Patient Success Stories

"Danya,

Thank you for making me look so much younger. I have received so many compliments – I think you took 10 years off me."

Anna (from Burbank, CA for lower eyelid restylane and Botox treatments)

"My eyes are looking sooo good!! Thank to you. I love it. I do appreciate all of the many appts to get done so right. I know you've gone out of your way to achieve such good results. Thank you so much."

Sandie (from Ontario, California, upper eyelid surgery)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Susan was right about everything she said about you and more. Thank you for your time, for your advice. In honor of you, I'll donate to Smile Train.

Respectfully,

T.W. (from Los Angeles, facial filler consultation)

"Danya,

Thank you for all of your talent, energy, and sensitivity - helping me cross over to "the other side".

XOXO,"

Laura (filler and Botox patient from Missouri)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig and wonderful staff,

Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my sister during and after her surgery. Your care and attention meant a lot to both of us. All the best,"

Julie (sister in Beverly Hills, facelift and fat transfer)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig and staff,

I wanted to thank you that you took me in today and for the attention and service. I will never forget it. You were really unbelievable. Once again thank you very much. Best regards. Very sincerely,"

Benjamin

"Danya,

I've been so busy since my appointment but wanted to let you know my impressions so far on Xeomin. In a phrase, I love it! Upon awakening the day after my appointment, my "lateral brow-lift" had already taken effect and by the morning of the third day, it was all systems go. Actually, this is the best liquid brow-lift yet.

Anyway, I look great and had 2 new acquaintances almost fell over when I told them my real age. Love that.

I really appreciate the time you take with me to answer my endless questions as well as your eye for aesthetics and your honesty. Every experience I've had at your office has been more than positive and your staff is just amazing. What a change from the Doctor I was seeing for Botox/Juvey in Valencia!

I am really looking forward to my consult with Dr. H in the new year and will schedule my procedure when I see him.

Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving."

"Dr Hoenig,

You were sent from above! I am so thankful for your talents! You are pretty wonderfu! Thank you!"

Jackie

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

One year ago today you did my facelift and this is a much overdue thank you. You are such a caring doctor. I was amazed when you came to my house to remove my bandages and then kept in touch with me every day for a week. Little did I know that that was just the beginning of a year of special treatment. It was a comfort to know that I could contact you personally whenever I felt the need. There aren't many doctors who will do this.

Thank you for all you have done for me and continue to do for me. I'm so glad that I found you!!!

With sincere thanks,"

G.R. (from Granada Hills, CA, browlift, upper eyelid surgery, necklift, fat transfer)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you from the deepest depth of my being. You have given me back my confidence when all the other Drs. I visited gave me little hope. You are a genius and a most caring Dr.

I am late in sending my deep gratitude as I am in a very serious relationship. He thinks I am beautiful and you have made me that way..........

To anyone that reads this, I just want to say that I had a very botched facelift and this Dr. restored my eyes and neck. My neck has never looked like this since I was 30. He loves his work which is so obvious when you meet him and the follow-up is unbelievable!

I consulted with 5 different best of Beverly Hills docs and Dr. Hoenig is the only one that took the challenge. Thanks again. I know you are helping someone else as I write this..... "

Janet (from Palm Springs, CA, face and necklift revision, bilateral eyelid canthoplasty)

"Dear Danya,

My face looks amazing! You did a fabulous job! I have become a customer for life! Thank you so much."

MaryAnn (botox and juvederm patient)

"Dear Danya,

Thank you so much for seeing me yesterday and on such short notice! I am thrilled with the results to help my Moh's surgery scar and the dog ear. Makes a huge difference!

I really had no idea how much my right cheek had been sunken as a result of closing up the wound. But I can sure see the difference now!

Thanks again.You're the BEST!"

Barbara (from Brentwood, botox and juvederm filler patient of Danya)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig and Danya,

Thank you so much for all you have done for me. You have exceeded all my expectations (high ;) ). From the environment of the office, your kindness, and caring to your beautiful work. I am beyond pleased and you will be highly recommended for any facial surgery or skin care.

Many thanks,"

D. B. (Beverly Hills facelift patient)

"What can I say about Dr Hoenig? Words cannot describe how pleased I am with my Facelift surgery experience. Dr Hoenig is a kind, gifted artist and passionate master - a true perfectionist with a sharp eye for the smallest of details- and a genuinely caring person.

In this day and age, with so many plastic surgeons offering procedures on every corner of our streets, yet so little of them having the talent for excellent results, I feel blessed to have met Dr Hoenig. This truly has been a great experience- before, during, and after - and I would recommend Dr Hoenig to anyone without any hesitations, knowing that I am passing on the blessing on to other women who will be so fortunate to know about Dr Hoenig."

A.B. (Beverly Hills facelift patient)

"This is me after 9 hours on the job, at midnight in the locker room at work and I have never looked better!! Wow!! One of the young girls I work with came to me tonight for bridal make-up advice because I look so "fresh". I nearly fell over laughing, but she was much too young to know the truth.

I'm so impressed with Dr. H's work I can't tell you. I have never looked this good in my life. No joke. No undefined heavy cheeks!!! Fabulous jawline!

I feel like when I get compliments now (and they happen randomly, this is new!) I feel I should say: "Thanks! I'm wearing a Hoenig" :) :)

M.S. (from Menlo Park, facelift patient)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you for putting me back together again. A year ago I got to find out how a tendency toward extreme self-scrutiny can go horribly wrong when I found someone who didn't say no to me, or perhaps saw "green" instead of a need to "screen".

Over time I've realized that I'd been somewhat fortunate for the most part of my life to have surrounded myself with people who managed me well. I was also smart enough to put controls in place for myself. What can I say. . .? I had a really bad day - which led to a really bad year!

I thought I would have to pay for this terrible mistake forever. It was through that thing called the Internet that I got word that you are the best. When I met you in January, I made a deal with myself that I would accept whatever you recommended and move on no matter what the outcome. If the best couldn't fix me, then I was going to have to live with my poor decision. The great news is that apparently someone took mercy on me and I don't have to live with this. You delivered and lived up to your reputation, Doctor. I can't even express what it was like to go out in public today and not have the level of anxiety I've had since this thing started. I have some work to do, but a little bit of normal was nice.

I know you don't have to take on every case, but you do have the ability to make a difference. As silly as this situation may seem to most people in world, the ramifications of having your face altered can be devastating and humiliating. You definitely have a skill that I've come to determine not many have. Because of it, I hope to now move on with my life - at least until I need the next refill :).

All the best,

D.F. (from Hungtinton Beach, CA)

"Hi Dr. Hoenig,

I just want to send a quick message to you - to let you know, I have just turned from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan.... at least I think so. Sorry for giving you a few minutes of whining back a couple of weeks ago. I respect you and your skills and knowledge about the whole picture. As I said before, I'm so honored to have you as my surgeon.

