I am 18 getting my first surgery.. had a great experience with Dr. Mao to say the least, not only was he very kind and personable but gave me the exact result of my rhinoplasty that I had asked for. I was a little nervous for the recovery, but I healed amazingly and Arissa was amazing with helping me throughout all my questions and concerns.. I am currently less than a month post-opp and I am IN LOVE with my new nose!

Mikayla

Following a visit to the office and an initial misunderstanding, the matter was addressed professionally and resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

Arissa Schweiss is absolutely amazing, sweet, kind and professional! I went and saw her for under eye filler for a "refresh" look and I couldn't be more impressed with my results! Her skill and technique are fantastic and I felt so at ease from the moment I sat down in her room. I have gotten so many compliments in the last couple of days and I am so glad I saw Arissa for the treatment! Press and hold

I had an amazing experience with Arissa for my Botox treatment. I had been going to a different Aesthetic’s center for my Botox for quite some time so it can be scary trying somewhere new. Arissa was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain and answer any questions I had. She really listened to what I was hoping to achieve and gave recommendations without being pushy. My results have been fantastic and exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Arissa to anyone considering Botox. She is professional, caring and skilled and I will be definitely be coming back!

This was my first time trying microneedling, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Arissa was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I walked in. She explained everything thoroughly and checked in with me throughout the procedure to ensure I was comfortable and tolerating it well. I ended up purchasing the package deal—not only was it a great value, but every session has been amazing. I can’t say enough good things about Arissa—professional, caring, and truly skilled. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Maria Cinea

I had a great experience and I absolutely adore the results of the stunning work performed by Arissa! She’s incredibly talented, informative, and has a great eye for detail. I will definitely be coming back 😊

Rebeca Romero

Dr. Mao is a master at what he does. I’ve had insecurities about how my eyes looked because of the extra skin and as I aged, the appearance was getting worse. I was very nervous about surgery but Dr. Mao was amazing when it came to reassuring me and explaining the process in detail. I highly recommend because of his professionalism and fantastic results! Here are some before and after photos as reference.

Vivian DeJesus

Arrisa is the BEST! She's professional, knowledgeable and very approachable. She takes her time answering questions and exploring Botox and filler options but doesn't try to push anything. Just gives the facts. Arrisa is super kind and friendly as well! Dr. Mao did my Upper Bleph and I couldn't be more happy with the results!!

Meghan Shanley

I’ve been seeing Arissa for Botox and all my treatments. She is patient, knowledgeable, and realistic. She takes her time to understand my desired results and provides an overall exceptional experience. the results continuously exceed my expectations. Finding an injector you trust can be difficult and scary. Look no further, she’s the best of the best.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Arissa, and I can’t recommend her enough! She has such an artistic and comprehensive approach to analyzing facial features, and the results are simply magical. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s also caring and professional, making the whole experience enjoyable. Plus, she’s quick to respond to any questions, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking to enhance your features with someone who truly knows their craft, Arissa is the way to go! Myriam R

Miriam Ray

What a wonderful office to visit! I was always made to feel comfortable and well taken care of. The highlight of any visit is Arissa who is a master at her craft of sculpting lips and gives me perfect placement of Botox. She is patient, kind, and best of all knowledgeable. She takes her time and uses the best numbing ointment to provide painless service. I get compliments all the time on my lips and can assure you if your hesitate about coming here, don’t be. The staff and Arissa are top notch!

Holly

I came in for possible surgery to fix my eyebrow asymmetry and severe dents from 11lines that were very noticeable even with Botox. Arissa was in my consult and told me she could fix my issues with Botox and filler. No other medspa or injector had offered me this solution. I felt very comfortable getting this sensitive area worked on after the consult. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced at her job. The results look fantastic and I wish I had gone in sooner! Tysm Arissa!

Rachel Sherwood

I had lip filler done by Arissa and I’m here to say it was a wonderful experience. I was a little nervous because I was worried it would hurt. Arissa was so gentle and reassuring, and because she is so skilled, it didn’t hurt at all! The office at Mao Facial Plastic Surgery is beautiful and welcoming and so is the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend Arissa to anyone considering facial injections. You won’t be disappointed!

