⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Outstanding Experience with Dr. Bresnick and Team I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Dr. Bresnick and his staff for my upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). From my first consultation, I felt completely comfortable and confident that I was in the best hands. Dr. Bresnick took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, what to expect during recovery, and he answered all my questions with patience and honesty. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results are truly beyond what I imagined. My eyes look refreshed and natural — not overdone — just beautifully rejuvenated. The healing process was easier than expected, and his team followed up consistently to make sure I was doing well every step of the way. His office is warm, professional, and organized, and the staff treated me with genuine kindness and care from start to finish. It’s rare to find a surgeon who is both exceptionally skilled and so compassionate. I couldn’t be happier with my results or with my entire experience. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Bresnick to anyone considering eyelid surgery or any cosmetic procedure — he is a true artist and a caring professional.

Dr Bresnick is absolutely incredible! After seeing the neck lift he did for my friend and meeting with him, I didn't even bother looking anywhere else. Within two weeks , I had booked my own procedure, a mini face lift and Renuvion tightening of my back and I couldn't be happier with results. The recovery was smooth, easy and honestly enjoyable. His skill, care and precision are unmatched. Staff is friendly and very professional! I will definitely go back to him for future procedures. Thank you Dr Bresnick

Dr. Bresnick is kind, compassionate, and truly the best. I can’t thank him and his amazing staff enough. I was referred to him by my facialist, dermatologist, and even my friend’s injector. After consulting with three other top Beverly Hills surgeons, he stood out as the most knowledgeable, personable, and honest. In fact, one of the other surgeons even asked who else I was consulting with and told me Dr. Bresnick was the best on my list. I needed surgery to replace recalled textured implants I’d gotten 20 years ago in another country, and I was terrified. Dr. Bresnick and his team—especially Sarah and Melissa—were incredibly patient and reassuring, answering every question. Surgery day was seamless. My recovery nurse, Stephanie, was so kind, and anesthesiologist Mark was wonderful. Despite my very low pain tolerance, recovery was a breeze thanks to Exparel, which kept the area comfortably numb for the first three days. I’m now less than two weeks post-op, completely off pain meds, and feeling amazing. My breasts look so natural it feels like I was born with them. The aftercare has been just as great—Nurse Diana has been gentle, patient, and thorough at every follow-up. Thank you, Dr. Bresnick and team, for making this such a smooth, positive experience!

65F. Surgery performed: Early Dec 2023 Surgery: upper/lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), face and neck lift After seeing the incredible job Dr Bresnick did on the faces of a couple of my 60 plus year old friends I knew at 65 I was going to finally do something about my aging face, neck and eyes! From the first phone call I knew I found my Dr! It sounds cliche to say they made you feel like family, but it's true! From the girls in the front office, Sara the surgery coordinator, the incredible operating room nurses and to the honest, professional and incredibly talented Dr. Bresnick, I knew this was the place I wanted to have my surgery! Excitedly, I scheduled my surgery for the beginning of Dec . Unfortunately, I received a melanoma diagnosis from my Derm and sadly called Sara to cancel my surgery (this was Friday afternoon) I knew that my Derm takes at least a month to schedule surgery and another 3 weeks to see if they got it all out I would need to make it my priority! Sara spoke to Dr Bresnick, who immediately called me and was so comforting explaining that he takes out melanomas often and that he'll do it on Monday after his full day of surgeries if I wanted! He said he would be able to get my results back within a FEW DAYS so that I could have peace of mind! ( believe me Dr Bresnick is amazingly kind, he has such a busy schedule but was going to help me because he really cares! ) Filling my facial surgery spot is not an issue with this office, he has a waiting list of people who he could put in my place! He took out the melanoma during a painless procedure, with beautiful stitches! He got all the borders and I had my facial surgery as scheduled in Dec! Incredible team ! Incredible Dr. amazing bedside manner! I couldn't be happier! I am feeling 15 years younger! My face healed without a single bruise! My neck looks great! I feel so much more confident and photo editing seems like a worry of the past! I still can't believe how different my eyes and face and neck look! I still look like myself not like a lampshade, just years younger! Believe me Dr. Bresnick is a MASTER OF HIS CRAFT! Schedule an appointment if you are on the fence!

I just recently had a surgery done by Dr. Bresnick, as he was highly recommended, and I have to say that it was the best experience I’ve ever had. I was very nervous prior to my surgery but Dr. Bresnick and his wonderful staff Sarah and Diana, answered all my questions and took such great care of me throughout the whole process. The results are incredible and he’s truly a master in the art of beauty. I’m grateful I chose the best of the best and I look forward to my next surgery with him.
