“I look amazing!”
My experience at Dr. M. Sofonio’s office:
He is deeply knowledgeable and skilled at his craft and profession. He is gifted in aesthetics and is a master. He truly understands what a man wants for this transformation.
Yes, he disappeared ¼ to 1/3 of the years off of my appearance. Yet he knows that men want to look like a man after the procedures. I look and feel more energetic and younger, but know I look naturally undetectable and appropriate. I feel recharged and more likely to enjoy rafting

“Saw Nurse Shirley for Juvederm and Botox! She is truly the BEST!”
I've been seeing Nurse Shirley for 10+ years and have recommended several friends to her for treatment. She is by-far the best injector in the valley. The front office staff are excellent with customer service. While the whole staff is professional and efficeint, I have to give a "shout-out" to Sheila. She is always so helpful and caring.

“Outstanding Car and Beautiful Results”
Dr. Sofonio removed my encapsulated breast implants, replaced them with new implants, and performed an areolar crescent lift. I couldn’t be happier with the results. My breasts now look amazing—natural, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. His surgical skill and attention to detail truly show in the outcome.

“Great Surgeon”
Dr. Sofonio is a great surgeon!! I had a complete face lift upper and mid plus a neck lift and my eyes done. I am completely satisfied and my results are fantastic! Dr Sofonio takes his time and does a wonderful job. Big plus he also has experience with burn patients and knows how to handle skin. I have gone to Beverly Hills and orange county before. But so glad I found him. Driving back and forth all the time wears you out. I would like to mention his staff who are friendly, compassionate
