Amazing Experience I Can't Explain How This Has Changed my Life

Amazing! Dr. Malek and his team are the best. I had lift and implant removal. Dr. Malek listened to our concerns and gave us his honest opinion. My implants were over 20 years old and I wanted to get them removed. After talking with Dr. Malek and having breast deflated we decided to get a lift and a small implant. There was no pressure, and I really felt like Dr. Malek listened to what we wanted. We had an amazing experience with his office team and surgical team. They are wonderful. There are no ways to describe that's how I feel now. I feel beautiful and I want to cry out of joy when I get dressed and get out of the shower! I am 4 weeks post surgery and do not regret our choice. It has been life changing. Dr. Malek gives his honest opinion about the size breast that will look best on your body. He is very thoughtful. I will be forever grateful.

Beyond Happy

I just had my third surgery w Dr Malek over the course of 14 years (implants after babies 14 yrs ago, removal of implants & lift a year ago, and then implants put in again a week ago). I was beyond content w my original implants and the whole experience, but after a while thought I wanted them out due to upper back pain that I thought was correlated and the age of the implants. Dr Malek was supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure as well as what to expect going from full breasts to nothing w a lift. The finished product was great but after a year I came to the decision that I wanted smaller implants put in so my body was more proportionate. Dr Malek took the time to walk me through this decision and in no way pushed getting them back in. Both times getting implants put in I explained I wanted to "keep people guessing" and did not want to look like I had implants but rather nice natural looking breasts (before baby breasts with a little extra)! This is his specialty. He's an artist and could not be more happy with the outcome even just a week post op. His entire staff is amazing as well and makes you feel comfortable and cared for. I honestly would go to no one other than Dr Malek for any cosmetic procedure. His honest approach and eye for natural beauty is something that cannot be taught. It's a talent and would encourage anyone wanting to make a change, either subtle or major, to go to him. You will walk out feeling beyond beautiful.

Best Plastic Surgeon

My experience with Dr Malek and his staff has been incredible. When I called to schedule my initial consultation, I was greeted with warmth and all of my questions were addressed. My first impression of the office was that it is beautiful and clean while also being welcoming. All of the staff were kind and respectful, they called me by my name and made sure I was comfortable. Surgery day was a breeze, the nurse who started my IV and walked me through the procedure was so personable and easy to talk to. Dr Malek himself was gentle and thorough, he listened to my concerns and made sure to address them all. I appreciated his conservative approach and that he knew what he was comfortable doing and was honest about expected results. I never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision, and Jennifer was always super helpful and accommodating when I called and had questions or needed guidance making decisions. 10/10 recommend Dr Malek and his staff to everyone.

Breast Lift with Implants

5’5 135 Implant Downsize with Lift 350 to 295/265

TLDR - 350 mod+ saline implants replaced with 295 and 265 full profile silicone and a lollipop lift. I wanted to write this review because I had trouble finding similar body types receiving similar implants to mine. I am 5’5 135 and 34D preop. my original implants are from 2010 and a 350 mod+ saline with a 12.5 cm base. One was overfilled to 375. The other was underfilled to 325. I really liked them but I’ve had two kids and breast-fed and they just started to feel heavy, matronly and saggy. I met with several surgeons and all of them mentioned that the implant was slightly too wide for my frame which surprised me because I consider myself to have a fairly wide upper torso. My BWD is 13.5. But after three surgeons recommending a narrower implant, I felt pretty good with the advice. I selected Dr. Malek because of his conservative approach. I had surgery yesterday and we used 295 and 265 Allergan highly cohesive full profile silicone implants (SCF). These have the same projection as my prior implants, but an 11.5 cm base. I am only one day postop, but very pleased with the results so far I will continue to post update pictures as I have them. Post op - i have felt really good. I slept about 90 minutes and then watched the Olympics and took another nap. Slept great last night. I haven’t taken the muscle relaxer since yesterday afternoon. I’m still on hydrocodone but feeling like I can transition to Tylenol later today.

