Reviews for Mommy Makeover Procedures Near Newport Beach, CA
"Dr. Kelishadi and his team is absolutely amazing. Valerie at the front desk is by far one of the sweetest people that genuinely cares for the patients and each interaction she has with them. Brianna was very helpful and kind during the consultation. Dr.Kelishadi is by far the best plastic surgeon. He is honest, kind, and shows empathy towards his patients. I went to see Dr. Kelishadi for a possible mommy maker and during my consultation my husband and I felt by far the most comfortable and confident after talking to Dr.Kelishadi. I scheduled my surgery date before leaving his office because he made me feel comfortable and I was able to trust him. He answered all my crazy questions and I was grateful for that. I had never had a procedure besides 2 c-sectioned, but knowing his back ground and where he received his professional training was reassuring for me. I know I was in the best hands ever. I am 6 weeks out and I feelConfident, sexy, and proud that I took the steps and chose Dr.Kelishadi. Dr.Sherry is amazing too. I was really nervous about the medication I would need to take post off but she was able to reassure me that everything would be fine. She issued me heal fast vitamins for pre and post op. She is a sweet soul and I appreciate her beautiful spirit. Dr.Kelishadi call and spoke to myself or my husband everyday post off. Thank you to everyone at SSK plastic surgery for your time, kindness, and the love you all showed me during my visits to the office. God Bless and I’ll see you all soon!"
"TLDR: Stop looking. You will not find anyone as skilled and professional as Dr. K and his team. They are the best, there is no competition. Ever since I was a child I’ve had issues with my body image. I was bullied by both my family & classmates about how I was fat & had no butt. They would grab and rolls and laugh. This obviously caused some self image issues and inspired me to workout. After I had my child I thought that working out would be enough, it wasn’t. I know had strechmarks and my skin and boobs sagged. I kept trying and trying and finally decided that I wanted a mommy makeover. I spent over 2 years searching for the best surgeon I could find looking everywhere from California to Georgia to France. There were a few who caught my eye but I could feel in my gut they weren’t right for me. I went to a few consults and heard horrible things like how saggy my breasts were and I needed all of these procedures. They would tell me it was an hour long consult but would stay MAYBE 10 minutes being dismissive and rude the entire time. I don’t care how many certifications you have there’s no excuse for not treating people like a human being. I honestly was ready to just say f*** it until I saw SSK. I read the reviews and stalked their Instagram. This was enough to get me to book a consult. Not going to lie I had pretty low expectations. Fortunately I was dead wrong. Dr. K is the most genuinely kind hearted surgeon I’ve ever met. He took the time to explain why he thought that the procedures would be beneficial to me. Never being pushy or arrogant but giving his medical opinion about how he could help me. He even refused to do a procedure because it wouldn’t be beneficial to me. That’s who Dr.K is. Someone with integrity and the skills/knowledge to back it up. That was only the virtual consult. Once I decided to book my procedure Valerie was so kind and helpful. There were a few things I had to get worked out and she helped me the entire time never being condescending or rude. During our in person consult I was very nervous. I had to be naked except for my underwear, which was nerve wracking with the way I felt about my body. Dr. K and his team made me feel so comfortable. His presence is so calming and reassuring. I told him all of my concerns and he answered them professionally ensuring that I was well informed. Prior to my surgery everyone in the team called me and told me what to expect. On the day of my procedure I was nervous (this was my first surgery) and everyone was so kind. For me it was just a few moments and I woke up in the recovery center. Dr. K called me personally to make sure that I was doing OK and let me know he would be checking in on me. Every check up I’ve been to Dr. Sherry has always made sure I was ok and even helped me get my prescriptions. She remembers my name and conversations we’ve had even though I know she’s seen hundreds of patients since my last appointment. The SSK team is outstanding. My recovery has been going extremely well and I’m now 2 months post op. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Please pick Dr.K you won’t regret it. And if this review isn’t enough look at my boobs. They’re amazing"
"Tummy tuck, lipo, breast lift/revision & augmentation & fat transfer - 4 kids (2 of them being c-sections) you think you know where this story is going, right?? Nope! I actually had nice skin (not a flat tire) but saggy, uneven boobs and a big, belly...from POOR EATING HABITS. I came to talk to K wanting a mommy makeover but he gave me so much more. After meeting with me he explained that given my BMI, he would not perform the surgery until I lost weight. It was the best thing that he could've ever done for me because he didn't just give me a mommy makeover, he gave me a lifestyle change which is a mental consciousness of my health.3 months later, I was within a healthy weight and today, I'm 10 days post op. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift/revision and augmentation. I had a fat transfer and liposuction. I will not lie. IT HURTS. Well, it hurt. Today it's more irritating to be lying in a beach chair type position lol! Day 1 was fine because I was doped up. Day 2-5 I regretted doing it. I cried. I asked myself 100x why I did this but it's ok. It's mentally exhausting. But YOU CAN DO IT. You'll cry. Scream. Yell. Question it all. But you will be SO HAPPY you gave yourself this gift. You are in the BEST of hands. I'm only days days post op but I know a year from now I'll be back on here smiling and answering your questions as you go through your journey."
"Where do I even begin! Dr. K and his office staff/nurses are amazing! They make you feel safe and completely at ease. I saw Dr. K for my mommy makeover consultation back in February 2021 and had my surgery on May 18, 2021. It has been a year and I am beyond happy with my results. I had twin boys that left me with a lot of extra skin, Dr. K fixed that and made my belly button look better than ever! I had a tummy tuck, lipo 360 with fat transfer and a breast lift with implants. I have never felt so confident in my own skin. I am so thankful to Dr K and his team, if you are thinking about seeing him just do yourself a favor and schedule with him now!"
"Haven’t felt this confident and happy with my body since my late 20s - I am only 5 weeks post-op from a mommy makeover (breast implant revision and lift, tummy tuck, and lipo with BBL). I haven’t felt this confident and happy with my body since my late 20’s, and it’s only been 5 weeks! Dr. Kelishadi listened and took his time to explain what he was doing and set realistic expectations for results- (which he completely surpassed imo). I had been following his work for a while, and knew how gifted he was, but now I know first hand and can’t say enough great things about him and his staff. Thank you, Dr. K. for giving me my confidence back- and my 25-year-old booty lol."
"Dr. Kelishadi is without a doubt the kindest, most sincere doctor - I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op from my Mommy Makeover with Dr. Kelishadi. I had a breast implant replacement from saline to gummy silicone and a breast lift. Dr. Kelishadi recommended a tummy tuck for an ultimate waistline and flat tummy but I felt it was too intense and chickened out lol! So I did a BBL instead which is lipo and fat transfer to my butt. I wanted a very natural shaping vs a huge butt. During the consultation Dr.Kelishadi paid very close attention to what I wanted and spent the time with me to explain each procedure and possible outcome. PreOp everything was online to review prior to surgery and Dr. Kelishadi answered all my questions during our preop appointment. Surgery day I was super nervous this was my 4th time going under anesthesia and my biggest surgery out of those. The staff made me comfortable and once Dr.Kelishadi arrived I was as comfortable as I could be. After surgery I stayed at the Laguna Recovery center for 3 nights which Dr.Kelishadi referred me to. Looking at my immediate results I was beyond impressed. It was better that what he explained and better that the pictures he showed me. I am still swollen and recovering however I'm super excited about how everything is healing and can't wait to see how everything goes in the next couple months. Dr. Kelishadi was very nice and concerned about my health and healing during my recovery and he checked in with me on his personal cell frequently. I've had plastic surgery twice before and Dr.Kelishadi is without a doubt the kindest, most sincere doctor I have had. I highly recommend him and may even bite the bullet and do the tummy tuck in the future. After seeing how well he taped me up after surgery and how well I'm healing I think he would do an incredible job with a tummy tuck!Updated on 12 Mar 2021:I don’t have the before pictures yet but will upload them once I have a chance.I do want to note that the Laguna Recovery center was ~$900 per night and had great service. However I noticed I was missing 10 pain killers (norco) when I got home. When I asked them about it they were not helpful nor did they return the meds which they admitted to removing from my medical bag. Regardless I still highly recommend Dr. Kelishadi and will follow up in a couple more weeks."

