10/10 Blepharoplasty
I was initially hesitant to get eyelid surgery done, but I'm glad that I chose Dr. Taghva to do mine. During the initial consultation, she made sure that we were on the same page about what was possible, as well as what the best courses of action would be. Not only that, but she was also very kind and patient when addressing any potential apprehensions that I may have had. At the time of this review, I am 1.5 months post-op, so there is still more healing to be done, but Dr. Taghva

The Most Amazing Plastic Surgeon!!
I just wanted to take my time to share my experience with Dr Goretti. It’s been three months since I got my breast implants and breast lift done by Dr Goretti Ho Taghva and I am over the moon with my results.

Dr Goretti Ho Taghva went over all my options with me for the implant type as well as the incision site very throughly. I love how knowledgable she was about everything. She was also very

HIGHLY Recommended Plastic Surgeon
I have been with Dr. Taghva over six months since Jan 2024 and wanted to give a thorough review, history, and experience with Dr. Taghva and LEA Plastic Surgery. I wanted to perform a Lower Blepharoplasty surgery in order remove my excessive fat deposits under both my eyelids but was afraid on WHO and WHERE to perform this surgery. Based on my exhausting research, I have concluded that there is NO non-invasive procedure that can remove the fat deposits under my eyes which was

Natural Looking Double Eyelids, Long Healing Time
I'm about 2 months ago post-op my full-incisional double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The Dr. recommended a 6mm incision and I asked her to excise as much skin as possible for my epicanthoplasty and make the inner corners pointed, rather than rounded. My double eyelid crease and inner corner excision has really opened up my eyes! The procedure itself was not too painful, the most unpleasant part was local anesthesia injection, suture

Natural-looking Results with Asian Rhinoplasty!
I underwent asian rhinoplasty, with Dr. Taghva, about 2 months ago. I recognized she wasn’t sought out often for rhinoplasties, but I considered her because I wanted to get another procedure done simultaneously. I was satisfied with the results she displayed in the before & after gallery, and when I visited her during my virtual and in-person consultations, she was very upfront and realistic about what she believed I should and should not get done. Her transparency and extensive

Results Above & Beyond my Expectations
Hi everybody, I am 62 and this was my second facelift 12 years after 1st one. By the way, first SMASS facelift was a great success and lasted 10 years as promised. Then the face dropped and down and neck was hanging beneath i,t and I could not live with it any longer. I chose to have Deep Plane facelift when I saw the results pictures of other patients: not just better face AND neck, but all signs of ageing, caused by sagging skin & underlying tissues simply removed.

It’s been 5 months since my surgery and my eyes look great
Dr. Goretti did a phenomenal job on my double eyelid surgery. I had it done when I was a teenager about 15 years ago but it has semi-faded since then and left my eyes uneven. I have always wanted to get it fixed but didn’t know who to trust so I was afraid to bite the bullet. When I met Dr. Goretti I pretty much knew right away she was going to be my surgeon! She is so kind, professional, and easy to talk to, and it truly shows how much empathy she has for her patients. I decided