Pamela Buonocore

I recently went to see Arissa for lip filler and Botox. Arissa took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and was so knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with my results and how natural my lips look. I would highly recommend Arissa!

Madison Sosa

My deepest gratitude to Dr. Mao for his excellent work on my face, exceeding my expectations. During my face lift consultation, he offered to do the surgery at his office location and explained the entire process step by step, in which he included the local anesthesia injections around the face. I have to admit, I was very scared and thought it would be very painful. However, the injections felt like mosquito bites, and I slept throughout the entire process. My recovery was super fast, only took 2 weeks, and now I am back to my regular life feeling and looking gorgeous. I was blessed and guided towards Dr. Mao for his excellence in the field, his humanity, and his professionalism. He is a remarkable doctor of high caliber with complete humility. I extend my gratitude to 2 stars of the profession: Arissa, PA C. and Amanda, Nurse, who were exceptional and performed at mastery level before, during, and after my surgery ensuring I had a magnificent experience. I am so pleased that I would go back in time to do it all over again. I highly recommend Dr. Mao and his staff to anyone who is looking to renew their image.

Lili

Dr. Mao, Nurse Amanda & PA Arissa are an absolute dream team!!! They make you so comfortable & the beautiful results speak for themselves! I’d highly recommend this office for anyone seeking natural, tasteful results. Dr. Mao is the man!!

Vanessa

I am so happy I came to see Arissa PA-C and the rest of the staff. She is the best for skincare treatment. She listens to my concerns and tries her best to fix my problems. And keep me happy. I noticed an improvement on my first treatment and now I am on my second treatment. I can’t wait to see the final result. She is amazing, caring, and honest with her opinion. I highly recommend Arissa to anyone with a skin problem. You will not be disappointed or regret with her treatment. She is an amazing professional worker. You will not want to go anywhere else but Dr. Johny Mao’s office. They have the best professional staff.

Shanta Chhean

Arissa PA is amazing! She did a liquid rhino and filler on my lips and the results are perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. She is the sweetest!!!! Thank you!!!

scarlett m

My expierence was lovely! I had Arissa as my tech and I got a liquid rhinoplasty and lip filler. She was of the one of most comforting and well experienced techs I have ever met and was very professional. I obsessed with my new side and front profile and the procedures caused minimal pain and discomfort. All in all an amazing expierence, I would recommend Arissa to anyone looking to get any facial modifications with filler, botox, etc.

Zoe Elizabeth

Went for filler and Arissa did it exactly what I want. Thank you!!!

Venus

Dr Mao, is extremely professional, and yet, quite a character. He took the time to explain everything, (along with an awesome team, the staff nurses. 10/10) .....the options available n even explaining why I wasn't a good fit for a much higher price procedure. I felt respected, and that he takes his job seriously,Thank you so much Dr Mao for being professional and making your customers feel valued . Hope in the future gain some weight n be a good fit for the fat graft!!!

Hendreow Correa

I had the most amazing experience!!! Dr. Mao was very personable, has an excellent personality, very knowledgeable and one of the most caring doctors I have ever had. He listened to everything I had to say and was concerned about. He kept me at ease and made sure I was well informed, my confidence in him and in my surgery never wavered. I had rhinoplasty and I only wish I had done it sooner. 3 decades of insecurity is a very long time. My first appointment after surgery, even though I was still swollen, I cried because I was so happy with my results. Every month after that, it just kept getting better. The amount of care you are given with Dr. Mao is outstanding, the entire team is impeccable, they truly care about their patients. Choosing Dr. Mao was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I highly recommend him!! Thank you Dr. Mao for making feel beautiful in my own skin!!!

Jaclyn Yudichak

Dr. Mao’s practice is a wonderful place to be seen for injectables. Dr. Mao and Arissa are phenomenal injectors. My experience with Arissa is that she truly listens to her patients and takes her time to understand your concerns and works with you to achieve the best possible outcomes. She does amazing work and will make you feeling refreshed and natural looking. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I would trust Arissa with full face injectable correction any day. She will also have you feeling very comfortable in her chair. Go see Arissa!

Nicolette Lolis

Love the office and the overall environment! Highly recommend Dr. Mao’s practice. Dr. Mao and his entire staff have exceeded my expectations from beginning to end!

