Andres Taleisnik, MD

Dr. Taleisnik is one of those practitioners that i find consistent with what he does and how he treats his patients. He is honest right off the bat. Let me share my experience When i was looking for a surgeon i went to this website and found Dr Taleisnik i sent an email for pricing and «days off needed» inquiry, you know, something that an assistant or customer service could respond to but no, to my surprise Doctor responded himself. So that was a really good first impression. He was very hands on and thorough with his explanation. Here comes the appointment day, he took his time answering all my inquiries. He was very straightforward and I immediately knew he’s the one! That was just the first time i met him and so when i left his office i did more research about my doctor. So next appointment, i showed Doctor my «dream» boobs and expressed the result that i was aiming for, nothing big or unnatural looking. Doctor educated me with how it works and what would best fit me and my skin elasticity and so on. He sets the expectations for op day and what to do post op. Like i said it was pretty straightforward so there was nothing that was hard to understand. Surgery day! Yay! Staff was great! Doctor was on time, i fell asleep and when i woke up, boom! I got boobs! Lol yes! So this was the moment of truth. Or the moment if this Doctor really is a 5 star! This would’ve been the time where the «honeymoon» stage died down. Doctor got paid, everything went well, boobs are exactly what i wanted but no… Doctor continued to keep in touch. He still responds to my emails and inquiries as prompt as pre op days! Which was really good coz after surgery is the perfect time to get reassurance and answers. It was such a good experience. I watch botched all the time lol so i am kind of paranoid considering this is my first surgery ever! I read a lot of horror stories about what could go wrong but Doctor Taleisnik is amazing at what he does, he listens, he gave me reassurance during post op and he delivered results that i was hoping for. I’m a happy mama!!! i mean summer is almost here. Less bra more boobs wooo hooo!!!
Thank you Doctor!

–i forgot to put in my surgery date lol i was too excited to post this haha
Feb 11, 2016 @ 7am was my surgery date so i am two week post op. Back to work since Monday and i feel good and very excited for the summer

I saw Dr. Taleisnik about 7 weeks ago for a breast augmentation and am incredibly happy with the experience and the results. Dr. Taleisnik performed surgery on my hand a few years back and I decided to return to him. I figured that a doctor who excels in working on the hundreds of tiny tendons and ligaments in the hand can certainly perform a breast aug. Dr. T was very attentive and went over everything prior to surgery and really helped me make the right decisions when it came to size, the type of implant (I chose silicon) and incision site. He always answered my emails the same day that I sent them and asked me to email him photos of the results I wanted which was very convenient. My recovery was really, really easy. I was prepared for it to worse than it was. Surprisingly, I only had to take the pain meds for 2 days after surgery. After two days, extra strength Tylenol was enough to manage the pain. I had my surgery on Thursday afternoon and was back to work on Monday morning. I have a desk job and was not uncomfortable at all. I am thrilled with my results. They are very natural looking and exactly the size I wanted. Best money I’ve ever spent!!! Also, I want to give a HUGE shout-​out to Linae, Dr. T’s assistant. She is super friendly and went above and beyond to help me with financing and with some pre-​surgery anxiety I had.

I couldn’t be happier with the results. I debated with myself for years if it was worth it to get the procedures done. After years of battling my insecurities I decided to make my first and only consultation appointment with Dr Taleisnik. He was very detailed with the procedures and the outcome to be expected. He made me feel very comfortable. His bedside manners post op were amazing. He called me at home the day of surgery to check on me.
With my new flat tummy and amazing new boobies I couldn’t be happier. The results are even better than what I imagined. I would recommend Dr. Taleisnik to anyone.
I must not forget his wonderful assistant Linae. She is amazing. Anytime I had a question come up i emailed her and she would respond same day (if not hours after).
Surgery center was awesome as well!
Dr Taleisnik gave me my sexy back!

Dr. Taleisnik is awesome! I would recommend him to my friends and family, and I have! Back in 2004 I had a breast augmentation from Dr. Taleisnik and I loved it. Unfortunately 11 years later one of my implants ruptured, so I quickly scheduled an appointment with his office. He was able to schedule me right away for surgery. I felt reassured and happy that Dr. Taleisnik would be able to fix my right breast so quickly. I forgot to mention at that time I was getting married in a month, this is also why it was so vital Dr. Taleisnik fix my breast quickly and to my satisfaction. Today I am 18 days post op from surgery and I am beyond happy with the results. I have no pain and my scars are very minimal. I am so happy that I decided to have Dr. Taleisnik fix my ruptured breast. My breast are definitely a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. After showing my best friend my perfect breasts she has decided to get hers done! Thank you so much Dr. Taleisnik for allowing me to look perfect in my wedding dress!

