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
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.
I went to Dr. Buonassisi for facial feminization surgery, which ended up being a brow lift followed two months later by rhinoplasty and upper blepharoplasty. From the initial consultation (conveniently over Zoom) to the surgeries to follow-up appointments, I felt well cared for and listened to in terms of my hopes and concerns — but I also appreciated expert advice and reasoning for recommending certain things to do or not. Dr. Buonassisi’s manner, along with the staff at 8West,
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Buonassisi, and cannot say enough good things about my rhinoplasty experience with him. I was debating getting rhinoplasty done for over 10 years, when I finally decided to go for it and when it came down to choosing my surgeon, I was looking for someone that was honest, reliable, and someone I could be confident in. From the get go, Dr. Buonassisi was honest about what I should expect as a result of my surgery, he was kind, friendly, and able
I am grateful that I had Dr. Buonassisi as my surgeon. I am happy with my results. He gave me my confidence back. Dr. Buonassisi and the staff at 8 West made me feel taken care of from the moment I contacted them for my consultation, during the procedure and at home recovering. Thank you.
