Patient Success Stories

"Dear Dr Hoenig,

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. Even though it was unrelated to the surgery you saw me in your office and followed up with phone calls over the weekend. I truly appreciate everything.

You are the best there is.

Fondly,

L.P. (endoscopic browlift and eyelid surgery)

"Just a note to let you know that my eyes are completely healed and that they have gone back to their ability to close even MORE during sleep than before! This was an unintended benefit and I am SO HAPPY! Plus I look great, which is all thanks to you. See you next time I'm in need of improvements,"

C.M. (bilateral eyelid ptosis repair)

"It has been almost three months since the repair of my previous neck lift and I am extremely satisified with the work that you did. When I look in the mirror now I am seeing what I looked like 15 years ago. You are not just a plastic surgeon, but an artist and a sculptor.

Sincerely,"

(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)

"Just a quick note to Dr. Hoenig. I had Radiesse put in my cheeks and I just wanted to let him know that it turned out perfect. I'm very happy with it."

D.B. (radiesse to cheeks)

"Danya,

Thank you for all your help and support during my surgeries. When you walk in the room during surgery, I immediately feel comforted and reassured. Best wishes always,"

C.M. (browlift, facelift, fat transfer, chin reduction, lower eyelid surgery)

"Hi Danya,

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,"

B.T. (Botox for migraines)

"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,"

C.M. (eyelid ptosis repair)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you so much for your time and expertise - you are awesome. And thank you for helping our sight fund.
We love you!"

"I am so very happy with my new me, I am absolutely thrilled every morning when I get up and look at the mirror... When Miguel saw me for the 1st time he was astonished of your good work. I am also very thankful to you how you have treated us. I never thought or imagined I could turn the clock back so unbelievably natural .Thank you very much. "

N.K. (facelift and fat transfer)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,
I just want you to know how much I appreciate your warm, caring assistance. It made me feel so comfortable and relaxed to know that you were available to talk to me and see me over the weekend. I greatly appreciate the extraordinary effort that you put forth on my behalf. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Most sincerely,

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

"Thank you from my heart for being the best doctor in the world."

G.W. (lower eyelid reconstruction with hard palate graft)

"Thanks, Doc. You're the absolute best always. I receive the best care from you and your staff - all professionals and on top of the latest, yet kind and caring too. Thanks so much,"

B.H.

"I'm very grateful for everything you've done - from the 1st time I had eyelid surgery on March 2007 to last time when you repaired the ptosis on my right eye. You have extended your service to me more than I expected. This is why I will surely recommend you to all the people that I know. Thanks also for the great staff, Danya and Naomi."

Best Regards,

L.B.

"I haven't had a chance to really thank you for the eyelid surgery you performed for me. It has been about 10 months now, and my eyes feel great. I just want to thank you for your thoughtfulness both in preserving both functionality and how it looks (and for coming in on a Sunday to take out the stitches)."

R.H.

"I just want to take a moment to express sincere appreciation for the masterful work you did to improve our "appearance" as well as our self esteem and outlook on life! The special events of my daughter's as well as my own wedding were even more special due to my "secret self confidence" with a younger face!

We feel very fortunate to have found the BEST in you & your staff!

Sincerely,"

J.M. (facelift, lower eyelid surgery, fat transfer)

"Just to update you, I was very impressed with the procedure a month or so ago - it really did amaze me the results from the filling of the hollow areas and the stark differences it made to my appearance and now my whole outlook on things. You really have helpled me look at things in a whole different way now that I know that things are not so serious any more."

J.G. (consultation only, patient came from England)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you for all your care during our stay here. Not only were we impresed by your exceptional professional knowledge, also we were touched by your warm humanity. Thank you !!"

B.K. and H.D. (facelift, browlift, eyelid ptosis repair and blepharoplasty, tca chemical peel and facelift, fat transfer)

"Dear Dr. Hoenig,

Thank you very much for seeing me for my left eye plug problem. I hope we can get it out the next time I see you. Your generosity, kindness, and wonderful bedside manner were greatly appreciated. Sincerely,"

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,

L.M. (facelift)

"I can't thank you enough for the absolutely wonderful work you did on my face. I know it presented problems for you, given my previous history but thanks to your patience, technique, and artistry, you gave me a result that I could not have imagined any better. I thank both you and Danya for the ongoing care you gave me. Fondest wishes,"

N.S. (mini facelift)

"Dear Danya,
i wanted to let you know how happy I am. I am feeling great, still a bit swollen around my neck but happy happy. I feel I have been so well taken care of. Please tell your husband how grateful I am for his magnificent work and his care.

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,"

B.K. (from Spain, facelift, browlift, eyelid ptosis repair and blepharoplasty, tca chemical peel)

"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. "

V.K. (restylane injections to upper and lower eyelids)

"Nothing can express the amount of gratitude my family and I have for the kindness and compassion you have shown me. Please accept this small gift as a token of my appreciation. Thank you so much,"

A.B.

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

E.J.

"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,"

L.M. (consultation and follow up only, no surgery)

"Thank you for all that you do. I appreciate your patience, your conscientious care, and your meticulous work."

M.V. (facelift, pre-jowl implant, then skin cancer and reconstruction surgery)

"Wishing you all the enjoyment, all the happiness, and all the blessings from God. Thank you for my care."

M.M.

"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."

B.T.

(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......"

W.M.

"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."

"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!"

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,”

“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!”

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

“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,”
