will always be my go to for all my future aesthetic needs, you will not be disappointed with him... make that consult appointment :) read more

Dr. Brenner and his entire team are the best!! I went to Dr. Brenner for my explant with capsulectomy and full mastopexy in March 2021. I had my breast implants for almost 13 years and truly disliked them for the last 10 due to them increasing a lot in size (later to find out that was due to inflammation). I knew I wanted to have them removed, but wasn't sure when would be the right time. So, one day I decided to look into it a little more and googled breast explant surgeon in LA and Dr. Brenner was the first one that caught my eye. The next day I called to schedule a consultation and spoke with Dani. I had heard about BII before, but wasn't sure how seriously people actually took it until Dani asked if I was having symptoms and if I would like to be connected with Amanda, their explant liaison. I later spoke with Amanda, who made me feel like I wasn't crazy for thinking these implants could be causing issues. Other doctors I went to about these issues said nothing was wrong with my tests so there was nothing to do about it. Again, I still wasn't sure at this point how serious I was about doing this procedure so I didn't schedule a bunch of consultations. I went in to meet with Dr. Brenner and immediately knew I made the right call and that I didn't need to meet with any other surgeons. He acknowledged that BII is a real thing, but he was also realistic in the sense that some symptoms could be age related or do to other issues. I appreciated that he confirmed BII was not made up and also kept my expectations in check. He was very thorough in that appointment and made sure that all my concerns were addressed. Two months later I went in for surgery. Dr. Brenner did a great job of making me feel really comfortable walking into this procedure. The surgery went really well and recovery went a lot better than I had mentally prepared myself for. I was immediately happy with how things were looking and so excited to see how things continued to shape up. I am now 6 months post-op and this may sound dramatic, but life-changing is the best way I could put it. Almost all of my symptoms have resolved and I'm just so happy with the size and look of my breasts now. I didn't realize how much of an impact this surgery would have on me - I'm far more confident in the way they look and I feel more comfortable in my own skin. That's a feeling I didn't think I would ever have again while I had my implants in. Dr. Brenner is an incredible surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone thinking about undergoing any type of plastic surgery. I can't recommend Dr. Brenner and his team enough. They are all just so great to be around that I even joke with them about having separation anxiety in between post-op appointments. Also, special shout out to Jihan - she is so nice and although I had debilitating anxiety about having the drains removed she somehow made that experience quick and slightly less stressful. All-in-all I had a great experience and highly recommend Dr. Brenner and team. read more

I debated to write this review but I decided to because I wanted all you ladies to know who are considering breast explant en bloc capsulotomy and lift surgery to do your homework! I had an appointment with Dr. Brenner and it was not a good one. First of all, I had to wait a half hour in the waiting room before they took me into their room, then I had to wait another half hour before Dr. Brenner showed up. I saw Dr. Brenner who saw me for about 15 maybe 20 minutes at the most. The last 10 minutes was with the coordinator. She gave me her price which was the highest of the 3 well known surgeons I made an appointment with! She mentioned that it was because his office is in Beverly Hills of which I replied the other 2 were in Beverly Hills as well. With that said she made me think maybe I should look outside of Beverly Hills! Ladies I saved close to 10,000 dollars got my breast explant en bloc capsulotomy and lift with an excellent surgeon who also has been on the news/tv and is very well known for explant surgery he has done plenty of them and OMG my results are unbelievable I am so utterly happy with the results. I found this doctor through facebook explant surgery chat group. I am sure Dr. Brenner is good I did my homework but you can find surgeons out there who are just as good but does not come with that high Beverly Hills ticket price! read more

I am beyond grateful to have found Dr. Brenner & his one-of-a-kind Breast Team. I had done countless hours of research and even consulted with other explant surgeons, but didn't feel truly heard and believed until I found Dr. Brenner, Amanda Porta (his BII liaison), Dani, Jihan, Rosie, and every other angel who works with him. This is the only honest, fully-transparent, truly caring, and knowledgeable Explant team in LA. They have made sure I never felt alone in this process and made themselves available to me every step of the way. Believe me when I say they are the only people in this industry who actually know what is going on and are transparent about it. I felt at peace entrusting them with my body and my health and am so relieved that I did. I am so happy to be healing and wish I would've found them sooner! read more

Thank you Layla for being with me every step of the way and answering my million questions. May God bless you! Off to a new chapter in my life:) read more

Dr. Brenner was the 2nd doctor I had consulted for breast explant surgery. I had been on the fence about explanting, but odd symptoms that would come and go never added up to anything. I had immune tests, saw various doctors, but thankfully everything came back normal. After meeting with Dr. Brenner, I made the difficult decision to explant. I am now 3 months post-op and feeling good. Dr. Brenner and his whole team are amazing! They held my hand all the way through. I always felt like I was in good hands! read more

