David Benvenuti, MD, FACS

Dr. B and his staff are amazing! I received a breast augmentation over 15 years ago and he did an awesome job. I was out and about 3 days later. I’m in the process of getting them redone! Very excited.

Love Dr. Benvenuti! He is sweet and funny and has been in practice forever. I’m scheduled for surgery in April and I can’t wait! His office and staff are very nice and accommodating. Love Leann — she’s very helpful and between her and the doc, they spent 1 ½ hours with me for my consultation. I had to bring my son with me to the appointment and they had a drawer full of toys ready to go to help keep him entertained and happy. I felt so comfortable and at ease with this doctor — I thought about selecting him as my surgeon for a whopping 1 day before I signed along the dotted line and booked the surgery (I went to a total of 3 consultations and he was my last). I’ll update my review post procedure. ;-)
***Update: POD 5 of my BA***
Surgery went very smooth. I had showed the doc pics of what my goal was to look like. My new twins are gradually healing and looking better every day. I didn’t handle the prescription meds well so I’ve been taking only Tylenol since POD 1. So far, so good…
***update: 11 months later***
I am SO happy with my results. He did an awesome job, my girls are perfectly symmetrical and the size is spot on to the look I was going for. I’m so glad I didn’t do a full pexy like the other surgeons I consulted with wanted to do. Dr. Benvenuti went with the more conservative approach and still managed to give me the end result of what I wanted. Despite starting off with deflated tube socks lol. LOVE them, love this surgeon!

I went to see Dr. Benvenuti for a consultation on some issues that had come up with my last breast lift with augmentation that I had done in Las Vegas.
At the time of the visit I had explained that I was there for a second opinion. I told him I had went to see Dr. William Aiello in Los Alamitos. He seemed very perplexed throughout the examination. He then proceeded to ask me what Dr. Aiello said should be done. To say the least I was not impressed. After the consultation he took me into his office and went over his thoughts. He told me he would have to consult with a colleague of his and get back to me. It has been three weeks since my initial consultation and I have never heard back from the doctor nor any of his office staff. What a waste of time. I did go see another doctor in Newport Beach and after having all three consultations I decided to have my procedure done with Dr. Aiello. It’s really disappointing when you go see a plastic surgeon for obvious reasons and look for help and you can’t even get a response back.

Love my boobies!!! They look so natural and perfect. Loved my experience here and I’m so happy I went with them. Dr. B’s wife is so awesome and sweet, she helped so much. Still grateful and happy! thank you so much!!!

Nice guy
Good surgeon

I’m really surprised by some of the negative reviews. I have referred several friends to Dr B and they, including myself have nothing but great things to say about him. I had a breast augmentation done by Dr Benvenuti 13 years ago and haven’t had any issues. While most doctors will tell you to get them done every 10 years, he told me if it’s not broken don’t fix it. He also stitched up my ear because when my son was a baby, he ripped the earring out. I will always go back to Dr Benvenuti for any cosmetic surgery that I need in the future. The girls in the front office are very friendly and Dr B always takes the time to listen to you.

Professional, kind, informative and a true expert. I had a great experience from the time of my consultation and on. I am extremely happy with my ba performed by Dr. Benvenuti in December 2013. Two months later and they look so natural and feel incredible. The staff is very sweet and make you feel welcome over the phone and in person. My recovery was easy and I had no bruising or extreme discomfort. I feel Dr. Benvenuti is truly on the side of his patients and takes pride in making sure we feel good about the process and the end result. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any ps needs.

The bottom half of my face is completely numb after a simple chin implant. He cut me open 4 times to try and fix it-​once after convincing me that I didn’t need to be put under so I was awake and screaming in pain. It drives me crazy with it tingling 100% of the time like when you go to the dentist and get numbed for a cavity.
THIS GUY IS THE DEVIL!!!

I’m so surprised by the negative reviews on Dr. Benvenuti. I just had work done by him and I absolutely love the results! It is exactly what I had envisioned (better, even) and I haven’t had any negative interactions with him or his team.
I met with a ton of doctors (8 consultations, total) before and after meeting with Dr. Benvenuti and I was most thoroughly impressed with him. I came to him on a personal referral and found his consultation to be the most thorough. He examined the area from many angles and took into consideration more factors than any other doctor had. The technology his office uses during the consultation is more advanced than most of the other offices I went to, and he (not a surgical consultant, but the doctor himself) spent a ton of time with me answering all my questions and educating me on the procedure in general. I thought I had it all figured out before I went, seeing as to how I went to 6 other doctors before him, but he educated me on so much more than any other doctor I had seen. He and his team placed a huge emphasis on my needs and wants, and kept in constant communication with me. We were able to find a great balance between the doctor’s recommendations and my desires. Leann and the other ladies in the office are also incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! His surgical team is also very friendly and they place great emphasis on minimizing your pain while also taking into consideration side effects (i.e. administering just enough pain medicine so you aren’t nauseous after surgery). Also, they are incredibly thorough in preparing you for surgery and really think of everything they can to get you ready.
Another thing that’s great is that his actual surgical facility is in the same plaza as his office. The company they use for the labs before surgery is also located in the same medical plaza so it really is a one stop shop.
The best advice I can give you is to listen to your doctor, be completely open and honest about what your wants are, and take Dr. Benvenuti and his team’s advice/​instructions. If they tell you to do something, I would defer to his expertise. I could not be happier with my results and feel like he did a perfect job. I am incredibly happy and would recommend Dr. Benvenuti to everyone!

