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.

Trustworthy and Reliable
I always knew that I needed to get a chin implant if I wanted a more balanced face - and all the other professionals did too! The first time I tried lip injections, the NP took one look at me and was like, "Oh, lip injections won't make up for your weak chin, you'll need an implant for that." Which was completely unsolicited but also, very true.
But here's the thing. While it's true that it's VERY important to make sure you're emphasizing quality over cost, especially with any procedures that touch your face in particular, I also didn't want to have to pay an excessive amount just because a surgeon's in love with their own brand, you know what I mean? So I did some research, and I came across Dr. Foulad - what immediately intrigued me was his no-nonsense approach to chin implant surgery with local anesthesia, which I vastly prefer over general anesthesia when possible. And all the reviews you read about him are TRUE!
His clinic: located in Beverly Hills, almost tucked away in a corner of a beautiful building, but it's very clean, well kept. I was worried that parking would be an issue around that area, but I was able to find both free parking and metered parking easily in all the appointments I've had there. His staff are super affable and kind - they just make every interaction smooth and most importantly, they are EFFICIENT. I've never really had to wait, except for when of course, I arrived too early. They get you in and out ASAP, which I love.
Dr. Foulad himself is incredibly knowledgeable, and HONEST. He will tell you all the risks, all the solutions for those risks, and lay out exactly what to expect so you're not caught off guard. I LOVE that when we first had an in-person meeting, he straight up told me that a neck liposuction procedure probably wouldn't change much for me, and that weight loss would do the same thing. That's when I knew I could really trust his judgment. He is a plastic surgeon with a vision, through and through. Not a salesman.
The chin implant surgery itself wasn't too bad at all. I followed their clear-cut instructions to the letter, and the only painful part really, was the anesthesia shots (of course). But I will say that even as drowsy as I was during the procedure, I really appreciated that he went all out in making sure that I was numb. As for the aftermath, if you do decide to go through with one, PLEASE TRUST DR. FOULAD'S WORDS AND THE RECOVERY PROCESS! I promise it will look horrific at first because your face is SO SWOLLEN in a way you didn't know it could swell. But now I really could not be any happier with my face. It's incredible how subtle the transformation is, but HOW MUCH it changes my overall appearance!! Dr. Foulad made sure to get my preferences, but ultimately I went with his advice and I do not regret it one bit.
He will know exactly what you need, what he can and cannot do (and will be more than willing to be upfront about that), and that is the expertise I'm really looking for. He even altered the implant shape a bit during the procedure because it was a little too wide for my face!!
As for the recovery, his instructions are meticulous and yes, he really does offer his cell phone so you can text or call him - I never had to, but HE called me!! Twice!! And I think that just really shows how much he understands the fragile nature of a recovery process as a physician. I deeply appreciate that. I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Foulad and his incredible team, and I would highly recommend him.
Also: my friend did not notice what was different, but he DID say that my bottom lip looks poutier as a result. So I don't think I'll need those injections anymore. ;)
