Dr Buonassisi is an excellent surgeon, top-rated by people I know. He takes the time to patiently explain procedures. He provides beautiful & natural-looking results; it's difficult for people to detect any surgery. Andrea Stark, providing lymphatic drainage & red light therapy post-surgery, provides outstanding service & sensitive support to post-surgical patients,
I can't recommend Dr. Buonassisi and the team at 8 West enough. From my very first consultation all the way through surgery and recovery, every step of the process was excellent. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Surgery can be overwhelming, but I always felt informed, cared for, and confident that I was in great hands. The follow-up care and support during healing gave me so much peace of mind, and I always knew I could reach out if
I am 2.5 months post-op. My dorsal hump was removed, and my tip was lifted and refined by Dr. B. I did not feel pressured into anything during the consultation, either by the surgeon or his staff. The surgery experience itself was great. I chose twilight anesthesia, which Dr. B also preferred. I could hear the surgical team during the procedure, but I felt no stress and no pain. After surgery, I had significant bruising and swelling on my face and cheeks, extending down to my
Had a great rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Buonassisi. I'm a Vancouver resident and wanted someone nearby who had a good reputation. A friend of mine had her nose done with Dr. B and felt her result was very natural so I trusted him from the get go. Throughout the whole process I trusted his opinion on what he felt fit my face the best, while definitely pushing for a large difference as some of the result pictures he posted looked quite similar from the before and after. He absolutely
I was unsure of having any cosmetic surgery. I always thought it was best to leave it to mother nature. However, the hoods on my eyes were drooping into my eyesight/view and also drawing my facial expression down. I went to see Dr Buonassisi and he explained the procedure to me and showed me what he would be doing and then was so reassuring that it was up to me as to whether I should do it and that it is a personal decision. I felt no pressure at all. I think that is what
I've seen Dr. Buonassisi for both rhinoplasty and upper blepharoplasty. From the moment you walk into his office, you know you are in extremely capable hands. He is very professional, kind and knowledgeable (A+ bedside manner). He gives you a thorough consult, and makes sure your expectations align with the outcome he can give you. It is apparent how much he cares about creating the best outcome, and ensuring you leave happy with your results. If you are looking to have an amazing
A friend referred me to Dr. Buonassisi. I had been wanting rhinoplasty for years and years and finally pulled the trigger after seeing her results from him. His before and afters on the website showed very natural results and that was what I wanted. I did not want an aggressive approach and I am so happy with my results. My new nose matches what I pictured myself as, not what the mirror had been reflecting back. I am 3 months post op, so there is still some mild swelling that
I had a deep plane neck lift with Dr. Buonassisi on June 5th 2024 and the experience was excellent. Consultation: I really appreciated that he took the time to answer all my questions in a way that felt like he was genuinely happy to answer them. I’ve had consults with other doctors that seem annoyed to answer the same questions they’ve been asked a million times, but he was the opposite. He said no to an additional procedure I inquired about but gave me very good reasons why.
Dr. Buonassisi was absolutely fantastic, i would give 10 stars if i could! Starting with my consultation, it went really smooth and he walked me through the process of the procedure, what to expect, as well as what kind of results could be achieved. The day of my procedure was seamless, it was scheduled for the morning and i was done by noon. Both the staff at 8 west clinic and the surgical centre were more than amazing, they're all so kind as well as knowledgable and they made
My experience with Dr. Buonassisi was perfect from A-Z. During the initial consult he was clear, transparent and set realistic expectations - which he later over-delivered on by far! His work is outstanding. I felt safe throughout the entire procedure which was quick and smooth sailing. I say he has magic in his fingertips because the results are even greater than I had hoped for when I initially began dreaming of this upgrade to my eyes, which are now very happily rejuvenated.
