Our good friend, Sam Rubin from KTLA morning news and 9 News Australia graciously wrote an article in Mediumabout his experience getting a necklift at Moelleken Plastic Surgery. This is an informative article, especially for anyone looking to trim down their neck size and get rid of unwanted fat in that region.
We all have a self-image or a perception of how we believe we look to others. Being happy with your self-image will help you grow your confidence and your level of comfort in your career, social situations, and personal relationships. If you are self-conscious or insecure about an aspect of your appearance, you may find this lack of confidence spilling over into many different areas of your life. Body surgery can be a path toward reclaiming your self-confidence and restoring a positive image of yourself.
A tummy tuck is a procedure that is used to improve the contour of the stomach and abdomen area. It essentially flattens the stomach to provide a slimmer and sleeker look. The procedure is also known as abdominoplasty. Excess skin and fat are removed from the area, and the muscles in your abdominal wall are tightened.
Liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. It has been a staple of plastic surgeons for several decades used by both men and women to remove unwanted areas of excess fat. Sometimes, diet and exercise simply cannot remove certain fat deposits, and liposuction can help you finally reach the body you deserve.

Dr. Moelleken is one-of-a-kind! He saved my poor post pregnancy body. After a prior bad experience elsewhere I was not sure what to expect, but his service and office are absolutely VIP level treatment. The Doctor himself is refreshingly low-key, normal to talk to, completely down to earth. And the results of his hybrid tummy tuck surgery are nothing short of life changing: My stomach muscles are repaired, hernia gone, standing up straighter, feeling and looking amazing. Highest possible recommendation!

I don't normally write reviews but this time I had to do it cause I hope I could help some people that is confuse or still researching. I did an extensive research here in the US and outside as well. I wanted to find the BEST. Don't go anywhere else! Dr Moelleken is the ONLE AND ONLY. I'm thrilled with the results of this experienced!

I had a removal of a very old implants and a replacement of healthy new ones, as well as a revision of a disastrous mini tuck/crunky lipo. Dr. Moelleken is the best you can get period. Just after a week I had just a very thin line in all my extended necessary wounds. The whole experience from consultation, surgery, anesthesia, post recovery it's been just unbelievable!

After 5 hours of surgery, non soar throat or severe pain or swelling whatsoever. I only took half of the strong medication the first night just to be safe. Even the antibiotics which I'm extremely sensitive were mild and well dosed. My case was actually quite complicated. Both my 32 year old implants were silently ruptured. Left one, there was barely no silicone left inside the implant.

He had to clean that disgusting silicone away from my breast tissue. Even reaching my arm pit and cleaning my lymph nodes. I'm lucky I'm still in this world really. (Of course my fault), but Dr Moelleken suggested that I should replace my breast implants first time he saw me. He is a visionary and amazingly experienced and professional with and incredible sense of discipline and patience, and my breast look absolutely beautiful and clean and I feel actually healthier.

The tummy T revision was also a complicated case. And the results are absolutely amazing. At week 2 and I had no swelling. Just a very thin scar that surrounds my hip. I'm positive my final scar will be invisible. When you go through the most traumatic experience from another surgeon (2 surgeries!), also in Beverly Hills to the hands of this absolutely "maestro", you feel like a higher power in the Universe has just guided you to the BEST.

Lucky me. Thank you Dr. Brent Moelleken AND WONDERFUL team. I'll be forever grateful. Ladies and Gentleman watch out! Follow your first good instincts and don't fall for "impressive" and loud social media, or impressive and loud advice, etc. Dr. Brent Moelleken is a quiet, reflexive, intelligent, kind and a super qualified doctor. He is a true gem, thousands of miles away from any other plastic surgeon that I research or personally experienced.

I hope this helps. I'm now almost 7 weeks after surgery and the results are OUTSTANDING. I recently visited him as well to do some botox (Which for some reason haven't worked for the last 2 years in my forehead), and he nailed it! My daughter will soon have a breast reduction and I'll do my future touch ups myself in my body and face.

I will NOT LET any other doctor touch me again. When you finally find THE best, that's it! I feel lucky, healthy and yes; beautiful! (I could share pics in private message).

Dr Moelleken is a true professional and excellent surgeon. He talked me through the whole process and made me feel comfortable before my rhinoplasty. A total life changer - i can breath through my nose again and don't get nose bleeds everyday like i did before. Great and friendly staff!