"Dr. Kelishadi is an amazing surgeon who takes into consideration any life situation you are facing or dealing with. He is very welcoming and honest. I love how he takes the time to go over the whole surgery procedure and all the details along with paying for your surgery l. I recently had a breast augmentation done by him this past May and the whole process was flawless. It was so great that two of my friends went to him for a mommy makeover and breast augmentation. During my 6 month check up he even took the extra time to sit down and talk to me one on one for an hour to take about life, goals, and situations I am currently going through it was very therapeutic and professional. He has always quickly responded to any questions or concerns I have had through his social media or text message. Even after I am done with my healing process. He is down to earth, intelligent, and personable. I recommend him and his office over and over again! Hands down the best experience I wouldn’t trust any other surgeon."
"I got my mommy full mommy makeover and some complicated extra tissue that was under my arm removed by Dr. Kelishadi on 9/29/20 and I feel like a whole new me. I’m about 3 months into my recovery and I cannot be happier. He definitely is not shy to be honest with you about the process and what you have to do to have a better recovery. I think that makes him a great surgeon. He is always accessible and will always try to put you at ease. I love love love love how I feel in my own skin right now, and I know I’ll be even more happier when I’m a 100%. He is also not just a surgeon who is amazing at his job but he is also a great family man and father. He gets it ladies!!! If you are looking for that surgeon to make you feel comfortable and get you that mommy makeover you dreamed about...call him!!!!"
"Just take ALL of my money! Lol! There's nothing Dr K and his staff can't do! After looking for years to find a great plastic surgeon for my desired mommy makeover, Dr. K instantly won over my heart. His warm smile and demeanor is what OC and so many plastic surgeons are lacking. Not only did I decide to go with SSK for my flawless breast augmentation and tummy tuck, I also you them for my hydrofacils and "lady rejuvenation"! I love his services so much that I feel like I'm cheating on him if I go anywhere else. Definitely changing the game of hospitality and beauty."
"When I was looking for a for a doctor for my wife to perform a mommy makeover I was looking for a board certified doctor with the highest rating, My first concern was for my wife's safety and secondary the quality outcome which after all my research it lead us to SSK. I wasn't concerned with pricing or location, yes I had to travel across California to SSK but it was well worth it. Surprisingly to know after the surgery we evaluated the pricing we found out we paid a below average pricing for the highest quality of work in California. Its been almost 4 months now and Dr. K just messaged me 2 day before Christmas to ensure our satisfaction and wish us a Merry Christmas."

