am a 69 year old male in good health who decided to have an upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty I researched this project extensively and met with 4 different eye facial surgeons in Manhattan- the research process and interview process took the better part of 3 months In the end I decided to go with Dr Halaas. Her presentation and extensive knowledge during my initial consult impressed me extensively - she was very knowledgeable in the procedure , and was very transparent about expectations and what I could expect as a final result and what would not happen as a final result Her honesty was very much appreciated and reassuring I left her office with an immediate feeling that she was the one to operate on my eyes Her Pre Op and Post Op written instructions were very detailed , clear and well thought out - Proper Prep Pre Op and Post Op Care is a key factor on the final result The team in her office are super nice , compassionate , understanding The day of the surgery, surprisingly I wasn't nervous at all ! The surgery went well and the recovery process was smooth, predictable and successful I love the final result - eyes look amazing but natural !!! Doesn't look weird or like someone completely changed them - one of her comments at the initial consult was that she would make me a better version of myself insofar as the eyes are concerned - that is so true Dr Halaas is a gifted , kind and knowledgeable surgeon and I would rate her a 10+ I couldn't be more happier with the entire process start to present! I have seen her 3 times since the surgery for follow up so she encourages follow up and is engaged in the recovery process If you're considering this type of surgery , look no further than Dr Halaas Rob S read more

Came in on Tuesday for a laser procedure to eliminate some broken blood vessels on my cheeks and nose, which weren't a huge deal to others but for me, it made me self-conscious. After reading reviews of Britney everywhere online (she works under Dr. Halaas) I decided to choose her for my hydrafacial, dermaplaning and the lasering of the blood vessels on my face. The second you walk into Brittany's room, it's like stepping into an oasis. The ambience that she provides is an equal balance of hospital like sterilization and an Italian spa on a remote island. I'm not kidding, this girl balances medical grade skincare with the most relaxing soft experience of your life. After she did the hydrafacial and removed the vessels on my cheek, my skin felt rich and plump! Even now at 3 days later my skin looks the exact same and it's been days. If you have any type of imperfections that need to be tended to, take my word for it and book Brittany as soon as possible read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Halaas and her team. She's not only exceptionally skilled at what she does, but also has a wonderful manner--warm, supportive, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to check in with her patients, which means a lot. Her team is equally friendly and professional, and truly reflects her commitment to excellence read more

Dr. Halaas is a magician. She is so skilled with the Exion machine and helped with the R&D of the machine. She's also very warm and takes the time to listen to your concerns. The staff are all so welcoming and the office is STUNNING! 10/10 would recommend. read more

My husband finally commented on my face this morning. He asked why I look so much younger than him when we are only 2 months apart. I just shrugged and said I use sunscreen. Dr Halaas is a true talent. Haven't felt this good in a very long time. What a boost. You gave me back my confidence. read more

The Dr. Halaas is beyond brilliant. Not only is she a fantastic surgeon, she is always on the cutting edge of technology. Between being in the OR, patient rooms, and all the clinical studies she manages to compile and author, I don't know how she does it! read more

I recently had a service done that I had received here previously. This time around I was charged double than what I paid for the service the first time. When I asked about it, I was told they would call me to address it. I never received a call so I called and to "amend" things they gave me a $150 credit - which isn't even half of the amount I was overcharged. Honestly pointless because I don't want to go back and spend money somewhere in which I don't feel respected as a patient/customer, which is unfortunate because I have been going here since 2019 but feel as if my experiences have progressively gotten worse. read more

I got lip fillers and the VIPeel chemical peel and I'm so happy with the results. It was my first time getting filler and the staff walked me through the process and I showed them pictures of what I wanted. Dr. Halaas is so kind and attentive and I LOVE my results and will be going back for more. The chemical peel was recommended for acne and has helped my scars within a week. The staff was kind and the office was clean and professional. I would highly recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

