Aging individuals can suffer a loss of facial definition, sagging skin, and the development of wrinkles. Facelift surgery can help turn back the clock, giving you a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Dr. Ackerman has perfected his facelift technique, the deep plane facelift, to provide patients with significant, dramatic improvements without the telltale signs of a facelift.
Facial signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin, can make a man look older than he is or feels, which often negatively affects his self-esteem. Fortunately, facelift surgery is not just for women. Dr. Ackerman has devised a process that provides his male patients with many options in facial rejuvenation surgery.

Dr Ackerman and his whole team have been beyond amazing. This last year I was so fortunate to have had Dr Ackerman do my deep plane lower face and neck lift and then 8 months later I had a breast lift and reduction with new much smaller implants. I am only 5 weeks out from my second surgery and everything is great! My scarring is already so minimal from what I was expecting.

They look great! My face has healed beautifully and I get comments all the time telling me I do not look my age. Always something we love to hear. From beginning to end, from the first phone call and visit, to the day of surgery and after, everyone has been so nice. So helpful, comforting, professional and they have always been available to me for every question and concern. Dr Ackerman does extraordinary work. Thank you to Dr Ackerman, Kimberly, Alicia, and the surgical team. You have truly been a blessing. If I need any thing else, I will be back to see you

I think Dr. Ackerman is the best ever! I couldn't be happier with the job he did. The reason I chose Dr. Ackerman is because my friend got work done by him and it was the best work I've ever seen! Thank you so much to Dr. Ackerman and his team!

I'm so grateful that I went to Dr. Ackerman for my rhinoplasty! From the moment I had my consultation, Dr. Ackerman, Alicia, and Kimberly have truly been the best, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It took me years to get the courage to undergo surgery because I was so scared, but Dr. Ackerman and his staff were reassuring. I am 8 months post-op, and I am so happy with my results and much more confident in my appearance. I highly recommend Dr. Ackerman! He will exceed your expectations and give you amazing results!

Diane is literally magical. She is so skilled and so talented. My Mother loves her work and has been getting botox and juvederm from her for a few years now, and recently got two sessions of kybella from her. My mom is always satisfied with her results! We have infinite trust in Diane when in need of a little TLC, and when people tell my mom how beautiful she looks, we always say "thanks Diane" as our little inside joke lol.

I have never felt more confident and more beautiful. Dr. Ackerman did a nose job for me (I had collapsed cartilage on one side), and fixed my weak chin with an implant. He really genuinely cares about his patients. Other surgeons just want money. Not Dr. Ackerman. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, happy, and confident before moving forward.

He is very honest and realistic! If I need anything in the future I am 100% going to him. He also did a nose job on my good friend and helped her. She is so happy and I am so grateful she was taken care of by Dr. Ackerman!

I ALWAYS look forward to my appointments with Diane. She is an amazing person, fantastic professional and ensures my services are five star every time. I never leave without making my next Botox appointment. If you need someone who can listen to what you need (want) and give professional advice Go. See. Diane!

After I saw my friend's face lift I knew I wanted Dr. Ackerman to do mine. My friend was very happy with Dr. Ackerman and she looked fantastic! Very natural! It has been 6 months since Dr. Ackerman performed my surgery and I couldn't be happier. The office staff are very friendly and professional. What impressed me the most is that Dr. Ackerman provides all your aftercare visits himself. You never see anyone else. He is very particular about his work and only wants to make you happy. Would go back to him in a heart beat!

I went and had a consultation with Dr. Ackerman for a rhinoplasty after doing extensive research to find the best possible surgeon. After my consultation I knew he was the best surgeon for me based on his knowledge and experience. I went in for my surgery months later and it was a very smooth process. I wasn't concerned at all going into my surgery.

It has been two weeks since my surgery and I want to say I am extremely happy with my nose. He really exceeded all expectations I had and gave me the perfect nose. He told me there would be a lot of swelling and rhinoplasty recovery is a very long process because of the swelling but each day my nose gets better and better and I'm in love with it. If you are thinking about getting a rhinoplasty done Dr. Ackerman is the surgeon to go to!

I had a breast lift and replaced implants with some repair work from previous scar tissue. I was extremely satisfied with Dr Ackerman from start to finish. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Ackerman is extremely skilled and meticulous on results. He refuses to compromise on aesthetic results and perform procedures that are not necessarily functional to the desired result. I have had two facial and body procedures performed by him and plan on visiting him again in the future.

I was referred to Dr. Ackerman by a friend who referred to him as the best surgeon. After my own personal experience, I would say the same and recommend him to everyone I know! I'm very pleased with my results. I also appreciate the doctor's frequent follow up appointments to assure I was healing properly after surgery. Thank you Dr. Ackerman!

Kristine is amazing! She is a magic woman!. I walk in looking 75 and leave looking 25! (Well, maybe a tad older). Kristine always knows just what to do, and I confidently leave it to her. She is so knowledgeable and talented! Kristine respects my budget, and always gives me the most "cluck for the buck." And, her injection technique is almost painless! I'll never go anywhere else for my fillers and botox!

Best experience! I've had two procedures with Dr Ackerman and both have been very easy. I am so pleased with the results! He is definitely the best in his field. Very professional, confident and pleasant person to work with. Great bedside manner. His work is so natural, no one has asked what I had done! Just that I look amazing! Which is what everyone wants to hear! I am so happy with my results! If you are considering plastic surgery I would highly recommend Dr Ackerman!

