Dr. Michael Cedars, MD

Very poor experience with neck lift--had to repeat operation twice followe by extensive repair. Needs to retire.

Very very skilled. Very attentive to the patient before, during, and after surgery. Conservative. Great staff. You can not do better -full stop.

It's been 12 years since Michael Cedars performed a number of cosmetic surgical procedures upon me in one day . One of which was a breast lift...no implants...no reductions...just a simple lift. His breast lift procedures on both of my breasts resulted in a mutilation...not once...but twice, when one month after he mangled the first surgery...he performed a second surgery and attempted to undo or make "corrections" where he'd grossly failed in the first procedure, leaving both breasts without sensation.. Over the years, I've consulted with a number of highly reputable, respected, skilled and high profile plastic surgeons with specialties in various procedures involving the breast.......and each concluded independently of one another, after examining me, that the severity of the damage created by Michael Cedars could not be corrected. So, for over 4,380 days...and for the rest of my life, as I get in and out of the shower...as I dress and undress...I am forced to see … my mutilated breasts and at the same time, think of Michael Cedars as a butcher who cause irreparable damage to my body.. I am now married to a wonderfully loving and supportive husband, whom I will not allow see me without clothes or touch my breasts. He's terribly supportive and tells me that he understands.. But the truth is that unless someone's had a similar experience they can never fully appreciate or understand the devastating and permanent psychological impact and the depth of the sense of betrayal and violation by Michael Cedars, a physician in whom I placed my trust and the adverse emotional consequences created by his mutilation, has had upon me and has not diminished in over 12 years. For 4,380 days when I look at myself in shame and an self element of hatred...as if what I consider a brutal assault happened yesterday and it was my fault. The saying goes that you can't take anything with you when you die...but for the remainder of my life my mutilated breasts and Michael Cedars will be with me for an eternity.

Dr. Cedars has been my daughters surgeon since she was born and has repaired her bilateral cleft lip and palate beautifully after numerous surgeries. He is very caring and kind and takes his time to explain each procedure and dedicates himself fully to each patient. I couldnt be more happy with his professionalism, service and bedside manner. This is why I also have used his services to remove a cyst from my arm, which was a simple in office procedure.
