"After interviewing plastic surgeons in the Midwest, Northern and Southern California, Dr. Adam Lowenstein was my first choice. With my surgery a month behind me, I'm confident he is the plastic surgeon that my family, friends and I will use in the future.

* He is very technical/cutting edge, but has super strong communication skills so he explains considerations & procedures clearly/ concisely.

* His surgical approach is conservative. I achieved my aesthetic goals with only one procedure, a brow lift. All other plastic surgeons recommended a package of overly-aggressive procedures.

* My surgical results are spectacular. My eyes are beautiful now with brows that are perfectly positioned, symmetrical and COMPLETELY natural-looking. I had almost no bruising and very little pain.

* He documents his recommendations, doesn't push accessory-procedures to increase fees, and provides his complete resume.

* His staff is responsive, kind and knowledgeable. My family and I found the office experience to be wonderful.

I rarely make referrals, but in this case, it's a privilege."

"I would highly recommend Dr. Lowenstein and the staff at The Montecito Center to the one’s I love most… my mother, my best friend, etc. I am absolutely thrilled with the result of my breast augmentation. Dr. Lowenstein is not only a skillful and artistic surgeon; he made me feel like his most important patient. He and his staff spent almost 2 hours with my fiancé and me during my 1st consultation, which helped both of us feel at ease about the difficult decision to move forward with elective surgery. His emphasis on creating a natural outcome is exactly what I was looking for. And I have never felt more comfortable in a physician’s office; his entire office staff is incredibly friendly, patient, and informative."

"Dr. Lowenstein is by far the most professional and qualified plastic surgeon, and we are so lucky to have him in our town. His knowledge of what works, and his expertise in performing the operation, plus his followup and personal service is beyond the "normal practice". If you have been thinking about a procedure, Dr. Lowenstein will listen and will perform surpassing your expectations! Please feel free to call me with any questions. Dr. Lowenstein's staff has my contact numbers."

"I feel quite fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Lowenstein. He is a tremendous doctor, a talented plastic surgeon, and a skilled communicator. I was referred to Dr. Lowenstein for a total breast reconstruction following a diagnosis of breast cancer (DCIS). He did such an amazing job - I couldn't be more satisfied. Dr. Lowenstein was very informative regarding all the surgical and implant options. I never felt rushed to make decisions. I left each visit feeling confident, and even motivated, about any upcoming procedure.

Dr. Lowenstein's staff is also the best - what a group of welcoming and competent professionals. I am currently in the final stages of my breast reconstruction, and, although I am relieved to have this part of my life behind me, I will always feel fortunate to have been in the care of several great doctors, including Dr. Lowenstein."

"Initially, I found Dr. Lowenstein by doing a blind review of before-and-after photo galleries of breast augmentations executed by doctors throughout California. Without paying attention to the associated doctor's name, I found that a majority of my picks all came from the same source - Dr. Adam Lowenstein.

Other doctors repeatedly suggested that I consider a large C or D because of my tall frame, I was even told by one doctor that he habitually chooses implants in surgery which are larger than the patient requests because in his experience, women always want larger breasts than they say they want! I was completely uninterested in being shaped into some doctor's one-size-fits-all ideal of the perfect woman's breast size; or in having a doctor who thought he knew better than I did in terms of what I would want in the end. Fortunately, Dr. Lowenstein was the antithesis of this.

From the initial consult throughout the process of prep appointments, scheduling, surgery and follow up, Dr. Lowenstein and his staff were caring, accommodating, skilled, and professional. Dr. Lowenstein always took ample time to listen to me, answer my questions, and be sure I was well-informed.

Most importantly, Dr. Lowenstein was able to make the jump from our in-person discussions of the desired outcome, to a real manifestation of that vision. Our communication was effective and going into surgery I knew we had the same goal/ outcome in mind. I trusted him completely to make necessary on-the-spot decisions regarding size and aesthetics while I was under anesthesia; and the results are flawless. I healed very quickly and thanks to the artful care of Dr. Lowenstein and his staff, have a truly beautiful result to my breast augmentation. The proportions are excellent and the results extremely natural looking and feeling. I could not be more pleased and I recommend Dr. Lowenstein with the highest regards."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Lowenstein. He recently completed by breast reconstruction following bilateral mastectomy. At the age of 35, I was very concerned about the outcome of such complex procedures. Dr. Lowenstein went out of his way to answer my questions, educate me about my options and helped me make informed decisions. He was incredibly sensitive, caring and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His compassion and sense of humor helped me and my husband stay positive and get through a difficult time. I am more than thrilled with my results and credit Dr. Lowenstein with helping me to feel "whole" again."

"My experience with Dr. Lowenstein and his staff has been better than I could have ever hoped it would be. From the moment I walked through the door, he made sure that I felt very comfortable. Dr. Lowenstein took the time to really listen to what I wanted, answered all of my questions, and explained all of my options to me. I am above and beyond satisfied with the results of my surgery and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone."
