Ellenbogen, Richard, Md - Beverly Hills Body

I think Dr Ellenbogen does the best noses in Los angeles. I was at a shower for my girlfriend in her mothers house. There were pictures of her as a teenager. She had a huge nose and a small chim. I never knew she had a nose job. I kept looking at her profile and it was perfect like a cameo.I asked her and she was not ashamed of it and told me it was Ellenbogen.I looked over at her sister who also had too good a nose for a person of middle eastern heritage. ""Ellenbogen I asked?"" Yes she answered.\r He has operated on our whole family.I actually went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror at my nose. more

Doctor Ellenbogen showed me on the computer how I""d look with a buccal lipectomy (chubby cheeks operation) and fat grafting to my cheekbones and wrinkles.It is almost 3 years later and my cheekbones he gave me with fat grafting are if I say so myself amazing.How he makes the fat last is a secret he says then again he has done thousands and thousands. I think it is something with activating the stem cells but I'm not sure.My girlfriends mother had fat grafting by another doctor and it was gone she says in six weeks.I recommended Dr. Ellenbogen and he redid her and she looks 10 years younger than her age.Expeience counts. more

My neck is amazing. I googled neck specialist and found Dr. Ellenbogen invented a neck tightening operation 20 years ago that every doctor tries to duplicate.In fact I asked my ENT who does a good neck lift and he told me Ellenbogen.I saw him fixing bad plastic surgery on Prime Time and this lady he fixed was just like me.He is a true artist.I am 45 my neck looks like 25. He performed an ""incisionless facelift ""on me where he tightens the muscles and removes the fat of the neck an lifts the face by injecting my own fat in varios areas without cutting around the ears. I've never been a cougar but Im considering it I look so good more

Notice all of the bogus 5 star reviews recently written for Dr. Ellenbogen. There are 7 five star reviews in 2 days. Really? And each reviewer only has 1 post/review only. Something is totally skeptical about all of these 5 star reviews. And I had a terrible consultation with Dr. Ellenbogen's so-called specialist, Deborah Canter. Deborah Canter is rude, disrespectful, and raised her voice at me. I will not be back. more

Don't let his false advertising fool you; you will not get your money's worth. I paid a pretty penny ($15K) for horrible results. Save your money and don't put yourself through the emotional trauma; this arrogant jerk will take your money in the most dishonest way you can think off -yes, while you are at your most vulnerable! If you want an ugly nose and are into being ripped-off then look no further. more

I don't often give feedback on services or write reviews, however for this one time I'll make an exception. I'm very pleased Dr. Ellenbogen with the work you did on me. Getting my nose and lips done seemed extremely complicated but your attention to detail and patience was very comforting and made the entire process seem so simple . I'm very happy with my results and if I ever need more work done you can squeeze me in your tight schedule.\r Carol Bellson\r more

I would have to commend Dr. Ellenbogen and his staff. I found them pleasant and easy to talk with. Dr. Ellenbogen is an expert in his field, he was able to answer all my questions before the operation and he explained it thoroughly leaving no detail out. If you're looking for reassurance Dr. Ellenbogen is the cosmetic surgeon for you. Iline Kline more

I found the reviews from Dr. Ellenbogen's patients to very useful. His solid reputation is why I flew in from San Francisco to have Dr. Ellenbogen do my face lift. Thank you Dr. Ellenbogen for the excellent results. My procedure was quick, hassle free, and I felt at ease in your hands at all times. \r Janet Bissenett in SF\r more

I too had the privileged to experience having a procedure done by Dr. Ellenbogen. I was quite impressed with Dr. Ellenbogen. He meticulously explains to his patients the procedure to be performed , and sets the right expectations . Regardless of your professional background, he shows you that he really cares about his patients, and charges at an affordable rate. Now I know where to direct my patients if they're interested.\r Beverly Hills Body \r more

Recently I felt as though people barely noticed me …even my husband tended to be too busy to spend time with me. Then I found Dr. Ellenbogen and consulted him about having a cosmetic tune up. My nose came first, which everyone complemented and asked ""wow who did your nose job?"", then I had my breasts done. Dr. Ellenbogen did such a great job on them, that now my husband can’t keep his hands off of me . If I need any other cosmetic procedures, I know exactly who to go to. …Thanks Dr. Ellenbogen!

My experience with Dr. Ellenbogen was superb. Getting my nose job was one of the best decisions I have made personally and professionally. Being a guy, we normally don't undergo these procedures, but since I'm in the entertainment industry, looking good is a must, and that is why I chose Dr. Ellenbogen. Dr. Ellenbogen was very accommodating and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process from our initial consultations all the way through our post procedure follow ups. So for guys who want to look better, don’t be shy ….contact Dr. Ellenbogen!\r Charles Riley\r more

Dr. Ellenbogen was actually recommended to me by a colleague from work, she gave me great feedback about the doctor’s services. I've always wanted to get a nose job, the only problem is I was never comfortable with the actual procedure. Dr. Ellenbogen changed all that for me, by explaining the procedure in great detail in language that I could understand and he provided before and after visuals which in my mind turned a dream into a reality. Most importantly he demonstrated that he really knew what he was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Ellenbogen to anyone considering getting a nose job. Catherine McPherson more

