Tummy Tuck

germaine lane

I had an awesome experience. On the day of the surgery everything went according to plan......

My experience with Dr. MacDonald was awesome. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction on my hips. I'm extremely happy with my results. Dr. MacDonald and her staff, were professional and responsive to my needs. I was given pain medication right away and taken care of by Dr. MacDonald and her surgical team.

Dana M. - Santa Clarita, Ca Breast Reduction Surgery - Encino, CA

I recently had a breast reduction done by Dr. MacDonald, she did a wonderful job. The results look very natural. I was referred by my primary doctor and Dr. MacDonald got the surgery approved very quick. If I had any questions before or after surgery Dr. MacDonald was easily available. They also had an information packet to help with the before and after surgery procedures. Thank you Dr. MacDonald for a job well done.

I Had One Flat Breast and One Large Breast - Encino, CA

What made me want to get surgery to fix my breast? I was very insecure with them, and didn't feel good about myself. When I had the option for surgery I was very excited and happy. After the surgery, I love them and they look great. I am more secure about myself. I can fit in my bathing suits and bras perfectly now. I am very grateful that I got the surgery.

36 Years Old with 1 Child and Needed Breast to Proportion my Body - California, CA

When I was 36, after having my only child, I was looking to have a breast augmentation since I always felt my breasts were small in proportion to my otherwise hour-glass figure. Most women I had seen who had this procedurehad breasts that looked fake…I did not want to look like I had a “boob job”. One day, I ran into an acquaintance, who had this procedure performed by Dr. Genevieve MacDonald. I was totally impressed with the proportioned and realistic appearance, which was exactly what I was looking for, and ultimately, got from Dr. MacDonald. Dr. MacDonald is a trustworthy, highly artistic plastic surgeon with integrity, who stands by her work. She really listened to what I wanted, and delivered with amazing results! I have been so happy as I have received many compliments from men and women who thought that I was born and blessed with the perfect size and shaped breasts that she created. I gave Dr. MacDonald a 5 Star rating for her professionalism, artistry, and fair & competitive pricing.

11 Good Years with Saline Implants - Los Angeles, CA

I was really disappointed that dr macdonalds office never even called my new ps back. Not what I would have expected from such a caring doctor. Updated on 8 Apr 2013: It turns out, the 2nd surgeon I went to just did not follow-up in a very thorough way---Dr MacDonald's office is totally happy to send me my records and I am expecting a call from Dr. MacDonald tomorrow. I am actually really interested in seeing my original records, because I have no before pictures from before my first surgery. Updated on 12 Jun 2013: Now I know for sure that Dr. MacDonald is the caring, wonderful doctor I always believed her to be and Dr. Davila is an even bigger creep than I realized. It turns out, Dr. MacDonald DID send him my records, but he never got back to anyone at her office to say he had or had not received them and he told me he never received anything from Dr. MacDonald, which was actually just a blatant lie. I miss Dr. MacDonald so much---my experience with her was such a dream compared to the horror of my recent surgery. It makes such a difference to have a doctor who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her patients and who genuinely likes her patients. Dr. MacDonald and I have talked on the phone for almost an hour in total, since my last surgery, while Dr. Davila could barely offer me five minutes of his time, even though he was the one who performed and botched my surgery. What a difference! I would definitely go to Dr. MacDonald again and I think she is a wonderful surgeon. She spoiled me---I think I thought all surgeons were as wonderful as Dr. MacDonald, but she is a rare and exceptional doctor. Updated on 18 Jul 2014: These are my before photos.
