Dr. Aric Aghayan, MD

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Aghayan and his team at Après! From consultation through my six-week follow-up, my experience has been exceptional. Consult- I had my consultation August 31st, knowing I wanted breast augmentation ASAP after over a year of considering it. Other surgeons were booking 3-4 months out, but Dr. Aghayan accommodated my surgery just TEN days later. One thing that really set my consultation apart was Crisalix 3D imaging. At previous consultations, I’d been given bras and implants to try on, which never felt like a realistic representation of potential results. The 3D imaging was incredibly helpful in visualizing different options. I brought inspiration photos, and Dr. Aghayan thoroughly explained breast width diameter, implant sizing, what my frame could accommodate, and how to achieve my goals while maintaining realistic expectations. Having breastfed two children (one for 18 months) and losing over 100 pounds, my breasts had lost essentially all fullness. Amazingly, I didn’t require a lift. We chose fuller Motiva implants suited to my frame. We discussed different approaches, including Preserve, but ultimately decided traditional over-the-muscle placement best aligned with my goals. Surgery/post-op- Surgery was short with a 1pm check in and discharge home by 5pm. My recovery was remarkably easy. Surgery was Thursday, and I didn’t need pain medication until Friday. That day, I took just two doses and was already walking around my neighborhood and an outdoor shopping center, comfortable in sweats, zip-up tops, and my compression bra. Saturday, just two days post-op, I attended my daughter’s football game, where she was cheerleading. I wore regular clothes, felt great, and needed only one dose of prescription medication before switching to ibuprofen. Sunday and Monday required only ibuprofen, and by Tuesday, I needed absolutely nothing and was back to work. I never experienced excruciating or debilitating pain, just manageable postoperative discomfort. Follow up- I was delighted to receive a call to my cell from Dr. Aghayan on Friday, the day after surgery, to check on my recovery. At my follow-up appointment the next week, bandages were removed, and everything was healing beautifully. Dr. Aghayan explained that final results could take 3-4 months to settle, but by six weeks, everything had already dropped and settled beautifully. My scars are essentially undetectable, I receive compliments constantly, and I absolutely LOVE my results. The entire staff deserves recognition. Everyone is welcoming, kind, attentive, and communicative. From offering water and ensuring you’re comfortable during appointments to providing resources and answering questions, they consistently go above and beyond. You never feel rushed. Having known Dr. Aghayan previously, I’ve always appreciated his dedication to continuing education, modern surgical techniques, innovative technology, and staying at the forefront of advancements in plastic surgery. His expertise, attention to detail, kindness and individualized approach truly distinguish him. If you’re considering breast augmentation or plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. Aghayan and Après Plastic Surgery highly enough. I went into this with high expectations, and, my results exceeded them. I couldn’t be happier with my decision or more grateful for the exceptional care I received. Thank you ❤️”

“I had surgery with Dr. Aghayan in June and am now four months post-op. My surgery went smoothly, and pain was minimal. I didn’t need prescription pain med and only took ibuprofen. I was even able to walk 10k steps within the next few days. My scars have also healed beautifully. Dr. Aghayan was honest, professional, and collaborative throughout the process. I chose the implant size, and he recommended the profile to achieve my desired natural, “Pilates body” aesthetic. The office is clean, the staff is super friendly, and I especially appreciate the multiple post-op follow-up visits. I have friends who had surgery in LA and only received one follow-up, so the continued care has been a huge plus. My only regret is not scheduling surgery in the winter and saving a little longer for Preservé implants, both of which Dr. Aghayan suggested. Looking back, I wish I had taken his advice so I could have enjoyed more of my summer. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience. I appreciate the personalized care, beautiful healing, and honest guidance. I’ll definitely recommend Dr. Aghayan to my friends and family, and I plan to return to Apres for a mommy makeover in the future.”

“Where do I even start?! Dr. Aghayan and his entire team are phenomenal! From my very first consultation, I was incredibly impressed. The office is beautiful and comfortable, and while that might not seem relevant, to me it speaks to an eye for design and attention to detail—which matters, especially in this profession! The staff was welcoming, friendly, and very professional. Dr. Aghayan took the time to answer all of my questions (of which there were many), walk me through my options, and make sure I felt completely comfortable and understood everything clearly. I had previously consulted with two other surgeons in the area and felt rushed. This was a completely different experience. After meeting with Dr. Aghayan and his team, the decision became incredibly easy. I ultimately chose the Motiva Preservé breast augmentation because I was really drawn to the new implant technology, the less invasive approach, and the philosophy of preserving as much of my natural anatomy as possible. Dr. Aghayan was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel confident that I was making the right choice for me. I’ll be honest—I was nervous going into surgery because.. well.. I don’t particularly like surgery. 😆 But the entire experience was SO much easier than I anticipated. The team at the surgery center was also incredibly friendly and supportive. I immediately felt like I was in good hands, and they took so much of my fear away. The surgery seemed to go by in a flash, and when I woke up, I was completely coherent and felt totally normal. No grogginess, no pain, and honestly, just an incredible experience overall. I’m only a few hours post-op, so I know my breasts will continue to settle and change as I heal, but I’m already very happy with the results! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, a better outcome, or a better team. Dr. Aghayan and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. I very sincerely and highly recommend them! ❤️🍒✨”

“Dr. Aghayan and Team, I am writing to share my sincere gratitude and testimonial following my recent procedure. I would hands down recommend Dr. Aghayan and his amazing staff. From the moment you walk in, everyone is so welcoming—from the front staff, to the consultation, to the financial team. Everyone is very knowledgeable. I got the mommy makeover last week and, honestly, I couldn't be happier. I know I still have a lot of healing to do, but I can already notice the incredible results, and the way they take care of you post op is amazing. Thank you all so much for your wonderful care! Best regards, Jennifer Montiel”

“Dr. Aghayan and his amazing staff helped me get my confidence back! After losing 140 pounds, I was left with loose skin and wanted my outside to match how great I felt on the inside. From the beginning, Dr. Aghayan took a lot of time answering my questions and walking me through the consultation process. I felt heard, supported, and encouraged, and I really appreciated how honest he was about surgery, recovery, and what I could realistically expect from my results. I ended up having a lower body lift and breast augmentation. Recovery and healing can definitely be tough, but Dr. Aghayan and his staff are there for you every step of the way. There will probably be some ups and downs during recovery, and having a skilled surgeon and a caring team makes all the difference. I’m now about seven months post-op, and my results keep getting better. One thing I’d tell anyone thinking about surgery is to trust the process and give your body the time and grace it needs to heal. Having a surgeon and staff who truly care about your outcome is just an added bonus. I would absolutely recommend Apres Plastic Surgery to anyone looking to restore their confidence. I’m so grateful for the care I received and couldn’t be happier with my decision.”