Thank you Micheline at Dr. Halaas office for your knowledge of the options in my endless quest of aging skin concerns. I appreciate your time and feedback with the many questions I always have. You are a Gem in this industry! I also had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Halaas, who checked in on my skin to give her feedback. I was happy to meet Sharona, who's in-depth recommendations helped me decide what route to take and appreciated the detailed step by step of what I would feel as she conducted the treatment. I felt calm & relieved that I was prepared for what it would feel like. As of yesterday, I have completed my 3rd treatment with Sharona & am delighted with what I see and feel so far. Thankful to have been in the "best hands" in the skin-care industry. I absolutely will return for future treatments knowing I would be in "great hands" in this office. Also, Shelby at the front desk, who is so kind and was so helpful with my Alle points program. read more

I saw Nurse Eric at the Manhattan office and LOVE the results. My jawline looks so snatched almost immediately and I left looking so refreshed. I have had filler done other places where it was way overdone, but Eric pays so much attention to detail and your individual face and makes you look younger and very natural. I always leave super happy and get compliments on my skin too. He is my secret weapon! The office staff is also very pleasant and the office very clean and professional. read more

Not a very friendly service. There is a bit of false advertising involved. I was told that I will be seen by Dr. Halaas herself, but it turned out to be her assistant. Some not very nice words were said about my appearance and a state of my skin (yeah, I know - that's why I am reaching out to you). Ended up picking a different doctor. On the plus side, the lady who took my initial call was super nice and accommodating. She gets five stars. read more

Just had a great consult with Mic. I felt very comfortable with her and liked how he addressed all of my concerns & options. Shirona did a fantastic job on my laser hair removal & emsculpt. Felt like I was in good hands & calm. Happy client! Glad to see this office is client focused. read more

I had upper and lower Blepharoplasty. I look amazing! I wish I had pictures - maybe I can get some from Dr. Halaas but check her website. Everyone of the staff supported and helped me tremendously. They even went and got me pizza! I look soooo much younger! My eyelids are no longer hanging down and are symmetrical and the bags under my eyes are gone! I have since gone back for botox and fillers to fine tune things. The follow-up care was great! When I had a problem I texted Dr. Halaas directly and she got right back to me. I am so happy I did it! read more

Went for my first time last week for my lip fillers. As soon as you walked into the office I felt comfortable. Super clean and trendy office. Dr. Halaas and the staff were so friendly and professional. She took her time and her hands were so steady. I really like a full natural look. Best part is that her office allowed me to only use 70% of the juvaderm and come back in 2 weeks to use the rest if I want fuller lips. This is my 2nd year doing lip fillers and I highly recommend her. I wish I would've found her sooner. Im so happy with my results and I will definitely be back. read more

Recent experience with Dr. Halaas was very unpleasant. Miscommunication resulted in a return visit in which I was humiliated and infantilized, never apologized to and shamed. I will NEVER go there again. read more

Dr. Halaas is hands down the best plastic surgeon in NYC. After having a very bad experience with another surgeon I was hesitant to go to her practice. I am so very glad I did. From the moment I stepped through the door her receptionist Sheila greeted me with a smile and made me feel at ease. Her assistant Jessica was also very empathetic, warm and professional. Dr. Halaas is very detail oriented and is practically a magician. Her hands are truly gifted! She was also very warm and understanding and listened to my concerns. Please don't walk. Run to her office. She will take care of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have a patient for life. read more

Just some before and after pics. I've received countless compliments on my youth glow and appearance all thanks to Dr. Halaas and her incredible staff. My skin looks smooth, dewy and all without looking done. DR. Halaas is truly gifted. Thank you!! read more

I went in for a hair consultation and ExoFlo treatment. While the day of the treatment things went well. This review is in regards to my experience with the office after receiving treatment. My medical insurance provides reimbursement of treatments/services paid out of pocket from out-of-network doctors. When trying to obtain the physicians information, their office members were not forthcoming in providing the Tax ID and NPI number of this doctor. I had to speak with the director of patient care who then also was being resistant in providing me the information. He needed to "confirm" with the doctor. Dr. Halaas confirmed the CPT code for the treatment given to me but also provided inaccurate information on her TAX ID and NPI Code. The email from Jonathan also reflect a number that was not to their office. I follow up with my insurance company and was informed that the TAX ID of this doctor and NPI did not match. I highly question this physicians status and what she is actually licensed to practice and service. read more

