Wonderful Experience with facial fillers

I went to Dr. Palmers office a few weeks ago for a consultation regarding my jawline and sagging in jowls. I was greeted very warmly and felt comfortable right away. Dr. Palmer and his wife who also works there, are both very knowledgeable with respect to procedures and fillers. They showed me many before and after photos and answered all of my questions. After the consultation, I decided on filler in my cheeks lips and chin area. The results were absolutely amazing! I felt like I was 10 years younger. Also the prices are very reasonable for filler. I highly recommend Dr. Palmer. I will definitely be going back again!

great experience

Every person in Dr. Palmer's office is lovely and very attentive in answering all your questions and concerns -- and Dr. Palmer did exactly what he and I discussed during our consultation. Chin implants do make a difference! :)

53 y/o male - very pleased with results

Dr. Palmer and Robyn are truly wonderful. As a 53 year old male, I never thought that cosmetic enhancements were my thing but it does make a difference. After discussing my needs with Dr. Palmer, I decided to go with his procedure and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Palmer is honest, professional, and really makes you comfortable. I will continue seeing Dr. Palmer for a very long time.

Chin Implant

NoLongerBotched

best chin implant surgeon in LA

Dr. Francis and Robyn saved me. In 2015, I had chin augmentation and lipo of the jaw line. I could have been on botched. The surgeon (who I won't name) placed a size EAC Large without trying on or showing me the implant ahead of time and removed an unheard of amount of fat. The implant stretched and damaged my muscle and smile. The damage between the lipo and implant was so bad, the top surgeons in the world turned me away. In 2016, I finally found someone to replace some the fat that was removed but he was uncomfortable replacing the implant with the smallest available one because of the damage and pocket size. I suffered and I waited another year, shopping for a surgeon would take me under their wing. I spent so long researching and I finally found Dr. Francis Palmer. Robyn, his patient coordinator invited me in to talk with her, after spending nearly an hour with me on the phone discussing what had happened. It's LA... not many people care...but, she did. She really cared. She invited me in and we chatted while I waited for Dr. Palmer. She gave me an emergency appointment with no consult charge. The three of us talked about all my options and Dr. Palmer knew immediately what I wanted and needed... AN EAC SMALL chin implant because the pocket had to be filled and I had such a small petite face. He joked with me and made me feel like... how my mom or dad would as a kid if I fell off my bike and hurt myself. He knew he could help fix the problem. We made the appointment for the surgery and they asked me to come in AGAIN, just to clarify everything, try on and talk. I decided to do the chin implant removal & replacement under local because he is the best at this. Minimal damage, no pain, it's done in 30 minutes and you can drive home. I didn't feel a thing! I cried a bit out of nervousness because my first experience was so traumatic, and he stopped briefly to pat my arm and tell me he was right there, how tough I am, how well I am doing and how great it looks and he wouldn't let anything bad happen. This is the surgeon you need to see. It's LA and surgeons only care about your money. I have met with over 20 surgeons and Dr. Palmer is the only one I trust. He is genuine and has the best bedside manner and he didn't turn me away. He practices because he cares... he does reconstructive because he knows he has the skills to help... I am still blown away. I thought I would be stuck "botched" forever. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Palmer and his team.

The Recovery Time Is Nothing Less Than MAGIC

Did a lot of research meeting 4 surgeons before finding Dr. Palmer; he offered something completely different from any other Doctor a "Mini-Incision Facelift." Ten days after the surgery no one knew a thing; there was almost no bruising with one black & blue spot on my neck. It really was incredible how fast I recovered. You don't have to stop your life and hide for a month - I am 60 and now I look 50! A special shout-out to his "Wonder Women." Andi who held my hand, cause I'm a baby when I get a shot and Robyn who gave me a hug when I needed it. These ladies made me feel so safe and loved.

Professional and Personable

When I decided I wanted my lips to be a bit fuller, I asked a few friends who they recommended. All three of the girls that I asked swore by the Palmer's practice and now I do as well! I have been told that other plastic surgeons try to rush you in and out of their office if you are getting a simple procedure such as injections in your lips; the Palmers spent over an hour from start to finish answering all of my questions! Dr. Palmer and his wife are extremely professional, kind people! I had such a lovely experience and look forward to seeing them again in the coming months.

Restylane Lift - Beverly Hills, CA

Thank you Dr. Palmer. You are truly amazing; However, it is not just how you gave me a beautifully lifted face using only restylane filler, but your integrity and superior code of ethics that stands out above any other physician I have ever consulted for cosmetic procedures. I went to see Dr. Palmer for a revision of neck lift surgical scars, and blephoplasty. After the examination, Dr Palmer said that any type of facial surgery was out of the question for me, and could possibly be a worse outcome. He suggested a filler to put volume back and he was so right. I am thrilled with the results. I feel that I look more youthful and feminine. He also suggested filler in my lips which Robyn injected, and I have never been so pleased. I had been to see numerous plastic surgeons for consultations, and all of them said I needed a complete face and neck revision to the tune of 25,000. Dr Palmer's words were " you can lay down. $40,000 in cash in front of me, and I still would not perform any surgery on your face" What a rarity.........to find a physcian who holds the patient's best interests as first and foremost. The " Palmer Code " is more then a measurement of beauty developed by Dr. Palmer. It truly encompasses his own code of ethics and dedication to giving patients the best they can be. I will definitely be seeing Dr. Palmer in the future.

67 Year Old; Loss of Facial Volume - Los Angeles, CA

Being one of the rare people on whom Botox has not been successful, I consulted Dr. Palmer for his suggestions on what might be an alternative....He took the time to talk and review my concerns. He suggested facial filler, and I am thrilled with the result. He also suggested a TCA peel which which I will be doing. Dr. Palmer is exceptionally kind, caring, and gifted. I also appreciated his honesty in not advising procedures unlikely to be successful for me... I wholeheartedly recommend him. Robyn is also a lovely and knowledgeable assistant. It has always been a pleasure to go the office...

Apple Cheeks! - Beverly Hills, CA

I want to maintain a full round cheek for a more youthful and pleasant appearance and Dr. Palmer is the best. He knows how to just apply a subtle amount of Perlane in the right places to round the cheeks without obscuring your natural bone structure and giving you a puffy look. It was incredibly important to me that I look natural because in my profession I am in front of people constantly and I did not want anyone to scrutinize my appearance and say, "Oh it looks like she has had work done." Dr. Palmer was able to gently improve my appearance without making it appear as though I have had anything done.
