I would not recommend this office. I was young and trusted the doctor when SmartLipo for my neck was recommended, not fully understanding what it involved. The procedure was done while I was awake with only numbing injections, which was very painful and not something I was prepared for. I was told it would help tighten my neck, but my results were extremely disappointing and, years later, I'm still unhappy. My lower face appears uneven, and the entire experience has had a long-term impact on my confidence. If you're considering this procedure, please do thorough research and make sure you fully understand your options before moving forward. read more

See all

Dr. O'Toole and his staff consistently do an excellent job of making their patients feel comfortable, heard, and confident about choosing Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery. I've been going to him for over a year and I have yet to be disappointed. read more

I couldn't be happier than share my experiences with Adam. He has been nothing less than professional and talented in his craft!!! I had complications and he assured me that everything would be fine. I had to get a scar revision which was included with his CUstimer satisfaction guarantee. Make a appointment to see Adam you won't retrete it!! read more

Everyone in this office CARES! I had a lipo,tummy tuck, and muscle repair. I am extremely pleased with my results. From the consultation to the follow up visits, the entire team talked to me and treated me like family. I honestly don't even think they realize that every time I left, I was WOW'ed by them. I encourage people to read their info on their website, although, it's just an ounce of their excellence. Highly recommend : ) read more

Dr. O'Toole exceeded my expectations with my implant replacement surgery. He took the time in our initial consultation to go over my procedure options and help me decide the best route to go. I felt very comfortable with him from the beginning and had a lot of trust in his knowledge. The day of surgery could not of gone more smoothly. I was very lucky to have chosen Dr. O'Toole because as I was in surgery he found my old implants to be completely overfilled from my previous doctor, and a lot larger then the size I thought they were. With that being said he made the best decision with having multiple implant sizes available in case this scenario happened, and choosing the best size for me from the many conversations we had prior to the surgery. I am now a little over a month after my surgery and LOVE my results. I could not compliment him and his staff enough. Thank you ! read more

Absolutely love Dr Otoole! He is honest and professional. Takes his time explaining the process of whatever surgery he is gonna do, with great detail. I've now refered about 5 of my personal friends to him and they have all had great experiences. I'm now going on my second surgery with him and I couldn't feel any more calm and happy I have him working on me once again. His consultations are free and worth the time. He is a gem in Pasadena. read more

Dr. Martin O'Toole is excellent at what he does, and he is an excellent listener. He did my upper eyelids - the work is subtle and exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with the work and it was priced reasonably. read more

I recently had facelift surgery the last week of September 2020. I did my research and read ton of reviews on local board certified surgeons in the area, prior to my consultation with Dr. O'Toole. After meeting with Dr. O'Toole I felt very comfortable and assured I made the right choice in trusting him with my procedure. Upon my second consultation, I prepared a list of questions and concerns as the Dr. was patient with me and answered every detail. I am very pleased with the results of the surgery and glad I made the right decision. The office staff is very pleasant, warm and friendly. I highly recommend this office and services. read more

Had an amazing experience at Dr. O' Toole office. 1 year ago I came in the office with three keloids, and today I came out with none. The best part about this experience was Dr. O' Toole's thoughtfulness for his patients. Even after the initial procedure and injections Dr.O' Toole offered to give me injections until the keloids were gone free of charge. If your looking for cosmetic surgery this is the place the go. Dr. O' Toole and his staff are highly professional and will take care you all for a reasonable price. read more

Dr. O'Toole is the BEST. He is warm, patient and amazing. He is a genius at what he does. I had a neck lift and couldn't be happier with the results. I would recommend him to anyone. The staff is very friendly as well. My appointments were always on time. Santa read more

Dr O'Toole is as good as it gets. I got laser lipo in 2016 for my saddlebags and he was excellent. My legs look amazing and my scars are not visible. What I love about him is he really cares about procedures looking NATURAL. There aren't many plastic surgeons that really care about that these days, just seeking $$ from whomever. I'm a thin girl and he said he wouldn't operate unless he truly thought there was something to be fixed (and my genes showed there sure was haha!). When I have a baby (next year hopefully!) I will absolutely be returning to him for a "mommy makeover". He's really incredible. read more