When you meet him, he is a very personable person. But BEWARE! I paid this guy thousands and thousands of dollars. He charged me for procedures that he never did. And the ones he did, just messed up my face. After the first surgery, I kept seeing him every month, hoping he would do what he was supposed to do the first time. Finally went back into surgery with him again and he STILL didn't fix or even admit that he made mistakes!

He ruined my nose and it is so bad that I'm afraid to let anyone touch it. Had to go to a different surgeon to fix some of the mess he made. He won't admit that he didn't do the procedures, or even offer me some money back. He is not honest. I have pictures to prove everything. I hope, Dr. Moelleken, that you get the bad karma you deserve.

Doctor left 4 visible scars on outer corner of my eyes and 1 huge scar on lower abdomen He failed to explain clearly to me about this before surgery If I have known before hand there will be visible scars on my face I would never allow it! I'm Asian and prone to scarring how could a doctor not know this? Who cuts into eye corners like this in the name of fat grafting? Doctor is not responding about these scars anymore and never offered any treatment Contacting lawyer

I'm stunned to read the 2 one star reviews. To call Dr Brent arrogant, clearly she has never met him. He is truly one of the nicest, down to earth people I have ever met. His work is flawless. He is precise and very caring. To suggest he has someone else work on his patients is slander and not even worth commenting on. It's absurd, really.

I needed to write this to just state that he is a class act beyond words who is incredibly talented. Opposite of condescending. From my breast surgery (which is PERFECT), to my botox and filler, perfection. And his entire staff is amazing and kind. His Cloud Medi Spa is THE BEST in LA.

If there were no stars he would definitely get a zero. Not only does his work suck, but he is also extremely arrogant. Let me tell you what he did for my upper & lower eye surgery. He made my left eye smaller. The corner of the eye where the upper & lower eye lid meet, he made the incision he sewed tighter than the right eye, make the opening of my eye much smaller.

He also deliberately left a lot of extra ski under my left eye, making it appear I only had one eye done on my face. People do not waste your time or money at with this doctor.

Wow! Unbelievable results. I'm a lawyer and the impressions I convey to clients and opposing attorneys are important. I needed a refresh and researched many doctors. I chose Dr. Moelleken and could not be happier. I don't get impressed very easily, and I'm not prone to write reviews, however, I feel compelled to share my experience. His work is impeccable, the staff is amazing, and I've substantially exceeded my expectations (very rare these days). If you're looking for the best, run, don't walk to his office.

The best! We learned about Dr. Brent from a trusted friend who did all the research. When we met him we immediately knew we were where we needed to be. Dr. Brent and his staff provide a comfortable and professional atmosphere where you will receive the best consultation, treatment and feedback available. We trust what he tells us and highly value his opinion. The work he performs is spectacular and his level of responsiveness is unparalleled. We are very loyal and very happy patients of Dr. Brent!

Dr. Meolleken is a gifted dedicated plastic surgeon. He's patient and kind and takes the time to listen. He's a great teacher and thoroughly explains how he can help you achieve your desired results. His team, -- Crystal, Madalina, Monique, and Christina are wonderful and caring too.

Dr Moelleken was able to completely restore my own confidence in myself and make me feel as beautiful as I did before I got necrosis as a Complication after Juvederm lip injections that I got done at another place. A couple years ago I decided To get lip injections so I went to a place in Newport and sadly Ended up with tissue damage, muscle damage and asymmetry on the right side of my face.

I didn't want to take pictures anymore, selfies, socialize with my friends, and just got really depressed. When I found Dr. Moelleken and that he invented a procedure that could help me Reconstruct my lips I got really excited. The procedure is called Lala lip lift, using live Fill (which is Strips of your own fat that have a 95% or so survival rate).

I went to a lot of other consultations with other surgeons and was told that even if I did an upper lip lift, It would not improve the asymmetry and there was a possibility it could make my asymmetry worse. The other doctors also told me that if I was to do a regular fat transfer to my lips, that there is a high chance that the fat would have irregularities. with the regular fat transfer the fat transfer survival rate could be anywhere from 40 to 80% so for that reason the fat transfer is never recommended for people that especially have small lips to begin with( in such cases like mine, the less fat you have in an area to begin with, the lower survival percentage is ).I'm sure whoever is reading this review has also read about the horror stories about that transfers to the face, the irregularities, And unpleasing results so I did not want to be another one of those stories. Dr Moelleken also did a modified asymmetric upper lip lift with live fill (fat strips harvested from my upper pubic area ) and transferred it to my lips.

