"Dear Dr. Nassif,

Several years ago I was diagnosed with a skin cancer called Basal Carcinoma. As a young mother this was devastating to me. I worked in my children’s classrooms throughout the years plus I also work in Real Estate, so I am always meeting new people. During these years, I have had several wonderful doctors who were able to isolate and remove these carcinomas through Moh’s surgery, however some of the scars left behind were obvious and disfiguring.

No one can  prepare you for the after-effects of surgery, what you’re going to look like and how you’re going to feel, with each surgery I had to have, I slowly felt my confidence disappearing. That is when I met you and my life changed forever. My husband and I could not get over how positive and determined you were that I would not have to live with these scars for the rest of my life. Enclosed are photos of the last few sets of surgeries I had to have, the photos of my chin and cheek are revisions that you did, and the other surgery is when I had to have more Basal Cell Carcinomas removed which you did the surgery to close up the incisions.

While in the beginning stages of recovery and looking at all the stitches on my face, I once again felt the despair and was slowly giving up of ever looking normal. My only source of hope was in your talent, expertise and the connection you made with my husband and myself.  I know I never told you this, but that I would be alright. I sincerely appreciate the care that both of you gave, which I’m sure contribute to the speed and comfort of healing.

I believe my life has been forever changed because of you. I no longer want to hide and pretend this cancer doesn’t exist. I have learned that early diagnosis, along with your care has contributed to the life I live today. On behalf of my family and myself, we are forever grateful. Time expertise and positive attitude are the gifts you have passed on to me so that I can believe in myself again and hopefully I can help others who are – or have been in my situation. You may use these photos in any way you need, and again thank you for the precious doctor that you are. If you have any patients that would like to speak with me, please know that I’ll be here for them.

With love and great appreciation,
Cherie White

One can't turn back time; however, there is a great part of me that wishes I had done this years ago. The look of being tired or worn seemed to be an endless battle and no amount of cream or makeup could really erase the years that were on my face. Applying more cream to soften those wrinkles or hoping it would lessen those thoughts. Now, it is an incredible feeling to be restored at age 50; my hat goes off to Dr. Nassif, a great surgeon. To wake up and feel refreshed but to look it is wonderful. It is so much fun to see myself in the mirror (smile). Now I say wow, is that me, sometimes I can't believe it; I look and feel very pretty in a very natural way. It's funny, although I was only looking to rejuvenate my face; the surgery has also helped me to find an inner strength and energizes my entire being. For me, it has created self-confidence, that I wish everyone could feel. Having Dr. Nassif as my surgeon has been such a fantastic experience, his genuine and gentleman approach is outstanding, you feel so secure and you know you are in competent hands from beginning to end. I am extremely grateful for his expertise.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you, and to express my most sincere appreciation to you and your staff for everything before, during and after my procedures.

For a year I researched various “specialists” for facial work – especially eyes. This work led me to you. They say “the eyes are the windows to one’s soul.” I wanted to be sure that if I had work done, it would still be “my soul” people could see. I am happy to say that following the first consultation (and then subsequent visit a couple of years later when I decided to move forward with procedures to both my eyes and nose) I knew that not only had I selected the very best surgeon, but the only surgeon I would trust with so much delicate work.

It has now been 18 months and I can tell you that every day I see the results in the mirror I am absolutely ticked – not to mention I can breathe through my nose! Gone are the days of friends, family and associates asking if I feel alright or if I’m tired. I just simply look and feel great.

In closing, words alone cannot express the gratitude I feel. You have restored the self confidence that I hadn’t realized I had lost. I will truly be forever grateful.

Sincerely,

Laura Chamberlain

I remember when I first visited The Spalding Surgery reading testimonials and wondering whether they were real. Well three months later I have had my operation and am writing one myself.

I am delighted to write this testimonial. I am very grateful to Dr. Amron as he has helped give me a body at 43 years of age better than the one I had at 23. (In fact it took him an hour and a half to achieve what I had been trying to attain for over 20 years!) I, therefore have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Amron for I believe him to be a surgeon of great talent and to be the best in his field.

I have spent years working out in a gym and trying to lose that 'extra weight' around my middle. Interestingly, I was always at the lower end of the acceptable weight range for my height/frame in fact often I was deemed to be a few pounds underweight. But it was very obvious to me that I had 'grown up' disproportionately and that I should not be carrying this weight around my middle. To me, it felt unhealthy and not particularly attractive.

I undertook all the pre-operation procedures in the UK with no problems. I then flew here on the 1st August and undertook the surgery on the 3rd August. I flew back to London on the 6th August. Here are some key points that I think are of interest to the reader:

i) I can already see, only two and a half weeks after the operation that it has been a complete success and I wish I had undertaken it sooner. I feel far more comfortable with my shape and my clothes look/feel better on me. Life has become so much easier and less expensive for me as I do not have to spend time and money on trying to 'cover up' my waist and abdomen areas, for I can wear near enough anything now.

ii) The operation itself, although being an unusual sensation was without any pain and no real discomfort at all. It was carried out under local anesthetic and I was chatting with Dr. Amron and the nurses as if we were at Starbucks having coffee.

The worst part for me of the whole procedure was once I had come 'home' that I had to keep changing the dressings on the insertions as the operation fluid was leaking out but that only lasted till 11pm that night and by then the insertions had closed.

The following day I walked about three miles in the Hollywood Hills and felt great. The swelling had gone down substantially and if I had had to go to work that day I would have been able to.

Bruising and swelling has been really minimal far less than I expected.

All the staff at Spalding Drive Cosmetic and Dermatology were very helpful, kind and reassuring and not once did I feel worried or concerned.

Just two and a half weeks after the operation I seem to already be back to normal except for a tiny bit of sensitivity around my abdomen. The insertions are now just slight red marks and are fading very fast. I have been working out in the gym with no problem and I could already wear a bikini with complete confidence that no one would even notice that I had had surgery.

Dr. Amron really does rock.

Yours in good faith,
L.H.

"Dr. Nassif successfully performed my revision rhinoplasty.  Five years after having my first rhinoplasty with another surgeon, I injured my nose, which became the source for numerous functional problems.  I sought the help of Dr. Nassif due to his expertise in revision surgeries.  I was hard pressed to find a surgeon who specializes in, and dedicates, such a significant portion of his practice to revisions; in fact, I was able to find a mere handful within the country, and only Dr. Nassif in Los Angeles.  However, in my initial consultation I soon realized, expertise aside, that Dr. Nassif was a person with whom I could build a good patient-physician relationship; he was attentive to my concerns, candid in his opinions, and through it all, we were able to laugh.

My nose required extensive reconstruction.  In order to achieve both aesthetically pleasing results, as well as improve the functioning of my nose, Dr. Nassif reconstructed my nose using cartilage from both of my ears and one rib (with the help of Dr. Lance Wyatt, a cosmetic surgeon I would also highly recommend).  My surgery lasted a total of seven hours, two hours longer than Dr. Nassif originally estimated.  The extended duration of my surgery was due to Dr. Nassif not wanting to end until he reached a result that would exceed both of our expectations; he has an eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and strives for perfection. Moreover, I am truly appreciative of Dr. Nassif’s surgical team, a team comprised of kind individuals who work together flawlessly toward the common goal of a successful surgery.  I am currently four months post-operative, have minimal scarring, and am extremely satisfied with my result.

Dr. Nassif’s expertise in facial cosmetic surgery is unmatched.  His surgical results are direct evidence of his talent and skill in the operating room.  And, outside of the operating room, Dr. Nassif is truthful in his opinions, gracious, and shows genuine care and concern for each of his patients. 

Thank you Dr. Nassif!

As an educator, I am most aware of the fact that it is very important to work with the "whole" child. Not only is the academic component important, but also the social and emotional well being of each child is just as vital.

The same philosophy is true with Dr. Amron and his entire staff. Not only do they take care of the physical aspect of the procedure being done, but in addition, great concern is shown for the emotional well being of the patients.

Dr. Amron is very "gifted" and he utilizes both medical and artistic talent in achieving the best result. His entire staff is exemplary in the manner in which each patient is reassured and treated with great respect.

I was very nervous, but not one moment of this experience was negative. The entire surgery center rates an "A."

Dear Dr Amron,

It was a pleasure meeting you the other day. I was so excited for my tumescent liposuction procedure. Seriously I couldn't sleep for weeks. Anyway, the day finally came and I was so happy. I must tell you what a gorgeous job you did on my body and such a spectacular job on my cheeks. I never thought you could put fat in cheeks!! What a difference. Boy I love it. The pain was minimal and most worth it. Can't wait to show the world how happy and grateful I am with my new body and face.

Kindest regards,
S.

I cannot begin to thank you enough for you kinaness and generosity from the moment I entered your office I was exhumed with an atmosphere of warmth, compassion, and comfort, one that immediately grasped my atternan.

Upon meeting with you, something inexplicable about your personality captured my heart and made me realize that noone else could be my doctor. As you said yourself, I need to choose a doctor who I am comfortable with, and the connection that my mother and I made with you, exceeded anything I could have ever expected. I have never seen my mother relate I'd someone in the manner she me did with you. You truly touched her heart, and we both agree that your mother must have been an incredible woman for she raised a wonderful man. Dr. Nassif, I am ecstatic and so grateful to have you as my surgeon.

Thank you so much for helping my dreams come true. I cannot wait!!!

Sincerely,
Melodie"

Prior to meeting Dr Amron I was very insecure about the shape of my body and always tailored my clothes to hide the parts I did not like.

Since my Los Angeles Liposuction surgery, however, I have a whole new perception and finally feel comfortable in my own skin.
Both Dr Amron and Spalding Drive staff were wonderful. They made my experience a positive one and I could not be happier with the results.

Thank you so much!

"Dear Jade,

First of all, my English is not that good, but I will try my best to explain it so it might help all those who have similar case to mine..

As for a 21 years old girl, being beautiful was an obsession to me, I always get complements about my look, my style, the way I wear my hair and even my make up, when I look at the mirror I see a beautiful girl, but there was some thing I did not like, I had a tiny bone humb on my nose, and it was ruining my profile look, I asked my friends once if they think removing that humb is a good idea, most of them said no, it is not that obvious and no need to go under knife just because of this tiny humb, but they did not convince me with that, actually the humb was bothering me a lot, maybe I was not even listing to them, because deep inside me I wanted to get rid of it no matter what they will say.. I decided to do the surgery, and I was like "its just a tiny humb, my procedure is very easy, any surgeon can do it !!" I had no idea that this "thought" is going to destroy my life.. I went to a surgeon, I even did not ask anyone I trust about that surgeon, I just wanted any plastic surgeon to do the surgery to me, because i thought that my nose did only need a humb removal and any surgeon can do that no matter how good he is in that field, the weird thing is that that "surgeon" did not talked to me, he even did not asked me what I did not like in my nose, he just looked at me and then took one of my profile photos and draw a curve on my nose and said " I will remove the humb and I will enhance the tip of your nose to make it look better" that sounded great to me, I told him that I am ok with that, I did the surgery the next day, right after one week I visited him to remove the stitches and the cast to see my new nose for the first time, I can tell that this was the very worst day in my life, I was shocked when I looked at the mirror, I did recognized the face I am looking in to, the change was very huge, it was amazing how my nose changed me completely 180 degrees to a different person, a person with a deformed nose, I was confused and speechless, am I looking to me in that mirror or what? I felt I wanted to cry, something wrong is going on my surgeon keeps on telling me "your nose is beautiful" but I could not believe him because all I could see is an ugly deformed nose that changed my look to a different person..

