Had rhinoplasty here and I would not recommend. One of my comments during consultation was that I wanted a smaller version of my nose. My nose is wide and I wanted the nasal bones brought in to create a slimmer aesthetic. On a follow up, Dr. Daraei actually mentioned that he made my nose bigger. More projection makes sense but it is larger all around. The prominent nasal bones I had an issue with? Still there. A bridge graft was placed to camouflage them a bit but only works moderately to distract from them because the graft is so obvious. I can literally see the edges of the graft. I’m over a year post-op and seeking revision with a different surgeon. When I discussed revision with Dr. Daraei, I was told the graft was very thin so essentially it can’t be shaved down. I felt any concern I’ve raised has been brushed away as no big deal or needing more time to heal. I paid over $10K for the rhino, I would think I’d need to be happy with it even if the Dr. thinks he did an okay job. My columella is wider now, nasal tip is not refined and it looks like a round clown nose unless I use a filter for my pics. The bridge graft is obvious and slightly off-centered. I didn’t like my nose before but I find myself looking at old pics of my nose and wishing I left it that way. Posting somewhat anonymously for privacy but I have no problem sharing more details if anyone is considering this doc. Still expressed concerns about my nose several months post-op, there was no 1-year post-op appointment.

Dr. K and Dr. D are so AMAZING!! I see Dr. D for my face maintenance, botox, filler, CO2 lasering, upper and lower bleph, etc. and I am always so happy with the results. I trust him explicitly ! Earlier this year one of my breast implants ruptured (ones that I got in 12 years ago - not from Dr. K), and I picked Dr. K to do my replacement. He was so great! The rupture was causing me so much pain, both he and Dr. D were so kind and you could tell they really cared for me. They did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and at ease. (while I was getting the replacement done, Dr. D did my upper bleph and CO2 lasering) Dr. K was so great with the after care and follow up. I am SO happy with my results!! Both doctors are so great! And their office staff is A++++ ! They are all so personable and caring. I highly recommend both doctors!! if you are on the fence about doing any procedures - do it! You will be in great hands!

Dr. Killingsworth, Eve and all the staff are amazing. I had Breast Cancer surgery with reconstruction and it has been such a good experience. His bedside manner is so nice and I have felt very comfortable in what has been a rough few months. He is the best!

I had a breast augmentation on August 15th with Dr. Killingsworth, and the entire experience from pre-op to post-op was absolutely amazing and well worth it. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, was extremely knowledgeable, and set realistic expectations that made me feel confident. I truly love my results! Dr. Killingsworth is an incredibly skilled surgeon who is passionate about his craft. His team is just as impressive, my nurse and anesthesiologist were kind, attentive, and well informed, which really helped put me at ease and made me feel cared for on the day of surgery. I also see Eve Melendez for lip filler, and she always does an incredible job. My lips come out looking flawless and natural every time. Both Dr. Killingsworth and Eve are highly professional, and their bedside manner makes me feel completely secure in what to expect while still exceeding my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received and the results!
