Alexander Cosmetic Surgery

I have been going to Dr. Alexander’s office for my Botox and similar injections for years– always with wonderful results, feeling and looking years younger. I decided after having 4 children, and the youngest not so young anymore– that I would finally get the tummy tuck I always dreamed of. The choice was a no brainer– and Dr. John Alexander did the procedure. I am in my 4^th week of recovery and I couldn’t be happier! The surgery is not to be taken lightly, I had to listen to the Doctor and nurses and allow my body to heal by resting and doing zero activity –especially in first 2weeks. That is hard for someone like me, as I am always on the go! The results I have this far are fabulous! My stomach is flat and the swelling hadn’t even completely subsided! The staff are so caring and gracious and I feel very taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Alexander if you are considering augmentation. I couldn’t be happier!

Wonderful experience here with Joanna and Nina! So nice to be able to be taken care of for my facials and IPL! Cynthia (COO) is very knowledgable and professional ! There’s no where else to go in La Jolla to get you looking your best!!! Thanks ladies!

Darcy has been extremely helpful over the last couple of years while my wife and I were seeking help for our various needs. She is very attentive to each of our needs and can be reached via phone or email instantaneously. She also has a kindness and persona about her that makes it so easy to tell her what your issues are and also gives you the comfort of knowing that your medical needs are strictly confidential and private. I highly recommend anyone seeking help for low testosterone or skin care to do themselves a favor and make an appointment with Darcy!

Great staff, super facility, excellent surgeon.

Dr. Alexander is amazing! I am SO happy with the results of my rhinoplasty! The doctor and staff are all so friendly and caring and made it a very enjoyable process!!!

Alexander Cosmetics Surgery Center & Skin Care delivers excellent results with excellent patient care! My cousin and I had the opportunity to experience that wonderful treatment yesterday and were quite impressed from the moment we entered the Skin Care Center to the very end of the treatment. The staff were so friendly and very attentive. We went in for facials and were quite concerned of our milia problem. I had been told before that my milias were too deep and only laser surgery was the solution but Nina proved that wrong, nothing was too complicated for her, she went ahead and started the procedure without hesitancy and took out every last one of them being careful and making sure that I felt no pain that was intolerable and then gave me the most wonderful facial. My cousin and I were so happy and satisfied with the result and, even more so, pampered that we left with great satisfaction and vowed to be back for more treatments. Thank you Dr. Alexander for your attentive and caring staff, Valerie, Cynthia and Nina.

Great experience from the beginning of the entire process. Dr. Alexander has a very customer friendly and supportive staff. They answer your questions in their entirety and are available to you should another question arise… and I had many… Cynthia and Kelley never made me feel like I was bothering them and made sure I knew they were there for me. Dr, Alexander and his surgical staff were great and very calming… I researched many doctors before I made this decision (eye lift and neck lift) and I was always told Dr. Alexander is the one you can trust. Best Informed Decision I made!

Dr. Alexander is absolutely amazing as is his staff. I had a «Quick Lift» done and am incredibly happy with the results. I look 10 years younger and did not even need to take a pain pill. Dr. Alexander even came in the office on Saturday of a holiday weekend to take my stitches out and called me at home to check on me after the surgery. His nurse and staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I was told exactly what to expect and now look refreshed and love that when I ask for my senior discount, no one believes me. Dr. Alexander is the best. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone who wants to erase the years and be given all the time and attention and reassurance that is needed when plastic surgery is being considered.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Alexander and his staff. He removed a skin cancer from my temple 2 weeks ago and I can hardly see the scar already! I can hardly believe what a terrific job he did. He was very informative, patient, honest, reasonably priced and obviously a great surgeon. Darcy and Cynthia couldn’t have been more friendly as well as helpful, caring and effective. I am grateful to have found such an amazing combination of qualities in him and in every person who I have dealt with at his office. Very satisfied.

I recently had a wonderful facial appointment at the skin care office. I was treated in a way that made me feel like I was truly cared for, from everyone to Val who checked me in to Cynthia (the Chief of Operations) to Nina who treated me to a fantastic service. I can’t wait to go back! Such a pleasure to be taken care of and to know that you’re in great hands. Thank you, Ladies, for everything you do! Hope to see you soon!!!

Looking for a plastic surgeon? Look no further, this is the guy you want to see. Dr. Alexander has been my plastic surgeon for many years, he does amazing work. He’s honest, smart, down to earth and doesn’t up sell you any procedures that you don’t need.

Words cannot fully describe what a gentleman and perfectionist Dr. Alexander is. I have had surgery performed by him and I am extremely happy. Dr. Alexander is a caring doctor who puts you as the patient first. He is not pushy and explains patiently what he thinks would be best for your body. From pre-​op to post-​op you will be in the most caring of hands! The staff are excellent, friendly and the skin care department is the best!

Excellent care and kindness from Dr. Alexander, LeAnne Howard and all the staff. I highly recommend for all your skin care needs.