I just could not understand why me? What did I do wrong? Is that fair? I was devastated, I hated me because of what I did to my self, it was all my mistake, I did not want any one to see me like this, I was locking my self home, not seeing anyone, even my friends, and whenever I looked at the mirror I can not stop my self crying, I suffered from a weight loss, hair loss, no more self confidence, my life was officially over, my mom was devastated even more, because there is nothing she could do to help me, she keeps on reminding me about the girl I used to be before the surgery, a girl that is full of life, asking me to get back, but I just couldn't, this situation lasted for 4 years, after that I decided to look for similar cases to mine, to see if it is possible for my nose to be fixed, I found out this website, after browsing the photo gallery I was sure like 100% that my nose is going to be fixed, so after discussing the possibility of flying to LA to meet Dr. Nassif with my mom, I contacted them online, arranged everything even the date of my first appointment, and then booked my tickets, every thing went very smooth, though my flight from where I live in this world to LA took more than 20 hrs, but it was amazing because I had hope... I met Jade first, she was like the sweetest woman on this earth, just talking to her made me feel very comfortable, then I met the genius Dr. Paul, I really cant find words to describe this guy, nothing seems to be enough, we talked about my case, he explained every single details to me, I dont know why, but even before meeting him I trusted him, and I had a strong feelings that he is going to save me, he showed me my predicted image on his computer, and it was exactly what I wanted, then I had the surgery, even though I do trust him, but I was terrified to look at my face right after the surgery, I waited until the day to remove the stitches and the cast and when I first looked at my nose, I saw a natural nose, it was very huge because my procedure was not simple, lot of cartilage removed and replaced on my nose, but my nose looked so natural even with the swollen, Dr. Nassif told me that my nose is going to look smaller after a while, all I have to do is just to wait.

Now after 7 months my nose looks so beautiful, natural and I can breath better than before, this is a miracle, never thought that I might get back my nose again, before meeting Dr. Nassif I met so many surgeons, non of them gave me hope, I remember that one of the surgeons told me " it is impossible that your nose is going to be like before again", if getting back my nose again was impossible, then there is nothing impossible with Dr. Nassif...

Thank you so much Dr. Nassif for what you did to me..
Yours,
E. M."

My name is Caroline. Approximately eight weeks ago, I decided to try liposculpture. I have wanted to have this done for the past three years.

All the doctors that I consulted with said I would have a wonderful result. That was not the problem. I am allergic to anesthesia. Unless I absolutely had to have surgery, I did not want anesthesia.

After a consult with Dr. Amron, my prayers were answered. Lunch-time lipo, under local anesthesia, back to work asap, walk the following day. I could not believe what I was hearing. But true to his word, I walked two miles the day after surgery, and went back to work two days later.

There was some pain, however, I went through the whole surgical procedure and the recovery period without one pain pill.

Eight weeks later, I am eight pounds lighter. I have gone from a size 8 to a size 4. I purchased my first 28 jeans in years and feel fantastic.

No matter how many of my friends said I did not need to do this, I did not listen. They do not live in my body. They are now all jealous, and see the amazing results. Now I feel sexy and young.

My body has healed without ripples or bumps. Dr. Amron is a perfectionist. I cannot recommend him and his office highly enough.

"It's been close to two months since I underwent my rhinoplasty procedure and I can't put into words how happy I am with the early results.

"You would've thought that one would be nervous about the procedure but since the first day I sat in your chair it's been an easy process, one that I was able to go through with complete confidence. I think that the comfort has come from always knowing what was going to be expected from each step along the way. Dr. Nassif always made it a point to get realistic expectations and did so with a consistent goal in mind to not drastically change my "look". Sure we originally had different opinions on what the outcome of my procedure should be like, but he took the time to explain the medical reasoning behind his instead of making it seem like he was just noting as an "opinionated expert". His candor made it clear that he understood that there were personal feelings involved and that it was more than just "procedure" to me.

"I believe that Dr. Nassif said that the ultimate compliment to him is "when people say how much others haven't noticed that a procedure had been done". I couldn't truly comprehend his statement until it became a reality for me. I believe that any cosmetic procedure is a personal experience and that it makes it even more so when only a select group of people truly knows that it has been done. In true honesty. I can tell you that I was self-conscience about "re-entering the real world". Not until it actually happened did I realize that most of what I expected was only in my head. Sure it took time to get acclimated to the new image I saw in the mirror and I can even say that there were times I second guessed my original decision, but that all came to end when friend of over 20 years didn't notice the change. If they have, I guarantee that they don't know what is different, but just know that it looks good.

"Beyond the actual procedure and my time spent with Dr. Nassif everyone at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology was excellent. The entire staff went above common practice to make sure that I felt comfortable from consultation to my continued follow-up. At no time have I felt as if I was being judged or having my vanity questioned, it's been almost family like.

"As for you... you've been great! Serious this time your honest opinion was comforting throughout the entire process. I've really appreciated the phone calls you've made before and after the procedure. I know that they were done in your "off time" and knowing that makes it even more genuine.

"Enjoy your Soy-Latte!"

D.S.

Dear Dr Amron,

Thank you so much for my fabulous “cheeks” they look terrific!

You are an artist with such perfection. This liposuction procedure was a piece of cake, well worth it. I can't begin to thank you enough. It's really funny how such a small procedure could make such a big difference, but it really did.

I can't wait to share this wonderful experience with my friends.

Thank you again,
T.E.

June 02, 2008

I wanted to thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I'm sending this letter to you a little later than I would have liked, but since my rhinoplasty, a lot has changed.

I have graduated from Chapman University. I have gotten engaged with my boyfriend and two months ago, we got married in orange Country. I'm also in the process of finishing law school within a year's time.

How are all these things related to my surgery? Well, I wanted to improve the appearance of my nose ever since I became a teenager. My surgery was my pre-graduation present. I wanted it so much, but I was scared to go through with it as i have never had surgery before.

With your confident and calm attitude, I was able to trust my doctor and let him do his beautiful work. My nose turned out to be EXACTLY how I wanted. It gave me the look I was hoping to achieve but more importantly, my nose looked natural. No one and I mean no one could tell that I had surgery, although everyone noticed that there was something that made me look different.

I got my self confidence and I was able to pose for my graduation, engagement and wedding pictures without worrying to see if my profile will show. And tha's the gift you have given me: the gift of NOT thinking about how I look, and just enjoying the moment.

As for the surgery itself, Ive healed in no time. I was able to walk around and do things after day two and i was able to get back to my classes after day 5. My bruises were gone in 2 weeks and I never had to take any pain medication. But most importantly, when my boyfriend (now my husband) paged you to ask a question, you have called us back within seconds!!

You care about your patients and you are there for them every step of the way. So a BIG THANKS from this patient. I have had the best experience and I would recommend your professionalism and care to anyone who thinks about having plastic surgery.

Best wishes for you and your practice!
Selin"

Dr Amron and the wonderful staff at Spalding Drive:

I wanted to thank all of you for making my procedure such a painless and a pleasurable one! I have to admit I was a bit nervous walking into the office for the first time, but from the moment I was greeted at the front desk to then being taken back for my initial consultation, I was immediately put at ease!

I cannot state enough just how impressed I am by all of you and the care that you bestow upon your patients. Dr Amron, you made me feel instantly at ease and I greatly appreciated your honesty and your approach to the liposuction procedure. You evaluated my body type and my body structure and chose the best course of surgery to correct any areas of disproportion.

The procedure itself was basically painless (arms, flanks, lower abdomen, and outer thighs) and within a matter of hours I was walking around as though nothing had been done to me! I couldn't believe it! The recovery process was painless and so easy to “endure”. I'd been expecting to feel sore and battered for days or weeks afterwards, but by the next night I was out to dinner and enjoying myself with friends!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr Amron and all of Spalding Drive Cosmetic Drive and Dermatology to anyone interested in undergoing liposuction. Dr Amron is truly an artist in his field. I cannot emphasize just how wonderfully he executed the entire procedure from the initial consultation, to the pre-op, to the operation itself! I'm still amazed by how easy it all was.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You've made me more comfortable in my own skin than I'd ever imagined possible! I love my new look my new body!

Best Wishes

"Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for Dr. Nassif and the staff at Spalding Drive. Dr. Nassif is definitely one of a kind... after my consult with him I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon. His work is AMAZING... as you can see my before & after pictures! He changed my life and I am forever thankful.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

In addition to the greatness of Dr. Nassif, the staff at Spalding is very comforting and friendly. And a special shout out to Jade: Thank you for not only being my patient care consultant but also my friend during pre and post surgery =)

Thank you All =)

Dear Dr Amron,

I just had to write to you following my treatment last week.

After months of searching for the right Beverly Hills' cosmetic surgeon . I saw you on UK television. I immediately called your office and spoke to Jade (who was most helpful). She put me through to you on the telephone. After speaking with you I had great confidence in the practice and decided to book an appointment with you.

Since we were coming from the UK we had to link flights and hotels with the right appointment times. Despite this being many e-mail and phone calls for your staff to attend to, they were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. When we arrived at your practice, the staff was as friendly and pleasant in person as they had been on the telephone.

The day of surgery quickly arrived. I was put at ease very quickly. The staff was so professional and confident, that any fears I had were quickly expelled. All of my questions were answered and I became very relaxed. After surgery I went home. I expected to have some pain the next day but nothing. I could walk around, even jog without any pain the next day. Absolutely unbelievable!!

I am now back in England. I can see a tremendous difference after only a week. My wife and I are both amazed at the results. You said it would take about six weeks to really notice a difference, but I am really impressed by the results already.

My family and friends have already commented on how good I look. In fact after shouting your praises, I am sure everyone in my area will be booking flights to see you soon.

Thank you so much for giving me the body I wanted. You are a genius.

Kind Regards,
L.B.

"Hello Jade
The reason why I decided to write this e-mail is that I want to show you and Dr. Nassif something

In this e-mail I attached my very new photo and i want u both to have a look on the new me...

I just want both of you to know that my life never been so perfect than now, I'm very grateful to both of you Dr. Nassif did a miracle to me and I'll always remember that on the other half of the world there is an angel named Paul Nassif who helped me to stand up again and be so confident...

Thank you so much Dr. Paul i'll always pray for you.

Dr. Amron,

I just wanted to let you know that I could not be happier since having done liposuction! Having been a Playboy playmate, I am extremely self-conscious. When I could not lose the extra fat that we women get around our hip area, even with exercise, my self-esteem hit an all-time low. Once I had surgery I could not believe how quickly I healed. I walked two miles recommended the day after my surgery and four miles the next day. I was back in the gym in no time. Two and a half weeks after my surgery, all of my bruising was gone! I had very little pain and did not need any painkillers. Since my surgery, I can now wear clothing with a renewed confidence and love to put on a swimsuit. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner! Many thanks to you and your staff for your kindness and understanding.

Sincerely,
T.B.

"Dear Dr. Nassif:

You recently performed my 4th and final rhinoplasty with excellent results. I came to you with a deformed nose, as well as nasal obstruction secondary to a deviated septum, following three previous surgeries. I was despondent because my nose was disfigured and felt that you understood my emotional pain. I am SO grateful to you for restoring my nose and my spirit.

You initially performed a careful assessment and then proposed a corrective plan tailored to my specific needs. You were extremely thorough in your evaluation, requiring all prior medical records and referral to several different specialists. What particularly impressed me was the fact that you took the time to read my medical history and proceeded with caution, thereby minimizing the chance of causing further damage. I am a highly anxious person, and both you and your staff were extremely patient with me. You were honest, yet kind, making certain that my expectations were realistic. You advised me that my breathing difficulties might not resolve with septoplasty. I was always aware that the goal was “improvement - not perfection.”

I am still in the healing process, but it appears that the outcome of this last revision is positive and that I won’t require any further operations. You are a gifted surgeon and a wonderful human being. Thank you for making me whole again.

Sincerely,
Roxy"

Dear Dr. Amron,

It has now been eight weeks since my liposuction, and I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how this procedure has changed my life—all for the better. Thank you so very much for your skill, caring, and professionalism.

Prior to making our first appointment with you, we investigated many plastic surgeons as to their reputation, qualifications, and results. Why? Because my body is very important to me, and I wanted the best. I wanted the body that I had when I was Miss Colombia for Tourism (some 20+ years ago). During my first consultation, you took the time necessary to explain every aspect of the liposuction procedure to me. But more importantly, you were realistic in your explanation of results to be expected. You were right when you told me that the surgery did not hurt and that I would see most of the results in six to eight weeks.

