Babak Dadvand, MD

Dr. Dadvand is the best plastic surgeon ive ever consulted with. Not only are his results the absolute best ive ever seen, but his demeanour and temperament make an exemplary patient experience. I will continue to trust him with all my work going forward.

AMAZING experience with Dr. Dadvand and his staff.
Dr. Dadvand made me feel very welcome I had a consultations regarding chest masculinization+nipple graft, no one made me feel rushed, all my questions were answered, Dr Dadvand was very well informed about the surgery, using proper terminology.
I was given a patient information booklet with all the information that I needed when my consultation ended, I went home read through it and decided to have surgery with Dr dadvand October 2022
BEST DECISION, I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery, I greatly appreciate Michelle and Bea for checking in with me and making sure I was okay during my process,
I would recommend Dr. Dadvand to anyone who needs the services he provides.

Such a great experience with Dr. Dadvand. He knew exactly what was needed to help with my gynecomastia issue. The results are better than I could have ever imagined at age 53. I was worried the overall appearance, but everything has looked great so far. Dr. Dadvand was a great choice.

I've had terrible gynecomastia since I was 11, and at 25, I finally got the confidence to get surgery. I'll just say Dr. Dadvand changed my life and made me confident to go without a shirt or look myself in the mirror for the first time ever.

My son had gyno for a long tIme and it was severe, this stopped him for I’m being able to enjoy himself as a teenager at pool party’s and athletic events, our experience with dr.Babak couldn’t have gone better, he was very quick, efficient, and professional and is by far the best surgeon in California

I had a double incision surgery with Dr. Dadvand. He was great with me and with how I'm wanted my chest to look like. From day one I felt welcomed from his great staff to the doctor himself. Dr. Dadvand and his staff were great on answering all my worried questions, great with helping get ready for surgery. And Michelle was great with helping me find everything I need after surgery. I would recommend Dr. Dadvand to everyone I know he is the best. And I am very very grateful to him and his staff for the care they gave me.

I have lived with gynecomastia for over 10 years. I've lived with it since I was 12 years old (started during puberty) & recently just got it removed by Dr. Dadvand at 25 years old. Living with gynecomastia the past 13 years has been very rough. For those who have it, you guys know what it's like.. To live most of your life hiding & embarrassed about your chest no matter how much weights you lift, how much cardio or proper eating you do. To skip out on the beach, pool parties, and social gatherings where you have to be shirtless. To be made fun off because of your female looking chest & to be afraid to take your shirt off in public and especially in front of your close friends. To wear graphic t-shirts & hoodies to hide your man boobs from sticking out. I went through it all. It was psychological TORTURE. It was something that I felt had robbed me of living my life to the fullest and really took a toll on my happiness. Yeah I get the fact that no one cares out in public, or people probably won't notice or even bother to say anything.. but what matters is your self-consciousness, your confidence and how you feel about yourself. I will be writing a long & detailed review on my experience in hopes of encouraging and inspiring the next guy to pull that trigger and get that procedure done by Dr.Dadvand because it was long, detailed reviews like this that ultimately persuaded me to go for it. And I'm so thankful and glad I did.

The jokes started in high school. I was overweight (169lbs 5'4). So I worked my ass off and dropped down to 135lbs. I was extremely slim & nearly all body fats were gone except for my chest. My gyno was cone shaped and it would get puffy when it was hot. When it was cold it would shrink a little but you can clearly see there was still man boobs there. It just looked weird. Being very skinny yet having a fatty chest. So then the jokes came from my peers, whenever I took my shirt off typical high school shit. But I just laughed it off and laughed with them, but really inside I was extremely hurt and traumatized.
I did lots of online research & online methods to hopefully get rid of it. I tried taking turmeric pills, because I read that it gets rid of gyno. I tried these herb medicinal wraps I saw a guy use on youtube. I tried ZMA pills, testosterone pills, bio freeze etc. lol. Everything you can think and name off. But at the end of the day it never went away. And so I just accepted it, lived with it and just went on with my life. It is what it is. I was aware that surgery was a for sure solution at the time but I had no money at all for it.

