Plastic Surgery Testimonials from Patients of Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Agha

Abdominoplasty, Brazilian Buttock Lift, Body Contouring, Breast Augmentation, and Breast Lift by Kristina P. on 02/03/2008

I had a total body contour done in August 2007 and a breast augmentation in December. Both surgeries went very well. I was up and about in 3 days. Dr. Agha had taken away the bulge in my belly (abdominoplasty) and rolls of fat off my back (Liposuction) and restored my self-esteem. He made me look and feel so lovely and alive. Before my surgery, I was always frightened of needles, blood, cuts, or anything associated with scalpels but Dr. Agha took that fear away, too. Consequently, I am scheduled to have a rhinoplasty done next month and a facelift in May. Dr. Agha is truly a professional in his field, who works the extra mile to give his patients the best possible care and satisfaction. The Pro-Care (pre and post surgery supplement) made the healing process so fast that I did not experience any discomfort.

At first, I was a bit apprehensive about the supplement, but it turned out that it really worked. My surgery experience was fearless. Dr. Agha and his staff made me feel so relaxed and at ease the moment I stepped in the office. During my consultation, I talked to Dr. Agha about everything as if I’d known him all my life. We discussed all the possible solutions and options to best solve my problem. If you are looking for the best plastic surgeon who is, not only Board certified, but also a connoisseur with artistic vision in reconstructive surgery, Dr. Agha is the name you want to remember. BELIEVE ME! You will get the outcome that you are expecting (and then some) with Dr. Agha. I was absolutely rejuvenated, physically and mentally. Dr. Agha and his staff made me feel so special that I now believe it myself.

Every time I look in the mirror, I admire this body that Dr. Agha has sculpted into perfection. I love my body and the doctor. who gave it to me. You would love him too if you let him do your reconstructive surgery. So, call him now. My personal thanks to Dr. Agha and his staff at Hurwitz Center. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I had been searching for just the right doctor for quite some time. I live in Arizona and went to Dr. Agha’s website. He contacted me within 24 hours, and over the phone, spent time in explaining every procedure and option to me. After that phone call, even before seeing him in person, I had made the decision to have Dr. Agha do my surgery. He had made me feel more at ease with my decisions than any of the other doctors had. On my first visit to Dr. Agha, my feelings were confirmed. His office is very professional, his staff excellent, and his overall bedside manner is great! He was honest and thorough in his examination and his suggestions and made me feel even more at ease with my decision. Even being an out-of-state patient, it was not difficult to make the decision to have Dr. Agha perform my surgery. When I arrived in Pittsburgh, I was treated with the utmost care by the doctor and his staff. There was someone available 24 hours a day to answer any questions I had, and even after returning home, they were always there. I did not feel that any question was a stupid question when I called (and I’m sure several of them were pretty stupid!). I am returning to Dr. Agha to do a revision and to also have some other enhancements completed. I would not choose another doctor to help me with my transformation! Thank you, Dr. Agha and staff (Shayna and Johanna especially)!

Breast Augmentation Revision/Reconstruction by Jessica R. E. on 2/17/2008

In 2002 at the age of 18, I decided I wanted a breast lift. I was 5′3, 110 pounds, and my chest was a sagging 34C. So, I had two consultations and decided on the doctor I thought could fulfill my desire. The doctor I chose told me I would get the best results if I chose to undergo surgery for breast implants because they would enhance me more naturally, and there would be less scarring… and so I agreed, deciding on saline implants and six months after surgery I was a sagging 34D. I could not believe that he considered himself one of Pittsburgh’s finest cosmetic surgeons, telling his patients he works on supermodels.

Anyways, I was working in a hospital as a Medical Assistant on the post-operative floor and began caring for patients of Dr. Agha’s. I first thought these people are crazy because of my history with plastic surgery. But as time went on, I realized that he was a damn good surgeon, he was a perfectionist, and was flawless in each and every surgery he performed. Dr. Agha’s patients were always happy with their results, and they traveled from all over to have him as their doctor. I began some research of my own, and the articles I read about him were exceptional. So, not only did I see his work firsthand, but I was able to hear about the experience from his patients, and I knew about Dr. Agha’s medical background.