Let me tell you that my body now is better than I ever could have dreamed. You have changed my life in ways that I never thought were possible. Unlike some other patients, I am proud that I had liposuction and now have a sexy body (and a new wardrobe!). I tell everyone I know about my surgery and my wonderful doctor. I have more self-confidence and feel wonderful. And now I have the desire and excitement to have other procedures to counter the effects of gravity on my face and other parts.

Thank you for making me a happy, sexy, and young woman again. My husband is ecstatic by my results.

Thank you so very much. Again! See you soon!
P.S.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I want to start by saying that you changed my life.  I am so happy with the results of my rhynoplasty. After years of contemplating my decision I could not be happier.  You are amazing and the work that you do is beautiful, natural and you completely understood what my goals were.  From the moment I walked into your office I had a good feeling.  Everyone was so professional yet still so warm and friendly which put me at such ease about the whole process.

Now 3 months post surgery I am still seeing the improvement.  The day you took the cast off I liked what I saw and I love it more each day as I continue to heal. Being that my nose was so difficult, every angle is improved and I still look like myself.

You treated me like such an important patient.  I can not thank you enough.  I would be honored to be able to tell other potential patients my feelings about the whole experience.  I look forward to my next follow up visit.

Sincerely,
Gina"

Dear Dr. Amron and Staff:

I first heard of mini-lipo from Jillian Barberie on channel 11 Good Day LA, and I wondered how they could do lipo without putting you to sleep. But it sounded so good I had to look into it.

From the moment I called for a consultation I felt extremely comfortable with Eve taking me through some of the process over the phone and telling me how good your work on lipo surgery was. When I walked into your office, your staff was very pleasant and I immediately felt very important. I told Even that I have always had large thighs and a pouch on my stomach, she showed me some photos of before and after surgeries you had performed. I was starting to get more excited about meeting you and to see what you would recommend to me.

When you told me that I was a good candidate for the procedure I could not wait for our start date, I had been waiting for many years. The process took a little long that day going back into Eve to make the necessary arrangements that Eve gave me a wonderful gift certificate for another area you facility specializes in, facials. It was a very nice gift and I appreciated it very much.

Well, the day finally came and the procedure went just like you said it would. My recovery was only uncomfortable for the first 24 hours but as I moved around each day I felt better and all I needed was a few Tylenol and the first couple of days. I started walking within the second day and increased by two miles by the second week. I now got on my stationary bike almost every morning and I walk more often than ever before, roller blade about once a week and go on hikes whenever possible.

Now just eight weeks later I look and feel so much better because of my new way of life and your expertise on liposuction surgery. Thank you so much and I will see you in a few months for my stomach!

Sincerely,
E.A.

"I would like to thank you for my wonderful new nose.  It is odd to say "new” nose because, it looks like the nose I was born with. So, perhaps, I should say thank you for my "new”,”old, "nose.

As you know, I have been a registered nurse in the state of California, for twelve years. I have worked with many doctors and surgeons, as a traveling nurse, registry nurse and staff nurse, at some fine hospitals.

Dr. Nassif, you have a gift. Your hard work in your studies and hands-on clinical expertise is evident. In addition, your bed side manor is comforting.  You are a master at your craft. My case was challenging at best. I had broken my nose several times through out my life playing sports. Back in the mid 70’s my first broken nose was readjusted with what looked like a crow bar, (back to back trauma.)

It was in 2001 that I had "proper” Rhinoplasty. Much to my distain my nose started collapsing, slowly. I was told by my surgeon that there was nothing he or I could do; my nose was like an "eggshell!” I lived with declining functional ability and physical distortion for years.  Sometimes strangers would ask me what happened to my nose. One night, I was watching a show on cosmetic surgery. They were featuring a girl, (woman) that had Revision Rhinoplasty. She was your patient, Dr. Nassif. At this point, I could hardly breathe and looked awful. I felt, I needed help. I looked through your website and was reassured.

I took a calculated risk and had my revision with you. My surgery went well, healing was slow and steady.  I was anxious, nervous to see what I was going to look like. When you took the cast off, I read your eyes. I will never forget the look in your eyes, it was like Christmas morning. I knew my revision was a success!!!

Thank You, Bless You
Ann"

Dear Dr. Amron,

I wanted to take the time to thank you. It has been three months since my abdominal and flank liposuction procedure. I am very pleased with the results. Because I work in the medical profession I took a great of time researching the procedure. I was particularly impressed by your straightforward and honest approach. I would never have had this procedure done by a plastic surgeon because of the risk of anesthesia. After the procedure, I felt very comfortable because we had discussed what was going to happen in such great detail. Everyone on your staff (including the patient coordinator, OR nurses, clinic nurse, and secretaries) is very knowledgeable and friendly.

I am so happy with the results! All I can think of is that I should have had the procedure done years earlier. No longer do I have to try all of these crazy diets to lose weight in a particular area. Instead, I continue to exercise and eat well-balanced meals.

I have repeatedly heard that those individuals who often to gain weight around the middle are at a higher risk for developing heart disease. This is of particular concern for me because my father has heart disease. It is reassuring to know that I have changed the way my body stores fat.

I am so pleased with how natural the results look. No one can even tell that I have had anything done… not even when I am in a bathing suit. Thank you so much for using your artistic eye and skillful hands to contour what is now a sleek, sexy, and very curvaceous body. It has done wonders for my confidence and my body image.

I will highly recommend you to my friends.

Thank you again for such a positive experience.

Sincerely,
M.T.

Testimonials in Short:
I have never liked my nose. Thanks to genetics and a couple of direct hits with a volley ball I disliked it even more. For years, I have wanted a “pretty” profile. To not have to be self-conscious and afraid of mean comments on a daily basis. I felt like I was a prisoner, forced to put up emotional walls for fear of being hurt, even by well intended peoples’ comments. I thought I would never be released from the burden of not only my nose, but my mind. One day, I was watching Dr.90210 and Dr. Nassif was one of the featured Rhino-plastic Surgeons. With complete attention, I watched in amazement at the latest techniques he had shown for a patient that had a particularly hard case… a cleft lip. I was impressed by the fact that he didn’t turn her away. He was a confident in his abilities to produce Beautiful results, even for those that had very little hope. I knew this was the right Dr. for me. I had a VERY difficult case myself and I had already been turned down by a supposed “great” surgeon in my area. Feeling discouraged and a little hopeless, I made the call to Dr. Nassif’s office. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I LOVE my new nose!

Thank You:
To Jade, The Office, and Surgical Staff:

A Big Thank You for the loving care and patience I received from EVERYONE in the Office and Surgery Center. You always answered my questions with kindness and humor. I hope you know how many lives you touch in such a positive way, just by treating each person so wonderfully. What a Awesome Team!

To Dr. Pearson:

Thank You for calling me the night before and calming the little fear I had about anesthesia. It made a World of difference in facing the next day. Thank You also for your kindness and humor.

To Dr. Nassif:

I know there are surgeons who are “Good”, surgeons who are “Great” and then there are surgeons who are “Superior”. This is what you are to me.

I have ALWAYS known you were the surgeon I would choose. There was never a doubt in my mind. It is why on the day of surgery I was completely at ease.

I TRULY believe, that you are the Michel Angelo of your field, Your Amazing work is evidence of a Brilliant mind, Perfectionist eye and Absolute Confidence in your abilities. The result is Artistry with Functionality. On top of that, you are a wonderful and caring person. You have a gift. You see so much in so little (my broken nose). Where others took hope away, you were able to give it back, and seemed to welcome the challenge. I THANK YOU from my soul for restoring the confidence I had lost. I now have a beautiful feature to be proud of. Everyone I know has said how amazing my nose looks and I RAVE about you to them. You can actually see envy when I tell them who I went to. May God bless you always.

Dear Dr. Amron and Dr. Nassif:

I am happy to report that I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgeries. This weekend while in Las Vegas, I was “carded” two times. That has not happened in many, many years!

The recovery from the liposuction on my arms and stomach was surprisingly quick and relatively painless. I walked two miles the very next day. I highly recommend liposuction by Dr. Amron since it was so easy!

I have always been a very slow healer and these surgeries were no exception, however, you both were available to me throughout my toughest days, and I appreciate all your input and dedication.

I will gladly refer people to your office for all this cosmetic surgery needs! Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
D.D.

"Always the quest for beauty. Always the quest for the most perfect "ME.” In a world and a culture that is centered around beauty, it becomes increasingly difficult to become satisfied with "ourselves;” after all we are not responsible for what we look like. We did not choose our genes or our parents. So, when we are older, sometimes…sometimes there are things that nag at us about our physical appearance and we think…if only…if only…...we could just fix this ONE thing, then all will be well.

Well, that happened with me. I have a very handsome father and in my opinion, a not so handsome mother. They married at 15, quickly separated after having children and needless to say, I grew up with my handsome father in tow.

I somehow ended up with my mother's not so stunning features and waited until just before my 29th birthday, after years of yearning, contemplation and a couple of broken noses later,  to do something about it. I sought consultations with many plastic surgeons and one I came upon, Dr. Nassif,  had a three month waiting list just for a consultation. I was rude to the receptionist…”What do you mean, three months? And what do you mean I have to pay for a consult?????”…..but still, I saw the others at first, before I realized that they just wanted to make me into the mold of everyone else that they had performed on. So, I met with Dr. Nassif; a handsome, young vibrant doctor, who told me that I was beautiful and that IF I really wanted to make a change….he, would suggest "THIS." I was smitten!!!! Smitten, at the idea of A BRAND NEW ME. . I was just excited, to say the least. After our consult, he sent me a hand written letter, letting me know that he was happy to be my new doctor, if I chose so. It was a nice touch and it made me feel taken care of. Also, his assistant Jade…was like the absolute, most realest and down to earth person I could come in contact with. She put me at ease even more and gave me all of the in’s and out’s of the procedure. Honestly, she was a godsend, especially in a city of pretension and B.S., I happen to find some authenticity with every single staff member of Dr. Nassif’s office.

I was a little nervous and got especially nervous at the time of surgery, when Teresa, a nurse there, told me she was going to put a catheter in me. I got weak and almost fainted, but still….there was something about her demeanor, which relaxed me. I mean, if someone was gonna do THAT, she’d be the person to go to. On the same day of surgery, Dr. Nassif came in, bright and early…I mean…too early for anyone to work, but that was HIM. Come rain or come shine….he is THERE for you. So, he came in and said, "Where’s my girl?” I mean…at that point, I was at his mercy and his mercy was a great place to be at. I could not have felt SAFER…honestly. The anesthesiologist was a complete doll, even making me laugh enough to relieve my tension. I think I must have told her my whole life story…chattering away in my nervousness.  She’s a godsend as well. When I  awoke, I was throwing up….I am like that….but there was a nurse with me,  there the whole time, holding my hand, listening to my babble. I mean for hours, talking me down…relieving me.  I was 100% in the best hands possible…the whole way through.

When the bandages first came off, I almost fainted…my nose was swollen and I didn’t recognize myself. It was a bit intimidating. But after one month…it looked amazing…at certain angles…. and then the months went by and I started getting tons of compliments. "Your hair looks great…did you put on weight…you look so healthy….,” things like that, but never at any point did anyone notice that the something different was my nose.

Not only is that the first compliment to Dr. Nassif, but his work is as such, that nothing ever looks manufactured. He sizes up your complete facial symmetry and helps create something so in tune with the face you already have. So much so, that, no one would ever suspect a nose job. In a world of plastic surgeons who want to give you that standard button nose, that is where Dr. Nassif differs. The post consults were amazing as well. I was treated like royalty.

His work is like…..GOD….but, and I think this might be very important to note……

He will say NO. He is not a man after money or ego gratification. He is a man who is set on integrity. I came in months later and insisted my nose be yet….smaller. He flat out said NO. That, that was a surgery that HE would not perform and that he would advise no one else to perform. I went home later that day, looked at the darn thing and decided he was right. The ultimate challenge I had ahead of me was this….even though many people told me I looked Stunning…how could I, figure out a way to re-prioritize and not put my looks first? How could I…..who now looks stunning, reconcile with the old "ME,” who didn’t feel so stunning and learn to accept myself for who I really am, inside and outside of physical beauty? This is in fact the biggest compliment to Dr. Nassif, as he said, "NO.”