It took me awhile but I was able to save enough money for a bust enlargement. Likewise, shopping for an affordable and high quality plastic surgeon wasn't easy either. But when I found Dr. Ellenbogen I knew then and there that I had hit the jackpot. Not only were his professional fees affordable, but he and his staff really took care of me, it was as if I was staying at a Five Star hotel. Dr. Ellenbogen even does follow up calls just to make sure everything went well with the procedure. Thanks Dr. Ellenbogen, you're the best. Judy D. more

A couple of years ago I gave birth to my first child, and little did I know how difficult it would be to lose my bulging tummy. Then I found Dr. Ellenbogen. He took the time to provide a thorough education on the procedure of undergoing a tummy tuck. Dr. Ellenbogen clearly laid out the pros and cons of the operation which made my decision easy. Having gone forward with the operation I now feel really good about myself. All I can say is if there is one cosmetic surgeon I'd trust my appearance, it's Dr. Ellenbogen. Susan A. more

I read the reviews for Dr. Richard Ellenbogen and was very surprised. I had gone to see him about the same time; Spring and early Summer of 2009. ??I had interviewed many, *many* doctors to perform my breast reduction surgery. My husband's business was struggling financially  (as was every business owner) so cost was a deciding factor during my search. Here is what I used as my criteria: ?-Cost (out of my pocket)?-Accepted my insurance ?-The doctor had to have ""before"" and ""after"" pictures of actual patients they performed the same surgery on, and available for me to view.  - Doctor Ellenbogen showed me on the computer what I would look like.??After interviewing about 5 doctors in person (I did phone interviews and also web research), I had selected Dr. Richard Ellenbogen to perform my surgery. Here is why:?I could see immediately that he was meticulous. When I reviewed his portfolio with him, he could recount in fantastic detail each one of his surgeries. I remember remarking on one patient's results as ""incredible"", as it was obvious that she was suffering considerably from the size of her breasts in the ""before"" photo. He agreed on the medical points, but he immediately noted how many cc's he removed from each breast during the procedure and how many cc's he would like to have taken out, and how it would have effected the contouring of her breasts.  I immediately knew I would be in that hands of a doctor who was passionate about the work. I was right and I'm passionate about the beautiful results. Thank you Doctor Ellenbogen Jody Sweeney more

I went to Dr. Richard Ellenbogen for breast augmentation and let me just say...he is AMAZING!??I was referred to him a few years back by a friend and did a consultation. I wasn't ready at the time but decided to meet with him this year since I was finally committed to finding a doctor. At first he felt that the best way to do it would be to go through the inframammary crease since I was doing a larger implant. I am about 5'8"" with an hourglass shape so I wanted something that would be fitting to my figure. I explained to him that I really did not want my incision to be this way and preferred to go through my underarm. Well, Dr. Ellenbogen did the incision where I wanted it. Let me tell you that this man is a genius! I could not be happier! My breasts are even, proportioned and absolutely beautiful!??I would trust Dr. Richard Ellenbogen with any surgery that I do. I did meet with other doctors for other consultations before I chose Dr. Richard Ellenbogen and I'm soo glad I chose to go with him! Patricia Jones more

As I walked into their beautiful lobby I was instantly transported into a world of wonderful hope and excitement.  The staff was and always has been A+.  From the receptionist that always makes sure you are aware of your appointments and greets you with a gorgeous smile to Susie, the patient coordinator, that melted my heart with her warmth and charm.  During my consultation Dr. Richard Ellenbogen was professional, precise, and displayed comforting beside manners. I am hands down extremely happy with the stem cell face lift procedure performed on me.  I will tell you that I have already recommended the Dr, Ellenbogen to a handful of friends.  We all look natural, and untouched.  Forever young.

Dr. Richard Ellenbogen is a great doctor, the office is absolutely beautiful, the staff is very friendly and attentive. I went there referred by my best friend, and what a great experience. Dr. Ellenbogen takes his time with you, he makes sure that all the questions you might have are answer. I visited at least six different doctors and ultimately he was the best choice for me. His prices might not be quite as accessible compare to other doctors, but he is worth it, besides when it comes to a plastic surgeon you don't want to go with a cheap one. Sharon A. more

I have to say before I met Dr Ellenbogen, I read every review on yelp and checked out the reviews of all of the other good plastic surgeons in Southern, California before meeting three doctors and deciding on Dr Ellenbogen. ??I found that Dr Ellenbogen and his staff are simply the best. Plus his work is impeccable. While I was recovering in the hospital from my tummy tuck surgery, all of the nurses made sure to tell me that Richard Ellenbogen is one of the best doctors that they have ever worked with. They credit him with utmost professionalism and so do I. My results are fantastic and whenever I see Dr Ellenbogen, I feel well cared for and know that I made a good choice.  Kathy Sperkowsy more

I went to Dr. Ellenbogen for a consultation about an eyelid surgery. Since I had a eyelid surgery in Europe about 10 years ago, I really needed resurgery. Through lots of good reviews about him and his education and experience, I called the office and made an appointment for a consultation.  I learned that he has written a number of books on eyelid surgery (both upper and lower). Getting rid of the bags above and below the eyes. The results were far better even than the first time I'd had it done. Thank you so much Dr. Ellenbogen. Don't hesitate to go and visit the most modern facility in Beverly Hills. Tina C. more