Dr. Martin O'Toole is amazing! My tummy is beautiful. I've referred several friends to him and they love him as well. He is honest and explains things thoroughly. read more

Ruined my looks. I used to have big, beautiful eyes. Now they are two different shapes and they don't close all the way, WTF! I have to use natural tears several times a day and sleep with an eye mask to keep my eyes from watering all night and to keep the light out. I went in for under eye bags, which were removed fine, but the upper eyelids were butchered. I don't look like my old self at all. I have cried at least once a week since my surgery a little over a year ago. I was hoping to improve my self confidence and now I am completely depressed. I wish I had never done this procedure. read more

I've lost 83lbs and needed some major skin removal surgery. I researched and interviewed 5 surgeons in the SoCal area including Beverly Hills, and OC. I chose Dr. O'Toole not only for his expertise and price, but for his kindness, and his staff. Here's what I've had done: First big procedure (8 hrs) 2013 Body lift Brachioplasty 5 months later in 2014 Lower face lift and neck lift to remove all the jowls and saggy turkey neck 9 months later Breast lift with reduction and medial thighplasty Body By O'Toole. And I'm eternally grateful to this master artist who made my body look normal. Being morbidly obese for most of my life, normal feels AMAZING!!! Thank you Nadia!! Thank you Sarah!! Thank you Dr. O'Toole !! read more

I highly recommend board certified plastic surgeon Dr Martin O'Toole, as he far exceeds excellence-- he's the best of surgeons in terms of expert skill, dedicated care and first class staff. A real Miracle Worker. When I began looking for a board approved surgeon for breast reduction and full abdominoplasty, I consulted other practices, read everything on the web, yet was most impressed by Dr O'Toole's office and web site ( http://www.pasadenacosmeticsurgery.com -- loaded with details and photographs), so phoned and was scheduled a consultation within a month. The $50 fee for an hour long consult did not put me off as any visit with a doctor generally costs $100. I was also pleased with being scheduled for a consult near the date of my inquiry, and most appreciative of nurse, Nadia, for her warm tone and professionalism with explaining all to expect. The first visit was met on schedule. I was impressed by the attractive decor, free coffee and treats in the waiting room, but as I lost 100 pounds by dieting, I passed on the sweets. I also attended the consult with my child as it was during mid-day when I could not find childcare, but this did not inconvenience anyone. In fact, I was told by Dr O'Toole he can relate as he's a father of five, so his practice is accommodating to mothers. The first consult encouraged me to move forward on two major procedures. One of which, I was happy to learn would be fully covered by insurance (breast reduction). As I lost 100 pounds after pregnancy and had difficulty regaining muscle tone in my abdomen since a c-section severed my abs, Dr O'Toole informed me that he would be able to reattach my muscles and restore mobility-- an extra bonus! Two months after consult, I checked into the neighboring surgery center that shares a parking lot with Dr O'Toole's building, so it was easy to find as I had been there before. My surgery prep began with mild distress as I have allergies to perfume and a surgical prep nurse was wearing perfume so set off my histamines, but when word reached Dr O'Toole, he was on the game and ordered his attending anesthesiologist to administer nasal sprays and medicine to get my system back in control so we could move forward. We were able to do so on schedule. Dr O'Toole prepped me for surgery by marking my skin where he would make his incisions. As my breast size was off the charts, too large for bras and nursed on for many years, we discussed once more my preferred size. He suggested I go with a C-cup but I wondered if he might be able to go down to a B, and was more than pleased when he said he could. It was like an answer to a long awaited for dream! I'd have youthful breasts again. I don't remember much of the surgery other than how I was nervous beforehand and how friendly the surgical team was... it was a six hour long procedure, and when I woke up in the recovery room, my family was there to greet me and help me return home, which took about another hour. Post-operative recovery was challenging as I'm an active mother on feet with taking care of the family, so the next week it was like an official holiday. I found it easy to maintain dressings while staying comfortable at home thanks to a pain pump and medication. I also felt well cared for by Dr O' Toole's nurse, Nadia, as she was good to phone me every day to follow up on my comfort levels and offer advice on dressing, showering, after care, and ever reminding me to NOT do chores. So, while recovering in bed, I read up on the www.makemeheal.com web site about other post-op patient experience, and found how my experience compared to others across the world was most certainly first class A+++. I can't tell you enough of how much I marvel at my new body. I now have FULL mobility, am able to do sit ups, touch toes. My abs are flat as a board with little noticeable scarring, I have a new belly button, and my breasts were reconstructed with internal incisions that have a built in laser bra, so even after a year post-op, they remain firm, natural and attractive. Dr O'Toole is the cream of the crop of expert surgeons and has a kind disposition, plus, I'll confess, it helps that he looks like Luke Skywalker. I just feel that I have a special affinity with this practice as all the staff are so fabulous. For that reason, when it came time to considering facial rejuvenation as I'm in my mid-40s, I returned to the clinic to inquire about a mini-face lift but do you know what Dr O'Toole did? He said, "you don't need that, you're fine-- just a little botox if even that." I mean, the man completely blew off a chance to profit, so it just goes to show how he's an ethical surgeon. In btw, I have benefited from botox as I have Trigeminal neuralgia. I feel that Dr O'Toole has been able to target my painful nerve points and decrease migraines as he's an experienced hand who knows what facial muscles are all about, so for anyone considering botox, don't go to a salon, go to a surgeon, it's a deal! read more

