Amazing Ear Surgery
Dr. Costa expertly repaired my torn earlobe. She made me feel comfortable and calm throughout the whole process, and I am so happy with my results: it looks just like my other ear with very minimal scarring. In addition, all her staff are very caring and professional, and the office is beautifully maintained.

Anyone with Asymmetrical And/or Tuberous Breasts LOOK NO FURTHER!
I have been dealing with breast issues since I was a teenager. Starting at 18 I sought out care for my severely asymmetrical tuberous breast deformity. I had 3 operations with a doctor who has since retired and now at 25, I needed some additional help. From weight fluctuations my skin was sagging on the right breast, causing the breast to look rippled. Additionally, due to the nature of my issue the skin and the breast tissue tends to be thinner.

I have always wanted fillers for facial balancing and I finally made the appointment with Dr.Costa! It’s a scary experience, especially when it comes to your face. Dr.Costa was gentle and made all my worries go away when we started the procedure. It was fast and effortless in her technique and I am extremely impressed with my results. She has made me feel more confident in my own skin and I can’t thank her enough!

Kybella: Genetic, Submental Fat
I did my research, and decided I was a good candidate for Kybella because my “submental fat is more genetic, than weight-related.” I have been wanting to do this for myself for many years and decided it was time! I asked my friends for referrals, made some calls, and set up a consult with Dr. Costa. I arrived at my consultation, nervous, but quickly felt at ease when I opened the doors to the doctors San Jose-Los Gatos border medical offices. Her office felt spa-like and sparkly

I feel great because my ears look great and I can blend in with the crowd
All my life I have been plagued with endless ear jokes from family and friends. My ears would stick out like Alfalfa from Little Rascals. This is no longer the case. After a few hours of surgery, I am very happy with my transformation. I was reticent about undergoing surgery in general. During the consultation, Dr. Costa took the time to explain the procedure in detail and help reduce my worry. After a few hours of surgery and a few days post-op, I do not know why I had not done

My nose looks so much better and still really natural.
I am so happy with the results of my surgery with Dr. Melinda Costa. She really listened to my concerns and what I wanted to achieve during our consultation. Dr. Costa put me at ease throughout the entire process. She walked me through the process and was there to answer all of my questions. I felt really comfortable going into surgery with Dr. Costa. I had a rhinoplasty and my nose looks so much better and still really natural. She is a real artist, she draws faces and they look