I just wanted to say I have gotten Botox from multiple offices but nothing compares to the service received by Kristine Taylor at Dr Ackermans! I have never had a bad reaction or result with Kristine administering. She is very conservative with application yet I receive the most incredible results. I alway leave extremely happy. She does not up sell nor does she make you feel like you need more than you are comfortable with.

I highly recommend her for all your Botox needs though I am slightly hesitant to boast of her skills for fear of never being able to book an appointment with her again! She is a true professional. If you are hesitant to try Botox or just plain scared go to Kristine! She'll talk you through and you will be very happy with the results!

I am a surgical patient of Dr. Ackerman's and a medispa patient. If I could give this office 10 stars I would! Dr. Ackerman is so calm and makes you feel so comfortable and 100% confident in him and his work. The surgical process was so easy and the staff was extremely attentive to my needs. He is truly a facial artist and his attention to detail is unmatched.

There is no question that he is the best plastic surgeon around and I would trust no one else with my results! He has transformed my confidence with natural results and an easy surgical process. Thank you to Dr. Ackerman and his incredible staff!

If you want the best, then have Dr. Boris Ackerman perform your procedure. I am 73 and a young waiter told me recently I look better than his 51 year old mother. Dr. A is an artist who listens and hears every word you say. Not only does he hear you, he understands what you would like to achieve. There are no surprises, because he makes sure he and you have the same expectations.

If he doesn't think you can achieve the results that you desire, he will tell you honestly what is realistic. His face lift is very natural--none of that phony stretched look. He has done multiple procedure on me including face lift, breast revision, upper arm reduction, fat grafting--there is probably more. Trust me you can't be anymore picky than me so my advice to you is choose Dr. A.

He is gifted, an artist, a perfectionist, hears you, and has an awesome memory. After care is excellent: he always just a phone call away to answer your questions, provide comfort and reassurance. His staff are great. He is a tough task task master who requires staff to perform at their highest level just as he asks of himself.

Kristine is simply the best! I also had a face lift by Dr Ackerman 12 years ago and still look amazing. No one can even tell I had a facelift done he is an excellent surgeon.

I've worked in the medical and beauty industry for over 15+ years. Although I have many connections in the industry I trust absolutely no one to come near my face except for Diane. I've been offered botox for free but I refuse to go to anyone else. You don't chose over quality and Diane is just that! Would highly recommend her to anyone.

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Ackerman! I had a lower face lift (and neck), with a demi brow and a lip lift. Everything turned out as great as I had hoped. Dr. Ackerman is easy to talk to and I felt completely at ease. His office staff is very professional and friendly. They are always available for questions. Thank you Dr. Ackerman and his staff!

Christine at Dr. Ackerman is the absolute best for Botox! She is meticulous, patient and spends all the time in the world talking through the look you want and mapping out exactly where she will inject. She not only has the sweetest bedside manner, but I feel so good knowing she does this all day long day after day- she is one experienced lady!

I started going to Dr. Ackerman in 2018 and have thoroughly had a pleasant experience with all of his staff. Everyone from front to back office is so so helpful and full of information they answer all of your questions and just make you feel comfortable. The waiting room is just an oasis in itself there's always water set out for clients. These little touches just make you feel like you're in the right place then I'm speaking with the doctor he's so informative and you see such talent I am I can't wait to move forward with some other procedures I have besides just the small I am new injectables and things that I've done I have to say I would recommend this office to any of my friends it's just a great place to go and so convenient being located in fashion Island.

Had my lips done by Diane at Dr Ackerman's office and I am beyond thrilled with the results! After having them done a handful of times before by a different doctor, I was shocked at how painless it was by her and they turned out amazing :):) The entire office staff is extremely nice and accommodating and they make you feel very welcome. I highly recommend!

Boris (quack quack) Ackerman gave me Paris Hilton's nose. Ten years after my septo-rhinoplasty my nose is STILL healing. I've been getting cortisone shots with another surgeon and also talking to him about doing a revision rhino. Let me back up a bit. I first went in for a consult with Dr. Ackerman 11 years ago cuz I had this huge hump on my long crooked nose and a hanging collumella.

First of all, he doesn't listen! I told him that I wanted the collumella raised and he argued with me about it not looking natural. I trusted him even though I knew in my gut that my nose would look ugly if the collumella wasn't raised. Lo and behold I was right! My nostrils are asymmetrical so a hanging collumella makes it look crooked and when I smile my nose looks hooked.

When I have more money I will get it shortened, the septum straightened, and the collumella raised with a surgeon who actually listens to what I want. Oh, and another red flag is that he uses a nurse anesthetist instead of a real anesthesiologist in order to save money (for himself of course). Check out my pic, yes it's an AFTER pic, on my profile or here on this review so you can see for yourself how ugly it is. Update: After some investigating online I read that a lady complained about a nose job Dr. Ackerman performed on her daughter on the Rip off report and had the same issues as me (crooked nose and hanging columella).

She said that she wrote a Yelp review but the Doctor had it removed because it was a "second hand" opinion. ***2nd Update: I have consulted with 4 other plastic surgeons for a revision and they all agree that Dr. Ackerman did a horrible job. They all said that my nose collapsed causing my polly beak deformity, inverted V deformity, and alar retraction.
