L&P Aesthetics

I interviewed several prominent Bay Area plastic surgeons after feeling like I'd been run over by perimenopause, just to get some quotes and more information. But after my consultation with Dr. Parikh, I was ready to move forward - not only is his portfolio outstanding, he specializes in natural results. What I really liked was the "signature facelift" approach as it made me feel like I'm getting a very refined approach that he has honed over the years. In addition to a deep plane face and neck lift, he also advised a lower bleph, corner lip lift, chin augmentation, brow lift and Ultraclear laser. It would basically address everything possible, and I'd be basically done for a decade at least, other than routine maitenence. His pricing was the highest of 3 surgeons I looked at by as much as double. And when I looked deeper into pricing, what I discovered was that he and Dr. Liberman are nationally known for the advanced techniques, and that the work will hold up beautifully for 10-15 years, whereas other styles may only last 3-5 years. When it comes to neck lifts, they do DEEP, and move things around so you get that really beautiful, stunning jawline. I feel like that alone is a huge factor in the end results and taking a decade or more off your face. But then when you add in the brow lift and the texture issues via Ultraclear, the results have been mind blowing. I'm 52 and in the last month have been carded twice, and someone mentioned a movie from when I was 10 as being "before my time." That did not happen before! In about 12 days I was Ok to go out socially, with scars imperceptible at that time, and 2 months later totally gone. The healing period was a little rough for sure, but worthwhile. And they offer a lot of recovery options, including red light therapy, oxygen therapy, IV's, and skincare. The entire team has been incredible, and I will continue to go back for my routine lasers and wellness.

I recently underwent a cosmetic surgery procedure, and I am very happy with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, everything was great. Dr Curti was excellent, his professionalism, expertise and care made me feel at ease. The surgery went smoothly and I am very happy at how natural and refreshed the results are. His work is truly impressive. Aditionaly the post surgery care really stood out. I came from out of the country for the procedure and everyone at L&P Aesthetics made me feel cared for. Nurse Stacey and Nurse Leslie are not only knowledgable and professional, but kind, attentive and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr Curti and everyone at L&P Aesthetics for any cosmetic surgery or procedure, they truly made a difference for me. It was worth every moment. THANK YOU!

Its a big decision to have cosmetic surgery on your face. You want to improve your appearance and at the same time, you don't want to look like you 'had work done.' Dr Lieberman provided the perfect balance for me. His honesty and experience made my decision easy one. I'm 49, had a facelift and its NATURAL.

I can’t say enough good things about Heidi! I’ve received various treatments from her over the years, and I’m beyond thrilled with the results every time. She is an absolute expert in her field, with a deep understanding of how to enhance your features in the most subtle and beautiful way.

What really sets Heidi apart, though, is her warm, upbeat personality. Heidi’s skill and humor make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

I've been a patient of Dr. Parikh's for five years, and I cannot say how happy I am to have found such a wonderfully skilled doctor with a great bedside manner. When I scheduled my first appointment, I sought him out because L&P specializes in subtle, natural results. Dr. Parikh has always listened to my aesthetic needs and also provides an honest assessment, which is why I've continued to be his patient throughout the years.

In general, L&P's practice should be a case study of what to do right! Their Palo Alto practice isn't on a busy street, which maybe you wouldn't think about until you have a PRP Treatment or procedure when you don't want to run into anyone you know (they also have designated parking spaces at their Palo Alto location)! Walking in, the practice is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The administrative team is lovely and has always been incredibly friendly and helpful. Emails and phone calls are returned promptly, and I've only waited in a room for 5-10 minutes. As a patient, mom, and busy professional, I have so much appreciation for these details.

I plan on continuing to be a patient of Dr. Parikh's for a very long time. His level of care and expertise in his field, from surgery to injectables- are truly the best. Finding the perfect doctor has been a matter of trial and error, so I hope this review is helpful if you're considering Dr. Parikh!

Amazing. Great team. Doctors were exceptional and super informative. Came in from Florida specifically for their care and they did not disappoint. Office was gorgeous and staff takes tremendous care of you

I had been using lip fillers for a few years and have had the filler dissolved then filled then dissolved again. When I first had filler done it was great I liked how it gave a little me the volume that I had lost from aging, but after a few years the filler started to weigh down the area above my top lip and made my face appear longer. After researching lip lift surgeons for months I decided to go with Dr. Lieberman from L&P Aesthetics. From the staff to the consultation I have never felt so welcomed, comfortable, and spoken to with kindness. Dr. Lieberman, Jenny, and the entire staff treated me like I was a friend. I live about an hour and half away and would not think of going anywhere else. I trust Dr. Lieberman and L&P Aesthetics completely. I could write so much more but my pictures are also proof. It has been 17 days since the surgery and my results are incredible. I have so much more confidence and love the results. While there is more settling that will happen everything is healing so well. I will post another update after a month. Thank you so much Dr. Lieberman and the staff at L&P Aesthetics.

These are progress photos of my procedure with Dr. Lieberman at L&P Aesthetics. They are a 17 day timeline of healing. I fortunately had very little pain and at 3 weeks I will be able to return to my regular exercise routine. I will also be given some massaging exercises to do after 6 weeks. I am so thankful for Dr. Lieberman’s expertise, kindness, and all around positive person. I am thrilled with the results so far and the fact that there is no scar visible at only 17 days post op. The redness is normal and I am being very consistent with the scar gel and sunscreen. I am using sunscreen and a hat when I am outdoors and limit that at this point.

