When I first posted my review just four days after surgery, I was over the moon and excited, rating the experience a 5/5. However, I now deeply regret not waiting to see the full results before sharing my initial thoughts. After the initial excitement wore off and the swelling subsided, I began to notice alarming issues with my results. My confidence was destroyed, and I was left traumatized by the entire experience. What began as a journey to enhance my self-esteem has instead left me deeply depressed and embarrassed by the way my breasts now look. Just a week after surgery, I had to go back for a follow-up, where my doctor discovered a blood clot (hematoma) in my left breast. He removed it on the same day under local anesthesia. I didn't fully understand that this was a significant procedure until it was happening. He reopened my breast to remove the blood clot, and the sight of it was horrifying--I almost fainted when I saw how large it was. After the procedure, I had to drive two hours back to San Diego, but I didn't realize I was bleeding out during the drive. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the extent of the bleeding--I had soaked through an entire roll of toilet paper, and there was a puddle of blood. Thankfully, my neighbor, a nurse, came over, and after seeing what was happening, she immediately called 911, fearing for my life. It turns out I had developed another hematoma, causing significant blood leakage. My hemoglobin level dropped to seven, which is considered life-threatening. I was being prepared for a blood transfusion because of how much blood I lost. The surgeon at the emergency room hospital told me that I could have died because the wound was not properly cauterized after the initial hematoma was removed--this could have been the reason for my death. As a result of this surgery and the complications that followed, my life was destroyed for several months. I ended up needing an iron transfusion, which led to an allergic reaction that caused me to faint and ultimately resulted in me totaling my car. All of this happened because I lost so much blood. Before the surgery, my hemoglobin level was at 13, and the doctors told me it was a miracle I survived the amount of blood loss I experienced. Dr. Taneja's negligence almost killed me. The medical team told me I needed to have my breast implant removed and the wound cauterized. Terrified, I called Dr. Taneja, who reassured me that the implant didn't need to be removed. After a lot of back-and-forth between the general surgeon, plastic surgeon, and Dr. Taneja, I decided not to remove the implant and went ahead with cauterizing the wound. While I'm grateful that I saved the implant, I can't shake the feeling that I narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation. The aftermath has been devastating. My scars are unsightly, my nipples are uneven and not even circular, and the overall healing has been terrible. My right breast, which had no complications, still healed poorly and looks uneven. Despite paying $12,000, I now deeply regret the decision to undergo this surgery. I consulted another surgeon who confirmed my fears: my skin was stretched too much during the procedure, making proper healing nearly impossible. My nipples are larger and positioned too high, which is not what I wanted when I opted for a breast reduction. This has left me with oversized, uneven nipples that look worse than they ever did before. I tried to follow up with the original surgeon six weeks after everything happened, but I missed the appointment. When I attempted to reschedule, I was completely ignored. It's been incredibly frustrating and disheartening to feel abandoned by the very people I trusted with such an important part of my body. I'm now faced with the painful reality that I may need corrective surgery, but I'm too scared to reach out to them again because of how they've handled my concerns so far. My confidence is shattered, and I feel deformed. Even after expressing my worries to the surgeon, I was told to just wait and that everything would be fine. But looking at myself now, I can honestly say that if you saw how my nipples look, you would understand why I feel like crying. This has been a nightmare, and I can't recommend this surgeon or practice to anyone. Please, if you're considering this kind of surgery, think long and hard about who you trust with your body. read more

Dr. Taneja is amazing!!!!!! I was traumatized after I got my boobs done when I was 18 by a quack doctor who put on a total scam! I had the worst experience ever and as bad of a job as he did I swore I was never going to get them fixed after a terrible surgery and horrible outcome. I went with my girlfriend to her post op with Dr. Taneja and knew from the first time talking to him that he was a great doctor. The way he explained things and talked to her along with how beautiful her breasts turned out I was so impressed I scheduled an appointment the following week. First impressions are so important and his staff was just as wonderful as he is. They are all so comforting and knowledgeable and all have been patients of his. To see all his work I was confident that he was going to do a great job with my messed up chest. I needed full reconstructive surgery my pockets on both sides were torn and my implant deflated and I was totally lopsided and uneven and unhappy for 11 years. After our consultation it took me 6 months to gather myself and enter the operating room I was a nervous wreck. I use to be so tough, but after the first time I guess I lost it. When I arrived, the morning of my surgery I was greeted, calmed and everyone made me laugh and feel comfortable. Before I knew it I was done. Now it has been 2 1/2 weeks and my breasts are beautiful I haven't been this happy in a long time. He has already seen me 3 times just to make sure everything went right! I can't tell you enough that I recommend him and if you have anything done by him you will be in great hands. My mother and my friends have all had different doctors for surgeries and I think I have had the greatest experience and best results out of all of them! He is the best!!!!! read more

