Also, I have sent friends and relatives to her and everyone is pleased with their results. Highly recommended.

As a beginning, I want to be honest about everything that happened to me and share my full…read moreexperience. In January, I had a labiaplasty performed by Dr. Deborah Ekstrom, MD. After the surgery, she prescribed pain medication (Oxycodone HCl IR 5 mg capsules) for five days. During that time, I had severe constipation and had to go to the ER. On March 3, I went back for a follow-up appointment. During that visit, Dr. Ekstrom also injected hyaluronic acid filler into my labia majora, which cost $1,600. Before the procedure, I asked the doctor if there were any negative side effects and how long the results would last. She told me there were no negative side effects and that the results would last a long time. However, the same day I started feeling something hard, like a small stone. The next day I felt itching and noticed redness. Day by day it became worse. The redness increased, the itching continued, and the area started to look uneven -- the left side looked larger than the right. On March 11, I texted the office manager, Jo Cattell. She was very kind and asked if I wanted to come in that day to see the doctor. I said yes. When I saw Dr. Ekstrom, I first showed her pictures of the redness. She said the pictures looked worse than what she was seeing in person. She also said the redness and swelling might be caused by using an ice pack. However, I do not believe this is the cause. After my labiaplasty surgery, I used ice packs and never had this problem. The symptoms started the same day after the filler injection. I also explained that it hurts when I go to the bathroom. I asked if the filler could be removed, but she told me she could not treat the area right now because it looked like an allergic reaction and that further treatment would cost additional money. She prescribed medication for me to pick up at the pharmacy. I am sharing my full experience because I do not want this to happen to another patient. I work hard for my money, and I do not want to waste it on something that made me feel worse. I do like the results of my labiaplasty, but I do not like the filler injection. It looks uneven and has caused discomfort and illness. If a procedure cannot be done safely, it is better to be honest with patients. People trust their doctors, and I was one of those patients. For fairness, I want to mention that the clinic was very clean. The drive time for me was 1 hour and 40 minutes. Also, two weeks after the surgery I initially left a five-star review. My advice to others is not to write a review until you have had the full experience. Finally, I went to the ER again on March 14, 2026 because my labia majora became worse, with severe itching and swelling. I could not sleep because of the discomfort. Thank you for taking the time to read my experience. (bad experience.)

Had an apt with Dr Bayati for next Friday. It's Monday morning now. I just called to cancel and…read morethey're keeping my $100 deposit. They keep it even if you cancel a month ahead of time. They keep it no matter when you cancel or why you cancel. Pretty unethical and reason enough not to reschedule. How money hungry are you that you need to do this? I could understand a 24 hour cancellation policy-or even a 48 hour-but an unlimited one?? Ridiculous and shameful! And yes of course everyone has cancellation policies but not ones that cover limitless time. I cancelled with plenty of time for dr to rebook someone in that spot. So glad I found out what type of office this is before scheduling any procedure. And NO-no one told me at time of booking the $100 was nonrefundable even if you cancelled four days or more ahead of time. To add insult to injury jury they lie in responding to complaint. Lastly I was only offered a chance to reschedule after the yelp complaint. What a joke. Doctor-you write the response as if you are staff referring to "the doctor " in third person. More deceit.

To clarify, I have never smoked and I fully disclosed my medical and psychiatric history. There…read morewere no undisclosed conditions. I attended five postoperative follow-up appointments and raised ongoing concerns about prolonged swelling and healing. During those visits, my symptoms were repeatedly attributed to anxiety despite my continued reports that something did not feel right. The tone of your public response closely reflects the experience I had during those appointments. I would also like to clarify that prior to surgery, I expressed hesitation about the recovery timeline. I was offered surgery within 24 hours of consultation and initially informed that recovery would be approximately 12 days. When I voiced concerns about healing time, I did not feel those concerns were meaningfully addressed. At that stage, my deposit was non-refundable, which left little flexibility to reconsider once additional recovery information was discussed. My healing ultimately extended far beyond the timeframe initially described, and I continue to seek medical evaluation for ongoing symptoms two years later. My review reflects my personal experience regarding communication, recovery expectations, and follow-up care. I encourage prospective patients to take sufficient time to consider elective procedures, thoroughly review recovery timelines, and fully understand refund policies before committing.

