Michael Hakimi, MD

I had my one month post op follow up today with Dr. Hakimi and completely shocked with my before pictures! Highly recommend Dr. Hakimi, can’t thank him and his team enough for the amazing treatment and results. From my consultation, surgery, post op everyone at Ideal Face & Body has been kind and overall great atmosphere. He helped me achieve my goal that I couldn’t achieve with exercise and diet after my second pregnancy. My self esteem has been boosted and feel even better now. I feel and look better than I did pre-pregnancy and now could see more definition from working out. Can’t wait to see even more amazing results as time goes by.

I had awake 360 lipo with Dr Hakimi a year ago and it's the best gift I've ever given myself!
I am not an easy Patient being obsessive with details and etc but he was very attentive and patient with my concerns. Being awake during the surgery, he made sure that I was comfortable and well informed. He talked me through each step and made sure I couldn't feel anything. He also gave me what I thought was impossible - a waist!!! He basically took out giant gut. He definitely exceeded my expectations.

I came back for a 2nd session to do my arms and chin. My jaw line looks great and my arms have definition.

I have maintained my new body for a year now but if I need anything else done Dr Hakimi will be my first call. He is an artist and an amazing doctor!

I went to Dr. Hakimi for awake fat transfer to the face, breasts and hands (with lipo to the arms and inner thighs). I actually have a second session booked to do 360 lipo and bra roll with a second breast fat transfer (which I’ll decide as we get closer if I actually still need). I am beyond thrilled with the results. I know several people who have booked consults with him after seeing my results. For the face, I had the fat put in my temples, cheeks, under eyes, lips and chin. I’m almost 35 and my face looks like it did when I was in my early 20’s and it looks so much more natural than anytime I’ve ever gotten filler. For my hands, they were bony and now they look refreshed and supple (for lack of a better, less cringy word). As for my breasts, I will say when I was younger I was a full D slash sometimes DD depending on the brand, so I had the basic shape to begin with but they had lost fullness as I slimmed down over the years. I’m about 2 months post opp and I have to say, my breasts look like bazoongas (that’s the medical term, right?). They look how they did when I was younger which is exactly what I was hoping for. I will say, the procedure itself is unpleasant. The numbing part isn’t bad, stings a little but from what I remember Dr. Hakimi has a wiggle-the-skin technique to help distract from the sting. The fat transfer to the breasts you definitely feel and was the most painful part of the day and recovery. I did have a lot of work on a lot of different areas done in one day, so my recovery was probably longer than people who do less. Also, for the face, they will warn you and they are not kidding, the face swelling looks bad for about a week to 10 days. At about 2 weeks my face looked like perfection.
Dr. Hakimi was very attentive following the procedure and always answered my text messages very promptly. I’m very type A and have anxiety, so he deserves extra points for being so patient with me.

People have commented asking for update photos, so these photos are at about 4 months post opp for the fat transfer to my hands and breasts. I love how natural the results look and how much fat my body retained.

I want to thank all the staff at Ideal Face and Body for being so kind and made my procedure 100 times better. The environment there is the best! My procedure was PRECISION SCULPT Chin, Neck & jawline with the addition of buccal fat removal. It was one of my biggest insecurities, but now I’m on my 2nd day recovery and I’m already so confident with my results!

I couldn’t thank Dr. Hakimi enough for doing my procedure he is AMAZING with giving me such beautiful results! I also want to thank Dr. Yovino and the ladies in the office for being such a great help throughout my process of getting this done! I do recommend this place to everyone who plans on getting anything done and wants amazing results, being awake during the whole procedure is such a great experience!! Can’t wait to go back again to get more done lol!

I have had three procedures done by three different doctors, Dr. Hakimi and his staff are by far my favorite! I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Hakimi and I am so beyond grateful I did! I look and feel amazing! I had my surgery done on a Tuesday and was back to work the following Monday! I have never felt sexier! He truly has changed my life and I am forever grateful! His staff treated me like a celebrity, no kidding! Get that tummy tuck, but make sure it’s done by Dr. Hakimi!

I won a IPL treatment at Liftique watching a zoom video with Dr. Hakami. Pam was wonderful, I loved it Nicole T. greeted me, she is so great to talk with. She made me feel so comfortable, I had been considering a facelift and she had me talk with Dr. Hakimi. He made me feel so at ease and explained everything I would go through. He was very thorough. Two weeks later I had the facelift. He asked me what my main concern was and it was my neck. My face and neck came out perfect. He has the best bedside manner. After surgery I had some questions, anytime I called everyone was so accommodating. His nurse Mel also made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. He also massaged my face which had a little swelling, which was great. I can't say enough about Dr. Hakimi, he is wonderful. Everyone is extremely professional and with Covid going on, it was never a problem. I am so happy with the results. Also, Dr. Hakimi is great with Botox, I can't say enough about him.

Dr. Hakimi is the BEST plastic surgeon I have had. He takes the time to evaluate your needs and, unlike other surgeons who think of business profit first, Dr. Hakimi genuinely cares about patients and will not sell any procedure that you dont need. I am very happy with my face lift and eyelid surgery, and I highly recommend him.

Dr Hakimi is an amazing person. Since the beginning during my virtual consult he was courteous, kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I just had my 360 abdomen lipo procedure today and I am ecstatic about seeing my results! He and his staff had terrific bedside manner and were so kind and attentive. I definitely recommend him and Ideal Face and Body!

Dr hakimi is by far the most patient, kind, and honest doctor I have ever met. I felt extremely comfortable and confident with my breast augmentation. He really takes the time to understand the look you are going for. He communicated with me before and after surgery and answered all my questions. He is someone I highly recommend.

I wrote a review right after my breast augmentation last year but I wanted to take the time to write a in depth review. First off, Dr Hakimi is one of the most thorough, detailed, and patient doctor's I have ever met. I got 330 CC and 350 CC Saline implants.

He assured me the right size for my body. I am 5'0 tall 110 pounds. I wanted high profile so they could sit high and they look amazing. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was very scared to go under but he was telling me funny stories and his staff took great care of me.  If you are looking for a doctor who is going to treat you better than an average patient and someone who is also going to make sure you are in great hands then he is the best one to go to.

Dr. Hakimi has done my breast augmentation two times. I treat him like family and vise versa. I wanted to update how well my boobs look saline 330 cc and 350 cc. I am beyond thrilled. This is two years post opp! he's the best.

Dr. Hakimi is the best! I am thrilled with my upper eye lift procedure. Outside of a little bruising it was pain free. He is also truly cares about his patients and puts you at ease. His entire staff is fantastic.
