I'm sorry for the delay in my 2nd follow-up post! I had butt implants done by Dr. Stanton in August 2025, and I'm still absolutely thrilled with the results. They're perfectly in proportion to my legs. Around four months after the procedure, It was completely natural sitting down. I absolutely love how they look and how much they've boosted my confidence. I especially love wearing leggings to show off my new booty. He's truly a master in the area of his expertise read more

The worst experience, I regret everything about using Dr. Stanton. I had high hopes when I chose Dr. Stanton for hip implant surgery. I provided clear goal photos (mostly of myself wearing silicone pads) and emphasized my desire for a *natural result.* During our phone consultation, I was told I was a great candidate. I trusted his expertise and moved forward. The day of surgery was the first time I met him in person. I reiterated my concerns: no high implants, no harsh tapering, and a natural appearance. I left surgery feeling hopeful. The next day I noticed they were sitting very high. On our follow up call that day I was told by his staff that the implants would not settle downward, adding to my heightened anxiety about the results immensely. At my first post-op visit, my husband and I voiced concerns and referenced my wish photos. Rather than feeling supported, I witnessed Dr. Stanton argue with my husband, becoming defensive and unprofessional. When I followed up again weeks later, I was told the high placement and indentations could be fixed with additional fat grafting and butt implants, something I was never told might be necessary prior to surgery. He also falsely claimed I requested "a bigger look," which I never did. I chose Dr. Stanton based on his advertised expertise. Waiting to tell a patient until post-op that a revision or additional surgery may be necessary suggests a serious lack of expertise and integrity. I consulted multiple board-certified surgeons, all of whom recommended implant removal due to how unnatural and distorted the results were. A few even urged urgency, so my skin could recover. I emailed Dr. Stanton multiple times requesting a refund or meaningful response, but he refused to communicate outside of an in-person visit. I no longer felt safe under his care and did not want to continue to be gas-lit and lied to during in-person visits. In May 2025, I had the implants removed by a different surgeon, at my own cost. While removal was the right decision, I remain traumatized and heartbroken by the entire experience. I had two prior elective surgeries with another doctor and loved my results, this was the complete opposite. If you're considering Dr. Stanton, ask thorough questions, insist your goals are clearly understood, and get more than one opinion. I wish I had. read more

I chose this doctor because I was repeatedly told he was "the best." When I arrived for my consultation, however, I immediately felt uncomfortable. His demeanor made me feel self-conscious about prior work I had done, and at times it felt as though he was mocking or criticizing previous surgeons rather than approaching my case with professionalism and empathy. Despite that, I was hopeful and even excited to move forward, trusting the reputation I had heard and believing I was in the best hands. The entire process felt rushed. On the day of my appointment, the doctor was approximately an hour and a half late. Instead of speaking directly with him about important details, I was directed to communicate with his assistant, who was out of town in a different time zone. Eventually, after connecting with her, I agreed to proceed with surgery because I was leaving town within a few days and the timeline felt compressed. The financing process was not clearly explained. I was told there was a six-month no-interest promotional period through CareCredit. However, it was never clearly disclosed to me that the full balance would need to be paid off within those six months or deferred interest would be added retroactively. I was specifically instructed not to run the card myself and to allow the office to process it so they could apply the promotional terms, which I was told was a request from the doctor. Only later did I discover that I am now expected to pay off a $20,000 balance within six months or incur significant interest charges. When I reached out for clarification, I was told that the terms were "in the paperwork," but they were never properly or thoroughly explained to me. Additionally, I was told a specific implant size would be used during my procedure, but a smaller implant was ultimately placed without clear explanation. This left me feeling misled and concerned that I may need revision surgery in the future. I ultimately sought consultation with another physician to address issues that were not resolved from the original surgery. Overall, this experience has been extremely distressing. Between the bedside manner, the rushed process, the lack of clear financial disclosure, and the surgical outcome concerns, it has been a very painful ordeal. I have spent the past several months deeply upset and emotionally affected by the entire situation. read more

