Brow Lift

I travelled all the way from Aspen Colorado to have Dr E perform a brow lift, because of Dr Es excellent reputation. It took 10 years off of my face, with even my closest friends amazed at how young I looked, without knowing I had had a brow lift. I had no tell tale signs of surgery. It was like I went on an amazing spa vacation, and came home 10 years younger!

After moving here from out of state a few years ago, I saw Dr. E on home shopping network with Phyllis Diller. He had performed a facelift and face peel on her and she looked so amazing; I knew he was the doctor for me. He did miracles for me as well and I see him every few years for a little rejuvenation. Thank you Dr!

As a pioneer in the field of cosmetic surgery there is no better experienced doctor than Dr. E. His unparalleled knowledge, precise techniques and unique ability to give each patient a flawless result, puts him leagues above his fellow colleagues. I would trust no other. Another ultimate benefit is his personal touch and sincere approach as a caring doctor makes you feel safe and secure.

Rhinoplasty

Updated on 4 Feb 2012:
About two months ago I had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Elam and I could not have picked a better surgeon. Before I had this surgery, I was unsure what nose would fit best on my face and the nose that Dr. Elam created is perfect. Everyone compliments me and I honestly don't think that I could have had better results. Everything about the surgery was easy. I did not have any bruising and the swelling went down quickly. I experienced literally no pain and the only issue was that I had a splint on my nose for a week so I couldn't leave my apartment. I feel like my face is much more balanced and I have a nose that fits flawlessly. Because I am a student at USC, Dr. Elam's office is far from where I live but his staff was very helpful in making appointments for me that worked with my schedule. I would 100% recommend him. It is a joy to spend time with the entire staff and with 30 + years of experience, Dr. Elam's work is impeccable. Message me if you have any questions!

Rhinoplasty

Make sure you do alot of research on your doctor- do not make a decision purely based on cost or location.... this is your face you are getting altered! I would recommend asking the doctor you are interested in booking your surgery with to physically see a patient who has just had Rhinoplasty in person if possible. I got to see a few patients (who gave my doctor permission obviously)that were a week- month post op when they came in for re-checks & asked them questions etc.

The Reason Why I Am So Happy Now! - Newport Beach, CA

Posted by ICU nurse

I had surgery by dr Elam because he made me feel so comfortable at my consultation. I am a nurse in the ICU and work with a lot of surgeons so I can tell you that most have a terrible bedside manner. When I met dr Elam, I was so surprised to meet a surgeon who was truly such a nice guy. He made me feel so comfortable about my procedure and recovery process. Working in a hospital, I've been exposed to lots of unsanitary things and seen many mistakes so I was very concerned about getting surgery. So he showed me around his entire facility and how they sterilize all the equipment and I felt much better. In thirty years he has never had a patient get an infection related to surgery. After seeing how nice he was and how nice his operating suites are, I signed up for surgery and had both my breast done and liposuction.

A Great Experience - Newport Beach, CA

Posted by Elizabeth9888

Dr. and his staff were caring, patient and extremely professional from my first consultation to my last follow-up visit. The Dr. explained the procedure in great detail and made sure to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Throughout the procedure, he was gentle and made sure I was ok every step of the way. After the surgery, I was even more impressed with his extensive follow-up. He seemed to go out of his way to make sure I was ok and everything healed properly - even taking extra precautionary measures. My expectations were far exceeded and I would highly recommend Dr. E.

Dr. Elam is a true artist. I could not be more happy with my results. He took the time to get to know me so to have a genuine understanding of the outcome I desired. In my mind, the results are dramatic and life-changing while still being subtle and entirely natural. Dr. Elam makes himself completely accesible to his patients and provides the utmost in after-patient care and follow-up. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Elam to any of my friends and family members. After meeting with several southern California-based plastic surgeons, I was still uncertain if this procedure was for me. That was before I walked into Dr. Elam's office! From that moment on, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional and I never looked back. The entire process was made seamless by him and his amazing staff.