Dr. Taleisnik was recommended to me by my friend who was very happy with him. I interviewed other doctors and went with Dr. Taleisnik because of his honesty. He didn’t try to talk me into more work than was necessary and he spent time with me during my consultation, did not rush me, and explained exactly what to expect.
I was beginning to show aging in my face and neck and decided to take the plunge after talking to him.
My surgery went well and easier than I thought it would be.
Dr. Taleisnik called me that night to find out how I was feeling and made me feel comfortable in knowing I could call him any time with questions or concerns. Now that I am mostly healed I am thrilled with the outcome and keep asking myself why I waited so long.
I highly recommend Dr. Taleisnik and would not think of going to anyone else!

Love love love this Dr! I’ve had a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck. Dr. Taleisnik and his staff were so welcoming and kind. They made sure I knew each step of the surgery and post care. Dr. Taleisnik called me the evening of the surgery to check on me, he made sure all was healing well. I have zero scars on my breasts and very fine line on my tummy tuck! I still get asked tif my breasts are real or implants!
I brought my boyfriends mom, and she got her breasts done also, amazing results.
My sister just got her tummy tuck after three children, and she is so happy she can wear a bikini again! I have referred several other friends and family members to Dr. Taleisnik and each one has thanked me for how wonderful their experience was and how great their results are!!!

From pre-​op to post-​op, Dr. Andres was with me every step of the way. I absolutely love how easy it is to get a hold of him via email, you’ll almost always get a same day response making it super convenient and comforting to know when you’re thinking about undergoing surgery. Especially if you’re like me (I’m a paranoid patty.)
So here’s my short story. I’ve always been obsessed with boobs, I felt like everyone had them but me. I waited and waited for mine to grow, but it just never happened. My right boob was slightly smaller than my left, so bras just never fit quite right. Long story short, I just never felt womanly. My sister and I had always joked about bargain shopping for boobs since we all know breast augmentations aren’t cheap. (hahaha! who would bargain shop for boobs?) but last thing I wanted was to end up on the show botched, so I decided that I would just save up to find a good ps. (but if you were wondering, Dr. Andres does give a discount if you and a friend decide to get a breast augmentation done together) so after years of feeling underdeveloped, I finally did it.
I started looking up plastic surgeons on real self and tried to find a somewhat affordable, yet great surgeon with good reviews. After emailing what seemed like 20 surgeons, only one stood out, Dr. Andres was the only one genuinely interested in helping me receive the look I wanted and answered all my questions before I even came in for my consultation. Granted that most ps are busy with surgeries and other patients, I feel like it’s important to create that bond even if it takes an extra minute to put a little thought extra and feeling into an email. (I want to feel like I’m talking to a real person.) I mean, you’re basically paying someone a lot of money to slice you open and stitch you back up. I NEED to feel like my plastic surgeon cares for my well being as well as achieving the look I want.
And after looking over tens of before and after pictures, I was honestly tired of seeing over-​sized boobs that didn’t really fit the persons frame. As much as I wanted big boobs, what I wanted more was a great ps who could give me natural looking and full breasts.
I was completely confident that Dr. Andres would be the one I chose to perform my breast augmentation. So confident that I scheduled my surgery right after our consultation! I knew I wanted him to be my ps after the first couple of emails we exchanged and after meeting him, I just couldn’t wait. He knew exactly what I was looking for and he was very attentive to what I wanted/​had to say. He genuinely listens to what you want and will give suggestions to what he thinks would fit your frame whether you’re going for a natural look or a slightly «juicier» look. I am definitely going to recommend him to all my cousins and girlfriends looking to get a breast augmentation!
I’m 7 weeks post op and I couldn’t be happier! My boobs looks awesome! Thank you Dr. Andres!

I took the plunge and decided to try Botox! A friend had some work done by Dr Taleisnik and referred me to his office. I called to make an appointment and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to see the doctor. Dr Taleisnik did a consult with me in order to determine the appropriate location for the Botox. He was very professional in helping me determine where and how much to do. Dr Taleisnik did not try to up sale more locations for the Botox. We had the same plan, reduce my wrinkles without making me look fake. The procedure itself was relatively easy. I’m not going to lie and say it was pain free because it wasn’t. However, Dr Takeisnik and his assistant were wonderful in calming my nerves. He continued to ask if I was doing ok while completing the injection. He was very thorough in explaining benefits and possible complications. I was told I would have minimal bruising, however I had none. I followed all the instructions and my results are amazing! I would definitely recommend Dr Taleisnik and his team. Highest level of professionalism and amazing results, what else can you ask for?