I want you to see a couple of pictures me (which I know you will say that I'm only 30% done) I still have a little bruising under the "new" lower lids, but it hides well. I'm so proud of my new self... take a look........ I'm getting compliments.

Yours sincerely,"

Joan (retired, from Redlands, CA for facelift, fat transfer, lower eyelid surgery, chin implant, chemical peel)

"Just wanted to put in my two cents about Dr. Honig being an amazing facial plastic surgeon! I started getting Botox from Dr. Hoenig back in the dark ages when he was working at Loma Linda, and I'm still his patient. He did the most incredible facelift on me in May of 2010, and continues to perform his magic with fillers. I have the neck of a twenty year old (I'm 62)!

G.V. (retired teacher from Riverside, CA for facelift, fat transfer, lip lift)

"Dr Hoenig-

I saw you this morning for restylane to fix the "dent" in the corner of my left eye + brow area. I know I wasn't a model patient & definitely nervous about the injections, but I am so happy with the results so far! The dent is gone...it may come back a little as the swelling goes but still a major improvement. Thank you for being so gentle with me. There wasn't even mild discomfort today & my swelling is minimal with no bruising. This is a night and day difference compared to what I experienced with the last doctor. Thanks again!

Jessica

"After reading this months newsletter I felt moved to write this letter.

Dr. Hoenig is the ONLY doctor I would consider going to for any kind of facial surgery. After being told by several doctors over the last twenty or so years how I needed a: browlift, cheeklift, eyelift, etc., luck brought me to your office. Despite being a top plastic surgeon, Dr. Hoenig told me that it was too soon for me to undergo surgery. Even though it meant less money in his pocket, he recommended injectables. I know first-hand that Dr. Hoenig puts his patient's welfare over his own financial considerations, and for this reason, to coin a a phrase, my face is in his hands.

Sincerely,"

Jamie Rose (actor and author)

"Dr Hoenig did my face lift and does my botox injections. This doctor is the kindest, warmest and most most wonderful Doctor that I have ever dealt with . Additionally ,his skill level is outstanding. He took about 10 years off my face and yet its totally natural looking. My recovery period was fast and swift without much swelling nor any black and blue marks. I had interviewed 10 different doctors and when I met Dr Hoenig , I had an intutitive feeling that he is the one that I need to choose. I could not have been more satisfied with my decision."

P.J. (patient from los angeles, facelift, playsmaplasty, fat transfer)

"Dear Danya and Jonathan,

Thank you so much for you kindness. I never looked forward to a doctor's visit before meeting both of you.

Warmest,"

S.K. (actor from Los Angeles, Radiesse injections)

"Danya,

Thank you again for taking your valuable time today to listen and sincerely care about my well-being. THAT is what sets your practice apart from the rest. It's like you recognize you are not only treating the person's body, but their mind and spirit as well. You and Dr. Hoenig have a special gift from God to help people with difficult eye complications. God must have been listening to my prayers. I liked that you understood and said, "this is a journey, Amy" because it IS and that is why committment and trust is so paramount. You touch people and change their lives and improve the quality of their lives. I've read that Dr. Hoenig can take really challenging cases and make them look better than nature did! I pray that I"m that blessed.

My only regret is not finding Dr. Hoenig 2 surgeries ago. Now he has the difficult job of repairing two other surgeon's mistakes/complications. But it's through his generous spirit that he is willing to take on challenging cases. Lots of plastic surgeons want only the quick and easy money patients. Dr. Hoenig, on the other hand, is a REAL doctor who does both cosmetic and reconstructive work. I'm blessed to have you on this journey with me. As a mother yourself, I'm sure you understand why it's so important for me to have this behind me. My children and husband see me suffering daily and I not only want to get better for myself, but for my family. They need me. It's been tough on them as well. You take care and I promise to do everything Dr. Hoenig tells me to do so that we get the best result possible. "

Amy (teacher from florida, eyelid surgery revision)

"Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for your kindness while I was in LA to see Dr. Hoenig… It was such a positive and warm experience with him…he took so much time explaining everything to me and I was able to put a plan in motion for future procedures with him. All of you were so kind and warm…and I am so happy with my lips: They look so pretty…I'm soo pleased I found you through Marianne. She was so helpful and kind as well.

I know I have found my future Dr. in Dr. Hoenig for other procedures and look forward to being in touch again soon.
Again thank you all!!

Warm Regards,"

S.S. (dance school owner and instructor from Florida, juvederm lip augmentation)

"Dr. Hoenig,

Just wanted to formally thank you for "fixing" me. The problem I was having for years which absolutely plagued me every day seems to be GONE thanks to you. After trying various products (Juvaderm, Restylne, etc.) to try to lessen the two deep creases under my eyes (above the cheekbone) you suggested Radiesse. It's now been a couple of weeks and the lines are still 99% gone and I don't feel/appear sad every time I look in the mirror !!! Just hoping it lasts a reasonable amount of time. You're terrific."

N.B. (clerical assistant from Woodland Hills, radiesse cheek augmentation)

"Wow! Thank you again for making me feel like I'm your only patient. You have calmed my fears and concerns and I am so glad I made the trip all the way across the nation. I must have a guardian angel looking out for me as finding Dr. Hoenig was like finding a needle in a haystack. Thanks again for everything. We will conquer ever one of my eye problems, one by one, and I'm confident in Dr. Hoenig's ability and care. Warm Regards, see you in May. Take care"

A.A. (patient from Florida, eyelid surgery revisions)

"Dear Danya,

My hands look great....honestly I think with this procedure you are responsible for taking every bit of ten years off of them. I did experience a bit of swelling...but no more then from the product itself for the first 24 hours. Unnoticeable unless you knew.

Again thanks so much for everything, to both you and Dr. Hoenig, that you do to make me feel better about my appearance.

Best wishes,"

G.R. (university administrator from Los Alamitos, for radiesse to hands)

"Dear Danya,

I wanted to thank you again for the amazing job you did with my Botox and Juvederm injections. You really are the Da Vinci of injectors and my results are amazing in that I can still move my muscles but have a smooth brow and my lines have all but disappeared from the Juvederm.

I can't imagine going to anyone else! I still look like me only refreshed and rejuvenated. Everyone keeps asking me "what's different" and comments that I look rested. I'll be back for more as soon as things start to wear off.

Thanks again,"

W.R. (wine salesperson from Valencia, CA for Botox and Juvederm injections)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I'm certain you have a file cabinet full of notes, but here's another! Thank you for your expertise and light hands! I'm thrilled to finally look rested! What a boost!

The day before, my Greek mother said, "You're going to ruin your face!", and after I saw you she said, "How long does it last?"

See you soon,"

D.B. (patient from los angeles, Restylane to lower eyelids for eyelid bags)

"Best surgeon in Los Angeles if not the planet. Had Ptosis and needed eyelid surgery. Very difficult case. Other PS's would not do the case. Dr. H made it happen. Did it beautifully, painless, professional and reasonable. I am high profile on TV and my career was at stake. The man is a "godsend". I recommend him to all without hesitation. The best!...

