Breast Reduction Plastic Surgeons Beverly Hills Los Angeles CA

Breast Reduction Specialists of Los Angeles, located in Beverly Hills, CA is spearheaded by the best in class board certified plastic surgeon Keith Blechman, MD.

Having surgery is always a scary process and I’m so happy that I went here – insurance covered my breat reduction and my results are nothing short of amazing. Since the first appointment, they guided me through the process and made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. Once we got to work with my health insurance Mirsis was my rock, she made everything possible. We went out of the network and it was a great experience, everybody was helpful and made sure I felt comfortable. Dr. Blechman gave me the best care and his attention to detail made the process great for me. He even called me the night of the surgery to check on me and ask how I was feeling. Lastly Leah was my voice of reason, always helping me to calm my fears. She was available to answer any of my questions. To all the team, thank you for making this experience great for me and helping me feel good about myself. ~ Google
