M. Mark Mofid, MD, FACS

Back in 2016, I had 275cc round Implantech butt implants placed with Dr. Mofid. He actually created his own implant called "Natural Contour" with Implantech, featuring three natural, smooth sizes that go up to 330cc. When I first went in for surgery, we could only fit the 275cc in at the time. While everything went smoothly and still holds up well, I've known for a long time that I would want to go bigger down the road. I had pre-op yesterday and got a solid idea of what the size increase might look like. He said that since the pocket is already created I can go all the way up to 655cc if I want. After looking at those implants in office, I can safely say the 655 is huge and very heavy, and I do not want to go that large. I can't fathom it holding up well. I have added photos of some of the different implants for you guys to look at. I am looking for a dramatic increase with an eye-catching bubble butt while still keeping in mind that I have a tiny frame and am wanting a safe option. The size below 655 in Implantech is 485cc, which is a nice increase from 275cc but significantly smaller than the 655. He is special ordering 548cc from AART to use as a potential option as well. This is really nice of him because he has always used Implantech, so for that reason I am a little hesitant to branch out even though I like the size option. For reference, I'm 5'5" and 120 lbs. He will ultimately decide on the table which option is best. Surgery is 3 weeks out. I'm excited but also a nervous wreck! Please note I have scoliosis so my butt and hips slightly asymmetrical by default Updated on 19 May 2025: So I’m out of surgery and have a nurse staying with me for the next 3 days. Mofid asked me which size I wanted and I said I was leaning towards 548 unless he felt even slightly it wasn’t safe, then to do the 485cc (rounds). Not going to lie, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster today. I respect a decision made around safety but I’m already feeling like we went too small. I guess time will tell. I think Mofid just leans strongly towards natural looks, I kind of wanted mine slightly fake looking, which I did relay to him. Again, I’ll know more in a month or two. I keep reminding myself it’s day one and they will drop and fluff. Post-op is tomorrow so I will keep you posted. I did add lipo to the flanks as well for an additional $2800. Way less painful than I expected, my butt hurts far more than my hips. I’m really hoping the lipo will give me the extra pop needed to make up for using the smaller size. It’s been so long since I’ve done this and I really don’t remember the drop and fluff process from last time. My butt is definitely flattish and boxy in the mirror which I do recall was the case the first time as well, but later rounded out. Any other ladies who felt this way at first - did you grow to love them after some time passed? Or did they not round out as much as you hoped? Updated on 20 May 2025: Had my post-op today, everything went well. I asked about how Mofid chose the size and apparently 485cc is the absolute biggest he could fit in the pocket. I'm starting to fall in love with it now. It's definitely an emotional journey having something like this done, and moments of doubt are likely inevitable. But after seeing how I look in my pants I'm pretty satisfied. It definitely has more of a pop than it did before, and my liposuction is already starting to look good too. I'll take some more pictures when I'm feeling up to it. Updated on 22 May 2025: Yesterday was the hardest day for me physically. I was very swollen and in a lot of pain. Still no bowel movement as of today either. However, I took these pics and can definitely see a difference when compared to my pre-op pics I uploaded (of me in the blue shirt). I can’t wait for these implants to drop and take on a more rounded shape. This recovery is brutal, im glad i over prepared. A female urinal, grabber, and tons of loose cotton dresses have been of major help. Updated on 1 Jun 2025: Tomorrow is my two weeks post-op. I have taken pictures and video literally every single day, and slowly but surely the boxy shape is rounding out. The swelling has also gone down a lot from what it was. I'm purposely uploading pictures that don't use flattering clothes or angles to give a realistic idea of what my healing looks like. I fly home next week and will take some pics in different clothes. I'm happy to say my silhouette is looking great, I'm no longer an apple shape but have a nice hourglass going for the first time in my life. For any ladies doing this surgery, I highly recommend you add on the waist lipo. These implants are also a little wider than my previous ones. At this point my butt has been changing almost daily so I'm not entirely sure what the end result will look like. I'm definitely hoping for continued rounding and more projection as things fluff. I look forward to seeing how I look in shorts and yoga pants when I get home. My mobility is pretty good and I've been using a grabber for anything I have to pick up off the floor. Walking is about 70% back to normal. Still no sitting until week 3. Updated on 21 Jun 2025: Monday will mark my five weeks post-op, and I'm so happy to say my butt finally dropped and fluffed! Around week 3-4 when I started sitting again my butt just went POOF lol. I cannot even describe the emotional rollercoaster of seeing the flatter, smaller result those first few weeks, then the relief and surprise when it suddenly enlarged so quickly. I'm a lot more mobile now but certainly not 100%. Still walking a little funny but not too badly. No bending allowed still, I've been using my grabber for everything. Anyways I love my new hourglass figure and round booty. Mentally I'm still adjusting to my new look - I still have small booty mentality