Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The BEST
Dr. Shifren did a lower-lid blepharoplasty and an upper endotine face lift 10-years ago. He also used Sculptra to enhance the effects. All of which are still holding up beautifully today (even the Sculptra). I get regular compliments on my high cheekbones, which are not a natural part of my facial structure. However, everything looks so natural. Nobody would guess that I’ve had facial surgery. Even my immediate family members don’t know. They’re just always wondering who I got my high cheekbones from, lol.

Dr. Shifren is the best surgeon. After my surgery, I am happier than ever. I can wear clothes I like and feel really confident. Every follow up appointment with him. He always very patiently answer my questions and give me right suggestions.

Dr Shifren DEFORMED my face and I have been tortured with a deformed face for 6 years now... unable to find another doctor to fix his mistake. Dr. Shifren is UNPROFESSIONAL. He did me a fat transfer and put me 2cc more fat in my left cheek. He ”left my checks uneven“. As a result of his bad decision and mistake, my left cheek is BIGGER than the right one.- I cry everyday when I see myself in the mirror. He DEFORMED ME. I used to have a beautiful smile and since he deformed my face I can’t smile, because if I smile my left side looks even worst, bigger than the right one. Beside of doing a horrible job, he never gave me a consultation before the surgery. His secretary advised me and convinced me of a fat transfer and Dr. Shifren just met me at the surgery room to immediately do the fat transfer. They never educated me about the surgery. They just deceived me. HE NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. He never did me a cheek liposuction or a bucal fat removal to fix his mistake- WORST DOCTOR EVER

I truly wish there were more stars to give Dr Shifren, Hana, Melanie, and the rest of the staff at WAVE Plastic Surgery. If I could I would give them 11 stars out of 5. As a physician myself I am more critical than most and I was truly impressed with every aspect of my experience at WAVE Plastic Surgery in general and with Dr Shifren, Hana, and Melanie in particular. When I first made the decision to undergo the Smart Liposuction procedure, I spent a great deal of time researching physicians and practices until I finally came upon WAVE Plastic Surgery. My first point of contact was with Hana and Melanie at the Irvine offices of WAVE. They were caring and thorough from the very first and continued to be so throughout my experience. I was given a thorough and realistic recommendation along with an accurate cost estimate. But the aspect that truly convinced me that WAVE was the correct choice for me was the knowledge and lack of pressure. I can say without a doubt that undergoing the

Dr. Shifren was very professional and friendly. He welcomed and answered all of my questions. I was quite anxious before the consultation, but he eased my worries and helped me to understand what I actually wanted to achieve. I felt comfortable prior to my procedure and was happy with my results which was a huge relief. The office in Koreatown, Los Angeles was very clean and the staff was very polite and kind. I would recommend visiting this location and working with Dr. Shifren!

First time at Wave Plastic surgery, i came in here for a Filler consultation. I was nervous since it was my first time doing any time of procedures. I met my consultant Candy who was very knowledgeable and super sweet. I then was greeted by Dr, Shifren who gave me a full assessment and recommended two fillers for my cheeks and chin. He injected some local medicine to ease the pain and i felt zero pain. I am so happy with my results !! I can't believe i took this long to get fillers done. I will definitely be coming to Wave.

Dr. Shifren is the most kindest, sweetest surgeon I have ever met. He is very intelligent and knows his stuff. He truly cares about his patients. I came to his Los Angeles office with some insecurities and he made me feel so comfortable. My results are amazing! The Wave Plastic Surgery Los Angeles also has great staff who helped me with the nerves. The OR team is amazing! You ladies are the very best. I am recommending all my friends to have surgery here because of the OR staff. Thank you Wave for everything. I am definitely waking up my inner beauty.
