Reviews for Nonsurgical Procedures in 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!"
"Oh , where do I begin? I’ll try to make this short and sweet ... prior to moving from the East Coast to Orange County , I was on a search for the BEST board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast revisions and anything breast related , and with much research (because that’s what I do) Do your research ladies , don’t settle because someone is "cheap" or you found a Groupon for the love of God , avoid that!! This is your body , why the heck would you settle ? When I found Dr. Kelashadi , I inquired immediately! I loved his presence on social media , the reviews, and especially his work ! I set up an appointment via Zoom to get more information and truly just to meet him . I’m an excellent judge of character and found him and his staff absolutely amazing . He is caring, kind, smart, driven, professional and a perfectionist . He listened to my concerns, and made me feel safe . Later that month , I went in for my consultation in person . I was greeted by the most amazing staff! Kind, happy, and comforting. I filled out all of my health questionnaires , got into my robe and then my first set of pics were taken . Not once did I feel uncomfortable, not once . Then Dr. Kelashadi came in to assess me and we made the decision together based off of my desired outcome . He took into consideration my shape (I’m small and have an athletic build ) He knew not to just stuff my breasts like most surgeons do.On the day of the surgery, I wasn’t nervous at all, if anything I was excited like a kid on Christmas morning! Everyone in the surgery center was beyond amazing . Dr. Kelashadi marked me and discussed with me one more time to assure me that we’re on the same page and my goodness , that made me feel even safer! He wound up doing a full reconstruction (which we discussed may happen at the first visit) since I had my previous breast implants in for 10 years and my implants were incapsulated . I woke up from my surgery and was so happy as expected . He understood the assignment !! Healing took a little over a week and I was super compliant (that’s important ladies) Each follow up after was a joy as well ! He is a perfectionist and I HIGHLY recommend him , don’t look any further , I already did the work for you! His amazing wife , Dr. Sherry is pretty incredible as well and helps women with their hormone balance and overall well being! Mind, body, and soul I later decided to check out their med spa and had an incredible experience with Elania , she too answered all of my questions and was very gentle . Thank you for all you do ! Oh and let me not forget to mention , he is also the king of waistlines and labioplasties, and more ! I’ll be seeing you again soon ! Thank you again ! Love you ALL"
"I am a woman in my 40’s who’s been through many ups and downs in life, as we all go through. After my divorce, and raising a daughter as a single mom, I realized the sacrifices us women make to try and provide a better life for our children. However, letting myself go or not leaning in to listen to my body wasn’t doing myself or my daughter any good. My energy levels was the main concern I had when I decided to talk to Dr. Sherry. What’s interesting is I wasn’t at the consult initially for hormone replacement therapy. I came in to see her husband Dr. Kelishadi, however, once I read about Dr. Sherry and the work she offers, I couldn’t resist. I asked her to tell me more about Biote Hormone Pellet Therapy-and she very patiently asked me questions and told me about how the entire process works. Not once did she ask me if I was interested in signing up, or coming back...purely informative and spent an hour with me just to talk and gain a holistic overview of my life and my concerns. After listening to her and reading the brochure, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I wanted to gain my energy levels back, which would help me in all areas of my life (motherhood, career, relationship, gym). I booked my appointment and prior to my appointment, I got my labs and blood work done for Dr. Sherry to review and assess the amount of pellets I would qualify for. I also was interested in vitamins that would help me re-set. Dr. Sherry carries the best brand (Ortho Molecular) which have the best vitamins and supplements there are out there. I knew this because my OBGYN also carries the same line of products and seems most medical grade offices or pharmacies carry this brand and you can not find it at a local grocery store.The day of Pellet insertion, the nurse who was following Dr. Sherry’s instructions was excellent. She numbed the area (one side of butt cheek) and Dr. Sherry was very supportive and there the entire time. She’s beautiful inside and out and even offered me to hold her hand if I felt any pain. But I tell you, I felt nothing...the whole process was very quick and we had a few chuckles as well. Dr. Sherry called me the next day to check on me and throughout. I just had my second blood draw which was reviewed and all is great so far. The pellets are to last 4-6 months depending. I can tell you it’s only been a bit over two months and I feel fantastic. I would highly recommend it to men and women who are struggling with life stuff that may impact our energy, weight, mental and emotional well being. I will continue to diary my experience and looking forward to continuing to treat with Dr. Sherry.Many thanks"
"The staff at SSK Plastic Surgery are wonderful! Valerie always greets you with a smile, offers water and asks how you are doing. There’s no pretentiousness or stuffy feeling. My daughter is currently getting laser hair removal and they are so patient, they do a great job numbing her before the procedure. The ambiance is relaxing and pleasing. Dr. Kelishadi is so on top of his game. He made sure to look at my daughters face and make sure we didn’t do too much to her hairline to make the hair removal look natural. He’s so nice and we didn’t feel rushed at all.I’ve also had my botox done at Dr. K’s office and I have to say (Aida), they really took their time, I saw them mix the botox in front of me and they mapped out injection areas very well. They also numbed my skin, which made it a bit less painful:)Dr. Sherry Kelishadi is a delight. She always asks about my kids, offers us a bar, makes great conversation and is stunning! I was able to discuss with her some pre-menopausal issues and talk about future options for hormone replacement. She’s not only beautiful, but smart as heck! It’s not often you find this kind of staff in Newport Beach, so I had to share. Thanks SSK for always welcoming us and being such a bright light in such an over the top area!"
