Maan Kattash, MD, FRCS, FACS - Account Suspended

Dr Kattash made me feel very comfortable, no pressure to have the procedure done. But he explained everything very well. I researched a couple of other doctors before Dr KATTASH and he came to me by referral. I am very happy with my results. I am a 61-year-old female and had a tummy tuck and liposuction. The results far exceeded what my expectations were. The office experience with his staff is also very professional. He is so calm and courteous and expertise in his field. I would highly recommend surgery with Dr KATTASH. I wish I would have done pictures but I did not feel confident in myself, so I did not want before an after’s but now I wish I would have done them

Two weeks out from an explant, lift, and liposuction, a figure that far surpasses my wildest dreams is emerging, and all I keep thinking is, the best blessings come completely disguised.

This unexpected turn of events began when one of my eleven-year-old implants ruptured in July. My husband’s going through prostate cancer and it’s been a rough road, mentally and financially. I couldn’t believe the bad timing.

I immediately called my original Doctor in Newport Beach. He recommended an implant exchange and lift at a cost of nearly 30K - triple what I’d paid for the same surgery in 2012. The explant I really wanted would be even more. I was devastated. We don’t have that kind of money lying around, especially now when we’re drowning in co-pays for prostate treatments. I’ve never felt so depressed. Then a friend suggested I see the doctor that did her explant surgery…

I called doctor Kattash and he saw me the same day. Unlike so many other plastic surgery practices, his is not pretentiousness in the slightest. The staff were warm and genuine, instantly putting me at ease. During the consultation, I pretty much broke down relaying my unfortunate circumstances. Doctor Kattash gave me a hug and said he’d take care of me - and that he did, for a third of the cost of my first quote.

Not only did he remove my implants and give me beautiful, natural breasts and a chiseled torso, he restored the self confidence I’d lost throughout this ordeal. I owe Doctor Kattash a huge debt of gratitude, not only for his magnificent talent at body-sculpting, but for running his practice in such an admirable, ethical way. Thank you, Rebecca and team, for holding my hand throughout the process and turning an unexpected surgery into an actually pleasant experience. Forget five stars, he deserves ten!

Doctor has been referring me for this procedure for the last 8 years due to back, shoulder and rib pain. Consulted with other surgeons over the years and did not have confidence in them. Met Dr. M. Kattash and immediately felt good about procedure. His office was clean and professional, Rebecca was amazing and instilled confidence. Rebecca handled all the insurance concerns. Dr. Kattash met with me twice prior to surgery and also met with my husband which my husband appreciated.

The procedure was more intense than I was prepared for. A breast reduction is completely different than and augmentation! I had about 60 stitches from one side of my body to the other, also up the center for cleavage and around the nipples. (I felt like Frankenstein) It was more painful than I anticipated, however I did return to work after 4 days. A week would have been better. The pain was never excruciating but it was painful and uncomfortable. It was better after they drains were removed after the first week.

After about 4-6 weeks I felt more like myself. I am 3 months out now and I am thrilled with the decision to have this done. My back and shoulder pain have gone away. My rib pain is less and reducing every day! I feel so much better physically and emotionally! I love how I look in clothes, bras are easier to purchase and cheaper. I am now a 34DD.

My experience with Dr. Kattash was AMAZING. He is very professional, down to earth and made me feel very comfortable. The ladies in the office are very nice as well. For a few months I was searching for a plastic surgeon, I went to 2 different doctors but was not very convinced with the pictures I saw on their website I finally found Dr. Kattash and decided to go with him. I am so happy with my results, If I had to do it all over again I would definitely do it. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I went from a small b cup to a 36DD and my tummy looks great.

Dr. Kattash is an incredible doctor, caring, and an exceptional professional. My tummy tuck and rinoplasty job look amazing. Totally recommended. I had a very fast recovery and my after care was top of the line. Dr. Kattash knows exactly what his patients need and makes sure that his procedures are completed in the best form possible. I loved his job and would totally come back to him if ever needed. Dr. Kattash is the best.