Brandon DeRose

I had facelift done with Dr. Mao recently. Absolutely thrilled with the results . I literally look 20 years younger. Dr. Mao is brilliant. His staff is amazing. Amanda explained everything to me in details. She was with me during entire recovery, talking , texting, total total gem. Arrisa is a phenomenal PA, she was with me during my recovery, did an amazing job with injectables. My lips look awesome. If I could give more that 5 stars , I would. Super professional, friendly front desk people. Totally totally recommend. Must go there to have your own experience. Thank you! Kindly Ingrid

ingrid vitkute

PA Arissa was AMAZING for my injections. I’ve been to numerous doctors in San Francisco and across the country, and her results have been my favorite. She really listened to what I was looking for (as natural as possible, lifting up my eyes, etc) and her injections were really well done. No bruising and minimal swelling. I will absolutely be coming back because I really liked how she listened to what I was going for and made great corrections that worked well for my face. Entire office is very kind and professional.

Amelia Eldridge

Dr. Mao is very knowledgeable and experienced. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy surgeon!

Anna Chung

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mao Facial Plastic Surgery for my first experience with lip fillers, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the service I received. After talking with my injector we decided on one syringe of Juvederm Ultra, and my injector, Arissa Schweiss, was absolutely fantastic. Arissa Schweiss, a key member of Dr. Mao’s team, she was incredibly thorough in her approach. Before the procedure, she took the time to explain everything to me in detail, from the ingredients in the Juvederm Ultra filler to what I could expect during and after the injection process. Her expertise and patience made me feel very comfortable, especially since this was my first time getting lip fillers. During the procedure, Arissa's precision and gentle technique were impressive. She took great care in ensuring that the filler was distributed evenly, resulting in beautifully natural-looking lips. What truly stood out to me was her attentiveness to my comfort level throughout the entire process. She frequently checked in to make sure I was feeling okay and explained each step as she went along. Arissa also provided me with comprehensive aftercare instructions, ensuring I knew how to take care of my lips to achieve the best possible results. She was very patient in answering all of my questions and made sure I felt confident about the aftercare routine. Another highlight of my experience was that I had some leftover filler from the initial syringe. Arissa was able to save it for future touch-ups, which was a thoughtful and practical solution that I greatly appreciated. This level of care and consideration truly sets Mao Facial Plastic Surgery apart. My experience was shown with genuine care from the entire team, making my first-time experience with lip fillers incredibly positive. I highly recommend this clinic and will definitely return for any future cosmetic needs. (The picture was taken immediately after injections)

jacklyn Taylor

Couldn’t be happier with the service and results I got from DR.Mao! Arissa guided me the whole way explaining everything to me in detail even txted me almost daily making sure I loved my results and was doing okay!

Jessica k.

Highly recommend Dr. Mao! The office is clean and elegant. The staff is amazing. Arissa was absolutely wonderful and made me feel extra beautiful. She exceeded my expectations! I have cheeks bones and a jaw line for the first time in my life and have never felt so confident! For all your beauty needs, this is the place!

Ashley Caldwell

I had an amazing experience with my Botox injections! Thanks to Dr. Mao, the results are fantastic. I feel more confident and refreshed. Highly recommend!"

Jung Lee

This practice is amazing! So welcoming, clean, and the staff is very friendly. I’ve gone to Arissa multiple times now for microneedling and have seen such great results in such a short time. They use top notch products. I will be back in the future!

Emery Raynor

I can’t say enough about Dr. Mao’s practice! Every time I’ve left my results have been nothing short of amazing. I’ve gone to other places in the past for fillers and botox and have never had results that looked so natural and lasted for a long time. I’ve had different procedures done and everytime they take the time to go over all the post recommendations and answer any of my questions.I always come out feeling confident and loving the results ! If you’re looking for the place this is it. Thank you to the staff for always being so welcoming and accommodating!

Jacqueline Smiles

I highly recommend Dr Mao’s office! I had a great experience with him, his PA Arissa, and all office staff. Everyone was friendly and made me feel so comfortable answering any questions I had. Will never go anywhere else!