I went to Dr. O'toole to fix a tiny scar. It's tiny, but nonetheless it bothered me. My dermatologist tried with topical creams and other less abrasive solutions, but it wasn't working quickly enough for me. I finally made an appointment with Dr.O'toole and with two shakes of a lamb's tail, problem solved. Beautiful clean office. Great front office staff. Doctor has impeccable bedside manners. Reasonable prices. I'm happy with my results. 5 star! read more

I came here yesterday for a Juvederm lip filler and I am so happy with my results. Already the swelling has come down and my lips look fantastic. Dr. O'Toole was very informative and answered any questions I had before I agreed to the lip filler. I've gotten a lot of compliments today on how well of a job he did. A couple co workers of mine are interested in seeing him to discuss other procedures. I also have to mention Sarah at his office was so helpful and kind. She has been the best since the beginning when I scheduled my appointment with her over the phone. Overall I had a really great experience at his office yesterday and I'm very happy with my results. read more

They have some awesome creams here and chemical peels for your face . I challenge you to come and visit and see a change in your skin texture. By using this skin products. I've also seen some of the ladies I've have had some work done and of course I looked very nice and Young. I will wait when I turn 60 to get something done like a brow lift. Love life and love read more

Yesterday I had a breast reduction and neck lift done by Dr O'Toole. It took 6 hours. Up until my procedure he made sure to explain very clearly what he was going to do, just before and also after. He never pressured me to do anything. He cared more about my happiness and well being instead of the money. His facility is not just discreet and clean but very beatiful as well. His staff was incredibly professional and sensitive to my needs. They also made sure to ask me if I ever had any questions or needs. The Anasthesia Dr also made sure to explain everything he did before hand and asked me if I had any questions. I appreciate Dr. O'Toole and his entire team. Im recovering now and I can tell Im going to be very satisfied with the work he did. read more

Five star review for five star surgeon and overall caring professional. He's not only board certified and is a true artist (it's not a surprise this guy's grandmother was a concert pianist!), but I was so impressed he made time to see me every week after I got the surgery to make sure everything was healing properly. He also introduced himself to my husband on the day of my procedure, and called him afterwards personally to let him know everything went well. I was scared a couple of times during my healing process and called him AT HOME twice- and he was available both times to answer my questions and reassure me everything was okay. That is really, really important. Any PS can have cool photos of before and afters, but you want a doctor you can trust will BE THERE after the surgery to make sure you heal properly, and he is that guy. Plus he did an amazing job. A++. No question- would recommend him to all my loved ones. His nurses are super nice too. read more

