Dino R Elyassnia, MD

My experience with Dr. Elyassnia and the staff was wonderful. I know that might be a strange way to describe a surgical experience but it was, From the 1^st consult to the 4 month follow up. He is not only a very skilled surgeon but also an artist. He is also very kind and understanding.
I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck. I am thrilled with the outcome. My breasts look perky and natural .My tummy is flat with a beautiful curvy waist. When I run into people I have not seen for a while they think I lost 20 lbs. Little do they know it was just getting rid of all the loose skin and reducing my breasts from a triple D to a C.
I highly recommend Dr. Elyassnia. I think you will be very happy you decided to chose him.

I am very happy with my results and would return for any of my plastic surgery needs throughout my life. Dr. Elyassnia is very skilled. I had stubborn lovehandles that diet and exercise were not getting rid of and my breasts had deflated after nursing/​pumping. Now I have a small waist and big natural breasts! I plan to return next year to do more fat grafting. The staff were very professional and friendly. The results are amazing!

From the consultation to surgery to post-​surgery, Dr. Elyassnia has made this experience as comfortable and seamless as possible. I had no second doubts whatsoever choosing him as my surgeon. He is so talented and extremely professional. He was very realistic and honest about how my BA would turn out, and I am 100% happy with the final outcome. His staff (Brittani, Mindy and Paulina) were all amazing as well from just general questions and scheduling appointments. Everyone was so warm and friendly. Plus, his office looks amazing! So clean, modern and chic. I love visiting his office every time! I am so thankful I found Dr. Elyassnia and went through with my BA. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Elyassnia is a skillful surgeon. The results of my BA are very natural. My incision scars are almost non existent. I was able to breastfeed 3 years after the surgery with no milk production or latch issues. After nursing for a year the appearance is just as good if not better because they look even more natural. I have reached out to Dr. Elyassnia on several occasions years later by email to discuss questions of mine and he is always responsive and takes care to answer all my questions with his knowledge and expertise. I trust him and his skill.

Together Dr. Elyassnia and the staff at 450 Sutter will make your visit an exceptional one. From the consultation phase, to surgery, and follow up — you’re in good hands! Dr. E does a thorough job presenting all options and possible outcomes of surgery, equipping you w/​the necessary tools to make the right decision for you. The level of professionalism is phenomenal, not to mention the staff present day of surgery do a wonderful job easing nerves and making you feel comfortable.
I am thrilled with the results of my BA, and less than 2 months out of surgery I’m back to my normal everyday life happy as can be :) Highly recommend meeting with Dr. E if you’re considering plastic surgery — he’s a great individual and an excellent surgeon!

This review is LONG overdue. I don’t write reviews often, only when I HIGHLY recommend a place or completely disliked my experience whatever it was. At Dr. Elyassnia’s office I couldn’t have asked for a better experience when I got breast implants in April of this year. From the initial consultation, he took so much time to discuss every detail and predicted what you were going to ask. Then he took as many questions as I had with zero rush at all since it’s such a life-​changing surgery you’re about to get. The women at the front desk were so lovely and accommodating every visit I had, they were also so responsive when it came to phone calls and answering any other questions I had. On actual surgery day, it felt like such a personal experience. They have «private quarters» when it comes to surgery and no other patients are around… had my own room, my own nurse, my own anesthesiologist, my own doctor! Feeling like you’re their only concern while there felt very comforting. I had a few other consultations before and after meeting Dino and there was no doubt in my mind that I made the right move when I decided to go with him, hands down. Thank you to all at your office for making a very scary experience… very, very comforting and effortless. Keep doing what you’re doing!

