Hello to everyone reading this. My name is Vicky and I am 1 year post-op of a gastric sleeve surgery in which I lost over 125 pounds. I want share my experience with everyone, especially those who have gone through similar experiences and can relate to my situation. Recently I’ve had the pleasure of undergoing a series of transformative procedures performed by the renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Fadi Chahin, MD, FACS, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the exceptional results. After losing a significant amount of weight through weight loss surgery, I was left with large amounts of excess skin throughout my entire body. Dr. Fadi Chahin, came highly recommended, and it is evident why. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Fadi Chahin, and his team at 90210 Surgical Associates, exemplified the utmost professionalism, expertise, and compassion. His highly skilled and knowledgeable staff worked diligently with my insurance carrier and were able to get an approval from them covering more than 2/3 of the costs for all my surgical procedures. The entire process was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that my specific aesthetic goals were understood and met. Dr. Fadi Chahin took the time to thoroughly explain each procedure, addressing any concerns or questions I had, and instilling a sense of trust and confidence in their abilities.

Dr. Fadi Chahin skillfully sculpted my body, removing excess skin and fat while contouring my figure to achieve a more youthful and proportionate appearance. The results are truly remarkable, exceeding my expectations in every way. Not only did Dr. Fadi Chahin deliver outstanding surgical outcomes, but their genuine care and support throughout the entire process were truly remarkable. They were readily available to address any concerns or questions I had before and after the surgeries, providing reassurance and guidance every step of the way. Their bedside manner was impeccable, making me feel comfortable and confident in their hands. The staff at 90210 Surgical Associates were equally exceptional, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. The Joint Commission Accredited facility itself was state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology and maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. The nurses and support staff were attentive, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable, offering personalized care and support during my recovery. I am now able to enjoy a newfound confidence and sense of self, thanks to the incredible work of Dr. Fadi Chahin. My body has been transformed, and I am grateful beyond words for their expertise and artistry.

You have all changed my entire outlook on life by giving me a whole new start to a beautiful, healthy life that I once never thought possible but because of you all, it is now my reality. Forever grateful, Ms. Vicky
Was awesome, great information & my arm looks better after the bite. Definitely recommend Dr. Fadi Chahin for any type of surgery. He reconstructed 5 of my tendons and I have no pain whatsoever. There is little to no scarring. Treatment says hand rejuvenation but really he reconstructed my forearm
Amazing experience working with Kandace at the med spa! She is so thorough and helpful. She explained everything I needed to know and put me on a treatment plan. The staff is very friendly and the office is beautiful
My appreciation of Dr. Chahin’s expertise is beyond expression. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and comprehensive in his profession, and this is also reflected with his entire staff and office atmosphere. I have recently undergone a procedure to repair both a right split ear, and scarring on my left ear. I am beyond happy with my healing progress. I can’t believe that I am seeing daily improvement as my ears heal from an injury I received as a teen, and the discoloration of years of hiding the damage with clip earrings! I am so happy to have made the decision to trust Dr. Chahin’s expertise! To Dr. Chahin and the entire staff…thank you!!!!
I am a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy. Dr. Chahin was there at the beginning and has done a fantastic job reconstructing two beautiful breasts for me. These breasts are way better than what I started out with, being 66 that is saying a lot. Dr. Chain is most professional explaining everything involved and making me extremely comfortable with an uncomfortable situation. Also, his staff is always very warm and welcoming. Teri Knafla
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Chahin and his staff. He is exceptionally skilled, kind, and compassionate. From my first consultation to my final appointment, I knew I was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Chahin and Jennifer for making my journey as easy as possible for me:)
Went to Dr. Chahin for a BA revision due to having a leak in one implant. Switched from saline implants to silicone. I am now one year post-op and very, very happy with the outcome. Much happier than I was with the initial BA and my implants look and feel much more natural. Dr. Chahin and his staff are very friendly, professional and competent. I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend Dr. Chahin. In addition, I felt his costs were very reasonable.
It is with great pleasure that I write this review of Dr. Chahin. I am grateful to have been able to be seen by Dr. Chahin for my breast reconstruction. I am very pleased and satisfied with my personal experience. Dr. Chahin is professional and very thorough with his work. I feel that I got the best possible treatment. I am very happy with the outcome. A special thanks to Dr. Chahin for taking the necessary time and energy needed to ensure that the job was exceptional and a priority. I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with my doctor and his staff. Each and every one of them was courteous, professional, and made my visits as comfortable as they possible could. Thank you for being so compassionate to my personal needs!
My experience with Dr. Chahin is exceptional. If your looking for a Doctor and Staff who support you, provide professional & skilled knowledge, willing to go above & beyond to answer all your questions, make you feel comfortable and safe, provide service with integrity, and amazing office/hospital bedside manners, then no need to look further! Both my Husband and Mom who were with me at the time of surgery kept complimenting how much they enjoyed Dr. Chahin’s level of patient care. I was a little nervous prior to surgery (who isn’t, right?), but once Dr. Chahin came in the room, my nerves went away and he again gave me the confidence & security that everything was going to be great! And, here I am today to testify of Dr. Chshin’s work! I am extremely satisfied!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Treatment was a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Chahin explained the treatment plan clearly. He was calm and his manner was always confident and reassuring. I rarely had to wait when I arrived for my appointment. My treatment and care in the hospital waiting for surgery was excellent by Dr. Chahin. He greeted me with a smile and a reassuring attitude. It's weird, but even though I was going through breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, I didn't feel the anxiety of seeing my doctor as I had with pre-op appointments or other routine doctor exams. I think that speaks for itself. This review is not by an employee or friend. I'm a patient who has a great doctor.
Thank you for your question. The general recommendation for cessation of smoking prior to surgery is 8 weeks. At the 8 week mark your chances for complications drop significantly. There is still a risk for delayed wound healing, however, this risk can happen to any patient following surgery. Congratulations on quitting smoking and good luck with your upcoming procedure.Fadi Chahin MD, FACS
Hello and thank you for your question. As you have been instructed, technically the pictures are part of your medical records, and therefore should be available to you upon your request. It is standard practice in my office that should a patient request then, they can be placed on a CD or zip drive and directly given to the patient (due to patient privacy). Now it could be that somewhere in your paperwork that you signed the practice states that pictures are the sole property of the practice or physician. If so this could be the reason that they are not releasing them to you. I hope this information helps you and good luck.