lol. But in person I've been turning heads. Very happy with my result! Pardon the dirty mirror pics! Even these $6 Walmart leggings look great now. I'm holding off on trying on thongs or super tight clothing until week 6 just to be extra mindful of my healing. Updated on 30 Jun 2025: Well, today is my 6 weeks post op! It's been a long, emotional and tough journey, but it has absolutely been worth it. I'm allowed to sit with no pillow now and in two weeks can start resuming light gym work (but still another 6 weeks until I can do heavy glute training). I walk completely normally and can bend freely. I sat a lot today, and although there were moments I needed a break and was lightly sore, I held up very well. I had a 5 hour hair appointment and brought my pillow for that, but then went to a 2 hour dinner and sat directly on not the best chairs and was still okay, although I did take a couple standing breaks. Each day is easier than the last. Here are some thirst traps I took via snapchat and decided to share here as well. Updated on 22 Jul 2025: Okay — now that I’m just over two months out, I feel ready to give my completely honest review. As you can see from my previous updates, this has been an emotional, up-and-down journey for me. I’ve attached a comparison photo here showing my before (275cc, left) and after (485cc rounds, right). First, let me say: Dr. Mofid is a genuinely kind and responsive doctor. His bedside manner is excellent, and he has continued to answer questions and emails long after surgery. He also delivered a natural, harmonious result with safety as a clear priority — which is rare for this procedure. That said, I do feel he overpromised and underdelivered on impact. From the beginning, he told me we could go as high as 655cc if I wanted. I didn’t choose that size, but hearing that it was an option gave me the impression we had a lot of room to work with. I expressed repeatedly that I wanted a dramatic, head-turning result — I’m an exotic dancer and influencer, so aesthetics are central to my work. You can imagine my confusion when, post-op, I asked about the lack of projection and was told a 655cc jump would’ve been impossible — and that typically only a 50% increase is safe. We did hit 76%, which is great, but I really wish this had been explained more clearly before surgery. It makes no sense to me that 655cc was presented as a viable option, but then later I'm told that 485cc was pushing it as is. While he is a great surgeon, I think he may have a been a mismatch for my specific goals. Dr. Mofid is known for subtle, natural-looking results. I should have factored that in more to my decision, but I thought that being very clear about my vision, combined with his confidence in the sizing possibilities, I would get what I wanted. My results are beautiful — just not what I asked for. I feel a lot of this could have been avoided with a more thorough pre-op sizing discussion. For example, I later found out there was a 460cc option that had less width but slightly more projection than the 485ccs I received. I’ve also learned that some surgeons can custom-order from Implantech. None of this was explained to me at the time. In my earlier reviews, I was feeling optimistic because the fluffing had begun, and there are outfits and angles that really play up the results. But overall — factoring in the cost, downtime, lost income, and physical toll of recovery — it feels like a modest payoff. I had hoped this would be THE surgery to finally achieve my goal. Instead, I’m left wondering if I’ll have to do this again someday, or just accept that the “Insta baddie” look may never happen for me. To be fair, I still can’t work out my glutes for another month, so I plan to give it a full 6 months of gym time before deciding anything further. But even close friends and family — my mom and aunt included — have said the results are “pretty” but more subtle than expected. When your own mom says it… you know it’s not just in your head, lol. So once again, this isn’t me throwing shade on Dr. Mofid. He’s safe, experienced, and a caring person. If you’re looking for a natural enhancement, he’s a great choice. But if your goals lean more toward a highly sculpted, dramatic aesthetic — especially if you work in industries such as mine — I would say to consult someone who specializes in that look. Updated on 30 Aug 2025: Okay, so I'm over three months out at this point. I've been back at the gym for just under two weeks now - obviously not long enough to see gains but it feels great to be back. I REALLY lost my strength - I used to be able to hip thrust quite heavy and now I use baby weights for everything lmao and still get sore. But it is coming back quickly and I'm happy to say, my butt implants feel completely one with me now and do not interfere with my exercise one bit. Here are some pics of how I'm looking. These shorts are quite flattering but regardless I have fluffed a bit more, and certain angles are looking a lot better. I still want another 1-2+ inches of projection which I'm hoping to achieve via the gym. I will keep you guys posted in the coming months. Overall I feel completely back to normal however if a guy grabs my ass super hard it will feel sore for a day or so, and sometimes I still get brief waves of nerve regeneration in the implant and lipo areas. But it is no big deal at all. Sitting isn't an issue unless it's for hours on end (like long plane rides) and even then it's still manageable. My liposuction looks amazing. My waist is noticeably more snatched - it took the full three months to settle into its final result. Even when I'm bloated my waist looks good. I definitely see a swoop from my back to my butt that I never had before, and it's more indented from the sides. The lipo is perfect and I'm very happy I added it on last minute.

