La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre

Dr. Smooth did my upper eyelid surgery and it was a huge success! It’s been 3 months, so now I am fully healed and the final look is set. I don’t have sagging eyelids anymore and the look is very natural — no deer in headlights ending! Everything about my experience with Dr. Smoot was outstanding and I highly recommend him for this procedure. Also every appointment was on time, the staff was friendly and professional, and the surgical staff made sure I understood everything before it was done. I highly recommend him for this procedure!

Top notch laser center. Love V-​beam for broken capillaries due to Rosacea. Takes the red out your face. Swelling for 2 – 3 days but worth the results. I’ve never had better service in any other cosmetic center. Did not feel rushed at all.

Dec, 2011… First went in for a breast augmentation with Dr. Saltz, from the first appointment I was very pleased with this staff. Dr. Saltz and Ruth made me feel 100% comfortable. Surgery was schedule pretty quick after my first appointment and I L.O.V.E. my new «twins».
FAST FOWARD to Jan. 2016, Just received a hydro facial from Cameron and she was awesome as well. My skin feels great and I can’t wait to go back for more. From now on I will be making sure I have my SPF 35 as part of my morning routine! Thanks ladies! See you all soon!

Dr Saltz was my wife’s surgeon for a breast augmentation a little over a year ago. The experience was great for her since the doctor made her feel very comfortable even though my wife has pretty bad anxiety. She went with textured and periareolar incision. The doctor is a magician with her stitching methods and there are zero marks from the incision. After a couple weeks I could tell that the doctor had done a great job, but now that a year has passed I can confidently say that my wife now has some of the best breasts in southern California of not the entire west coast. I am constantly blown away by how great they turned out. Thanks to all the nurses, staff, and Dr Saltz!

I have been seeing Cameron for facials and she has completely changed my skin. I have always struggled with acne and my skin has never been this good in my entire life. She is so kind, compassionate, and goes above and beyond. She hears your skin troubles and then takes action to change it. I can honestly say she is truly amazing! I have never got compliments on my skin, but after seeing Cameron people will comment on how good my skin looks. Even strangers! Cameron is amazing and I highly recommend her for acne, wrinkles, dark spots, or whatever skin issues you might have. She knows her stuff!

I was recommended to Cameron at the skin and laser clinic after I had such amazing experience at the surgery center with Dr Brahme with a breast augmentation, I knew if the level of care I received at the laser center was even near close to what I got at the surgery center I would love it. And Cameron totally exceeded my expectations. I received a hydro facial from her and it was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about my skin and recommending further care. My skin was glowing for weeks after and I can’t wait for my next experience with her!

Dr. Saltz did a face lift on my friends mother years ago and I was very impressed. I decided to make a appointment to meet with her for a tummy tuck. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Dr. Saltz and her assistant Ruth were great! The morning I showed up for surgery they all made me feel very comfortable. Even the anesthesiologist assured me on the table that he has worked with them for years. Then I went under. I went home the same day after surgery. Ruth came to see me at home in my bed 48 hours later. The follow up was visits went great. I healed wonderfully. My cut lines are very low. Dr. Saltz went as far as putting the draining tubes in my vaginal area and to my surprise she even removed stretch marks from my vagina. I know TMI. But the details are important. I am so very happy even 6 years later and my tummy looks the same and is rock solid. And my friend NEEDS to see her and maybe she can give her a good price!

I had a wonderful experience with this office and Dr. John Smoot and his extensive and terrific staff. After consults with three different doctors for my abdominal surgery, I was so happy I chose Dr. Smoot. His office gave me amazing service and support. They are impeccably clean, caring and very reasonable on cost and arrangements. I could not be happier with my surgery results and my treatment here.

As a recent/​first time patient now receiving botox/​filler injections from Lauren, I highly recommend this place! The staff is both knowledgeable and accommodating, and make you feel as comfortable as possible during procedures. 3 cheers for the LJCSC! KB

I absolutely LOVE LJCSC. The staff is beyond amazing. You will not get any fake personalities here because everyone is genuinely happy and must enjoy their jobs. I have gone to Brittney and Lauren and both are really amazing. They will never up-​sell or oversell you on anything and simply try to make sure you get the most from your procedure.
I have recommended friends, family and strangers here simply because I have never been steered wrong or left dissatisfied. Highly recommend if you are looking for a top notch skin care clinic or any type of procedure… you will not regret it.

I absolutely love Cameron! I started seeing her because I had tried just about every prescription and remedy for my acne and I wasn’t seeing an improvement. I had some cosmetic surgery done at the center and that is when I was introduced to Cameron. We set up a consultation where she viewed my skin and talked about what she could do to help. She recommended the REpair Hydrafacial once a week for 4 weeks. I just finished my third session and am seeing a huge improvement already. She is very knowledgable about skin care and gives great advice about what products to use and how to protect your skin. It can be scary finding someone you can trust to work on your skin especially your face but now that I have found Cameron I recommend her to everyone and have full faith in her. We have a few more things planned after the Hydrafacials and I can’t wait to see how everything turns out.
Thank you Cameron and La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center– Skincare Clinic

Their skin and laser center is FABULOUS. I got a hydra facial by Cameron today and it was such an enjoyable, pleasant experience from the time I walked in the door. Cameron is so good and super knowledgable. I literally was in heaven, and my skin glows now! I recommend this to everyone!!!

If this was all about personalities I would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately, $ 23k later and my tummy tuck still has a large lump (I paid for a second surgery to remove it) so I can’t wear tight clothes.
Breast reduction is fine except my breasts have settled very far apart from each other and for some reason no lipo was done to remove the fat on the sides (as I had asked to be done) so they look like they wrap around my body.
Personalities and care from all staff was amazing.