I am so disgusted by the staff at this office. Two women of color were left ignored and disregarded for nearly an hour, while a white woman who came in AFTER was able to be served and treated like a queen. I have heard great things about the MD, but the office staff is clearly racist. From reading the other reviews it doesn't seem as though this is anything new, either. Absolutely terrible. read more

I really like Dr. Halaas, the office and staff... a very welcoming environment that made me feel comfortable from the start. I saw Dr. Halaas for a series (2) of Kybella Injections for axillary fat (bra roll). I was very self conscious about this area and Dr. Halaas and her team provided the perfect solution. The procedure was relatively quick as Dr. Halaas works with confidence in her execution. This procedure requires multiple injections which were actually very easy to tolerate because of Dr. Halaas's focus. The minor pain that was felt was alleviated both pre-procedure and during with help from the staff. I was able to relax for as long as I needed afterwards to feel comfortable before leaving the offices. Overall my expertise here was top notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Halaas and her office and staff read more

No! Don't do it. Unresponsive to follow up inquiries after taking consultation fee. The office staff is extremely accommodating when you are a new client inquiring of an expensive procedure but once they've pitched you on a high end treatment they no longer respond to inquiries for anything less costly despite advertising their consultation fee as applicable towards any future service. This is a very disappointing business practice and demonstrates the lack of ethics among decision makers at this practice. Shame on everyone involved. read more

I travel from Atlanta to NY three times a year just so I can go to Dr. Halaas. I would not trust my face with anyone else. She's caring, compassionate and extremely skilled. Highly recommended! read more

I had an appointment with Dr. Halaas 3 weeks ago in the Scarsdale office. For starters, the 10 minutes she spent with me were actually me sitting in a chair while she reorganized Tupperware due to her "type A personality". She then ran off and her coordinator Jonathan came down to say he'd email me that day his contact info, pricing, scheduling and photos of before and after photos since they aren't on the site for the procedure I was considering. I never heard from anyone. I called 3 times, I've emailed twice and I even posted on their instagram page. There was no delay on charging my card $200 to go towards a procedure but then they vanished. If this doesn't get me my refund, next stop is the better business bureau. Find another doctor. If a practice isn't reliable, trustworthy and accountable do you really want to entrust them with medical/procedure related things. Reprehensible. I feel the need now to respond to the offices below comment - spare me. If anyone wants me to fwd the multiple unanswered emails, the apology from Jonathan almost THREE weeks later, happy to provide. You don't want bad reviews, don't provide bar service and definitely don't respond to my review with lies to make the entire experience even more insulting. read more

The office and staff are very nice, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I've had my lips done before and had minimal swelling and no bruising. The second I left the office this time the entire right side of my face was bruised and swollen. I could not return to work as people on the street were asking me if I was ok. I know the lips are very vascular and this can happen so I did not stress. It took about two weeks for the swelling and bruising to go down. Now a little over a month out and my top lip is not exactly even. Also, when I smile I have little lumps on the bottom of my top lip that push against my teeth and are not crazy visible, but definitely noticeable to me. I would not say it was a terrible experience, but I also would not go back again. I would instead return to my original Doctor, who is out of state, but did not give me any of these issues. read more

My experience with Dr. Halaas' office was excellent. I was visiting a (girl)friend in New York and she already had an appointment, so I decided to tag along. The girl at the front (I think her name was Erika?) was really nice and funny while we were waiting. Being a very curious person, I was asking her some questions regarding how many men they typically see. I'm at that age where my years in the sun and frowning are starting to take a toll and wrinkles/lines are starting to stay on my forehead. After some encouragement from my friend (and a new patient special they had available) I decided to give Botox a try! I'm a guy... not exactly the most proud to say I've gotten Botox, but they eased my ego by calling it Brotox :) Since I live in California and don't frequent New York THAT often, Dr. Halaas gave me some referrals to consider for back home. She wasn't worried about my business or money; she just wanted to make sure I was in good hands, and I highly appreciated that. read more

