Center For Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery, PC : Dr. Fara Movagharnia

I've had a total of 2 procedures done with Dr. Fara Movagharnia. I am happy with my result so far. He is a phenomenal surgeon that really understands his patient’s needs. He has an excellent bedside manner and very responsive to my questions and concerns. The staff is wonderful — overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend.

My experience with staff was great but my surgery results were horrible and when I consulted with him about what could be done to fix my horrible results his office quoted me an additional price of about 5000.00 to fix what he had done 8 months before I was totally bummed about this so . I will post pictures of My surgery during my recovery which took longer because one of my arms and breast wouldn’t heal. I a currently seeking help with this issues. All surgeons should hold a higher level of integrity in their work and execution means everything , my surgery lack this perfectionist he claims he is..

My name is Timothy Edwards and I really appreciate Dr. Movagharnia and his staff. He is the first doctor that really talked to me and explained the process of the surgery and all the events that would happened pre and post surgery. Also he is the first doctor in my four reconstructive surgeries to give me his personal number and call me to make sure that I am alright the night of the surgery. He is not a rock star but a simple man doing great and awesome works for people that come under his care. God bless you Sir and all your future endeavors and family's endeavors as well.

Do NOT go here!!!!!!!! I went to Dr. Movagharnia resefor breast augmentation with the end goal of full B cup from a 32 A cup & was very specific in my request for having natural looking breasts. I wanted to stay proportionate. Not only did he convince me to do over the muscle surger my research for under the muscle preference, but he recommended I had 400ccs to reach my goal of a FULL B cup. He convinced me to get a larger dose of CCS because they would "diminish in size after the surgery". He is the doctor so I believed his recommendation & agreed. After the surgery they looked massive. But when I would go for a check up he would keep saying don't worry they'll go down in size. "you're just swollen". So careless. He barely remembered who I was after only the 3rd checkup. I was just another form of income to them. They came out after the fluff & drop process to be DOUBLE D'S. I'm furious. I'm no longer proportionate & they look obscene on me. In addition to his antiquated, unprofessional, carelessness, & inconsideration he charged me a fortune. After hidden fees the procedure came to be about $7200 when he originally told me $6200. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

I was referred to Dr Movagharnia approximately one year ago by a friend. During my initial consultation, I was impressed so I elected to proceed with my breast augmentation. Following my surgery, significant complications arose and I feel strongly that Dr. Movagharnia abdicated his duty to me as a patient and failed to meet the standard of care in my follow-up treatment. My experience was as follows: • Dr. Movagharnia performed my surgery through the nipple. While one incision was beautiful, the other was haphazard. • Immediately following my surgery, during what would be a standard recovery time, I experienced tremendous bruising and immense pain. The pain forced me to take an extended leave of absence from work. • Approximately five weeks post-op, I began to feel hardening and discovered a deformity in one of my breasts. I shared these discoveries with Dr. Movagharnia immediately and he expressed little concern. I was still concerned, however, and made an appointment with him, during which he told me I was fine and that I should massage the breast. • Approximately four to six weeks after that encounter, there was no improvement in my condition and my breast continued to harden. I made another appointment with the physician and he diagnosed me with stage 3 capsular contracture. He immediately performed a closed capsulotomy in the office. This procedure was incredibly painful and voided the warranty of the implant. More importantly, however, as I am a medical professional, I later discovered through medical literature research and consultation with other surgeons that this is an antiquated procedure that has not been common in plastic and aesthetic surgery since the 1980s. • After this procedure, Dr. Movagharnia stopped all contact with me and no longer checked on how I was progressing with recovery from capsular contracture. • The closed capsulotomy did not resolve my issues, so I tried an ultrasound procedure called Aspen in an attempt to avoid another surgery. Aspen was unsuccessful because my capsular contracture was too advanced. • I found a new surgeon who specializes in repairing unsuccessful augmentation. He informed me that I needed surgery as soon as possible to avoid permanent deformity. He also immediately put me on Singulair and two other supplements, offered the medical journal articles to back these medications, and followed my progress weekly until he could operate. • I underwent a second surgery with this new surgeon soon thereafter. After my surgery, he informed me that the surgery was so lengthy because my complications were unlike “anything he had ever seen” and required study to best address them. In the end, he discovered more scar tissue than he had ever seen, one implant was folded in half inside the pocket, and three to four pockets under and over the muscle in each breast. Even though this surgeon had to address multiple complications arising out of my procedure and recovery with Dr. Movagharnia, my recovery time was much quicker and easier due to the professionalism and care of my second surgeon. My surgery was on a Friday and I was back to work on Tuesday. I even attended a party on Saturday night. He follows me very closely (at first weekly, then biweekly, now monthly) and I am still on several meds to prevent capsular contracture. My new breasts look amazing thanks to his diligence in his repairs. My total out-of-pocket cost for this entire experience was just shy of $17,000. Exacerbating that cost is the fact that Dr. Movagharnia did not give me informed consent about the implant warranty requirements. He provided contradictory information every time I addressed the issue and none of my complications were covered. I am working two jobs to cover these costs that should have never been incurred in the first place. While I recognize my experience does not bear on other surgeries performed by Dr. Movagharnia, the pain that I suffered and the dangerous risk of deformity to which I was exposed compels me to not recommend him to anyone considering a breast augmentation.
