Joseph A. Mele III, MD

Two years ago, I had a rhinoplasty. I waited long enough hoping that the result would be better. I am really sad, disappointed, seeing myself and feeling completely unsatisfied. I feel that the change he made was not sufficient. I placed complete trust in his experience and left everything in his hands. There is not a night that goes by where I wish I could change time and start over from that day when I began the process.

I had an otoplasty (ear pinning) surgery done by Dr. Mele and a year later I'm still pleased with the results. During my initial consultation Dr. Mele took his time to thoroughly explain the procedure to me and answer all my questions. I felt comfortable talking to Dr. Mele and well taken care of during the entire process, pre-surgery appointments; surgery day; and subsequent follow up appointments. I had spent several months researching plastic surgeons before I settled on Dr. Mele and I couldn't be happier with the patient care I received.

Dr. Mele's expertise in the field made me feel very comfortable to move forward with the otoplasty that I had been dreaming of getting done for many years now. I researched many plastic surgeons in my area, (Sacramento) but realized most of them only focused on butt lifts and breast. I needed someone that focused on otoplasty and had plenty of experience. I found Dr. Mele after typing "highest rated plastic surgeons in the bay area", and after reading all the awesome reviews from previous clients, I decided to book my own consultation. During the appointment, I noticed he was very passionate about doing this type of procedures, and he told me he was doing multiple otoplasties every month. That gave me the confidence to go ahead and schedule my procedure. His staff was also very accommodating, and they walked me through the whole process step by step. The surgery was a complete success, only took about an hour and a half, and the recovery time was about a month. I was super happy to see… the results once we took off the bandages, and knew was going to look even better after the bruising disappeared. It has been exactly a year since my surgery, and to this day, I am completely satisfied and delighted by his work. I used to be very self-conscious about my protruding ears as a teen, and even as a young adult, and now that I'm 28 years old, I wish I would have done this sooner. I am so confident to speak in public settings, I am more social around others, and especially feel like a normal person as I no longer have to feel self-conscious and assume that people see me as the guy with the big ears. Now, I cut my hair more often, I style it and feel extremely confident to take pictures, meet other people and just live a more fulfilling life. I hope Dr. Mele understands how his work affects the people that he helps, and how he has given me the opportunity to live a new life where I no longer feel like people are judging me for my appearance. people tell me that I'm a good looking man all the time, and that is something that I'm still getting used to.

I’m very happy with the result of my surgery Dr Mele did an excellent job, He and his Team are very professional and friendly.

I have had two procedures with Dr. Mele, my second of which was a breast reduction. I had been waiting for five years to find an exceptional surgeon and when I found Dr. Mele, I knew I was in the right hands. He was patient, kind and completely walked me through all of my options prior to making a decision. I'm two months post op and I couldn't be happier with the results. It has changed my life. I would recommend him to anyone- he is amazing.

So happy with my results! My friend referred me and told me about Dr Mele being updated with current literature, and kind throughout all the aspects of preparation and post op. I went in with realistic expectation and was treated kindly and supported by him and his staff. Very professional and extremely pleased with every part of my interaction with him and his office. The surgery center was amazing as well and I truly am so thankful for my results and the entire process. Surgery in general is not an exciting process, but it truly makes a difference when the doctor (Dr Mele) and his team are there to help make your experience so much easier Definitely recommend for his skills and his knowledge!

Dr. Mele and his staff are fantastic. The results from my face lift exceeded all expectations . I highly recommend Dr. Mele.

Dr. Mele is an exceptionally caring and gifted plastic surgeon.