You walk into their sleek clinic on Sutter street, a modern Oasis among the ancient doctor’s office in Union Square that I am so used to, to be greeted by their friendly, efficient staff. You are whisked away to a comfortable couch and offered refreshments as you wait only minutes in that nice energy set to the din of ultra cool lounge music in the background to meet Dr. Elyassnia –a competent and emotionally intelligent physician with a first-​class bedside manner. As you discuss what you are looking to do, Dino will listen, show you pictures, and give you the options in an honest and extremely knowledgeable manner, never sugar-​coating the risks or giving false promises. He is more an artist and realist than a myopic, procedure-​focused surgeon, the kind of doctor that will step back, as if analyzing a sculpture, and envision the form you are partnering with him to manifest in your body. I went to him for a breast augmentation and he helped me choose the perfect size; he understands and has techniques to overcome human biases, avoiding common mistakes most women make when under– or overestimating the size. The effective, high-​touch service doesn’t goes all the way through surgery day — the surgery starts on time with no red tape and Dr. Elyassnia is fast, efficient. You are pampered and made to feel special throughout. Going to the Marten Clinic is an experience that is strangely so positive that you want to plan your next procedure.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I wanted to write a review for Dr. Dino since there are not many reviews for male liposuctions. I am in my late thirties and my problem area were my flanks and abdomen. I researched and interviewed several doctors, Dr. Dino made me feel at ease and was honest about the procedure and results (many were promising a Daniel Craig body in a short period of time).
His staff is amazing, when you go to his clinic, they get to know you and like him, make it an easy and smooth process. I had my surgery in late August and I was lucky to say that even though I had a slim body type and not a great deal to be removed, I saw the changes immediately. Now months later, I am seeing even more results and I am extremely happy… he sculpted my body and it looks completely natural.
He checked in with me several times after the procedure… the first few days, it was a bit painful (you need your core to get up!), but it went away fairly fast… only took 2 pain killers.
I really recommend DR. Dino and if I ever need another lipo, I am going back to him.
Thanks again for making me like my body again and for making it an easy process.

From the moment I went in for my breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Elyassnia and team were so professional and made the entire process seamless. Dr. Elyassnia was easy to talk to, very informative about the procedure & gave me all the facts without pressure. There is a sense of calmness that Dr. Elyassnia exudes and makes you feel at ease. It has been five weeks since my surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I cannot praise Dr. Elyassnia & his amazing staff enough. They were absolutely wonderful. If you are considering some type of treatment I highly recommend Dr. Elyassnia. You won’t regret.

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience. Dr. Elyassnia exceeded my expectations! My results are exactly what I wanted. His staff is warm, friendly and helpful. At every appointment I had, he spent the time to thoughtfully answer all of my questions and ease all of my worries/​concerns. I never felt rushed or pressured. I would recommend Dr. Elyassnia to anyone.

I am so happy to have chosen Dr. Elyassnia as my rhinoplasty surgeon. HE IS AMAZING. He gave me exactly what I wanted and I would highly recommend him for Rhinoplasty. I love my results!

Mind-​blowing results and the best care I’ve had from a doctor and staff.
I had a wonderful experience getting my breasts done with Dr. Elyassnia and his staff. They were very helpful every step of the way and always available to answer questions. It was extremely well priced for the excellent service I received. Dr. Elyassnia is an expert, and I felt very confident before and after the surgery. I think what impressed me the most was that he even called me on a Sunday over Labor Day weekend to ask how I was doing, no doctor ever does that!
I would definitely recommend him!

Dr and staff are warm, friendly and professional from the consultation to surgery. I had a friend refer me and upon reading previous reviews I knew I had made the right decision to have Dr E perform my BA.
Dr E. answered all my concerns during our consultation without even asking, that’s how thorough he is. He’s easy to talk to which was important to me, made me feel comfortable, he’s just a genuine and down to earth Dr.
Surgery day couldn’t have gone any smoother. All I asked was to make them look good and he did just that. I’m very happy with the size and recovery has been a breeze (1 week PO).
If you’re looking for a outstanding Dr that takes pride in his work and has an awesome staff that really take care of you then look no further.
See for yourself, you will definitely not regret it.
Let me break it down:
–Beautiful Sutter St building with parking garage
–Gorgeous office
–Down to earth Dr that does fabulous work and has exceeded all of my expectations
–Warm and caring Staff
What more can you ask for?

Had my first cosmetic surgery ever last May 14.
I was literally flat chested and wanted 700cc. I ended up getting 650cc. It was just a month and a week but my breast looks phenominal! It dropped dramatically in a very short period of time! I am very happy. And the fact that its been only a month, I cant wait now for the ultimate result!!!
Beyond perfection! One of the best surgeons around the Bay Area and probably in the US!
Thanks to all staff members as well! Very Polite and professional! Kudos!

I am a 46 year old man who eats well, exercises daily, dresses decent and enjoys moving with the city. All that being said, there was one area that would not cooperate, my neck area from side to side & from chin to my lower neck. It was always difficult to see any positive advances made in other areas when my neck was the first thing I would notice.
After checking with a few other surgeons, I googled top-​rated SF cosmetic surgeons & found Dr. Elyassnia. The best google search I’ve ever done! I’m a very anxious person but from the minute I walked through their door and was greeted by Kelly, I was at ease. The staff was brillant and the office was professional & stylish with zero attitude.
Meeting Dr. Elyassnia was the next step and the experience only got better. Before even shaking hands he already seemed hard at work studying my features. After chatting a bit about why I was there, his suggestions were more natural and less invasive than expected. His goal was to make me look fresh and healthy without making me look like someone other than me.
My experience both pre & post-​op was excellent. From walking into the surgery facility to checking out of recovery, the surgical staff did everything to keep me comfortable and at ease. By the way, one of the coolest looking facilities in town.
As far as the surgery goes, instructions were always clear before and after. I can honestly say the most difficult part of my recovery was 3 to 4 days of inconvenience in my mobility and not being able to sleep with my pillow. I am in no way a vain person who is trying to look 25 again and feel Dr. Elyassnia helped me pull all the parts and pieces together.
Thank you Dr. Elyassnia, Kelly, Britni, Cameron, Breezy, Helen and all others who I was too drugged up to remember.

