Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions or post-mastectomy reconstruction, this procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss. Dr. Cedars tailors each surgery to individual anatomy and goals, ensuring natural, confidence-boosting results.
Facelift
A facelift reverses visible aging signs by tightening skin and muscles in the face and neck. Suitable for those with sagging jowls or deep wrinkles, it restores a youthful contour. Dr. Cedars employs advanced techniques to achieve subtle, long-lasting improvements without an over-tightened appearance.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body shape. Targeting areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms, it complements healthy lifestyles by addressing diet-resistant fat. Dr. Cedars uses precision methods to sculpt proportions and enhance natural curves safely.
Non-Surgical Procedures
Non-surgical options include BOTOX, fillers, and laser treatments to address wrinkles, volume loss, or skin texture. These services offer quick recovery with noticeable rejuvenation. Dr. Cedars customizes treatments to refresh appearance without surgery, catering to busy lifestyles.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter profile. Often sought post-pregnancy or weight loss, it combines fat removal and muscle repair. Dr. Cedars ensures comprehensive results that restore core strength and aesthetic balance.

Dr. MICHAEL CEDAR Is the best plastic surgeon ever. I couldn't be more please he is a genius and did my rhinoplasty great job and very much satisfied besides a face lift neck lift and the eyebrow lift. I have no revealing scars they faded away; and the two chemical peels he performed made my skin so smooth clear and brillant i look alot much younger and beautiful. Dr. Cedars is not only a very skilled artist plastic surgeon.
He knows what's best for you and explains if it should be done or not and every procedure came with amazing beautiful results. I get so many compliments back to back. People can't guess my real age don't believe I'm 55 with 5 kids (only those that knows me know) But rather single with an age of 37-39 age. I just love Dr. Cedars besides being always on time patient kind and filling you with all the details and taking he's time to show you how it all works believe me he is an artist with hands of gold guide by the LORD. THANK YOU DR. MICHAEL CEDARS

I had an appointment scheduled with this office for at least a week. I came in to see the doctor for a procedure that is quite urgent and they turned me away at the door saying that my insurance won't cover it although it has been covered multiple times by my doctors office. No call before hand to let me know. Just complete disregard for my time or the urgent nature of my problem.

Dr. Cedars is skilled, professional, and kind. I was always happy with his Botox services. I like that he does Botox by area with free touch ups, instead of nickel and dimming you per unit. After getting tired of bad Botox at Med spas that was gone quickly, I was very happy with Dr. Cedars work. I am sad that I left the Oakland area, as a truth-worthy provider is hard to find!

The doctor is rude and he put my best friend in the hospital with an infection for three weeks. His medical license should be revoked and I have filed a complaint with the state board. Don't risk your life.

It's taken me a while to write this review but I think I should inform others who are thinking about using this Doctor. I got a breast lift with implants and my nipples are terribly choppy and different sizes when I brought this up to the Dr. he said if someone really loves you it shouldn't be a issue the lady who takes the Before & After pictures also had her boobs done and said her nipples were also different sizes. I'm going to have to get a revision-It was a waste of money

A had a consultation with Dr. Cedars and his patient coordinator about a surgery I am considering. They were both exceptionally clear and thorough and answered every single question. Dr. Cedars has an amazing bedside manner. I feel that he really took the time to get to know me as a person. He was very honest that he does not do the kind of surgery I am looking for. I would definitely go back if I decide to do a different procedure.
