“I first found and visited Changes plastic surgery in January 2026 and my surgery was in February. Words can't express how grateful I am to and for everyone at Changes. As someone who suffers from severe PTSD, taking this step took years, but I would not have gone forward if it had not been for Dr. Rossi and his OUTSTANDING team. Nicole is a dream! I don't know how she does all that she does! She was so compassionate and caring from the very first time we spoke! Alex and Maddie are two of the nurses I had the privilege of being in the care of post op and they were both incredibly knowledgeable. One of my sutures popped (my own fault) and Alex always made herself available for all of my concerns during the healing process. Maddie is one of the sweetest souls I've ever met, as is Shanae who is the very skilled and attentive masseuse from whom I received my lymphatic massages- I highly recommend!! Camryn and Maddie at the front desk always greeted me by name and with the warmest smiles. I had a scar revision with PA Kaydee due to the popped suture. Again, exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable in her field and simply one of the nicest people I've ever met. Dr. Rossi is without a doubt the best at what he does. My results are beyond what I (and my husband) expected. He is a true artist and master in his field. He genuinely cares about his patients and is honest with what could be expected- even so, in my case, I was still blown away with what he achieved. Each and every person at Changes is an invaluable asset to the team and they ALL really do treat you like family. Even though we have since moved out of state, I do plan to return in the very near future. I wouldn't trust anyone else!!! Thank you and blessings to each and every one of you!!!”
“There are moments in life when you meet someone whose talent changes far more than what you can see in the mirror, and that is exactly what Dr. Rossi has been for me. I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Rossi was one of the best decisions I have ever made. His technical skill, artistic eye, and attention to detail are truly exceptional. The results he created for me are beautiful, natural, and beyond anything I could have hoped for. He has an incredible ability to see not just features, but the whole person, and to enhance what is already there in a way that feels authentic and effortless. What makes Dr. Rossi extraordinary, however, is that his gift extends far beyond surgery. From the very beginning, he made me feel safe, understood, and cared for. As someone who struggles with anxiety, that meant everything. Every appointment left me feeling reassured, confident, and certain that I was in the best possible hands. The greatest gift he gave me wasn’t simply a refreshed appearance, it was helping me recognize myself again. Over the years, I had slowly lost some of my confidence and spark. Looking in the mirror no longer reflected how I felt inside. Through his remarkable skill and artistry, he helped bridge that gap. He gave me back a sense of confidence that I thought was gone, and that has impacted my life in ways I can’t fully put into words. Dr. Rossi has a rare combination of surgical excellence, artistic vision, and genuine compassion. The results speak for themselves, but what I will remember most is how he made me feel throughout the journey: valued, supported, and cared for every step of the way. I am profoundly grateful for his talent, his kindness, and the confidence he helped restore. His work changed more than my appearance, it changed how I see myself. For that, I will always be thankful. If you are considering surgery and want a surgeon who is not only skilled but genuinely compassionate, I cannot recommend Dr. Rossi and his amazing and outstanding staff enough.”
“I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Rossi and his entire team. From start to finish, everything felt seamless and professional. Dr. Rossi is truly an artist, his attention to detail and ability to create natural, beautiful results is unmatched. I am beyond happy with my inner and outer thigh lipo results and feel so much more confident. Nicole, the patient coordinator, was also incredible to work with. She was always kind, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. I always felt supported and well taken care of. I can’t recommend Dr. Rossi and his team enough. If you’re considering any procedure, you will be in the best hands here!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with this practice. From my very first consultation through my final follow-up, I felt genuinely cared for, heard, and supported every step of the way. My breast lift and augmentation results are absolutely amazing—natural, beautifully balanced, and beyond what I hoped for. The surgeon’s skill, attention to detail, and professionalism truly show in the outcome. Dr. Rossi isn’t lying when he says he’s an artist, and truly the best surgeon in San Diego. I feel more confident and comfortable in my body than I have in years. The entire staff is kind, welcoming, and professional, but I want to especially recognize Nicole, the office manager. She is incredible—warm, responsive, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure questions were answered and everything ran smoothly. She made the entire process feel seamless and reassuring. This office truly treats you like family, not just a patient. I’m so grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend this surgeon and team to anyone considering a breast lift or augmentation. Exceptional results and an exceptional experience.”
“Dr. Rossi and Alex were very helpful and willing to talk through all of my questions and I felt good about. surgery two weeks out. I just completed my last follow-up with Dr. Rossi and Madeline. I’ve wanted a breast reduction for over 4 decades and absolutely couldn’t be happier with what he did, how he listened, and his encouragement is truly amazing. This was part one, tummy tuck is part two! Part Two, complete tummy tuck. I am 8 months out from the surgery and I am so happy with Dr. Rossi and his team. He is Professional, caring, thorough, and the amount of follow up shows his continued thoughtfulness of how things are going. I continue to be amazed at what I can wear now. Shopping isn’t awful anymore! Thank you Dr. Rossi. You should go out and buy yourself another new suit!”
