Everyone was very kind and I am still healing but am 95 percent happy right now!

Chin Surgery

Dr. Costa was very informative and personable. He answered all my questions and fears. He was very reassuring and confident in his ability. I was very impressed with his experience and knowledge.

Eyelid Surgery

From the moment I entered the office until I left, the experience was extreemly professional. The office is immaculate , the staff warm and friendly and the surgeon kind and thorough. I was consulting to have a blepharoplasty (eye lid surgery). The physician and staff did not try to engage me in considering any other services than what I came for.

Neck Lift

Dr. Costa answered all of my questions and was not rushed at all in detailing the procedures I was interested in.

Dermabrasion

From the consultation to surgery date and follow up appointments, everything was very pleasant. Procedures were described, Dr Costa didn't try to talk me into more than what I felt I needed., things were described in detail, questions were answered pre and post surgery. Dr Costa spent a lot of time with us during the consultation and we didn't feel rushed at all. I liked that the nurse called daily the first 5 days post surgery. Recovery was very much as it had been explained to me. I am very pleased with my results thus far!

Treatment / Procedure

Dr. Costa was very professional. He was detailed and answered all questions.

Neck Lift

The office staff and Dr. Costa were very willing to take as much time as I needed for the consultation.

Dr. Costa spent 1 hour explaining how, what and why he would perform the procedures he would perform. He was personable and answered all my questions. Looking forward to booking an appointment. Trying to work it out with my schedule.

Neck Lift

Dr. Costa called me personally because he couldn't be in the office for my one week follow up. I so very much appreciated that because I was very nervous about him not seeing me and telling me everything was ok and normal. The nurse had sent him pictures so he was able to see what I looked like.

Neck Lift

Staff is very friendly and Dr. Costa was lovely. Took his time, and seemed genuinely interested in personally helping me. He also engenders a lot of confidence. I am excited (and of course nervous) about my surgery!

Brow Lift

Dr. Costa was very honest and straightforward and took the time to explain and show examples on the topics.

Brow Lift

I was very impressed by Dr. Costa's level of training, experience, and professionalism, yet he was very patient and answered all of my questions & concerns.

Dr Costa is fantastic. He has extensive facial surgery experience, impeccable credentials (multiple board certifications) and a kind temperment that make him the best plastic surgeon ever. I am a returning patient for a touch up after almost 10 years. The office staff are also wonderful!

[Highly satisfied?] Yes, Dr. Costa was highly informative and friendly. He answered all of my questions and I never felt rushed that he had to get on to another patient.

Personal and professional - could not have made me feel more comfortable.

Face Lift

So far I have only had my consultation, but Dr. Costa and his staff were incredible.

Eyelid Surgery

We felt Dr. Costa took his time explaining procedures to us, we never felt rushed. He answered all the questions we had and didn't try to "sell us" on procedures we weren't interested in. I felt he was honest about what I need to do and don't need to do. He was personable and confident and made me feel at ease. The office staff was friendly, efficient and made me feel very comfortable.

Face Lift

Prompt and thorough, but still personable.

Face Lift

Dr. Costa was open and easy to talk to. He did not hesitate or hedge on any question that I asked. I appreciated the time he took to see me. I cannot suggest anything that he could do differently!

Eyelid Surgery

I was told what to expect before the surgery was performed, had all my medical supplies on hand and answers to my questions immediately. There was virtually no pain, just discomfort for the first day, and tightness, which is to be expected. The sutures are a bit frightening to see, but things improved quite dramatically each day, so that fright was short lived. A complete facelift is nothing to be taken lightly, but if one is committed to the healing process and willing to take it easy for a few weeks, the benefit far outweighs the downtime. I am so happy I did it!

Face Lift

Dr. Costa was extremely helpful in describing everything I wanted to know about the procedure. He was both informative and personable. I felt very comfortable that he is the doctor I want to perform my surgery.

Face Lift

I had procedures one week apart with Dr. Costa and Dr. Crantford. Excellence, kindness, and humor were what I received from everyone! Thank you!! Plastic surgery is a serious and very personal decision. Once it’s made, having the best people for the journey matters so much. I’m so glad I was referred to you! I look and feel better about myself. I have new confidence in myself.

Eyelid Surgery

The office was following strict protocols with respect to COVID. The office was immaculately clean and although behind all PPE’s the staff was friendly and cooperative. Dr. Costa thoroughly explained his findings and spent a lot of time describing the procedure. (benefits and risks etc.)

Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Costa listened to what I hoped to achieve and let me know what the results would be.....My appearance with eye and face lift is a better version of myself. The single best thing, that’s tough....but other than the results...my answer would be The “personal care“. You stay over night after in a private apartment and for a week you receive daily calls to ask if you have questions or concerns.

Dr. Costa is so skilled and I love the result! Really really liked the staff. Visits were so so efficient!!! And timely!!

Pigmented Lesion Removal

Office staff professional, Dr .Costa outstanding!

Face Lift

From the moment I made the decision to move forward with the surgery until today, I've felt well taken care of and so happy with my results. Having heard of others, who went to different practices and saw imperfections in their results, I feel so fortunate to have had Dr. Costa perform such a delicate and important surgery. Within two weeks or less, I felt confident to be in public. Anyone in the medical profession that I shared my surgery story, couldn't get over the artistic abilities that Dr. Costa is blessed with.

Face Lift

Dr. Costa's work looks natural. The surgery was on time, and loved having the recovery suites in the same building. Trish was prompt answering questions prior to and after surgery. [Single best thing is...] The technique and skill level of Dr. Costa.

Face Lift

Technique - glad Costa used the deep plane approach where he could. Price - glad I wasn't sold other add on procedures such as fat grafting or skin resurfacing. Experience - felt confident because Costa had a long track record and he is focused on faces only. [Single best thing is...] wasn't oversold on the results.

I was not highly satisfied because the virtual video didn't work.

Face Lift

Once some time had passed following my surgery my new face surfaced. It looked like me, but no longer did I have the cords under my chin. The jowls were gone. Dr. Costa gave me what I wanted. A younger tighter neck and face.

Great experience all around - thank you!

Face Lift

I am very pleased with my lower face lift, neck lift and brow lift - the results are very natural and gave me the results I was hoping for. Dr. Costa is a great cosmetic surgeon and his staff are professional and helpful. I stayed overnight in one of the guest suites after my surgery and it was comfortable and convenient. I researched cosmetic surgeons for a year prior to my surgery and has several consultations and and so happy with my choice!

Face Lift

Very welcoming doctor and staff. Made me feel at ease.

Eyelid Surgery

As an out of town resident the virtual call gave the convenience of talking the call from home. Even though this was the second consult for the same procedure... Dr. Costa took his time and was very thorough in his assessment and explanation of the selected procedures. I look forward to scheduling my surgeries.

Face Lift

Having a facelift was not at the forefront of my mind, so when my daughter came in for a consult, I decided to make an appointment just to inquire. Within three weeks my surgery was scheduled and completed. The entire office is kind and accommodating, and Dr. Costa visually indicated what he thought would be the best approach to a younger look.

Face Lift

I thought the results hit all my key goals: looks natural, friends tend to ask if I've been on vacation, look about ten years younger (I think). The results was #1. Beyond that I was especially pleased with the professionalism and support of everyone on the team from Dr. Costa on down.

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Costa is a highly sought after, top notch plastic surgeon. He showed pictures of before and after surgeries of previous clients. He took his time in telling me what he could do for me.

Mini Face Lift

Dr. Costa is the Ultimate Professional and is about Excellence in all of his interactions. Dr. Costa spent time asking me questions and truly listening to my concerns and I appreciated that so...much. I came away feeling that he truly understood my concerns and he explained so meticulously what he thought that I needed largely through visual examples. His visual examples of where they were and where I am truly helped me understand my Before and After. Thorough, Professional, Friendly, Articulate, Great Listener all describe Dr. Costa. I highly recommend him and will continue to do so.

Face Lift

Gained appreciation for experience level. Surprised by how much time he spent with me. Not rushed at all.

Rhinoplasty

Good surgical results. Being able to stay in one of the suites before the surgery relieved a lot of stress. Kindness, skill and efficiency of Dr. Costa and all of the staff was wonderful. I've worried about my nose for literally 50 years and now I feel so much better about it.

Dr. Costa and his staff were outstanding. They took great care of me and call me often to check on me. They really care about you and they do an outstanding job on your face.

He encouraged her to speak honestly and openly about her nose and developed a connection by acknowledging her feelings, explaining the process and providing insight on the final outcome. She felt comfortable with the procedure and excited about it.

From the very first meeting with Dr. Costa during the consultation, he was very kind, patient and answered all my questions.

The results are fantastic and natural looking.