I think he somehow knows these things….he’s a bit of an astute psychologist.

And so I thought and cried and decided that if anyone, anywhere was ever going to consider surgery such as this that, THE ONLY HANDS YOU SHOULD BE IN, are that of Dr. Nassif’s and his staff, who continue to support and greet me with warm enthusiasm to this very day.  And….I should note…I have the most kick ass rockin’ nose EVER.

I do look beautiful and that has changed my life COMPLETELY. I wish I had more words to thank him, but the thing is…is that he really gets a kick out of this job. He derives his life’s joy from changing the lives of others…in a completely authentic and honest way.

My hat is off to you Dr Nassif…once again, as I am sure I am not your only fan.

Dear Dr. Amron,

I cannot begin to thank you enough for the wonderful experience I had with you as my doctor. To begin with, I came to your office wondering about liposuction. I first met a lovely lady named Eve. She was so warm and nice and explained everything to me. So about half an hour later, I felt very comfortable about doing this procedure, which I have wanted to do for a long time. Besides reading about what a wonderful reputation you have and seeing pictures of your work, I realized that you were the doctor for me.

I came home really happy and excited that next morning I called your office and spoke with Stephanie who was really kind to me and made me an appointment for my surgery.

The morning of my surgery, I was very excited and also very nervous. Everyone was really nice o me, and then I felt really comfortable.

It was fun talking to you and you explaining everything to me as you were doing the procedure. It was so painless (I could not wait to get rid of that extra fat!).

Oh yes, I remember how excited I was to see six pounds of fat that you took off. I came home and I was really happy and excited that it was done. I can that that there was no pain during and after the procedure.

Today, I feel great and have so much more confidence. Not only do I look better, I feel so grateful that you helped me achieve a goal that I wanted to do for a long time.

I must tell you that I have been to several doctors and you are by far the most honest and truthful doctor that I know. I thank you from my heart for everything you have helped me achieve.

Kindest Regards,
S.B.

"I am so very happy with my surgery results! Everyone in Dr. Nassif's office has been wonderful. Jade is so nice and really made me feel at ease. Dr. Nassif made me feel as though I had nothing to worry about. He was right, too. Everything looks so great! I was so nervous not really knowing what to expect, and I just couldn't be happier! I have so much more confidence now! I think anyone who wants a procedure done should definately call Dr. Nassif!

Thank you so, so very much!
Rachel"

I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Amron and his clinic, hopefully to help others who are doubtfull or worried about going ahead with surgery.

Nearly four years ago now, I made a very bad decision, and had a liposuction procedure done in a reputable hospital with the head of plastic surgery department as my surgeon, on the island of Mallorca, Spain, where I have lived for the last 40 years.

I can quite honestly say that said procedure ruined my life - having always had a beautifull figure and haveing become used to walking into a room and everybody quieting for a second, I became invisible instantly - I had requested that a bit of fat which I couldn't budge with exersise, be removed from the top of my legs - and I ended up with no hips no buttocks and no waist - essentially a man!!!!! I am convinced that those of us haveing a procedure that day all got the same treatment - i.e. what most women want - but not me!!! The surgeon did not even mark on my body where the fat was to be removed as occurs always in every procedure, but haveing already taken my pre-op sedation - I was in no condition to protest.

The following three years were hell - I lost all my confidence - put on 10 kilos - did not want to go out of the house and became very depressed, that is untill I saw one of Louis Theroux's progammes on plastic surgery and was able to see Dr. Amron actually performing surgery on Louis Theroux!!

As I am now 50 years old, I had given up the hope of finding a surgeon who could at least rebalance out my body without being told that I was too old - and even possibly makeing my problem worse.

Dr. Amron's approach was so exactly what I was looking for i.e. somebody who would be able to get rid of all the horrible fat on my back to balance out my body so I could then find a way to loose the extra weight and therefore get some semblance of my former self back. (Just as an aside, I have discovered the blood group diet and amazingly lost 3.7 kilos in the last 11 days!!)

I found Dr. Amron's web site and everything there corraborated the impression I already had from the T.V.programme, I got in touch by phone and even from so far away there were no difficulties - I was able to send Dr.Amron some photos and spoke to him on the phone - such a nice man and honest too - I was sent all the necessary pre-op data by email and Jade especially was so helpfull when I was panicking about how to get a flight to coincide with possible surgery times - it was all made so easy - i.e. I got the flights booked and the surgery was booked to coincide, easy peasy.

All went ahead without a hitch - the recovery time is so amazingly quick it's quite difficult to believe, and I can honestly say that the most uncomfortable time is the first few hours after the op which quickly passes - and the next day you're walking the recommeded two miles.!!!!

To resume, I can't thank you all enough - I have my "me" back- which to me is priceless - after the awfull time previously...

Thank you again - if I need anything more done this is where I'm going.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DR. PAUL S. NASSIF, M.D. HIS EXCEPTIONAL SKILLS

"First, I would like to thank Dr. Paul S. Nassif, M.D. for his exceptional skills on my rhinoplasty surgery. The benefit that I received from Dr. Nassif is incredible and I am more than delighted for the decision of choosing him, his staff and the Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery center.

Dr. Nassif continues to be welcoming and amicable which has made my experience extraordinary. As a result of Dr. Nassif’s expertise, I am overwhelmed by the results and my new profile. Dr. Nassif has exceeded my expectations and my results look so natural. Everyone compliments on the result, adding that it looks “perfect”.

The entire procedure went great, there was no pain, or bruising and I only had minimal swelling. My surgery went better than I could have imagined. I would also like to thank Claudia, registered nurse, for her welcomed energy and personality that made my experience memorable and exciting. I would also like to thank Jade Gerard, Patient Care Consultant for her personal testimonial and for help in answering any additional questions that I may have had. Dr. Pierson, the anesthesiologist was very detailed in explaining every step that would take place which actually helped me get some sleep that night. I would also like to thank her for informing my parents (whom were in the waiting room) of my surgery through out my procedure.

I feel that the attention I am receiving for the months following post surgery are just as important as the initial surgery. The Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery staff is very caring and attentive toward detail and making sure that they answer every question.

Dr Nassif and his staff are incredible personable, professional and friendly. I would like to thank everyone for making me feel comfortable, welcomed and for the amazing result.

With thanks,
Lorraine Delgado"

“Now, I love looking at my profile!”

Thank you
Dr. Nassif!

The entire staff here is outstanding. Not only do you take care of the physical aspect of the procedure, but you also show great concern for the mental well-being of your patients. Dr. Amron is very "gifted" and he is an artist at what he does. His entire staff his ezemplary. I was so very nervous. but not one moment of this experience was egative. The entire surgery center rates an "A."

"Dr Nassif,

Thank you for taking your time with me and doing my surgery. It means alot to me and you are very caring!

Lots of love

"I want to express a special thanks to Dr. Paul S. Nassif, M.D.; Dr. Guy G. Massry, M.D.; Dr. Martin L. Gordon, Anesthesiologist; Theresa Akbari, R.N.; Jade Gerard, Patient Care Consultant; and, the staff at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology. In addition, I want to thank Caroline Shrednick and the staff of Tranquility, an outpatient care facility and private retreat, for my post surgery care and recovery following facial plastic surgery.

On September 25, 2006, I had about 9 hours of facial surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery.  This included Rhinoplasty and lower eye fat repositioning with Dr. Paul Nassif; and canthoplasty with Dr. Guy Massry. Results following surgery have been fantastic. I look and feel incredibly great. For the first time in years I can breathe through my nose, smell and taste food, and sleep much better at night. Also, I don’t have to strain to keep my eyes open to watch television, read, or drive. Furthermore, my friends love my new looks and say I look at least ten years younger I have had women tell  me that I look "great, " handsome, " and "beautiful.” Moreover, the flirting is unbelievable, and I have been dating women ten to fifteen years my junior. It’s a dream come true.

My ex-wife had told me about a show called Doctor 90210. One night, while watching an episode of Doctor 90210, I saw an episode featuring Dr. Nassif. I did my research and, after meeting with Dr. Nassif and Dr. Massry, I found them to be the right doctors for me. They took the time to hear what I had to say, and understood my concerns and wishes. They explained the risks and the procedures involved. Moreover, they were concerned with my post surgery care and follow up recovery treatment. Truly, they care.

Sincerely,
Philip"

"Dear Dr Nassif,

Historically, there have been a couple of things in life that I do not look forward too; surgery and secondly a haircut.
This letter is to tell you that because of the positive experience at Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, I’ve been re-thinking the surgery part.

The warmth I received from you and your staff was great, and the final result is fantastic! The process from beginning to end had me feeling well taken care of. I knew I was in great hands.

I recommend that anyone thinking about enhancing their appearance, and enriching their lives relax and know that they are going to be well taken care of by Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.

Now, I’m, off to research and find a good place for a haircut!!!!

Thanks again!

"Dear Dr Nassif,

I’m sorry I didn’t get this to you sooner. I just wanted to thank you and the entire staff for everything that you did for me while preparing for my revision rhinoplasty.  I just want to commend you for the caliber of surgeon that you are! I have never had a doctor spend so much time with me; explaining every aspect of the surgery. You made sure that you understood all of my needs and concerns, and that I understood in detail every part of the surgical process. I have never had a doctor that was so detailed in the pre and post care of surgery. I truly believe that it is what made the difference in my outcome.  I have had previous rhinoplasty surgeries and have never healed too quickly! I do attribute some of that to all the precautionary measures that you took (arnica, platelet gel, oral steroids, etc). And of course your stellar surgical skills that have given me this speedy recovery. I also want to thank your entire staff for their kindness and consideration through what was really quite an ordeal for me. (Dealing with my HMO for several months) Jade was really helpful and patient in explaining your billing process and any questions I had relating to the procedure. And last but no least, please thank your anesthesiologist; Dr. Pierson! I was quite nervous due to the projected length of my surgery (5+ hours). She really put my mind at ease. I had several conversations with her prior to my surgery. She didn’t end any conversation until I was completely satisfied with everything. She was also very comforting the day of surgery. Which I’m sure as you know is very stressful. Again I want to express my gratitude for all the care and concern that you took with me through the entire process! I will recommend you to ANYONE needing any facial plastic surgery, but especially one of the most difficult procedures, Revision Rhinoplasty

You’re the Best
Christine"

January 16, 2007

"My experience with Dr. Nassif was a great one. I came to him for a Rhinoplasty knowing that he specialized in facial plastic surgery and I knew that what I wanted to modify was subtle. So I needed someone who could fulfill my requests. Dr. Nassif knew exactly what I wanted even before I went into detail about it. He even agreed on the very slight shortening of the tip of my nose which no one else but me could notice; but it bothered me. My nose turned out perfectly and I love that no one has noticed. People keep saying something is different; I look so great. Did I loose weight? This procedure has really helped my confidence and I love how I look in pictures now. Before I would dread being photographed.

Dr. Nassif and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and charismatic. I’m so happy with Dr. Nassif’s work and have already recommended him to others."

September 18, 2006

"Dear Dr Nassif,

Thank you for keeping it real with me from the beginning. All of the other doctors I had seen before you were not very warm and caring. But you made me feel like I was not just another number.

I know that most doctors in your line of work including you are very busy. But you still showed that you CARED. I really appreciate that. Thank you for helping me loose the insecurity I had about my nose. I actually feel comfortable in my own skin, especially when I go out.

Your staff was very warm and helpful. Jade helped me feel more at ease with my surgery and answered all of my questions. All of the girls (Jaime, Patricia, Katherine, Claudia, etc.) they were all wonderful. I was confident but still nervous the day of my surgery. You and Dr. Pierson reassured me it would be fine and now I'm so happy that I went through with it. I feel better than I ever did.