About me: Got a full Tummy Tuck and breast Lift after losing 125 lbs. No lipo and no implants. My current weight is 115 – 120, I had hanging skin on my breasts and stomach. I am fit, athletic, lost weight with diet and exercise, i exercise 5x a week and work an active job. I chose Dr. Andres Taleisnik after talking with only a few different surgeons mainly because he seemed happy to answer all my questions, didn’t make me feel rushed and was honest with what kind of results I could expect and those results so far have exceeded my expectations.
I really enjoyed my first meet and greet with dr. T. I had it narrowed down between him and another doctor, and by the end of my consultation, I knew he was the right doctor. He was very thorough with answering my question, made me feel less nervous, and had excellent people skill unlike many other doctors out there. He also quoted me 3000 cheaper than the previous doctor who I almost chose. The day of the procedure, everything went smoothly, surgery was 4 ½ hours, and doctor T. even called me later that night to make sure I was feeling okay. I tend to have a very strange reaction to most pain pills (they make me hyperactive, dizzy yet unable to fall asleep) and dr. t even said if I could send someone down to the office the next day, he would make sure I was given a prescription for something else, and It was no problem. I am very pleased with my results so far, he was honest and straight forward about what to expect, he told me he might even be able to lift my thighs and pelvic area in the process of doing my tummy tuck, and guess what– thighs and pelvis were TOTALLY LIFTED. I feel like any other doctor would’ve tried to sell me lipo or tried to give me a higher quote for helping my thighs. I can already see how great I am going to look after this, and I am very happy even at 1 week post op. Also my breasts looked even fuller than what I was expecting and this is without having to add implants. I am very pleased everything.
*Also Linae his assistant is amazing! She is very helpful and kind.

I cannot say anything but great things about Dr. Taleisnik. From the start I felt so comfortable with him. He listens and will answer any questions you have. He even answers emails same day… even before you go in for your first consult. I had my surgery recently and everything was great. Dr. Taleisnik called me during the weekend to check in on me after I had emailed him with some concerns I had post operatively. He truly cares and wants to achieve outstanding results. I wish that other doctors/​surgeons would take the time to actually care for their patients. Dr. Taleisnik is a one of a kind doctor in the fact that, yes, he is certainly skilled at his profession but he lacks «The God» complex and is compassionate and strives to make certain that you get the results you desire. I’m so grateful to him. I have gained the self confidence I’ve always wanted with his help and skills. I’m beyond ecstatic with my results. I’m so thankful that I found him so close to home but I would drive 100 miles just to see him! All my friends and family are impressed with my results and I am referring a few to him, knowing that they will be in the best of hands. Dr. Taleisnik is such a good guy and a crafted surgeon to boot! I will be returning to him for any future procedures for certain!

I was referred to Dr. Taleisnik by a friend and I am so glad I went to him. He was incredibly professional and took his time with me to make sure all of my questions and/​or concerns were addressed. He weighed out my options and what would be best for me and my body. I knew I would go thru with him when his suggestion wasn’t the most expensive option. He really wanted me to be happy and I defiantly am! I had a breast lift with implants almost 5 weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! In fact, I referred a friend to him who has already had another type of surgery with him. The only person of his staff I personally dealt with was Linae (I hope I spelled her name right) and she was awesome, so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I had a couple questions right before my surgery and she emailed me back within an hour, I never felt rushed by Dr. Taleisnik or his staff in any way and they schedule properly so you are not waiting an hour which is always a huge plus. Bottom line is I am pleased with the process and the results. I will continue to refer my friends to him.

Dr Taleisnik was absolutely AMAZING!
I had thought about breast aug for a few years and when I finally decided I was sure I wanted to get it done I searched every doctor around. I went to a few doctors for a consultation and just was not sold. When I went to Dr. Taleisnik it was completely different! He explained everything to me and answered every question I had. And there was absolutely no pressure to make an appointment for a procedure (which happened often with other doctors). At this point I knew he was my doctor. I was super confident and comfortable with Dr Taleisnik. Day of surgery I was nervous but he made sure to make me feel calm and I felt prepared for what was to come after my surgery. Surgery went smooth and was in pain after but it was expected. My follow up appts went well and even after my appointments when I had questions and i would call he was sure to answer everything for me and even offered for me to come in if it would make things easier.
I told dr Taleisnik that i wanted my breasts larger but still natural looking. I did not want two big balls on my chest i wanted them to sit nicely on my body and look real. He did wonders. Of course for people who know me they can tell my breasts are larger but just to someone on the street you would never know. They are exactly what i wanted. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. My scars are completely healed and fading nicely. My breasts are settled now and they feel absolutely amazing. You cant feel the implant and they move as normal breasts.
Dr. Taleisnik is absolutely wonderful. Wouldn’t go to anyone else.

