I knew I wanted to do something to my eye area to look more youthful after 25 years of Botox in my forehead. Funny how things align. Long story short, my mom and I (who has since passed away) were shopping at the cute makeup store in Montecito next to Jeannine's. A woman there was helping us, and my mom, who was 86 at the time, told her she had beautiful skin and lips and asked if she saw someone. She smiled, handed my mom Dr. Yegiyants' business card, and that was that. Fast forward about six months. My injector, Melissa (who had been doing my Botox and filler for years), decided to join Dr. Yegiyants' office. I couldn't believe it! I made an appointment for my Botox and was able to spend a few minutes with Dr. Yegiyants. I went in thinking I needed skin removed from my upper eyelids. She walked in wearing the chicest blue leather dress, gently placed her finger just above my eyebrow, lifted it slightly, and said something like, "All you need is this." Then she added, "Not a surprised look..." I was sold. I didn't need to hear anything else except, "When can we schedule it?" About a month later, I had my brow lift. I honestly didn't do much research because I believe that when things align like this, they're meant to be. On the day of surgery, I was dropped off feeling completely at ease. From the moment I walked in, the office felt like family. Everyone there is genuinely kind, warm, and caring. I even had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Yegiyants' husband, who also works in the office. The surgical suite is immaculate, private, and welcoming. Once I was in my cozy pre-op outfit, the nurses kept me laughing and completely entertained. I wasn't nervous for a second. Before surgery, Dr. Yegiyants came in, carefully looked me over, and we reviewed the plan one more time. It was such a comforting moment. She looked like an astronaut in all of her surgical gear, and somehow that made me smile. I went into surgery with a forehead that had always felt heavy. I came out looking lighter, happier, and more feminine--while still looking like myself. I saw Dr. Yegiyants the very next day and returned for several follow-up visits. Everything healed beautifully, and I always felt completely cared for. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Yegiyants and her entire team. They are exceptionally professional, compassionate, and talented. If you're wondering whether you should do it, my answer is yes. You'll probably ask yourself why you waited so long. She takes incredible care of her patients from beginning to end, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. read more

I had to go to UCLA to have a doctor, Dr Crisera, fix what Sara Yegiyants did. I had to go through the entire anchor surgery again, on both breasts, and he had to take fat from my outer thighs and hips then transfer it to the areas that she made concave from her taking too much out with the wand. Dr Crisera did a great job, but there were mistakes that he could not correct i.e my breast size, and some of the fat that was transferred went away. I have to look, and deal with her horrible work every day - she ruined my breasts. She made one much smaller and longer/droopier than the other. She also deflated me, so they now have the effect of a saggy, stretched out balloon. She did this to me a while ago, but I am still suffering from the effects. read more

Sara Yegiyants, MD - I had surgery during the pandemic and this is the results of my nose. - Medical Spas Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Samira Spantman RN: this review is for you! Thank you for the extra TLC you demonstrated when I arrived for my BBL appointment (Jan. 19, 2023) with a bruised nose acquired that very morning when I jumped over a creek and slammed my face into an oak branch. No gazelle am I;) I appreciate your encouraging words, and more so, the progress my skin has made because of your professional skill and helpful suggestions about which skincare products are most beneficial. As directed, I utilized Alastin INhance post Injection Serum to the bridge of my nose. It really made a difference! The day-after bruising I'd expected never materialized. I'll post a pic here of my face on the morning following my appointment. In the photo, I'm still a wee bruised, and slightly pink from the BBL treatment, yet I can definitely tell how the quality of my skin has improved since becoming a patient of Sara Yegiyants MD FACS. Your devoted fan, Rebecca read more

First off, she is an intelligent doctor that helps you understand the process. My procedure was a major reconstruction of my breast with fat grafting. She is meticulous when it came to: Explaining the procedure, medication prep,surgery, healing process and recovery. The surgery center was extremely clean and the staff well educated. Worth it when you fear for your health. I was very scared and they still reach out to comfort me and ask how I'm healing. Here are a few tips: Buy the before and after healing vitamins. Get a second rib section wrap from them. Listen to her instructions and understand she's seen it all. Be honest about any problems you've had in the past with her regarding meds, infections and with the anesthesiologist as well before your procedure. Be prepared at home for at least a week. I can't say enough thanks to her and her staff and the surgery center for helping me. read more