J.S. (attorney from Beverly Hills, ptosis eyelid surgery, posted on RealSelf.com)

Doctor Hoeing did an amazing lift to my upper face even though its several years old. I had it without anesthesia and it was both painless and bruise free. Doctor Hoenig is the the kindest, warmest plastic surgeon I have ever met and i interviewed many in beverly hills. He is not extreme but rather gives a natural look . I could not be happier with my results.

Patty (patient from los angeles, facelift, fat transfer)

"Please pass along my thanks to Dr. Hoenig. I had 5 FU injections on Monday and I've been astonished at the correction that has occurred already. After months of beating myself up for being so stupid for having undergone a fat transfer, it's nice to know there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

I never thought I'd have a Plastic Surgeon for a hero, but if I'm fortunate enough to benefit from his talents to get my confidence back and move beyond this, then he qualifies :)

Take care"

D.F. (sales director for fat transfer revision from Huntington Beach, CA)

"Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you so much for the fabulous result from my recent injections. I had always been apprehensive about getting sub-malar augmentation but I cannot believe the difference it has made in my appearance! It has taken years off of my face!

Thank you!!!

Marianne (entrepeneur for filler injections from the Inland Empire area, CA)

"Dear Danya,

Thank you so very much for your wonderful care after my first procedure. I was so glad you were with me during the lower eyelid surgery. You have a wonderful combination of professionalism and kindness. Ken is so pleased with his first Botox and filler results. You have two lifetime patients.

My sincere best regards,"

J.S. (housewife from Newport Coast, CA, lower eyelid surgery, browlift, facelift, fat transfer)

"Dear Dr Hoenig

Just a few lines to say thank you. My new eyes are looking fabulous, in the last few weeks they have really come into their own. Everyone is commenting and they don't even know I've had them done !! That's just the effect I wanted. That's it now I'm hooked. I's a procedure on every visit!

Many thanks once again. Best wishes,

N.B. (pharmaceuticals rep for upper eyelid surgery, from South Wales, UK)

"Dear Dr Hoenig,

"I want to thank you both for making me feel so at ease when I visited you, one can feel they are in great hands. My eyes are back to their normal shape, thank you so much.

Thank you,"

D.C. (under eye Restylane, from Portugal)

"Dear Dr Hoenig,

Just thought I would express my sincere thanks to you for restoring my confidence. My eyes are looking great!, just a smudge of a bruise left and that little bump is shrinking. I put my suit on this morning to go to work for the first time in 18 months feeling like 'myself'. After numerous appointments with 'top' consultants in the UK all I heard was "its swelling that will go" or "you need a mid face lift" No one but me has any idea about how this whole fiasco with restylane and hyalase affected me and I am so relieved that It is finally over and without having to go under the knife which upon your explanation would surely have been a disaster.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to the rest of your team, I was made to feel at ease during the entire time and the service you all provide is fantastic!. I will send you pics as soon as the bruise disappears so you can see the final result.....hopefully not too much will absorb. You've done a wonderful job, looks completely natural, I can't explain how grateful I am........it's better than I could have ever hoped for...


Many thanks again, Best Wishes"

Kate (medical sales rep for filler revision and lower eyelid fat transfer surgery, patient from UK)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I have a wonderful time learning from you. You are an extraordinary surgeon and a great thinker. Its one of my most memorable experiences in my training to be with you and your crews. Please keep on teaching. All the best with your health, family and business.

Respectfully,

Dr. Kelvin Chong (international oculoplastic surgery fellow from Hong Kong)

"Hello Dr Hoenig,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm finally able to close my right eye. I had surgery in Malaysia last year which resulted in my eye being wide open and not able to close. When I saw you last December, I had a black eye from restylane treatment from Dr (name removed). That made the eye go back to a normal size (not wide open) but still would not close.

Your 3 invaluable suggestions put me on the road to recovery and made life liveable. The first being your suggestion to make a moisture chamber with plastic wrap and vasaline. This probably saved my eye from serious damage. The second is the prescriptions for the external eyelid weights you faxed to me. The third is your recommendation to use the dermal tone facial stimulator.

My heartfelt thanks to you for taking the time to help me when I was not even your patient and you would not even bill me. You were extremely kind and that gave me hope and steps to take to get me through this mess.

Its fishing season in Alaska so have sent you down some seafood - hope you eat fish and that it arrived in good condition. Dont know if you have ever been to Valdez but its beautiful and the fishing is great.

Best regards,"

S.P. (from North Pole, Alaska, eyelid surgery repair)

"I was so impressed by the entire experience yesterday. Everyone in your office is professional and nice and welcoming. Danya is so gentle with injecting and "gets it." It was so great that I made an appt for three months from now.

Thank you all!

W.R. (botox with Danya)

"To Dr and Mrs Hoenig,

You have been helping my doctor to remedy the bad fat transfer I got from another doctor here in Texas. I am very grateful to you for the kindness you have shown in offering advice on a treatment plan and for your ongoing support. Please accept this gift as a token of my appreciation.

Sincerely,

V.C. (eyelid fat transfer consultation, patient in Texas)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

You performed my procedures (lower/upper lid, forehead lift) over 4 years ago. To this day people who haven't seen
me in a while tell me how great I look. It seems the procedures just get better with the years!

I also was so pleased with the "natural-ness" of my look. People aren't sure what took place with my face :, but they know something did! And to add to it all…we have a blast when we come to see you for Botox!"

J.A.M. (Long Beach, CA, browlift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, eyelid retraction repair)

"Dr. Hoenig,

Can't thank you enough! Barbara and I sincerely appreciate your extraordinary patient care and bedside manner. Your humble attitude and compassion make all the difference.

D.C. (patient from Whittier, CA, necklift)

"Dear Dr Hoenig,
Thank you for the wonderful surgeries you have done for my friends and family and the way you make me look after my fillers. I am forever greatful and will always keep referring custumers to you.You are a true artist with people and you make every individual look their best. Thanks always."

S.R.

"Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you for your honesty. I will always be grafeful for your integrity and skill. I feel that the injections definitely helped and now I just need to give it some time. Thank you for making me feel welcome! The office staff are amazing too and always have a smile on their beautiful faces.

You are wonderful people! Dr. Hoenig could have totally taken advantage of me. Instead, because he has such an enormous amount of integrity, he gave me a reality check. I will be forever grateful to know that there are people like Dr. Hoenig and you out there.

Warmest regards,"

R.K. (patient from Texas, fat transfer revisions)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I wanted to thank you for being so attentive to my concerns when we met this last May 6th. My spririts were so uplifted after our meeting. I was very grateful that you took the time to answer my questions and offer me some solutions to my under-eye circles. I have been living with this condition for rmany years and always held hope that you could provide me with some reassurances.

