I'm about 8 weeks post-op from a breast augmentation with Dr. Smith, and the entire experience and my results have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the initial consultation, to pre-op, surgery day, and all post-op visits - it has genuinely been a 100/10 experience. Dr. Smith was actually my first consult. Even though I wanted to book surgery immediately after he and Cathy spent nearly an hour and a half with my husband and me, I had already paid for two additional consults and felt I should attend them. Honestly, thank goodness Dr. Smith was my first because the other two surgeons likely would have scared me away from the procedure altogether. Dr. Smith stood out by a long shot. At every single visit, I never once felt rushed or like my questions weren't valid. They truly took the time to listen, understand, and make sure I felt completely comfortable and confident in every decision. That level of care is rare and meant so much to me. Dr. Smith and his entire team are incredible and genuinely care about their patients. The facility is absolutely beautiful, and on surgery day I was blown away when they took me back to their OR- it's like a mini hospital in there. Everything felt extremely organized, professional, and safe. I felt so calm on surgery day, which is not typical for me at all (I've never had surgery), and that's completely a testament to Dr. Smith and his entire team. The last thing I remember is Dr. Smith squeezing my hand, and then I woke up as the new me! Recovery was smooth, and the team supported me every step of the way. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Smith and his staff and have already recommended him to several people. If you're considering plastic surgery you won't regret choosing Dr. Smith. I truly couldn't recommend him more and only wish I had done it sooner.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Smith and his entire team. From start to finish,…read moreeveryone has been friendly, welcoming, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable.

I wasn't going to do this surgery because I thought I was too old for this and also nervous about it. Now I'm so glad I did it but I'm glad I found this doctor. I went to three consultations before dr K. and only went to the top rated ones on yelp. Dr. K. took the time to explain everything and to listen to what I wanted. He also gave me his opinion which I'm glad I listened to. I love the results, even my daughters love it and want to go to Dr K to have the procedure done themselves which I totally support. The day of the surgery he told me he would take care of me and he did. All of the stuff were so professional and nice. I got my confidence back thanks to Dr K.

Unfortunately, I am still suffering from the results over 10 years later and cannot afford to repair the mistakes. I continue to have a double bubble issue on both breasts. After my first surgery, I experienced complications and developed a hematoma. I later went back in to fix the issues, but the outcome remained the same. What has been most difficult is that I was never offered a proper solution, revision support, or even a meaningful follow-up conversation about next steps. I paid over $8,000 for a surgery that has left me deeply insecure for more than a decade. I avoid bikinis, feel uncomfortable in my own body, and honestly feel heartbroken over the results. I have since consulted with other surgeons who explained that the implant placement was not done correctly, which likely contributed to the double bubble deformity and overall appearance. They also explained what would be required to repair the damage, but I simply cannot afford another $10,000 surgery. I am sharing this because, for years, I stayed quiet. I tried to be polite, not bother anyone, and even blamed myself. But now at 36, I've reached a breaking point and feel it's important to speak honestly about my experience. I hope women take the time to research thoroughly, meet with multiple surgeons and not go to the first surgeon they google like I did and ask difficult questions, and really think through their decision before moving forward. This was the first place I went to, and I trusted them completely. I miss my old self and appearance. The results have affected my confidence for years, and I hope one day I can afford to fix them. This is simply my personal experience, but I also wish the office had reached out over the years, checked on me, or acknowledged that the surgeries were not successful. I still have all the surgery paperwork and amount I paid, I look it and just wish there was an attempt to correct the mistakes or issues -Daisy

I can't recommend this practice enough…read more I was an out-of-state patient, and from the very beginning, they made the entire process feel seamless. We were able to do FaceTime consultations along with in-person appointments, which made planning everything so much easier. They also worked with me on financing, which I really appreciated. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Every time I walked in, I felt comfortable and taken care of. The staff is incredibly kind and supportive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. It's worth noting that he is a busy surgeon, so you do need to be patient with scheduling -- but in my opinion, that speaks to how in-demand and trusted he is. One thing that really stood out to me was the environment of the office. It has a strong faith-based presence, and while I'm not personally religious, I found it surprisingly comforting. I was told that during the building process, he would come in and write scripture within the structure of the office, which I thought was such a meaningful and intentional touch. On the day of surgery, I was understandably nervous, but the entire team made me feel at ease. The anesthesiologist was absolutely hilarious and helped lighten the mood right away. Right before surgery, the doctor asked if I would like him to pray with me. Even though I'm not religious, I said yes -- and it ended up being a really grounding, calming moment that I genuinely appreciated. Now, about 14 weeks post-op, I can honestly say I am so happy with my results. I feel confident, comfortable, and like I got exactly what I asked for. I'm still working on scar management, but overall, I love how everything looks. And coming from Las Vegas, I paid a fraction of what I would have locally, which made the experience even better. If you're considering working with him, especially as an out-of-state patient, I highly recommend it. I felt supported, safe, and truly cared for every step of the way.

