LEA Plastic Surgery - Goretti Ho Taghva MD, FACS

I have been with Dr. Taghva over six months since Jan 2024 and wanted to give a thorough review, history, and experience with Dr. Taghva and LEA Plastic Surgery.

I wanted to perform a Lower Blepharoplasty surgery in order remove my excessive fat deposits under both my eyelids but was afraid on WHO and WHERE to perform this surgery. Based on my exhausting research, I have concluded that there is NO non-invasive procedure that can remove the fat deposits under my eyes which was confirmed with numerous plastic surgeons. This being the case, my final decision was to choose a doctor who made me feel comfortable and was meticulous in their practice. After many consultations with numerous doctors, I chose Dr. Taghva.

Pros:
1) No consultation fee (ALL others wanted to charge me $250-500 per consultation).
2) During my initial video call, Dr. Taghva was patient and took the time in explaining my current skin concern and answered ALL my questions (which was a LOT) since I was nervous and never had any cosmetic surgery before.
3) No pressure or sales pitch from Dr. Taghva
4) I could tell Dr. Taghva was genuinely engaged and qualified to handle my skin concerns and remedies (remove fat deposits, reduce hyper-pigmentation, unevenness skin tone, reduce wrinkles, youthful look, etc).
5) Dr. Taghva was genuinely confident in handling my needs in order to get my final outcome and results.
6) Extensive medical background and education (a MUST for me)
7) Actual surgery room was literally next door to her office in the same building (all inclusive medical support and procedure). A major plus and a MUST for me.
8) On the day of my surgery, I had more questions and concerns, but she answered all of them to put me at ease. I truly felt comfortable.
9) Dr. Taghva's staff was friendly, professional, and supportive.
10) Post surgery and follow-up call was an amazing experience since I was not expecting this.
11) Environment was extremely clean, refreshing, and calm experience
12) No scarring or complications after surgery other than swelling and bruising which was informed to me prior to surgery
13) My recovery was minimal (approx. 2-3 weeks) since I took Dr. Taghva's advice religiously
14) Additional benefit of having a Lower Blepharoplasty surgery with Dr. Taghva was that she was able to perform at the same time a slight lower eye lift to reduce my lower eye wrinkles (no extra charge).
15) Huge improvements & results after my surgery. My friends could not believe that I had eye surgery and commented that I looked younger and refreshed. No one could see any surgery complications or issues other than the stitches and slight bruising after one week.

Cons:
NONE

Neutral:
Only wished Dr. Taghva was located closer to me but definitely worth the drive.

Other Procedures/Services:
After my surgery I was extremely enthused in solving and addressing my hyper-pigmentation, unevenness skin tone, reduce wrinkles, youthful look, etc. but wanted to incorporate the best "laser type" procedure for my concerns and condition but did NOT want micro-needling. Dr. Taghva suggested and recommended BBL (BroadBand Light) and MOXI Laser in combination with a medical grade daily skin care routine (ZO) for BEST results.

Dr. Taghva highly recommended ZO Skincare in order to achieve amazing results in combination with BBL and Moxi Laser. She also informed me that she has all the current machines and equipment in the industry but recommended BBL and Moxi Laser for me while using ZO skincare everyday.

After my 2nd BBL and Moxi Laser treatment including my daily ZO skincare routine, my face has taken a 360 degree change and hasn't looked this good in over 15+ years (see pics). I am currently 55 years old and have used several OTC brands of skincare (Korean beauty, retinol, chemical peels, etc) for the past 15 years with little or minimal results. Nothing seemed to work as well as ZO. Results with ZO for 6+ months was way more effective than 15 years of OTC brands (wasted money for the last 15 years on other brands).

I highly recommend Dr. Taghva and her staff.

The facials and laser skin treatments at Lea Plastic Surgery have really improved the texture and clarity of my skin. It’s hard to believe that it’s been only a few months post laser (Moxi & bbl); followed by a series of monthly facials with Wynn. I am impressed with how quickly and effectively my new skincare regimen is progressing. I trust everyone here with my beauty needs, there is no push to try new products or services. I am also relieved to have finally found a place to get facials to keep my skin clear without irritation. I highly recommend Dr. Taghva and her staff!!!

I love, love this place. Fair pricing for the level of service delivered and top quality products / technicians. Donna the front lady is always so friendly and warm. Having a great office team is sometimes overlooked at other establishments but this office got it right!
I also love Jenny the RN! I am not new to Botox or fillers, but I have never had a better experience than the one I had with Jenny. She is very knowledgeable, gentle with the needle and understands the look you want to achieve. I would strongly recommend you seeing her. She also does not try and up sell. I will be coming back for all my aesthetic procedures. Thank you Jenny! You are heaven sent! Already looking forward to my next appointment in a few months!

I had upper eyelid surgery with Dr. Taghva a couple of weeks ago and the results are already AMAZING!!! I am still a tad swollen but oh my goodness what a difference. My eyes look so much bigger and brighter. I feel so much confident having done this. The whole experience was amazing from the start. Everyone in the office was super nice and professional. I couldn’t be HAPPIER!

I’ve gotten lip filler here twice with Carol, and my lips always come out beautifully! Carol is so sweet and listens to the lip goals or concerns you may have. She does an amazing job at creating the desired shape/fullness, while still respecting the anatomy of the lips and making it look natural. Everyone here is always very nice and welcoming. I always have a wonderful experience here at LEA plastic surgery!