I have been a patient of Dr. Alexander for several years. I have observed during that time a very caring and personable Doctor. My experiences have been all positive. I recently had a treatment at his skin care treatment office. The staff there were warm and friendly. This establishment answers all of your questions and concerns that helps you participate to achieve your goals. You realize Nina the Esthetician is really skilled at her craft. She has the ability to calm and relax you with her charming personality. The chief of operations Cynthia a very warm and pleasant woman welcomes you with a big smile and offers you your favorite drink. She is a wealth of information and decodes the numerous treatments. You leave this office feeling like a VIP person.

Nature was kind to me, I was bestowed with good looks. I used to be a photo and runway model before I decided to venture on another, more mentally satisfying career. However, I still cared for my looks and tried to maintain them. But alas, as we all know, exercises or not, great diet or not, there comes a time when gravity starts to make its mark. Although for fifty one years old I still had a nice skin tone, the skin itself started to get more loose, resulting in stronger nose to mouth lines and visible marionette lines. Also the skin underneath my chin definitely got saggy, and especially from the profile was not a pretty sight anymore. I have high cheek bones and an oval delicate face, definitely not an easy task to tack and pull without distortions. I watched many women undergo plastic surgery in Paris, New York, Los Angeles and Mexico. I watched them closely and although many looked good I was not a hundred percent convinced. On most faces you just could tell that they had something done: either just slightly too done, or a little scar formation here or there that gave it away, or even when undetected, just not such a natural look nevertheless. There were real unlucky ones too with lateral sweep folds that definitely got me scared. And then one day I met a friend of a friend who looked stunning. Later I found out from my friend that her friend had a face lift done. Her friend looked so great but so natural that I got really excited: finally someone I could perhaps dare to go to?
That is how I found Dr. Alexander and I could not be more grateful that I did find him. I ended up having a mini lift and I am absolutely delighted with the results: I look ten years younger, really! — The extra skin gone, without looking fake. My facial features exactly as they were, no physical changes (like sharper lines I see in some women), but so much fresher and beautiful looking. I travel in my profession and sometimes I meet people I have not seen for years. And they can’t believe how I can look the same after so many years have passed. And I see some women scrutinizing me, but they just can’t find proof :)
The whole experience with Dr. Alexander and his staff was marvelous. I do not live in San Diego but decided to go to him in any case, even though it meant to pay for a hotel a few days as well. It was worth every penny. Originally I did not even have to go to San Diego, I sent in pictures and communicated with him and the patient coordinator Julie.
Everyone in his clinic is just wonderful: warm, unhurried, totally helpful, and extremely professional. It is definitely a scary thing to undertake a face lift, but the doctor immediately takes the fears away: he is such a calm and proficient doctor, and incredible surgeon (a real artist in fact) but also such a lovely human being. As the friend had told her friend: the best bedside manners imaginable, and so indeed it was. Dr. Alexander truly cares about his work and his patients. He is a perfectionist and one immediately understands that one is truly safe in his hands. The personal care of him and his whole personnel was outstanding and the best part of course is the outstanding result of the procedure.
There is one downside unavoidable: as mentioned, my lift was done so perfectly, you can’t tell and I won’t tell either. It is my little ‘Dorian Grey’ secret. So there aren’t that many pictures to see on the website of Dr. Alexander, because most of his living art works love their little beauty secret. Thank you Dr. Alexander!

I got a quick lift 3 years ago. I’m 47 and it still looks great! No one has any idea that I got a quick lift they just think I’m aging well. Lol! No uneven ears! He has a gentle touch and very careful and caring person.
Believe me, I’m a nervous Nelly and I emailed him with questions all the time and he was great not making me feel like I was bothering him and he got back to me ASAP all the time. I can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Alexander is an amazing surgeon. He is caring and a true perfectionist. He really is the best.

I went to Dr. Alexander in 2010 for a quick lift and laser facial resurfacing. What is remarkable is that 5 years later, at the age of 60, my face still looks amazing. Last year people have told me they think I am 38, 40, 47, etc. I look at least 15 years younger than my chronological age. Very pleased. In addition, he was a very kind and caring doc. Would do it again.
Update: Went to church a few months ago with my son (he is 35 years old). Several people asked me if I was his sister. This happens every time I meet my kids friends. Then a month ago I had two 18 year old girls quizzing me about my age. «You can’t be old enough to have grown kids. You’re maybe 40 — on a bad day.» My boyfriend said when he met me he thought I was about 35… Lovin’ this.

I am a patient and I have recommended many to Dr. John. Everyone has been as pleased as I with their results. You would be hard pressed to find a better surgeon who is caring, informative, funny and a perfectionist. My favorite thing is that he will tell you no. You have to love that… he just wants you to look good.
I’m also in love with his staff. The skin care side is wonderful. I will travel for all they provide.

Where do I begin, so much information on the Internet & so many choices making a big decision like this. I did all my research and found that Dr. John Alexander was the right doctor for my procedure. From the office staff to the receptionist everyone was awesome. Never felt so comfortable so quickly with any doctor I’ve met before John. They were very attentive constantly at my beck and call. Follow-​up was incredible & attention to detail was impressive. Five stars highly recommended, turned out awesome. if you’re thinking about this procedure, I strongly suggest you give them a call. Julie the office manager is an absolute lovely person, thanks so much everyone.
