“Best Decision Ever - Newport Beach, CA”
Facelift
"Dr. Robert Kessler and his staff was incredible. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Kessler and she highlighted the quick recovery and post op experience that she had with Dr. Kessler.
Dr. K wil absolutely leave you looking many years younger but at the same time, it will look natural.
I'm only three weeks post op and have already traveled to see family that I have in Florida. It is so gratifying to see the reaction that relatives and friends have when they see me. They can't put there finger on it (they don't know that I had surgery), but they all say that I look wonderful. I can only imagine and anticipate what the end result will be in a few more weeks.
I absolutely recommend Dr. K and his wonderful Staff!"

“My Breast Look Natural and Amazing - Corona Del Mar”
Breast Augmentation
"He is a very trust worthy doctor. He is competent and only looks out for the best interest of his patients. He is very patient with question and respects his patients' time. After seeing 5 doctors in the Newport Beach and Irvine area, I chose Dr. K to conduct my augmentation. He is a genuine doctor who actually cares about his patients; if he doesn't think a procedure is necessary, he will let you know. I highly recommend him."

Tummy Tuck
"I took my time in searching out qualified health providers that could perform and accomplish what I wanted done. Dr. K and his staff were professional, readily available, and most important, the job was done right the first time. This is major surgery and it needs to be done by the best possible doctor as well as skin artist so that you look your best. Dr. K exceeded my expectations. I have given his name to several people since I had surgery."

Botox
"He takes time to make you feel comfortable and safe. He knew where to put the Botox to help me look younger and fresher but not overdone or frozen.
I have had Botox injected by several doctors over the years, but this was by far the best experience."

“One of the Most Rewarding Experiences of my Life. - Corona del Mar, CA”
"Dr. Robert Kessler and his staff were AMAZING! They were extremely friendly and welcoming and despite all the fears I had initially, the whole team made me feel very relaxed and calm. Dr. Kessler spent a great deal of time and answered all my questions and was very reassuring, and comforting during my consultation visit. Although I had always had my hesitations on doing any cosmetic surgery, I have to say going through with removing the bags under my eyes, has been the most delightful and rewarding experiences of my life. I am extremely pleased with the results. Not only I look at least 10 years younger, none of my friends or family could tell what I had done they kept commenting that I look amazing.It looks very natural and as I was reassured by Dr. Kessle, recovery was very quick (less than a week). I had no pain after surgery and no need to take any pain medications. I am ready for my next surgery! I would recommend Dr. Kessler and his professional staff to all my loved ones in a heartbeat."

“This Was the Best Surgery Experience I Have Ever Had Including the Surgery Center (Irvine Multi-Specialty Surgical Care).”
Breast Augmentation
"Dr. Kessler has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very patient, compassionate and a good listener. He took his time to really evaluate my concerned areas. I did not feel any pressure to go ahead with the surgery after my consultation and he only talked about the areas I wanted cosmetic help with. The staff and surgery coordinator were very friendly and professional. The waiting room was usually empty and they were ready for me when I walked in."

“Exceptional Quality and Commitment - Corona Del Mar, CA”
"Dr. Kessler had a challenge in correcting the problems with my previous augmentation. But not only did he successfully correct the other doctor's errors, he had tremendously creative ideas on how to give me cleavage that I had never before had. Dr. Kessler is not only approachable and caring, he immerses himself in the creative process of it. He clearly loves, and thrives on, what he does."

“One of the Best Experiences I Could Ever Have Asked For - California”
Breast Augmentation
"Dr. Kessler and his office staff are beyond amazing. I was nervous for the procedure but Dr. Kessler and his staff made me feel so comfortable and relaxed with my decision. He took a genuine interest in the look I was hoping to achieve and supported my wants and needs. Dr. Kessler took the time to answer my questions whether they were during an office visit or over the phone. He also made sure I knew everything regarding my surgery options, breast size options, and recovery. I researched many doctors but after meeting Dr. Kessler and his staff, my decision was not only easy but an obvious one too. I would recommend Dr. Kessler to anyone thinking of going through plastic or reconstructive surgery."

"I found Dr Kessler to have an excellent bedside manner and he answered my questions completely and honestly. In this time where our medical appointments are hurried it is easy to feel as though we are being rushed in and out. I found someone who gave me all the time I needed and who gave me thoughtful, complete answers to my questions and concerns. I enthusiastically recommend Dr K and his staff. You will be so glad he's your doctor and partner."

“Lower Face, Neck and Brow - Corona Del Mar, CA”
Facelift
"Dr Kessler performed a lower face and neck lift with an endoscopic brow lift. Dr. Kessler provided excellent advice and a thorough and extremely caring explanation of what I should expect from the entire process. He never rushed me through any visits and answered every question I had with genuine care and concern. Dr. Kessler was open to seeing me or speaking to me anytime and any day of the week, once even on a Saturday. His entire office staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming. I can’t imagine a more caring and pleasant office staff.
I am truly a fan of Dr. Kessler, his staff, and above all his outstanding work. The entire experience was extremely positive.
Thank you Dr Kessler and all your staff."