In 2007, I finally had enough courage to tell Dr. Agha about my problem. I explained how I had previous breast augmentation, and in 2006, I had my daughter, which caused even more sagging. I noticed the implants had rippled, causing some pain. Dr. Agha called his office and made me an appointment. I was looking forward to the consultation but was nervous having to show the part of my body I was most embarrassed about. When I arrived to the office, the atmosphere was both elegant and comfortable. The staff was friendly yet professional. During my consultation, Dr. Agha explained what he would have to do in order to correct my breasts. He explained the procedures in detail and the risks involved. Dr. Agha is an outstanding communicator. He took the time to understand what I wanted and addressed my concerns. He made me feel completely at ease. When I made the decision to go ahead with the procedures, I felt absolutely confident to be under his care. He asked me to go back to my previous cosmetic surgeon, who I have now discovered not to be a PLASTIC SURGEON to see what advice he would give me. His response was: sometimes this happens and to fix my breasts would cost around $7000.00. I could not believe he had the nerve to actually think I would allow him to perform surgery on me again to fix his mistake. I relayed the message to Dr. Agha, and he didn’t seem surprised. I think he
wanted to show me the kind of surgeon I chose: an arrogant ass.

The first procedure I had to undergo with Dr. Agha was implant removal. He then had me wait four weeks before breast augmentation to allow my skin to shrink. The four weeks passed, and it was clear how much damage the previous implants did by not being placed properly. I soon had surgery for breast augmentation. This time I chose silicone gel-filled implants. When Dr. Agha first revealed my breasts, I was speechless. I loved them and him for doing such a wonderful job. Dr. Agha explained that my breasts might sag some after the swelling went down because there was so much skin. After several months, I went back to the office. My breasts did pull the incision around the nipples, making the scar wider then he liked. So, he decided to perform a revision of the scars and planned to tighten the skin. The results once again were amazing; they even surprised him. I have not completely healed, but I know the results will be fantastic.

I want to express my appreciation of his excellence. It has been my good fortune to have had such an excellent doctor for my, unfortunately, numerous surgeries/procedures in the past year. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and his follow-up care. I will definitely refer anyone and everyone considering plastic surgery to Dr. Agha. This being a word of advice for future patients hoping for a speedy recovery: protein, protein, protein!! Dr. Agha: he is the man.

Breast Reconstruction by W.T. on 03/01/2008

My name is Wendy, and I am a breast cancer survivor. In January of 2006, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. At the time I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy. I was so preoccupied by surviving that I didn’t give a lot of thought to how not having breasts would make me feel – I no longer felt like a woman. I didn’t want my husband to see me. As a matter of fact, I encouraged him to leave because of what was ahead. Thank God he didn’t. It was very hard to move on when every time I looked in the mirror I saw a cancer patient, not someone who had breast cancer. After going through a period of feeling sorry for myself, I knew if I wanted my life back, I had to fight. That’s when I started researching my options regarding reconstruction. I also was fortunate enough to have several relatives who had surgeries performed by Dr. Agha and Dr. Hurwitz.

Through my research and personal recommendations, I felt very confident in contacting Dr. Agha for a consultation. I was met with a feeling of hope and confidence
that they would do everything possible to restore my breasts. Because of my radiation treatments, my options were limited and a more complicated procedure needed to be done. Dr. Agha took tissue from my back and made flaps for the insertion of expanders on each side. It was a very long and complicated surgery (approximately 10 hours), and my body could have rejected the tissue and not accepted the blood flow if it were not for the tedious, painstaking measures Dr. Agha took. Fortunately the surgery was a success. I have had several surgeries since then to insert the implants, revisions, and creating an areola and nipple. Dr. Agha is a perfectionist, which is exactly why I chose to go there in the first place. I believe I have one more minor surgery to perfect my right breast, then I will have the area tattooed, and I will be done!!! To sum things up, Dr. Agha along with his staff are very compassionate doctors and people with the knowledge and skill to care for patients. HE GAVE ME BACK MY WOMANHOOD, and I will never forget how he has changed my life.
