Reviews of San Diego Institute of Plastic Surgery (Plastic Surgery)

Dr. Hallak is simply AMAZING! I had a breast lift and augmentation back in July 2013 with a surgeon in La Jolla, very expensive surgery, but I had believed that expensive meant the best. I was so wrong! I was never totally pleased with the results but I had no other option than accept the look of my breasts. In January 2015 I had my first mammogram and it was a total disaster! The muscle covering the implants got torn and the implants dropped. I could feel them right under my skin. Of course the mammogram clinic makes you sign a waiver saying that they are not responsible for any damage to implants. When I noticed that something was wrong, I went to see the surgeon in La Jolla and left his office feeling very disappointed and angry, he said that the repair of the muscles was going to cost me over half of the amount that I had payed for the lift and implants! A couple of months ago I decided to go see Dr. Hallak and he immediately explained that what had happened could be easily fixed. He was so kind, honest and professional that I knew right away that I wanted him to do my surgery! I was also given a much more reasonable quote, so I asked him to schedule my surgery as soon as possible. The office staff was also very nice and professional. Dr. Hallak repaired the muscles in both breasts, re-positioned the implants (now they look fuller and closer) and revised the scars under the breasts and around the areolas. From the day of the surgery and ever since, Dr. Hallak has been available for me to answer any questions I may have. My surgery was 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love the look of my breasts. This is the exact result that I wanted to achieve in my first and very expensive surgery! My friends and family have told me that I look incredibly good. I’m so happy and thankful I found Dr. Hallak! If you’re looking for a great plastic surgeon in San Diego, schedule a consult with Dr. Hallak, you will be in the best hands. I highly recommend him to everyone! LG