I had a rhinoplasty procedure done by Dr. Elyassnia in July. The entire experience was amazing and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My nose looks very natural and while the «bump» is gone and my nose is totally symmetrical no one can ever tell that I had surgery.
The staff and facility are seriously top notch and I felt very well taken care of the day of the procedure.
One of the reasons I chose Dr. Elyassnia is because the surgery is done on site and not in a hospital.
Thank you!

I’m 63 years old. On January 29, 2015, Dr. Elyassnia did a face lift, neck lift, temple lift, laser resurfacing and fat transfers to my face. I had done a lot of research on the recovery from such procedures and all the photos I’d viewed on different websites made me expect to have a lot of swelling and bruising over the 3 or 4 days post-​op which the various physicians said would eventually disappear. I am now 10 days post-​op and NEVER did experience that swelling or bruising. The first few days were very painful, especially the neck drains, but it would have been so much worse if swelling or bruising had been present. Only 4 days after surgery, I was already so pleased with the beautiful results! And it has only gotten better since then. Dr. Elyassnia is not only a gifted surgeon, but he’s also compassionate, kind, concerned and such a sweetheart! And along with being an expert technician, he has a natural artist’s eye as well. And there was an extra unexpected benefit, as well. I had a small roll of fat on my belly that I couldn’t get rid of no matter what I’d tried. Now that fat is in my face and my belly is flat again. I couldn’t be happier! YAY!

Dr. Dino Elyassnia is a phenomenal Plastic Surgeon! My whole experience from beginning to end was wonderful. I went in for a nose job for both cosmetics and also to fix a deviated septum that has been affecting my breathing for some time. Every step of the way I was impressed. Both the surgical nurses and anesthesiologist called me ahead of surgery to go over everything leading up to the procedure. They were very thorough and really made me feel as comfortable as possible. The surgery went great and I LOVE the results! My breathing is significantly better and I am only 1.5 weeks after surgery! Dr. Elyassnia took the time to explain the process, what to expect and really listened to what I wanted and gave me just that. I had a quick and easy recovery. The staff was very professional, kind and made me feel completely taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Elyassnia, he really is the best!

I have had Liposuction on my legs and Facial Fat Grafting done 5 months ago with Dr. Elyassnia. I can not be any happier with the result. I have been looking for a plastic surgeon for lipo for almost two years and I have had quite a few consults with several surgeons in San Francisco. During the consult he mentioned how I can benefit from fat grafting. I am 40 years old and I have started seeing some aging in my face, which I have been trying to manage with injecting fillers. He spent a very long time on the consult appointment and made sure that it is all clear for me. The team were extremely supportive and thorough and they walked me through every single step. Britni, Kelly, Helen and Dr. Wong, the anesthesiologist have been very helpful. The procedure went very smoothly. The recovery was very easy. I just took one pain-​killer. The post-​op appointments were great and I LOVE my new face and body.
I am very glad that I did the fat grafting, which was not my main concern initially. Now I look 10 – 15 years younger and happier without any trace of any procedures. It looks VERY natural and it was all pain-​free. I get so many complements that makes me feel like changing my career to modeling.;) I don’t have to be worried about looking tired or the recovery time from fillers.
I have never had any plastic surgeries done before and I was scared of many things, like pain, result and… The whole experience was so amazing that left me with just one regret… I wish if I had done it earlier.
If you are looking for a surgeon who listens to your needs and who is very competent and a very strong team to support you, you should consider Dr. Elyassnia and Marten Clinic.

This review is soooooo overdue! I meant to write it months ago but never completed it… Anyway of course like others I had a few consultations, Dr. Elyassnia was the 2^nd Dr. I had a consultation with. I continued to «look» and went on several other consultations but none of them did it for me. I’m so glad I decided to go with Dr. Elyassnia and staff. Everything went so smoothly. It’s been almost a year and I have had no complaints or issues. I love my boobs!
