Lower Blepharoplasty and CO2 Laser - Fantastic Experience

Wonderful experience with Dr Gadaleta and staff. The procedure was explained in detail, along with potential risks. Medications and aftercare were also explained in detail, both in person and with detailed written instructions. Dr Gadaleta and Kimberly, the Patient Coordinator, were available for any questions both before and after procedure. Doctor follows up personally the day of and days following the surgery to review any concerns and healing progression. Recovery was much easier than I expected, which I partially attribute to the excellent pre and post surgery instructions I received. Results were fantastic and look very natural. I met with multiple surgeons before selecting Dr Gadaleta and felt very comfortable with his expertise and demeanor. Highly recommend!

Best Decision I’ve Ever Made

The best decision I’ve ever made ! Dr Gadaleta performed the upper Blepharoplasty surgery which was done in the office . My eyesight has improved significantly by removing the extra skin. My confidence has skyrocketed. I look 10 years younger!! I’m so happy with the results in just one week. The entire experience was exceptional. The team is friendly , professional , positive and willing to go above and beyond . Thank you to Andria for the encouragement and Holly for the after care support . I appreciate the care and results I received .

This is of course the most I've ever had done on my face and I am so so happy that I entrusted it to Dr. Gadaleta.

As usual Dr. G comes through. This is of course the most I've ever had done on my face and I am so so happy that I entrusted it to Dr. Gadaleta. I am 55. This is only my three month postop progress and I've dropped at least 10 years off of my face in these photos, and as the months have gone by it's just getting better. Everything is so natural. Nobody can see the scars. Some people who've known me for years don't even notice. Others wonder how I look so good but don't say anything till I tell them I had a facelift. My hairstylist just last week responded with "oh thank god, I was wondering how you were aging so well and what I wasn't doing right for myself." Of course there's the kindness of Dr. G and the whole staff, the professionalism, and the true desire to make you look better, but not "plastic".....natural! If that's what you are after this is the place for you!

5 Star Experience

it is early yet after my neck left, but things are looking good, and the procedure was far easier than I expected. From initial intake to the practice through this point, it has been a five star experience. Personalized, professional, and efficient care since the beginning. I will post again when final results are visible, but I could not be more pleased at this point.

Look like a younger version of myself

Dr. Gadaleta is very skilled, talented, and passionate. He uses the latest techniques to get natural, beautiful results for his patients. My stitches were removed just a week after surgery. Later that week, people said I looked younger and brighter and asked whether I changed my hair or makeup! They didn't know I had cosmetic surgery until I told them. During the first two weeks, four people were so impressed by Dr. Gadaleta's work that they asked me for his contact information. I was surprised by how minimal the bruising and swelling was. Concealer covered the suture areas and bruises for the first two weeks. I am now three weeks post-surgery, and no longer need to use concealer. The scars are tiny and will eventually be invisible. Dr. Gadaleta and his team are amazing. They are wonderful people who demonstrated true professionalism through the entire process. It was always easy to reach someone when I had questions or needed to change an appointment. Kimberly made sure I well prepared for the pre-op, surgery, and post-op stages. She sent me detailed documents and spent considerable time with me during the pre-op appointment to go over the information. The anesthesiologist contacted me directly the day before the procedure and said I could contact him if I had any questions. The nurse at the surgery center was great and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Gadaleta and the anesthesiologist came in before the surgery to talk with my husband and me. Before I knew it, I was awake and on my way home. The recovery was easy and I was working from home later that week. Dr. Gadaleta encouraged me to contact him directly if I had any questions. I did contact him a couple of times after the surgery, and he responded right away, even in the evening. I was very surprised and impressed by this level of support. I am thrilled with my appearance. I look like a younger version of myself (not someone else and not obvious that I had cosmetic surgery), which is exactly what I wanted. I know it takes more time and healing to get the full result, so the best is yet to come.

Lower neck/face lift, lower bleph, and lip lift this summer

I have been going to OG for about 1.5 years. Dr. G and all the people that work at OG will make you feel welcomed, listened to, valued, and they have your best interest at the forefront of every recommendation they make. I had a lower neck/face lift, lower bleph, and lip lift this summer. It was literally pain free and my results are amazing. I give the highest recommendations for this practice, and especially Dr. G and Kimberly. They helped me create a care plan that is perfect for me and my skin. If you're considering getting any work done to your face/neck, do yourself the greatest favor and at minimum get a consult at OG Aesthetics.