By the time I was in college, I was a professional at hiding it. I knew all the tricks and tips. And I avoided all social gatherings and activities that required me to take my shirt off. I was still very much actively working out with my friends & I remember one thing I ALWAYS HATED was... no matter HOW MUCH WORK I PUT IN THE GYM IT NEVER WENT AWAY. It sucked so bad. I was lean. Jaw line, shoulder cuts, collar bone popping out, flat stomach, yet I had these man boobs sticking out. It was horrible. And so out of frustration I did some online research. This was back in 2017. I came across Dr. Cruise in Newport Beach & Dr. Dadvand as the two top surgeons known for solving this man breast issue. I met with both. The meeting with Dr. Cruise was extremely shady. I was 20 years old at the time and clueless. I was forced and persuaded into taking a care credit loan out for I believe $6,000 and what was so suspicious was how I got approved for that loan. ( A 20 year broke old college student with no credit). I remember going home that day and having mixed feelings because of how the consultation went. I did further research and read a couple bad reviews on his practice and people having horrible results. I was experiencing major anxiety because I felt that I had to do it and it was too late to back out. Nevertheless, I cancelled it. I met with Dr. Dadvand and right off the bat I knew he was the one. His demeanor, the way he examined my gyno and explained it was very thorough and super chill. He never forced me into doing the procedure AT ALL. He explained what he was going to do and what to expect, very clear and precise. I had a really good feeling about his practice and reading the reviews at the time it was all positive! So then I was quoted for $7500 and I said lets do it. I was broke at the time so I worked 2 jobs that summer. 7 days a week for 3 months. I barely made it. I had saved up like $6800 by September and went to a second appointment to lock in the surgery date for 12/26/17. Then I remember receiving a pamphlet and reading something that ultimately changed my mind at the moment. It was something along the lines as death being an apparent risk. ( With surgery there is always a risk, and this surgery is not life threatening keep reading) & so I opened up to my parents about it in hopes of support and encouragement and they shut me TF down and made me promise them to never do it (i had to break that promise). I had an emotional breakdown because I had saved up all the money and all that hard work just for my dream to not come true. I remember making a promise to MYSELF at that time.. that one day I will come back to Dr.Dadvand and get this surgery and that I'd have enough money to do it where it wouldn't even dent my pockets. All that money I had saved up that summer was all I had to my name so getting that surgery at that time wouldn't have been the best financial decision.

Fast Forward 4 years later... 2021.. Saved up enough $$$. I emailed Michelle for a consultation & what's crazy when I went in was that they still remembered me.. had my profile and everything. I was quoted for $11,300. Which was fair. Remember YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And honestly what you get with Dr.Dadvand is PRICELESS. Yeah it may be steep to others, I could've paid off my car or school loans in full but I chose to do this instead.. why? Because I wanted a higher quality of life. And that is exactly what I received. I locked in my surgery for 10/26/21. The whole process itself was EXTREMELY SMOOTH. The hardest part about it was the mental game. I was going through severe anxiety a couple months prior to my surgery due to various reasons, and as the date came closer, my anxiety was out of control. It was so out of control that I felt that I was going to die or that I would go to sleep during the surgery and never wake up. But Dr. Dadvand assured me very well saying that the procedure IS NOT LIFE THREATNING AT ALL and that he's done hundreds and hundreds of these procedures. Prolly thousands at this point. Still I was so scared and worried.. it's only normal right? I remember the night before surgery I had to call a mental hotline because I was so worried about what would happen that I couldn't sleep. Especially since my parents didn't know I was doing this, the only support I had was from my girlfriend. She was the one to take me there and to really push me to go for it. One last thing that assured me was reading real self Q&A's from doctors on the chances of someone dying from this surgery and basically they said it was 0 to none. Quote and quote one doctor said you have a higher chance of dying getting hit by a lightning bolt than from this procedure.

SURGERY DAY: I almost backed out and went home right before arriving because of how nervous I was. But I am so thankful my girlfriend reminded me why I was doing this and how bad I've wanted this my whole life. It basically came down to this lesson. Are you going to live your life running away and hiding? Or are you going to do this and improve your quality of life. I checked in, met with one of the nurses I forgot his name I think it was Christian? But he was so helpful and really helped me calm down. I met with Dr. D and he was ready to go, super chill demeanor as always and there I was panicking lol. I remember him saying we don't have to do this if you don't want to.. & I said no we came this far already let's do it. Still panicking my heart rate was at 150bpm super anxious. The anesthesiologist came in, looked at me and said we gon give you the good stuff and you'll fall asleep and all that shit will go away.
No kidding. They made me count to 10 and I was lights out by 7 seconds. That shit was strong. Surgery was at around 11am I woke up in the recovery room at around 3:30pm with cold shivers and an elevated heart rate bc I was still in panick mode. The nurses calmed me down and I was wheeled chaired out of there. It went by so quick. And I was so glad it was over.

