I have turned back the clock on my age by 20 years with this procedure alone
Dr. Mele performed lower eyelid surgery under local anesthesia. I think I actually fell asleep during the procedure:) . He has performed previous otoplasty surgery on me several years prior and this procedure was equally outstanding in the results. I can't tell you how much happier I am every morning I wake up and look in the mirror. I feel I have turned back the clock on my age by 20 years with this procedure alone. Thank you Dr. Mele and your staff so much. You are the

Love His Work ~ Had Lipo on Thighs and Flanks
Dr Mele is an excellent surgeon with 24 yrs experience and very grounded and friendly. I am absolutely thrilled with his work and highly recommend him. I had decided to have lipo after gaining considerable weight during covid. Despite my working out 5 days a week and switching to a plant based diet once the local economy opened, it was frustrating to see that I wasn't getting any traction or changes in my body despite the hard work. I'm guessing it has to do with being in my 50's

450cc High Profile Saline Implants, 34B Pre Op
I've been wanting a breast augmentation since I was sixteen. When I finally had the money saved up I researched a lot of doctors in my area. Dr. Mele was the first consultation I went attended. I was very pleased with his professionalism and covid safety during the pandemic. He answered all of my questions (which was a lot) and never made me feel like I was taking up too much of his time or asking dumb questions. I also liked that I spoke with him the whole time and not any
Great Experience.
Dr. Mele is an exceptional plastic surgeon. He was very caring and took his time explaining everything; I never felt rushed during my appointments with him. I had an otoplasty procedure done with Dr. Mele where he only corrected one ear (I was fine with the shape of the other one). Dr. Mele was able to match the ear he worked on to my other ear perfectly! I am very impressed with his precision and the results.

Otoplasty Success - Walnut Creek, CA
I had my otoplasty surgery performed by Dr. Mele. My left ear was always protruded more and looking at even my childhood pictures, I remember how it made me self-conscious. Particularly, now that I have grown older and wear my hair shorter, I was not able to conceal it as much as I used to. Also, I have a long, thin face and ears that protrude are quite noticeable. Dr. Mele spent considerable time asking how much back I wanted them corrected. He is a great listener and very

32 Years Old, 5'2, and 170 Lbs. Getting a Breast Lift with Silicone Implants, and Lipo to my Armpit and Back. Walnut Creek, CA
I have had extremely different sized breasts all my life that required me to wear thick padded bras that also had a sock stuffed into the left side (it's a lot smaller then the right breast) just to look normal in clothing. After nursing my two babies and losing 40 lbs my breasts look horrible. I plan on getting lipo in my armpit and back to smooth out areas of fat that have not budged with diet and exercise. Also I am hoping to get round, even full breasts so I can feel comfortable

Mini Facelift, an Excellent Choice for Me. -Walnut Creek, CA
At 66 years old I was past the recommended age for a mini facelift, but general anesthetic was not an option I wanted to consider.