My experience at Doctor O'Toole's office has always been a positive one. From the first phone call to make an appointment to the beautiful new office; it's always so clean and inviting. Sarah, the patient coordinator, is so patient and understanding with all my questions and concerns. Doctor O'Toole is really friendly and kind but what I appreciate from him is that he only recommends the procedures that I need, he never tries to up-sell me. He has even discouraged me from other procedures. If you're looking for a cosmetic surgeon who gives you peace of mind, Dr. O'Toole is the doctor for you! read more

Removing a BB from a 13 year olds chin probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a plastic surgeon. However, anything on the face that will leave a scar, I would not put in the hands of anyone else other than a plastic surgeon. Dr. O'Toole and his staff were absolutely wonderful! After a few minutes of prying and pulling (and a cool video for life), the BB was removed and replaced with two stitches! My son will forever be grateful for his "battle wound" scar! Thank you again, Dr. O'Toole and everyone in his office for making our visit comfortable, accommodating and reassuring! Let's hope the next time we see Dr. O'Toole, it's not for my son! :) read more

I spoke to Sara on the phone and set up a consultation for breast aug. On the day of, I arrived 5min early (I was excited and this is the first doctor I consulted with regarding my breast augmentation hopes). When I arrived, no one greeted me and I took it upon myself to find a seat. I would have introduced myself, but the person behind the window was busy with another person. As I sat there, I overheard the associates talking about the busy doc's schedule: 1st person (well maybe, there was time for another blah blah blah since our first consult didn't arrive); 2nd person (No, she is here...she's waiting). Okay so then a nice lady came out, handed me some papers, and preped me to see the doc. I watched a video and filled some forms since the doc was running late, but was on his way. When I met with the MD, he was helpful in answering my questions, and provided convincing examples of why he prefers certain methods over others, and not at all through the navel (many plastic surgery websites warn against Docs like this). It was all pretty clear cut, but not personable, and dry. He mentioned it was not worth seeing before and after photos since they're actually more confusing than helpful. What??? After meeting with him, the nice lady returned and helped me try on and measure different sample sizes. After meeting with her, I was directed to meet with Sara for an estimate. The out the door price 5,500 for saline, and $1000 more for silicone. I thought it was reasonable. Besides, I'm aiming more for quality, customer service, and expertise rather than price. I was able to think of some more questions, and Sara provided the stock answer: it's safe..approved by the FDA...blah blah blah. I was then directed to another lady to pay the $50 consultation fee. What? No one told me about a fee. I explained this to Sara. At first, she mentioned that she's used to saying the standard blah blah blah over the phone when setting up consultations, and that perhaps she forgot. [My eyes widened] Then, she said maybe I didn't hear her. Then she gave me a guilt trip for the Md having spent so much time with me (40min; remember he was running late, I even had to cancel a client at work because I wouldn't make it on time). I remained cordial, and assured her that I believe the consultation fee to be fair, and had I know about it, I would have been prepared to pay it with out question, but that I was never informed. I let her know how some other MD's were charging me a fee and some others not, and how I'm fine with that, but again I was never told about a fee with the Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery Center. As I waited to pay, Doc O'toole walked through the hall and didn't even give me eye contact. I think he even avoided it! He didn't smile or say have a nice day or thanks for your time. Nothing! I got a chance to really see how a bad business is run, and how it turns people away and makes them scared. Especially when some of the services they are providing can potentially kill you in the process. (surgery, hello?)!!!! Don't waste your time. read more

I researched online and read reviews....and chose Dr O'Toole. Had some laser skin resurfacing done by Dr O'Toole...and two weeks later, very happy with the results! Dr O'Toole and his assistant, Nadyia made me feel very comfortable...and took their time with me, explaining whatever questions I had. Definitely a good experience and results! read more

