    3 years post op !

    Just wanted to share a 3 years post op! I AM OBSESSED Thank you Dr. Ip!!! I wouldn't have trusted anyone else!

    I met Dr. Ip in 2004 when I was interviewing surgeons for breast surgery post kids. Out of several doctors he made me feel most comfortable and confident in his skills and experience. That said, I booked breast implant surgery with him. Over the years since, I've had several surgeries preformed by Dr. Ip and have always loved my results. In addition, his kindness and care is like no other. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ip. Highly recommend!

    Rhinoplasty and septoplasty review: I have the nose of my dreams thanks to the skill and diligence of Dr. Ip. He recently performed a comprehensive rhino and septo combo on my nose. He fixed my deviated septum, removed my dorsal hump and gave me a perfect tip. He also made other adjustments to the slope of my nose. I have contemplated getting my nose redone for 10 years and I could not think of a better surgeon to go on this journey with. When I first met him, he intuitively guided me to the subtle adjustments that would aesthetically balance my face. He was at ease, relaxed and confident. I had consulted with other surgeons who told me that they would place dramatic cuts under my nose and even mentioned that I may need a revision as I have an ethic Indian nose. Big yikes. We always have to place trust in the surgeon's vision so it was a big decision. Combine that with the fact that you can't even gauge the result till two weeks after the procedure. During that period of suffering, you have to relinquish all anxiety and manifest that the results are there.Dr. Ip delivered on all counts. After surgery, I had bruising for about three days and was on liquids for 5 days. With diligent icing all day, the bruising was easily brought under control. The first three days are rough but I assure you that you will survive them. The biggest challenge was breathing through my mouth due to the congestion. If you take some Sudafed and drink water continuously, you will be fine. The pain is bearable and for me, I only took Tylenol. No prescription meds were needed. I stocked up on ample vitamin C rich foods and drank copious amounts of protein shakes. Also used facial cleansing wipes about three times a day and washed my hair salon style for about two weeks. Three weeks later, I have minimal swelling, breathing is better and I feel completely at peace.

    Post Op 4 wks recovery. I'm loving my new body.

    After having 3 kids my body was destroyed and I just hated how I looked in tight clothes. I told myself when I hit 40 that I was going to give myself a Mommy Makeover. Dr. Steven Ip is very honest with what I should do and shouldn't do. I just had this really good feeling about him so I decided to pick him as my doctor. The work he did on me was lip fillers, breast lift ( no implants), tummy tuck, lipo of the double chin, knees, thighs, and love handles. The result turned out really good and the incision cuts he did on me was perfect. My recovery was very easy and painless. Today, was the first day since 16 yrs that I went out wearing a basic tight tank top and it looked good on me. Thank-You Dr. Steven Ip for your Amazing Work!!! And for giving me my confidence back.

    Long overdue review for Dr. Ip. He was the first and only consultation I went to when looking to get a breast augmentation. It's always nerve wracking to talk about a surgical procedure, but Dr. Ip and his staff made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions/concerns I had. He staff was very helpful in helping me select a size. She sent me photos of other girls with similar body types. I heard stories of other people's recovery process and how difficult it was. Mine was fairly easy and I was even able to run errands with my husband the day after. I didn't see any customer pictures of post procedure so I figured I would share mine. I tried to find patients' personal photos of his work before my surgery, but wasn't able to find too many at the time I was researching. However, rest assured because he is truly a master of his craft. Photos were taken 1-1.5 years after with 330cc size. This brought me from 32A to 32D (D was not my intention, but just ended up being so). Hope this helps for others who are considering! P.S. Dr. Ip is a huge dog lover. You might get to meet his adorable pup, Sammy!

    I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Kosins and his office staff. I called Dr. Kosins's office…read morebecause I was having severe pain in one breast. His office arranged to have me seen by Dr. Kosins immediately. Dr. Kosins identified the problem which was an encapsulated breast implant and was able to have me scheduled for surgery the following week. I was very skeptical about undergoing surgery because I have severe sleep apnea and a vocal cord paralysis. Dr. Kosins provided me with words of reassurance, which gave me the confidence to move forward with the procedure. The surgery went forward without any complications, and my pain decreased significantly. Now it is totally gone. Dr. Kosins was very knowledgeable about complications with breast implants and handled the situation brilliantly. I am very pleased with my results. His office staff is also very friendly and professional. The post operative care provided by his staff was top notch. I would recommend Dr. Kosins to anyone who is considering undergoing breast surgery and anyone who is experiencing issues with breast implants. You couldn't find a better care team or be in better hands!

    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.

The procedure was significantly more painful than treatments I've since received elsewhere, and I experienced complications that no patient should have to endure, including permanent scarring and hypopigmentation. Rather than feeling cared for, I felt dismissed throughout the process. After switching providers, the difference was remarkable. My current clinic used modern equipment, explained every step of the treatment, prioritized my comfort, and has achieved better fading with far less trauma to my skin. Looking back, I sincerely wish I had gone somewhere else from the beginning. Tattoo removal is already a long process, and patients deserve a provider who combines technical skill with compassion. This was my personal experience, but I hope it helps others make an informed decision before committing to treatment.

I have had several procedures performed by him, and throughout every experience, I have been incredibly impressed by his expertise, attention to detail, artistry, and genuine commitment to achieving the very best possible outcome. For my facial procedure, he performed a lower face and neck lift with temporal tightening, fat grafting to my temples, cheeks, and nasolabial fold, and CO2 laser resurfacing. The results have been beautiful, and most importantly to me, natural looking. He has an incredible eye for proportion and balance, and I never feel like I look "overdone." My breast surgery was considerably more complex. He performed bilateral implant removal, bilateral capsulectomies, replacement of the bilateral implant, bilateral capsulorrhaphies reinforced with mesh, and Wise-pattern mastopexies. This was a complicated revision requiring extraordinary level of surgical precision and planning. He managed the entire procedure with what I can only describe as PERFECTION. The results are beautiful, balanced, and FAR BEYOND what I had hoped was possible. What sets Dr. Kaidi apart is that he combines tremendous technical skill with an artist's eye. He took time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and I ALWAYS felt that my concerns were heard and that my results were GENUINELY important to him. I NEVER felt like just another patient. I am extremely grateful that I chose him as my surgeon. I have COMPLETE confidence in his abilities and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a surgeon who is HIGHLY SKILLED, METICULOUS, COMPASSIONATE, AND TRULY COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE. I feel beyond fortunate to have been in his hands.
