"I initially went to meet with Dr. Tansavatdi because she had gotten excellent Yelp reviews. So now I'll pay it forward to someone else trying to find a good plastic surgeon.
I was impressed from the first visit. She took time to understand my goals and reasons for wanting to change my face (I had just turned 60 and had been developing jowls which bothered me). I told her I wanted it to look natural, and not fake like some movie stars or people my age trying to look 30. She understood, showed me example photos, and suggested I have a deep plane face lift and also consider getting fat injected under my eyes. I had noticed for many years that I had hollows under my eyes, but I didn't know you could do anything about it. I decided to do both. She then clearly explained what I could expect from the surgery and what it would and would not fix.
Throughout the process, I felt I was in good hands, which was important because after all, it's my face! She and her staff were very professional and gave me detailed daily instructions about what to do, eat, and pills to take in the weeks before and the month after the surgery. She had videos I could watch so I knew exactly what to expect. She had several follow up visits with me to make sure I was doing well. The areas under my eyes were bruised and puffy for a while, so she injected them with something and zapped them with a laser (no extra charge) to speed up healing.
Now it's 4 months after the surgery, and I am so happy with the results! I no longer have jowls, and I'm so glad I took her advice about the hollows under my eyes because my face looks much younger and healthier with those gone. A few weeks ago, I was getting dressed up to go out and looked at my face in the mirror and thought, "I look pretty!" It had been many years since that thought had popped into my head.
I'm very glad I chose to trust her with my face."

This review is from my mother Rose who recently had a comprehensive facelift and both a upper and lower eyelid lift. She found Dr. T through Yelp based on all her fantastic reviews and honestly couldn't agree more. Dr. T is professional, thorough, understanding and makes sure you are comfortable with all aspects of your procedure. Not only is Dr. T fantastic at what she does but she is an expert in her field. My mother was beautiful before her surgery and Dr. T enhanced my mothers natural beauty in a way that captured how she felt inside! 50 going on 35! Our family will continue to recommend Dr. T and her wonderful staff to all our friends and family! If you are feeling apprehensive or unsure Dr. T will provide you with all the answers you need to start this new chapter in your life! I should also mention her new facility is so beautiful!

“I cannot praise Dr. Tansavatdi and her entire team enough. I had an amazing experience since the moment I arrived to her office for a consultation. Everyone is very warm and genuine, and I do value that very much. She performed a rhinoplasty and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. She also performed a NeckTite procedure combined with Fractora. It was my first time getting any kind of surgery done on my face, and I always felt at ease with Dr. T. and her team. Everyone is very professional, and I honestly believe Dr. T. is the best surgeon out there.”

“Dr. Tansavatdi is a miracle worker, plain and simple. I cannot recommend her enough. I went to Dr. T with a septoplasty that went terribly wrong. There were multiple problems done by the previous doctor. I came to Dr. T feeling insecure, hopeless, and defeated after enduring a botched procedure. I chose Dr. T because she specializes in nasal revision surgeries. She was very up front and honest about all of the limitations of my procedure as well as the possible challenges she might face in surgery. The results of Dr. T's work FAR exceeded my expectations! She spent much longer than expected during my procedure to ensure the best results. I highly recommend Dr. Tansavatdi for any nasal procedures. She is a protectionist and truly the best at what she does. You can rest assured that you will be in good hands.”

I highly recommend Dr. Tansavatdi for any facial cosmetic procedure. She does not disappoint!”

“Dr, Tansavatdi is everything she's talked up to be. I had an ill-placed Bolotero filler in my tear troughs that had been concerning and disfiguring me for 2 years. She’s the only one I trusted (after carefully reading reviews) to inject the reversal antidote, hyaluronodiase. She injected my under eye and immediately the prior filler dissolved without issue. My eyes are 100% back to normal, and I wish I had found her sooner. I also had her inject my lips with Restylane and they look fabulous.”
