I recently underwent a somewhat complicated breast augmentation revision surgery with Dr. Taghva, and I am beyond happy with my results! She expertly addressed an animation deformity from a previous surgery and worked to create beautiful symmetry in my breasts. From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease with Dr. Taghva. She has a comforting bedside manner, truly listened to all of my concerns, and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. During my recovery, she was attentive and kept a close watch on my progress, which made me feel even more confident in her care. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and highly recommend her!

Rarely leave reviews but I’m so happy. I went with Carol as my first ever injector and I’m so thankful I did. She took her time with the consult and procedure perfecting literally everything and bringing our combined vision to life. I went in wanting chin filler and we worked with 2 syringes. We used about 1.5 in my chin and about .25 in each cheek for the slightest volume restoration I had lost. I healed perfectly and she sculpted my face in the most symmetrical and perfect way possible. It looks so insanely natural yet she absolutely made the most with the amount of product she worked with; it made the biggest difference to my face. No one would be able to tell i had work if I didn’t constantly bring it up unprovoked. She is very much an artist and you very much get what you pay for. And on top of all of that it was just such incredible vibes I never felt nervous and I felt like she was understanding and envisioning what I was communicating so well that I didn’t have to worry about my outcome. Shes really talented, sweet, and it was just giggles and good vibes the whole way through. On top of all of that, she herself is really pretty and doesn’t look enhanced at all which is really important when picking an injector when you want natural results. I unfortunately see too many handsome squidwards that never went under the needle with that intent. Sorry for the essay but I literally flew to see her so I’m going to get my ramble in <3

I have been with Dr. Taghva over six months since Jan 2024 and wanted to give a thorough review, history, and experience with Dr. Taghva and LEA Plastic Surgery.

I wanted to perform a Lower Blepharoplasty surgery in order remove my excessive fat deposits under both my eyelids but was afraid on WHO and WHERE to perform this surgery. Based on my exhausting research, I have concluded that there is NO non-invasive procedure that can remove the fat deposits under my eyes which was confirmed with numerous plastic surgeons. This being the case, my final decision was to choose a doctor who made me feel comfortable and was meticulous in their practice. After many consultations with numerous doctors, I chose Dr. Taghva.

Pros:
1) No consultation fee (ALL others wanted to charge me $250-500 per consultation).
2) During my initial video call, Dr. Taghva was patient and took the time in explaining my current skin concern and answered ALL my questions (which was a LOT) since I was nervous and never had any cosmetic surgery before.
3) No pressure or sales pitch from Dr. Taghva
4) I could tell Dr. Taghva was genuinely engaged and qualified to handle my skin concerns and remedies (remove fat deposits, reduce hyper-pigmentation, unevenness skin tone, reduce wrinkles, youthful look, etc).
5) Dr. Taghva was genuinely confident in handling my needs in order to get my final outcome and results.
6) Extensive medical background and education (a MUST for me)
7) Actual surgery room was literally next door to her office in the same building (all inclusive medical support and procedure). A major plus and a MUST for me.
8) On the day of my surgery, I had more questions and concerns, but she answered all of them to put me at ease. I truly felt comfortable.
9) Dr. Taghva's staff was friendly, professional, and supportive.
10) Post surgery and follow-up call was an amazing experience since I was not expecting this.
11) Environment was extremely clean, refreshing, and calm experience
12) No scarring or complications after surgery other than swelling and bruising which was informed to me prior to surgery
13) My recovery was minimal (approx. 2-3 weeks) since I took Dr. Taghva's advice religiously
14) Additional benefit of having a Lower Blepharoplasty surgery with Dr. Taghva was that she was able to perform at the same time a slight lower eye lift to reduce my lower eye wrinkles (no extra charge).
15) Huge improvements & results after my surgery. My friends could not believe that I had eye surgery and commented that I looked younger and refreshed. No one could see any surgery complications or issues other than the stitches and slight bruising after one week.

Cons:
NONE

Neutral:
Only wished Dr. Taghva was located closer to me but definitely worth the drive.

Other Procedures/Services:
After my surgery I was extremely enthused in solving and addressing my hyper-pigmentation, unevenness skin tone, reduce wrinkles, youthful look, etc. but wanted to incorporate the best "laser type" procedure for my concerns and condition but did NOT want micro-needling. Dr. Taghva suggested and recommended BBL (BroadBand Light) and MOXI Laser in combination with a medical grade daily skin care routine (ZO) for BEST results.

Dr. Taghva highly recommended ZO Skincare in order to achieve amazing results in combination with BBL and Moxi Laser. She also informed me that she has all the current machines and equipment in the industry but recommended BBL and Moxi Laser for me while using ZO skincare everyday.

After my 2nd BBL and Moxi Laser treatment including my daily ZO skincare routine, my face has taken a 360 degree change and hasn't looked this good in over 15+ years (see pics). I am currently 55 years old and have used several OTC brands of skincare (Korean beauty, retinol, chemical peels, etc) for the past 15 years with little or minimal results. Nothing seemed to work as well as ZO. Results with ZO for 6+ months was way more effective than 15 years of OTC brands (wasted money for the last 15 years on other brands).

I highly recommend Dr. Taghva and her staff.

I had my double eyelid surgery along with ptosis repair and medial canthoplasty with Dr. Taghva on July of 2021.

I am now about 1 year and half post op and wanted to share my full experience. As you can see by my photos, the results truly speak for themselves. I trusted Dr. Taghva with her expertise and knowledge to deliver a result that would be best suited for me facial features , and it is something she truly excels at. Dr. Taghva along with all of her staff including Donna were incredibly warm and welcoming to me every step of the way. Believe me, they will take amazing care of prior and after your surgery. I felt supported every step of the way which is crucial when deciding to go through with surgery.

Her office and the surgical center are some of the cleanest facilities you will ever see, not to mention impeccably decorated. I will let the results speak for themselves and if you are considering Dr. Taghva, believe me when I tell you that you will be in the best hands. She truly changed my life and I am in love with the results of my double eyelid surgery every single day.

The facials and laser skin treatments at Lea Plastic Surgery have really improved the texture and clarity of my skin. It’s hard to believe that it’s been only a few months post laser (Moxi & bbl); followed by a series of monthly facials with Wynn. I am impressed with how quickly and effectively my new skincare regimen is progressing. I trust everyone here with my beauty needs, there is no push to try new products or services. I am also relieved to have finally found a place to get facials to keep my skin clear without irritation. I highly recommend Dr. Taghva and her staff!!!

I’ve gotten lip filler here twice with Carol, and my lips always come out beautifully! Carol is so sweet and listens to the lip goals or concerns you may have. She does an amazing job at creating the desired shape/fullness, while still respecting the anatomy of the lips and making it look natural. Everyone here is always very nice and welcoming. I always have a wonderful experience here at LEA plastic surgery!

I love, love this place. Fair pricing for the level of service delivered and top quality products / technicians. Donna the front lady is always so friendly and warm. Having a great office team is sometimes overlooked at other establishments but this office got it right!
I also love Jenny the RN! I am not new to Botox or fillers, but I have never had a better experience than the one I had with Jenny. She is very knowledgeable, gentle with the needle and understands the look you want to achieve. I would strongly recommend you seeing her. She also does not try and up sell. I will be coming back for all my aesthetic procedures. Thank you Jenny! You are heaven sent! Already looking forward to my next appointment in a few months!

I have had a few lasers done with Kory and she has been AMAZING! She’s sweeet, is patient answering all my questions and does such a thorough job and I love my results!

Also facials with Wynn are the best! They are relaxing and my skin is glowing!!
