Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, breast lift, back lift & arm lift

I cannot recommend Dr. Taleisnik enough. I came to him after looking for a couple of years at different plastic surgeons. After losing 180lbs, I had a lot of loose skin and need various skin removal surgeries.

I did both free and paid consults with various surgeons from all around southern California and even out of state. I saw Instagram famous doctors, unknown doctors, checked review sites etc. and some of the worst consults I had were paid consults that were only 15 min long where they explained nothing and just wanted to book the surgery and get their money.

My husband and I knew things were different the minute we met with Dr. Taleisnik. The consultation was free but he spent over an hour with us, explaining in great detail what his surgical approach would be given my specific case. He explained the different types of procedures, why he felt using a specific approach vs. others would be better given my situation and answered all of our questions.

We knew after the initial consult that he was the doctor we wanted to go with. Not only because of his general bedside manner but his pricing was incredibly fair.

In total, I have had three surgeries with him, starting in November 2023 and the most recent in June 2024. I initially had a felur-de-lis tummy tuck, my second surgery was an arm lift, and the third surgery was a mid-back lift and breast lift without implants.

Because of the extent of the loose skin that I had, I was very understanding that there would be scars but I expressed to Dr. Taleisnik that it is very important to me that the scars be symmetrical and as straight as possible. He was very understanding and I am happy to report that all of my scars are healing incredibly well, they are very thin and straight.

In addition to Dr. Taleisnik himself being a fantastic doctor, his office staff and nurses are also a joy to work with. Linae and Eunice are two of the most wonderful people. They are responsive, thoughtful, and attentive. Both the doctor and his nurses are incredibly fast at responding to texts with any concerns or questions. Post-surgery, the doctor called and texted multiple times over my recovery to check in with me. The aftercare I received from Dr. Taleisnik and his office was truly above and beyond.

The surgery center that he uses (Main Street/Hoag) is right down the street from his office and everyone there is absolutely lovely and the nurses that see you in pre and post-op are gentle and caring.

After having three surgeries with him, I would definitely recommend him to anyone I care about looking to get plastic surgery.

As a general suggestion to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon: check with the CA medical board and the status of their license or to see if any action has been taken against them, make sure you understand the risks and complications associated with your desired surgery, and understand that even if a surgeon does everything correctly people heal/react to surgery in unexpected and unforeseen ways.

I personally had three great experiences with Dr. Taleisnik and his office and he continues to be my plastic surgeon of choice.
