MICHAEL NICCOLE's Online Review Report Card

I am so disappointed with Dr. Niccole and my surgery. I went to him because of his many years of experience and with his reputation I thought I could trust him. I spent $12,000 on an implant exchange and was excited to see the results. As I was going into the operation, Dr. Niccole told me that he needed to stitch up the sides of my breasts on the inside in order for the surgery to look good. I asked if my recovery would be longer and he said not to worry because he was doing this for free and you wouldn't want to have to have another surgery. After the surgery, I was so disappointed with my results. I actually looked worse than before. How could this be? At my post operation appointment, I found out Dr. Niccole never did the stitching that he said he was going to do and that's why it looked so bad. He now suggested I have another operation to fix it and wanted to charge me for it. To tell a patient what exactly you are going to do during surgery and then not do it is incomprehensible

I am going to have to have my surgery re-done at this point. I am just sick about the whole thing and so wished I had taken more time for consultations with other doctors. Please take my advice and find a different doctor, one you can trust.

Great overall experience! My experience has really exceeded my expectations. I was nervous and hesitant at my first consultation, but every single person I spoke with at CosmediCare put me at ease. I was thoroughly impressed with how much time Dr. Niccole spent with me, making sure all my questions were answered and my needs were met. On surgery day, the OR team and anesthesiologist were incredible. It felt like family taking care of me!Lovely staff and professionalism made for a very positive experience. I felt that my concerns were heard and values from my very first visit here. Dr. Niccole. further validated my choice to come here compared to the other center in California! I would recommend CosmediCare to others! Beautiful and clean facility as well!Wonderful. I love the fact that Dr. Niccole, as well as his staff, are so willing to listen and amuse all your questions without making you feel rushed or unknowing. And I also loved the fact that Dr. Niccole did not pull any punches when describing what experiences to expect during and after surgery. Great information, upon which to base your decisions.You've done a wonderful job of creating a culture centered on excellent client experiences! I'm so happy with my surgery and would recommend Dr. Niccole to anyone.

Dr. Niccole has treated both my mom and I, in his amazingly, friendly office a number of times now through our visits. At this point, we’re always ‘looking forward’ to visiting everyone in the office. Yes, you heard me right. . . We look forward to it! We’ve been treated like nothing short of family and I being very young during my first visit (21 years), felt tremendous comfort with the staff right off the bat. Dr. Niccole is humerus, funny, kind, and sensitive. We absolutely adore him and his highly respectable staff.

I had a breast plant exchange and lift due to old implants. From the first visit to post surgery I have had a great experience with Dr. Niccole and his office staff. I highly recommend Dr. Niccole.

Dr. Niccole and his staff are amazing. From my first encounter with Cheri and Dr. Niccole for my consultation to my post op visit I have had excellent care. My breasts are beautiful and all of the old nasty silicone is gone, now I have amazing breasts! Thank you Dr. Niccole

Not happy this time!!!I have always been happy with Dr. Nicole and his services in the past but this time I have been very dissatisfied as I went in for surgery to correct my eye from an accident I had years before. My eye now is even smaller than it was when I came in and it’s blatantly obvious the difference between both. I am having a hard time getting him to correct this error OR what I would like to define as BOTCHED without his practice wanting to charge me another fee!! Since my surgery not More than 3 1/2 months ago I have returned back about 5 to 6 times pointing this out amongst other things i am UNHAPPY about! My stitches on my eyelid busted less than 2 wks after my surgery and have healed terribly!!Don’t get me wrong… He is great surgeon snd has great practice but this time I’m just not happy and I wish as a repeat customer he would do what he could or is capable of to correct this mistake!I feel like now I’m just getting blown off Because this last appt last week( pls note LADT MONTH i was told to allow eye to heal lil further as surgery still fresh before he could correct) only now to told that what I should’ve gone to see a ophthalmologist surgeon to correct my eye!!!! Well then WHY was i not told this back at my consultation??? I wish they would’ve just told me this the first time instead of me shelling out a lil more than $13,000 for this unnecessary surgery As i could have waited on The dark circles under the eyes To be taken out, or reduce the creases under my nasal folds or even remove my marrionettes which did not happen!!!I could’ve put that money towards the dr (otomologist) that could’ve corrected what my initial concern was when I came in. Here it is 3 1/2 mos later that dr Niccole is NOW telling me this!!So Now they want to charge me to correct or try to correct the blehplasty eye surgery and how my eyelid healed.So angry, hurt and disappointed as i thought my initial consultation was to inform on what was to be done to help open up my eyes to try and get some sort of evenness or eyesemectricy with my other eye.Totally dissatisfied with this botched service!