I went to Dr. Martin O'Toole to have fat pads removed from my abdomen, flanks, and inner thighs for which he thought SmartLipo would be the prefect option. At Dr. O'Toole's insistence, my pelvic area would have to be done at an additional cost. Before the procedure, Dr. O'Toole showed me a canister to explain that he could only take out the amount of fat that would fill that canister. During the procedure, Dr. O'Toole then insisted it would be necessary to put an incision across my pelvic area, directly above my pelvic hairline, to remove excess skin 'to prevent saggage' and he assured me that the incision would be hidden in my pubic hair, but it wasn't. As the procedure was taking far longer than Dr. O'Toole anticipated and he had another patient after me that he needed to attend to, he was only able to do my abdomen and pelvic area, and I agreed to come back for a second visit to complete the procedure. Before leaving the exam room, I pointed out to Dr. O'Toole that the canister was empty, minus about a ¼ inch of fluid at the very bottom of the canister. An emergency call had to be made to Dr. O'Toole later that evening when my legs swelled so severely that I could not bend my legs at all to get up my staircase. This would be the FIRST time Dr. O'Toole would mention 'that cutting in the pelvic area disturbs lymph nodes and causes swelling, which is usually temporary'. Temporary was not even close to the time or cost of 2+ years of acupuncture to get my lymphatic system to drain to where my legs were close to the size they were prior to the procedure. When I was finally able to even entertain the idea of receiving the already paid for SmartLipo to my flanks, inner thighs, and parts of my abdomen, which Dr. O'Toole agreed to touch up, Dr. O'Toole agreed that traditional lipo would be the route to go at an additional coast of $3000, to cover the anesthesiologist and surgery center. Then a week before this procedure was scheduled to be done, Dr. O'Toole told me that he is NOT going to do the liposuction because he feels that I need a tummy tuck, at an additional cost of $7600. I asked that the $5400 that I had already paid for SmartLipo being refunded to me, so I could go to another doctor for SmartLipo, but I was told that Dr. O'Toole does NOT give refunds. I asked that mediation being set up to resolve this issue and I was told that Dr. O'Toole does NOT participate in mediation. So, I guess that only conclusion that can be drawn from this experience is that Dr. O'Toole feels it is okay to keep money for services that he refused to render. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with Dr O'Toole. I had a infection after my breast augmentation. He was on vacation so I had to wait for him to return. He replaced the left breast. Then eventually ruptured. Went to his office to remove implants. But I was devastated with my body and so upset. He did not make me feel any better. Today I had another plastic surgeon clean my scar tissue and have the most beautiful breasts ever. I would not refer anyone to Dr O'Toole. Too bad because his nurse is amazing. read more

What can i say ? I don't think words can explain what Dr O'toole has done for me. I have my life and youth back. After having two kids my body took a beating. Was never over weight just had some lose skin, hernia and abdominal wall separation ( nothing major right lol ) oh and saggy boobs due to breast feeding. Dr O'toole has given me my confidence back and i simply can not complain. From the first consultation date until the surgery day he was always so calm, laid back and so attentive to all of my questions. I never once felt rushed or un cared for. he recommended what was best and i went with it, i couldn't be any happier. His whole team is beyond amazing. He is a very busy man and i wonder how he even does it all. But he does and he does his work very well. Had full tummy tuck, BA ( Silicone-Mod 490 & 459 = 34DD ) 5'2 current weight 130 before surgery 140. Thank you so much to Dr O'toole and his team! you guys are the best. truly you are, read more

Dr. O'Toole is awesome! The office staff is super friendly too! Dr. O'Toole left my lips looking pouty and full! I love them!

I'm one year past having my procedure with Dr. O'Toole... I am still so happy with all of my results, that I had to repost! On top of that, I went in to pickup some Latisse... and everyone still remembered my name! And, the customer service, it's there even after your procedure! read more

Dr. O'toole! He's fantastic!!! I was referred to Dr. O'toole by a friend that used to work for him as his nurse. I loved being referred by her because she worked beside him, directly observing how he handles patient care. I myself am a nurse, so it was really important to me to know and understand how he would care for and treat me. Dr. O'toole spent time with me in my consultation, carefully and thoroughly explaining the process to me. I was quite inquisitive, to say the least, and he made sure I felt completely comfortable!!! Not to mention, Sarah and Nadia were beyond incredible! They both assisted me in whatever way, shape, or form I needed. Before, during, and my million phone calls after=). I can't thank the Dr. O'toole, Nadia, Sarah, and the entire team at Pasadena Cosmetic Surgery for being wonderful to me! Not to mention, my breast implants are fantastic=) read more

