Shahin Fazilat, MD, FACS

I had a number of procedures done through Dr. Fazilat done during one surgery, which included a face and neck lift, lip lift, breast lift, and lower eye blepharoplasty. I am writing this review after one week and two days post-surgery, and I am nearly 100% back to normal already. My face is healed, bruises nearly gone, swelling going down, and can go about my normal daily activities already. I have to say that Dr. Fazilat and his staff are the best. They provided very specific instructions for pre- and post-surgery, and never hesitated to listen to my concerns and answer all questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. There was never any hesitation to provide me with another consult to go over surgery details. The surgical experience was very well-organized and smooth. Surgery started at the exact scheduled time, and staff were on time, very pleasant and knew what they were doing. The operation took about seven hours. Dr. Fazilat’s instructions provided for pain management helped me to be in minimal pain following surgery (with the exception of the third day following surgery, which is traditionally the hardest day). One week after surgery, the nurse very carefully removed most stitches and half the staples, the remainder which will be removed next week. I am super pleased with the results, and am told that my face will continue to decrease in swelling over the next few weeks.

Dr. Fazilat’s staff consists of nurses, Physician Assistants, and office staff, as well as specific staff to help with financial issues such as costs related to surgery. All are super helpful. The physician assistant and nurses are always available to answer clinical questions during office hours (either by email or by call), and Dr. Fazilat was on call when I called up late night on two occasions with questions following my surgery. Dr. Fazilat is exceptional in how and where he places stitches, which you will NOT experience with most surgeons. The stitches I have are in places where they are hard to detect and healing quickly (one and a half weeks following surgery), and I am sure even the one under my chin and in front of both ears will go away quickly. While Dr. Fazilat’s prices may be higher than others (I am actually not sure of this because I did not do a price check given Dr. Fazilat’s excellent reputation), they are worth the price. My advice is not to go for lowest cost, but to go where staff and the physician are exceptional which would be Dr. Fazilat and his team. 

As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Over the past three years, my experiences at their Mountain View location have consistently exceeded expectations, leaving me thoroughly satisfied after each visit. The remarkable precision and meticulous care they invest in every procedure truly set them apart. Beyond their professional expertise, it's their genuine warmth and kindness that ensure I always depart with a smile. Madison James, in particular, deserves special mention for their outstanding skill and dedication.

This review is long overdue.. I started looking for doctors for my breast augmentation in 2021, I’ve come across Dr Fazilat on realself and some other surgeons , after a couple of consultations I decided to go with Dr Fazilat, he made me feel the most comfortable, he was realistic about what would be best for me , answered all of my questions, explained the procedure, and overall was beyond helpful and didn’t make me feel rushed like I felt with other doctors. I knew I was in good hands with him and today, after 2 years from my procedure , I’m a happy women and I still go to SF Bay Area plastic surgery to do my Botox, facials amongst other things because I love the staff , the girls are so so nice and all of them, including Dr Fazilat make me feel comfortable there, and pretty :)

How fortunate to be in a time and place in this world where I have the choice to do what I want with my body. And, to go to an establishment full of professionals, from warm greetings by the front desk to the registered nurse(s) that consult and administer innovative techniques to replenish and enhance my attributes is an absolute plus! Dr. Fazilat leads his team with such integrity. My latest visit was just a simple botox treatment. I look forward to my next visit, as always; I will try a recommended new facial skin treatment because the nurses' suggestions have never disappointed!

I found Dr Fazilat after researching doctors on Real Self for breast implant removal and lift.

The entire process from scheduling the first consultation through the actual procedure was was easy and smooth.

Dr Fazilat and his staff are knowledgeable and helpful in every way.

Zero issues communicating with the office- they responded right away with any questions or concerns I had after my surgery.

Any type of surgical procedure requires confidence in the doctor, and I have complete trust in Dr Fazilat and his team!

Dr.Fazilat and his team are highly professional, conscientious and attentive to patient's need. Besides, everyone I met in the clinic are caring and prompt, their nice demeanor indeed eases my distress for the arranged surgery as a new patient.

Dr.Fazilat is highly skillful as a plastic surgeon. He is swift and focused. The procedure was very smooth and fast. I didn't feel any pain during the process and I bled so little I was surprised (happily surprised).

I feel fortunate to have chosen Dr.Fazilat as my treatment surgeon since online rating may not always reflect the truth ( I referred to my horrible dentistry experience and the dentistry actually has high online rating). I experienced and believe that Dr.Fazilat is no doubt one of the best plastic surgeons in the region.

I am satisfied with the result as well as everything I have experienced. I highly recommend Dr.Fazilat and his team since they deserve all the best.

Experience was great. Dr Fasilat has an artistic way to individualize the best look for you. I appreciated how he listened and provided his recommendations. The surgery center is not super great, but his services are excellent. Higher price than others for a more professional result.

After a major weightloss I was left with a lot of hanging skin that could only be removed surgically, so I needed a surgeon experienced with fragile stretched out skin. Dr.Fazilat came highly recommended by another surgeon and after an initial consultation I was positive he was the one. He listened to all my concerns, answered all my questions and devised a plan of 3 surgeries, taking into account how recovery times fit my travel schedule. At no time have I felt pressured into something I didn't need or want. Dr.Fazilat offered his professional opinion and I'm glad I listened to him, especially where I wasn't sure what I wanted.

So far I've had 2 out of 3 surgeries and I'm very impressed with Dr.Fazilat's work, as well as his office staff and his nurses (Alix and Amy). I've had a few small complications along the way and always felt like Dr.Fazilat and his team had my back. They explained what I needed to do, kept checking on me and were ready to see me at the office any time I wanted to come in. By the way, those complications/"problems" had nothing to do with Dr.Fazilat's skills - everybody heals differently (even your own previous healing experience might be very different from your next one).

I'm glad I chose Dr.Fazilat as my surgeon. He is not one of those celebrity doctors (which is a good thing, in my opinion) and might not have a ton of reviews or before& after photos, as most patients choose not to share, but his work is amazing.

Dr. Fazilat and his team are truly the best. I spent YEARS researching doctors, breast augmentations, costs, and never felt comfortable enough to do it until I met Dr. Fazilat! Honestly, he really takes such great care of his patients and answers all the questions no matter how meticulous I felt mine were. His team are just the most wonderful and caring ladies and I’ve never felt more taken care of. Truly the best and most capable hands!

I got a tummy tuck in June 2021. Im now 9 months post op and I couldn't be happier with my results. I am for sized to Dr. Fazilat about my belly button not being long, and he gave me the most perfect belly button it looks just like my previous one. There's certain tummy tucks that you can tell by the belly button. Mine looks like I've never had a tummy tuck. I love it he's the best!!!!!
