VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
Great experience! The doctor was kind, thorough, and took the time to listen and explain everything clearly during my consultation. I feel confident moving forward with treatment and highly recommend!!
Dr. Christopher Khorsandi and his team at VIP Plastic Surgery were all so great and friendly, even when just getting greeted in. He was helpful with work from a previous surgeon. He’s informed and you can tell that he cares about the people he treats. Great experience, thanks again!
Dr. Khorsandi is very honest and trustworthy! I will be forever grateful for his compassionate artistic expertise. Dr. Khorsandi remedied what started out as a complicated rare disorder mess after a botched up dental procedure. Thank you Dr. Khorsandi, you are the best !
I had the best experience with Dr. Khorsandi and couldn’t be happier with my results — both from my breast augmentation and my lip filler. From the very first consultation, he made me feel completely comfortable, heard, and confident in my decision. His bedside manner is truly exceptional and he never rushes you.What really stood out was how knowledgeable and professional Dr. Khorsandi is. He clearly knows his craft and took the time to explain every step of the process, answer all my questions, and make sure my goals were understood and met beautifully.The follow-up care was just as impressive. He checked in consistently, made sure my healing was on track, and was always available if I had concerns.I also want to mention the entire office staff. Every single person was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They truly take care of you and make you feel comfortable and supported from start to finish.And most importantly… my results look AMAZING. They fit my body perfectly and are exactly what I hoped for (if not better)!!!!!!If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I cannot recommend Dr. Khorsandi and his team enough. Skilled, professional, compassionate, and truly invested in their patients’ outcomes. Best decision I’ve made!
I had a great experience with my chest augmentation. The entire staff was wonderful—kind, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The doctor was truly amazing: extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, and clearly very skilled. He did a fantastic job, and I’m so happy with my results.I came in after having a bad experience with a previous surgeon, and the difference was night and day. I finally felt heard, safe, and confident in the care I was receiving. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone looking for excellent results and a team that genuinely cares.

Can i have buccal fat removed?
The best candidates for buccal fat removal are those patients who are self-conscious or unhappy with their mid-face and feel as though they have chubby cheeks. They dislike the rounder, less defined appearance that their cheeks bring to their face and wish to decrease this aspect for a slimmer, more defined look. Buccal fat removal is a growing treatment among patients who have lived with chubby cheeks and simply want a simple solution to look sharper and more contoured.
Surgical Technique
During your consultation at VIP Plastic Surgery, Dr. Khorsandi will examine your cheeks and discuss the removal of the buccal fat tissue. Depending on how much tissue and fat resides under and around the cheekbones will help Dr. Khorsandi create a custom approach for treatment. During the surgery, anesthesia is given and a small incision is made on the inside of the mouth, as well as on the inside of your cheek. The buccal fat pad will be removed, and then the incisions will be closed with sutures. Many times, the cheekbones may need to be slightly repositioned. This can be done with sutures for a natural result.
