Plastic Surgery Institute of Southern California - Dr. Edward Terino

Dr. Terino performed a midface lift, nose surgery and eyelift for me in 1996. My nose looks completely natural, my midface lift gave me back my youthful cheeks, and has stayed. My experience with Dr. Terino has always been nice. He spent a lot of time with me explaining my surgery before hand and his after care was excellent. I recently visited the new office and will be having a neck tightening procedure with him in a few months. I highly recommend this highly skilled surgeon. more

Dr Terino is wonderful, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, highly qualified plastic surgeon. I recently went in for a face lift. Dr. Terino and his staff made the entire experience so comfortable from start to finish, thank you for the incredible experience and wonderful results! more

I saw Dr. Terino's ad on Facebook and was impressed with his work. I contacted him and he asked me to send pictures of myself so he could tell me how he could improve my look. I mentioned to him that I am HIV+ along with the pictures an never heard back from him again. Two weeks later I called his office and the receptionist looked up my email and told me that it is not possible to put implants in an HIV+ person due to complications that can arise. I mentioned that I am undetectable and very healthy but that didn't make a difference. I still didn't get any response. This is bogus information because I've spoken to other plastic surgeons and they told me that as long as I am healthy and undetectable there is no likelihood of any complications. I cannot believe that in this day and age there is discrimination and ignorance from doctors, especially one that has so many certifications and graduated from an Ivy League school such as Yale. I don't think I would want a doctor that thinks like this to work on me anyway, but I thought I should make others aware of this doctor's demeanor and let you decide if you want someone with this kind thinking to work on you. The receptionist told me he would get back to me in a couple of days and he never got back to me and its been over 3 days now. At this point I don't expect to be contacted by him at all. I felt hurt and it left me feeling discriminated against because of my HIV status. more

i saw doctor for cheek augmentation and he was great at explaining to me the different types of implants that in fact he had designed and made. The office staff were very profressional and the doctor was extremely knowledgeable. I think that I am going to have my cheek implants here. more

My cheeks are what I call blunt. I have a round face but no cheeks. I really hate it then I decided to save up money, so I can afford to have a cheek augmentation. I checked all possible doctors who can deliver what I want and Dr. Terino topped my list. I went to their clinic for consultation and I was surprised to see a lot of famous people there too. That gave me confident on him. I didn't wait that long. We met and talked about what I want. He took a picture and gave me a state-of-the-art imaging if I will have the cheek augmentation. I was really impressed. I surely asked a lot of questions, since I don more

I had my breast lifted 2 months ago and I am very satisfied with the results. I had decided to undergo this procedure after giving birth to my 4th child. I have been breastfeeding my 2 kids and my back hurts a lot. My breast sagged that I couldn't bear look at it. I am still young but it doesn more

I would recommend Dr. Terino to anyone looking into getting plastic surgery done... new patients and surgery veterans alike. I was absolutely thrilled at how knowledgeable and helpful both Dr. Terino and his staff were when I went in for my consultation. My questions were answered and fears assuaged in an accurate and professional manner without making me feel stupid. No one tried to sell me anything that I didn't want or need, or convince me that I needed a grocery list of procedures done, and he even offers specials to help people whose wallets are feeling the strain of the current economical situation. After surgery, I was treated very well and given very specific and helpful information regarding aftercare, as well as the healing process. His staff was readily available to address any questions, concerns or problems that I had after surgery as well. His portfolio of before and after photos truly speaks for itself and shows off his brilliant talent as a surgeon. more

I had Dr. Terino put in some of his facial implants and could not be happier with the results. It has made such a difference in my confidence. Thanks Dr. T. more