I went to several consults with different Dr.'s and Dr. Elam was instantly my choice at the consult, trust me, you just know when you meet the right surgeon. He looked at me like I was a piece of art, you could tell he was studying my facial structure and you can tell he LOVES what he does. You are not hurried or pressured in ANY WAY, his prices are more than reasonable and I have not ONE complaint about my experience. I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful him and his staff are, they have so much experience and I knew I was safe in their hands. Safety and experience is so important but something we dont always think about first with plastic surgery. I think price and result are our first thought but your safety while having cosmetic surgery really should be considered. Dr. Elam gives you a great price with a ton of experience and his surgical suite and staff are top notch.

First Class Experience - Orange County, CA

Couple of past patients of his. Having just moved to California recently, I did not know a single plastic surgeon. I started asking around and was referred to Dr. Elam through a couple of friends. After doing extensive research and visiting for a consultation, I was very pleased with him, his team, and the office. Dr. Elam implemented exactly what I wanted. I also want to mention that his follow-up process (which is once a week for the first couple weeks after surgery then once every couple weeks) makes you feel like you are truly cared for by him and his team. Overall, the whole experience has been first class and will be recommending him to anyone interested in services he offers.

Realself.com!!! Dr. Elam was the first consultation I went on and I instantly felt a connection and trusted him but just to be safe I shopped around. I went on 7 different consultations all over like Beverly Hills, Encino, Marina Del Ray, Hermosa, and all over Los Angeles. Let just say I wasted my time after meeting with the other doctors I realized Dr. Elam was the perfect fit. He thoroughly went over the procedure and understood the fixes I wanted to my nose. Of course I was nervous of looking like Michael Jackson but he reassured me that I wouldn't. The staff is SO friendly and unbelievably accommodating. Dr. Elam even came in on his day off to do my surgery because it was the only day that worked for me. Needless to say he did an AMAZING job! He's a true artist that listened to everything I said and my nose looks SO natural! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW NOSE AND LOVE DR. ELAM!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING AND ALSO A BIG THANK YOU TO HIS STAFF!!! DR. ELAM IS THE BEST!

I am 100 percent in love with my new nose and I think he did an amazing job. He was also delicate enough to where I had very light bruising and swelling. He is honest and caring and overall an amazing A+ surgeon. Probably one of the best in the State, if not the United states!!

Dr. Elam and his staff have been amazing and have given me the best care possible! I knew he was the right surgeon from when I first met him. I don't think I could have chosen a better surgeon! We all went to different doctors. However I found Dr. Elam off real self. I scheduled my consultation with him about a month before my surgery and fell in love with him and his staff! He took pictures and did the digital imaging on his computer and we talked about what he could do with my nose. Molly, the patient consultant/medical esthetician has been there for me since day one. She has been absolutely amazing with scheduling my appointment and being there for me throughout it all. :) I then scheduled my pre op appointment a month later and everything went well. I got my blood work done and Molly called in my medications for me to pick up the same day right across the street. All I had to do was wait until the day of the surgery. Him and the girls have been absolutely perfect!

That's Dr. Elam! Dr. Elam, I know that you are one of the finest in your field of Plastic Surgery/Cosmetic Surgery because of my recent personal experience.

First Class Experience-Incredible Doctor and Staff - Orange County, CA

Posted by RW0830

I was referred by another doctor, he said "...there is no one in the world that he would trust other than Dr. Elam. His breast implants are so natural you can't tell the difference between natural and implants...." I agree mine look and feel very natural. I flew across the country at the recommendation of another doctor who I trust. I am a nurse by training and wanted to see only the best and Dr. Elam is the best of the best. While in the waiting room and exam room for my first visit he was very busy. I could hear in the hallway patient after patient thanking him for his work (fixing other previous work done by other doctors) They were so incredibly happy. I had a consultation and he worked with me to discuss my goals (repair damage done over time, pregnancies, breastfeeding and weight loss, age related issues) He answered all my questions and was very patient kind and caring. Because of the distance I was traveling (from the East Coast) all procedures were done on the same day. When it came to size of my implants I left it to Dr. Elam as much as possible as he is does this everyday thousands of times over. I am a professional and said I wanted to be bigger but not crazy big and he used his experience and expertise and I am SO happy. I am very proportionate to my size and their shape is fantastic. He said “trust me when we are done you will be beautiful”… and he was right he made me beautiful…I hear it over and over. His whole staff were nothing but incredible. Shelley was AMAZING! There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how wonderful she is and the care she provided to me post surgery. Doug and Molly who I saw often were wonderful too. The care I received was first class at all times. The time care and compassion of these people can’t be matched. I healed quickly and upon return home it was amazing the response. I look at least 5-7 years younger (I am 41) I have received so many compliments and attention it is incredible. Simply amazing I can’t say it enough. I would do it all over again. I wish I had done it sooner. Wouldn’t change a thing and can’t wait to go back for my tummy tuck (four pregnancies have taken a toll on my tummy skin). Dr. Elam’s follow up is second to none. He calls, emails, communicates regularly. He has made himself available to see me when I am on the West Coast to track my progress. His team are among the most wonderful people. Incredible…. Simply stated they are the best of the best. There is NO other doctor I would rather see trust or consult than Dr. Elam.

