All Amazing

I’ve been seeing Trish Coronel RN for several years now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my Botox, fillers, or microneedling. She’s incredibly skilled and truly cares about her clients. I had a cheek injury from when I was younger that I used to feel self-conscious about, and she’s helped me so much with it. I feel so much more confident now and I’m not embarrassed by it anymore. I’m so grateful for her and would highly recommend her! The staff here is amazing here.

I Had an Amazing Experience with Dr. Nykiel & His Team!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Nykiel and his team from the consultation to pre-op and post-op appointments. I got my breast augmentation in June 2025 & I am so happy with my results. He listened to my concerns with the procedure & thoroughly explained everything from the surgery to recovery time. After my consultation I felt confident in choosing him to do my surgery. I am beyond happy with my results & would 10000% recommend him to anyone I know!

Breast Lift with Dr. Nykiel After Breastfeeding – So Happy with My Results

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Nykiel and my experience with him. From the very first consultation, he made me feel completely comfortable and took the time to really listen to what I wanted. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood the entire process, which gave me so much confidence moving forward. Dr. Nykiel was also incredibly patient and worked with my personal timeline for surgery since I was finishing breastfeeding. I never felt rushed or pressured at all. He respected that I wanted to wait until the timing was right for my body and my family, which meant a lot to me. I had a breast lift, and my results exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail and skill are incredible. Everything looks so natural and balanced, and I truly could not be happier with how everything turned out. The entire staff was amazing as well. They even wrote little notes that made me feel so cared for and supported throughout the process. Those small touches really made the experience feel personal and showed how much they truly care about their patients. Recovery went smoothly, and I always felt supported if I had questions. Choosing Dr. Nykiel was one of the best decisions I could have made. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Dr. Nykiel without hesitation. I am so grateful for Dr. Nykiel and his team and would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering a breast lift or any procedure. Worth it!

Had an Amazing Experience!

Dr. Nykiel is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled plastic surgeon. During my experience, he took the time to clearly explain procedures, options, and expectations, which made me feel confident and well informed every step of the way. One thing that really stands out is how passionate he is about sharing his knowledge. He regularly educates people through his social media, which shows how much he truly cares about helping others understand plastic surgery and make informed decisions. I highly recommend Dr. Nykiel to anyone looking for a surgeon who is not only talented but also dedicated to educating and supporting his patients.

Great New Boobs

i had a breast augmentation with Dr nykiel. The staff was warm and responsive, and I felt supported through every step (scheduling, pre-op instructions, and post-op check-ins). Surgery day was smooth and calming, and recovery was much more manageable than I expected because I felt so prepared and taken care of. Most importantly: my results look beautiful and fit my body. i do feel like i wish there was more attention put on ME and what i wanted. it felt a bit rushed with the actual doctor but where he wasn’t avail his staff filled in and they were great :)

Worth ItMommy Makeover

Docter Nykiel is the Best at What He Does!

Doctor Nykiel is a very talented plastic surgeon. The way he can change the human body from excess skin and fat to a beautiful masterpiece is amazing to me. I'm very happy with my experience. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift done. I was a rare case; the skin on my breasts stretched so far down—almost to my belly button—that I wasn't able to have breast implants with my lift because of the high chance that my areolas would die. However, in a couple of months, I'll be able to get implants, which I'm pretty excited about. I will definitely have Dr. Nykiel do my breast implants. I'm currently almost 5 weeks post-op from my Mommy Makeover and have been really happy with my experience. Everyone in the Upland office is so friendly and accommodating; it's really nice. I love that his team is fast to answer questions and get back to you. Amanda is by far my favorite person to talk to in the office.

Dr. Nykiel is Amazing!

I have seen Dr. Nykiel over the past 5 years for multiple consultations and procedures. I spent over a year debating on getting this last procedure done. I worried, questioned whether to do it or not, but despite this Dr. Nykiel continued to see me, answer all of my questions, and was always patient with me. I have never felt pushed to do anything and he has always been completely honest with me. Even up until the day of my procedure he was on the phone with me ensuring all my concerns were addressed and making sure I was ok proceeding, considering prior hesitations I had. I am so glad I trusted Dr. Nykiel as my results are even better than I expected. He and his staff continue to check-in with me and I know I can reach out to them anytime I have questions or need something.

Amazing Results

I had my breast augmentation done with Dr. Nykiel in Upland, CA, and I truly could not be happier with my experience and results so far. From the very beginning, the consultation process was smooth and reassuring. Dr. Nykiel was extremely kind, patient, and informative—he took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident and comfortable moving forward. The office staff deserves so much credit as well. Everyone at both the Upland and Newport offices is absolutely amazing—so sweet, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire process. From scheduling to pre-op and post-op communication, I always felt supported and well taken care of. My surgery went great, and my recovery has been very smooth so far. I felt well-prepared going into surgery, and the post-op instructions were clear and easy to follow. My results are exactly what I asked for, and I’m already so happy with how everything looks. If you’re considering a breast augmentation and want a surgeon who is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Nykiel. I’m extremely grateful for my experience and would absolutely choose him again.

Highly Recommend Him

He is excellent plastic surgeon. I am very happy with the results of my lower body lift/ tummy tuck with muscle repair. So much that if I ever decide to get any other plastic surgery done that I would go back to him to do it . He is happy to answer all questions at consult and anytime after surgery is done .

Positive Experience!

I had a surgery with Dr. NyKiel . He and the team were exceptional in walking me through the entire process pre-appointments were very thorough and discussed potential complications and expected realistic results. After the surgery, Dr. Nykiel and the team supported me through the healing process. I am one month post surgery and I am healing smoothly. They recommended lymphatic massages which I have been doing and they have really helped in the healing. The staff, specially Amanda, has been incredibly helpful and answering questions and/or concerns that I have. The experience overall has been an amazing positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Nykiel and the team!