I used Dr. Taleisnik for my breast augmentation and was very satisfied with my experience with him. His office staff is very professional and friendly and will return calls quickly. Also, he does he keeps his appointments to the time that they are scheduled. There is not a long wait to see the doctor. Dr. Taleisnik is also very personable and patient with answering questions. For instance, I had a question, which he answered in great detail. But, when I saw him again a few weeks later, I had follow up questions and he was more than willing to answer those follow up questions again. He also cares about the status of each patient. He called my house the night I had my procedure to check up on me. On my consultation, he was very detailed and gave his opinion on what would look best with my body type and figure. My breast augmentation turned out great, I could not be happier with the results. I would recommend Dr. Taleisnik to anyone who is looking for a plastic surgeon or hand specialist.

Ok, so I finally had my procedure done on 7÷25÷2013 with Dr. Andres Takeisnik, and it went better than expected. I guess I am not the type of patient that gets nervous with medical procedures and anesthesia as long as there is no pain, all I care about is the results. My procedure was scheduled between 2.5 and 3 hours. Although Dr. Taleisnik said he could complete the procedures in 2.5 hours, I insisted on paying for 3 hours so he could take his time and do a perfect job. I was glad when he told me we actually went over the 3 hour mark. Now I am 2 days post-​procedure and have no pain at all. I’m actually planning on going to work tomorrow. I went to several OC and LA cosmetic surgeons and none of them gave me the personal attention, patience, and care that Dr. Taleisnik did. All you need to do is read this guys bio and you will see that when it comes to a plastic surgeon you cant get any better education and training than he has. And when you meet him, you immediately see a high level of professionalism and passion not found in too many doctors these days. I’m an actual patient and Dr. T and for the record, he did not ask me nor is paying me to write this. I was just so pleased with him and hisstaff, that I told him I would be happy to speak to any prospective clients on the phone who are considering a similar procedure done as well. Once you meet him, you will see how he stands far and above the rest of the doctors out there you will meet.

From personal experience, I can say that Dr. Taleisnik does great breast augmentations. I have had two girlfriends go to him and both were happier than me with the results. One did saline and the other did silicone. Personally, silicone ones feel waaaay better. One thing I have to mention, is I know a few people that go to celebrity plastic surgeons in Beverly hills that paid an arm and a leg and they were done horribly. It just goes to show that not all top-​notch places are top quality. With that said, I was hesitant at the quality at first because of the cheap price, but Taleisnik does grade A work. I highly recommend him if you are in the market for quality breast augmentation. Lastly, I’d like to say that he has a very nice demeanor and makes you feel comfortable. He is a perfectionist and constantly checks up on you to make sure you are healing correctly. Thank you Dr. Taleisnik, for making my beautiful girlfriend even better!

I am so shocked that someone had something bad to say about Dr. Taleisnik. I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Taleisnik in 2006 and he was absolutely amazing.
I had just about given up on the idea of getting any work done because after several consultations with different doctors I could not find one I liked or trusted. They either came off as creepy, rushed or clueless as to what I wanted. I wanted to natural looking implant (I’m 5’10″ and size A cup), so I wanted to go bigger but not HUGE.
Dr. Taleisnik came highly recommended by a friend of mine, so I thought I would give this one last shot.
Dr. Taleisnik was re assuring and completely understood my needs. He talked me through all of my options, described the differences between the implants and gave me an idea of what to expect when surgery was complete. He didn’t give me any false expectations, he was very accurate with what to expect. When we were in the office for consultation and again for pre-​op, I never felt like he was trying to rush me out the door. He took his time, answered all my questions and made sure I was satisfied before leaving.
Day of surgery he was great. He even posed for a picture with me :) When I went under I was so excited about waking up with new breasts. Dr. Taleisnik did an amazing job. Of course I was sore when I came to, but he had told me to expect that. I went home and followed Dr.‘s orders. He even called me that evening (on a Friday night) to follow up with me and remind me of how to take care of myself post op.
The entire experience was great. I would love to go back to him in the future if I require any more plastic surgery.
It’s been about 6 – 7 yrs now and I still love my breasts :) I’ve had 2 kids since my surgery and they held up fine. I had no problems breast feeding which was huge relief.
My recommendation here is don’t judge him off a bad post. I seriously can’t believe anyone could have a negative thing to say. Book a consultation and see for your self.

