The Schwartz Aesthetic Institute & Spa

Excellent plastic surgeon with exceptional skills! She performed my mommy makeover and it exceeded my expectations and more. She is so detailed oriented and sees you at every postop visit and discusses the plan and guides you along the way. She is a genuine person and very funny! She is a hidden gem in southern california. Thank you Dr. Stark for your talents, as you gave me back my pre-baby body confidence.

I was recommended by MANY people to see Dr. Stark for my concerns. I am only 3 weeks post op and am obsessed with my looks. She addressed all my concerns and then even corrected things a previous doctor performed incorrectly.
She corrected my explanted deformed breasts and made them perfect!
She also sculpted me!! I can’t wait for the swelling to be completely gone but I already look so good!!

Dr. Stark is everything a woman is looking for in a plastic surgeon. She is detailed and thorough. She is also an artist and so that is what drew me to her in the first place. She is also pretty funny (which helps with the recovery)

I had a deep plane facelift, eyelid surgery (top and bottom lids), lip lift, and browlift. The only regret I have is that I did not do this sooner. The recovery takes weeks, but the doctor was there at every visit cheering me on and that I was healing well. I am very pleased with my results and could not recommend her more to anyone on the fence on whether to have this procedure. Thank you Dr. Stark

Dr. Stark is not only a meticulous professional and at the top of her field, but she and her team are one of the warmest and most engaged treatment teams I have ever met. Dr. Stark and Sabrina walked me through every moment of the procedure and recovery, were attentive and responsive. Her nurses in recovery were incredibly kind and thorough. Dr. Stark’s sense of humor mixed with her attention to detail make her truly exceptional and she makes you feel understood. The results of my mini abdominoplasty with liposuction were beyond anything I would have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Stark and the Schwartz institute enough.

I recently had an upper blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Jen Stark, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. During my initial consultation, I mentioned to Dr. Stark that another surgeon had previously recommended not only an upper blepharoplasty but also a brow lift, which would have added an additional $5,800 to the cost. Dr. Stark carefully examined my eyes and assured me that I would achieve the desired results with just the upper blepharoplasty—no brow lift needed.

The surgery itself was seamless, and the follow-up the next day went perfectly. My stitches were removed today, and I can already see amazing results. I know the improvements will only continue as I heal further.

Dr. Stark is incredibly friendly, professional, and truly cares about her patients. I’m so glad I chose her for my surgery. Her entire staff was welcoming and made me feel special every time I visited. I highly recommend Dr. Jen Stark to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. She is the best!

If you are looking for an amazing facelift surgeon with attention to detail. Look no further. She is hands down the best. When you meet her you will know what I mean. Not only is she an incredibly gifted surgeon, she is an empath! She listens to what you want and your concerns with a top notch bedside manner. She is trained in the deep plane method I was looking for and her lip lifts are exquisite. I healed better than expected. I was very nervous, because let’s be honest, it’s your face! But I now i feel silly for being nervous because the process was so easy. Going to a female surgeon made the difference for me. She has professionalism, empathy, compassion, and understood exactly what I wanted. Thank you Dr. Stark, you have HANDs and a HEART of gold

I recently underwent a breast lift/augmentation, and C-section scar revision with Dr. Schwartz, and I am genuinely impressed by the exceptional level of care I received. As a mom of three breast-fed babies, I struggled with the idea of “erasing” the evidence of my nursing journey, while also wanting to feel more like my old self again. This led me to call Dr. Schwartz’s office for a consultation.

From my very first visit, it was clear that this practice is different. Stephanie, the nurse who guided me through my initial consultation, was simply amazing. Her ability to listen and understand my concerns made all the difference, and her empathy and compassion instantly put me at ease. She’s bright, with a great sense of humor, which added to the comfort I felt.

April, the practice manager, was also a standout. Her attentiveness and willingness to answer all my questions demonstrated her deep knowledge of the process and her commitment to patient care. Beyond that, her approachable nature made me feel like I was speaking to a trusted friend or sister rather than a medical professional.

Jenny, the patient coordinator, was equally wonderful. Her calming and patient demeanor made her incredibly easy to talk to. Jenny took care of scheduling my surgery and follow-up appointments and clearly explained all of the payment options. Her warmth and friendliness made each interaction a pleasant experience.

The day of surgery went so smoothly. The facility itself was impressively clean and beautiful. The nurses, Danielle and Courtney, were incredible. From the first IV placement to the wheelchair ride to the car, I felt very well taken care of. After surgery, they spent time by my bedside comforting and reassuring me. We had nice conversation (from what I remember) and shared a few laughs. They are two of the kindest, most encouraging nurses I have ever met.
The anesthesiologist, Dr. Katouzian, is a brilliant yet down-to-earth person. He managed my pain perfectly and I am grateful to have been in his care.

During my second post-op appointment, I was pleased to meet Brenda. Her genuine warmth and kind nature made her easy to talk to, and it was clear that she truly cared about my recovery. Brenda’s remarkable compassion left a deep and lasting impression on me.

Dr. Schwartz is truly unparalleled in his field. Despite his incredible expertise, he remains humble and deeply dedicated to his patients. The fact that he personally answers after-hours calls speaks volumes about his commitment.

I’m deeply thankful for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Schwartz and his entire team. If you’re seeking a surgeon who combines exceptional skill with genuine humility and a patient-first approach, I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz.

I’ve had hooded eyelids my whole life and as I approached 44, it just got worse. I always wanted blepharoplasty so in November 2023, I finally took the step to get it done. Dr. Schwartz and his staff are super friendly and made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions clearly. The procedure itself was painless and quick and the recovery time was only a week. I know eyelids are just a small thing, but it’s completely changed my face and I’m in love with the results. I will be going back to Dr. Schwartz for a consultation regarding breast reduction and lift. I’ve already recommended him to friends.

I have been wanting to get a Tummy Tuck for over 15 years. I kept talking myself out of it for many reasons mostly fear of the pain. I have heard amazing things about Dr Schwartz for years, I never considered any other surgeons. I finally got the courage to go for consultation. My consultation was with Nurse Stephanie. I really did not think that I would feel comfortable having my consultation without the surgeon, however l was and booked that day. Stephanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. I am 12 weeks out now. She answered every question I have via email and phone calls. Dr Schwartz is a miracle worker he exceeded my expectations in every way. I still can not believe I did this. It really was so easy. I had very minimal pain for maybe a couple days.
That was it just uncomfortable and sore. I am in disbelief of how fast I am healing. Dr Schwartz just makes you feel comfortable and you feel like you have known him forever. I can't explain how amazing they are. If you are ever thinking about plastic surgery start with Dr Schwartz I promise you will thank me.

I recently had a tummy tuck performed by Dr. Schwartz, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Schwartz and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise.

Dr. Schwartz took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and set realistic expectations. His meticulous attention to detail and artistic approach ensured that the outcome exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth, and I felt well cared for at every stage.

The results are simply amazing – my abdomen looks flat and toned, and the scarring is minimal and well-hidden. Dr. Schwartz's skill and dedication to patient care truly shine through in his work. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz to anyone considering a tummy tuck or any other cosmetic procedure. Five stars all the way!

I was so nervous to discuss a procedure that genuinely scared me. But I knew if I wanted to have the look I desired, that I needed to find a surgeon that I trusted, had a good feeling with, highly qualified, and had great before and afters. That was Dr. Jen Stark! All my worries went away when I met with her. She was honest and I liked her approach to solving my areas of concern on my body. Now 6 months after my procedure I couldn’t be happier. Her body contouring is top notch and my belly button is so cute! Other than her work, she is a genuinely radiant individual who treats you like family