Best Surgical and Cosmetic Care in the Bay Area

I finally did the facelift and brow lift with Dr. G that I have been saving for and I am only 2 weeks out. Surgical recovery requires patience and care and rest and of course there was discomfort but OMG I already look 10 years younger and thats me still puffy with residual bruising. I can't imagine how good it's going to look and feel in 2-4 more weeks. This man is a genius. See my "before and after" photos in a few months on their site. The staff was AMAZING and the care is so personalized and genuine. I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. G all those years ago and so happy for both Dr. O and G for opening a high class, genuine, bad ass, reliable, and so top class in both surgical skill and artistic skill. I love these guys!!

A true artist - exceeded even my highest expectations

From the moment I stepped into the OG office, I knew I was in excellent hands. The professional atmosphere and the warmness of the front office put me instantly at ease. During my consultation, Dr. Gadaleta took the time to truly understand my goals and concerns. He listened intently and provided honest, thoughtful guidance - never pushing unnecessary procedures. His depth of knowledge and experience was evident. The results of my procedure have exceeded even my highest expectations. Dr. Gadaleta is a true artist and master of his craft. My enhancements look incredibly natural. I cannot recommend Dr. Gadaleta highly enough. From his warm bedside manner to his impeccable surgical skills, he is simply the best. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, look no further - Dr. Gadaleta and OG Aesthetics is your answer.

The results left me looking like me just refreshed

I consulted with 4 Bay Area surgeons to determine who I wanted to work with. Dr. Gadaleta at OG definitely impressed me with technique, recommendations based on my desired results, and his follow up throughout the process has far exceeded my expectations. I was reassured throughout and his process made clear my wellbeing and safety was top priority. Although it's just 4 months since my procedure, the results are excellent. Friends that have known me for years and were aware that I had done some work, when I saw them they didn't remember until a few hours into our visit. They were very complimentary that I looked "great". The before and after pics definitely reflect the changes but looking at me after no one would know. This confirms that the results left me looking like me just refreshed. My goal was to not change how I looked or be obvious that I had work done. I just wanted to look a bit more vibrant to reflect how I feel. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Gadaleta. I plan to continue to work with him over time and refer my friends.

Gifted surgeon - couldn’t be happier with the way I look

I recently had the pleasure of undergoing an aesthetic procedure performed by Dr. Gadaleta and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the postoperative care, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism, skill, and care. Dr. Gadaleta possesses an impressive wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of cosmetic surgery. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving natural looking results, truly exceeded my expectations. During my consultation, Dr. Gadaleta took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and expectations. He provided realistic insights into the potential outcomes. He communicated complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand, and made me feel confident and well informed. Similarly, Kimberly, the Patient Care Coordinator, walked me through the experience with calmness and reassuring instructions. She gave great advice and made herself available to answer any questions I had. Every precaution was taken to ensure positive outcome. The surgical team working with Dr. Gadaleta was attentive, professional, and efficient. The facility where the procedure was performed was modern, clean, and equipped with state of the art technology. Before I knew it, my procedure had been completed, and I was ready to go back home. It was an excellent experience. The postoperative care provided by Dr. Gadaleta and his team was exceptional. Everyone was readily available to address any concerns questions. Dr. Gadaleta provided his personal cell phone number so I could reach him at any time – that was a first for me! He called several times to check up on me, and to reassure me that everything was going according to plan. The results speak for themselves - I am not only pleased with the aesthetic improvements, but also amazed at how seamlessly the enhancements blend with my natural features. My friends have marked how ‘natural’ I look. That was my goal. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gadaleta to anyone, seeking a skilled and compassionate aesthetic, surgeon. His commitment to excellence, coupled with an artistic eye for beauty, makes him a gifted surgeon, and a standup professional in the field. Thank you, Dr. Galeta, for your exceptional work! I couldn’t be happier, with the way I look! Updated on 3 Jul 2024: Three months after my deep plane lower facelift and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Gadaleta exceeded my expectations! The procedure took years off my face. I look very natural and feel refreshed. While the procedure took four hours, I was surprised by how quickly I healed. I had moments of being uncomfortable because I don’t like sleeping on my back, but I was never in pain. I had some bruising and my face was a bit swollen, but after three weeks I was able to go out to dinner and not feel too self-conscious. At the three month mark, I have no visible scars, I can put my hair in a ponytail and I have full range of motion in my face and neck. This was worth every penny!