He is the best!!!

I had a breast augmentation in 2014 and he did a horrible job.. Very disappointed! My breasts are uneven. My left side, the silicon bag is moving up when i workout and lift my arm, the bag goes to almost my upper chest part which looks really wired!! Never going back to his clinic for anything....

Since I had my son 12 years ago, my breasts have been sort of saggy--not ugly but I wanted to be comfortable in the clothes I wanted to wear. Three of my friends had their breasts done by Dr. Niccole so I was able to see his work. I was pleased after I first walked into CosmetiCare and met with Cheri, who did my consultation. I'd planned to go over muscle, but Cheri explained and gave me examples of what could happen if the implants were placed over muscle. Another doctor I'd consulted with never mentioned these risks. And then when I met with Dr. Niccole, he was really honest. I'd wanted a bigger size but didn't get the bigger size because I followed Dr. Niccole's recommendation about what would look best. The result is that they are big enough and proportionate. They look sexy. Thankfully Dr. Niccole understood what I was going for, because I was new to this and didn't understand what the bigger size would look like.On the day of the surgery, I was nervous but the nurse Sarah and everyone else made me comfortable. The post-op directions were amazingly clear, and what I couldn't remember, they wrote down. Even when I had questions, nobody got frustrated. After the surgery, I called them because I thought one breast was higher than the other. One was dropping. Sarah asked me to email a picture, which I did. She said I wasn't wearing the band high enough on one side so instead of having to come in, she figured out the solution right away. A few weeks later, they were proportionate to each other. I love Dr. Niccole. I am saving up for rhinoplastywith him!

I decided to get my breasts augmented because they were slightly saggy 12 years after I gave birth to my son. Dr. Niccole understood I had no experience with this and he explained everything. He was really honest. I'd wanted bigger implants but he told me what would look more proportionate with my body, and now afterwards I see he was right. The surgery went well, and the post-op directions were really clear. Now, I am saving for rhinoplasty with Dr. Niccole!

I wanted to get my breasts done because they felt sort of saggy 12 years after my son was born. I wanted to look good in my clothes. I'd been to a different doctor for a consultation but it wasn't until I went to Dr. Niccole that I really understood everything. When I met with Dr. Niccole, he didn't encourage me to get really big implants like other doctors do. He advised me against implants that would look disproportionate with my body and he turned out to be right. Once I was home after the procedure, I felt like one of my breasts might be higher than the other so I called the office and the nurse told me to send an email photo if I was comfortable. It saved me a trip and she said the band wasn't high enough on one side. A few weeks later, my breasts were perfectly proportional. I am really happy and I'm saving for a rhinoplasty with Dr. Niccole!

Because of a badly botched tummy tuck from a different surgeon, I had skin grafts on my stomach like a patchwork quilt and my belly button was way on the right side of my abdomen. Dr. Niccole fixed me completely. He put my belly button in the center where it should be, and the only scar I have is a small one in my pelvic area. It's as if I'd had a c-section. He also did an amazing breast augmentation and my breasts are proportional to my body.I was scared to go in after the nightmare I went through with the botched tummy tuck. My stomach area had turned black with necrosis and the surgeon performed 13 more surgeries to try and fix it. I'd heard so many amazing things about Dr. Niccole's breast augmentations, and I wasn't worried about that. But I was terrified about the abdominoplasty. Dr. Niccole was so reassuring. My parents are doctors and I've been exposed to a lot of doctors in my life. Dr. Niccole stands out. Talking to him is like sitting across from a friend. He and my husband would high-five about how it was going to turn out, especially the breast augmentation. When I woke up and saw how I looked, I cried and thanked him. My husband and I are ecstatic.