Dr. Kattash and staff were amazing. I'm very happy with my results. Dr is very knowledgeable and answered every question I asked. Very professional and caring. I would recommend him to everyone. And did I say I love love my results. One happy patient.

I was referred to Dr.Kattash by family two of my cousins and my aunt got a full body procedure seeing the results in 3 different type of bodies couldn't speak less of his amazing work. I had to take a leave at work I decided to make an appointment and I made the decision right away after meeting with DR and his Staff and Rebecca made it happen quick since I needed time recovery before I was back to work. I couldn't be happier with results I'm 24 years old 5'1 mommy of a 5 year old after my pregnancy I went back to my skinny self but in the last 3 years I gained weight I was not able to loose by working out the number was not a problem but I was not happy with my shape, I got a liposuction and fat transfer to but. What I LOVE the most is my waist didn't thought I would see it again and my but was a decent size but why not make use of my fat I'm happy with the results is bigger still looks natural. Most important of all Dr.Kattash has a very natural genuine personality.

Hey girls. My BA is 4 days away. I am so excited and anxious I just want it to happen already!! Right now I'm scared that recovery will be super painful. And second, I hope I've chosen a big enough cc for me. The first pictures I am uploading are my BEFORE pictures. I'll post some of my wish pictures afterwards. Wish me luck!

I'm sooo excited... it feels surreal... my palms are already sweating and whenever I imagine the procedure my heart skips a beat. Wish me luck and please pray for me girls. Thank you so much real self, this app has been an amazing aid in helping me with this surgery.

Wow, what a crazy experience. I'm now wrapped in bandages. The pain is bad but nothing I can't handle for now.. I can't wait to see them tomorrow.

Updated on 30 Jan 2017:
Someone please help me my pain meds are not working st all I'm in so much pain. My left breast feels like a surge of energy is going through it but my right feels fine. I can barely breathe because when I breathe deep it hurts. I'm in so much pain I can't stop crying

Updated on 31 Jan 2017:
Last night had to have been one of the worst, I know today will be too. My follow up appointment is this afternoon, where I will express my pain to my plastic surgeon. I have finally seen what they look like without the gauze.. here is a picture.

I can't stop crying. My PS gave me a shot for the pain but it didn't help one bit. This surge through my left breast is unbearable. I'm so frustrated I just want this week to be over I can't handle this anymore

Updated on 1 Feb 2017:
The sharp pain in my left breast is unbearable and agonizing my doctor told me it's because they used a bigger implant on the smaller breast but it's so sensitive and a sharp pain happens either when I stand or adjust the bra. I am now taking two tylenols with codeine every four hours to ease the pain and even that is not helping. I'm not sure what to do I just want it to end

Updated on 1 Feb 2017:
My right breast is healing fine. My left is killing me. Doc says it's because I went from a small A cup to a small D cup, but it is unbearable. I want this to be over. I just want to enjoy my augmentation and so far it's verb the most painful experience i Have ever had.

Updated on 2 Feb 2017:
Hi girls. I'm not going to lie,the first couple days have been so rough. Thankfully I have amazing friends and family that are helping me. I still have pain in my left breast but it's less than yesterday and for that I am thankful. I am really hoping tonight I can take off my compression bra and see what they look like.

Updated on 3 Feb 2017:
First time I've seen them without bandage and compression bra. Still having spasms through left.

Updated on 4 Feb 2017:
I'm going to try my best to be active and have a little more movement. This pain is horrible. I'm ready for the drop and fluff. They look sooooo frankenboob lol

Updated on 6 Feb 2017:
One week ago exactly was my augmentation. The pain is still there but still manageable. I'm tired of sleeping on my back. I needed to take one more week off work. Trying to do arm excersizes because I am a waitress and need to get back to work ASAP. I'm also soooo bloated. Can't wait for that to go down. Although I'm still in pain, I couldn't help but try on a bralette that I didn't like on me before.