Thank you for being so thoughtful. Sincerely,"

M.A. (patient from Santa Rosa, CA, lower eyelid dark circle treatment)

""First do no harm" is the basic tenet of medical ethics: the Hippocratic oath, and Dr. Hoenig embodies it.

I've been a professional actress for over thirty years, have had lead roles in numerous television shows and films, and have access to the top Plastic Surgeons in L.A. I've had consultations with many of them, and most of them recommended (surprise, surprise), surgery.

When I was thirty I was told I needed an eye job and a brow lift. By age forty-five a major Beverly Hills doctor met with me at his lavishly decorated office (I wonder what his rent is?) and told me I needed a full face and neck left, to the tune of approximately thirty-five thousand dollars. Through all this, (thankfully), an inner voice kept telling me to wait. I'd seen too many friends and colleagues have their faces (and careers) ruined by aggressive plastic surgery. When I looked in the mirror, I could see lines, and yes, a bit of sagging around my eyes and neck. But I knew I still looked pretty good for my age. I was still playing five-ten years younger. So I just stuck with injectables. Nothing drastic. Nothing irreversible.

At forty-eight, I thought, OK. I think it's time. I need to get my eyes done. A friend referred me to Dr. Hoenig. Thank god. Dr. Hoenig told me I was definitely not ready for an eye-lift. That if he did it, it would look unnatural. And here's the thing: even though he is a heavily in demand plastic surgeon, who's specialty is eyes, he recommended injectables-not surgery.

Since then, I have sent several friends to Dr. Hoenig. And, he gave each person a different recommendation, one that was appropriate for him or her, rather than what was most appropriate for Dr. Hoenig's bank account. He suggested surgery to two of them, and injectables for the others.

I have been a regular patient of Dr. Hoenig's for the last two years. He has continued using Botox and Restalyne to treat my issues, and he did a medium depth chemical peel on me a few months ago with great results. And when he tells me it's time for actual surgery, I know I can trust him. Because he has proven through action that he first does no harm.

In my opinion Dr. Hoenig is the best there is. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

J.R. (patient from Malibu,CA for botox, restylane, chemical peel)

"I had work recently done by Dr. Hoenig and the results are fantastic. I'm very happy with my experience, wonderful! Because the results are so natural, my friends can't wait for their turn."

C.R. (woodland hills)

"Dear Danya and Dr. Hoenig,

I just want to express my gratitude for the beautiful work you did on my eyes. I am very happy and pleased with the results. Thank you for your exceptional care and kindness. I wish you continuous success and all the best."

N.R. (patient from los angeles, endoscopic browlift)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

It's hard for me to believe that it is almost two years since my surgery. I'm totally thrilled with the results - at 67, I've been asked for ID when I purchase senior tickets!

You have been so generous and kind to me from day one, through my follow up care and I thank you enormously. You are a gifted surgeon and a very special human being. I greatly appreciate all that you've done for me.

Thanks to Danya and Naomi for their kindness and caring. All of you are the best!

Fondly,"

A.S. (facelift, fat transfer, and chemical peel)

"Dr. Hoenig,

The enzyme worked great! Thank you! I see that the problems caused by the surgery can be solved to a very large extent by the right use of Juvederm and the enzyme. This is the best my eyes have looked in years! One eye is a bit
different than the other but I see the crease can be adjusted with Juvederm. My next appointment is in April. Thank you again for such perfect work!"

W.K. (eyelid surgery revision using Juvederm and hyaluronidase)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,
Thank you so much for being who you are and running such a pleasant office. From the moment I met you I felt comfortable and trusting.

My eyes went well, you have been so outstanding and I wanted you to know how much I appreciated all of this care.
My very best,"

L.H. (from Santa Monica, CA, eyelid ptosis repair)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,
It was a pleasure meeting with you. After all the horrible procedures I had experienced, which brought my aesthetic appearance to a level of embarrassment in facing friends and family, your encouragement was most appreciated.

After you injected the hyaluronidase to both eyes, I have definitely witnessed the first positive result in 3 years. I cannot thank you enough! Obviously the successful result was achieved by your expertise in carefully injecting the compound in the delicate tissue below my eyes.

Thank you for making a difference and providing me with hope again.
Sincerely,"

N.C. (from Scottsdale, AZ for lower eyelid Juvederm correction)

"I had two different procedures with Dr. Hoenig over the last 3 years (a facelift and my eyes done). He is a brilliant surgeon, an artist and a genuinely caring medical professional. I look so much better than I could have dreamed possible and do not look "done" in any way.

The outcome is perfect and natural looking. I have referred many people to him and he is very honest with them and will not do unnecessary procedures. Those that have also had work done are thrilled."

patient review from RateMDs.com

"Dr. Hoenig is the best doctor in California. He has been seeing my wife for revision consultation and has injected Restylane several times instead of cutting on her, he is brutally honest and will not charge for things that you do not need, he downright refuses to do work that does not need to be done unlike the bad surgeon in Arcadia. Dr. Hoenig has my total recommendation and respect. "

patient review from RateMDs.com

"Dr Hoenig completely restored my eyes! I had "doll's eyes" from previous poor upper blepharoplasty; in addition, my eyelids were hanging down like sad drapes. I looked awful, to say the least. Dr. Hoenig performed a Mueller resection of my eyelids and injected Restylane and Juvederm in my upper hollows. Since then, he has reinjected some more filler AT NO CHARGE. Unbelievable service, kindness and expert attention from his staff. He also did my friend's facelift - she looks unbelievable. He is so good that I wouldn't trust my face to any other doctor. And his fees are not excessive like some other less talented docs in Beverly Hills. I LOVE DR HOENIG!"

another patient review from RateMDs.com

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

As a marketing and fashion consultant, people expect me to be right on trend. For the last few years, however, I've hidden my neck -- high collars, turtlenecks, whatever I could find. When fashion turned to off-the-shoulder and strapless I was in even bigger trouble. Thank goodness scarves were in last year. I could cover my neck in style.

Then this past Spring, you performed cosmetic surgery on my face and neck and did a peel on my chest. I couldn't believe the results. Finally I was able to come out of hiding. No more turtlenecks and high collars for this gal. Not only am I completely thrilled - and still somewhat in disbelief - at the miracles you performed, but now I'm in top fashion form again.

Naturally you don't read Vogue and Harper's, but this season the big look is NECKLACES and necklines to show them off. Since my surgery, I've been on a necklace shopping spree. What's more I've been able to wear some beautiful neck jewelry (gifts from family and friends) that's been in the bottom of a drawer for years.

I still can't believe how your surgery transformed my neck and décolleté. Not to mention my face.

Yesterday I had lunch with a girl friend whose surgery you just did. (She's the second friend to have work by you). She's 76. We both talked about what a miracle worker you are. How warm and caring - and that goes for Danya and Naomi too. Were your ears ringing? I hope so. Enough. I don't want you to get a swelled head.

