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!

10 out of 10

I underwent 360 liposuction with fat transfer to the hips and butt with Dr. Nykiel, and my experience was consistently positive from consultation through recovery. What initially drew me to him was his approach to safety, particularly his use of ultrasound technology during the procedure, which gave me added confidence in my decision. The surgical team was courteous, professional, and well-organized. I felt informed at each step and never rushed. Having clinical experience myself, I pay close attention to details, and I was comfortable with how the procedure was handled, including the operating room setup and postoperative protocols. Follow-up care was thorough and reassuring. I was contacted after surgery to check on my recovery, and I appreciated knowing that questions or concerns would be addressed promptly if they came up. That level of availability made the recovery period much less stressful. In terms of results, I was looking for refinement rather than an exaggerated change. The outcome feels balanced and natural, with improved contours and shape that suit my body. Overall, I felt respected as a patient and am satisfied with both the care I received and the final result. I would highly recommend Dr Nykiel!!

Best Decision I’ve Made!

One month post-op from my BBL and Lipo 360, and I couldn’t be happier! I was nervous about not looking like myself, but that’s exactly why I chose Dr. Nykiel - his natural looking results. On top of that, his bedside manners, honesty, and professionalism made me feel confident from day one. He literally teaches other surgeons how to lipo with Vaser! His team is amazing. Kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. On surgery day, the nurses and anesthesiologist put me so at ease that my nerves disappeared instantly. Really, I couldn’t thank them enough! I can’t wait to show off my new figure.. I feel like a more elevated version of myself. The results are subtle, beautiful, and what I was dreaming of since I was a teenager. I’m beyond happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Dr. Nykiel and his team.

Excited for the Newfound Confidence

I had Lipo 360 with fat transfer to the breast by Dr. Nykiel after a lumpectomy left me with a deformity in my right breast. The entire experience was very positive. The office staff was caring and supportive, especially Amanda and Krista, who made me feel heard and reassured when I was initially nervous about the procedure. Their kindness and encouragement made a big difference. I had minimal pain and am still healing, but my breasts are now symmetrical, and I’m excited to see the final results. I’m very grateful to Dr. Nykiel and his wonderful team and would highly recommend them.

Highly Recommend Dr.Nykiel

I had a Lipo 360 done three months ago with Dr. Nykiel, and my experience has been amazing. I’m very happy with my results and feel much more confident in my body. His team was always kind, professional, and attentive, explaining everything clearly and making me feel supported throughout the process. The clinic itself felt very clean, organized, and welcoming, which gave me a lot of comfort from the start. At my follow-up appointment, they even surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a self-care voucher, such a thoughtful gesture that showed how much they care about their patients. I truly appreciate the warmth and quality of care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Nykiel and his team for anyone considering a Lipo 360 or any other procedure.
