I recommend this office!

I had a breast augmentation in 2005. Having never had any type of cosmetic surgery before, I was extremely selective in choosing a surgeon. Of all the places I visited, five or six others, The Bougainvillea Clinique was the only one that I felt comfortable with immediately. I had many questions and they were able to answer all of them. The whole process happened exactly how it was explained. The first surgery has done wonders for my self-confidence and I am already planning for another surgery soon.

I love this product line!

I have spent thousands of dollars at the dermatologist. My face was so bad from stress I thought that I would never look the same again. Now, since I have been using the Obagi products, it has made an amazing difference in my face. I love this product line and I will never use anything else.

Down a size

As I got older I realized no matter how much exercised or healthy eating I did, there were still areas of fat that would not go away. When my favorite pair of jeans started to give me a "muffin top" I realized I needed to do something about it that would give more rewarding results. After consulting with Dr. Hartog, I knew that liposuction with SmartLipo was going to give me back the figure I used to have. Five months later I am thrilled and actually went down a size! Thanks Dr. H!

Now, I feel whole again

The amount of breast tissue I had, left me feeling less confident as a woman. Just the thought of tucking my breasts into my bra in order to make it fit, made me feel so embarrassed. Now after my breast augmentation and breast lift, I feel whole again. I can walk proudly with my chin up and my head held high, the way a real woman is suppose to feel.

I made my decision to go forward

For many years I had the desire to have breast augmentation surgery. Finally, I made my decision to go forward and see my desires realized. I chose The Bougainvillea Clinique through a referral from a friend. Dr. Hartog and his staff were very helpful, informative and very professional. They treated me with courtesy and respect. I would recommend Dr. Hartog to anyone considering having breast augmentation.

This has been a life changing experience for me!

My first procedure of abdominoplasty and second procedure of liposuction was such a success. Thanks to Dr. Hartog and his expertise, I feel and look great! This has been a life changing experience for me. It has changed the way I see my self image. I have more self -confidence and I'm no longer afraid to show off my body. I have no regrets!

Impressed with his work!

I was very pleased with my breast augmentation surgery. The procedure itself only took about 45 minutes to an hour. Dr. Hartog is awesome! He is very skilled and I am impressed with his work. I feel so good now that I have my new "additions". My confidence has sky rocketed since my surgery and I'm really happy!

OBAGI skincare products

After years of baking in the sun, my skin suffered so much sun damage . Since I've been using the OBAGI skincare products, most of the dark spots have lightened up and my skin tone has evened out. The staff at the clinic check my skin on a regular basis and I am very happy with the results.

From saline to silicone!

I had my first Breast Augmentation (saline implants) with Dr. Hartog in 2004 and was very happy with the results. In 2007, I exchanged the saline implants to silicone gels. I am thrilled, my breast feel so natural and I have no rippling. Dr. Hartog's staff is amazing, they always make me feel so comfortable. Thanks Dr. Hartog, I love my breasts.

Refreshed and younger

Dr. Hartog performed my Quicklift (lower facelift) in 2007. I couldn't be happier with my results. I look more refreshed and younger even though the changes were subtle. The most important thing to me in having plastic surgery was to look like I hadn't. Dr. Hartog did that for me! The staff is outstanding and I would definitely do it again.

Great migraine relief!

I started getting Botox for relief from migraine headaches. It works great and I received an added bonus, no more lines and wrinkles. I look and feel better. The gals and Michelle are great, I do not know how I lived without them! Thanks!!

Breast Augmentation at 48 years old!

I am very pleased with the overall results of my breast augmentation. At my age (48) I was slightly worried about the procedure and recovery. I was pleasantly surprised how easy both were for ME! Dr. Hartog certainly is very skilled and a great surgeon!

A lot of research

This has been a wonderful experience. I did a lot of research before choosing The Bougainvillea Clinique for my breast augmentation. Dr. Hartog is excellent and the staff is great, especially Bronwyn. She made me feel very comfortable.

Wonderful job with Botox and fillers

My experience with the clinic has been wonderful. The staff is very friendly, always willing to help and answer questions with complete knowledge.
They do a wonderful job with Botox and fillers. They always make an effort not to bruise me. I love my perlane filler, it lasts a long time for me and with no side effects. I will never go to another office for treatments, I love it here!!

Rarely found

Having received skin care in Los Angeles, I can not say enough about the level of professionalism and care I have received from the staff at The Bougainvillea Clinique! The commitment to personal attention and really listening to patients and their needs and desires in cosmetic care is rarely found, even in L.A.!

One of the best doctors!

To begin with, I was a little concerned about the surgery, but when I came to the clinic for the first time I felt like I had known the staff for a long time. Everyone was very polite, nice, and professional. When I met Doctor Jeffrey I knew from the bottom of my heart that is he is one of the best doctors that I have ever met! He explained to me very clearly what i really needed with concern to my age and body type. I had a complete tour and met the entire staff before the consultation was over. On the day of surgery, 6 weeks ago, everyone was determined to make the process easier. When I woke up from my surgery, I looked at myself in the mirror and I felt like a completely different person. Now, from a size 9-10, I fit in a size 5. Of course, now that my figure has changed, it is a matter of continuing to take care of myself... keep a good diet and exercise. Thank you Doctor Jeffrey!!!

To every woman

I am very pleased with my surgery. If I had known the procedure was not as painful and complicated like other people described it as, I would have done it a long time ago! The doctor is excellent as well as the staff at the clinic. The pain was minimal for ME and the result is great. I am very pleased and feel good about my body. I recommend this to every woman who wants to look better!
