From the reviews
In 2025 I decided to address my sagging jowls and neckline and consulted several physicians. It wasn’t until I met Dr. Sassan Alavi that I felt confident I’d found the right surgeon. I was nervous about the procedure, but Dr.
Before discovering this office I had been to 3 different offices, over several years planning to have my procedure done, and none of them worked out all for different reasons. When I found Dr. Alavi’s office, at the consultation, they made me feel so welcome and comfortable. The staff was just absolutely amazing.
My experience with Dr. Alavi was amazing from start to finish. His bedside manner was exceptional, and his work exceeded my expectations. From my very first consultation, he truly listened to me, asked thoughtful questions, and took the time to understand the vision I had for myself — and he delivered exactly that.
I had my breast augmentation with Dr. Alavi back in September, and I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From my very first consultation to my final follow-up, he and his staff were incredibly kind, caring, and efficient. They made me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Dr.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