4 weeks post lip lift and I am still slightly swollen and my incision area feels stiff and tight so I am still careful with movements. I am able to work out again also. You will see that I have redness at the incision line which is to be expected. I am using sunscreen and Bio Corneum scar gel with SPF 30.

It has been 7 weeks post lip lift and I am seeing continued healing and settling. Looks incredible and I am so happy with he results. I can’t thank Dr. Lieberman and the L&P staff enough for being part of my journey of self care/self love. I recently went to a grad party and was complimented on my appearance. The world used was “stunning”. Thai subtle change in my face has brought balance and 100 percent confidence boosts for me.

I write this review from a different perspective. As as physician, I do have a different standard I hold my fellow physicians. I expect them to be virtually superhuman! I do expect them to have perfect bedside manners, technical skills and I expect them to be completely relatable and approachable if I see them out and about. 

With all that said, this was a wonderful experience. This is a long overdue review. I initially found this practice on yelp. I did a lot of research. Again, as a physician, I can tell you when looking for plastic surgeon to touch your face, that should be that physician's primary field of practice. There are a lot of really good plastic surgeons in the Bay Area, but the doctor that does general plastic surgery is not my first choice to touch my face. 

Initially, I have to say I was a bit put off by how long it took to get a consultation appointment. Then I realized that's a good thing! These 2 docs are so damn good that it takes weeks to get a consultation appointment. I spoke with Michelle, the surgical coordinator, who's absolutely awesome. We had a few conversations before my consultation appointment. I decided to go with Dr. Parikh. I have never met Dr. Lieberman, but I heard he was damn good. I work with a nurse that had a rhinoplasty done, she had great things to say about the Lieberman. I can tell you he does great work, by just looking at her. 

After my initial consultation with Dr. Parikh, I knew this guy was good. Although their cost was way higher than other plastic surgeons in the Bay Area, I knew you get what you pay for! I had to wait months to get my procedure done, but best decision I made. By the way, I was very impressed by their staff at the Palo Alto office. As expected the office was really nice, but I was impressed by the staff. They were all very kind and accommodating, till this day I've never had a bad interactions with anyone in that office, its been almost 2 years since my procedure. In fact, I still go back to this office for anything I need. 

I finally got my procedure done, the results were way better then I could have imagined. ALL I CAN SAY IS DR.PARIKH IS FREAKIN AWESOME! You cannot tell at all that I have had anything done! This was very important to me. I wanted it to look natural and no one can tell I've had anything done at all. Almost 2 years after my surgery I still go to Dr. Parikh, in fact, one of my favorite docs of all time. If you do your research on this doc, you will figure out he's freakin good at what he does. The office is great, the staff is amazing, Michelle is awesome and Dr. Parikh is the GOAT! Maybe I'll meet Dr. Lieberman one of these days, then I let you guys in on what i think of him. I just know that my colleague is very happy with him and the work he's done. Anyways, good luck to you all. If you're looking to have any cosmetic procedure on your face, then you have come to the right place.

Trust is the main thing you want in a doctor -- especially when it comes to enhancing your appearance. When I first walked into the L&P Aesthetics (Los Gatos) and met Dr. Curti...I knew I was in the right place. He was so personable and easy to talk to. He answered ALL of my questions (which were many) and quickly quieted any worries (as a male getting rhinoplasty I had some fears as to what I would look like when I was done). I felt well supported throughout the entire surgical process (pre, during and well beyond) and have since switch facilities so that Dr. Curti and team (who are AMAZING) can take care of all my facial needs.

First, I want to say that I greatly admire and respect Drs. Lieberman & Parikh. In addition to being highly trained, skilled and meticulous surgeons, they are kind and caring nhuman beings.
I first met them on Day 2 of the COVID lockdown in March of 2020. On the day before the lockdown, I had Mohs surgery for a squamous cell carcinoma on my upper lip which left a hole the size of a dime in the center of my lip. The next day, I was scheduled for reconstructive surgery with another prominent plastic surgeon in Palo Alto. On the Friday before my Monday Mohs surgery, I received a call from the plastic surgeon’s office telling me that he was very, very ill and neither he nor his partner could perform the surgery.
Fortunately, my friend, anesthesiologist Dr. Paul Goehner, asked Drs. L& P if they would step in and they agreed.
I arrived at their office and met the two of them with one medical assistant who showed up to a closed office at the beginning of the global pandemic to perform surgery on a stranger. I will be forever grateful to them for this generous act of kindness!

Fast forward to December 15, 2023: Drs. L & P, along with anesthesiologist extraordinaire, Dr Paul Goehner, performed their Signature face and neck lift, plus a few small adjustments to my upper lip.
I am thrilled because most people have no idea I had cosmetic surgery unless I tell them. The results are subtle, but significant. A friend told me I look rested/refreshed which is exactly what I wanted.
My experience with the entire L & P team was supportive, seamless, and 100% positive. A special thank you to Stacey Tentoglou (LVN & Perioperative Lead) who became my best friend for the week following surgery during daily hyperbaric chamber sessions. Yolanda Rivera (Chief Operating Officer) was wonderful, super supportive and answered any and all questions.
P.S. I went out to dinner at a nice restaurant 14 days after surgery!