Recovery: My recovery took about 6 days. I did not take any of the prescribed medication. I only took Tylenol extra strength about 2-3 times a day. The pain was minimal and even when there was, it was bearable. The hard part was sleeping & getting in and out of bed. You are immobile in terms of doing everyday activities in your house. You truly need someone to help you, get around, get food, drinks etc. I basically laid in bed for a whole week watching netflix. The vest and drains were uncomfortable but you get used to it after day 3. Special shout out to Michelle during this whole recovery process and just the whole process in general because she answered any questions I had so fast, and was extremely kind and helpful. So yeah, the drains are important because they suction the fluids out of your chest to prevent any complications from occurring. This whole period sucks trust me especially since you cant shower, but one thing I reminded myself was that one the surgery was over with and two it will all be worth it. Also you have to wear the vest for a month which isn't that bad at all.

Vest Removal Day: After 6 days I went to get my drains removed by Dr. D. I was still so nervous because I didn't know what to expect nor can I ever imagine myself with a flat chest. Upon removing the bandages and drains, he said wow amazing go look at the mirror. I looked at the mirror and almost cried man. Shit was beautiful. My chest was flat and looked normal. Like nothing ever happened. Like it was all a bad dream. It was gone. Completely gone. I mean I was in awe, at how amazing of a job Dr. Dadvand did. He truly outdid himself. I finally made my dream come true & it was all worth it. I was given a new perspective on life.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. I know it's a long read but I hope my story helped inspire or persuade someone to go for it. Or maybe save up enough money to get it done by Dr. Dadvand. Money shouldn't be something to stop you from doing this. You can always make your money back, if not more. If you don't have it, well shit save up like I did. THIS PROCEDURE IS LIFE CHANGING AND RESULTS ARE PERMANENT IT IS 100,000% WORTH IT. To every problem there is a solution. And I am extremely thankful to God for Dr. Dadvand for having the talent and experience to just execute this perfectly. All those stressful years he went to school, all them long dedicated nights no sleep, to be a surgeon of this caliber.. so he can help people like you & I live a better life... You gotta appreciate it. You will see instant results. Literally like within a week. I am 6 months post op today, and it was like I never had gyno. I know what it's like. I tried EVERYTHING. The ONLY SOLUTION to this problem is SURGERY. I hate to say it, but it's true. Ask any physician. So if you're someone who's dealing with this issue, go book that appointment with Dr. Dadvand. I promise you, you won't regret it. He truly is the best at what he does. 100/10 rating from me.

THANK YOU DR. DADVAND FOR CHANGING MY LIFE AND MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE. LOVE.

Dr. Dadvand performed gynecomastia surgery on our 17 year old son in November. Our son has struggled for years with self esteem issues due to this condition. After extensive research, my husband and I found Dr. Dadvand.

Dr. Dadvand is very personal , caring and conscientious. He gets to know his patients and makes sure that the procedure is thoroughly understood by all.

Our son's condition necessitated nipple grafts as well which were done with flawless expertise and show perfect symmetry.

We would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Dadvand to anyone. He is a skilled surgeon and compassionate physician. Our son has a newfound confidence .

If you are thinking of getting gyno surgery look no further. I had struggled with gyno for quite some time and when I decided to do something about it I visited several surgeons to see which one I would go with, and after visiting 5 surgeons it was a no brainer Dr. Babak and his team were simply the best. I immediately felt comfortable, unfortunately on my first visit after the consultation I wasn't able to go through with the surgery but after 5 years when things were better for me financially I called them again and they actually remembered who I was and knew exactly what I needed. Now after it is all set and done not only did the surgery go well and my results are amazing, but they also took very good care of me during the healing phase and were always there to answer questions. You can't go wrong going with Dr. Babak and his team, I would highly recommend him.

I can’t speak well enough about Dr. & his staff. Through out the whole process, his office manager Michelle was very communicative and answered any questions I had in full detail from pre-surgery to post. Dr. Dadvand did an amazing job explaining the surgery and explaining why he chose to proceed with the surgery the way he did. Multiple follow ups ensured my recovery process was going smoothly. The office is extremely welcoming and Dr. is very sociable and does an amazing job at making you feel relaxed. Dr. Dadvand made sure to reassure me in case of any anxieties I’ve had about the surgery. I had extremely high hopes of getting the results I had wanted and Dr. went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations completely. This experience has truly changed my life for the better, i feel so much more confident and happy with myself image. I would recommend Dr. and his staff to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. Not only has the doctor perfected his craft, but you can truly see that he enjoys what he is doing. I can’t ask for more. Thank you a million times.
