I am in my mid 40's and have had fillers for about 5 years so have had a good deal of experience. I heard good things about Dr Gal Aharonov so I went to see him. We discussed what I wanted and what I would think about, as he suggested filler in my Jaw but I explicitly said I would think about that and would not have it 'today' in his office, and then I was sent to his assistant Faye's desk to go over prices she also went over the price for the jaw line filler. I was then taken to the chair for injections, I get very nervous around needles and as this was my first experience with this doctor I lay back and let him go to work, and he injected me everywhere including jaw. Now I could have possibly got over it if he had done a good job but he was in such a rush (probably so I would not notice) it was a disaster. During the session Faye kept coming in and asking him questions from a phone call which I find outrageous and Aharonov left me with two egg like lumps next to the corner of my eye, on the left side when I smiled the egg pushed up into my eye. The jaw fillers, that I was charged for were too heavy and them combined with all the rest just turned me into mr potato head. Hideous, so large did he make my head that the skin stretched and because I have olive skin the stretch made my skin become micro pigmented. I went into shock when I saw the results and he told me it was just swelling but it wasn't months later I had to see several professionals to sort it out of course at my expense. Ahoronov response was 'sorry you are not satisfied with the results'. He basically robbed me and injected me so aggressively, no trying to massage the eggs near my eye or help to dissolve it. The filler on my jaw also created a jowl that was not there as it stopped abruptly at just before the chin. There are so many great people who do amazing work with fillers especially in Los Angeles. I suggest going to one of them before risking having work done by this man, who completely deceived me and did terrible work. Nightmare come true, so you have been warned. Will post photo's soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your horrible experience. Do you know what filler you had injected? Has your skin improved?

HI, he used juvederm plus. My skin has improved after a lot of money and time thrown at the problem, including 2 face peels.

Please show pictures soon. I have used him and loved what he did for me and have only seen great results on his PC and on the web. Thanks

Hard to believe. He does a beautiful job and has a wonderful eye for facial symmetry. I am also in my 40's and have been getting botox and fillers for over 10 years...i wouldnt go to anyone other than Dr. Aharonov...and I fly in from Florida to see him. I also had my jawline injected to correct pre-jowls and I am THRILLED.
