Breast Reduction & Lift: Wish I Did It Sooner! - Newport Beach

Breast Reduction
"Dr. C is a delightful woman and an artisan plastic surgeon. She explained everything in detail to me without me having to ask. At our first consult, she spent over an hour with me and I really felt at ease with her. As a woman, I knew she understood how important my breasts were to me. She listened to my wants and needs very carefully and she exceeded my expectations. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She is a very skilled surgeon & a wonderful lady."

Breast Reconstruction, the Gift with Purchase After Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast Reconstruction
"I was fortunate to have excellent insurance which allowed me to visit Dr Melvin Silverstein at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA. Dr. Silverstein recommended Dr C for my reconstruction procedure. I was so confident in Dr Silverstein, I went directly to Dr C's office, and knew she was the right choice. Dr C and her staff are like family, they are warm, caring people who give 100% all day, every day so that the patient feels like their #1, top priority."

Dr. C Has Great Artistry and Saved Me Money - Newport Beach, CA

Sculptra
"Dr. C is a plastic surgeon (your best choice), and uses fillers like a sculptor. Her prices are competitive and she does only the amount you need, so you save money. My review is for Sculptra (for my cheeks) but she also used some Juvederm Ultra and Perlane on other areas of my face. (cost indicated is Sculptra. And Dr. C has a great personality and nice staff."
