Dr. Yngvar Alan Hvistendahl, MD

So it doesn’t matter where I leave a review because they all seem to be taken down. He must have really good connections and friends in high places. After having my second son I went to see Dr hvistendahl for a mommy makeover. I was supposed to get Lipo on my back but there was no change or difference. A breast lift but all he did was disfigure my areolas which ended up looking like huge octagons quilted onto my breast. And liposuction of my abdomen. The liposuction was a Wavy lumpy dented mess. With a giant dent on my right lower abdomen. 8,000 down the drain and having to live with a disfigured body. I always wondered if I triggered him in some way. Why would he do this to me? Thankfully I found the most caring and amazing surgeon that made me feel so welcome and cared for and he did a mini Tummy Tuck and breast lift and OMG I look amazing. I’m 20 pounds heavier and had a third child but his work still looks amazing. No believes me when I tell them that I have 3 kids. How long will… this review stay up before this “doctor” has it taken down?

Incredible doctor and office staff. Highly recommend. It is a joy to go there.

Putting a body together after losing 200 lbs is a challenge and I am so blessed to have found Dr. Hvistendahl and the staff here. This is an amazing place; incredible doctor, nurses and team! My first surgeries were 10 years ago and needed some tweaking, and I wanted to finish the process on my face, thighs and breasts. My surgeon test is to ask myself one question: Do I trust this person to stand over me with a knife while I am anesthetized? With Dr. Hvistendahl the answer is a resounding YES! He is an exceptional surgeon and a wonderful man and I am so glad to have him as a partner in the completion of my transformation. He ROCKS!

Do not go to this plastic surgeon. I went to this surgeon 4 years ago. I went in for an areola reduction and liposuction of the abdomen and one other ...

I had contemplated having a breast augmentation for years and began doing some research on-line of Bay Area surgeons. I found the website for Plastic Surgery Specialists and watched all of their videos. I was very impressed with Dr. Hvistendahl and could just tell he was the MD I wanted to consult to make this major decision once and for all. As soon as he walked in the door I could tell I was in the right place. He made me feel very comfortable with my long list of questions, most of which he answered before I even could get to with his thorough explaination of the procedure...He was very patient and did not make me feels pressured at all. The day of the surgery I was both nervous and excited. He spent as much time as I felt I needed to deal with my last minute concerns prior to the procedure, never making me feel rushed. He really seemed to understand the outcome I was looking for and I knew I could trust him. He was there when I came out of anesthesia, telling me how everything… went, and most importantly, showing me my new "ladies!" He telephoned me the night of the surgery to make sure I was doing fine and to answer any questions I might have. I am now three weeks post-op and thrilled with my results. I have had a couple follow up appointments, always being treated very well by the office staff and of course, Dr. Hvistendahl. I would hands-down recommend Dr. Hvistendahl to anyone out there, he will take as good of care of you as he did me, I could not be more pleased with the entire experience.
