My Face/Neck Lift Looks Natural

Facelift
"Since 2002 getting a face/neck lift has been on my wishlist. After a long investigation into finding the right doctor, it was evident that Dr. M was the right one. His perfection to detail and quality of workmanship is exceptional. His creation of "live fill" for use in cosmetic surgery is wonderful as it is the bodies natural fat substance."

Breast Lift - Take Two

Breast Lift
"Dr. M is an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but he is also an artist. He made the shape of my breasts so much better than they were, and better even then I had expected. I am thrilled with the results. He was able to remove my implants, but still create well-shaped and good sized breasts with my own tissue. Dr. M and his staff also take wonderful care of his patients from the initial consult to the post-surgery visits. They are always there to answer phone calls and/or emails or see patients if they have any questions. They are friendly, courteous, professional and very knowledgeable."

Thigh Lift
"Dr. M is the best. He did a fabulous job, the scarring is minimal and my skin has not looked better. In evening out the indentations, My Dr. was able to do what other doctors had not been able to do. He is also kind and very caring, and makes sure that the patient is informed every step of the way. He is always available to answer questions, even well after the surgery."

Tummy Tuck
"Dr. M is simply the best doctor that I could have ever hoped for. He is exceptionally skilled, and did an amazing job. I could not have asked for a better outcome - everything looks great. Dr. M is also a wonderful person. He has a great manner in dealing with patients, he explains everything that he is going to do, and he really listens to what the patient wants. He is the best. I would recommend him without hesitation or reservation. His staff is also very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. The whole experience was so incredibly positive."

My Breast Lift - 47 Y/o, Breasts Grew from 34B to 40D on HRT

Breast Lift
"I had seen Dr. M on Extreme Makeover. Out of all the plastic surgeons featured on these programs, I felt his approach to the problems I was encountering was the most realistic and the least drastic. He, unlike the others, did not push other procedures. He seemed much more down to earth, concerned about the patient's individual needs rather than promoting the "Beverly Hills" image. When I met him in person, I knew I had chosen the right doctor. He was warm, caring and genuine. His staff was, as well. They couldn't do enough for me and I felt that I mattered as a person, not just another 'customer.' I felt so good about Dr. M and his staff that I subsequently returned for another pro- cedure and will see him soon to correct a badly botched nose job. I recommend him because he's a skilled surgeon and a concerned doctor. He stands way above the others I have met and used in the past."

"I had a great experience with my Dr! He is very honest about expected results, pros, and cons of the procedure. He is an extremely skilled surgeon. I love my results and I had only minor discomfort following the procedure. I was very impressed because I did not have any bruising at all after my surgery. He works with an amazing anesthesiologist, this surgery was the first time I did not get nauseated or sick from anesthesia. Also, his staff is so nice and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Dr. M to anyone. He may be a little more expensive than some other surgeons. However, you get what you pay for, and I was not willing to compromise long term results for cost. I completely trust him and he is the only plastic surgeon I would consider going to for any future procedures. After seeing my results my mom is seriously considering having breast implants done by Dr. M!"

Bad Nose Job Revision, Cheek Lift and LiveFill - Beverly Hills, CA

Revision Rhinoplasty
"Dr. Moelleken spent as long as I needed for the initial consultation and answered all my questions and concerns. I had additional questions that popped up after my first consultation and made another appointment to discuss these issues. He gave me the same courtesy and professionalism as the first appointment. I decided to do the surgery one year later and was grateful that his office did not call me to pressure me to make the surgery appointment. His work speaks for itself and he doesn't need to employ strategies to get people to make their surgery appointment. The after care follow-up was thorough and the longest I waited was 15 minutes for follow-up care. The payment process was effortless, thanks to Penny, and his surgical team was courteous and professional."

Best Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon - Hands Down - Beverly Hills, CA

Tummy Tuck
"Absolutely amazing. I was researching "seroma" because I developed one this morning, 18 days post-op. Called Dr. Moelleken, they were willing and able to get me in right away to address the issue. Because of my schedule I can't go in until tomorrow afternoon. He and his staff are so responsive! I had quite a few different procedures in one day, and am absolutely thrilled with the results - and today is only day 18! I feel amazing, my energy is good, and the results are so incredible. I look forward to waking up every day to see what new improvements my face and body are making. Yeah Dr. Moelleken! I wish I would have done this years ago."


A Dream Come True Doctor - Beverly Hills, CA

"Let me just start off by saying- I think Dr. M is exceptionally talented and an artist with all parts of the human body. I have been a long time patient and I can assure you, Dr. M has my business for life. I had breast augmentation and tummy tuck with Dr. Moelleken and I couldn't be happier with the result of either of the procedures. I am thrilled and the results surpassed my expectations! I found that Dr. Moelleken is extremely caring and attentive to his patients- you can tell he's not just in it for the money, which is refreshing. Many doctors in this field especially in Beverly Hills tend to be full of themselves and often don't give the kind of patient care that can make a big difference in our experience and good healing. Dr. Moelleken is a perfectionist; he takes pride in his work and sees you regularly during your recovery to make sure everything is healing as planned. He took every call and email without hesitation and responded immediately. I can’t say enough good things about him. I recommend anyone and everyone to him. His staff phenomenal and treat you like family. I am very grateful to him and his team; I couldn't possibly have asked for a more positive experience and outcome. My family and I will confidently continue to use Dr. Moelleken's artistry and expertise for our future plastic surgery needs, as they arise."

Amazing - Beverly Hills, CA

Breast Augmentation
"Dr. M was the perfect choice for me in choosing a surgeon for my breast augmentation. I am completely Dr. phobic and needle phobic and he made me feel so comfortable, and like I could handle the whole situation. He takes excellent care of his patients, and makes sure to answer any questions you have no matter how silly it is. He is excellent and so helpful."
