From the moment I walked into Restore for my consultation, I just knew this was the place I wanted to do my surgery. Dr. Gallus is absolutely amazing, she's kind, knowledgeable and was helpful from the very beginning. Wonderful bedside manner. The rest of her staff is the best...front desk, billing, nurses, anesthesiologist, etc. With the whole process, I truly felt that they cared about me and wanted to help me gain my surgery objective. Dr Gallus explained everything soooo well, as did the rest of the staff at each part of the procedure. My favorite was the care taken on the operating table before I went under. I was visible nervous, and the anesthesiologist calmed me with pictures of his puppy, the nurses comforted me, and Dr Gallus held my hand as I went under. One of my favorite parts is my nurse was sitting bedside when I woke up, reassuring me that everything went great and comforting me as I came to. Many times before I've woken up from anesthesia to the staff all buzzing around the operating room, tidying up, etc., leaving me wondering what day it was, where I was, etc. But no, my nurse was right there for me in the recovery room. And that's all talking about their personalities and actions. Dr Gallus did an amazing job on my actual surgery (explant/lift). So grateful for this team, would highly recommend.

Brest aug silicone 405cc left breast 445cc right breast. Tummy tuck Dr. Gallus is amazing! From the moment I walked into her office I felt so comfortable. She Never tried to talk me into anything I did not want or need. Updated on 6 Oct 2021: New pictures

Dr Gallus is one of the best surgeons I’ve met. And I’ve met a lot since I work in the OR. I required a simple treatment but the overall care that was given to me made her and her practice achieved 5 stars!!! She made sure that I had the proper service, price was reasonable, ambiance is relaxing, spacious, and clean, and there is parking! I will definitely go back for more services and I highly recommend Dr Gallus!!!!

From the minute you walk into the office you are immediately in a friendly and comfortable environment. Dr. Gallus and her staff put me at ease by having a conversation about my procedure, not by just telling me what was going to happen. I have had several procedures done from injectables to facials and every time I visit it's an amazing experience.

Dr. Gallus is INCREDIBLE! Dr. Gallus did my scar revision (mini tummy tuck) post my three c-sections in 2013 and I was immediately thrilled with the results and five years later, I am still very happy with the outcome. Dr. Gallus is conscientious, detail oriented, and honest. I have also seen Dr. Gallus for a consult for thigh liposuction and Dr. Gallus told me that I did not need liposuction and educated me on the concerns of having a concavity if I did have the procedure. I have great respect for Dr. Gallus' integrity and honestly. How many plastic surgeons would turn down a cash procedure? Dr. Gallus did because she knew it was not in the best interest of her patient. I also see Dr. Gallus for Botox and I have had two microneedling procedures at her gorgeous new office in La Jolla.

Dr. Gallus has a brand new comprehensive plastic surgery practice in beautiful La Jolla. I have been to see Dr. Gallus and her staff on a number of occasions. They are kind, professional, intelligent, extremely caring and thorough, but most of all are of a caliber that most other physicians cannot compete with. The experience top to bottom was pleasant. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Jordyn and Erin who instantly made me feel at ease. Erin is an esthetician and very knowledgeable about the skin. I can't wait to come back to see her after my CO2 laser treatment from Dr Gallus heals! She recommended a post treatment kit of Skincare called Alastin. It feels wonderful and is helping my skin to heal at a rapid rate! If you are looking for something basic such as a peel or laser treatment all the way to a mommy makeover or facelift, this is the place to go!

I have struggled with sweaty hands my whole life, and no one was ever able to help me before Dr. Kat! She was extremely knowledgable and very comforting as it can be quit a painful process to get botox injected into your hands. Her facility was also brand new and extremely clean. I will definitely be continuing to go to her for botox treatment for hands as well as other potential treatment's in the future!

