VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
So I am updating my review and I'm still giving everyone a 5+ star rating! I did the fraxel on Monday and it's Sunday evening and yes I am still pink but the results are amazing! My hyper pigmentation and most of my texture is gone! I also received a chin implant with Dr K on Wednesday so I'm still swollen with that but I know I'm going to love the result of that as well! Again I need to give a shout put to Mel for being a beast with a laser! She is my go to when it comes to my aesthetic needs and also Dr K for giving me confidence with my profile. I just wish the swelling would go down faster! lol damn lack of patience. Well I now have a laundry list of other things I would like to tweak. And I know VIP is the place I can trust and know I'll get the best work done!
Extremely professional establishment. Staff is incredibly kind and I never leave without second guessing myself on instructions given to me before a procedure. I’ve been too many plastic surgeons offices and I’m truly impressed with this facility.
I had breast augmentation revision in June 2024. The results are incredible. I researched the entire country before deciding to go with Dr. K . It was worth the trip from Texas. After. nursing 4 kids, and 15 year old implants I was thinking I would need a lift (other surgeons also said I would ) but he was able to give me perfect breasts without one. Now 5 months later I can’t believe these are my boobs. They are literally perfect . Also the staff is amazing and the surgery center treats you like a princess . 10/10 recommend if you are need breast implants or revision . Thank you VIP plastic surgery.
The dr is amazing. I mean his bedside manner to his skill set Is all 100% top notch! All I had done was my lips a few years ago and I went in twice and got a full syringe each time. Surprisingly they are just now starting to fade away which has me ready to book another appointment. Thank God he is the first dr I went to and the only one I will go to so that I can continue to avoid ever getting botched. I just remember him studying my face and filling my lips according to how they were naturally and making them symmetrical with my face, at least I assume that's what he was doing because he took a minute to just look at me every so often and I completely trust him to make me look even better whenever I see him again. (Hopefully soon!) I have received countless compliments on my lips and most people think they are natural! Even tho I had 2 syringes. I think that's attributed to the fact he didn't just fill my lips just anywhere he really strategically placed the filler in my lips. i had a conversation with him about Botox as well and he gave me a recommendation to just get a little tiny bit to avoid any wrinkles he wasn't money hungry and pushing different procedures on me. I don't quite have the $ to go in yet. It's pretty expensive but you get what you pay for and I definitely won't take the cheap route when it comes to my face or body. If you're considering going to him to get some work done. I would go ahead and book that appointment he's awesome I doubt you will have any regrets
Incredible Team and Result - Dr. Christopher Khorsandi is simply the BEST. Consult to post-op I could not have been more impressed, truly an Artist. His team, Patricia in particular was incredible.. the OR staff were awesome .. THANK YOU thank you thank you!

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.