He also performed a necklace procedure where he liposuctioned under the chin and tighten the skin so it doesn't sag after removing the excess fat. He also did a reverse brow lift to soften the corners of my square hairline and make it more rounded. Also, he corrected the pinched look in my nose that was caused my my previous surgery where too much Cartlidge was removed.

He took a little Cartlidge from my ear and filled in the dents that made previously my nose look pinched(as a result it made my nostrils look more even too!) Dr. Moelleken also placed live fill into my nasolabial folds (smile lines), To correct the irregularities that were caused from a fat transfer done at another dr. had minimal swelling, minimal pain and look like the best version of myself, maybe even better than before all the horrible things happen to me with my lips.

Dr. Moelleken is a surgical artist. I went to him for a consultation and the minute he entered the room I could tell that he was focusing on my features and envisioning in his head how he was going to bring them out into a fresh and natural look. I can attest to this because I have been told numerous times from lifelong friends that my looks haven't changed and I look the same as I did when they first met me in my 20's Granted, we all age but Dr. Moelleken has the expertise to enhance and maintain my youthful appearance. FYI, I am a 55 year old female who has had two 360 degrees facelifts and neck lacing done by Dr. Moelleken and I feel so good. Why?

Because my face doesn't look pulled or tight and that was the most important thing to me was to maintain a natural appearance and not look like I went under the knife. I am not lying when I say that no one thinks I had plastic surgery because Dr. Moelleken's results are so natural. I couldn't and wouldn't go to anyone else.

Dr. Moelleken is such an expert I genuinely shudder thinking about if about if anyone else did my surgery. I had a very deep cyst on my face that had been growing for years and Dr. Moelleken was highly recommended as an expert on these, especially the really bad ones. He talked me through the entire procedure as well as the post op before the surgery and even during the surgery itself he was always communicating with me about what was happening in terms I could understand.

Because my specific cyst was so deep I had a pretty intense post op procedure that honestly seemed too daunting for me the first time I had to do it, but I called Dr. Moelleken and he literally talked me through the entire procedure over the phone and was so nice about it. The entire staff was equally caring during the surgery and throughout my follow-ups.

While I was there, they treated me like family and always made sure I was comfortable and had whatever I needed. Outside of the office they were always available and always willing to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. During the first week they even texted me to check on how I was doing when they didn't have to, and when I found myself totally overwhelmed with the post op procedure at my first follow up, Dr. Moelleken and the staff were all so kind and encouraging, keeping me calm and making sure I felt completely at ease with everything before I left.

I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Moelleken's team highly enough, what would have normally been a trying and difficult experience, they made easy. I'm healing way faster than I thought I could and it's all thanks to them. 10 out 5 stars.

Dr moelleken is an excellent surgeon, he's very modest and down to earth, very easy to talk to. I feel like he really cares. Crystal, his assistant is so helpful and very friendly. The environment is warm and welcoming. Dr moelleken has helped me so much correcting what another dr did, I'm just very grateful.

Roll up your pant legs - this just keeps getting deeper. Recently, Mallery from Dr. Brent's office reached out - followed by a response that included ".I just want to make it clear that Dr. Moelleken would never have someone else operate on one of his patients, and if he was to do that, it would be highly illegal and there isn't anyone in the operating room who would go along with that. risking their licenses." "Highly illegal"? APPARENTLY Mallery is not familiar with surgeon's allowing other doctors to perform various procedures under supervision (e.g. [cough cough] suturing etc) or the practice of "ghost surgery." I wonder how she thinks residents and junior health professionals get training and experience. HEADS-UP new patients - review consent forms early enough to ask questions about who will be involved with the procedure and discuss any concerns.

You didn't spend a ridiculous amount of time, research, and money to find the best surgeon - only to realize the possibility that someone else with less training and experience may have touched your body with sharp objects. Oh - and beware of semantics. Condescending and arrogant - I wonder if they think all patients are gullible idiots.

Really thoughtful doctor with a great aesthetic. Our surgery plan was a collaboration and the results were beautiful. I had a facelift and tummy tuck. The tummy tuck was correcting a previous bad lipo procedure. The results are flawless. The face looks great too - visible results but not over done.