Dr Saltz and staff were very professional, and made you feel comfortable the minute that you walk in the door. Our nurse Ruth was a hoot and had such a great personality. Dr. Saltz is not the cheapest around, but worth every penny. My wife looks great!

I researched for about a year for a doctor to help me. I needed to have a breast lift at the age of 24 due to 50lb weight loss. I also wanted to have an implant put in because i had lost all of my breasts with the weight loss. after reading all the great reviews and having a consultation i finally decided to go with Dr Saltz in sept 2012. I brought in so many wish pics and after speaking with the Dr and her nurse i really felt they understood what i wanted and could give it to me! (they are very nice btw) My main goal was to have my breasts lifted since they were basically empty skin sacks! I knew i wasn’t going to be her easiest client but she seemed up for the challenge. I told her my main goal was to have very perky breasts that i didn’t have to wear a bra if I chose not to.
I had saved up to have this surgery for a very long time and i THOUGT if i went with a highly reviewed doctor i would maybe pay a little more but get what i was paying for.
Day of surgery: I was so excited i couldn’t wait to fix my body! I was there very early and waited for the doctor. Then Dr Saltz came and drew on my body the guidelines we had talked about during our consult and we got ready to begin. After the surgery i woke up very nauseous and felt so rushed to wake up, I had to tell the nurse to give me a min but i could tell she must have needed the recovery room for someone else. Before i knew it i was in my friends car on my way home (less then an hour after the surgery) I was like, what just happened!!!
When we agreed on the incisions the Dr would be making we decided she would remove my nipple and do a T incision down my boob and under it. When i woke up there was no DR and the nurse told me the dr changed her mind and just removed my nipple and did one line incision down my breast but nothing underneath. In my mind i was thinking great less scaring but i hope that doesn’t effect the way my breasts will look.
the first 3 months my breast looked scary but behind all the stitches and incisions they felt amazing! I was given a special bra to wear for the first 6 months and i purchased 3 more as well. It was about month 4, i knew my breasts were still settling but i thought to myself if they lower any more I am not going to like them! I called to see what the Dr could do for me because i felt them getting saggier by the day! she told me she could do a revision but it was going to cost me another chunk of money that i didn’t have. I didn’t understand why i would have to pay more money when i wasn’t having the results i was promised with the 12,000.00 dollars i already paid!!! My breast are HORRIBLE. It has been 2 and half years now and they effect the way i feel every single day! I can’t believe i had a breast lift at age 24 and now I’m 26 and need another one!
I thought long and hard before leaving a review but everyday that goes by i hate my breast when i look in the mirror and when I wear a push up bra it just makes it worse by creating ripples in my skin! I wish more then anything i chose a different doctor. I realize now that Dr. Saltz just wants to make money, she doesn’t care if you are happy with your results or not unless you want to pay her more!
I will never recommend her and hope no one every experiences this when they decide to have surgery!

The esthetician Cameron is amazing! I have been struggling with acne for the majority of my life and have seen multiple estheticians. I have tried numerous treatments and products and nothing seemed to be effective. I have been regularly going to see Cameron for about the past 4 months and the change I see in my skin in literally life changing! She had recommended the perfect products for me to use at home and her treatments are very effective! She is extremely friendly and professional and definitely knows what she is doing! I highly recommend her! It is the best feeling to not have to hide my skin under tons of makeup anymore! Thanks Cameron!

I have been to the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre a few times for laser hair removal and it is fantastic! The entire staff is friendly and efficient, I always get in on time for my appointment and everyone is so kind. The Aesthetic Registered Nurse, Brittany, RN, BSN is incredible. She took the time to go over all of the options with me for laser surgery and walked me through the entire process. I highly recommend Brittany and the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre to anyone who is looking into an area of cosmetic surgery.

I was nervous about getting my breast augmentation at first, but everything changed when I walked in that office. Not only was Dr. Smooth the kindest doctor I have ever had, but his staff was amazing. The nurses made me feel very comfortable and excited about the whole process. He made everything easy. I was surprised how simple and painless it was. The anesthesiologist was awesome he made me feel relaxed and safe. Dr. Smoot was recommend by my mother. He had done her breast and my grandmothers both after breast cancer years ago. Today they are healthy and still look young with beautiful bodies. I was positive I wanted him to do mine. Now I’m very glad I did. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get their breast done or any cosmetic surgery, especially if you are nervous and unsure. He is perfect. Thank you so much Dr. Smoot!

This is my second surgery from Dr Saltz.
From the moment I arrived at Dr. Saltz’ office in La Jolla, CA, my expectations were far surpassed by how professional, and personable both Dr. Saltz, and her assistant Ruth, were. Dr. Saltz, besides being a great doctor, is a perfectionist, and is someone with the highest integrity. Shes goes above and beyond to make sure the patient is completely happy with the results. Not only do I highly recommend Dr. Saltz for any of your cosmetic surgery needs, I now consider her and her assistant Ruth my friends. They put every concern I had at ease. They answered every question I had, and gave me peace of mind that I chose the right doctor. From the very first consultation, after surgery, and during recovery at home, they made every effort to keep in contact with me, to make sure that I was doing fine.
I am COMPLETELY happy with the results of my breast lift. They are perfect. Thank you Dr. Saltz for changing my life.
Sincerely,
Dana Ursino

Came in for a Hydrofacial treatment today. Carmen, the aesthetician, was knowledgable and patient while she talked to me about my skin and how to best handle my issues. I have a tendency to scar very easily and didn’t want to do anything drastic for my hyper pigmentation.
I feel like I can trust them and I will be going back every month for maintain vs doing anything drastic like fillers, laser treatments and Botox.