"This is a review from the husband of a patient of a mommy makeover... That being said, I felt like I was the patient of Dr Kelishadi because he treated me that way. He kept me informed. He asked if I had any questions. He went out of his way to text me outside of office visits. He cares about his patients and their significant others. Now about his work: amazing. He kept telling me I'd love it. I sort of brushed it off because of the unknown, but can say 10000000% he was right. He has given my wife unbelievable confidence and selfishly I am having a TON of fun with her (Good thing I'm snipped). Pre surgery he was amazing, and post surgery the first thing he did was find me in the lobby to walk me through everything. He would text me randomly to check in and prepared us for the fun journey we went on. The whole process honestly made our marriage stronger and I owe it to Dr Kelishadi for preparing me to be strong for my wife and prepare her to be able to enjoy the adventure. If you're on the fence or hesitant, I assure you he is worth every penny. Best experience! AND GO LAKERS!"

"Mommy Makeover - Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift - Dr. Kelishadi is a rock star! I feel very blessed to have found such a great doc to do this surgery. His team, both Shea and Alejandra, are super nice and help you throughout the process. After a lifetime of heavy DD breasts, which were both pendulous and sagging after childbirth, I have beautiful C cup perky breasts. When I first saw them I began to cry because of how happy I was with..."
"Breast Aug - 33yr old Mom of 3 - This is kinda long...sorry!I did 3 consults with OC based plastic surgeons before making my final decision to go with Dr Kelishadi. Two of my three consults were referrals, Dr Kelisahdi was a referred to me; the third was a random that I chose based on research from Yelp, Real Self, and the OC Mom Group on Facebook. *Dr Kelishasi was my first consult. I felt very comfortable and very excited..."

"This review is lonnggggg overdue. But I'm here now to give Dr. K and his amazing staff 5 stars. Dr K Gave me back my confidence with an amazing breast augmentation. I had lost all hope and I was so sad that none of my tops or dresses never fit me right. I came to see Dr K and we decided to get 415 CCs on me. They are so pretty and I am so obsessed with them. The recovery was a breeze - let me tell you two days max of being on meds and by the third day I was back to my schedule. His staff Shea and Alejandra were just the best and still are. SSK makes you feel like more than a patient, they make you feel like family. I'm so freaking lucky that I found Dr. K and anyone else out there looking to get that mommy makeover- This is your man right here."

"I've wanted to write a review for awhile, but I can't come up with the right words to describe how amazing my experience has been with Dr Kelishadi and his team. From the minute I walked in his office, I felt at ease and comfortable. He is so friendly, welcoming and has a great sense of humor. I was so nervous about even just discussing my options, but those fears went away quickly. He listened to all my needs & concerns, and I never once felt rushed. Each consult, Dr K spent at least an hour with me. After the first consult, I booked my surgery and never even met with another surgeon. I didn't feel the need to since I knew he would do exactly what I wanted with fantastic results. He also gave me a great price!After surgery, Dr K and his team checked in with me regularly, even texting from his personal phone to make sure my recovery was going well and see if I had any questions/concerns. I was pretty nervous throughout recovery and wondering if I'd love the final results, but he constantly reassured me that everything went perfectly and I'd be happy. Being happy is a huge understatement! I would strongly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone interested in getting work done. Dr Kelishadi and his team are top notch!"
"Just want to write a review on the experience with this Doctor so far. My wife just had a pretty extensive surgery last week. She was very nervous but I can tell you honestly this doctors bed side manner is second to none from all the appointments before the surgery but what really has been great is how much he cares after the surgery. He text me multiple times right when surgery was over. Then came down and talked with me for almost an hour. His was just after a 7 hour surgery.. This was so comforting because we were all anxious.my wife is now 5 days post op and he's text or called regularly answering any questions and making sure she is ok. So id give his customer service 5 plus stars.. Now comes the even better part. To say we are blown away with the results is an understatement. This doctor from day one appointment all the way to executing the plan is 5 stars plus all day. We've already referred a friend to him and we don't do that lightly. With all the bad things or poor service you here about out there I had to write this review. This is one of the good guys out there. Thank you Doc for really caring.. We wish you many years of success.. You deserve it.."