Doctor Stanton is so nice!! I went for my consultation today and it was only $150 that goes towards the surgery. We talked lifestyle, diet, healing process, functionality, and he was very cool and knowledgeable, answering all my questions and explaining things scientifically and anatomically. I got my quote, it's good for ninety days, so I'm going to hustle up the remaining funds and put the deposit as soon as I can ! He such a nice and smart man !!! Thank you so much mister king booty! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Dr. Ryan Stanton has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the very beginning, he was consistently late to appointments and showed a complete lack of professionalism and empathy. Not only did I end up with a serious infection after my procedure, but I later discovered he had implanted a smaller-sized implant than what we had originally discussed-- after we only talked about 600cc and if he wasn't able to input that, in his words "he'll definitely will be able to implant 500cc ( I received neither). To make matters worse, I was left with severe scarring that doesn't even align with my natural gluteal crease (butt crack). The incisions flare outward, and the resulting keloid scars are dark, raised, and highly visible--especially any time I bend over even slightly. It's incredibly embarrassing, and it's a constant reminder of the trauma I went through, both physically and emotionally. No one should have to live with scars like these from a procedure that was supposed to improve their confidence. When I brought up my concerns about the infection, he initially informed me it was an infection and sent me medication for it but then from reaching out to his coordinator he was denying it! Until he was confronted with undeniable evidence. Today it seemed as though he expected me to not bring it up because they eventually weeks later gave me medication to stuff my butt until it healed. The only reason I healed was due to my husband being tentative. Instead of taking responsibility he became defensive during this distressing phone call. I tried to express how traumatic this entire experience had been for me, and he belittled me, spoke over me, told me I "wasn't important," and then hung up on me. A doctor--someone who is supposed to care for and support their patients--telling a patient they're not important? Absolutely unacceptable. I was initially willing to let a lot of this go, but that last phone call changed everything. It was clear I was nothing more than a dollar sign to him. The way I was treated was dehumanizing and traumatic. His online reputation and nickname "the Butt King" do not reflect the reality of the care (or lack thereof) that I received. Just because someone has a flashy brand and charges significantly more than other surgeons does not mean they're skilled, ethical, or compassionate. I deeply regret ever trusting Dr. Stanton and his staff, and I hope this review helps others make a more informed decision. Please, do your research thoroughly--and don't be blinded by social media hype or inflated price tags. What you see online is not always the reality behind closed doors. read more

I paid $15,000-$16,000 for glute implants, believing they were a lifetime investment since I was told they would never need to be replaced. Fast forward, and my left implant split or broke--something I was assured wouldn't happen. Now, I'm being told it will cost another $15,000 just to remove them, with no replacement. Honestly, I would never want to replace them anyway. Getting these implants was one of the dumbest decisions of my life. He markets them as feeling natural. I was also told they would eventually soften, but that never happened--completely unnatural and uncomfortable hard as rock . Every time I sit down, it feels like I left my phone in my back pocket and sat on it--except it's permanent. The discomfort is constant and unavoidable. To make things worse, when I called to discuss my situation, the lady who answered was rude and completely unsympathetic. No concern, no compassion. 100% would not recommend. read more

I loved my butt. Had it done twice and wasn't happy. He corrected the placement and shape, looks amazing and am going back for bigger Implants. I felt a warm caring presence from him. His staff also is available to assist but not as friendly. I love his work with my butt and am looking forward to hips and bigger butt implants. Thank you, Butt King (Dr Stanton's real life nick name) I believe in you and your body sculpting Daisy the Venice Healer read more

On March 25, 2024 I got butt implants. 420cc on each side. The Anesthesiologist is very kind and treated me very well. He is very soft handed and nothing was painful. He makes me feel safe. Dr. Stanton picked out the perfect size implant for me. It looks very natural. It goes well with my figure. It has only been two days and it's not even healed yet, but I can tell it's beautiful. And the Nurse is very patient and welcoming. I appreciate her so much. She helped me through the whole process. Thank you everyone, great team. I am a very happy patient. I will definitely be referring my friends and family. read more