Breast Implant Removal

Removing my implants was a decision I made

When I initially started considering having my implants removed and liposuction I did what most do; used google and yelp to search plus asked my network for referrals. Dr. Malek’s name came up numerous times which is what led me to schedule my consultation. From my initial phone call to schedule, in person consultation, surgery then post op I have been extremely satisfied not only with Dr. Malek’s attention to detail, professionalism and care for my overall health as a patient but his team of office staff has been extraordinary. Jennifer is the Office Coordinator and while I know I’m certainly not the only patient in the office she consistently treats me as though I am. I needed FMLA and other medical documentation for my employer and insurance claims which she without hesitation completed quickly. The day of surgery I was nervous but his surgery center and staff there specifically the nurse and anesthesiologist were amazing! I’ve never felt so taken care of pre-op. While I don’t recall everything that happened once I was out of surgery I do remember feeling the best I ever had post op. I’ve had a number of surgeries and this by far was my best experience. In addition, to the top quality of service Jennifer, the rest of the office and surgery team provides I appreciated Dr. Malek’s approach to ensuring the procedures I selected were the right ones for me. When I went in for my consultation I asked for multiple areas of liposuction but he was very honest in declining to do certain areas stating those areas were unnecessary. He did recommend Kybella for under my chin because I wanted liposuction to remove my double chin. He explained why that wasn’t the best course of action and how Kybella might give me the results I wanted. Removing my implants was a decision I made due to my age and health but I appreciated that he was very clear about what the result would be removing my implants without replacing them which is why he would also be doing a breast lift. I had thought that might be the case but I loved that he cared about the overall appearance and as a practice does that in this type of situation. I’m 4 weeks post op. I generally heal slowly so I do see some results but I also know that liposuction and Kybella results do take time but thus far I’m extremely happy with my decision to have Dr. Malek perform my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Malek and his team to take care of your plastic surgery needs!

Tummy Tuck

Creative802077

I’m now 12 weeks post surgery and could not be happier with my results!

Having a tummy tuck is something I’ve always wanted to have done after I was done having kids. After having recently prioritizing myself and my health, and losing 70lbs, I went to Dr. Malek for a tummy tuck/ab repair/umbilical hernia repair. Everyone from the office staff, the nurses, the anesthesiologist and of course Dr. Malek were nothing short of amazing! I felt calm and comfortable going into my procedure as Dr. Malek and his staff explained every minute detail to me. I stayed overnight at his facility to recover before heading home and had the best care and sweetest nurses. Post surgery, Dr. Malek and his staff were available to answer any questions I may have had regarding my recovery. I’m now 12 weeks post surgery and could not be happier with my results! Dr. Malek did such a great job and I could not recommend him more.

Beyond impressed with breast augmentation & labiaplasty outcomes!

I am incredibly impressed with my entire experience with Dr. Malek and his team. I recently underwent breast augmentation and a labiaplasty, and I cannot speak highly enough of the kind, thorough, and attentive staff. Dr. Malek truly listened to my desires and concerns, and provided personalized advice to help me achieve my goals. The before and after results on his website were particularly appealing to me, and I am grateful that he took the time to evaluate my body and offer tailored recommendations for a natural-looking outcome. On the day of surgery, everything went smoothly. My nurse and anesthesiologist made me feel completely at ease, and Dr. Malek checked in with me before the procedure to address any last-minute questions or concerns. Although I am only a few days into my recovery, I am already amazed by the initial results and eagerly look forward to the final outcome as I continue to heal. I highly recommend this surgery center to anyone considering similar procedures.

Breast Implant Revision

38DD 600cc & 575cc to 350ccs high profile & internal & external lift

Before- 2014 silicone implants. 600cc on the left/575 on the right. 2022 had my first baby. Breast got bigger, saggier. Before bra size was a 38 DD. Nipples (Areola's) got huge. Breast felt heavy. Started to have pain from the size. Goals- Exchange implants for a smaller size and get a lift. Surgery date- May24th 2023. Internal and external lift with 350 ccs high profile. They still look HUGE if not bigger than my old implants. Trying not to be disappointed. Lots of swelling. Can't wait to see how they look after swelling goes down. Updated on 2 Jun 2023: Pain is minimal. Went today to have stitches removed. Right breast is larger than the left. Doc says it’s swelling and most likely me using my dominant arm. I haven’t been able to relax and recover as originally planned. My caregiver bailed and I have a one year old. So I voiced my concerns to the doc. Doc says to give myself grace, that I am trying my best. Doc believes I shouldn’t cause any damage to my results. Hoping that’s true so paranoid. IF you’re thinking of doing this and have children I would wait until they are a little older! Just my opinion Updated on 6 Jun 2023: Finally got to see my boobs without the tape. Extremely disappointed at this point. Right boob seems bigger with excess skin underneath. As well as my nipples being shaped weird and dark. Praying for some changes as I heal. Updated on 14 Jun 2023: Still have weird nipples. They look like they’ve dropped a little and rounded out some. Updated on 1 Aug 2023: Not happy. Now that they settle I can’t see a huge difference in size. Or “lift”. Feeling like I wasted my money at this point. Updated on 1 Aug 2023: Nipples still odd

Mommy Makeover

Fantastic mommy makeover results & care - 1 month post-op

I received excellent care prior to surgery, had a great surgery outcome, and good post care. All of the staff members are excellent with customer service. They are all so friendly and thorough. Dr. Malek was thorough, particular, honest, and caring. The overnight nurses were also spectacular and caring. I’m so happy with my results. I wish I had done it sooner!
