Had an amazing experience here with my breast lift and augmentation!! I would recommend Dr. Salazar and his team 10 times over. Pre-surgery I was rethinking my size after the first consultation and Dr. Salazar met with me again to talk about a better fit and he explained everything with patience and I felt excited going into surgery. His professionalism and confidence the morning of my surgery kept me calm and relaxed. Then post-surgery his team, Jocelyn and Juliana, were a phone call or text away the whole time during recovery. They were very caring and answered any questions I had. I am so happy I chose them and would not change anything. Also my girls are beautiful!!!

Truly one of the most genuinely kind, caring doctors out there! He will give up his time to teach others (for no compensation at all), and so clearly cares about patients over other incentives. Would recommend him to anyone!

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Salazar earlier this month, and I can’t recommend him enough. This was my first cosmetic procedure, so I was definitely nervous going in, but the moment I walked into LJCSC for my consultation, all of those nerves disappeared. Dr. Salazar and his team are incredibly kind and helpful. I am already in love with my results!

I was in contact with the clinic regarding a revision surgery I was interested in having with Dr. Swistun. The entire process—from patient onboarding to communication and surgical planning—went incredibly smoothly. My patient care coordinator, Karina, was highly engaged, very responsive, and extremely competent. Unfortunately, due to recent complications I had in Europe, I was not able to undergo this particular surgery in the US. However, I am still very impressed by the professionalism of the clinic, and if I ever consider having surgery abroad, it will certainly be with La Jolla Cosmetic.

From my very first consultation through financing and all the way to surgery, this office has been absolutely amazing. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and I was given ample time and opportunity to ask questions. The entire team showed genuine kindness, patience, and compassion, which made a potentially overwhelming experience feel calm and reassuring. They handled all paperwork and appointments quickly and efficiently, and the payment process was simple and stress-free. On surgery day, everything was clean, organized, professional, and fully prepared. I was even provided with my compression garments for post-surgery care, which was one less thing to worry about. I had a follow-up visit the very next day, and Dr. Rodriguez never once made me feel rushed or pressured. Every question I had — before and after surgery — was taken seriously. Messages and emails were answered the same day, and I always felt supported and informed about what to expect during recovery. I am absolutely ecstatic about my results. I went in with a “mommy pooch” and came out with a body better than I had in my 20s. I’m almost 50 and truly never thought I could look this good again. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and fat transfer to my lips and under my eyes to restore the fullness I had lost — and the results exceeded my expectations. I genuinely could not have been in better hands. Thank you to Dr. Rodriguez and the entire team for guiding me through this journey with such care and professionalism. I am forever grateful — and so thankful to have my confidence back. ❤️