Thank you Dr. Nassif and Staff

" It has been nearly three months since my facelift, and I feel beautiful! I can hardly stop looking at myself in the mirror. My friends and family are amazed by how healthy and natural I look. I was recently mistaken for my daughter's sister. Dr. Nassif is a true artist. The surgery was a breeze ( I really think my breast augmentation was more uncomfortable). I had managed to work myself into an anxious mess in anticipation of the process-quite unnecessary. Jade was great during my time of mind numbing fear and even gave me her cell phone number. I scheduled myself for 3 nights at Tranquility as I live outside of the L.A. area. I ended up only using 2 nights of full care and spent the third on my own (at a reduced cost). I'm a bit of a bruiser, but my swelling was very minimal. I was bored to death at home during recovery, so with a little concealer I was back at work in 10 days. Choosing Dr. Nassif was the best decision I could have made. He was very honest about the surgery and the results I could expect ( my results exceeded his prediction). His follow-up is exemplary. Everyone at Spalding Drive was kind, professional, and very careful about my privacy. I must also give a big applaud to my anesthesiologist. She was great. I did not experience any nausea or queasiness. I just had new professional photographs taken and I look happy and refreshed. Dr. Nassif and his team are my team for life. "

June 5 , 2006

"Dear Dr Nassif,

It took Ian and I a year of searching before we found you, yet only about an hour for you to give me the first genuine hope of having a normal nose for years.

I can't adequately put into words how you've changed my life, and a mere 'thank you' just doesn'http://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.com/t express my gratitude for the most amazing revision rhinoplasty that you carried out. For the record, I do thank you most sincerely.

After my first unsuccessful rhinoplasty twenty years ago, and the six further attempts at correction, i had practically given up all hope, but eventually decided if I could find a suitably skilled and experienced surgeon, it would be worth asking their opinion on what was possible. Having scoured the world, I am so thankful that we found you, and it was worth every penny to fly to California just for that consultation, when you created a little light at the end of a dark tunnel for me.

After taking our time over whether to proceed or not, given the complications of my previous surgeries, it was with a mixture of excitement and trepidation that we flew back in for the operation. Throughout the build up Jade and everyone else we spoke to at Spalding Drive were just so brilliant at knowing what I was going through and helping with the admin I definitely wouldn't have made it without them!

When you removed the bandages for the first time post-op I simply could not believe how straight and smooth you had made my nose compared to before, just incredible. I almost didn't want to believe it was that good in case it wasn't there in the morning! Nine months on and everything is going fine. I have a lovely nose that suits my face and every day I get to see your handiwork and it puts a big smile on my face!

You are a brilliant surgeon with an amazing talent, and I really can'/t thank you enough for what you have done for me, you have made my dream come true.

Thank you so much.
Sharon"

"Dr. Nassif,

Thank you for changing my life. This was my third and final nose surgery. I was a synchronized figure skater and broke it a couple times and was ready for a dramatic change. Thank you taking for taking your time (4 hours) and it turned out beautiful! Here a the comment I have received from people. Wow, Are you eyes really that blue? Yes, no colored contacts. And wow your hair looks beautiful. I believed in you and when the bandages came off tears rolled down without even looking into the mirror. I knew the results were going to be AMAZING!! You are a wonderful doctor and my results were natural and that’s what I loved! When I got back from California everyone said I looked well rested. My breathing is improved too!!! I thank Dr. Nassif, from the bottom of my heart. Your work is inspiring and there will never be an end to the effect your love of your work has on the world.

Best Wishes,

"Dr. Nassif and Staff,

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for finally giving me a normal nose. You and your staff are absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!! This being my 3rd rhinoplasty I was very leery about finally getting the last surgeon's mishaps taken care of. Until I met Dr. Nassif who immediately put me at ease and listened to my concerns. Then the actual surgery-WOW!- you did a great job. You truly are gifted and pay attention to details. Thank you for caring. It was a pleasant experience. Your staff at the office and the surgery center are all true professionals as well. All very patient, kind, and good at what they do. I am so thankful that I did my research for a specialized revision rhinoplasty surgeon and found Dr. Nassif and his staff.

Sincerely,

"Dear Dr. Nassif and staff,

You and your staff were very caring and addressed all of my concerns and questions in a professional manner. I felt very comfortable with my decision to have elective surgery with Dr. Nassif from the first consultation I had with him. He was very through and realistic about the outcomes of how my rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedure would improve my breathing and overall appearance.

Initially, I was a little scared about having surgery, but to my surprise there was very little physical pain, and although my surgery was a bit complicated the whole experience was easy for me, and my recovery was fast. I have o surgical scars and I love my profile when I look in a the mirror.

Everyone at the surgery center treated me wonderfully.

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I'm writing this letter to thank you for the incredible job you did on both my nose and chin. I am truly grateful that I found you. I am even happier that I chose you as the surgeon to help me. It wasn't a hard decision. Your wonderful staff made me feel comfortable and confident from the very first consultation. Looking through the pictures of the past patients only made that security and confidence stronger. From the start I knew I didn't want to come out of this experience looking like someone else. I wanted to still look like myself only better. With that in mind I knew that I needed a doctor with an artistic eye that specialized in rhinoplasty who could give me the natural results I was searching for. When I met you, I knew you were that doctor.

Going into surgery, I was pretty nervous. The apprehension was mixed with a lot of excitement. After coming out of surgery, I was very relieved all the pain I imagined I would have wasn't there. I was told the procedure ran over an hurt later than expected because you are a perfectionist, and that nose had to be just right! The days following surgery I found to be the hardest. The trouble I was experiencing wasn't one of a physical nature but an emotional one. All my initial fears about coming out of this experience looking like someone else began to reemerge. I became so consumed with these doubts that I didn't even give myself time to fully heal before making up my mind on whether I liked the results or not.

I had never had any type of surgery before so I really didn't know what to expect other than what I had been told, and naturally I forgot all of that the minute I woke up from the procedure. Things like swelling affect the entire face after surgery. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking to myself Ah! My jaw looks huge. Is my nose going to stay in this strange upward position when the tape comes off? Where did my lips go? There to help me with all the fears I had Jade, Jaime, and the rest of the girls on your amazing staff. They were there to give me first hand experience which was a great relief to me through out the entire experience.

As I write this letter now I am fully healed and recovered. I am also very happy to report that when I look in the mirror I do not see all those fears staring back at me, a nose to small or to short or a chin too large. Instead I see harmony and proportion, something I never had. The lips have also returned I am glad to say! I honestly could not have imagined a better result. Side mirrors are no longer my arch nemesis, and my profile is not a constant source of embarrassment and insecurity any longer. The flaws I've spent years trying to get use to have become the strengths that bring out the positive elements in my face I could never really before fully see or appreciate. My breathing is also much better now which is essential to me as a vocalist. The tone and quality of my voice is the same as before, but the vocal power that comes with breath control has improved and helped me considerably. The best part of all is that I got what I had always wanted. I still look like me, only better. To finally feel comfortable in my own skin is such an amazing feeling, and it is a bit difficult to really express that in words. The best I can do is to give you a heartfelt thank you for what you have done for me. I could not have found a better doctor or better people.

"I was so delighted with the results of the work Dr. Nassif did on my face. Which included a lower face lift and a rhinoplasty. I have received so many compliments. However, since his work is so natural, everyone thinks I just got a new, great haircut that makes me look years younger. Dr. Nassif was so caring and patient with my thousands of questions. He always made me feel that I was very important and my concerns mattered. He is a great doctor and I highly recommend him."

January 2, 2006

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

Thank you so much for helping me through the entire process. I love the new look of my nose. I no longer have to worry about the bump on my nose. You Helped calm my fears by being so personable and making me feel that you were interested in knowing exactly the way I wanted my new nose to look. You made sure we communicated clearly by using your computer technology, looking at pictures of people with nosed I liked, and by showing me what you had in mind. You made sure that I knew exactly the changes you thought would improve my appearance. Your excitement and confidence helped me put my trust in you the day of surgery. I've had a broken nose since I was 9 years old. Now I am 41 years old. I love my new look! I only wish I had had the surgery sooner. It would have saved me 30 years of feeling slightly damaged, inferior, and not pretty enough. Feeling secretly self consious s was a big burden. Now I can live in the present moment !

Thank You

"Dear Dr. Nassif,
I would like to thank you very much for all you have done for me. In the beginning, I was very nervous about getting my surgery done. But you and yowould regret this all but I'm so glad that I don't have to. I have so much confidence than before and life is more enjoyable for ur wonderful staff gave me much courage and helped me throughout my whole experience. At first I thought I me. I didn't want to go through life being self- conscience of my appearance and now I don't have to. Thank you so much for everything.

January 3, 2006

Dear Dr. Nassif,

"I want to thank you for your care and concern that I received from you. From the first day that I stepped into your office your staff treated me with respect and were very cordial. They are a very professional yet friendly staff. When all the surgical procedures were explained to me it made me feel very comfortable. In doing so I was able to relax going into my surgery.

Dr. Nassif, I felt very confident in your expertise in performing such a delicate surgery of repositioning lower fat under my eyes. The recovery of my surgery was without any complication. This was due to your good preparatory care prior to the surgery.
The results of my eye surgery were everything that I was expecting it to be and what you had predicted it to be. I am extremely delighted with my new appearance and the removal of the bags from under my eyes. It has given me that fresh and youthful look that I had years ago.

My family are satisfied with the outcome of my surgery and close friends admire my fresh look and wonder what I have done to look so good. I am very happy!!!!! Once more I am very pleased!!!

Thank you!!!

Very Sincerely,
Your patient

"I've been meaning to send you this note for quite some time, but I wanted to express my outmost gratitude for your services. I'm thrilled with the results of my surgery. I'm sure you hear all the time, but you've changed my life. I have so much more confidence and am proud to look in the mirror and see such wonderful results. Not to mention that I love what I see on camera and in pictures!

Thank you,

"Dear Dr Nassif,

I have had the privilege of being your Patient Care Consultant since 2004. I quickly realized that your reputation and perfection of work, was indeed, beautiful. I got to see the transformation of many lives. I became one of the lives you touched and changed.

My ears and nose were far too big for my liking; I had never felt attractive and never wore my hair up. I'm 32 years old!

I now have the confidence to be proud of my profile. I look straight ahead when I drive. My husband is happy about that!!!! You have given me a dream I thought would never come true. Growing up in England one doesn't think it's a possibility. Perhaps, meant only for the rich and famous.

The best part about your work is your artistic ability - to give a natural looking nose that suits one's face.

I will treasure your work for the rest of my life. You have given me the strength to feel good about myself. You have freed me from my terrible insecurities and I thank you very much for it.

The nurses Dayana, Theresa and Mia were the absolute "Best"

Dr Pierson, my anesthesiologist, a very caring woman made me feel I was part of her family. The experience from employee to patient was of extreme importance. I got to see how they work and deal with patient's. This makes my job much easier. I know our patients are very well taken care of.

With compliments,
Jade Gerard"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I work as a receptionist for a surgeon who specializes in and is a master at rhinoplasty. It is my pride and privilege to work for you. Every day your work continues to amaze me.

I had always been insecure about my appearance due to the size and profile of my nose. Before my surgery, when I looked in the mirror or saw a picture of myself, all I could see was my nose. I had put much thought into getting rhinoplasty/ septoplasty surgery for years but was worried about not choosing the right doctor or how painful this procedure could be. Until I worked for you. I got to see patients the day after having rhinoplasty surgery. They would come smiling with absolutely no pain. That gave me so much confidence in your work. I realized that the person who could change my insecurities was right in front of me.

I consulted with you and realized that not only did I want to change the appearance of my nose and that I also had a deviated septum and you could fix my breathing problems. You did the morphing on the computer. My eyes welled up with tears of joy at seeing the amazing change rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty would do to my face.

And, of course, me.

The day of my surgery I was very comfortable and confident. My nurses (Dayana and Ann) and anesthesiologist (Dr. Pierson) soothed me and calmed my fears. I could not thank everyone enough for making that day come together so perfectly for me. When I woke up from my surgery, you told me immediately how perfect my nose looked. I remember being so excited and gave him a thumbs up! I wouldn't expect any less coming from such a perfectionist.

