Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery

Dr. Hallak is simply AMAZING! I had a breast lift and augmentation back in July 2013 with a surgeon in La Jolla, very expensive surgery, but I had believed that expensive meant the best. I was so wrong! I was never totally pleased with the results but I had no other option than accept the look of my breasts. In January 2015 I had my first mammogram and it was a total disaster! The muscle covering the implants got torn and the implants dropped. I could feel them right under my skin. Of course the mammogram clinic makes you sign a waiver saying that they are not responsible for any damage to implants. When I noticed that something was wrong, I went to see the surgeon in La Jolla and left his office feeling very disappointed and angry, he said that the repair of the muscles was going to cost me over half of the amount that I had payed for the lift and implants! A couple of months ago I decided to go see Dr. Hallak and he immediately explained that what had happened could be easily fixed. He was so kind, honest and professional that I knew right away that I wanted him to do my surgery! I was also given a much more reasonable quote, so I asked him to schedule my surgery as soon as possible. The office staff was also very nice and professional. Dr. Hallak repaired the muscles in both breasts, re-positioned the implants (now they look fuller and closer) and revised the scars under the breasts and around the areolas. From the day of the surgery and ever since, Dr. Hallak has been available for me to answer any questions I may have. My surgery was 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love the look of my breasts. This is the exact result that I wanted to achieve in my first and very expensive surgery! My friends and family have told me that I look incredibly good. I’m so happy and thankful I found Dr. Hallak! If you’re looking for a great plastic surgeon in San Diego, schedule a consult with Dr. Hallak, you will be in the best hands. I highly recommend him to everyone! LG

I met Dr Guttikonda after a bad experience with another surgeon. My first appointment was very personal and confidential. He explained to me all of his personal information and his years in practice, which most of the Drs. DON'T tell you much. He was very clear and confident of the mastectomy procedure he was going to perform on me and even though I wanted another cosmetic surgery, he said "no, because I have to focus on your cancer surgery first. I can see you after you are cancer free for the other surgery", another Dr would of probably answered differently. My husband and I are very happy with the way he explains everything to us, like if we had been friends for a long time. We truly recommend Dr. Guttikonda 100%.

Don’t waste your time coming here or with him. Upon getting my surgery (360 lipo/bbl), his nurse basically kicked me out my recovery room because she was off at a certain time!!! This is fuckin unprofessional! She kept going in and out of my room asking me what time was I going to get picked up bc her shift was done at 9am and it was about 7:30/8am!! Keep in mind, No one ever told me the time I would be discharged or anything & I was freshly out from my surgery. I decided to get dressed (ON MY OWN, bleeding and all) and make my way out of the hospital. At this point I knew she knew I was very upset. When I got downstairs, I called DR Gustavo & he did not answer. I then text him about the incident and he responded HOURS later apologizing and saying that the nurse had given me a time frame in which I was going to be released. THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE. About 2 weeks passed and I texted him again regarding my stitch removal. HE NEVER BOTHERED TO REPLY TO ME. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME!!!!

Dr. Ha is skilled, forthright & has an awesome, no-nonsense attitude. His confidence & decisive personality put me at ease & I had no concerns going into surgery. Thank you, Dr. Ha - I feel so much better & am grateful you were on staff at Palomar ;)

This is the best place for skin peels and botox treatments that I have been to. Sara and Lita are so nice and caring. The place is beautiful and relaxing. There is a little skin bar with testers of the products they offer. I ended up purchasing the TNS eye cream and TNS serum which has helped my skin look so bright and healthy. The botox treatments are fabulous and a great price! Thanks Dr. Moradi, I'll be back soon.

Dr. Powell is an awesome caring surgeon. My Tummy Tuck came out amazing and I am so happy with my results. I have a very low scar, and it healed without any complications. He prepared me well for my procedure. I feel he and his staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to make sure I was healing properly. They called and checked in on me in between follow up appointments. After several consultations with different doctors, I'm glad I chose Dr.Powell. He is truly a master at his craft. Thanks Dr. POWELL!

I had 2 botched plastic surgeries done by Dr Ousterhout. Even after numerous corrective surgeries to correct what he had done wrong to me, I still suffer from his devastating mistakes done on me as of today

Dr. P and the staff at Faces First are just wonderful. It feels like you are visiting with girlfriends instead of a doctor's appointment. Everyone there is so nice and knowledgeable.

Great MedSpa services. And the front office girls are lovely. Debbie is a great aesthetician and over the past month we have been working together to clear up some problematic adult acne (I had became overloaded on drugstore and beauty counter brands my face had had enough) we started on day one with a deep skin analysis and history and she wanted an idea of what my goals where and recommended a gentle skinceutucals micro peel to start (which my skin did fine with) and she set me up with a few products that she recommended, as at home routine plays a big part in skin health and helps with the progress of her in office treatments. These products where by skinceutucals as well ; which Is a great medical grade line that I had used previously and had good results using their cleansers and moisturizers. The corrective products included a retinoid as well as moisturizer serums to help the cell turnover process and chemical exfoliation. I also started a hyluranic acid which is amazing and Would recommend to anyone looking for skin suppleness. Colorado is so dry everyone can use more moisture ! Debbie gave me samples as well as the office provided a discount on the ful size products I wished to purchase. This is a great way to step into a higher end routine. Over the past month with the first and second peels used in conjunction with the corrective products I invested in, I have noticed a vast improvement in skin clarity and tone as well as most notable my pore size and pore congestion around my t-zone and cheeks (which she is working on also with extractions.) im so excited to see how far she’s able to go in giving me clear even skin. Great experiences so far- Clean office, great product lines , Very reasonable rates for service and knowledgeable staff all said I would recommend a++.