My entire experience with Dr. Moelleken has been very positive. From my initial consultations, all interactions with the Dr. and the office staff, the actual surgery, the overnight care, the time taken to explain and discuss the procedure prior to and after, and the follow up visits to monitor heal have all been great. He is an amazing Dr, puts you right at ease, he is very professional but still completely approachable, and most importantly he executed a challenging hernia and diastasis repair including tummy tuck, liposuction, and a brand new belly button flawlessly! I am happy with my result and am excited to see how it continues to heal over time.

It gives me great pleasure to share my experience as a recent patient of Dr, Moelleken's. Having worked previously as a Plastic Surgery Consultant for various plastic surgeons in The Beverly Hills area, my knowledge was fairly extensive. So, when it came time to choosing the right surgeon for my own personal procedures, (mastopexy/reduction and brachioplasty), I knew exactly what to look for.

Each item on my checklist contributed to my selection of Dr Moelleken as the ideal choice. Dr Moelleken is highly educated, Board Certified, artistic, and talented. Above all, he is patient, attentive, and always willing to discuss my concerns and preferences. I don't think one could ask for any more. My expectations were not only met, but exceeded, as my surgery was extremely well done and totally successful.

I would recommend Dr Moelleken without reservation to anyone seriously considering plastic or reconstructive surgery. In addition, his office and surgical staff were always a pleasure and never failed to respond with concern to my every inquiry.

5-16-18 From: Sebrena Being a patient of Dr. Moellekens, I feel that it's time that I share my story. I believe it could help someone. My German Shepard and I were victims of a pit bull attack. I suffered several injuries: fractured wrist, torn meniscus in 2 locations, neck injury, multiple facial, wrist, upper arm puncture wounds and lacerations.

My dog is doing great, she taught that pit bull a good lesson about what type of dog not to attack while with her mama. I was sent to Dr. Moelleken for plastic, and, or reconstructive surgery for scar removal. During our consultation, Dr. Moelleken learned that I was 100% disabled, suffering from a brain disorder called Arnold Chiari Malformation With Syrongomyelia.

This disorder causes me to suffer from major chronic pain, and massive headaches that causes many other problelms post 2 brain surgeries. During my pit bull attack, my Chiari symptoms, especially my headaches became elevated. Dr. Moelleken notice my continuous complaints about my head and neck pain worsening since the attack. I explained to him that my pain management treatments that consist of steriods were ineffective.

He shared with me that Botox is not just for beauty, but it was actually for pain. Botox for pain, what? He was very honest by letting me know that he has treated many clients for pain, with excellent results, but not for Chiari. He was also extremely confident that Botox would give me some quick pain relief, but i'd have to monitor how long it lasted and let him know.

I was sold because the nature of my disorder is random and untimely, and know one knows how long any pain management will last until I report my results. Well, my first Botox treatment was on a Thursday, by mid day on Saturday, I felt better that I had felt since 2006. I cried so hard with joy, my sister cried with joy, my son the big macho man held back, but was the most grateful of us all.

I called all family and friends everyone was overwhelmed with joy. Botox treatment for chronic pain was the best treatment that I've been given. My steroids are administered every 4 months, takes 3 weeks to begin working, and only slightly work for 3 weeks, but my Botox treatment took 2 days to work and I had the best 2 months that I had since 2006.

I just received another Botox treatment Thursday 5-10-18, by Saturday, once again feeling great! So with that said, anyone out there suffering with chronic pain, help yourself, go to Dr. Brent Moelleken, you will be treated with love, care, support and some good old Botox. And of course my laser scar removal is beyond impressive. P.S. His entire staff is amazing Sincerely grateful, Ms. Sebrena Harrison

I truly LOVED my entire experience from Dr. Brent Moelleken and his staff! He did my Tummytuck and necklift! He is the BEST stitcher, which to me is really important. You have to look really hard to find my scar! It's a very faint, fine line! It's amazing! My recovery was quick compared to others I've talked to that have gone to other doctors.

He has great bedside manner and I was made to feel extremely comfortable, not just by him, but his entire staff! Even the aftercare was a great experience! His staff is really caring, informative, and helpful! The office is beautiful and clean as well! 5 stars for sure! XOXO, Jacqueline Laurita

He's the greatest! I had breast augmentation after researching and putting it off for years (literally, nearly 15 years.) I couldn't have picked a better Dr as he emphasizes what's most natural and best for your individual body. I look forward to getting more minor esthetic work throughout the future.

