Bay Area Esthetics Plastic Surgery: Navid Pourtaheri, MD Reviews

WARNING: Learn from My Costly Mistake! If you're considering plastic surgery, heed my cautionary tale about Dr. Navid Pourtaheri of Bay Area Esthetics Plastic Surgery. Trusting him was the worst decision I've made, and I don't want anyone else to suffer the same fate. Initially, I believed in Dr. Pourtaheri's good intentions, but his lack of skill and competence shattered my hopes for a successful outcome. From the outset, he misled me about recovery times and expectations, setting the stage for a series of disastrous results. I shelled out over $20k for what was promised to be a transformative V-line jaw surgery, lip lift, and genioplasty. However, a year later, I'm left with nothing but regret and a laundry list of botched procedures: - Unsightly chin indents and asymmetry that defy the very purpose of the surgeries. - Muscle detachment in the jaw area, necessitating further surgery to rectify, exacerbated by ineffective attempts at correction with filler. - Poorly placed, conspicuous stitches on my nose. - A visible, poorly placed lip scar that CO2 treatments failed to rectify. - A botched, uneven lip lift, for which Dr. Pourtaheri conveniently shifted blame onto me, despite being aware of previous fat injections in the area. My experience with Dr. Pourtaheri has left me profoundly disillusioned and filled with regret. Trusting in his expertise was a costly mistake that I implore you not to repeat. Spare yourself the pain, disappointment, and financial loss. Learn from my ordeal and seek out a qualified, reputable surgeon for any cosmetic procedures. Your well-being and appearance deserve better. Don't make the same mistake I did--choose wisely.

My experience with this office was less than stellar. Called and spoke with the receptionist (said her name was Delilah) to ask if they treated ice pick scars. She told me she would ask the doctor and call me back. I told her that I have other stuff I would like done, but that would be down the road. I didn't hear back and the next day I tried calling again. I received a text that they're busy and will call me right back. I texted back that I was following up about my question the day before. Never heard back from them. This review is not about the doctor - he may be terrific, but I will never know.

Dr. Pourtaheri is not only an amazing surgeon but also an amazing person. He takes the time to get to know you and makes sure he hears you. He has a great personality and sense of humor. I've seen him for Botox and filler and never once has he given me something I don't need. He knows what's best for your face just by looking at it and he never tries to just take money. He's all about what makes you happy but also making sure you look natural. I can honestly say he's one of kindest doctors and he is the best at what he does. He won't leave you hanging. He answers all your questions. I wouldn't trust anyone else.