Dr. Halaas and her staff are amazing! They were warm and kind from the get-go, putting me right at ease. And Dr. Halaas is personable and friendly while clearly next-level expert at what she does, which is a great combination of qualities in a doctor who is going to be working on one's face! She did Silhouette Instalift threads for me -- the procedure wasn't painful at all, and the recovery was minimal. I've seen patients from other doctors whose entire cheeks were bruised, but I had not one single bruise, and the threads were perfectly placed. I look a few years younger without seeming to have had anything done whatsoever. Absolutely genius work. I highly recommend Dr. Halaas. read more

Being a new Manhattan resident, I can understand how overwhelmingly nerve-wracking looking for a new doctor can be. I am glad to wholeheartedly recommend Yael Halaas and her team. Finding them was a happy accident via Gilt, but I could not be happier with my decision to schedule an appointment with them. Mariesa, the RN, was patient, sweet, and knowledgeable as she answered my 100 questions before getting started. She took copious notes and had took her time understanding my wants, but more importantly, was incredibly friendly and kind. I was only scheduled to see Mariesa, but she kindly pulled Dr Halaas in for a quick consult on a completely different matter, which I thought was really nice. Dr Halaas is sensationally warm, has a great demeanor, and was thoroughly informative. She spent 15 minutes going through my Facebook photos with me looking at pre and post rhinoplasty pictures to decide whether reconstruction was necessary - how nice was that! It's often difficult to find doctoral staff that are both nice AND incredibly well-informed, but look no further. Thanks again, y'all! read more

I want to thank Sharonna Katz Moulay at dr. Halaas office for her professionalism and great work. As we age, our skin needs extra care and Sharonna, a master aesthetician, will give you the gift of a vibrant and youthful look whether you are in your 50s, 60s or even 70s. Just go and see the results of her work! read more

I love Dr Halaas. She is friendly, easy going. Her office is clean and her staff is very professional. I will be going back today for the second time ( Facial ) read more

Dr Halaas helped smooth out my eyes through using Botox, my eyes look so much more less stressed. Brittney, the patient coordinator, was very helpful in explaining skincare and treatment options to me, I booked into see her for a hydrofacial and I can't wait! read more

I love Dr. Halaas. She's so down to earth and so easy going. I felt weird getting plastic surgery because I've watched all the tv shows of what could go wrong but that's not the case here. This is like the place where normal people come to look natural but still look good. Anyways, I had my rhinoplasty done in February and couldn't be happier. There was a celebrity in the waiting room when I came ( out of respect I won't say who) but that made me even more pumped because this person looked awesome. Definitely go to Dr. Halaas, especially if you are nervous. She makes you feel so at ease and explains things so thoroughly. read more

Yael Halaas, MD - Waiting room - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - New York, New York

I have been visiting Dr Halaas for a few years and I am always pleased with my services and have had nothing but positive experiences visiting this office. I have had botox, laser treatments and also eyebrow transplants done by Dr. Halaas. I am pretty picky with my botox but she always seems to get it just right :) The office is clean and the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. I have had a great outcome with my all procedures and would not hesitate in recommending her to any of my friends. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Haalas for over 10 years and there is a reason why. She is an expert. She is trustworthy. I have had different types of treatments done and no matter what one she does a superb job. She cares, She gives great advice and always follows up to be sure you are happy. You are not left out in the cold like with some doctors. Don't trust these roadside "clinics" PLEASE invest in your skin and the doctor you choose. Choose someone who IS a REAL master in their field. I will continue to see her and recommend her to anyone I know because I am confident you will never change once you experience a service. Thank you Dr.Halaas ! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Halaas and her staff. Dr. Halaas is a extremely knowledgeable doctor and you couldn't ask for a more expert doctor to trust with your face! Her patient coordinator Audrey is amazing too, she takes the time to explains the various procedures and how you would benefit. I have gone to Dr. Halaas for botox, fillers and the CO2 Laser and my results have always been flawless. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Halaas! Also, not to get into a long story, but I had a very tramatic situation happen to me and Dr. Halaas and her staff knew what happened and literally made me feel like family. They are the most caring and compassionate people and made me smile for the first time in weeks. I will never forget that and I cannot thank them enough. They are truly great people! read more