Dr. Brenner and his team are unparalleled. When I decided to finally go through with a long awaited explant and lift, I really did my homework. I was already sure Dr. Brenner was going to be my surgeon before I went in for my initial consultation. Even with all of my research, I seriously underestimated just HOW phenominal Dr. Brenner and his team would be. They provided compete support from the very beginning. Not once did I have the slightest doubt about the procedure itself or who I had chosen to do it. On the day of surgery, every single person I encountered was not only an extremely skilled professional, but just SOOO warm and comforting. That care and support makes a huge difference in your recovery. It dramatically reduces stress and to be quite honest...pain. I can't express the gratitude I have for this entire team. I work in the medical field and while it is not uncommon to find a team with a couple of outstanding individuals, it's highly unusual to find so many exceptional people in one place. Dr. Brenner is literally changing (and saving) lives with this procedure. It sounds trite, but it's so true. He is a perfectionist and an artist. If you're considering having any surgery, you want a highly skilled surgeon who is super invested in a good outcome for his patients. Look no further. If you're considering explant surgery, please... do yourself a favor and start the process now rather than waiting and hoping something else will help you feel better. You only have this one body. It's so important who you trust to care for it. read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! If you are searching please seriously consider stopping right now. Dr. Brenner and his breast team are the BEST hands down. I initially found Dr. Brenner in an article commending his aesthetic eye and how he perfected the "natural" look. I live in NV and I was not pleased with the surgeons in my area. I had saline implants placed in 2012. About 2 years ago, I noticed the shape of my breasts changing and a painful pulling sensation in my armpit area. I didn't really know what I wanted expect that I wanted them taken out given the complications I was having. I found Dr. Brenner's website and filled out a consultation form early April. The next day or so, Dani (practice manager) called me and we discussed available dates for a consultation. We talked for about 30 minutes and she explained some of the items I could discuss with Dr. Brenner during my consult (i.e. explanation with fat transfer). Dani, is like my long-lost best gal friend. She really set the tone for what to expect in Dr. Brenner's practice. I had my consult on June 19, 2020 and I felt so safe coming into his office. Everything was COVID compliant, Dani and Dr. Brenner informed me of all the additional practices they were doing to assure my safety. I HAVE NEVER met a physician who truly listens, explains, and cares more than Dr. Brenner and his team. The consult is usually an hour (which is already better than most plastic surgeons), but he took his time and allowed me to ask additional questions. All in all, I think we spoke close to 2 hours. He informed me that I had capsular contracture on both sides with the right being grade 4. I finally had an answer to the pain I was having. On July 9, 2020 I explanted and opted for a fat transfer from my lower back and abdomen area to restore volume. Since I live out of state, I had a few issues with my COVID results getting to Dr. Brenner's office in time, but his staff (Jihan, Lola, and Dani) worked tirelessly to find alternatives for me. The day before surgery Dr. Brenner and Dave (nurse anesthesiologist) called me to check in and discuss what to expect before the big day. These phone calls really alleviated any anxiety I had about the surgery. Fast-forward to surgery day and it was the easiest most painless process; I was greeted by Rosie the surgery nurse who is literally the epitome of an angel. The operating table was warmed special thanks to Rosie for arriving earlier than my 6:30AM arrival to start the warmers. I told Dave that the feeling of the sleepy medicine usually burns my hand and he was quick to assure me that he would make sure it was painless this time around (which it was!). As Dave and Dr. Brenner worked on my IV, Al (surgical tech) held my hand and Rosie rubbed my head which kept me really relaxed. Dave numbed my hand where the IV was going so I literally felt nothing. As a drifted to sleep, I was told I reached for Rosie's hand (I'm telling ya'll, she is a real-life angel). When I woke up, I had some slight pain in my back area, but nothing too serious. I've been under anesthesia several times for health-related reasons and I ALWAYS wake up crying, screaming, feeling like I can't keep my eyes open...nauseous. I told Dr. Brenner and Dave this beforehand and both smiled at me with a twinkle in their eye telling me that this would be different. I woke up and felt amazing, no crying, no screaming, nothing but CALMNESS. Rosie made sure that my husband understood the discharge orders and how to care for me for the next few days. Dave called me later that night to check on me. I felt amazing, I was tired, but comfortable. I was able to move around unassisted the next day after surgery with 0 pain. I had the best team of professionals caring for me. The entire recovery period I have felt minimal pain. Possibly a 2/10, maybe once or twice if I moved a weird way or something. When I initially had my breast implants placed, I could barely move and wasn't able to get up unassisted until a month or so. I'm coming up on 2 months post-op and I feel incredible! Dr. Brenner is a plastic surgeon Michelangelo. My breasts look 1000x better than before. I remember the day after surgery when the bandages came off, I looked in the mirror and said, "they look so real;" which Dr. Brenner and Jihan replied "because they are real." For the first time ever when I look in the mirror and I like what I see. Dr. Brenner has perfected the natural look. Special shout out to Dr. Brenner's breast explant liaison who has helped me adjust to life post breast implants. I feel so thankful and lucky to be connected to a community of women who share a similar path. If you are still considering who your surgeon is please stop and at least schedule a consultation with Dr. Brenner. Dani, is so helpful and knowledgeable she will take great care of you and when you arrive Lola and Jihan will be there to support you too! read more