Thank you very much for changing my life, Dr. Nassif. You are truly amazing and bring a smile to my face every day. My new nose looks identical to the photo imaging you did and I can breathe so much better now. I am very thankful and at peace in knowing that I chose the best for my first and only rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty.

Sincerely,
Jaime Bangerter"

December 1, 2005

I am deeply honored that you were my Doctor... I knew from the moment I walked in your office that you would be the one that would help me achieve on of my dreams. Being one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made, you made it easy for me. I am so happy with my nose!! It's made a world of difference in my life! I have this new confidence, and the will to do it all! It's amazing to see what feeling good about yourself can do for us! Not to mention how many people I'm attracting!!!! Ha-Ha!!! In all seriousness, I'm feeling confident, strong, smart, and very, very PRETTY!!!! This in one of my favorite comments I've heard so far: "You were beautiful before....But now... you are HOT!!!"

Thank you Dr. Nassif!
Love, Priscilla"

"Then and Now

I could never understand what it meant to be in the MOMENT.

I could never understand when people said they were at peace with themselves.

I never understood how you can look in the mirror and love yourself, until this moment.

I want to take a moment to tell you how I reached this moment in time and to THANK all of you
that, were involved in getting me to the PEACE I feel everyday NOW.

Nine months ago I received a quick phone-call from my sister Caroline.
"Are you still wanting to have a new nose and your teeth fixed?”
"Of course,” I replied,
"Can you send some profile and full face shots as quickly as possible to Lisa Greene at Spalding Cosmetic Surgery.”
"Why the rush?”
A British T.V. company are looking to film an English person coming to Beverly Hills for surgery.

"Not me” I replied they won’t want me! ".
You know I still can’t believe it was my time in life to receive something good. Only now on reflection I realise how lucky I was and how much I must be loved to be given the GIFT.

Little did I know that that phone call would send me on a magic carpet ride and catapult me from the
Unknown to the Known and I would have such an amazing transformation.

From one small word, "Yes” came a transitional period during which I still did not believe that it would happen. Not to me, the person where nothing ever happens and the dreams of childhood never came to fruition. Not to me who lost her much loved father too early and then my husband. NOT to me who has brought up two beautiful daughters on my own and worked for 30 years full time as a teacher. These amazing things don’t happen to someone real.

I think this is why it has taken so long to write this testimonial. It was all so fast and exciting at first, then, came the trauma of surgery. Next the leaving of California and the protection you all gave me and treated me as a princess.

Finally came the hardest part. No, not the healing which was difficult in a way, but, re-entering into the world of work where I had to face my demons. The jealous ones, who ignored me and wouldn’t look! The angry ones who wished I would disappear or go back to USA.

The colleagues. who wanted me to slip back into work as if nothing had happened and finally me, who pushed out all the stops. I went back to full time teaching immediately, still coping with the healing and worked my socks off to compensate for the time I had been given off.

I was bereft of my old face. I was missing the attention and being the centre of peoples’ worlds. I missed the buzz of being filmed and TV and tried to keep the Radio interviews and newspapers alive.

But in the end no one wanted to hear or see. Not my face, but I wanted to promote you all and the brilliant work you did but no one wanted to listen.

But months on and all that is forgotten and they act as if nothing ever happened. They have now forgotten that I was ever Fran with a different face.
I don’t think my children remember the old one until I show them the pictures.

I have finally reached the moment myself when I don’t look in the mirror and have a shock. I now look and recognise myself and feel pretty. The swellings are nearly all gone and all the skin and outermost parts have full feeling.

Now I like what reflects at me. Now I realise who is in front of me. Now I feel younger and prettier.

Was this unusual I don’t think so. There were so many changes, subtle, but still different and for some of us it takes a longer time to come to terms with change.

So Now I can say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Now I can look and admire my profiles in the mirror and love what I see and not feel that a stranger is staring at me.

Now I can thank you for giving me the GIFT to love myself and feel truly at ease, beautiful and at peace with myself.

I now have the opportunity to start life again in a way at 51. Now I feel I can accomplish all the tasks I have before me with confidence. Each week I am receiving more opportunities to be out in the public eye and am much more sociable with people I don’t know very well. I can stand in front of large groups of people and talk and lecture without wondering what they can see.
I am going to audition for a local group and take part in a show. The first in fifteen years! I said I will sing again in public a year from surgery and it looks like this will happen November 9th. So it will happen.

I have enjoyed a few evenings out with younger friends and did not feel or look out of place. Many of the 30 ‘somethings’ look older than me.

As I said at my reveal, you are DR NASSIF, A TRUE MASTER OF YOUR CRAFT AND YOU HAVE CREATED A WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE. It just took time for it to mature and be appreciated for its subtle beauty.
Thank you for the long 12 hours you spent on my face, it was all worth it.

I feel beautiful at LAST. I am TRULY HAPPY with my new visage and live each day for the
MOMENT, with new expectations and a calm, internal CONFIDENCE.

I am grateful to you and all your team at Spalding for everything you all did to ensure my safety and well-being at all times and for the love you all showed.

I miss you all and wish I could be with you in the flesh.

Thank -you for giving me the GIFT.

Much love to you all"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful results of my face surgery. I'm glad I chose you to be part of a major change in my life. I have also received lots of compliments about my new fresh look and all that has given me more confidence. My self esteem has improved 100% and best of all I no longer have to worry about makeup in the mornings.

There is not a day that goes bye that I'm not thankful for finding your practice. I feel reborn and ready to start a new life. I feel full of energy and very positive. On the other hand your staff was very understanding and caring through out the whole procedure.

With warmest regards,

Fanny Brown"

Ioana

Dr. Nassif successfully performed one of the most difficult plastic surgeries - reconstructing another doctor's rhinoplasty. Dr. Nassif saved actress Ioana Ionescu's career by giving her the nose she dreamed about. Her story was featured on the TV show Entertainment Tonight. View a video of this procedure. dial-up | broadband You can read more about Ioana in our photo gallery.

"I am writing you this letter to thank you for all that you've done for me. I am an actress and my appearance has always been important to me. Unfortunately, three years ago all my dreams were shattered when I went to get my nose made a little smaller. The rhinoplasty went terribly wrong and I was left with a disfigured nose. For three long years I was physically and emotionally broken.

"I was embarrassed to leave my house let alone work. I thought my life was over. I began looking for a doctor who could or would reconstruct my nose. My nose was so bad that most plastic surgeons turned me away. Then about a year ago my mother saw you on Discovery Health. She told me to find out where you were and go see you. Finally, I got your number and made an appointment.

"My first visit was bittersweet. I was told you can reconstruct my nose but that it wouldn't be easy. You explained all that needed to be done and that cartilage would be taken from my ear to build up the non-existent bridge. Although I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park I was ready to get my life back on track. I am a very spiritual person and I prayed about you and God spoke to my heart and told me I was in good hands.

"So the next step was surgery. After the surgery I felt great and the healing process was one hundred times better and faster than I thought it would be. I had almost no pain, my ear was a little sore but that was it. I had very minimal bruising and swelling and it only lasted one week. When the cast came off I saw a new nose and it was beautiful. I was more than satisfied. I was thrilled.

"Dr. Nassif, you, Eve and all your staff are the best. I thank everyone in your office, they were all part of this wonderful experience. I truly feel like my life is back to normal again and I have you to thank for. I am now sure that God led me to you and I am so thankful that he did. This has been a true miracle in my life and you and your staff are my angels."

Sincerely,
Ioana Ionescu

My experience of my pre-op and post surgery was amazing.

Dr. Nassif and Lisa Greene were great with answering my questions I had at the beginning of my journey. I went to many doctors in the beginning, trying to find the one I liked. Dr. Nassif made me feel comfortable and safe.

The day of the surgery went smoothly, and after the surgery, the staff was great and very helpful.

The post-surgery meetings were good. I love the outcome of my nose. It is exactly what I hoped for.

I would see Dr. Nassif again and would tell my family/friends about him.

Thank you Dr. Nassif, I am very happy with my new nose.

"I was a bit apprehensive about having cosmetic plastic surgery done on my nose. However, I was put very much at ease after meeting with Dr. Nassif and his Patient Care Coordinator, Lisa Greene.

"Both Ms. Greene and Dr. Nassif advised me that most likely there would be very little and possibly no pain as a result of this medical procedure as long as I followed the instructions given to me. Dr. Nassif provided me with literature pertaining to all aspects of the surgery.

"The surgery went well and I had no pain during the surgery and I also had no pain the days following the surgery. The only discomfort I experienced was insertion of the IV prior to surgery. I followed all instructions given to me by Dr. Nassif.

"Now four months later I am very pleased with the results of the surgery. I love to look at the profile of my nose from time to time and wonder why I didn't have this procedure done sooner.

"I can't say enough about the Spaulding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology staff, especially Dr. Nassif and Ms. Greene. They answered all my questions and always seemed confident in what they are doing. Most importantly, the results were very good."

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

"I don't know where to begin to thank you and your amazing staff for the absolutely stellar work you performed. Like an artist with a fine brush precisely feathering out the imperfections. It's only been a week and people are complimenting the way I look. I have had several prior surgeries, not to my liking, and came to you for revision rhinoplasty, eyes, wrinkles, lip augmentation, etc. I was half hopeful that the job would be done at best "ok". I had lost my hope in having the "perfect procedure". I was not aware that I would LOVE the work. YOU ARE THE BEST! There is a book out called The Best Doctors in America and I am sure you are one of them, if not I would like to recommend you for the list.

"From the minute I walked through the door your friendly staff set my nerves at ease. It was more like speaking with good-friends. They were kind, courteous and able to answer all of my questions. Even the operating room experience and recovery process was unremarkable. For the first time in my life I had no nausea from the anesthesia or any other complications.  What a superior team you have put together. It almost seems too good to be true, but it is, WOW! YOU ARE THE BEST! I feel fortunate that I found you and your caring staff. My self-confidence level has soared. I am a patient for life....HOOK LINE AND SINKER!!!!!!!!!!

"Please extend my thanks to your staff. I am beyond "thrilled" with the results!"

Sincerely,

"My Dearest Dr. Nassif,

"It is with greatest pleasure and gratitude that I write you this note today. It has been approximately three months since my cosmetic surgery. Specifically - browlift, mid face lift, upper blepharoplasty, rhytidoplasty and chin implant, and I could not be happier or more thrilled with the results.

"From the onset of my first visit to your office - I felt confident and knew that I needed to look no further. Any doubts, reservations, and/or fears on my part quickly disappeared. With each of my interactions with your office - be it written, by telephone, or in-person, my confidence and feeling of well being only intensified. What I was so struck by then and still now is the genuine warmth, care and personal interest given to me by both you and every member of your staff.

"Having always been a woman who prided herself in her appearance, there came the day that I knew that the option of cosmetic surgery would have to be explored. While I felt young and vibrant inside - my appearance in the mirror said something different. I struggled with the question - "Is it vanity?" but quickly knew in my heart of hearts - "No. not at all." Moreover, the issue was allowing myself to be the very best - both inside and out - that I could be. These are extraordinary times that we live in and we are blessed to be a part of them. There should be no shame in caring enough about yourself to look and feel you very best - the shame would be - not caring enough to allow yourself to do so.

"As for the surgery itself, my experience was that more than anything it was a "temporary inconvenience" to my normal lifestyle; I was forced to slow down for a brief two to three weeks. Looking back however, it seems unimaginable to me that such a short time ago I underwent major cosmetic surgery. I am proud to say that I look and feel great. And the beauty of it is that I look very natural. I do not have that "stretched plastic look" that unfortunately is all to often seen after cosmetic surgery - particularly - with a face lift.

"In closing - to those of you who may follow - know that if you are reading this testimonial you are fortunate to have found an extremely nurturing, supportive. Skilled, and professional environment - THE VERY BEST. My wish for you - that your journey be blessed just as mine."

Sincerely,

APH

"My Dearest Dr. Amron,

"It is with sincere thanks and appreciation that I write you today. It has been approximately four months since my liposuction procedures. Specifically - upper arms and upper inner thighs, and I am extremely happy and satisfied with the results.