The woman who did the treatment defentately didn't use botox and fillers on herself responsibly , so I really don't understand what responsibility you are talking about .She was rude and tryed to sell me treatments I don't need . ....Of course you have a right to say wherever you want , but it is not true .I have really bad experience and that's the truth read more

Some 12 years ago I considered having my lower eyelids done. A friend from business and I decided to see Dr Halaas because she came highly recommended. I looked up her stats and made an appointment. I was very nervous, but from the moment of my first consultation through the surgery she performed, she exuded her professionalism and warmth. I made an appointment for Blepharoplasty on my upper lids and that was the beginning of a wonderful relationship. Although her work was excellent I did have some puffiness under my eyes for longer than I expected. I'm quite certain it was nothing Dr. Halaas did incorrectly. She had called to see how I was feeling and I had mentioned the puffiness. She scheduled an appointment immediately and resolved the problem, which was minor, at no extra cost to me. Since that time, I have had various fillers done with total exuberance. I enjoy seeing her on many levels. She is upbeat, the office is immaculate and professional, and I never feel like just a "number". Recently I had Juvederm Voluma done. Since I bruise quite easily, when I left the office I could not tell what a difference it made. I knew, however, that whatever Dr Halaas does, is done with pride and perfection and the outcome will always be a huge improvement. Three weeks later friends mention I look younger and more exuberant. Not bad!!!! Dr. Halaas never pushes her patients into anything so I always allow her to recommend what is best for me. If you are considering any kind of cosmetic surgery or procedures, it would behoove you to schedule an appointment for a consultation. You will be quite happy at the results read more

I went to Dr. Halaas with the concern of my under eyes/tear troughs. She took all my concerns into consideration and went with the most modest approach of using filler to help me achieve my goal. I was numbed for 30 min and it took her 20 min to inject me. I had no pain and minimal bruising. Couldn't be happier with the result read more

Yael Halaas, MD - Before and after - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - New York, New York

Dr. Halaas and her staff are top notch. In July 2013 I had upper and lower blepharoplasty in her office's surgical suite. The experience was positive from beginning to end, and I have recommended her to friends who've expressed an interest in facial cosmetic procedures. Upon meeting with Dr. Halaas I was impressed by her human, down-to-earth style. She is warm, friendly and engaging. We discussed my face in detail and while I'd only wanted to have my lower eyelids done, she pointed out that my right upper eyelid was pretty droopy and I should consider having my upper eyelids done too. While upper eyelid surgery appealed to me, I was concerned about forming keloids (thick raised scars) as a result. Dr. Halaas assured me that keloids are extremely rare after upper blepharoplasty and that she has yet to see that phenomenon in her practice. Encouraged by her expertise and confidence, I decide to have upper and lower eyelid surgery. Fortunately my eyes have healed beautifully and I have no keloids whatsoever. Lately people comment more than ever on what beautiful eyes I have. Clearly, they are more visible now that the bags above and below my eyes are gone. :-) If you are considering facial cosmetic surgery Dr. Halaas is a solid choice. Her bedside manner, coupled with her excellent credentials, led me to choose her over other surgeons, and I'm happy I did. read more

FANTASTIC service. I LOVE my results so so much. Can't wait to see the final results in a week or so. Highly recommend Dr. Halaas and her team. The time in the waiting room, the bedside manner, and the results right after the procedure are incredible. So enticed to get touched up with Dr. Halaas in the future. read more

Love Dr Halaas! She will up your game. Not only are Dr Halaas and her staff true professionals, but they excel at what they do. My experience with the treatments I've received there have far surpassed any that I had gotten at other offices in the past. I have been to quite a few. What sets them apart is the attention to detail, and excellent patient care. While at her office, I felt as though I was being pampered at a high end spa. More importantly, Dr Halaas is a true artist in her field. Aside from being a master technician, the enhancements she makes always look natural. The worst thing a person can do is to have their face look over done, and exaggerated. At this point, I would not trust anyone else to do the quality work that Dr Halaas does. Not at any price. Bargain basement seekers in this field beware, you will get what you pay for! If you want the best treatments for yourself , then you deserve to go to her office. read more