Thank you for your question. Generally, rectus muscle diastasis is determined at the time of the physical examination portion of the consultation. Sometimes its visible and presents itself as a triangle that extends from the bottom of the belly button to above the mons, however this is not always the case. The application of gentle pressure can also determine the degree of diastasis. Palpation can also determine if there is a hernia present. In my opinion I would set up a follow up consultation prior to surgery so that you can ask this and any other questions that you may want addressed. In my opinion it puts a patient at ease having all questions answered prior to surgery. I hope this information helps you and good luck.

Thank you for your question. This is entirely too much surgery to have while only under a local anesthesia. I usually explain to patients the difference between local anesthesia and IV sedation is with local you are completely awake only the small areas being operated on are numb, however with IV sedation you are put into a conscious sedative state. Local anesthesia can safely be performed by a plastic surgeon alone with the use of a numbing agent (i.e. Lidocaine), however IV sedation is generally performed by either a nurse anesthetist or an anesthesiologist. The nurse or physician will monitor vital signs throughout and immediately after your procedure for your safety. I would absolutely not recommend having this degree of surgery done under anything other than general anesthesia. As you have been told, having a nurse anesthesist or anesthesiologist availalbe for the extent of your procedure is an added cost, however, there is no cost on patient safety. I would recommend getting a second opinion consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon or if you want return to your surgeon who you are scheduled with and ask some further questions. I hope this information helps you and good luck!Fadi Chahin MD, FACSPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryDiplomat-American Board of SurgeryDiplomat-American Board of Plastic Surgery
Hi and thank you for your question. I usually advice patients with more pronounced wrinkling that they will see improvement after the first treatment however, long term use of the product whether it be Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport will help soften the lines over time and overall you will be happier with the results. Generally, we set a patient up with a follow up muscle paralytic injection right around the 10 week mark and I will take pictures to reference their improvement with continued treatments. It could be at this point that you might require slightly more product or you could require a different product all together. If you noticed some improvement with the filler, it could be that the lines were slightly more pronounced. My best advice would be to continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon/nurse that did the injections for you, so that they can recommend based on the results that you are looking to achieve a treatment plan. I hope this information helps you and good luck. Fadi Chahin MD, FACSPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryDiplomat-American Board of SurgeryDiplomat-American Board of Plastic Surgery