"I went to this office to have bio identical hormones inserted under my skin. Everyone in this office is kind and professional. I was treated extremely well and felt comfortable that I was getting great care and indeed I was! I highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!"
"Went to Krystal for skin tightening procedure before my bodybuilding show and the transformation was insane! Completely upgraded my core. Great front desk customer service and great overall experience. Definitely recommend this place to any and everyone. You will definitely see the results you desire and then some."
"Today I received my first micro needling treatment with nurse Krystal. I have been hesitant for years to get this done, but finally decided it was time. I could not be happier with my experience, from them moment I walked in, nurse Kahyana was so pleasant and gave me water while I waited. This procedure did not hurt at all, actually it was so relaxing that I fell asleep. I left the office with my face being a little pink and woke up this morning so dewy and glowy!!! And apparently it gets better after a few weeks, I already made my next appointment with Valerie, who was very sweet and informative! I highly recommend ssk! I love my skin!"
"I saw Krystal for lazer hair removal. It was a great price and the pain was almost non existent. I would call it a discomfort. Then we followed up with some more recommendations. I have had several comments on how amazing my skin looked. After social isolation and not engaging in self care, Krystal brought a balance of much needed self care that I was looking for."
"I have found my home for cosmetic work and more! I’ve had several cosmetic procedures here, including the greatest filler work I’ve ever had from Krystal. She rolled back the years on my face while keeping me looking like, well, me! I just finished my third round of Vivace micro needling and I now know that not all micro needling is created equal. The results have been simply astounding and this is one treatment I will be keeping in my routine. It did so much to eliminate lines and wrinkles, reduced areas of melasma, and even faded scars where I had experienced hypopigmentation and had white spots! It far exceeded my expectations. The most unexpected decision I made was to work with Krystal and Sherry on getting a hormonal panel done and getting the Biote hormone pellets. I didn’t know that I could feel this good! I’m sleeping better, my hot flashes and night sweats have gone away, my drive to get things done (along with the energy to do it) has come back, I’ve lost five pounds without trying, and my workouts are amazing again. I feel like I did in my early 20s. I can’t recommend this team enough. They have brought so much vitality and value back into my life, not to mention keeping me aesthetically in tip-top shape."
"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."
"If you are looking for the place to have micro needling done look no further- Krystal at SSK surgery is the best! She is very skillful and considered about personalized approach. The result just after two sessions is amazing- I ’ve got carded again, looking young after of so many years of looking middle aged.The staff in the office is very pleasant and accommodating from the beginning to the end.I definitely recommend SSK plastic surgery, and specifically Krystal for your rejuvenation therapies. Can’t wait to try more what this wonderful place have to offer!"
"I’ve been going here for laser hair removal and after my first treatment I was blown away with the results. Truly impressive. I maybe had to shave once a week. I’m so excited to see my final results. Iwork with Krystal. She is professional and kind. She takes time to explain everything. This office offers so many wonderful treatments beyond plastic surgery. I highly recommend them."