After looking for months, I chose Dr. Taleisnik to do my breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures. I based my decision on the before and after photos he showed me in his office as well as his experience as a hand surgeon. I figured, someone who worked on tiny tendons in hands must pay very close attention to detail. I think that was even part of his pitch. I researched the pro’s and con’s of having cosmetic surgery. I watched TV shows, researched pics on the web, asked my friends and family if they knew of a good doctor. I was prepared for the scar across my tummy (I had had a c-​secion before, so that was no big deal). I was excited to remove the excess belly skin from my two pregnancies.
Unfortunately, there is not one part of my cosmetic surgery that I am happy with the outcome.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
For my Breast Augmentation, I wanted firm breasts meant for a forty year old. I wanted to be a C, not a big C, just a C. I was looking forward to buying cute bras for the first time that didn’t weigh more than my cat. I opted to NOT get a lift, because I was looking for nice forty year old breasts, so a little hang was ok with me. Well, when all was said and done, I was not a C, but a D+. He said it was swelling and would go down over time. Well, they never went down. So, no cute bras for me.
When I raise my hands over my head and flex my breast muscle, it is VERY OBVIOUS that i have had them done. The muscle on the underside of my breasts are awkward and parts are very uneven. Touching my nipples to this day is very painful; which is weird because before my surgery, I had very little sensation in my nipples. Bite, flick, squeeze… no problem! But now, it hurts to even wash my nipples. I have to be very gentle… and no more crazy play for my husband in this area any more. Probably why he wished I didn’t have any of this work done for this reason alone. And I still have very little sensation on most of my breasts… other than the painful nipple thing.
TUMMY TUCK
My tummy tuck resulted in pain in my belly for about 15 – 16 months, then one day, BOOP, my tummy popped out and the pain was gone. Not sure if this was the stitching coming loose, or what, but pain gone was a great thing. I also have a very ugly scar because part of the stitching was too long and prohibited healing of my stomach tissue for months. This resulted in an absess that eventually healed, leaving a dark ugly scar right in the middle of my larger scar. The reason it finally healed was because I was able to cut the stitching below skin level and finally it started to heal.
BELLY BUTTON
Where to begin. For his inability to construct a decent belly button is reason enough to NOT choose Dr. Taleisnik. My belly button looks like a cut & paste belly button. He made ZERO attemp to make it look natural. At some point I showed my belly button to another doctor. He shook his head and said, «he could have at least tried to make it look natural. This is your basic no frills belly button.»
I also had another inner stich that kept my belly button from healing. I am still trying to get that lil bugger cut belowe the skin line, but no luck. So… real ugly belly button with really ugly belly button scar. Needless to say… not a fan of my belly button!!!
LIPOSUCTION
HIPS & THIGHS — The lipo on my hips & thighs was ok (meaning symetrical); but it seemed like Dr. Taleisnik barely took anything out. He said I would loose about 20 lbs with the lipo, but because of the breast augmentation adding 10 or so lbs, I would not see much of a weight loss on the scale. (Made sense. But I really didn’t care what the scale said… same weight but with a smaller butt and bigger breasts… who could complain, right. *raises hand*
CHIN — The lipo on my chin was not worth doing. The only thing it did was give me an uneven chin and a new (bigger) scar that replaced the one I received falling of my bike at age 9. Again, it didn’t seem like he even tried to make it look even. Just sucked out what he got on the first go-​around. Bada-​bing-​bada-​bang. DONE.
BUTT — The lipo on my butt was and is horrific. Now, I actually did NOT want any lipo on my butt. My husband and I were happy with my butt. But, unfortunately and obviously, Dr. Taleasnik did not know how to transition from doing lipo on my hips and thighs and have them blend in with an un-lipo’d butt. Not only is it 100% obvious where he stopped lipo, but my left butt cheek is way way different than my right butt cheek. My right cheek has an indent in it, where he stopped the lipo. It is soooo mis-​shapen that I have to laugh just to keep from crying. On the otherhand, my left butt cheek protrudes out. I do not know if this is because he blended better on this side or what. But two totally different butt cheeks.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. TALEISNIK FOR PLASTIC SURGERY!!!
I should have known by the tarter on his teeth that details were not his forte!!!