I had tried everything to lose weight . Short of starvation. I never thought I would care about plastics surgery, but the opportunity came up and I went for it. My surgeon is amazing, I am so happy and excited to feel good about myself again. I am 2 days post op, the drugs are helping a lot. The experience so far has been great. I am in some pain, but staying on top of meds, is helping. I am so happy and excited. I got 375cc under muscle silicone, full TT, liposuction on my muffin top. Will post more when can. Drains are not bad at all, don't really notice. I am loopy but could not be more happy. My husband is being great, stayed one night in hospital , now home. Really just been drinking mainly meal replacements now, nervous about not having bm or gas yet. Updated on 9 May 2015: Doing well. A little more pain ten the last few days, but so so so happy I did this. My husband is awesome,taking care of everything. I am not draining much at all. I think this is the best things could have done for myself. I am super sore, but like a hard work out, nothing out of control. It is annoying to walk around bent over, but it will past. I have the best doctor. I am tryin to get up and move around a little, but taking it slow. My boobs don't hurt at all, just sore. Prefect size for me. Updated on 10 May 2015: Things are going better then I expected. It's hard to get used to seeing the scars, but even with the swelling and new wound look, it's awesome. I am starting to already back down on the pain meds too. I am very happy I did this, all over the place with moods. My boobs are not really hurting at all anymore, just my stomach is weak and feels like I did 4000 sit-ups. Updated on 18 May 2015: I am so happy I did this. recovering is always annoying, but I feel so good about myself. My drains came out day 5 and 9, they didn't bother me pain wise unless they got pulled on. My upper back does hurt from hunching over, but I am getting straighter every day. The incisions have not hurt much, just the actual upper abs and stomach that was tightened. My stomach is very swollen, but so flat already. I am so excited to see the results in a few months when it is a finished product. I am a gym rat and no amount of different eating and exercise could have done this. I was scared to go in, after all I have four small kids and its major surgery, but the honestly it has been amazing results. I will post more pictures soon. I am still sore, in pain, but every day is better and better. I am so thankful for my talented, wonderful doctor and her staff. Thank you, thank you. I am very open about everything, and I know a lot of people have negative views on PS, but this was right for me. My happiness has sky rocketed. Updated on 18 May 2015: My compression garments, I recommend a separate bra and binder, life savers and not too pricey, for both around $60 Updated on 19 May 2015: Updated on 30 Jun 2015: I need to put pics up. Still very happy. I have lost 6 pounds since surgery. Boobs are amazing. I was doing the surgery more for the tummy, but am so happy I got them. They look so natural. Everything has gone very smoothly and thankfully no complications. I am still in a sore pain, and haven't started exercising. My body looks great, I could never have done this on my own. I still swell pretty bad each evening, and am still sore from the side Lipo. Between my belly button and scar it is numb , which the dr said could go away but take up to a year or never. It took about a month to start walking straight, from being pulled so tight in the stomach. I would do it again in a heart beat. When you are going their it, recovery is frustrating and long, but grand scheme what's a few months.

This is absolutely not okay what someone who is 3× certified. I already had my surgery paid for my wedding and had to cancel because I was sooooo swollen, so painful. She charges so much for Tijuana better job. My husband came with me because she was so awful laughing at my tears, screaming, slamming doors, she freaked when we asked about the billing and she decided to have her sales girl tell us to go elsewhere without my after car. Going to all these seminars doesn't make her good. She was done with surgery in 2 hours. She couldn't put lip filler in without the very end not being able to get it all down without shaking so bad and almost lost the syringe in my face. I brought my husband as an advocate and so many rookie moves it felt like. Wouldn't let me buy a garmet, left with soaking garmet in blood for 2 days leaking fluid. Said i couldn't take garmet off but said wash it. Not prepared. Running in late, no talk uncomfortable. Now I know why she said her sister in law wouldn't let her do botox or touch her face. So rude and nasty. Acts like a mean girl..wish I did my research. It was traumatic and have her apology letter but what's she's done is not okay.

Everyone at Restore Plastic Surgery has been amazing. From Melia (Reception), to Erin, Patient Care Coordinator to Dr. Gallus. Erin and Dr. Gallus spent an INCREDIBLE amount of time going over the procedure with me and answered all my questions and concerns. I worked many years with the California Medical Board, so of course I did my Due Dilligence on reviewing Dr. Gallus impeccable record! Looking forward to the surgery and the results.
