I met Dr. Nazarian through her husband who I selected for my spinal surgery. I include this fact as it is important for those seeking plastic surgery to understand she keeps good company. My story may be slightly different as a few years ago I would have never considered plastic surgery. I have always liked myself- that is until I was hit by a car on a bike ride and had to undergo spine surgery just to sit/walk pain free again. There is no other way to state it except the last 1.5 years of my life has really sucked.

I am in my "prime" as they say, in my early 30's, and I own my own company. I should feel wonderful about my accomplishments (even though I started my own company because I had no choice to keep a job after being hit by a car). Never-the-less, even after my spine surgery I felt terrible about myself. Dr. Nazarian's husband really fixed me up and I don't think I'll have any back pain in the future. However, the lingering weight gain that I've had (about 15 lbs) just really bothered me. Not to mention I developed a belly and some boob sagging because I was much more muscular before my surgery. Although my friends and family say I looked good- I didn't feel good about myself.

I started working out following my spine surgery but I can't maintain what I once had. I'm not fat by any means of the word but the drooping muscles were just heart breaking to me. I wasn't ready to give up my confidence-- since technically it was stolen from me.

I did talk to Dr. Nazarian after getting clearance from my spine surgeon that it would be okay to proceed. Just as I had researched her husband- I researched her credentials as well. She has a lot of experience and is recognized for her work at USC. I was happy to find this information about her. I expressed to her the results I was looking for (which at first were much more extensive). But then she gave me a real expectation of what I could do with my body. She explained to me what results I would get if I went about lipo the way I wanted and she suggested taking out less fat and using a mini-tummy tuck to flatten my stomach to even it out. I have to say I was impressed that she went against what I originally thought I wanted to point out to me how I could get better results and have less risk of undesirable results. I have a feeling many doctors would strive to provide un-realistic results and she didn't. She cared about how I was going to feel after she was done. There was a sense of pride in what she was doing as a career-- but I also could feel her obligation to provide me happiness again.

My surgery went well. The pain was no where near as much as I thought it would be and after a week I was back on my feet. Dr. Nazarian was available for me by phone, text, and email with any questions and even allowed me to come in on off schedule just to make me feel better about my swelling about two days later. Since I'd never done anything like this before I was very nervous about everything. She was so re-assuring. It did remind me of her husband's bedside manner which was very similar. They are a great family!

If you are seeking plastic surgery- I highly recommend Dr. Nazarian. Even with some swelling now I am blown away with my results. I'm now wearing shirts that I haven't worn since before my accident because I don't have my little belly pouch making me feel so bad about myself.

I don't have anything against plastic surgery any longer. I now understand how a little help can make you feel so much better. I also understand how important it is to find the right doctor for your plastic surgery. Even though Dr. Nazarian was married to the man who I allowed to open my back (one of the most dangerous surgeries, I think) I still checked her out. And my research lead me to allowing trust in her.

You will get no pressure from Dr. Nazarian- and you might even get a lesson on how a little less plastic surgery can look more natural, provide the best results, and make you feel just as good as you ever wanted to feel.

Highly Recommended-- and forever thankful.

Dr. Nazarian was available in person (late hours if needed), by phone, text, and email. I never once felt like I didn't have access to any questions that arose. And she understands that concerns are not irrational. I really appreciate this!