I am using my fiancé's yelp account to stay anonymous. Ladies I know this is a long review but please try to read through it. **If there is anything you ladies should take away from this review is that, since you decided to choose this surgeon, you have to trust the his recommendation. They are the professionals. If I had went against Dr. Stanton's recommendation, I would've absolutely hated my results and had to deal with the consequences.** I am about 6 months post-op now and I can't even explain how happy I am with my results. It's actually life changing! I was referred to Dr. Stanton by another friend of mine, who had her butt implants done. She told me he was a legit surgeon who is very honest and up front with what he would recommend. That really sold me because a lot of surgeons in this area does not put their patients best interest in mind. They don't care and will do whatever you say to earn your business/take your money. Initially, I had the mindset "go big or go home". I mean who would want to deal with having to do this surgery more than once, right? I told Dr. Stanton I wanted no less than 450cc. Dr. Stanton told me it would not fit in my small frame. If I wanted to go that big, I won't need high profile or ultra high profile. He warned me that it would look very unnatural and would actually accentuate the natural wide gap I have between my boobs. He really took his time to warn me of how the results would look if I went against his recommendations. Honestly, I was a little disappointed I wasn't going to have big big boobs like all my friends did. BUT I decided to trust him. Words can't explain how happy I am. Not only do they look natural when I'm naked, but it still looks amazing in clothes. I can finally wear low cut tops and dresses! Truly life changing! My fiancé is very happy with my results and glad that I trusted Dr. Stanton's recommendation. Not only is he good with butts, he's just as amazing with boobs! read more

wouldn't risk yourself/ your looks or your wallet with Dr Stanton. He did bad plastic surgery on me-I went to him to be nice and give him the business because I met him when he was just starting in town....however being a big glamour /men's magazines model it was really stupid to go to him. Dr Stanton ruined my looks temporarily-instead of making me look better. Huge waste of money and time. So frustrating be on newsstands with bad plastic work by dr Stanton Anyways went somewhere else got corrective work with further expense. wish had never gone to dr Stanton. Customer service/patient priority/ patient safety needs to be priority over money and attitude with this doctor. read more

Best doctor ever! I made the mistake of having my butt implants done with another doctor who I paid a lot of money for in Manhattan and what a mistake that was! Dr. Stanton is superior in every way! Everything with Dr. Stanton has been better. From the staff being genuinely nice to my recovery being much easier and faster. The coordinator is caring and friendly. The nurse is super friendly and amazing with the needle, I didn't feel anything! This was the first time I wasn't cold after surgery because she made sure to keep me warm. The anesthesiologists was extremely skilled, my surgery was long but my throat felt good the next day. I've had other much surgeries where my throat hurt badly because the quality of an anesthesiologist is super important. Dr. Stanton did an excellent job gathering a really solid team of high quality professionals who you can trust. Also, the place was super clean and spotless which for a neat freak like me was comforting. Dr. Stanton has without a doubt mastered the hip and butt implants surgeries! His patented and unique design gives a much nicer shape than the original circle implant. It's a shame all doctors aren't using his design because it would give women such nicer results! If you're considering getting your butt done I high recommend getting it ONLY with Dr. Stanton. The first time I did the standard round shape so I can compare results of what his looks like to the regular round shape and his is 100% the winner! It looks more natural and the coverage is longer which brings the whole butt look together perfectly. With the round implant there is a slight dip between where the implant ends and where the bottom of the butt continues but with his design it seamlessly transitions into the lower part of the booty giving it that natural perfect look! Don't waste your money going to another doctor. When it comes to your body it's worth to spend more to be safe and happy. You'll just end up being unhappy and need a revision which will end up costing more anyway. read more

I got MRSA from his operating room, My results turned out negative. I am now disfigured. He is an arrogant man and his staff are all excited about being in Beverly Hills, really low life staff. Dr A.

Ryan Stantons true work! He does experiments on people. I have consulted with many surgeons and they have all said they have NEVER seen a case like this and what we did to me is SCARY. I have been turned down by the best surgeons because they don't even know how to fix this. Ryan himself couldn't even fix his own work. Don't risk your body with this butcher read more

Ryan A. Stanton, MD - More work of RYAN STANTON! Destroyed my boobs - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I used Dr Stanton in 2012 and highly recommend. At the time (not sure if still), Mindy was the patient coordinator and awesome. They stayed pretty on time for each visit. I picked Dr Stanton well before there were yelp reviews. I was searching for a doctor to do a labiaplasty. I narrowed down to him and a doctor in San Francisco. I chose Dr Stanton, because his breast implants looked better than the other (I did both). Honestly, he went bigger than what I originally said, but they are perfectly proportional to my body. One side was also a full cup size larger and now they are very close to equal. I wanted a natural look and got it. Literally if I hadn't told you, you would never know they were fake read more

