⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Surgeon and Team You Could Ever Ask For! My experience with Dr. Salazar and his entire team was truly exceptional from start to finish. What began as what we thought would be a routine implant exchange quickly turned into a much more complex procedure — Dr. Salazar discovered a ruptured implant and a perforated capsule that required extra care, time, and expertise. He handled everything with absolute precision, professionalism, and compassion. His calm confidence made me feel completely safe and cared for, even when things became more complicated than expected. The level of attention and support I received from his nurse Jocelyn and nurse Michelle was beyond anything I could have imagined. Jocelyn was there with me through every step — explaining everything clearly, easing my nerves, and making me feel genuinely cared for. Michelle went above and beyond during my post-op care, administering IV treatments when I needed them most and ensuring my recovery stayed on track. Their kindness and dedication never went unnoticed. And I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ruth, who was such an integral part of my post-care experience. She was patient, attentive, and made me feel like more than just a patient — she made me feel like family. Every single person in Dr. Salazar’s office operates with such heart and professionalism. Even though my procedures are now complete, I can honestly say I’ll miss seeing everyone in the office. The entire staff made me feel so comfortable, supported, and loved throughout my entire journey. It’s rare to find a medical team that combines such incredible skill with such genuine care and warmth. If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon in San Diego who is not only talented and meticulous but also compassionate and deeply committed to his patients’ well-being, Dr. Salazar is the one. I would recommend him and his team to anyone — they truly set the standard for what patient care should look like

I’ve had three surgeries with Dr. Swistun, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about him! I’m a 47-year-old mom, and from the very first consultation, I knew I was in great hands. Dr. Swistun was incredibly thorough, taking so much time to go over every detail with me. His meticulous approach is exactly why I chose him after meeting with three other surgeons—none of them compared. I originally had naturally larger breasts (34E at around 110 lbs), and after nursing for a year, they became uncomfortably heavy—too much for jogging or even chasing my son around without two bras! I decided to have a breast reduction and lift, and now I’m a small C. I’m absolutely obsessed with the results. A few months later, I returned for a reverse upper tummy tuck to remove a small layer of fat under my breasts—again, I loved the outcome. Most recently, I had some stubborn back fat addressed (no amount of exercise was helping), along with a bit of skin tightening and a small amount of lipo on my abdomen. Once again, the results are fantastic. Not only is Dr. Swistun incredibly skilled, but he and his entire team—Kayla and everyone—are so kind, professional, and genuinely care about your end results. I truly could not be happier!

I had the best experience with Dr. Salazar & his team. I went in not knowing what to expect (and pretty nervous) & from the consultation, to pre-op, surgery, and after care everything was incredible. I left every appointment feeling very confident and well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for better results in addition, way better than I even imagined. Could not recommend them enough!

My experience at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center has been phenomenal. The office administration was respectful, welcoming. Karina was professionally amazing at coordinating and patient with my needs. Everything ran so smoothly between me and the wonderful nurses and assistants. Dr. Salazar was the best. An exceptional listener, demonstrated his plan of action and executed iconically. I am so delighted with my results!

I am a patient of the surgical suite, downstairs, and the medical spa , upstairs. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Their work is always exceeding...

I had a breast augmentation and breast lift with Dr. Hector Salazar in July, and I could not be more thrilled with my experience and results. Dr. Salazar is beyond exceptional, truly the greatest surgeon. His expertise, precision, and caring approach put me completely at ease from the very beginning. His nurse and entire staff were equally incredible, making me feel right at home throughout the entire process. Every step, from consultation to surgery to post-op care, was handled with such professionalism and compassion. Recovery was much easier than I expected, and I know that’s a testament to Dr. Salazar’s skill and attention to detail. I am so grateful I chose him. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. If you are considering a breast procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Salazar highly enough!

My experience with Dr. Swistun was nothing short of first class. I had 26-year-old 425cc implants that were hard and calcified and needed to be removed....