"Hi Danya and Dr Hoenig,

After 4 years I want to share some dance pictures with you from my World Competition. You fixed me up on 12/29/05 and did a fantastic job. 3 weeks later I had dental emergencies and spent 3 and 1/2 years having bone grafts and now I have a mouth full of dental implants. So for the first time I can now enjoy the results of your great talent. Thank you."

"PS I placed 3rd in World Competition."

"It's been a wonderful experience getting to know you and your staff! Thank you for investing so much time and energy into understanding my case and helping me. As a patient, I'm looking forward to seeing you for many more years to come. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and joyous upcoming New Year this season! Best wishes for success, happiness, & fulfillment :) Thank you again for everything!

Best Regards, "

"I just wanted to say thank you for preventing me making a big mistake regarding my eyelids!

I posted a question on RealSelf regarding asymmetric and heavy upper eyelids back in July. You felt that my problem wasn't heavy lids (or ptosis) but that I just needed some restylane. You strongly advised against having skin removed on my upper eyelid.

I since saw two oculoplastic surgeons in the UK and both thought it was ptosis, however I managed to convince the second one to try the restylane idea first. He did so and the result has been great and much cheaper and less invasive/traumatic than ptosis surgery. My surgeon was also pleasantly surprised at the result! Without your reply to my comment on Realself I would almost certainly have had this expensive and invasive operation and probably been left with poppy eyes which wouldn't have been very attractive!

I just felt I had to email as I am so grateful for your advice."

"It is always a pleasure to meet you in the meetings and listen to your wise talks with lots of nice results. You are not only a very good surgeon and a very good person, too. This thought is shared by all the collegues I meet in ASOPRS." (ASOPRS stands for American Society of Opthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons)

note from an ophthalmic plastic surgeon practicing in Turkey

"Can't say enough about Dr. Hoenig's talent, intelligence & compassion! Here's why: In my mid 50s, I set out to find a surgeon who could refresh my face without leaving me looking "done." The first 3 surgeons I visited (including "big" name in Bev Hills) left me uneasy. Much contradictory advice & a sense that I'd get their standard approach.

I'd all but decided to forget the whole thing, but made one last appt w/ Dr. Hoenig. So glad I did! He spent 90 minutes in the initial consultation, really studying my face, before making recommendations.

I was awake, but sedated for lower & mid-face lift, neck lift, upper lids & fat transfer to cheeks. No problems & I felt safe. That night I had some pain and Dr. Hoenig readily agreed to meet me at his office at 11:00pm to make sure I was OK (I was). Gave me his cell # & called several times over next few days.

The results are spectacular! I'm now 58 and look 45, as though I'm genetically lucky rather than post-surgical. Love him!"

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

There are no words... I am so happy with my new chin. I feel like a new person. My kids and my boyfriend did not notice the change, u did such a beautiful job, there are no signs of work.

As for (-name removed-), Wow! Her eyes look a million times better on camera and her fuller face is very youthful! She doesn't see the huge improvement, but the crew does and I do!

She wants to come see you in a couple weeks for botox and touch ups. I would love to come with her and get the botox on my chin (cuz of the dimpling) and put some Radiance in my cheeks. I am addicted! I absolutely adore you!

I know you are very busy, but I do work with celebs, so I can pass along your name to my clients if you would like. I would trust you with everyone...

Have a wonderful week and I am looking forward to seeing you again.

Best Wishes,"

"Had BA 5 yrs ago from Anna Love and Dr. C. No mention then of antibiotic for dental work. Last year went for dental crown and the resulting infection,swelling and hardening were so disfiguring I had to have it removed on the right side of face. Two trips to Beverly Hills, Dr. Johnathan Hoenig to remove and reshape. No one in TX would touch me. Had it not been for Dr. H, I don't know what I would have done. "

I just have to travel to CA. From all the other Doctors I've been through and getting messed up it's worth it for me to travel to him."

J.D. (patient from New York for eyelid surgery revisions, read more)

"I wanted to tell you all my experience with Dr. Hoenig. He did my lower bleph revision 6 months after the other doc botched me up. Dr Hoenig is the best doctor there is, hands down, he is the best. I live in Mexico, kind of a long trip for me, but I would travel to his office no matter where I lived in the world. Everyone who works with him, all his staff, everyone, they are all super great people, always attentive and helpful, always polite, super super wonderful people.

He does the best work. He will be honest with you and tell you the truth. He told me on a scale of 1 to 10, my ectropion was a 5. I looked pretty bad. I was depressed, needless to say. The revision he did was fantastic, simply fantastic. It is hard for me to find enough words to say how great he is. If you need a revision, no matter where you live, travel to his office. He and all his support staff are worth it, no matter how far away you live."

"I had repair of my left ptosis December 2008. For years I was told by my optometrist that there was no repair available, until I went on the web and found that it is. I searched for a surgeon and found Dr. Hoenig. Since I am a physician myself, I looked over his website carefully, and made sure that he is a board certified plastic surgeon, which he is.

I found that his front desk staff Danya is wonderful. She is understanding and communicative, answering all my questions. Dr. Hoenig explained all the details and answered all my questions. I went in and had the procedure done. A week later the stitch was removed. The result was perfect, I have no complaints and will go back again."

"I'm so thrilled I just can't say enough. Thank you -- thank you-- thank you!!! I'm so sorry I couldn't express my feelings when you called to check on me Wednesday. I was surrounded by girlfriends and didn't want to say too much. They were all flaberghasted at how great I look. Actually, I've had 2 total strangers tell me how beautiful I am. Pretty amazing for 67+ years. I haven't done all this for anyone but myself but it sure is fun to receive such nice compliments. You do amazing work and I'm forever grateful for all you've done for me."

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I just want to say "Thank You!" You cannot possibly know how grateful I am that you are my doctor. The last year of my life has been a nightmare. It has affected my mental health, taken a toll on my marriage, and worst of all, has been extremely hard on my 9 year old daughter. Her Mommy has been in pain and suffering and this caused her great distress.

You are the most wonderful, selfless person to take on this mess and I truly believe that this is almost behind me.

Thank you again,"

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I just wanted to say "Thank You!" and express my extreme appreciation for your excellent work on my eyes and face. After seeing the Before photo and then how my upper eyelids look now, I had to send you this letter. Before meeting you, I thought the previous damage that was done to my eyes was somthing that I had to live with for life!

Also, I deeply appreciate the extra time you spend talking with me as I greatly value your opinion and insights. Speaking with you gives me great confidence that my looks can be improved. I have never met anyone that understands faces so well.

Very Sincerely,"

"No one, including me, can believe how gorgeous and natural I look. I looked hard for a surgeon who wouldn't make me look like I'd had a facelift. I see I made the right choice. Thank you, Dr. Hoenig."

