SoCal Plastic Surgeons - Newport Beach

I am six weeks post breast augmentation and couldn’t be happier! My experience with Dr. Nykiel and his team was absolutely amazing. From the very first consultation, he took the time to listen to my goals, explain my options, and make sure I felt completely comfortable. His professionalism and eye for detail gave me so much confidence going into surgery.

The procedure and recovery went so smoothly, and his staff was supportive and attentive every step of the way. The results are beyond what I imagined—natural, beautifully proportioned, and exactly what I had hoped for.

Choosing Dr. Nykiel for my breast augmentation was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Nykiel on four separate occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. Dr. Nykiel’s expertise, precision, and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of his work. His results are consistently natural, refined, and exceeded my expectations each time.

Beyond his surgical skill, Dr. Nykiel is professional, compassionate, and genuinely attentive. He takes the time to understand your goals, thoroughly explains all aspects of the procedure, and ensures you feel informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. His staff reflects the same level of professionalism and care, making every visit smooth and stress-free.

Dr. Nykiel has earned my complete trust, and I am truly grateful for the care and results I have received. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking the highest standard in plastic surgery.

Dr. Nykiel and his staff are simply AMAZING!!!

Being a mom of three boys and breastfeeding all three, my body needed some work. I wanted and needed a Tummy Tuck and I wanted full breasts!!! So the research began and I found Dr. Nykiel. From the consultation to Pre Operative to Surgery and Post Operative appointments the process has been exemplary.

Thank you to Dr. Nykiel, Krista, Marie, Erika, Amanda Vanessa and additional staff members for making my dream possible!!! I will be definitely recommending to all my friends, family and colleagues.

I’ve had nothing but the best experience with Dr. Nykiel and his practice. I was looking for a breast augmentation and had no idea where to start. I looked into a few doctors in my area and found Dr. Nykiel and his practice. I had a few consultations with other doctors, but after researching Dr. Nykiel and reading all the great reviews, I decided to meet with him. He’s board-certified and has a lot of experience, and I just felt like he was the right person for me. From the moment I walked in for my consultation, the staff was so kind and attentive. They always had a great smile and made me feel welcome. Dr. Nykiel took his time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. He was very caring and made me feel safe and comfortable. I decided to go ahead and schedule my surgery that day. I had my surgery on June 26th and I’m about four weeks post-op. My healing has been great, and the staff has been amazing in checking in on me. Dr. Nykiel has also checked on me many times since the surgery. I’ve met with him in person and he’s so reassuring that everything is going the way it should. I’m so excited for my results! I can’t wait for the healing to continue. I’ll definitely be coming back for other procedures in the future, and this will definitely be my go-to place. I want to thank the staff and everyone there for all their help and support.

After having kids, I struggled with how my body looked and felt. I finally decided to have a breast lift and tummy tuck with Dr. Nykiel, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I canceled all my other consultations after meeting with him because I knew he was the doctor for me after the initial appointment!!!! Its only been 9 days and the results are amazing—natural, lifted, and smooth. I feel confident in my skin again, something I hadn’t felt in years. Dr. Nykiel was kind, honest, and incredibly skilled. I felt supported every step of the way, and the care I received was outstanding. Marie, Amanda, Erica and his entire staff at the Upland location are wonderful! The surgery center was super easy to get to in Ontario,And it was a really fast check-in process. I was already off the pain medication after day . I'm not usually a fan of narcotics, and Dr Nykiel inject your abdomen with something to numb it for 3 to 7 days. Before the surgery, I was so hesitant because of hearing how much a tummy tuck hurts pain wise, and I was going to also be getting a breast lift implant exchange. But Dr Nykiel ensured me that the pain is manageable, which he is absolutely right!! do not hesitate in booking a consultation with this incredible surgeon! I am so grateful—this experience gave me me back.

Here is an update with a picture of my tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation at 4 weeks post op! There is still swelling on my sides and stomach, but you can already see the sculpting and definition Dr Nykiel created in my abdomen. The recovery was a breeze and honestly overall pain level was a 4-5 the first few days post op, but manageable and dropped down to a 1-2 for the first few weeks. I think my breasts were more sore than my abdomen and tummy tuck scar area that first week. I am obsessed with the work that was done, and will be forever grateful to Dr Nykiel and his team for giving me this confidence back !
3 month before and after pics to come!

I will definitely recommend Dr. Nykiel to anyone that is looking for a plastic surgeon! I am only 3 weeks post op (lipo 360/BBL/chin lipo) and I am already amazed with my results! He and his team made my process a breeze! I know every person recovers differently, but I felt almost no pain and my recovery has been amazing. Thank you Dr. Nykiel and team!

I had the best experience with Dr. Nykiel. I went to other consultations, and I felt that Dr. Nykiel knew exactly what I needed. He listened and addressed any concerns I had. He made sure every question was answered. I felt like I was in the best hands.

After surgery he proved to be such a caring and genuine doctor. He provided direct contact info for any concerns. Over the weeks I would reach out, and he never made me feel like I was bothering him.
His bed side manner, and care of his patients is visible!

I am beyond pleased with my results. I could not be any happier! I had very bad sag, and I was afraid it could not be corrected. They look amazing!

I also want to shed light on the Amazing staff. Each person that helped me was truly amazing!! I felt so cared for.

I’m now six weeks post-op, and I couldn’t be happier! From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, my experience with Dr. Nykiel and the entire team has been exceptional. The recovery was surprisingly quick and smooth, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thank you for making this such a positive experience!

I’m now eight weeks post-op with 650cc implants, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The healing process has been smooth, and I’m loving the shape, size, and how natural they look and feel.

I’ve been using semaglutide for several months now, and I’m down 25 pounds! The medication really helped curb my appetite, which made it easier to make healthier food choices and cut down on snacking. The weight came off gradually but consistently, which I appreciated. I had a little nausea in the beginning, but it passed quickly. Overall, I’m thrilled with how it’s helped me and would absolutely recommend discussing it with your doctor if you're considering it.

As a gift, Dr. Nykiel provides patients when complimentary services at his Med Spa. I had Dysport done for the first time, and Trish my injector was energetic and knowledgeable. She was honest about placement for specific areas. Pain was super minimal with maximum results. I understand why people get this done, it’s definitely been a confidence booster!
