Akshay Sanan, MD, FACS

As I have aged my upper lift had virtually disappeared. Lip fillers did not work for me as my results always resembled a duck bill because of the thin structure of my lips. Dr. Sanan suggested a lip lift with corners lifted too. I had always wanted to have this surgery but until now I had not found anyone locally who performed this surgery, and had confidence in their abilities to get a good result. Dr. Sanan made me feel so comfortable about the surgery, answered all my questions, and explained to me that to get a natural result he could only remove so much skin. I understood that the architecture of my lips created limitations, but was excited to move forward. The surgery and healing went beautifully. After only one week of healing, I could tell I loved the result. It is so natural. Put your confidence in Dr. Sanan. He is very talented and knowledgeable.

After seeing numerous H&N surgeons to evaluate my deviated septum, my search stopped at Dr. Sanan. His expertise as a facial plastic surgeon amongst his charisma and ability to connect with me as a patient is what assured me that Dr. Sanan was perfect for the job. He took the time to get to know me, and even my family as he fielded many concerned questions and answered them by setting realistic expectations. Dr. Sanan didn’t sell me on far-fetched realities but instead his ability to be thorough and pragmatic about what I should expect. Two-years post-surgery I continue to think about how having a septo-rhinoplasty with Dr. Sanan truly changed the quality of my life. In addition, entrusting Dr. Sanan’s cosmetic expertise also led to botox and filler appointments that I have equally appreciated.

Dr. Sanan is awesome! You can tell he is really knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. I went in for undereye fillers, a bit nervous, because I had done them with someone else before and they didn't do a great job, every time I smiled, I could see the filler. Dr. Sanan was able to explain to me why this happens and what he would do to avoid that happening. He explained everything and made me feel at ease. It's been a week now and I love the results! I love that he went for a natural look so I don't see it when I smile and I don't look puffy. I'll definitely be back to see him again!

My experience with Dr. Sanan was great! He’s very easy to talk to and happy to inform you with any questions or concerns ! What’s also important going in for surgery is feeling comfortable around your surgeon and I definitely felt at ease around Dr. Sanan . I had a very complex surgery . I was very happy with my results not only did I feel much more confident in my own skin I could also breathe ! I definitely would and have been recommending everyone to Dr Sanan who is looking for life changing and natural results !

I had the best experience with Dr. Sanan. He is personable and knowledgeable in his field and inspired so much trust. Even after one year post-surgery he has remained interested in my recovery and invested in my well-being. I am more than happy with the outcome as it is exactly what I had in mind and fits my face naturally (people cannot even tell I had surgery). I cannot recommend him more highly.

Dr. Sanan. Did beyond what I expected amazing job. Let me explain why back in December 2021 I decided I finally wanted to do rhinoplasty something I’ve wanted for a long time, I went through four consultations doing my research on every one of these doctors and Dr. Sanan was my last consultation. That was back in May 2022. Right then and there at the consultation I knew my decision was made that I wanted him to perform my surgery for rhinoplasty. He was very professional very knowledgeable had a ton of experience and with the technology he does his surgery was very different from someone other dr’s. He was also very passionate and caring for what he does. I scheduled my rhinoplasty for June 2 went through the surgery was a great process the aftercare was extremely easier than I expected, also Dr. Sanan and his care team was beyond exceptional checking on me caring for me just made the whole process super easy. And for the most important part there’s surgery the rhinoplasty came out be on my expectations I am so happy with the look he has given me my breathing is improved so much I could’ve never imagined feeling this good. It was just a great process super easy and also was really amazing that Dr. Sanan had a team that recorded my whole process the before and after on his Instagram. By far I couldn’t be happier that I chose Dr. Sanan for this procedure thank you so much I couldn’t be any happier thank you thank you thank you!

Dr Sanan did an excellent nose reconstruction for me after I had Mohs surgery to remove some skin cancer. This was my first time having any kind of procedure done on my face so I was a bit nervous. Fortunately Dr Sanan was friendly and easy to talk to and put me at ease right away. He was confident he could fairly closely put my nose back to how it looked before the Mohs and I’m happy to say he was right! The reconstruction took about 3 hours and I was awake the whole time chatting with him. I never felt anxious or concerned at any point as he kept me updated throughout the procedure. He did play lots of Coldplay though which I found questionable, haha. The surgery was painless and the aftercare was straightforward. Truly appreciate how relaxed and personable Dr Sanan was and how he was calmly confident but not cocky. He has an excellent “bedside manner” is polite and professional and made a fairly anxious experience a positive one for me. I think my nose looks great. Very happy. If I ever need any reconstructive or cosmetic work done I’m going back to Dr Sanan for sure.

Dr S is a great doctor ! He’s kind , patient, experienced, thoughtful and all around a great guy. You feel like old friends when you meet him . I would give him 6 starts if I could . I flew from Boston to California to get treatment from Dr.S I did a lot of research and knew after my consultation he was the one for me.

I came to Dr. Sanan asking if he could correct my lips with filler, and he did a fantastic job. A different injector previously injected my lips and it was not done correctly. My lips were very uneven and I was still searching for that fuller look. Dr. Sanan made me feel very comfortable and assured me that he could give me the look I was looking for. They look and feel great. Definitely going back!!!

I originally met with Dr. Sanan in 2019 to discuss having a septo/rhinoplasty. From the very beginning, he has been amazing, especially considering I had anxiety about the procedure. We were delayed in completing the procedure due to COVID hitting in early 2020; however, I'm now almost one year out, and I am very happy with my results. I can breathe much better, and the appearance has improved dramatically. My recovery was fairly simple with minimal bruising and most healing happening within the first month. Dr. Sanan has everything I was looking for in a surgeon: top notch education, cutting-edge experience, and relatable personality. His approach combines a touch of humor with direct, no nonsense communication. I'm happy to continue working with him and highly recommend Dr. Sanan.