"From the time of my initial consultation I knew that I was in the best hands for my "body sculpting." You are truly an expert and the best in your field and I - blessed to be placed in your hands. I believe that testament to your abilities were exhibited in "no recovery time required", as well as - "little to no bruising." It was an incredible experience and left me and those around me in awe.

"I had reached the point in my life that no matter how vigorously I exercised and/or focused on my problem areas - there was no change to be made or seen. You, however - changed that with your skilled liposuction technique. Thanks to you - I am now evenly proportioned to my given size and ecstatic at he reality.

"Special thanks to each and every member of your office staff - they are an amazing team.

"Thanks for all,"

"It is my pleasure to write a testimonial regarding my experience with Dr. Nassif and his staff. I truly feel blessed that I had the opportunity to undergo my rhinoplasty at the skilled hands of Dr. Nassif. HE IS A GENIUS!

"I felt comfortable at Spalding Drive from the beginning. Both Sony and Dr. Nassif spent a great deal of time with my mother and I during my first consultation. After my initial consultation, I think I must have e-mailed Sonya a million times and she answered every single one of them. (Thank you Sony!) I did have two other consultations but when I had to make my final decision it all came down to having complete confidence in Dr. Nassif. Not only did I know he would be able to give me the nose that God forgot to but I also felt that no other surgeon and no other staff would take care of me as they would. And I was right. Everyone at Spalding Drive is courteous, friendly, patient, and nice.

"I would recommend Dr. Nassif for rhinoplasty to anyone who is interested in the surgery. If I were you I would not even bother with other consultations. He is the BEST! J

"Sonya called me the day before my surgery and I asked her to wish me luck; however she said that she never wishes Dr. Nassif's patients luck because they do not need it. She did say that she wished me the very best. Now I know why she said it. You truly do not need luck with Dr. Nassif. He is capable of giving you the nose you want; as he sys, just let him "rock and roll" during surgery. I guarantee you will be thrilled. I am absolutely ecstatic and it has only been seventeen (17) days since my surgery!

"I should also say that my surgery nurses (Dayana and Christine) were amazing. They took such great care of me. Also Dr. Pearson (I'm not sure of her spelling?), my anesthesiologist, was hilarious and calmed me down with her phone call the night before my surgery. As stated earlier, everyone at Spalding Drive is amazing!

"Oh, I almost forgot!! The whole procedure was completely painless for me. I know everyone heals differently, but I did not even have to take Tylenol. I strongly recommend that platelet gel procedure as well; no one could believe how quickly my swelling and bruising healed. I know you will be absolutely thrilled with your results if you go to Dr. Nassif.

"Thank you soooooooooo much for my new nose Dr. Nassif!! It is exactly as you said it would be!! It is beautiful and no one can tell that I have had surgery. Thank you! Thank you!"

Respectfully,

H.M.

Trina

Her facial makeover included the Anti-gravity midface lift, lower face and neck lift, endoscopic browlift, upper eye lift and rhinoplasty. Platelet gel was also used. You can see more pictures of Trina in our photo gallery.

"How do you say thank you for that once in a lifetime chance to transform from a matron to a vital woman?

"I had not aged in a positive way and after ending a very difficult 23yr marriage I looked in the mirror to see a 48yr old woman who needed to change completely in body and spirit.

"For the next 3 yrs I laid the foundation, researching and interviewing doctors determined to find the perfect doctor for me. Credentials, professional history, and published research documents all repeatedly led to Dr. Nassif. And when I entered Dr. Nassif's office I knew I'd found exactly what I was looking for. The professional atmosphere was a given but it was the sincerity of the entire office staff from the Doctor to the Esthetician that was the icing on the cake. Their warm and caring attitude was incomparable to any facility I'd considered. Dignity and respect were foremost leading to a comfort level which has allowed me to be confident that my inquiries would be addressed in a manner which was not uncomfortable or condescending.

"As for my procedure, simply put I had my entire face done. My forehead, eyes, nose, mid-face and neck were redesigned so that my physical being is now completely in line with the way I feel emotionally and mentally. If you look at my "Before" photos you'll agree that I no longer look like my grandmother.

"During the process I did get frustrated. After a mere 4 weeks I was discouraged but a wonderful office staff encouraged me to simply be patient! Trusting in their experience, listening to and following their every instruction I stayed with the diet restrictions, used the products religiously and the result is an amazing difference.

"I took advantage of the ultra sound treatments offered by Sara, the esthetician. As predicted my swelling and bruising was minimal but did last longer than I had personally anticipated. The treatments, along with her exceptionally gentle touch, yielded unbelievably positive results 2 weeks later.

"While it's not easy to describe the tremendous positive impact the surgery has made on my life I can say that my self confidence has improved 100%. I truly cannot give enough thanks to Dr. Nassif and his staff for starting a new chapter in my life that begins with a most wonderful physical transformation!"

"Dear Dr. Nassif,

"It has been less than one month since my surgery ( Sept. 24, 2003 ). As each day passes, I am more thrilled with the results. Actually, I was excited after only one week when I went back to work looking and feeling like I hadn't just had major surgery. I was told I'd be amazed at how rapid my healing would be but it truly was and continues to be the speediest process I could have imagined. After just two weeks, I was shopping without makeup on and no one - not even people I knew - could tell I had anything "done."

"It has been a great journey - from the time of my consultation with you where we both agreed I was an ideal candidate for a mini lower facelift, an upper eye blepharoplasty and a lower eye skin pinch - to very shortly when I will have my one month (plus one week or so) check-up during which my "after pictures" will be taken - although I really don't need to see them since I have followed my progress on a daily basis since the day before my surgery using my digital camera and my computer.

"The difference in my neck and my eyes has far exceeded my expectations. My friends think I look amazing and very VERY natural - as do I . And I'm happy I don't have to spend another winter hiding my "chicken neck" under bulky sweaters. A short story; I used to hate standing in line at Bank of America where they have an unflattering camera pointed to the next customer in line and a big monitor for all the world to see; I hated this camera because I always looked so haggard in the monitor - I had even complained to the bank about their "bad lighting." A week ago, I stood in the same line at the same bank I always go to and glanced at the monitor - not thinking really - and I was so happy to see how fresh and youthful I looked. Than you!!!!

"I am so grateful for your skill, for the artistry, and for your precision as a surgeon, as well as for your being an extraordinarily caring and communicative physician and human being. You're simply the best and your team is exceptional. Special thanks to Dr. Pam Pierson, my anesthesiologist, to your surgical crew, and to Sony Pasamonte for holding my hand throughout the entire process and to Lisa Greene for introducing you."

Very sincerely yours,

J.R.

"Dear Dr. Nassif and Staff,

"I would like to take a few minutes to describe my experience with your office and express how much I appreciate everything you've done for me. My experience was as follows:

"During my first visit with Dr. Nassif and his staff, I knew that this was the surgery center that I wanted to perform my procedure. My first visit was with Eve. She was so thorough and friendly. She answered every one of my questions and she was very knowledgeable about all the procedures I was interested in. She was also very compassionate. It was like being there with a friend who really cared about what was going on. During the same day, I met with Dr. Nassif, who was also one of the nicest doctors I had ever met. I told him what I was looking for and he gave me the information I needed to make my decision. During that first consultation, I spent about two hours getting my questions answered. How many doctors spend that kind of time with a perspective client?

"I made my decision to have my procedures done and was scheduled a pre-op appointment to get all of my paperwork cleared up and to get any final questions answered. I had decided on a lower facelift, anti-gravity lift and to have the circles under my eyes smoothed out. Dr. Nassif was taking the photos when he noticed that my brows were slightly droopy as well. He informed me at the time that he could to a temporal brow lift without any additional incisions and that afterward I would look like I do when I have my hair wrapped in a towel. I knew exactly what he was talking about and decided to do that procedure as well.

"The night before my surgery, Dr. Nassif and Dr. Peterson, the anesthesiologist, call me to answer any last minute questions. They put my mind at ease. On the day of my surgery, I was nervous. I got to the office and was greeted by Theresa. I met many other people that morning as well, but can't remember all the names. I met Dr. Peterson and was immediately comforted by her presence and I felt everything would be ok.

"After the surgery, I spent a few days at Tranquility Respite Care Center for recovery. While I was there, both Dr. Nassif and Dr. Peterson came by to make sure I was ok. I had never had a doctor come and check up on me before, much less two doctors. My visit with the respite care center was wonderful. Caroline Shrednick and her staff took very good care of me and I will be forever grateful for that.

"During my follow-up visits to Dr. Nassif's office, I have been treated like family. I feel like I know everyone in the staff and they are just wonderful.

"Dr. Nassif has surrounded himself with the most compassionate and caring staff I have ever encountered and each and every one of them are very professional. I enjoy coming back to see them.

"I am very happy with the results and everyone tells me how good I look. I look in the mirror and see a youthful looking, more rested me. I am thinking about liposuction and I will definitely come back to Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery for that procedure as well.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't express how much I appreciate everything you've done for me at this office.

"One very happy patient."

"May 1, 2003

"I have been extremely pleased with my facelift performed by Dr. Paul Nassif.

"As a man nearing age 60, I was becoming progressively unhappy with the hanging skin on my neck (the well-known "turkey neck") but debated doing anything about it since men typically "live with these things". Despite being 59, I felt young and looked good, with the chief exception of my neck. I finally reached a point of giving the lower facelift serious consideration.

"I was aware of Dr. Nassif's excellent track record and reputation for attention to details and natural results. After an initial consultation, I was impressed with his demeanor, confidence and assessment of my particular situation. Dr. Nassif's patient care coordinator, Lisa Greene, was extremely helpful in explaining all facets of the process and giving me a really good feeling about the whole thing. She was very knowledgeable and caring, and truly complemented the doctor in giving me a total understanding to what I was about to do.

"Dr. Nassif felt I was an excellent candidate for this procedure and carefully explained how he would perform it, and what the results would look like. His approach made me feel very upbeat about the process and gave me the confidence to "go for it".

"The Surgery its self went very successfully. As I had been informed ahead of time, I felt a modest amount of discomfort for a couple of days, but really no pain at all. My recovery went quite rapidly & smoothly.

"The healing process has really been amazing. Everyone marvels at the near invisibility of the incision lines along my ears. I'm sure this is the result of Dr. Nassif's extraordinary care in suturing the virtually invisible result. The other aspect of my "new" neck that is worth mentioning is how "natural" it looks. Dr. Nassif prides himself on achieving natural, non-extreme results, and that is what I got! People who don't know I've had this facelift can't tell it's a facelift; they just know I look better, fresher, younger, somehow. I feel great and look great.

"I would be remiss if I didn't mention the good work of the Spalding Drive staff and patient care coordinator. They were all consistently friendly, helpful, and supportive. This has continued through my several post-op visits to the office, as well.

"Over all, I am extremely pleased, and would wholeheartedly endorse Spalding Drive to friends and colleagues considering cosmetic surgery."

Best regards,

R.A.S.

"My Rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Nassif and his staff could not have been better! I had wanted surgery on my nose for a long time but I didn't know exactly how I wanted my nose to look just different. My doubts were vanished during consultations with Dr. Nassif.

"The computer generated picture that demonstrated what I would look like after surgery ensured me that I would love the results. The way Dr. Nassif explained to me what exactly would be done was totally comforting.

"My comfort ableness was only enhanced the day of the surgery. The nurses were incredibly available and funny, and their personalities lightened the tense pre-surgery atmosphere. Not only were they friendly, but also willing and ready to answer any questions my family or I had. They even answered late night freaking out phone calls.

"It has been ten weeks since my surgery and I still feel confident enough to count on Dr. Nassif for anything. AND I love my nose!"

"Dr. Nassif,

"I would again like to thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job at giving my nose a smoother and more even appearance

"After going through surgery to fix my septum and uneven appearance of my nose by other doctors in the past, I don't think other doctors wanted to attempt the final surgery that was necessary to achieve the look I wanted.

"I have let this issue bother me for two years. There was something about you that told me I should trust you, your judgment, and your gifted talent. I truly appreciate how honest and open you were to me, with your opinion on what I should do and the risk. However, your confidence shined through and allowed me to forget about the risk.