I heard about My Look Surgery from my aunt, and decided to do more research on them. I requested a consultation online and right away received a call from them. They had an open consultation and I immediately took it. I went in on Tuesday and I fell in love. I was feeling nervous as I was driving to their office in Newport Beach; however, as soon as I entered their office my nerves seemed to calm down. The environment is lovely and their front desk are very accommodating and welcoming. It wasn't much until my name was called and when Dr. Taneja entered the room, he started conversation and made me feel comfortable. He called in Cristhy and she was great! She was really good at advising what size I went (breast augmentation) and what kind was best for me. She explained the whole procedure and assured me that I was in good hands and I was going to be okay. I was planning on getting my surgery done by the end of this year, but after my consultation I can no longer wait. I feel extremely excited and ready after meeting with Dr. Taneja and his assistants. I plan on setting my surgery date for this summer. I recommend My Look Surgery to anyone! I couldn't be any more happier and satisfied. read more

I LOVE MY LOOK! I have been wanting a breast augmentation for years, Not long ago I decided it was time. Over a few months I saw four different doctors and was not sure about any of them. I was referred to Dr.T almost two months ago, and I could not be happier. On the day of my consultation Dr.T was extremely informative, discussed all my options and answered all of my questions and concerns. That day I booked my appointment! On the day of surgery, Dr.T and his staff made me feel extremely comfortable. After surgery, once again they were very informative on how i would feel over the next couple days. Two days later I went in for my Post Op appointment and that's when I had the pleasure of meeting Claudia. She put my mind at ease and has been a great recovery coach, not only to me but to my boyfriend who was more nervous then I ;) read more

I feel so blessed that now I have Dr. Taneja as my plastic surgeon for life because I know I can trust his expertise and professionalism but mostly I trust he cares for his patients.

So about 2 weeks ago my mom got laser done for a couple of sun spots she had and within 2 days a couple of her spots had disappeared! She felt minor pain from the laser and within hours the burning sensation had gone away. My mom was very pleased with the whole experience aside from the fact that she's always taken care of her skin. In that same appointment she got Botox in her T-area and for crows feet as well and is loving it. She feels and looks much younger and is happy with the outcome. Special thanks to Claudia for ALWAYS making us feel comfortable and being honest. The way she treats us is definitely one of the reasons why we keep coming back! read more

I heard about Dr. Tanjea through my daughter. I was very hesitant about getting any work done, although I have been wanting to for many many years. When I met with the Dr. he was very accommodating to my needs, after realizing English wasn't my first language he had no hesitation in speaking to me in Spanish. This made me feel much more comfortable, knowing that I could communicate better with him and just knowing he could understand me and my needs as well. His staff is so friendly and helpful, the lady that assists him during his consultations is such a great help and so sweet and genuine. She and the Dr, helped put my many concerns at ease. read more

I was very impressed by Dr Taneja the first time I met him during my consultation. He's a cool guy, very down to earth and personable. He really takes his time to listen to your needs and concerns. I had a tummy tuck and saline implants on 2/20/13 and my results are amazing!! Him and his staff are so easy to talk to and make you feel so at ease. Also, he gives you his cell phone number for you to call anytime after your surgery for any questions or concerns. I've never experienced a Dr that would do that! I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone. He is the BEST and he will be the only plastic surgeon i ever go to!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Taneja since 2012 , I chose him as my surgeon for so many reasons but above all because of his bed side manners , his care he places into his patients. The attentiveness to the procedure you are wanting. I later started to get Botox and fillers from The beautiful Miss Fancy Nancy and she literally is amazing her work speaks for itself. I drive 2 1/2 hours just to do my fillers & up keep on Botox. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face. The staff is amazing and these people have become like family. That's how well you are treated. 13 years strong and still going, I highly recommend My Look . read more