Updated on 8 Feb 2017:
It hurts so bad. Especially because I wake up several times during the night to go to the bathroom. When will this pain end?????

Updated on 9 Feb 2017:

Updated on 10 Feb 2017:

Looking better. Starting to feel better. Very sensitive to touch. Side profile still sucks.. really wanting and hoping they get way more softer than they are now. Starting to feel like real boobs haha.

Updated on 3 Mar 2017:
My right is dropping so much quicker than my left.... it sucks

Updated on 20 Mar 2017:
Left is still a little behind. I've been trying to massage to make it drop quicker. Pain is pretty much gone at this point. :) side profile lowering finally!

Updated on 4 Apr 2017:
My left is dropping so slow. Left nipple isn't aligned with right. Right is rounding out and dropping. Left seems like it hasn't done much dropping at all. U can't really tell in the picture but u can tell in person and when I wear a shirt with no bra you can see my nipples don't align. I'm worried because I've been massaging a lot too. :(

I still can't believe I have boobs now. Even though I know they still have ways to go, today I LOVE them. So happy. :-)

You guys… breast implant illness is real. I’m getting my implants removed after all these years next month. I’m actually so excited to remove them. I’ve gotten sick over the years and have an extensive list of symptoms. I also have gotten to the point in my life where the look of implants don’t serve me. I wish I would’ve accepted and loved myself as I was.

I have always wanted bigger boobs but was never sure about taking the plunge. I had gained about 70 between both pregnancies. two years ago I decided to get in the best shape of my life (at 37). I lost about 30lbs and with that comes the loss of breast tissue. So I really wanted boobs. I am basically flappy skin.

I had 2 consultations. The first one was great. However, the Dr. said I did not need a lift just bigger implants. I thought, yay! But the I remembered gravity. I went to 2nd consult, on a recommendation from a family member, with Dr. Kattash. Loved it. He told me I needed a lift O_o. I was like that wasn't in my budget but I knew he was telling the truth. So I bit the bullet and put the deposit down. Surgery is scheduled for 12/22 @ 6:30am.

I am excited and nervous...I am a natural over thinker and just want everything to go perfect..no complications!

I look flat.

Surgery went smooth. Sore and sore

Updated on 23 Dec 2015:
Sore sore and sore. Right boob has started to drop left sitting high but has moving through the out the day. I am pleased.

My incision is around my nipples and I had 475 Ccs high profile.

Hey ladies.
I can raise my arms almost all the way. I'm only taking extra strength Tylenol and the antibiotic. Both breast are swollen. Left is high, high high. Right boob is lower. I have not real complaints. There is some feeling in my tight nipple but not my left. Finally took a real shower today and left the house for a couple of hours for Christmas activities. Definitely wearing my band to help with the dropping. Ice packs are great. Here are some pics.

Today I had my stitches removed around the incision around the nipples. My right nipples has some sensation my left does not. Dr. Kattash said boobs are healing well and I got the instructions for massaging. My left breast is still high but after massaging it a tiny bit in the office,, it began to drop. Overall I am super pleased with the results so far.

Updated on 11 Jan 2016:
Overall I feel great. Got back into the gym today. Lower body most body weight work and 15 min on treadmill. Left boob Is still riding high but has settled more and more. I think I'm on the right path. Massaging 3x a day(plus). Incisions healing well.

So after reading a fellow RFers update about bras at Kohls I went today and the had wire free 18 hour bras on sale for 19.99. I bought 2. The 2nd bras was 2.64!!!! Not sure why but I'll take it!

I was referred to Dr. Kattash by a friend and from the moment I met with him I knew he was going to do a great job. He listened to what outcome I was looking for and was able to achieve the results I wanted. The girls in the office are also very friendly. It is a welcoming and knowledgable environment.