Had a great experience with rhinoplasty with Dr. Kieu! I broke my nose due to a workplace accident…read morewhile working as a nurse, caught a punch from a confused patient which caused nasal deviation. We straightened my nose out and sharpened the tip & raised the radix. I chose Dr. Kieu over other surgeons in LA, bay area, and Turkey / Korea as she listened to my goals and gave her recommendations based on my goals. It was a collaborative process spanning multiple discussion sessions on email, video chat, and in person to design a nose that suits me. I'm a very detail oriented person so I loved the opportunity to have these sessions with her professional guidance. My surgery was pretty involved spanning over 4 hours including septal work, turbinate work, valve repair, septal / rib cartilage harvestint n grafting and osteotomies. We went over all the details one more time in the OR and post surgery she checked in with me daily which eased my anxiety a lot. Nose is healing well - do have a lot of swelling since I'm asian, male, and its a revision (prior tip graft 2018). Dr. Kieu have me some steroid shots last week which helped my swelling go down a lot. The supratip fullness went down nicely with those shots. Still have some swelling to go but the nose shape is coming out nicely Breathing a lot better now though and I will update pictures soon! Overall, I'm very glad to have a supportive and caring surgeon like Dr. Kieu.

I had gone in for several consultations locally and in Beverly Hills, and was told that I needed even larger implants along with a lift to make them look right. Then I met Dr. Agha, who is an artist! He did an extensive surgery to give me the smaller breasts I had originally requested 12 years ago. He had to remove quite a bit of skin, along with lifting the breast pockets up where they belong. By pulling up the skin under the breast, it gave me a reverse tummy tuck, which was a huge bonus! In addition to the breast revision, Dr. Agha did an arm lift on both arms. I requested that he remove excess skin from my forearms as well. Both arms look amazing, and you can barely see any scarring after only 8 weeks. If you are looking for very natural looking changes or corrections to your body, I highly recommend Dr. Agha!

My body was ruined, and I have so much regret. I initially left a positive review because I didn't…read morewant them to reach out to me, but I felt it was time I was actually honest. If my words can prevent even one woman from the mental anguish this has brought me then it would be a disservice to remain silent. I had an augmentation with Dr. Bandy a couple years ago and just recently explanted with a different surgeon. I initially chose her because she was the only female surgeon in my area (I did not want a male surgeon) who would give me silicone implants before the required legal age of 22. It was so important to me to look natural and proportionate. I brought in reference photos, and was adamant on 400ccs, yet somehow was convinced to get 700ccs. Nearly double what I wanted. Mind you, I am only 5'3 and 115lbs. I was very unaware that the bra used to try on sizes would make the implants appear smaller, which led to naïvely trusting in the consultant to go bigger. I was then told I needed to size up even further because they would be under the muscle. I was not accurately informed of how the outcome would look and how awful the recovery process would be. There was an all around lack of professionalism, we even had to pay the anesthesiologist under the table. I regretted it immediately and have hated my body for the last two years. I reached out shortly after expressing my regrets and dissatisfaction with the size, but was told I just had temporary buyers remorse and would be fine. I opted not to inform them of my continued dissatisfaction in order to be left alone. I was not fine. I have felt absolutely mutilated and disgusted by my outcome and have been grieving the loss of my natural body ever since. There aren't even words to express the mental anguish that this has brought me. She had to use spacers in order to fit the giant implants into my small frame, which caused significant trauma to my body. Again, the severity of the entire procedure was glossed over and I was reassured by Dr. Bandy and her consultant. But just before the procedure, she said something along the lines of "I don't know if I can fit these in you, but I'll try". I felt the most excruciating pain of my entire life for weeks. One implant bottomed out in less than a year and I had severe animation deformity in both breasts. I also had significant lateral displacement and rippling. I couldn't stand the sight of my body naked or clothed. I felt hideous. I looked extremely disproportionate and suffered all kinds of pain from the 3lb implants. I began to develop breast implant illness within just months of the procedure, which persisted and worsened over time. The only praise I can give is that my scarring was barely detectable. I also had a nipple (not areola) reduction, which she did a good job on. I was finally able to afford an explant with another doctor recently. This surgeon was extremely professional and informative, walking me through every available option and assessing me thoroughly to ensure the best outcome. I decided to only have an explant and muscle repair because I did not want lift scars. She made sure that I was aware of the mental and physical recovery to come, and that I had a support system in place. Her and her team were incredibly caring and empathetic for what happened to me at this practice. By the grace of God, my skin has retracted and my breasts are very similar to what they were before the augmentation. I now bear the explant scars as a reminder that I never needed to permanently alter my beautiful body, especially not in such a brutal and traumatic way as this. If you are wanting a cosmetic procedure, especially a breast augmentation, please research deeply and consult with multiple surgeons. A good surgeon should tell you when something is going to be too traumatic for your body. They will suggest what is proportionate to you and will inform you on everything you need to know. A good surgeon will not upsell you and mutilate you for the sake of money. They will care about your well being and satisfaction. Please, please be diligent in research.