I have nothing but, amazing things to say about Dr Mofid. He was able to assist me with a augmentation revision that was very problematic. My right breast kept bottoming out. After having other surgeons try fix it multiple times without a resolution I decided to see Dr Mofid. It has been over a year now and I am so happy with the results. My breast look fantastic and things are right where they should be. Dr Mofid is very professional and is meticulous with his work. I would recommend him to anyone.

I am so pleased with my eye surgery. I can see again and have healed beautifully. And, every person in this practice, the staff and Dr, Mofid have been amazing. Always friendly, informative and willing to go the extra when need extra info or . Thank you all so very much...

I just want to say that I’m so incredibly happy and satisfied with my breast reduction and lift. Two months post op and I’ve enjoyed how low maintenance my breast have been since. Excellent plastic surgeon and office staff.

I was in a car accident and had a deveated septum and lots of scar tissue. The only lived with the pain for 10 months until I Dr Mofid was able to put me back to normal. It's only been 6 weeks and I no longer have headaches, my breathing is 100 percent, and I am finally starting to look like my old self again. Thank you Dr Mofid

I came in for a buttock augmentation. From the time I went in for my consultation to the actual procedure to the follow up appointments, it was all super smooth! Dr. Mofid did a fantastic job! My body looks so proportional...my new butt balances out everything! His staff is super awesome, friendly and professional! I could not have asked for more! My experience with this office was truly amazing!

About a month ago I got a rhino/septoplasty with Dr. Mofid. Him and his team made my first time surgery experience so incredible! His team was very attentive and I truly felt that I was being taken care of in the way that I wanted to be. I love that they had a perfect game plan to give me the results I wanted. I felt that they really cared about making the experience a good one for me and it really could not have been better. My results are better than I could have ever imagined! I feel more confident than ever now and I feel that my results are naturally beautiful. I also can breathe so much better. THANK YOU DR. MOFID!!

The procedure exceeded our expectations. Dr. Mofid was very descriptive before the procedure and did an excellent job with the care during and after. His staff was very helpful through the process with questions that arose.

Everyone in Dr.Mofids team has been more than amazing with treating me like the ultimate VIP patient in excellent hospitality to perfection in my surgery! He helped me become more confident in myself and changed my life for the better! Everyone was supportive and postive at every visit and i highly recommend Dr. Mofid to anyone whos looking to get any procedures done!