I’m so so so glad I went with Dr. B for my procedure. I spent over a year researching Doctors and taking recommendations from friends. I went to multiple consultations and once I had my consultation with Dr. B, I knew he was the right Doctor to go to even if he was a little bit more than I had wanted to spend, however for what I got done, I got a great value! I love this office staff, especially LeAnn, she’s a sweetie. She helped me during the whole process. I had my surgery, May 24^th and that was my biggest concern. The surgery was by far easy, very professional, and I felt SAFE! I had one of my last check ups the other day and I love my results! I showed them how I wanted to look, and that’s exactly what I got! Go with the silicone and you won’t be disappointed, the manufacturer Mentor even offers a free warranty. The office and operation room are very professional looking and nice. I trusted Dr. B and that was the biggest concern I had in my search for a Doctor for something so major. I went underneath the crease and my scars are very minimal, I don’t even see them. I highly recommend Dr. B and his staff!!!

I’m actually surprised at the bad reviews. I had my breast augmentation done by Dr Benvenuti almost 10 years ago and I’m pretty pleased with the results.
I had originally paid the non– refundable deposit ($ 250 I think) and I chickened out only to go back a year later and they honored my previous deposit. Dr was very thorough with the procedure, he also was very honest and explained the possible issues I could potentially have. I also wanted very big boobs (d’s) and he explained that it wasn’t realistic since I was very flat and didn’t have much loose skin. He also told me to find a picture of what I wanted my boobs to look like instead of giving him a cup size. He told me what to look for when looking at pictures since I had A bigger space between my nipples and he also told me my boobs would look the same just bigger, if you see his before and afters you’ll know what he means. He explained the importance of massaging to avoid encapsulation which I followed. Now almost 10 years later they still look and feel good. I still get people who are shocked to know they are fake, they look natural (I had mine under the muscle) and am a full C. Also I have to add I had mine inserted under the fold of my breast (going thru the nipple or arm pit scared me) and have to say that you cannot see the scars they healed very nicely. No scar tissue. He also gave me good instructions for pre op and post op to help in healing faster like buying Arnica and vitamin e. I had my implants done on a Friday morning and was back at work with minimal discomfort on Monday. (i dont recommend but im a trooper) The first day was pretty bad but I slept the whole day and his nurse called my husband throughout the weekend to check on my status. Recently I have started to notice some minor rippling on the outside of the implants but I did loose weight and they are almost 10 years old so I can’t complain. It’s not noticeable to others. I have started to have minor breast pain but like I said it has been 10 years so I’m sure I’ll be due for some replacements within the next few years and I would definitely consider Dr Benvenuti for my replacements hopefully I can switch them out for silicone as they were not available when I got mine done. Overall I would recommend him and the reason I went to him was because he was referred to me and glad I choose him. :) sorry to hear others did not have the same experience.

It is very unsettling to read all the negative reviews on Dr. B. I can honestly say after consulting with Dr. Kaidi, Dr. Grover, Dr. Anton, and Dr. Bailey I was well educated and confident in my choice to have Dr. B perform my breast augmentation. Had it been a rhinoplasty or tummy tuck, I would have gone elsewhere, but Dr. B is a boob man, a true Italian and I was very pleased with my two consultations I had with him.
My breasts are a 1 ½ yrs old and I love them. They are symmetrical, soft, size C+, and the scaring is minimal. I am an RN near Dr. B’s office and I have heard other bad things about him, but I went against the majority vote because after my consultations I knew he would give me what I was looking for. They look natural and I’m very satisfied.
NO breast augmentation is ever perfect. Not a person roaming this earth has perfectly symmetrical nipples, yes bad things can happen as with any corrective surgery, but that’s a risk you take.
In Dr. B’s defense, all the other surgeons I listed above said I needed a lift. They all said if I didn’t get one my areolas would stretch out and be oblong and look horrible after a year. Dr. B told me that wouldn’t happen and why spend the extra few thousand on a lift when I truly didn’t need one. Well he was correct, my areolas are round and my nipple line is normal. He saved me from extra scaring and overpaying a few thousand dollars. I am a happy client.
My advice: Always see several surgeons, always see the ones you really like atleast twice.

i went to him 5 years ago for my surgery and i have been miserable with the results ever since. we decided on a certain size before the actual surgery and while i had needles in my arm, on my way into a deep sleep he asks «if i have room to go a little bigger, would you like me to do that?» and i said «yes» thinking he means a small adjustment. well they are humungous. my nipples have thick scars around them and they are lopsided, on top of my breasts being so large and saggy that i have to spend alot of money on special bras just to keep them from killing my back. i went into see him and CRIED to him explaining that i hated them and i was mislead about the size. he told me he was happy with the result and tried to convince me this is exactly what i wanted. and then told me he could fix it but would charge me full price. he treated me like i was a moron and he was some kind of gift from god. well its been 5 years now of my huge unwanted, lopsided breasts and if i want that to change i’ll have to spend about 10,000.
DO NOT! DOOO NOTTTT see him!!! he is a complete asshole, he doesnt care about you! who the hell gave this man a license? there are so many great surgeons in the area. i’ve seen them all for quotes and they are all so much nicer then him. i hope he sees this. he is a disgusting person.