"I will start by saying that SSK is the place where professionalism is beyond imagination! My wife and I are both extremely pleased with the level of service and attention to detail every step of the way. I came with a need for laser hair removal and Dr. Kelishadi’s staff explained everything from A-Z with no questions left out. I’ve completed all the sessions they recommended, and the results are simply mind blowing! It helps me stay even more active with sports and not worry about ingrown hairs due to sweating. My wife on the other hand had breast revision surgery. Dr. Kelishadi is not just a top echelon plastic surgeon but also a Picasso of his trade . The results speak for themselves, absolute perfection!I wanted to leave this review here so people can get a better idea from a real client with real experience. If you’re looking for comprehensive cosmetic services, then look no further; this is your one stop shop! I would highly recommend this place to everyone!"
"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."

"I am so happy Dr K introduced me to Jolene! She doesn't over sell, says no if it's not going to look natural and just makes you feel safe, sexy and appreciated! . Please consider SSK Plastic Surgery before deciding! Love this family!"
"SSK Plastic surgery is the best plastic surgeons office in OC. Their entire staff is amazing and is very responsive. Jolene is their injector there and is amazing. I have gotten Botox, filler, and a few laser treatments from her and she is amazing. She always preps you on what exactly to expect, how it will feel, the results and she always follows up with you every day after. At SSK they really put their patients health and concerns first! Dr. K always comes in before the procedure and lets you know what to expect and sort of walks you through the process to ensure you know you are in good hands. He has some of the most talented people working at SSK! Jolene is also the sweetest person ever and will make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process :)"
"I am writing this review on behalf of my wife who recently underwent breast revision surgery. From the first consultation to the last post-op visit, Dr. K has been a complete rock star. My wife’s breasts looked great before, but she had some underlying issues with them. I am certain that had we gone with a different surgeon to do the revision, she would not have had such incredible results. Dr. K knew exactly what he needed to do, therefore taking any guessing and/ or fear out of the process. My wife had a post-op complication and Dr. K took initiative, communicating with us multiple times a day and helped my wife heal quickly. My wife is now almost 4 months post-op and Dr. K continues to follow up with us to check in on how she is doing. Another great benefit of going with Dr. K is that he requires the patient to get surgery insurance to cover any unforeseen or potential issues. Had we not had the insurance, we would have been looking at additional bills, etc. Thanks to the insurance and Dr. K’s compassion, I am happy to report that my wife is looking and feeling wonderful today. Thank you for doing an incredible job. We consider you our friend for life!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Kelishadi and his staff. I use Vivace Microneedling quarterly as my primary anti-aging tool. Vivace is different from most products on the market because its also has radiofrequency which stimulates more collagen production. This is absolutely the best way to stay looking young and looking young is all about prevention."
"Going to Dr. K for my breast augmentation was the best decision ever. He treated me with such amazing care. I have been impressed from my very first visit until today, 1 year later. He took the time to understand what I wanted and the results came out better than expected. He also has such a welcoming and hospitable staff. The most impressive part was the day of surgery. Dr. K came in to make sure I was ok and he gave me an bag full of goodies. He then called to check up on me multiple times over the weekend. The recovery was way easier than I expected. My only regret is that I didn’t go to him sooner!"

"Dr. Kelishadi is amazing! I love how attentive he is and gives you great advice on what you should get done or shouldn't. I've been to different surgeon offices and I always find myself booking another appointment with his office instead. The ladies at his office are another reason why I keep coming as well, such sweet and friendly ladies. I love how Every time I come they are super welcoming and I don't feel like I'm being judged! I've been to Offices before where I feel like I'm bugging the staff or when I'm asking questions they answer very annoyed. Here! They answer all your questions with concern and very kindly. Thank you Shae & Alex for being great customer service representatives & following up on my appointment reminders! I've had a hydra facial + Vivace done at his office. Which I definitely recommend, I should probably book another hydra-facial while I'm writing this review. Also, I've had my breast done elsewhere but will be contacting Dr. K once I'm ready for new boobies. I'll be referring all my clients, friends, staff, and family to Dr. Kelishadi FIVE STARS FROM ISABELLA"
"I initially was drawn to SSK because of a promotion for their hydra facial. I met Shay and Alejandra who helped me understand the benefits of hydra facials. My complimentary hydra facial at their open house promotion was awesome!! I joined the SSK Club and now treat myself to monthly hydra facials at a reduced rate. My skin is glowing! I feel taken care of at SSK, and Shay and Alejandra make sure I feel this way. I've even tried the micro needling technique offered by Dr. Kellishadi which has taken my glow to a new level. Dr. Kellishadi obviously truly cares about his patients because he's interested in what's best for ME and not just what will make his cash flow grow. He said I don't need surgery to look great at my age. I'm 55. Most plastic surgeons would jump on the opportunity to talk a 55-year-old woman into chasing a youthful look through a face lift or some other expensive surgery. He spent the time to talk with me about my life goals and what makes me feel happy and alive, and we BOTH decided that going under the knife isn't what is best for me. I choose to maintain my best look by non-invasive procedures such as hydra facials and micro needling. Dr. Kellishadi cares about my satisfaction and happiness with SSK services despite the fact that I'm the opposite of a "high ticket" client. Because of this, I'm now a loyal customer."