Came in for a little bit of Botox. Brought some girlfriends in as well for consults. Doctor O'toole, Sarah and Nadia are all very friendly, attentive and informative. Botox for some and juvaderm for others, we all left as happy customers. read more

How do I gracefully say this...well I had a small procedure where Dr. O'Toole sucked the fat from under my chin (like lipo suction sort of thing?) . Best money I ever spent. I had a very minimal scar underneath my chin that you couldn't see unless you were literally looking underneath my chin. Now you can't even see the scar. The fat never came back. so happy! read more

Dr.O'Toole is fantastic. Sara and Nadia are very welcoming and helpful. Came in for botox and a little enhancement on my lips (juverderm). I am very pleased with natural yet plumper lips. Results from the botox were great . I've had botox before but definitely best result from Dr O'Toole read more

Love this place, highly recommend !! Surgeons are amazing Dr Otoole thank you !! It's always nice to get good referrals from Dr's you work with. We know who the best are and Dr Otoole is well known in Pasadena *please respect "koko m's" personal privacy. I use an alias to voice my opinion of local businesses as well as not to have my HIPPA rights violated at personal physicians I choose to use businesses* thank you! read more

Doctor O'Toole and his staff is EXCELLENT...5 STARS! If you're looking for a personable and extremely skilled surgeon armed with the latest cosmetic surgery advances, do see Dr. O'Toole. I love his staff Sarah and Nadia...they are highly professional and make you feel like home. It's highly recommended to you. read more

Its been a few years and I recommend him to all my friends and family! Best ever results, no regrets!

I got a breast augmentation with Dr. O'toole, in April 2014. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure, side effects, and post op care. I loved my experience with him and his staff, they are all helpful, caring, and welcoming. I had three consultations with different doctors and out of all of them I chose him because he's the one that made me feel like I was in good hands. His prices were reasonable, $5500 for saline and $6500 for silicone. I went with the saline option and my breasts feel super natural. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a BA. I am planning to do a tummy tuck within the next few years and I will be coming back to him. read more

Had a procedure done and I have to say that Dr. O'Toole and his staff are wonderful. I highly recommend him and know that if I ever plan to have further procedures, I will not hesitate to reach out to him for his expertise. read more

After reading reviews, I decided to try Dr. O'Toole for Botox between my eyes. I have been doing Botox for a few years, mostly to prevent frowning, and I was excited to go to an actual plastic surgeon as opposed to the spa/nurse I usually see. Unfortunately this was a huge mistake! 1.5 weeks after 25 units of Botox, my right eye started to feel heavy and my eyelid began to sag. I did some research and apparently this can last from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 months! It seems Dr. O'Toole either injected too much or injected too close to my eye!!! I now look way worse than I did with a tiny little wrinkle or frown! I have a wedding coming up, and don't want to attend because I look awful! My husband even noticed. I called Dr. O'Toole's office, expecting them to have a solution, and they offered to call in a prescription for eye drops that won't solve the problem, but might make it look a little better. The drops will cost an additional $60. I expressed my dissatisfaction and was told this is fairly common. They suggested I send in a picture for my file so the Dr. knows not to inject so close to my eye. Um, sorry, but there's no way I'll be going back to this doctor!! The risk wasn't brought to my attention beforehand. I will never, ever Botox again. Yes, this is what I get for being too vain, but I can't believe a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would let this happen!!! And why hasn't this ever happened before?? My mom came with me to Dr. O'Toole for fillers and she still has small lumps in her face! She's been doing fillers for years and this is the only time this has ever happened. It's terrible and hugely disappointing. Thankfully it isn't noticeable unless you touch her face. I will never, ever go back to Dr. O'Toole and recommend everyone stay away. If this happens with injections, I hate to think about what could happen with major surgery! read more
