DISAPPOINTING RESULTS

by GJP11

Dr. Friedenthal performed liposuction and breast augmentation on my wife in 2007. All of the following is in my opinion only, and not to be confused as statements of fact. I am sure Dr. Friedenthal has many happy patients, and we are the exception. He positioned the breast implant pockets too high up on her chest, especially for a young woman, and they do not hang correctly as a result. The right breast is higher than the other. The liposuction results included an overwhelming number of unexpected flaws. Unfortunately, he removed fat from her posterior (upper rear) thighs, an area he was not even supposed to touch. This apparently caused her buttocks to sag and created a deeper crease beneath them. He also squared off her hips, rather than maintaining the curve. He created a flat spot on the underside of her left buttock. He used ?Vaser? technology, which may have been overkill for her petite 98 pound body. This created deep scar tissue in her left buttock, and her right outer thigh - which now has ugly ripples when she sits. She also gained lumpiness in her previously smooth buttocks. Other very reputable surgeons whom examined her concluded that the flaws could have been avoided, and could not be fully corrected. Revision surgery has not resolved most of the flaws in my wife's altered figure.

• Pros: Doctor and staff are very pleasant and patient
• Cons: Bad results, deeply regret chosing this surgeon

Dr. Roger Friedenthal is best plastic surgeon in SF

by Lowlah

Ditto to everything all the other reviewers have written about him. He is patient and thorough. One of the best things about him is that he NEVER, EVER tries to sell you to get other procedures done that you didn't even ask about! I love this about him--you can ask him about about having a procedure and he'll tell whether or not it will be worth it. I recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants to have work done!

• Pros: He's the best!
• Cons: None at all

Dr.Friedenthal is the BEST

by Alika123

I had rhinoplasty done by Dr.Friedenthal about a year ago. The results are amazing and I could not be happier.

After recommending him to couple of friends of mine for the same procedure there results came out just terrific as mine. He is truly the best plastic surgeon out there.

• Pros: very professional
• Cons: absolutely none
