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.

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.

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

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!!!

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

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

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)

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.

Codi

I had my original rhinoplasty in NJ in 2022, I was left very unhappy with results. I saw Dr. Mao and he was so confident in his ability to give me more desired and natural results. I am currently 7 months post-op after a tip only in office revision rhinoplasty, and I couldn't be happier. It has been such an easy healing process. Amanda and Dr. Mao were able to calm my nerves and make the whole process so pleasant. Great manner, and the friendliest surgeon I’ve met.

Victoria Porreca

Hi Dr.Mao . I just wanted to say thank you 1 million times over for the breath of fresh life you’ve given me, quite literally. Haha. Not only were you able to help me get my life back from constant sinus infections, but my nose looks so refined and feminine compared to what it used to be. A woman even complemented me about six months after my surgery saying I had a “Victorian look” to me and said that she thought it was because of my nose and facial profile. Quickly, I realized it was in part due to my rhinoplasty. (Little did she know). Anyways, thank you again Dr.Mao! You and the staff were wonderful from start to finish. I apologize I was so late in writing this review for all of you.

Arissa Schweiss

I cant say enough good things about this Practice . Dr.Mao and his team demonstrate skills and competence . It took me 4 years to do this revision of my neck due to a botched surgery preformed by another surgeon . 21 days have passed and I am beyond pleased with the results of my neck and face lift . Thank you Dr.Mao and team . 10000000 stars

Dr. Mao is fabulous, has wonderful bedside manner and most importantly he’s honest with expectations. Beyond happy with my results!!!

Heather Petrillo

My experience with Dr. Mao and the office exceeded expectations. I was provided with excellent care from the consultation all the way through to my surgery and post-operative care. The staff members were friendly and professional during each interaction. Dr. Mao was easy to communicate with, professional and understanding. I would highly recommend the office to family and friends.

Rhonda

Dr. Mao is extremely talented and personable. I only trust him with my face!

Krystal Kelly Murphy

Dr. Mao did a fantastic job on my nose! His staff was warm and made you feel comfortable throughout the entire process! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Grace Nisbet

Dr Mao and his team are the best! I have gone to them for several procedures and each time I have been more than happy with my results. Plus dr mao’s bedside manner is like no other. Anytime I email him (even years after) for questions I get a response within 24 hours. He’s the best and highly recommend!

Zojo Sapper

I recently had 2 eye procedures performed by the man, the myth, the legend, Dr Johnny Mao. What a great man. I wanted to take a minute to express my sincere thankfulness to Dr Mao, and his incredible staff, especially Amanda. Doctor Mao, & Amanda, A heartfelt gratitude to you both. The incredible care I received at your office made me feel much more at ease, and much more comfortable regarding my procedures. Dr Mao’s skills and dedication to his craft really transformed my life in a way I never imagined possible. I am extremely thrilled with the results, and I appreciate the time they both took explaining everything, and addressing all my concerns (Which were not that many. right Amanda? LoL). 😂 😂 Dr Mao, You are truly a REMARKABLE surgeon, and I am so grateful to have been under your direct care. 👍 daver

Dr. Mao is incredibly talented, gentle and gifted as a surgeon. I couldn’t be happier with his work. Thank you to Dr. Mao and your wonderful nurse Amanda!!

Gina Colelli Parisi

From Barbara P. - Dr. Mao has done my face lift, neck lift, and CO2 laser; however, even though all yielded dramatic transformations, I must give Dr, Mao kudos for something he corrected which had bothered me for nearly all my adult life, and that was the severe tears to my earlobes as a result of wearing heavy earrings, and drooping with age. With his signature artistic eye, he repaired and shaped my earlobes in a way that was so natural, that his modifications were undetectable! Now I can pull my hair back, sport new earrings with confidence knowing my new earlobes are in keeping with my face and neck procedures. I have now scheduled another CO2 and a Blepharoplasty, as I trust no one more than Dr. Mao and his extraordinary nurse, Amanda, both of whom have always demonstrated concern compassion, and expertise beyond anyone’s expectations. If plastic surgery is a consideration for you, please book a consultation with Dr. Mao. You will not be disappointed.

Anna S.

From Barbara P. - Fantastic work!

Dr. Johnny Mao is by far the best plastic surgeon I have found in the metropolitan area. His expertise and artistic eye have afforded me the facelift and necklift I have desired for many years. My results have been noticeable, yet natural, which is a balance that is not often attained by most surgeons. I feel and look refreshed with a smoother, more supple, yet firm appearance. My neck is sculpted and without wrinkles now! As a follow up, I elected to have a Fractional CO2, in order to remove dark spots and sun damage, and believe me, it enhanced the work Dr Mao did during surgery! I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Mao's work, as his professionalism, care, and execution of his craft are all to which every plastic surgeon should aspire. His staff, and especially his nurse, Amanda, mirror his commitment to his patients. Amanda has availed herself to meet my needs before, during, and after surgery, which has really added a personal touch to my experiences there. She is the perfect complement to Dr. Mao. Mere words belie the trust and respect I have for Dr. Mao and his staff. I would go to no one else for any cosmetic procedure.

BARBARA PUGLISI

Dr. Mao did an outstanding job on my eyelid ptosis repair. I couldn’t be any happier with my results and wish that I had done the procedure sooner. He is quite meticulous and explained the different measurements of eyelids which I did not even know it mattered. His staff was very friendly and accommodating. The entire experience was positive. I would highly recommend Dr. Mao for any eyelid surgery.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mao for several years and have had multiple procedures done. This last one was a second facelift. At first, my face swelled up so bad that I couldn't recognize myself. But after 2-3 weeks, I saw big improvements. The wrinkles to the sides of my mouth are gone. My face looks more slim and lifted. My jawlines are crisp! I now look younger than my 10 years younger boyfriend. Chuckle! I totally trust Dr. Mao. He is an outstanding surgeon and cares a lot about his work!

H. Wang

Over the last couple years, I have had several rounds of Botox and fillers from Dr. Mao, and the experience and result were extremely positive. At first, my intent was to explore options to correct asymmetry between my eyebrows and a surgery timeline for my droopy eye lids. Dr. Mao explained in detail what surgical procedure can do and possible side effects and risks. In the end, he recommended that I start with Botox and fillers first. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. His injection points actually lifted one of my eye brows, making them look more symmetrical. The fillers compensated my loss of collagen from aging. All in all, no one believed I have lived half a century, and if someone asks what my secret is, I am afraid Dr. Mao would be part of the answers! I am still looking at the timeline for him to lift my lids... I wouldn't go to anyone else but him.

Sophia M.

My experience with Dr. Johnny Mao and his assistant Amanda was outstanding from the first time I walked into his office. I’ve had 2 rhinoplasty’s in the past years and was looking for a revision. I was very nervous about going through a third but Dr. Mao answered all of my questions and made me feel more confident and relaxed. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the results of my revision rhinoplasty. I finally feel more confident with my new nose! Dr. Mao has the best bed side manners on top of being an awesome surgeon. My results are very natural looking. Amanda was so patient with me and answered all of my emails and phone calls while going through the recovery process. They are the best team! I definitely recommend Dr. Johnny Mao!

I recently had my eyes done with Dr Mao. Initially my family was against plastic surgery but after the procedure I looked younger and more awake. And best of all I can see things much brighter. THANK YOU Dr Mao!!!