I've always had a more athletic body and pretty big breasts, but they were saggy like an old lady's. Dr. Niccole did my first breast augmentation 20 years ago. I was a cheerleader for the NFL and it made all the difference to have breasts that matched my body. I recently went back to Dr. Niccole for a mastopexy and breast implant exchange, and my new studly boyfriend is amazed that they're real. He loves them.Right before going into surgery, I found out that they had to cut my nipples off and make upside down "T" cuts down the front. I wasn't concerned because I have complete confidence in Dr. Niccole. I know he does his work for the patient's best outcome. I've heard from people I've referred to him that he wouldn't do a nose job because they didn't need it, or he wouldn't go bigger with a breast augmentation because it wouldn't be good with the person's body proportions. I know other surgeons will just try to get patients to get the most expensive procedures, but Dr. Niccole treats patients like members of his family. There are no visible scars on my breasts. They look completely natural.

When I decided to see Dr. Niccole about getting a breast augmentation, I wanted to look like I was wearing a pushup bra but not fake so I could wear those cute bralettes and sports bras without padding. Since I didn't want my breasts to look fake, I didn't give Dr. Niccole the size I wanted but left it to him to interpret and he got it just right! I was really pleased with the results, especially after they dropped. I was also really pleased with the procedure itself and the aftercare. I was nervous because when one of my friends had surgery, she was in pain and stayed home for two weeks. But I had the opposite experience with Dr. Niccole. I woke up feeling fine and literally went home, took a nap, took my medication and went on a walk like they suggested. I didn't have to take pain pills after the second day. The staff was really great about follow up when I had a question. The doctor suggested I use this silicon tape to help me heal so my scars are faint and the same color as my skin. You can't see them unless I am lying down with my arms over my head. Dr. Niccole gave me the exact look I wanted and it was pretty painless and easy.

I recently went to Dr. Niccole for a reduction with an implant exchange. I'd had an augmentation 10 years ago by a different doctor, and after my son was born, my breasts just kept getting bigger and bigger. Now, after the reduction surgery with Dr. Niccole, my body is much more proportional with a normal-sized chest. My husband really likes it. Before I had to wear two to three sports bras when I exercised. It's nice to only wear one.It was very comforting the morning of the surgery when Dr. Niccole came in bright and smiling, saying he was just done with a work out and ready for surgery. He was so energetic and it was only 5 a.m. Dr. Niccole is a perfectionist in the best sense. He had me come back a few months later to get the skin tightened. When I go in for visits he doesn't rush me through my questions, and he is very thorough. He's trustworthy and I know he cares. He's like a kind uncle.

I'm in sales and I've seen a lot of plastic surgery disasters in my field. I'm in my 70's and no one knows it because I've had face lifts and tummy tucks done since my 40's. No one knows I've had work done, either. Dr. Niccole is that good. I must've seen 10 or 11 doctors before I found him and they were all either as plastic as the surgery they perform or just jerks. Dr. Niccole shines so much as a human being and in his work. He is also a family man, and that makes me feel extra good about his work.

I went to Dr. Niccole for breast augmentation not really to increase my size, which was fine, but to get fullness, to look natural but like I was wearing a pushup bra without having to wear one--and he interpreted just what I wanted! I'm really happy with the results, especially after they dropped after a couple weeks. I can wear those cute lacy bralets and unpadded sports bras now. I was sort of nervous because a friend had a painful experience and had to stay home for two weeks but that was the opposite of my experience. I could stop the pain meds by the third day. I would totally recommend Dr. Niccole to my friends.

I'm in my 70's and people are always shocked to find that out. Also, no one would ever guess that I've gotten work done because I look natural. I've gotten face lifts and tummy tucks since my 40's with Dr. Niccole. I don't do anything dramatic, that looks awful. I'm in sales and there are a lot of plastic surgery disasters walking around in my field. Dr. Niccole is outstanding, one in a million. Before I found him I consulted with about 10 or 11 surgeons, and they were all either as plastic as their surgery or just plain jerks. Dr. Niccole is a wonderful human being. He is a family man and just real.

Before I found Dr. Niccole, I consulted with 10 or 11 other plastic surgeons. They were all either jerks or as plastic as their surgery. I found Dr. Niccole and he's done work on me ever since. I was in my 40's and basically, I've never had to age, thanks to him. He's done face lifts and tummy tucks that have been so good that no one can believe I'm in my 70's now and no one would ever guess I've had work done. He is also just a remarkable human being and family man, so I can say enough good things about him.
