Honest and Trustful Work

There are many aesthetic providers in just one mile like Natura and Elias, but I go back here because they stand by their work. After receiving two botched fillers in my 20s in California, I am now picky and more careful of the injector and especially how the office has the resources and knowledge to fix them. Kate is kind and a true professional. She doesn't try to upsell. She explains the process and tries to achieve the results to match realistic expectations. In addition, Tory is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the procedures. I will be coming back. Thank you for being truthful and providing honest work.

Mommy Makeover

Gregarious227988

I have too much skin to do a standard TT but my breasts turned out beautifully

I had a mommy makeover planned with Dr. Pinella. The reason I give four out of five stars is that I flew in from Alabama and I didn’t meet my doctor until 2 hours prior to surgery, and he refused to do my tummy tuck. He said they misjudged my photos. According to him, I have too much skin to do a standard tummy tuck and I need to be tucked in the hospital. I understand his concern for my safety, but it felt unfair for him to turn me down like that, right before surgery, after traveling. However, Dr. Pinella is a kind man. He went forward with my breast lift and implants and I think they turned out beautifully. The staff is also very kind, especially in the OR and post-op. The staff also returned my money for the tummy tuck. I would still recommend them, I would just say use caution if you’re out of town

Breast Lift

Breast lift done this past October

I had a breast lift done in October. I wanted some advice about scarring.. I have some rather raised scars, I use oils daily. What is your best recommendations for healing the scars? also, looking for feedback! do they look perky enough? Updated on 27 Apr 2021: Can I have some advice for scar treatment? my scars are still healing since my surgery this past October. I had an anchor lift. I'm fairly happy with the results just some of my scars below are a little raised.. I massage them daily. Also, aesthetically my doctor said he really couldn't get my lift any higher. Do they appear perky?

Breast Lift with Implants

Dr. Alexander does amazing breast work!

After breastfeeding 5 babies and a huge weight loss, I really needed a breast lift and implants. After looking all over I found South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Dena answered all of my questions and helped me immensely to coordinate my surgery even though I live in Colorado. My surgeon was Dr Alexander and he did an AMAZING job on me! At Pre-Op he listened to what results I was looking for with my surgery, (size, type of implant, ect) and I’m so happy with my results. Thank you Dr. Alexander! Come back to Colorado to snow ski soon.

I’ll Never Go or Refer Anybody to Anywhere else Other Than Here!!!

I just loved loved loved his apparent love for people and his profession...I had the best experience I could’ve ever imagined. I was nervous and had researched everything so much so that I was nervous. EVERYONE from the receptionist, Ms Debbie to the Surgeon, Dr. Pinnela made me feel very welcome. I am a teacher and paid what y’all paid, I by no means received any sort of payment are discount for this review. To be honest I previously felt that if I paid my money I shouldn’t have to leave a review, but these people were heaven sent. I got the Benelli lift and size c implants. And omg they are beautiful! I was so scared but everyone was honest, respectful, and just warm. No one acted as though they were at work, it was like u were in their home and they welcomed everybody. I’ve already referred 3 family members and friends because I’ve trusted them with my life before and I’d do it again.

Tummy Tuck

Great staff

I am happy that I went through with it. I found this office through a friend and they had the best price and non pushy staff. Melinda did not force me to make a deposit at the first appointment. And best way to contact her is through text she gets right back to me. Dr. Lakin is very nice and straight forward. All the ladies and nurses were super nice friendly and knowledgeable. They go into detail about the care and etc. tummy tuck pain was min. I was sore and walk hunch over. Think the most pain was when some one made me laugh. I wanted to be more slimmer but he gave me a coke bottle shape. I get lots of compliments already.

Rhinoplasty

SeeBeauty24

rhinoplasty happiness - Fort Lauderdale, FL

I have waited along time to undergo my Rhinoplasty. So many friends told me not to do it. One of my girlfriends told me about her surgeon and how much she appreciated his compassionate personality and his ability to listen . So I decided to go with my friend for a consult . When I finally went to meet with DR PINNELLA. I knew he would be the right surgeon for me. I explained my wishes and he understood clearly my goals. I did not want to chisel my nose away to nothing. I wanted small adjustments to soften the small bump on the bridge and trim the end of my nose ever so slightly . DR PINNELLA has his Masters in Fine Arts . This gives him the upper hand to understand the creative process along with the reality of what can be done surgically . This made it so easy for me to describe my idea 's to him . He sat observing my face and nose and explained all of the pros and cons of Rhinoplasty in great detail. He was confident . Yes !! We can do this !! I was so happy !!! Updated on 27 Aug 2016: SOUTH FLORIDA CENTER FOR COSMETIC SURGERY I would like to take this moment to comment on the greatest gratitude and thanks I have for all Dr. John Pinnella has done for me. My entire adult life I have professionally and personally been involved in the medical community so I can share with confidence that I have come to recognize every aspect of what makes a medical professional to be at the top of their industry…the best of the best. And in over 20 years, I have yet to come in contact nor have been the recipient of such excellence as I have in my dealings with Dr. Pinnella. In every aspect of his profession, Dr. Pinnella takes great care in understanding the goals and objectives and ultimate desire of his patients from pre and post-operative support. His craftsmanship is precise and beyond exceptional to those goals and objectives of his patients. Yet moreover his ability to understand the psyche of his patients and show the utmost of care in managing emotions, trepidations and concerns while positioning the patient to ultimately achieve her desired result is truly the best I’ve witness and experienced in over 3 decades. I would recommend Dr. John Pinnella to anyone seeking to better themselves physically and emotionally without hesitation.