A colleague and I are considering implants with Dr Stanton. We have had several email interactions with their patient coordinator Mindy, I'm not certain her role entails but her email etiquette and professionalism is clearly lacking. Perhaps she ought to be sitting up in the front desk and answering phone calls as she recently sent an email to my colleague stating simply " ok whatever you want". This is Beverly Hills? And we're are spending x amount to get implants done when there are plenty of other doctors available? Mindy doesn't even have the decency to address individuals by their names in emails nor call them. I would suggest twice before going to see Dr Stanton, btw they have a parking lot in the back but it's always full used by their staff. Bravo. read more

Medicore work. Botched my boobs and didn't give me the nose I wanted. Wouldn't recommend

Disastrous so called surgeon. Lied about his experience and I was his guinea pig. This man knows nothing about fat transfer. I have scarring, didn't bother to apologize once or offer my money back, had me spend another $1000 out of pocket for oxygen therapy for his stupid mistakes which didn't help. Do not trust him - complete con! read more

Okay, first, I'd like to admit that I haven't had my surgery yet, but Dr. Stanton and his patient coordinator, Mindy, are so gracious and patient, that I am actually eager to have my butt done by the king himself. I am a full time student and I have never had surgery. My schedule doesn't permit me to take two- three weeks off, so I had to reschedule quite a bit. I was extremely nervous, so that adds to the rescheduling issue as well, but Mindy has been so kind and patient with me throughout the whole process. I felt a little bad that I constantly called her and sent emails, but she was so nice and willing to accommodate. I am very grateful for her help. Dr. Stanton, on the other hand, although I spoke with him once, he answered as many questions I could throw at him. I explained to him about how nervous I was and he kindly shared with me his own personal experience with surgery and how nervous he was. I have spoken to many previous plastic surgeons regarding this procedure, but Dr. Stanton was the most genuine and kind... not to mention that his before and after pictures speak wonders about his craft. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I know that I am in great hands. read more

Dr. Stanton rocks! I had gone on a consultation with another plastic surgeon and he told me that in order to achieve my outcome, he'd have to cut me up and leave my stomach with a huge ass anchor cut. Ummmmmmmmmm... no! I go see Dr. Stanton and I ask him if I need an anchor cut. He almost laughed at me. He explained to me that his goal was to leave me with as little scarring and incisions as possible. *high five* He gave me a full abdominoplasty. For the lay people that means a tummy tuck with muscle tightening. All I remember was getting into the cold room, IV drip... wake up in another room. I was so high off of anesthesia that I could see my flat tummy but I felt like my legs were 6 ft. to the right of me and my arms were 6ft. to the left. It was crazy. And when I started to scream out for my anesthesiologist, I kept screaming out for "Elmer!" I don't know how many times I called him. He came and gave me some meds and I knocked out. Funnier still, a month later I get an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) and I'm wondering WTF is this bill for? It turns out I was so doped up on "happy juice" that I was calling the anesthesiologist Elmer and his real name was Adrian or something like that. I was that high. I LMAO when I realized that I was this high post-op screaming out for some random dude and then wondering why he didn't run to me. Overall though, Dr. Stanton and his office are amazing. If I need more work, I'll definitely go back to him. read more

He removed my initial review and the negative reviews of another patient. This man left us with botched work and emotional scars and we should be allowed to leave an honest review. I have personally spoken to a few of his patients that regret getting work done by him. My own experience is complications that he said he "never" saw happen to others which I now know to be false.

The experience was awesome. My results are exactly what was discussed during my consultation. All of Dr. Stanton's staff were professional and caring at all times. I received 400 cc Stanton Anatomic Butt Implants, liposuction of flanks and love handles. My recovery was easy compared to other non-elective surgeries I've had in the past. Minimal pain or restricted movement except for the first two days. I am considering an upsize or "tweaking " in the near future. After such a positive experience with Dr. Stanton and his staff, I wouldn't consider any other surgeon for my future procedures. read more

Dr. Stanton and his staff, especially Mindy is my primary doctor & consultant! I have had a few procedures done with him and love them all! Very nice & clean office, they make you feel very comfortable. Fully recommend! I would not take any of the other negative feedback left here seriously! Prices are good for the result you get! Every person is different and everyone will have different results and possibly different reactions, that is not the doctors fault. Some procedures just are not meant to be for some, dont blame the doctor. Dr. Stanton is a professional, & knows what he's doing! read more

