Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Dr. Robert Cohen, Scottsdale
I was so excited about this consult. I thought he was "the one" as he has such great reviews. I waited months to get in and paid $150 for the consult.
He was so arrogant and argumentative, I was just not ready for that. I had a list of questions and photos, and didn't get to show him the photos even or get through my questions. He was trying to upsell himself and his experience and knowledge the whole consult, while taking very little interest in my feelings or goals. I did not feel he was listening to what was important to me and I was getting a spiel that he has given a thousand times over before. He would get irritated when I would question what he was saying/recommending and it was not a good fit at all. He also does not remove capsules. When I asked about the possibility of removing the implants and not doing a lift he nearly kicked me out of his office. Not kidding. He said I just did not see things as he did and our vision did not align, as he was wanting to improve my shape and he did not think I should be concerned over scars at all. LOL. Righttttttt. I believe he chooses his patients carefully to maintain these great reviews. And he may well be a great surgeon, but I have to have someone with some compassion for my situation and some kindness. I don't think that should be too much to ask.
I have consults I am going to try and schedule this week. I have been researching and found about 4 docs in my state I would like to consider. I also have a Skype consult with Dr. Robin Yuan in CA. He wrote the book, "Behind The Mask, Beneath The Glitter: Deeper Truth About Safe Smart Cosmetic Surgery." He has won many awards and recognized as one of the top docs in the USA and one in 4 top docs in Beverly Hills. After this Skype consult, if I choose to see him for a physical exam it will be $450 just for consult. Beverly Hills prices are scary...And I would really like to see someone closer to home. But I figure hearing what he has to say will be a good idea.

Hi RealSelf Friends, I am sorry to report I do not have good news to share. I wanted to update and share that I just reached 3 years with these terrible implants and I believe I am having symptoms of BII. I think they were subtle at first, but now increasing in severity. I have had sinus problems that started as soon as I got the implants and have never gone away, I do not heal from illness or injury like I used to. Like my body is giving all it's resources to attacking these foreign things and my immune system has weakened due to this. Petechial rashes, a very large one present for 5 months now-doctors have no idea what it is. Vertigo, another thing I have never experienced in any form, started about 1 year after implants and still occurs. Many physical symptoms have manifested and the pain and discomfort is debilitating. Who I was before implants and now is so so different. I was so happy, enjoyed life, I thought I was just making an improvement or doing "maintenance" as this was the natural progression after boobs changing after having children, etc. I was soooo wrong. Trying to fight the depression and find the courage to have another surgery.
Thin Skin
Maybe I'm overthinking, but I feel like I have so many things to consider figuring out this explant stuff and to lift or not. I've also realized my skin has before extremely thin w the implants. Anyone else experienced this? Wondering if it makes a difference w explant and/or lift.
Also, I have been told by a couple different docs here and in consult that because I have already had my nipples cut, the vascularity has been compromised and it makes that more of a concern to do again. So I don't think I have the option of removing implants through the nipple and then deciding to get a lift 6 months later. I really believe I need one, but I'm just so afraid to go through all that too. Maybe better to just get these things out and live with my floppy extra skin boobs! I was a lot happier w those... I don't think impossible to lift later, but I don't want to risk my nipples dying either.