"New Start - For anyone that is looking to do something for themselves, no matter what the reason is, I would recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone and everyone. I have been waiting to have cosmetic surgery for 5 years after having my 3rd child, and went to multiple offices and spoke to 4 other surgeons prior to meeting Dr. Kelishadi. Once I met with him, I felt comfortable and trusted him with my procedure. Dr. Kelishadi was thorough, knowledgable and patiently answered all of my questions. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation, and liposuction of the back and love handle areas with a fat transfer into my butt/hips. It was a 7.5 hour procedure that ended up being a little over 8 hours. His staff was extremely helpful with all of the paperwork and financing leading up to the day of surgery, and the hospital staff that Dr. K is contracted with was warm and caring. I was nervous about the procedure and my recovery, and Dr. Kelishadi personally made phone calls (even on Christmas Day because my surgery was just a few days before) to check in with me. I was able to reach him directly with any questions or concerns- the care and level of service far exceeds any I have ever had in the medical field.I am now a little over 3 months post-op and I feel amazing and am so happy with my results. SSK made this experience as easy as it could possibly be."
"Dr. Kelishadi and his staff are the absolute best! - First I have to say that if I could give Dr. Kelishadi & his staff more than 5 stars I would!! Dr. K is the absolute best! His friendly outgoing personality puts you at total ease to discuss any of your concerns or fears, all your options etc... & his skills in this field are the clencher!! He's amazing!! I'm in the medical field & work along side a variety of doctors daily. I'm only going to trust the best! I had the ThermiVa procedure done. It's a painless procedure that tightens everything up vaginally, inside & out!! He uses radio frequency energy to heat the tissue inside & out. After having kids I had some urinary incontinence with exercising, sneezing & coughing. This is a problem since I work out 5-7 times a week & have allergies! I'm happy to say that it's a problem that's been resolved by Dr. Kelishadi!!! And it truly was painless!! Coincidentally a relationship from the past was rekindled about 2 months after. Not only did he notice a difference in tightness & actually said something, (without me saying anything about having ThermiVa done), but I also had a much better sexual experience!! These results took me by surprise even though Dr. K had mentioned them. An unexpected perk!! :) I'm completely thrilled with my results & recommend Dr. Kelishadi & his team, they're the best!! I plan on seeing him soon for a much needed breast lift!!"

"Dr. Kelishadi is absolutely amazing! I went in for micro needling and I'm not even kidding... it was completely painless. And not the kind of "painless" that waxing and laser hair removal ads say where it actually hurts like crazy... It was actually PAINLESS. His attention to detail was great, and I was able to take headshots 6 days later with no redness whatsoever. I've been getting tons of comments that I look visibly several years younger. I have the best skin right now that I've ever had. I couldn't recommend him enough!"

"Any of my negative pre-conceived notions about plastic surgeons dissipated the moment I met Dr. Kelishadi. I wasn't looking for surgery but rather alternatives that I could perform to ensure I was doing the best for my body to keep it at a place I was confident in without going under the knife. Dr. K isn't one of those doctors who tries to sell you on surgery immediately; quite the contrary, he examined me thoroughly and gave a candid assessment that he didn't think I needed surgery anyway! This proved to me that Dr. Kelishadi truly cares about each individual's needs, and has "helping people" as his compass and not just dollar signs. I have been receiving a thermal treatment with him for a handful of months and have been so happy with the respectful treatment I have received that it is a joy to go back. Orange County is a commute from LA, but the treatment and level of professionalism made it well worth it in my book.And did I mention he's funny? Dr. Kelishadi has a sense of humor that humanizes the process and makes you feel comfortable and at ease, almost like visiting a friend. His talents speak for themselves, and his ability to relate and comfort nerves make him stand heads above the rest. I highly recommend consulting Dr. Kelishadi - I'm happy I did!"