I've had 2 surgeries with Dr. Ryan Stanton and I must say he is the BEST!!!!! He is very honest about what he can do for you; and very informative regarding the healing process. I've had 2 prior BBL from different doctor and it didn't last, and I felt like it was a total waste of money. I decided to try butt implants instead and my results are excellent. My results was soooooo good that I went back for a second set of butt implants because I wanted them bigger. Overall I will say Dr. Stanton is an excellent doctor and very personable. read more

Dr. Stanton is amazing!!! I went in for a complimentary consult for a breast augmentation. It was easy to get an appointment. Mindy, the patient coordinator, was so sweet and helpful. Dr. Stanton was so kind. I had met with several plastic surgeons to get the best idea of cost, and an overall idea of my options. Dr. Stanton gave me options as to what I could do. I decided to go with him because he was the most easy going guy, but he was meticulous and very thorough. I've never had surgery before so I was very hesitant and nervous. He made me feel safe and comfortable. It's now been 3 months since my surgery and I couldn't be happier. The nurse, anesthesiologist and tech really made me feel comfortable since I was soooo nervous. I'm so grateful I found the best plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.

I have been to a lot of plastic surgeons for various procedures (only 2 actual surgeries to date and I am 55 years). I have to say that this was one of the best experiences in a doctor's office I have ever had that I was so inclined to write a review even though I"m not technically saavy. Clean, clean, clean. I did not feel rushed. While I waited maybe fifteen minutes, I was greeted by a friendly and informative staff. I was the only person in the office which was explained by saying he did not like to jam pack his schedule so that he had enough time to meet with each patient. BRAVO!. All my questions were answered and his prices were beyond reasonable. The lovely girl he works with helped me every step of the way and my experience was so painless and easy, I would do it all over again. Hardly any scars and back to work in a week. This doctor is highly reccommended and I don't feel the need to ever go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Stanton! read more

TERRIBLE SURGEON...DO NOT GO!! If he messes up I'm any which way. He will not take responsibility for it! He try to blame the patient in the end. Total nightmare of a breast augmentation. Money down the drain... And a surgeon who won't take responsibility whatsoever!! read more

Had an appointment for lip enhancement and botox. Both treatments went ok. Although I do believe that their pricing for botox is a bit much and they do not charge per unit, it is per area! Following treatment, I have a lump in my lower lip and my eyebrows dropped a little. Unhappy with both treatments. Went back in to speak about this to the dr. and re: lip enhancement he said to massage the lump and if it does not go away, he will have to make an incision in the lip, the issue with the botox was completely ignored. Dr. Stanton's exact response was: well, next time we'll do it differently. This was my first time doin botox and I have no idea if there are doctors out there who would "fix" the type of issue that I had, but nonetheless I was not happy with the customer service at all. I have been a client for years and I was definitely expecting better treatment. Going to take my business elsewhere. read more

Stay away from this facility. He is a hack surgeon with a Beverly Hills address. He did a bad job on my surgery and expects to be paid again to fix it! His bedside manner is atrocious! And, be careful of his mood swings which seem to be related to his obvious use of steroids. This was money thrown down the drain. The promises he made were not kept and the results were far from what was discussed at my appointments. Beware of this guy! read more

After visiting many doctor's offices, i found this one to be the most comforting. While they use "modern" in their title, there is a definite sense of of comfort and warmth here I had not been able to find in other offices.

If you are nervous at all about surgery, this is definitely a place that will make you feel at ease. A place to trust. read more

I had my procedure today and Iam more than happy I went! The staff Mindy and Jazmin were both friendly and helpful. Also I felt safe there and trust dr ryan stantons work! I was referred there by friends and I love what they got done as well. Please if your getting butt implants in LA, go to DR stanton. My results are amazing. I like to go for a natural look and dr Stanton was able to do that! I can't wait to be healed and show off my new body! Also, I expected a harsh recovery, in comparasson to other procedures I have had this is my least painful. Everyone's pain tolerance is different I feel fine and do not need meds, only rest. However Iam able to walk and use the restroom on my own. This is the best surgery experience I have had. :) thank you dr stanton! Updated review; it's been almost a week and my surgery was a success. Alarmingly painless, but it's because I was smart and went with a small natural look! read more