B.A. (facelift, fat transfer, tca chemical peel, from Beverly Hills, CA)

"I had a situation with an eyelid surgery gone so very wrong in my home country Sweden and had to fly to the USA to look for eyelid experts on revision. Please read my blog, or my post eyelid surgery gone very very wrong here on this page. I searched the whole country for over a year and a half before I found a doctor that made any sense to me.

Dr Hoenig in Beverly Hills took care of a highly delicate problem that other doctors really did not to do with. I was left totally hollowed out and all skin had been removed. I looked like a total freak. Had a nervous breakdown and basically could not function properly emotionally ever since from the botched eyelid job in Sweden. Dr Hoenig created new eyelids for me, with Juvederm, and basically sculpted my old eyelid shape back with the filler. Its unbelieavble!

I know it will never be my old eyelids, and I still suffer emotionally from the surgery since -07, but it is the closest I can come for now and I am beyond thrilled. I am slowly getting my life back again, feel better and better and the juvederm is holding up very well. Please let me give you some advice, Only go to the BEST with your eyes! The eye area is very delicate and when something goes wrong it is hard to repair. I wish I had known about this website before I did my surgery back home. I would pay anything to have it undone. So, its very good that you do all this reseach. Take your time to find a great and skilled surgeon who understand beauty.

I can only say that if it was not for Dr Hoenig I don't know where I would be today emotionally. It's been hell! He really gave me my eyes and face and self esteem back. He is also conservative and that is a good thing, since for me, less is more( wish the Swedish butcher knew what that meant!)

Dr Hoenig is very talented! Good luck and hope this helped a little in your quest for a brilliant surgeon. warmly, Lola"

Dr Hoenig was kind, compassionate, positive, and assured me he would help me and he did! I am very happy with the result. I am so thankful for Dr. Hoenig's wonderful work and upbeat attitude. You can tell he really cares about his patients.

Dr Hoenig's staff is great and Noemi put me at ease from the moment I called and made me feel comfortable at my office visit."

I shared the before and after pictures with a chosen few and they are amazed with the results.People guess my 40 y.o. daughter is my sister. My treatment was great. The staff was helpful from beginning to end and they are still helpful if I have questions or concerns.

My Dr. is the best - he did not over correct, he is a very caring, concerned person. My husband had his waddle removed and he is just as pleased. It was well worth the money in just how I feel about me now."

D.C., Dr. Hoenig's facelift patient review on RealSelf.com

"I had a face and neck lift just over 1 year ago. I am totally thrilled with the results. It is completely natural and people have commented that I look so young and glowing. Noone has askeed if I had surgery, which is exactly the the result that I wanted.

My doctor was a true genius as well as kind, caring and accesible. The whole experience was positive. I had very little discomfort; the only medication that I took was Tylenol the night of the surgery. I couldn't be happier that I decided to have a facelift."

Dr. Hoenig's facelift patient review on RealSelf.com

"I have deep,dark circles under my eyes and have used undereye cover cream for more years than I'd like to count. One day, I realized the cover cream wasn't working. I would apply and reapply several times a day to no avail.

Received Restylane injections under my eyes and was amazed! No more dark circles. The treatment lasted about 12 months and I went and did it again. I still use a tad of cover cream in the morning, but don't worry about it (or obsess!) for the rest of the day.

I highly recommend Restylane. Make sure you go to someone who is well recommended. I had my injections by a plastic surgeon (EDITOR'S NOTE: DR HOENIG IS AN OCULOPLASTIC SURGEON). Also, make sure you stop taking ibuprofen and/or aspirin two weeks before your injections to prevent bleeding. There is no down time, although you may bruise. I had a small black-eye type bruise under one eye the first time, and the second time a slightly larger bruise under the other eye (I wasn't reminded and had forgotten about the ibuprofen. The doctor used a lot of pressure to stop the bleeding, thus the bruising.)

The small amount of pain (during the injections only) is more than worth the excellent results. I will do it again, when this batch wears off in the next month or two."

Dr. Hoenig's restylane patient review, from realself.com

"I had an upper and lower blethoplasty with fat transfer to my cheeks a few years ago (along with follow up on the fat transfer some months later). To say I that have been very pleased with the results would be an understatement. I look at pictures of myself six years ago and wonder who that old man is! I was referred to you by Dr. Keller in Monterey...

Whenever the time does come for more treatment from Dr. Hoenig, you can be assured I will be back. I have spread the word about how happy I am and hope you have been getting other patients from this area."

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks again for the consultation last summer. I am really glad I spoke with you and now feel so much better about my upper eyelids.

Thank you so much for making my dreams come true & fixing my face! I think that you're a genius, your office team is so nice and I'm so grateful that I found you & so happy with what you were able to do for me!!!

I am sorry for the way I was my first time there; I was really scared but you helped me anyway & again I'm so thankful for what you did :) Finally, I don't look sick & tired 24/7 and I enjoy looking in the mirror too!

I just wanted to take this moment to let you know that it has now been over a week since I had my surgery. I am happy to say that I am very happy with my results. In fact, so much so, I felt it necessary to rate you on "ratemds." http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/100186/CA/Beverly-Hills/Hoenig

Take care, and thank you very much!"

T.B. (upper and lower eyelid fat transfer)

"Dear Dr Hoenig,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you for restoring my upper eyelids. After a disastrous upper eyelid surgery in my home country Sweden where the surgeon removed too much fat and skin leaving me looking extremely hollow and strange looking not to mention completely broken hearted, totally devastated and having lost all my self esteem, I researched experts in the USA to find a solution for this tragic result.

Among all the doctors I spoke with, you where the only one who said something really could be done and understood exactly what I needed in order to create an upper eyelid that was close to my original look.With incredible patience, grace and enormous skill did you manage to create a full eyelid again with Juvederm. I look at myself in the mirror and feel such joy and peace at last. I look like me again and got my almond shape back!

It was the best money I have ever spent flying from Sweden to see you! To all people who have experienced an upper eyelid surgery gone very wrong, please dont despair. There is a solution and Dr J. Hoenig is it!

Your wife Danya and your assistant Naomi where beyond warm and compassionate. To you all... Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Happy Holidays!

Warmly,"

I want you to know how happy I am with my brow lift and eye surgery. I also want to thank you for your kindness, compassion and concern when something got into my eye and scratched my eyeball.

You are the best there is.

"I had the bags under my eyes "removed" (he actually pushed the fat downwards into the slightly hollow area below). It's been almost a year, and I am so thrilled with the results.

From RateMDs.com:

Went to Dr. Hoenig last March to fix poor lower bleph result which was originally performed in Canada. He is truly amazing. He not only fixed the problem, he made me look better than nature did. The man really knows what he is doing (check his impeccable credentials) and he and everyone in his practice really go out of their way to treat you well. Not enough can be said about this guy, but for more go to the forum at beautysurg.com and do a search on his name. You won't find one bad thing about him. THANK-YOU!!!