I could not be more disappointed. (And I'm even left to ask: Are you kidding?) Please read the fine print on Sara Yegiyantis's client forms. There's a charge to "schedule" appointments (huh, what?) and a $250 fee for rescheduling, even if it's weeks before. I scheduled for two things: a cyst on my left hand (little finger knuckle) and an "age spot" on my left cheek. I had an initial visit, an "assessment" they say, for which I was charged. Subsequently, I had a "treatment" visit whereupon I was told that I would have to repeat the treatment for the spot on my left cheek.., likely 2 more times (never suggested before) and was of course charged. And was referred to a "hand specialist" to treat the cyst on my left hand. Another "initial" visit (charged again) and subsequent surgical visit. That's not at all representative of the treatment plan suggested at any preliminary office visits with Dr. Yegiyantsand in the end essentially achieving no results at her office. In the end, I was ripped off. And I don't want you to be ripped off, too. I encourage you to seek another professional, and to avoid Sara Yegiyants. Elaine Cromwell read more

1. Had a reconstructive surgery with Dr Y June 2023. Both implants rotated after only 4 weeks. When I informed the MD I was asked "to flip it back" vie email, with no instructions on how to perform this maneuver. Didn't get an appointment scheduled for follow up for another 6 days. Once in office she was unable to rotate the right implant manually. Ordered an ultrasound. Called multiple times to receive ultrasound results. 7 days later and another phone call to the office. I finally received an email with "normal" results but no instructions as to: follow up, further exams, further instructions. Nothing. So was I just going to live with this deformed implant? 2. I had consented to receive fat grafting to both breast but only had it on the right. When I questioned her about why this was she didn't give a straightforward answer. Now that left implant rotates frequently and I have to manually pull on my chest and move the implant back into the right direction. So unacceptable. 3. She continued to tell me I had great results but my breast are different sizes and my implants are flipped? She said my implants would look better if I lost 40lbs and recommended an injected medication for weight loss. I am disappointed in her care and follow through. I will never recommend her for reconstructive surgery. She caters to the uber wealthy. It is very apparent that reconstruction patients are not her priority which is very sad because these surgeries have a profound effect on our livelihood. read more

Not only is Dr. Yegiyants a brilliant and accomplished doctor, but she is also a true artist and compassionate healer. At the time of this writing, I am 7 days post-op after a breast reduction/lift I have wanted for years. From the first consult, I knew I was in the right place. When I nervously explained what I wanted and showed her the area that was the root of my most profound insecurity, she earnestly said they were beautiful while validating my pursuit of the surgery at the same time. This helped my mindset greatly. She and her staff treated me with kindness and respect the whole time. This experience is not only life-changing due to the surgery experience and results, but it has allowed me to face many medical fears and forge a new relationship with medical care overall. I am very happy and look forward to many years of good health thanks to my new relationship with medicine. Thanks a million! We are very lucky to have Dr. Yegiyants in Santa Barbara. read more

Fan for life! I had a breast re-aug and correction of different sized & shaped breasts. She took a little fat from my tummy and used it in my smaller breast and did a small lift on the larger side. I experienced some pretty severe nerve pain and she was so kind and accomodating. She also loved my off the wall sense of humor. :) I'll be back for more AND have referred my mom. Her staff also ROCKS. read more

I was referred to Dr. Yegiyants by two prominent physicians in Santa Barbara because I had not obtained the results I had desired from a former physician. Dr. Yegiyants was able to correct the issue to my satisfaction, and I was completely thrilled with the results. Dr Yegiyants is a very thoughtful and intelligent physician who has a calm and professional bedside manner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She always takes the time to answer my questions and I never feel rushed or pushed into doing a procedure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I value her professional opinions and trust her judgement. The office staff is amazing, and her office is impeccably clean. I am glad that I was referred to her, and I will continue to refer others to her as well. Thank you, Dr Yegiyants! read more

Dr. Sara Yegiyants and her amazing assistant, Christina, are the most kind, accommodating, comforting, and talented in the business! They helped me with numerous things including quality skin care suggestions/products for oily skin. They check in with you on a regular basis through text and email, being caring and down to earth on professional level. Their office is extremely clean with a very cozy waiting area, up to date reads, and a cute little digital fireplace to make you feel at home. Though you will not have to wait there long as they are always right on the ball getting you in and out as you need. Dr. Yegiyants is well diversified in her practices and has very up to date knowledge. She really sees the whole picture front start to finish and will calmly explain each step and each optional direction things can go. She's someone you can really trust, takes her work very seriously, and always looks out for her patient's best interest. Definitely recommend! read more