After my 2nd pregnancy I was diagnosed with abdominal diastasis and an umbilical hernia. I did not have the extra skin or sagging that is typical of a patient looking into a tummy tuck and personally I did not want a scar from hip to hip. A girlfriend, with the same splitting of the abdominal muscles, who had done significant research on different procedures to correct the diastasis referred me to Dr Moelleken.

I had already spoken to a friend that is a plastic surgeon and was planning on getting treated by him, but thank goodness I set up an appointment with Dr. Moelleken. After my appointment I was so impressed with Dr. Moelleken that I had to have a very awkward conversation with my plastic surgeon friend and tell him that I'm going with Dr. Moelleken.

One of the reasons I was so impressed was that Dr. Moelleken, was able to give me the option of a hybrid tummy tuck, which minimizes the scar and recovery time associated with a full tummy tuck. As a Doctor myself, I could not afford to be out, and unable to see patients for weeks, and the idea of 6 weeks out of work was not acceptable. With Dr Moelleken, I was out of work for only 2 weeks. Dr Moellekin's team, especially Penny and Crystal are incredible- they were always there to answer any questions and walked me through this every step of the way. I am still a little swollen, but I can see the results starting to take shape and I am super excited to see the final result.

Dr. Moelleken and his staff are awesome. Office wait is very minimal. Very friendly staff that greets you when you walk in the door. Penny always answered my questions ( as crazy as they were) promptly and without hesitation. Dr. Moelleken's bedside manner is very down to earth and he listens and evaluates every concern. He promptly and quickly returned phone calls and emails from my me.

He even called to see how I was doing after my surgery. which was very reassuring. So far it has only been 2 weeks that I had my procedures done and I am very pleased. Thank you again Dr. Moelleken, Penny and staff.

After a Breast MRI, it was discovered I had a rupture in my left implant. Dr. Moelleken's office was quick to get me in to exchange the implant. The office staff is pleasant and informative. Dr. Moelleken is both kind and patient with the thousands of questions and concerns I had asked. I never felt rushed out of the office, and the work performed was done so that the results look natural. I would recommend Dr. Moelleken to anyone considering a breast augmentation.

Dr. Moelleken is a perfectionist with a calm, patient, informative bedside manner. He listens earnestly to ensure his advice is tailored to your needs/desires and is careful to recommend surgeries that will be eternally stunning. His execution is flawless and subtle garnering flattering responses such as, "wow, you look amazing, well-rested, were you just at a spa?" He also makes himself available 24x7.

I especially appreciate his continued investment in educating himself on the latest techniques and vetting the ones that produce optimal results. I'm grateful to have teamed with him & I look forward to a long-term relationship as beauty requires investment and maintenance. With utmost confidence, I highly recommend Dr. Moelleken and his outstanding staff - lovely, patient, accommodating, and well-informed.

If only there was the possibility of a 6 stars rating for the professionalism and service! Dr Moelleken is genuinely one of the nicest person I have ever met. Very caring, he'll explain all aspects of what the procedure will encompass, before and after care as well, just ask if you have any questions although Penny his assistant extraordinaire will probably be able to help you as well on many levels.

I had a big reconstructive surgery done, the whole team was there for me. A couple days prior to it the anesthesiologist called me to remind me what to do and what to avoid. Dr Moelleken's whole team is friendly and makes you feel comfortable, even the receptionist Crystal will work with you in accommodating your schedule.

If you are looking for a professional and reliable doctor, Dr. Brent Moelleken is your best choice! I know a lot of women who have gotten breast augmentations and about 85% of them say that they have had complications. I took a long time to do my research and went to many different consultations but when I saw Dr. Moelleken, I knew he would be my plastic surgeon.

The whole team at the Beverly Hills center is amazing! I became quite anxious because it was going to be my first surgery but they were very patient and answered all of my questions. Dr. Moelleken is not only double-board certified but he is also professional, patient, conservative, and highly experienced! He has gotten his training from very prestigious schools and has innovated various procedures!

I would highly recommend him for any type of surgery one is looking for! They will take care of you and your needs. He was very patient with me with my pre-operative and post-operative questions and I had A LOT of questions. His whole team is not only highly experienced and professional, but they truly care about you and your well-being. Trust me, go see him, and when you do, it will be the BEST decision you make! - Patricia T