(a note a patient sent to her friend after seeing Dr. Hoenig...)

"Hi,
I hope you are doing well on this muggy August afternoon! I'm emailing you because it's been a while, but also to let you know that I'm done with my eye restoration at Dr Hoenig's.

I'm going to come by so you can see it. It's truly amazing. This Monday, I had the Mueller resection process. Took 10 minutes, local only with sedation pill (no big deal whatsoever) and the results are astounding. Truly astounding. You know Dr. XXX that you went to who said he couldn't do anything about the upper hollows? Wrong. There is. I know, because I FINALLY have my eyes back - the ones I had before I started tampering with them. Here's what Dr Hoenig did:

Injected upper hollows with Restylane and Juvederm to create "eye pillows," i.e. youthful padding. He goes around some kind of nerve, he's super careful and he does it in 2-3 stages. This is much better than using real fat, because for us upper eyelid post-surgical "victims," we've got so much scar tissue that the only thing you can squeeze in there is something with small molecules, i.e. hyaluronic acid, not fat. And believe me, it stays and stays and stays, since nothing really moves up there.

Resected the Muller muscle, posterior approach. This means that my eyelids, which all of a sudden had begun drooping severely - have been pulled up, without cutting any skin at all.

The combination of getting back my "eye pillows" around the entire upper eye AND the resection of the muscle has recreated exactly what I had at age 23. You won't believe it when you see it. I will bring photos just so you can compare. It's unbelievable. Insane. I'm going back on Monday to get the pull-thru stitch out and to take out the protective contact lens he sticks in there.

If I were you, I'd seriously get an appointment with him. He's on Wilshire and Linden, you can walk there on your lunch hour. He runs on time, so no worries. Plus, he's darling. No weirdness or coldness like so many ophthalmologists I've seen in the past. His wife works there too, and she is supersweet.

If you see me, you'll flip. The doc took me back even 5 more years. I have fulllness of the entire eye, without any shadows or droopiness. The man is a true genius when it comes to eyes, that's for sure. I bet he can fix yours too, and you'll look even greater than you already do now.

Let me know when I can come by and show off the eyes - without any makeup, they don't need ANY!!!!

I'm sooooo happy,

C.M. (bilateral eyelid ptosis repair)

You probably already know it but your husband is brilliant!!!

I had the Radiesse injected on Wednesday morning and that evening I was already out there running a big event in LA with quite a few celebrities including Jay Leno and others. I was able to be out in public that evening and now back in Israel my wife really loves the results.

I was quite nervous prior to that because of the many “bad” feedback going around about Radiesse by unsatisfied patients, but you were right; there was no reason to worry.

As always Dr. Hoeing did a great Job. Please thank him for me."

I.L. (radiesse to cheeks and jaw)

"Many thanks for seeing me in the Sherman Oaks office. So far I am headache free! I am praying the Botox continues to work. I just keep my fingers crossed on this. I am very pleased thus far. My "fears" of putting poison in my head were unfounded! Many thanks.

I will tell you that coming to you is one of the best things I have done for myself.

Sincerely,"

"Just a note to thank you from the bottom of my heart for restoring my eyes - and even making them prettier! You are a true artist and an incredibly skilled eye specialist. If it weren't for you, I would still look hollow and tired. Besides, you were the only physician willing to address my "doll's eye" issue - all other professionals have simply told me I needed to live with it!

I will mention your name to everyone in my travels and I hope that this will somehow generate many more patients for you. Thank you again, I finally like looking in the mirror again - with eyes that reflect my happiness!

All the best,"

S.R. (tear duct repair)

"Hi Dr. Hoenig,

How are you doing? I want to apologize that I did not get back to you sooner but it doesn’t mean I forgot about you as soon as I left L.A. I just was waiting for my healings to get better. I REALLY appreciate you took your time and stayed with me longer that night when you took the bump out of my right eye even despite you were so tired and had to go home to be with your family. I want to thank Nayomi too. She was an excellent assistant!

My husband was very against this surgery because he believed that I would never be satisfied and would do it over and over again and will end up like Michael Jackson. He probably based his opinion on how miserable I was after my first surgery when the surgeon just butchered my eyes. I did not agree with him. I just was looking for you and I think I was so lucky I found you (thanks to Dr.Ellenbogen). Every single time when I look in the mirror I keep saying to you “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. What a wonderful job you did! I think my eyes can not get any better because they are perfect! I feel like myself again. I am so happy!

You are the best of the best, Dr. Hoenig! Happy belated Father’s Day. My very best wishes. Sincerely,"

E.J. (endoscopic browlift, fat transfer, tca chemical peel)

"Just a quick note to say thank you! I don't typically send doctors these kinds of notes - not really sure what to say? Great work? I feel terrific, am so pleased with the subtle new look and have been so impressed with your care and follow up. Never thought I would be someone who would have this kind of procedure, but you made it so easy and have been so kind. I sing your praises! Warmest regards,

"I can't thank you enough for the absolutely wonderful work you did on my face.

I would like you to schedule for the month of November both my friends. By the way my Periodontic DDS whom I saw after my surgery in NY was amazed at my looks. She wrote immediately your name down. It looks that she had someone she wanted to give your name to.

Well I am wishing you good health and well being, till soon,"

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

This is the Armenian girl with hollow eyes! First, I must say that you've changed my life. I can't get over how much I like my eyes again. Thank You!

I am so excited about seeing you next Friday at 3pm. I am flying in from New York just to see you so please don't cancel. I don't mind waiting if you're busy. My eyes look so much smaller and everyone tells me that I look amazing. I just wanted to touch base before my appointment next week. Take care and I'll see you on Friday. "

Thank you for the amazing job you did on me. It is an art! See you in April!
Your very grateful patient,"

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,
My deepest thanks to you and Danya for helping me with the problems that resulted from another doctor's eyelid surgery.

After 5 previous doctors failed to even acknowledge my discomfort let alone diagnose the problem, you diagnosed the problem and began the proper treatment on the first visit. By the next day I noticed improvement. Now, only a few months later I'm wearing my contact lenses again and feel back to normal.

I appreciate your knowledge and skill as well as your kindness and the way you helped me overcome the fear I had felt since the surgery. You are one in a million.

I have made a donation to The Smile Train - a charity that provides plastic surgery to children in underdeveloped countries. I will continue to contribute, each time remembering your kindness and generosity.

Warm wishes,"

"Dear Dr. Hoenig, I am hoping this note will convey my deepest appreciation & gratitude for what you have done for me. You are a highly skilled surgeon/artist, and simply a wonderful person.

As I greet my 50th birthday in January, I do so with a renewed confidence and happiness.

Please enjoy a very small token of my appreciation. It's just a little something to keep you going all those long hours. Very warm regards,"

J.M.