Sara Yegiyants, MD - Oil wipes - Medical Spas Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Don't let this woman take your money or do any procedure. I had a neck tightening done and half of my neck is hanging and it looks worse than before. Overpriced and overrated. Beware! Edit: yes one side of my neck has improved. No you cannot post it on the internet. The other side that hangs is not improved. All I wanted was for all of my neck to be improved, not just one side. So now it looks worse because one side is lower than the other. Especially paying $14,000, I should have high expectations. Sounds like you're saying your patients should have low expectations when they come to you. I can see why. I've had other cosmetic procedures done by several other doctors and I have never been dissatisfied as I am with what you did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You've done nothing but blame me for things from consult to post op.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You shamed me for wanting general anesthesia by telling me no one else ever gets it for these 3 procedures I got, you shamed me for being uncomfortable and in pain with the thread in my neck by telling me no other patients have gotten upset over it and blaming the unevenness on one side of my neck with sleeping on my right side when I didn't.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And stalking my previous reviews is creepy and very unprofessional![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whatever makes you feel better about your botched surgeries. Get a new profession where compassion is not required. read more

Waited a year to right this review. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET A RHINOPLASTY READ ON. Basically- do not get a rhinoplasty from Dr. Yegiyants if you want something that looks like an actual nose job. Apparently she's good with all of her other procedures but I really should've gone with someone else when I sought out a rhinoplasty. I asked her to straighten out my nose because i had a slight hump; a few month post surgery my nose looked OK, but fast forward 1 full year when it was supposed have to healed and taken its "final form," it pretty much looks the same as before. I spent a huge chunk of my savings on this surgery and I will honestly say it was the biggest mistake/waste of money I have ever spent in my life. I'm sure she's great with other procedures but if you are trying to get a rhinoplasty - LOOK ELSEWHERE!! I learned my lesson. read more

My experience with Dr. Yegiyants and the entire office was nothing short of impressive. Dr. Yegiyants attention to detail and artistry is unmatched. A superb and caring surgeon I knew I was in safe and caring hands for a facelift. Guiding me through the surgical experience and post operative process was beyond my expectations. No detail, concern or question was ignored making me feel safe and secure in her hands. Dr. Yegiyants advice and and honesty was so appreciated - she wants the best results for you! I cannot recommend her enough and think anyone considering cosmetic surgery should make her the #1 choice! read more

More blame by her. After my first review of her at 3 months are when the problems began occurring. Just look at my second belly button picture and scar. Botched!!!! I workout like a crazy person and am a vegetarian. My weight is the same as before and after surgery. As soon as the swelling went down I was left with a mess. Definitely doesn't look like I had surgery/lipo. I communicated all of my concerns repeatedly through the year after post op and was always blown off. "It will get better" "you're not fully healed". "Wait until 1 year, give it time". My need of a blood transfusion was because of surgery. Nothing else. My labs were normal prior to surgery and severely abnormal afterwards. I'll contact the surgery center for estimated blood loss. Per every other dr I've seen, the surgery is the only reason for this. !! I can't count how many times I returned to her office with problems. Driving 3 hours total there and back each time. Who would want to do that. I agree communication is key, but when it isn't reciprocated, there is a problem. Very sad that she cannot accept any criticism or accountability. Run don't walk away from this Dr. if I could go back, I would've seen a different surgeon. Live and learn. Just want to warn our community and people to at can't afford to have it fixed. She wanted me to pay for her to fix it. I'm out of money with a body that looks like this. No thanks!! read more

My experience with Dr. Yegiyants has been phenomenal! She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, caring...and delivers results.

During my consultation, she took the time to analyze all my facial features and tell me exactly what the surgery plan would be.

She has such an artistic eye and made sure my nose fit with my face perfectly, I absolutely love my nose!

I cannot recommend Dr. Yegiyants enough! I recently went in to see her because of a deviated septum and a nose that I had always been self-conscious about. She was very thorough and walked me step by step through my first major surgery. The amazing staff, especially Christina, answered any questions I had day or night. They made me feel so comfortable with something I had been nervous to do. Overall my new nose is STUNNING!

Dr. Yegiyant is truly an artist. read more