Best decision I have ever made to have Dr. Brenner do my explant! I am flat chested and I had saline implants put in under the muscle when I was 25 to make it a B cup. They were too big and stiff so 7 years later I had new ones put in and they were softer and smaller. However, they still never felt or looked natural so I always worried that people could tell they were fake. Fast forward I am 50 years old now and am really tired of carrying them in my body. Searching for a surgeon I can trust was no easy task. This is not the type of surgery I could ask around to get a referral without revealing about my implants. I did lots of online research on the surgeons' credentials, watched their videos and read the reviews. I narrowed down to three that I was going to have consultation with. However, I made my decision after having my first consultation with Dr. Brenner because he made me feel I can trust him. He listened to what I wanted to achieve, explained all the options best suitable for me, and did not push me to choose one way or another. Coordinator Dani also explained more after the consultation because I couldn't decide whether to take out the capsule or not. I ended up taking out the capsule to avoid the possibility of cancer and I am glad I did because some people had to go back for a 2nd surgery because the capsules were making them sick. One thing I was really worried about was how my breasts will look after explant since my skin and muscle were streched out by the implants for 25 years. And I can tell you Dr. Brenner did a fantastic job. They pretty much went back to how they used to look before the implants. Dr. Brenner also has a fantastic team - Dani, Clara, Jihan were always there to answer questions whenever I call. Amanda was one of Dr. Brenner's explant patients before she started advocating. She was always checking on me to see if I have any questions and giving me good tips. What could be more assuring than talking to someone who went to the same surgeon and had good results? Laurie was my anesthesiologist. She is so friendly and confident and she made me feel very safe under her care. Yoko was the nurse on the day of the surgery and she was so happy and friendly. She sure calmed my nerves before the surgery. I really felt I could trust Dr. Brenner and his team. The surgery was successful and the recovery was a piece of cake. I took the meds and had no pain at all. I went right back to work after the drains were taken out. I was very blessed that I found Dr. Brenner. Thank you Dr. Brenner!! read more

I had BII and Dr. Brenner and his whole team truly helped alleviate so many of my concerns prior to surgery. He answered all my questions and truly took his time to listen. I had an explant with capsulectomy with a lift. My breast look great! He did an amazing job and the best part is, I'm feeling much better. Dr. Brenner is excellent! His staff is excellent! Everyone on the team is wonderful! I'm so appreciative and thankful for them! read more

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful words for Dr. Brenner and his entire staff! Dr. Brenner's work is perfection. In fact, the entire process cannot be rivaled. From consultation to surgery, the experience has been the best experience. Having worked in operating rooms myself, I can tell you that Dr. Brenner's OR staff is top notch! Their care was impeccable. The results of my surgery are outstanding, even less than 24 hours later. My pain was so controlled from the beginning, that I haven't even needed much in the way of pain medication. I was able to resume my 3-4 mile daily walk within days of my surgery. Not only will I be using Dr. Brenner or all of my future cosmetic surgeries.... but I'm already referring potential patients to him! read more

I cannot put into words how amazing my experience with Dr.Brenner and his staff was. I explanted August 30th 2021.  I had BII symptoms for 2 years but I continued to ignore them after seeing multiple doctors and my blood work was impeccable; etc. After talking with Sarah and Amanda the BII liaison they told me this is real. I saw 6 Cosmetic Surgeon's and two didn't believe BII was real. Dr. B was the first doctor I saw and the one I chose 7 months later. I'm 11 weeks post surgery and they saved my life. Not only am I feeling so much better but I'll forever be grateful. I'm not going to lie, I never had boobs before so I'm adjusting to my new body again. But Dr. B did an incredible job. Such an amazing  team. I talk to Amanda everyday still and I cannot be more grateful! Love you all and thank you for everything! read more

I debated for quite some time whether or not I wanted to even bother writing a review, but after months of consideration I decided to. I drove from Palm Springs to see Dr.Brenner based on all of these raving reviews. I received a call asking for me to come in an hour ahead of my scheduled appointment. They were aware that I was driving several hours to make this appointment and luckily I left early enough to accommodate this request for them. After arriving an hour early per their request I waited almost 2 hours to get into a consult room. I scheduled and paid for what I thought would be a 2 hour consult like others stated they had with Dr.Brenner and instead I saw Dr.Brenner for a total of seven minutes. That's right SEVEN minutes. I was there for well over three hours by the time I left and that's all the time I was given with the doctor. This was after paying $250 for my consult that I was told would be informative and hours long. After this his nurse then brought me into a small room and slapped an outrageously priced bill in front of me and was extremely pushy that I schedule the surgery ASAP. I said why would I pay this absurd amount to see a surgeon who didn't take any time to see me or even act like he cared? Could I have paid cash right then and paid for the surgery that day? Sure. However this would be my first ever surgery and I was not at all comfortable after my seven minute $250 consult. read more
