Excellent work on my eyelids! First class surgical skills
I am very happy to find Dr. Michaels Echavez, after my extensive online search for my (Asian) eyelid surgery. I decided to choose Dr. Echavez after my comparison online shopping. Dr. Echavez impressed me the most, his very reasonable price, his respectful manner and professional quiet strength of confidence. I especially like his not talking big and flashy. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Echavez' reassuring down to earth manner, and humble, modest with great professionalism.
Simply the Best!!!
Dr. Echavez has been my Doctor for over 15 years. He has treated me for facial Wasting due to a health condition. I have nothing to say other than he’s the best there is. Not only has he restored my face to a natural appearance but he’s been the kindest and most considerate physician I have ever known. Key point for me is that I know other people who have had the same procedure done with other Doctors and their results are FAR from mine. It’s all in the hands of the physician
Very Satisfied with Medical Treatment and Professional Experience

Immediate Results
I've been seeing Dr. Echavez for years for Sculptra treatments and decided to try Voluma. The results are pretty much the same but it is more immediate rather than taking a week for full results with Sculptra. Dr. Echavez said both will last about a year to 18 months.

Excellent Results With Sculptra Treatments
I began Sculptra treaments with Dr. Echavez after moving to California and looking for a cosmetic procedure that would fill out gaunt cheeks. My reseach indicated that Sculptra was very effective in adding roundness to sunken cheeks due to aging. Additionally, the results lasts for months, as opposed to other fillers, which generally last for a much shorter period. I understand this is because of how Sculptra reacts with existing tissue in rounding out the cheek area. I am extremely

Pleased with my results for sunken cheeks via Juvederm Voluma/tear troughs via Restylane
I am 28 years old, an age I thought was too young to consider any type of procedures. After recently losing 20 pounds and back to the weight I was in my early twenties, I was shocked at what the fat loss did to the contours of my face! I have been feeling SO desperate and wanting to return to how I once looked. I look SO GAUNT now. After much research I finally pulled the trigger with injectables. Dr Echavez seems almost indifferent and business-like, he was not pushy at all.

Great. San Francisco, CA
Conducted CoolSculpting and then followed up with SculpSure. This was focused on my abs as well as my inner thighs. Much better impact/results on the abs and faster changes than any diet and exercise alone had provided for me over the years. Glad I made the move and will continue over time as I feel it is helpful.

I Highly Recommend Dr. Michael Echavez! - San Francisco, CA
My dermatologist in San Francisco recommended Dr. Echavez for filler and botox, and I am very happy with him. He listens to what I am looking to do (I don't want to look like a different person, rather just my younger self) and is very careful, attentive, and knowledgeable. I had filler in my lips for the first time and it enhanced my look without being artificial in any way. I have had some less than favorable experiences with other providers when it comes to filler in the

55 Year Old Male With Belly and Love Handles - San Francisco, CA
I've tried to stay in relatively good shape most of my adult life after being overweight throughout my childhood and teen years. My whole family is very overweight and we've all battled our weight most of our lives. Over the years, no matter how much I exercise or maintain a good eating regime, I've always had a protruding belly and love handles except for a few times when I did some extreme weight loss which was impossible for me to maintain. This year I started researching

Dr. Echavez is a Restoration Artist - San Francisco, CA
Facial wasting prematurely made my face hollow and sad. Dr. Echavez was kind and sensitive to my particular needs. I supplied him with picture of my face before facial wasting. My wasting had been asymmetrical. After a few treatment, Dr. Echavez restored my face with a his precise and artistic hand. He gave me my face back! I am very happy with his work.