When I asked for photos of people with similar cases like mine he pretty much brushed me off & suggested I visit their website for photos. Why would I do that if you're literally right in front of me hahah. Show me photos educate me you're the surgeon who I may potentially pay thousands and thousands to perform this procedure. Anyways after our rushed procedure the sales team gets a hold of me lol and they just went right into pricing .. didn't ask me about the consult didn't even introduce themselves I was shocked !!! The whole experience came off rushed and very sales driven. I even expressed that to the sales girls) I really believe if the surgeon took his time explaining things and behaved like someone who cared about me instead of my $$ this would have been a totally different experience. People are coming to you to spend tons and tons of money. They're not an inconvenience as soon as they want questions answered, very unprofessional. The 2 stars is for that fact that he doesn't charge a consult fee (shocking )

Our consultation was quick, she went over her plan, and we set a date for my cosmetic procedure.

South Coast gives the option of taking medication to help you relax, I chose not to because I knew I was in good hands. Dr. B even let me pick what music to listen to during surgery, of course we agreed on Rufus Du Sol, she gets it. Jenna was the surgical tech, she was super sweet and assisted Dr. B through the whole procedure. A few things in common made for easy conversation. Dr. Benyamein was precise and caring.

I waited until the one-year mark to leave this review because I wanted to give my body enough time…read moreto fully heal and settle before speaking on my final results. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the outcome of my breast augmentation and with the level of follow-up support afterward. I had surgery on May 5, 2025. Around 4-5 months post-op, I began noticing significant asymmetry developing. By the time I returned for my follow-up appointment in September, the issue had already become very noticeable. At this point, I developed capsular contracture on my left side, causing the breast to feel hard, tight, and unnatural. On the right side, the implant dropped significantly lower than the left, creating visible asymmetry and uneven nipple positioning. I also experienced poor scar healing around my right areola, with the scar remaining thick, raised, and persistently itchy nearly a year later. To be fair, Dr. Kosins did acknowledge the asymmetry during my September appointment, discussed revision options with me, and his office provided information regarding the Allergan warranty coverage. I understand capsular contracture is a known risk of breast augmentation surgery and not necessarily the result of negligence. However, what left me disappointed was the lack of continued follow-up and support afterward. After the initial discussion regarding revision options and warranty information, there was no further outreach, follow-up phone call, scheduling assistance for next steps, or even scheduling of my one-year post-op appointment/check-in. As a patient navigating an upsetting complication less than a year after surgery, that absence of communication left me feeling unsupported and alone in the process. I never expected perfection, and I understand complications can happen with any surgery. But when complications do occur, communication, reassurance, and aftercare matter just as much as the surgery itself. Patients deserve to know not only how successful outcomes are handled, but also how they are supported when results do not go as planned.

I'm 68 years old. For years I struggled with breathing problems and sleep apnea. I used CPAP but…read morewas tired of being sick and tired. At 66, I had my first rhinoplasty. The surgeon was a triple board-certified plastic surgeon I had known for over 30 years. I trusted him and believed I was in excellent hands. The result was terrible. My breathing worsened and my nose looked unnatural. I lived with that outcome for over two years, trying to rationalize it, but I couldn't. This was my face. It affects how I breathe, how I sleep, and how I feel every day. So I did serious research. What I learned changed everything. Rhinoplasty is not just cosmetic. The nose must function. We are meant to breathe through our noses. When the structure is weakened or obstructed, airflow is compromised. Air must move freely when you inhale and exhale. The internal support has to remain stable so the airway does not collapse. Without that support, you mouth breathe, wake up tired, and constantly feel like you're not getting enough air. I experienced all of it. My research led me to Dr. Aaron Kosins in Newport Beach. Because mine was a revision case -- after my nasal bones had been broken in the first surgery -- preservation rhinoplasty was no longer available to me. I had missed the boat. Preservation rhinoplasty reshapes and repositions the natural structures of the nose instead of aggressively "hammering down" the bridge and rebuilding it from scratch. Dr. Kosins is one of the pioneers in using ultrasonic piezo instrumentation to precisely sculpt nasal bone rather than manually breaking it. This allows refinement of what a patient is born with while improving both appearance and function. Due to the prior damage, significant reconstruction was required, including cartilage taken from my own rib to rebuild and properly support my nose. If I could give one piece of advice: only do a piezo surgery! Dr. Kosins is widely regarded by his peers as a world expert in rhinoplasty, including preservation techniques and complex structural revision cases. Many established surgeons seek out his workshops and cadaver labs to refine advanced techniques. He has the rare ability to communicate directly, thoughtfully, and sincerely. From the first meeting, I knew I was finally in the right hands. And then came the result. It was a knockout. My breathing is excellent. Air moves freely through both sides of my nose when I inhale and exhale. There is no resistance, no collapse, no struggle to get enough air in or out. For the first time in years, breathing feels effortless. Cosmetically, my nose looks natural and balanced -- not artificial or overdone. I also want to acknowledge his team. Risa, the practice manager, was accessible and organized throughout the process. Judy was BEYOND amazing!!! After surgery she called and texted us multiple times a day, every single day, making sure I was doing well. We also had direct access to Dr. Kosins whenever we needed him. I never felt alone or uncertain. Choosing Dr. Aaron Kosins and his team made a major difference in my life, and I am extremely grateful.