So when I started looking around for a plastic surgeon, I was very excited about making the change, but also nervous about 'going under the knife'. I was looking for a Dr whom I could trust my face to 100% and know that the results will be exactly what I'm looking for. I went to a couple consultations, including Dr Elam. I must admit, it took me 2 years to finally decide on going through with the surgery because it would be my 1st surgery Ever - I was nervous. But I chose Dr Elam exactly for the reasons I listed above: I felt I could trust him & I knew he had years of experience doing rhynoplasties (as well as other plastic surgery procedures). He also was the 1st Dr who told me I had a Deviated Septum which could be fixed during the surgery. His team was also very helpful in every aspect of my surgery (Molly, Shelly, Dan). Dr Schwab (the anesthesiologist) was great! He & Dr Elam have been working together for over 30 years now, so I knew I was in good hands there. Nevertheless, I was very nervous going in, but after I layed on the operating table - the next thing I knew the nurse was telling me it was over! I cannot thank Dr Elam enough! I absolutely Love my new nose! Everyone compliments my new look already. & it's only been a month since my surgery! My recovery has been very smooth & quick. I would Definitely recommend him!! =)

Dr. Elam and his staff deserve more stars than are allowed. They are always so professional and caring. Dr. Elam was referred to me by a very happy patient and I couldn't be happier. I carry his business cards and refer him to anyone interested in feeling better about themselves.

Liposuction

I first read about Dr. Elam in Harper's Bazaar and Marie Claire. Then when I started to research on the highest rated plastic surgeons, I noticed his name kept on popping up. Then I found out he was one of the pioneers of liposuction. Dr. Elam was one of the first surgeons in the US to perform liposuction. His credentials are so impressive because he taught (and continues to educate) hundreds of surgeons on the surgical craft and artistry of liposuction. Also, he wrote the first physician's training textbook on the procedure. Dr. Elam has been featured in so many media outlets and has a seemingly cult following of celebrity clientele and stunning models. I also confided in a few of my friends that I was interested in getting plastic surgery. I found out two of my friends went to Dr. Elam for their (one had a nose job and the other had breast augmentation) surgeries. They both were in competitive professions that demanded physical beauty to be at an optimum. Overall, my experience was phenomenal. I am so grateful for the care, professionalism and the final results. I feel so confident, pretty and positive! Dr. Elam is the BEST!

I rate Dr. Elam five stars across the board. He has an amazing bedside manner. He answered all of my questions and spent a full hour discussing the details. He did an imaging computer photograph of me so I could see my results ahead of time and his staff is so kind and caring they'll make you feel at home.

I have no complaints at all! Dr. Elam washed away all my fears by listening and taking his time to explain the procedure and to hear what I wanted and why.

Septorhinoplasty + Chin Augmentation - Newport Beach, CA

Posted by OC native

My entire experience with Dr. Elam and his staff has been amazing. I had never had any kind of surgery and was very nervous, but Dr. Elam and his staff made me feel at ease. Dr. Elam was always willing to answer my questions and didn't mind when I called him with more questions. I had been debating having a septorhinoplasty and I prefered to pay out of pocket to have Dr. Elam as my surgeon than to go through my insurance. That's how confident I was that this was the right place for me. And I was right. I can breathe better and love my cute new nose. I had a chin augmentation too, which he recommended to balance my face and helped me understand why it was recommended. He always answered my questions and took my concerns seriously. I love my new look and improves breathing. My friends and family have all complimented me on my new look too! The staff is super friendly and caring. If I ever have another procedure done, I know where I'm going.