"I am very grateful that you did my surgery and that it turned out so well. I only wish I would have known about you yeas ago. I think you are extremely gifted and work extremely well with people. Many people don't have both qualities. I must also say that your staff is amazing. There is a true sincerity at your operation.

"Thank you again for everything for working around my complicated schedule at such short notice."

Best Regards,

"I finally have the nose that is well proportioned and suited for my face without looking like I have had any type of surgery. I am very happy and would recommend Dr. Nassif to anybody who has been contemplating facial surgery. He is a skilled and detailed surgeon."

"To Whom It May Concern:

"It's been just over two months since I had surgery. The result? I could not be happier. Take a look at the before and after pic and you tell me what you think. I looked good before the surgery and not once since has anyone noticed that I had any cosmetic surgery done. But, almost everyday I hear things like, "you look really great..." did you lose weight?" I actually probably gained a few pounds.

"Dr. Nassif really did a great job...a job no one notices was done, but I can see it and really see it in the before and after pictures. I think it's really important to feel good about the doctor performing the surgery and the office as well. I really love going to my follow up appointments. From the minute I stepped in the office I felt a great positive energy and a real loving atmosphere. I honestly believe that you could not pick a better doctor or a better office."

Sincerely,

"The first time I met Dr. Nassif I became very excited at the prospect of correcting my crooked nose. His professionalism, medical advice and demeanor made me feel more at ease and that I could trust in him. Dr. Nassif's confidence convinced me that going through with my corrective surgery was the right choice.

"I had been counting the minutes, hours and days until that fateful day of my surgery. The healing process was swift and by following the doctor's instruction my nose healed wonderfully and with the best results.

"The procedure looked to natural that none of my family or friends knew I even had cosmetic surgery. The support staff in the office was always pleasant & courteous. I would recommend Dr. Nassif to anyone interested in any kind of cosmetic surgery. I wish him much luck & success in all his future endeavors!"

My results...I am thrilled with. I am so glad that I chose this place for my procedure I am glad that I chose Dr. Nassif because he is really very good at achieving beautiful, natural results.

"Eve was also extremely helpful. She was always there... A phone call away if I had any concerns or questions and made sure I was completely informed at all times. She encouraged me to feel good about my choices, which was great as well. The staff including nurse are so fun! They are friendly and funny, as is Dr. Nassif!!! And Eve as well. This made my visits quite fun as well. I highly recommend this center for anyone."

"Dear Dr. Amron & Staff,

"I first heard of mini liposuction from Jillian Barbery at channel 11 Good Day LA and I thought how could they do lip without putting you to sleep? But it sounded so good I had to look into it

"From the moment I called for a consultation I felt extremely comfortable with Eve taking me through some of the process over the phone and telling me how good your work on Lipo surgery was. When I walked into your office your staff was very pleasant and I immediately felt very important. I told Eve I've always had large thighs and a pouch on my stomach, she showed me some photos of before and after surgeries you had performed. I was starting to get more excited about meeting you and to see what you would be recommending for me.

"When you told me I was a good candidate for the procedure I couldn't wait for our start date, I had been waiting for many years to do this. The process took a little long that day going back into Eve to make the necessary arrangements that Eve gave me a wonderful gift certificate for another area your facility specializes in, facials. It was a very nice gift and I appreciated it very much.

"Well the day finally came and the procedure went just like you said it would. My recovery was only uncomfortable for the first twenty-four hours but as I moved around each day I felt better and all I needed was a few Tylenol the first couple of days. I started walking within the second day and increased to two miles by the second week. I now get on my stationary bike almost every morning and I walk more often than ever before, roller blade about once a week and go on hikes whenever possible.

"Now just Eight weeks later I look and feel so much better because of my new way of life and your expertise on Liposuction surgery. Thank you so much and I'll see you in a few months for my stomach I wish it were next week!"

Sincerely,

E.A.

"I had an accident and injured my nose, the plastic surgeon that saw me and fixed me up made a mess of my nose, it would collapse when I would try to breathe, my tip was hanging, my left nostril was sewn up on one side, my tip was hanging because the surgeon left out cartilage, I couldn't breathe with my mouth closed because of my nostril collapsing. My chin implant that was done was not straight and looked awful.

"I did not want this surgeon to do any repairs because of all the damage that was done, that I didn't have before surgery, so I went looking for another surgeon. I found Dr. Nassif and had him go over everything with me and do the surgery. Dr. Nassif took cartilage form my ear and filled in the sewn up nostril, put cartilage to pull my tip back up and cartilage on the insides of my nose to pull them out so they wouldn't collapse when I would breathe, I can breathe with my mouth closed now and my tip looks great. Dr. Nassif put in a different chin.

"Implant, it is straight and looks good. Dr. Nassif did an excellent job with all the damage that was done from the other plastic surgeon. I recommend his work."

"Hello!

"I am writing to thank you for the magnificent job you did when I had my eyes and chin done in June of this year. I could not have imagined what a change it would make in my life. For my whole life I felt really conscious of not having a noticeable chin, and also to compound that problem, I also had a double chin. There was never a time I would not be freaked out by it, especially in photographs, where it was so apparent I could just die. For someone who was always considered pretty, I never felt like it.

"Also, I very unluckily inherited my mother's hooded eyes. This made me look tired and mad all the time. Again, something I had had from birth and bothered me every day. It seems petty to feel so self-conscious about your looks, but let's face it, there are babes all over this city, and we see them and measure ourselves against that ideal of beauty. It's not that I don't have self-confidence. Its just I KNEW the things that bothered me could be fixed. So when I had the money. I went to see you.

"I cannot tell you how wonderful my experience was. All the girls in the office were great. Eve was great, and Dr. Amron and you were both great. I was informed on every single level, health wise, appearance wise and of any complications I could have after the surgery. At no point did I have any questions about what was going to happen to me. I was very nervous and started to think about other ways I could have spent the money. I knew if I didn't do it then, I never would.

"The results of the surgery are AMAZING. My eyes are open and bright, and I have a profile after 35 years of being chinless. I feel so great, I started wearing makeup and feeling better than ever I am not afraid of cameras and don't feel nauseous when I see a photo of myself. If anyone would have told me how much my life would change simply because I looked so much better I would not have believed them. Every day I look in the mirror and thank you for making me beautiful. I have no regrets, and look forward to aging gracefully, instead of how my mom did, tired looking and old. I don't think I could have trusted anyone else with my face, I felt so comfortable with you and Eve. You made me understand that with the surgery I could have the face I'd always knew I could have. And you didn't dish out any snobby Beverly Hills crap either, which was very refreshing. I got EXACTLY what I wanted from a wonderfully talented doctor.

"After the surgery I got a new, better job and a new, better boyfriend. My self-esteem has been raised and I no longer feel like hiding my face. I would never had believed this all could be the result of having a beautiful face. My only regret is I didn't do it earlier."

"I had been uncomfortable with aging since I turned 40. This year, at 45, I decided to do something drastic about it. I made an appointment with my Dermatologist's partner, Dr. Paul Nassif for a consultation. I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

"The consultation was in two parts. The first, with Dr. Nassif was the technical part. He did the obligatory, "You're aging very well but if you want to freshen up a little..." and showed me the procedures that could be done and what each would do to my face. I felt completely at ease even though the conversation included words like jowls, hollowed out eyes, and wrinkles.

"The second part of the consultation was with Lisa Greene and this was a Godsend. The first and I think most important thing she asked me as if I expected the surgery to change my life, i.e. did I have irrational expectations. I said, "No, I just wanted to erase some of the aging." Then, she talked about each procedure and the recovery time. She explained that Dr. Nassif is very proactive to minimize the recovery and therefore they use a two pronged approach with both traditional western medicine and homeopathic medicine. She said that as the patient, I needed to make the commitment to my recovery by preparing for the surgery a few weeks before the scheduled date. She answered all my questions and by the time I left her office, I knew what to expect. I also had her cell phone number so if anything came up; I could get in touch with her. It was almost like going through it with someone.

"I'm afraid I can't really say too much about the surgery, itself. I had a brow lift, a mid-face lift, had at put under my eyes, and had some work done on my neck. However, the day of the surgery the last thing I remember is the Anesthesiologist asking me if I want a marguerite. Nine hours later I woke up and was taken to an overnight hospital.

They suggested that I avoid the mirror for several days and I took that advice. By the time I looked at my face, a few days later I could see that although I was very bruised and swollen, a lot of the lines were gone. Everything that came up, I was prepared for. I knew that the incisions would hurt for a couple of weeks. I knew that my brow would come down about 25%. I knew that it would be several weeks before the bruises would heal. And, I knew that my face was going to look great.

"I am a slow healer so it took almost 2 months for all the bruises to go away on my face. It also took close to 3 months for all the swelling to go down in my cheeks. For a few weeks, after most of the bruises had healed under my eyes, there continued to be a discoloration. I had gone to Beverly to have help with the lymph drainage. Ever time something was not healing properly, Dr. Nassif had a solution. Some hurt, like the V-beam, some didn't but they all played into the process of my recovery.

"My neck did not turn out quite the way Dr. Nassif and I had hoped. He was very honest with me starting with the fact that he is a perfectionist. He said to get m neck perfect it would take another surgery. I respect the honesty.

"I think anyone who is thinking about plastic surgery is pondering something very emotional. Our faces are what the world sees of us and to take a risk to change it can be scary. With Dr. Nassif, Eve, and the entire staff I felt like I wasn't taking that risk alone and that I was doing the right thing. Four and a half months later, I know I did the right thing and I am very grateful to everyone in that office."

"How do you say thank you for the once in a lifetime chance to transform from a matron to a vital woman?

"I had not aged in a positive way and after ending a very difficult 23 year marriage I looked in the mirror to see a 48 year old woman who needed to change completely in body and spirit.

"For the next 3 years I laid the foundation, researching and interviewing doctors determined to find the perfect doctor for me. Credentials, professional history, and published research documents all repeatedly led to Dr. Nassif. And when I entered Dr. Nassif's office I knew I'd found exactly what I was looking for. The professional atmosphere was a given but it was the sincerity of the entire office staff from the Doctor to the Esthetician that was the icing on the cake. Their warm and caring attitude was incomparable to any facility I'd considered. Dignity and respect were foremost leading to a comfort level which has allowed me to be confident that my inquiries would be addressed in a manner which was not uncomfortable or condescending.

"As for my procedure, simply put I had my entire face done. My forehead, eyes, nose, mid-face and neck were redesigned so that my physical being is now completely in line with the way I feel emotionally and mentally. If you look at my "Before" photos you'll agree that I no longer look like my grandmother.

"During the process I did get frustrated. After a mere 4 weeks I was discouraged but a wonderful office staff encouraged me to simply be patient! Trusting in their experience, listening to and following their every instruction I stayed with the diet restrictions, used the products religiously and the result is an amazing difference.

"I took advantage of the ultra sound treatments offered by Sara, the esthetician. As predicted my swelling and bruising was minimal but did last longer than I had personally anticipated. The treatments, along with her exceptionally gentle touch, yielded unbelievable positive results 2 weeks later.

"While it's not easy to describe the tremendous positive impact the surgery has made on my life I can say that my self confidence has improved 100%.

"When I first came to you for advice, I did not know what I needed to have done only that I wanted to change a double chin appearance that I had had all of my life. Your clinic and staff were very professional and Dr. Nassif explained what needed to be done to correct/remove my double chin. I had many questions and Eve, your Patient Care Coordinator, was careful to answer every question through several weeks of e-mail correspondence. No matter what problems could have interfered with the surgery schedule, your staff assisted in satisfactory co ordinance of pre-op physicals, labs acquisition, and cardiologist clearance.

"I requested specific dates, your staff worked up a schedule. I sought privacy. I was assured that my privacy would be protected. I was nervous, your staff provided comfort.

"Everyday, I look in the mirror and again, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity for this cosmetic surgery. This is not a temporary fix; the results are actually improving over time rather than diminishing. My only regret is that I waited so many years to have the surgery, but then, I waited for the best.
