I’m a 66-year-old woman whose face and spirt no longer aligned due to saggy skin on my neck and jawline. After extensive online research, I decided to consult with Dr. Vargas due to her impressive medical background, specialty in facial/neck surgery and numerous glowing reviews from former patients. That turned out to be a great decision! I had never had cosmetic treatments (nor surgery of a...

I had my nose repaired after a cancer removal. Dr. Kimura did an amazing thing by taking a slice out of my forehead, turned it around and connected it to the area of my nose. This flap of skin kept it alive while it healed. After several weeks the forehead piece made a healthy connection to my nose and then the bridging piece was removed. The results are very good. What would have been a major...

I had a face lift, laser and brow lift. I was reluctant to do the laser but am so glad I did. The Dr. is fantastic, he looks at you, makes suggestions, and still manages to make you feel good about the way you are. No preassure, just information. After the procedures the Dr and team were always available and supportive. I went to 5 surgeons before Dr. Swanson and couldn't commit to the...

I spent a decade wearing baggy shirts over my slacks and leggings so the flabby skin over a c-section scar wouldn't show. I literally changed my clothing style to hide the roll of skin on my lower abdomen due to the scar. A friend had a similar issue and told me Dr. Hodge had done an abdominoplasty. Her abdomen was now flat and she was thrilled! I immediately made an appointment and within two...

Dr. Marley and I met twice before scheduling my facelift procedure. It was easy to communicate with him and I came to feel he fully understood my goals. Such an undertaking is huge and the potential impacts can’t be overstated. I had confidence in Dr. Marley and he did my procedure in early August of 2024. My recovery has been steady, with minimal discomfort and I am totally happy with m...

I had a very complex case of extreme assemetry. A DD and a B, I had wanted to get this done for a long time, yet didn’t have the money, until I decided to just do it. In November of 2019 I had a lift and different size implants to try and even them out, there was still some difference as the small boob was the big boob. About a year later we had another opportunity to get it right as the i...

I had a wonderful experience with every aspect of my surgery. Dr. Cortez and his staff are friendly and professional. Most importantly, Dr. Cortez is a perfectionist! He takes his time when evaluating and explaining what will be involved in your procedure. I was not nervous, at all, because I know that he takes great pride in his work. I had a lower face lift and I know it looks totally...

Over the past few years my breast have gotten bigger and bigger. It didn't matter if I lost weight, my breasts wouldn't go anywhere. So I decided to take the plunge a few years ago and was denied by my insurance, and at time I was a 36G. 2 years later, under a different insurance and currently wearing a 36L, I was approved! Thank God because I was about to cut them off myself. It's been 2 days...

My face was moving south, with jowls forming next to my mouth, giving me a sad, tired appearance. On November 3 I had a lower facelift with Dr. Kriet. Thanks to him the surgery and recovery have been easy and nearly pain free with excellent results. No one would dream I had surgery just 13 days ago. The results are amazing, yet very subtle and natural. Last, but equally important, Dr....

How old do you I really look? I graduated from college in 1980 but obtained my masters degree in 1994 - bottom-line, when I apply for jobs the only date I put on my resume is the masters graduation which takes 10 plus years off my age. So when I was suddenly back in the job market at age 60 - no problem... right? Wrong. My turkey neck gave me away. Those three different jobs that I was perfect...
