I had a few consultations but when I went into Dr. Ackerman's office for my consult I knew immediately he was the surgeon for me. He is very meticulous and detailed oriented - I felt like he was analyzing my face carefully ensuring that he would get the results I desired. He took time to explain the specifics of the procedure and also showed me pictures of what I could expect looking at others of similar age. I am 65. I had a big event and his staff worked diligently to accommodate my schedule. His works is beautiful. I was afraid to look at first and my husband said it's incredible and so immediately I knew all was well. The after care was terrific - Dr. Ackerman takes things one step at a time to ensure patient understands the stage they are in. It takes time but I was happy with my results immediately. Scars are minimal and so well hidden - he takes great pride in his work. I look natural - just me looking a lot younger! From old lady to young lady is what he says and it's true! I highly recommend his as a surgeon. I had great confidence in him and love my results!

I felt healthy and energetic, yet I looked tired and worn. It may sound cliché, but I wanted my appearance to reflect how I felt. I didn’t want to look different or more glamorous—just like a more youthful version of myself. I was also tired of feeling overlooked or invisible in public.
I consulted with several surgeons, and Dr. Ackerman stood out immediately. He was the only one who performed a thorough facial examination during the initial consultation. I had reviewed his before-and-after photos beforehand, and it was clear that his patients looked like refreshed versions of themselves—not like entirely different people. That was exactly the outcome I wanted, and it’s exactly what I received.
Dr. Ackerman is an exceptional surgeon. His procedures take time because he is meticulous, thoughtful, and committed to achieving the best possible result. He also schedules regular follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. His office staff is welcoming, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process.
I am now about three months post-surgery. Although I am nearly 80, friends often tell me I look significantly younger. More importantly, I no longer feel overlooked in public, and I’ve noticed a real increase in everyday interactions and conversations with others.

I could not be happier with my decision to choose Dr. Ackerman for my mother. From the very first consultation, He took the time to explain the entire procedure, address all my concerns, and make me feel completely at ease and confident that I made the best decision for my mother. The results are absolutely amazing—My mother looks incredibly refreshed and natural and not over pulled. His entire team is supportive and professional through out her recovery. If you are considering a deep plan facelift I would recommend him.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ackerman and his entire team. I spent a great deal of time researching and was very intentional about finding the most qualified surgeon, focusing on education, credentials, patient and peer reviews—not trends or popularity. From the moment I went in for my consultation, I knew I was in the right hands.

I have since had surgery with Dr. Ackerman and could not be more satisfied with the results. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I have complete confidence in his skill and judgment. I have no need to look any further—he’s my guy. In the coming months, I plan to have additional work done with him, and I am fully confident the results will be natural, seamless, and just as positive an experience as before.

I have had a great experience as a patient of Dr. Ackerman’s. From day one he and his staff have been very kind, professional and attentive to every detail. At 3 1/2 months post-op I am thrilled with the results of my deep plane lower face and neck lift. I have really appreciated the expert medical care and support provided by Dr. Ackerman and his team.

I absolutely love Dr Boris Ackerman. I cannot recommend my plastic surgeon highly enough. He performed my original facelift when I was 45, and 20 years later, I trusted him again for an updated procedure—and that decision exceeded every expectation.

He is exceptionally meticulous and truly a perfectionist in his craft. His attention to detail, combined with his deep expertise, sets him apart. Not only is he highly respected in his field, but he also teaches other surgeons, which speaks volumes about his skill and reputation.

What impressed me most is how current he is with the latest techniques. Rather than taking a more traditional approach, he performed a deep plane facelift, ensuring the most natural and long-lasting results possible. His commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements gave me complete confidence in my care.

The results are beautiful, natural, and exactly what I had hoped for. I feel refreshed—not overdone—and that is a testament to his artistry and precision. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines experience, innovation, and an uncompromising standard of excellence, I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Dear Dr. Ackerman,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the excellent care I have received since having surgery in June. Your reassurance and professionalism are much appreciated. You were even generous enough to come in on your day off when I needed post operative support. The hernia repairs and abdominoplasty have resulted not only in an improved aesthetic but more importantly in a better quality of life as I no longer have the chronic back discomfort I had in the past. Your surgical and office teams demonstrate a positive and caring manner which means a great deal.

I wish you and your team continued success in the future and thank you all for your kindness.

Sincerely,
K.M.

Dear Dr. Ackerman,

Saying Thank You! The more I search the more a material gift seems inadequate. To express my gratitude in words rings clear, but how? My experience resulting from the five procedures Dr. Ackerman performed for me is unique. My recognition cannot be unlike that experience.A material gift large of small feels effortless. Items from the mall and Internet seem
cheap and mundane.

After many pages of trashed rhetoric it all boils down to this simple truth. When people see me they say, “You look absolutely beautiful”, and for the first time in 63 years I totally agree.

Your gift to me will last me a lifetime. My gift to you is on of admiration and awe.

Lovingly,
J.A.

Dear Dr. Ackerman,

I wanted to write to thank you for the referral your gave me over a year ago to Dr. Boris Ackerman in Newport Beach. I came to see you for very heavy thighs and legs, wondering if you could do liposuction on that area. I appreciated your honesty when you told me that I would not have a good response to liposuction alone because I had “loose skin” and really needed a leg lift. You told me to only go to someone who did a lot of lower body lift, as it is a difficult surgery. You referred me to Dr. Ackerman and I underwent a “Lower Body Lift” in April 2003. I was in surgery for 5 hours and it is really only after the fact that I realize what a disaster this could have been in the wrong hands. Dr. Ackerman is such a skilled surgeon that the results are beyond my expectations. Dr. Ackerman told me that this is the longest incision in plastic surgery and the first couple of weeks were fairly uncomfortable, but manageable. I was back at the gym in 4 weeks and continue to do great.

Yours truly,
P.A.

Dr. A,

Seriously, I just wanted to say thank you. I now don’t feel like my face screams “I’m cranky or a grouch.” I feel like I look better for Michael, which is one of the reasons for my decision. He says that it didn’t matter to him. For some strange reason he likes being around me now. That’s good, cause I like being around him. His is a dear and wonderful husband. So again, thank you for turning my face into a smile, you brought the smile from the inside to the outside, what a talent you have.

Jay E.