Jennifer Sperlazza

I saw Arissa the PA at Dr. Mao's office for a liquid facelift and I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! From the moment I walked into the office I was blown away. The office esthetic is regal and luxurious, yet clean and inviting. The front office staff was polite and welcoming. Arissa made me feel comfortable and prepared me for my treatment. I had lost a lot of volume in my face (volume aka face fat lol) and was really not enjoying my appearance. After reviewing some treatment options we landed on the liquid facelift, and I walked out of her office looking 10 years younger! I am beyond happy with my visit, with my treatment, and with Arissa! Everything about this experience has exceeded all of my anticipations (because I wasn't sure what to expect!). If you had been thinking about scheduling with Arissa, don't wait!! She's the one you want to book with!

Miranda Peralta

Dr. Mao are phenomenal and professional!! He took the time to explain the procedure to myself, my wife and her family members, answered all of questions, and had fabulous bedside manner. The team was wonderful in discussing available options to achieve best results. The staff is so talented and equally as approachable. I give the team my highest praises and encourage you to consult with them!

sae kim

I came to Dr.Mao’s for liquid rhinoplasty and walked away extremely happy and satisfied with the results. Dr. Mao's physician's assistant Arrisa performed the injections with precision and she did an amazing job and I couldn’t be any happier. The before and after photos speak for themselves. She gave me a bridge and a more defined nose where before, it was wider and I always struggled to keep my glasses on. With my new nose came a slimmer face even tho none were injected in my cheeks. Needless to say, coming to Dr. Mao’s office was the best decision. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their office to anyone looking to have liquid rhinoplasty done.

Frances Ly

excellent!

My experience with Dr Mao, Arissa , Amanda and all staff was beyond my expectations! If I could rate higher it’s a 10++ I had been contemplating a neck lift for several years. From my first consultation through my recovery, the level of care was top notch. Dr. Mao is very down to earth which immediately put me at ease . Dr. Mao’s expertise helped me determine the work that best aligned with my rejuvenation goals. I ended choosing to do face lift ,neck lift and my eyes. Amanda was very efficient setting up my surgery and ensuring I was fully ready to go with detailed instructions. Arissa, met me the day after my surgery which fell on a Saturday with calm enthusiasm and incredible diligence in after surgery care. I had a small complication that I would never have realized as Arissa always was so calm, friendly and determined .. I refer to her as my angel as my healing and recovery went so well because of her attention and patience. I have and will continue to recommend all friends , family and anyone I can share how ecstatic I am with my overall beautiful results I literally get compliments all the time on how great I look ..refreshed and glowing. It is so natural and just a great refresh ., if I wasn’t such an open book no one would have know I had work done. The price point was absolutely inline with the standard prices in Ct., actually a bit better than most . My whole experience was well worth my investment. Speaking from the heart ♥️ at 61 years young this has given me an overall boost to all areas of my life mind, body and soul ..a big robust rejuvenation that I am forever grateful for. Thank you Dr. Mao, Amanda and Arissa for inspiring me to become and be better 🙏🩷🥰 I cannot wait to share my before and after photos

Dorothy Satti

Dr. Mao is the best! I’m 2 weeks post Op for Otoplasty and he did an incredible job. I have so much more confidence in myself. You won’t regret having Dr. Mao as your plastic surgeon. And the staff there is incredible and so polite! I’m glad I chose Dr. Mao

Vanessa Benitez

I'm two weeks post-op from a rhinoplasty, and I can’t express enough gratitude for the exceptional work of Dr. Mao! Dr. Mao listened attentively during my consultation, and the way he spoke displayed his confidence in his ability to deliver the best and most natural possible result for me. I ultimately chose him because all his before and after pictures truly show his artistic and surgical talent for enhancing his patients' natural features. I was extremely nervous in the weeks leading up to the procedure and almost backed out, but I am so happy that I went through with it. My rhinoplasty results exceeded all my expectations, and my new nose complements my facial features perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Dr. Mao and his staff (Arissa and Amanda especially) made me feel so comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. If you are considering rhinoplasty, I can't recommend Dr. Mao enough. He is a true artist and master of his craft, and I am forever grateful for the life-changing results he has provided me with. Thank you, Dr. Mao, for your skill, expertise, and compassion.