"Dear Dr. Hoenig, I want to thank you for a "great" surgical experience. The surgery was an easy process all due to your expertise and me being allowed to be awake. Thank you once again."

(copy of a letter our patient sent to the doctor who referred her to Dr. Hoenig)

"I just wanted to write and tell you what an amazing experience I've had with Jonathan Hoenig. I had the face lift/neck lift/lower eyelids done on September 14. It was about a six hour procedure and I did it awake with just oral Valium and Demerol. It was incredibly interesting and completely painless.

Hoenig is the most fastidious guy and really pays an incredible amount of attention to his patients during the recovery process. After two weeks I was completely able to go out in the world as the swelling and bruising were not obvious to others. It will be three weeks this Thursday and my progress has been terrific.

I am very, very happy with the results and Hoenig tells me I will only be happier as time goes on. I am grateful that you gave me him as a referral and were adamant that he was the only guy to see.
Thanks again and again"

K.B. (facelift, necklift, lowere eyelid surgery)

"Dear Doctor Hoenig,

Before I met you I was told you were one of the best in the business. As this information was conveyed to me by a number of your peers, I was pretty sure it was true. At my first appointment I found you to be a nice guy who really knows his craft. After those pretty scary few days following my surgery I found you to be a very kind, caring and patient man. As my face began to heal, I found out you were pretty much a GENIUS. After you convinced me to let you give me that final touch on my lips, I realized that you are THE VERY BEST DOCTOR IN ALL THE LAND.

I can't thank you enough for giving me back my confidence and making me feel good about myself, not to mention being pretty damn cute. Sincerely,"

N.B. (facelift, fat transfer, lower eyelid surgery)

"I wanted to write you a note and tell you how much I love my new (younger) look! I so appreciate your skill as a surgeon and your diligence and dedication to me as your patient. You are an asset to your profession. Thanks again! Fondly, "

S.H.

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

It’s been about 8 months since my last visit. I am extremely pleased with the results of everything we did and now no longer feel self conscious about my age showing. In fact I often get complimented on how well I look from new acquaintances; there could be no better testimony. Thank you for setting the clock back and helping me look as young as I feel. Sincerely, "

P.K. (browlift, facelift, fat transfer, eyelid ptosis repair)

"I would like to thank you sincerely for your kindness & patience over the last two weeks. Few doctors would call to check up on their patients. Far less give up a Friday evening to perform an impromptu revision. I deeply appreciate what you did and I am grateful that your career is a true vocation."

L.A.

"I want to thank you again for my eyelid shots yesterday. It is always comforting, that feel of "it's going to be okay" when we come see you. I really could write you a mile long letter, I know you are very busy, but it is very important I let you know how appreciative I am for you, very important. I am happy you are my doctor. I know you can only imagine what I have been through, and I try and hold it all in, I only can now wish I'd never seen another doctor but you."

S.G. (5fu injections)

"Other than the bruising I feel great. I have not had to take any pain medication of any kind. Although I can't tell what the final outcome is going to look like yet I can tell you I feel much better about myself. I can't express into words how grateful I am. Thank you so much for everything you have done."

A.J.

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

I am sure you remember my daughter and the surgery you performed under her eyes back in July. We have not forgotten you and I will be sending you some new pictures of her this week! We are both SO VERY HAPPY with the results and I see a big change in her. She has blossomed with self-confidence and will be enrolling into college to make some important career choices in her life.

I just wanted to thank you for your incredible expertise, your wonderful staff, your prompt returned phone calls and for making time in your schedule to meet with us when things seemed a little rough. You are truly a professional in your field! (Also thank you for being a little harsh with her when she faltered...it was a push she really needed.)

I just wanted you to know you really affected both of our lives in a positive manner. There aren't enough words to thank you. Watch for the pictures in the next week!

Sincerely,"

N.S.

"Don't know what I would have done all these years without this most gracious professional. He carries his oath in his heart, his talent in his hands, and his learned knowledge in his memory banks......"

"To Dr. Hoenig,
This is my way of expressing my appreciation
For a wonderful result, I am so satisfied with my decision.
Following a disastrous outcome of a neck lift,
I pondered who could be trusted to properly repair it."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. It is still never enough for someone who took so many tired years off my face. Now my inner energy will be reflected in my smile. Thank you,"

"First, I want to thank you for being so fair and honest about everything. I'm always a bit incredulous when it comes to cosmetic surgeons. There really are a lot of B.S.ers floating around, so I feel so fortunate to have found a doctor who has so much integrity. Anyway, I'm ecstatic about the results! My eyes look better than they ever have. You're the best! Thanks so much!"

G.W.

"Just a note to thank you again for everything you have done for me. I wanted you to know I feel 1000 times better about my appearance thanks to you. I will never forget your generosity and compassion. May God bless you and return to you all the blessings you give to others!"

“Words cannot express the satisfaction I have with your surgery skills. You have changed my whole life.

Sincerely,”
J.G.

“There are no words to express how grateful I am to you for all you’ve done! I placed myself in your talented hands and am pleased beyond my wildest imagination with what you’ve accomplished. But even more, your special care and attention, home visits, even shopping for me, is more than I could’ve expected! You are a special person, an excellent surgeon, and a true ‘mensch’! Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful. You’re the absolute best!!

Gratefully,”
M.K.

“Thank you for the subtle, artistic and beautiful work you did for me. I am so thrilled with it—You are extraordinary!”

S.H.

“I can not thank you enough. I’m in awe -my husband is in awe- with what you did and what you had to work with. My face is an example of what good plastic surgery looks like. I now see why the doctor who referred me to you spoke so highly of you. It’s always a good sign when you are respected by others in your field. I see you’re very brilliant and gifted. Thank you for the time, patience and care you showed me. I am ONE HAPPY CAMPER!”

G.W.

“You are my favorite doctor for keeping me safe. Thanks for all the fat! You have changed my opinion of fat. I love it!”

M.M.

“I just wanted to thank you on behalf of my mother and brother for all the attention, care and kindness you gave to my mom. Your interest and warmth was instrumental in making what could have been a devastating experience (in terms of the diagnosis) into more or less a normal hospital stay for mother. I know how she looked forward to your reassurance and presence and I really don’t think she would have come out as “whole” as she did if it weren’t for your attention. Needless to say you were a comfort for all of us and I want you to know that you are a special person. You have obviously chosen the right profession and your presence illuminates the true essence of a physician – a warm, caring, sensitive human being. Thanks again for everything.

Fondly, “
B.J.

“I wanted to thank you for your kindness, care and thoughtfulness you extended to my father from ‘day one’. It meant a great deal to both my dad and me to know that you were always available to us. I hope you know that my dad is quite fond of you and always felt secure in your presence. Thank you again!

Sincerely,”
C.I.

“We have been looking for a special gift for you but we couldn’t find one which could express my gratitude for the miracle you performed on my face and the kind and supportive care I received. May God bless you always!

Sincerely,”