Completed 5’2 113 lbs going back 4 the 2nd surgery for fuller projection in 10-12months again. I want to start off this review by saying The majority of doctors here on RealSelf that are from places like Beverly Hills, Los Angeles orange county, New York, Miami, Chicago, Houston all certified board surgeons, could not offer me the technique and precision it takes to do a proper butt implant revision surgery which Dr. Mark Mofid was able to not only promise me but executed perfectly. I am one of the most meticulous patients when it comes to my body. My butt was botched by Dr. Hector Milla in Tijuana six years ago when I was younger and very eager to have my bubbly butt that I didn’t do my research before going under the knife with this doctor in Mexico. I learned my lesson always do your research and go with multiple plastic surgeons before you make a decision, I have learned that lesson throughout my plastic surgery procedures. All of the doctors I went to wanted to leave me without butt Implants for six months and others were telling me that I might need three surgeries and Others were telling me they could do it bigger than 300 CC but after doing a lot more research on bigger can cause you more problems like developing an infection where your implants have to be removed again LOL why would doctors do that? To take your money there's no other reason. I don't care what other plastic surgeons have to say about my review I think people need to know these types of cases to avoid going to not very skilled plastic surgeons. When I met Dr. Mofid through a virtual consultation he told me he could do it and that I was going to leave the same day with butt implants. He had great reviews zero deaths zero lawsuits but of course, I still had my doubts because every single doctor was telling me a different story. ( But really quick I'm going to include this there's a doctor in Miami and in Los Angeles that have lawsuits and deaths like I said I don't know if I can say all that on here on RealSelf but for sure I'm going to be making a YouTube video just specifically to talk about each and one individual plastic surgeon). OK going back to what I was talking about Dr. Mofid, I Was so nervous and in doubt still with doctor Mofid. I almost backed out a day before my surgery during my preop appointment. But after my husband did extensive research for the 2nd time he still couldn’t find anything negative on Dr. Mofid online. That Helped me make my decision and helped me get past my fear the day before my appointment. Dr. Mofid doesn’t talk a lot throughout the consultations or visits but that’s because he knows his work and he knows when everything is fine. He under promises and over delivers as I had mentioned to him I wanted more hip volume, he told me he probably wasn’t going to be able to do that but when I woke up from surgery I woke up with hips. unlike other doctors that talk a lot and they don’t deliver. Especially Ryan Stanton and Kimberly Henry those were the two worst ones that left me in tears. I was not going to share my experience online but now I want to leave this review for all the girls who have had a botched butt implant surgery ( which is one of the most painful and risky surgeries) which I have seen a lot on YouTube sharing their stories about how they had to remove their implants and be without them for almost one year due to not healing correctly and improperly putting in the implant. People have left reviews about Dr. Mofid talking about him being very cocky and not taking time with patients in the room but I would be cocky too if I was skilled like dr Mofid. I personally prefer a cocky doctor that Under promises but delivers results versus a doctor that talks a lot over promises results but doesn't deliver. I am talking above and beyond about this plastic surgeon Dr. Mofid because he’s the one that gave me hope because if you guys don’t know once you remove butt implants your skin sags and it looks very awful and that’s why I was crying the whole time when every doctor would tell me the same thing “ that I needed to remove my implants for six months to a year. And other doctors would tell me that they can remove them and put in Implants as big as 400 cc’s this was a Houston doctor named Dr. Franco and I didn’t feel comfortable with his response because I know going under the muscle the biggest you can go is 300 cc’s to let’s say 320 cc’s safely it all depends on the individual. So with Dr. Mofid I was still nervous as hell like I was scared regardless I’ve been through a lot with this botched ass that a Tijuana doctor did. And it was not so much it being botched it was more that he lied to me and did not go intramuscular like he said he did he went above the muscle and the implant was very visible and it moved and me being so petite no doctor felt comfortable fixing it. I was Supposed to go back in six months to go bigger with doctor Hector Milla in Tijuana, But he shut me down and told me that his supplier no longer sold the implants that I needed to go bigger and he couldn’t do it anymore which was a complete lie because dr. Mofid confirmed the implant was in fact above the muscle. That is why Dr. Milla turned me away. He took my money and ran pretty much. I continue to lie to this day Insisting he did do it intramuscular insisting he did do it intramuscular. Now I know that all the other doctors in Beverly Hills Los Angeles cannot reconstruct other plastic surgeons jobs because they are not confident enough with their own skill and they don’t feel safe performing reconstructive butt implants because they’re not skilled enough for the task. Believe me, I called and went to every single one. It literally took me about a year of research and consultations to make my decision on a doctor. I will be doing a video on YouTube talking about each and every plastic surgeon I met with before coming across Dr. Mofid‘s platform. But I’ll leave that information on here later because I’m still healing and I will be going back for a second surgery end of this year hoping to achieve the projection I have been desiring for the past six years. I'm currently at the beginning of week three of recovery. I want to end this review by saying that Dr. Mofids main priority is his patients safety and that's what we all should take into consideration before anything before going under the knife and giving your money to any doctor. There's been a lot of deaths with BBL botched Implants it's just crazy to trust just any doctor. Just because they are board-certified does that mean they are skilled and specialist at Butt Implants. Or BBL. I'm not saying that all doctors are not good but you need to understand that just because one is a plastic surgeon does not mean he is skilled to perform surgeries with great results in every part of your body each doctor is skilled To do breast reconstructive surgery rhinoplasty whatever part of your body you want to enhance or correct make sure it's a doctor that is specialized to do that particular procedure. Do your research online on RealSelf and other platform types. Also, add The doctors name along with add lawsuits/deaths When searching. It's crazy to see so many doctors on RealSelf that have so many bad reviews and botched surgeries even deaths that are commenting and giving their advice and pointers it is baffling.
