I had a tummy tuck and lipo with Dr. Mo Zakhireh and im recovering at the moment but I can see the huge difference in my body. He is an artist, & he has an amazing team. I highly recommend him, everyone was friendly and professional.

I always got my injections done here. The best place in the area! I’m always satisfied with the results. If I could give them a better rating I would.

Dr. Mo is excellent!!!! I highly recommend Dr. Mo to anyone looking for cosmetic services. Not only is he very professional and knowledgeable, he also has the most sincere energy. This was my first cosmetic procedure and I was pretty anxious for it even though I had wanted the surgery. Dr. Mo made the whole process easy and so did his staff. Everyone in the building is extremely kind and warm. The receptionist in the front Makaihl is super sweet, Susan is so helpful during the consultation process, Asia is patient and knowledgable. My surgery went better than expected! Dr. Mo was always positive and reassured me that I would have a great outcome. It's been three weeks and I already love my results. Thank you Dr. Mo and the staff at CSI! You are all the best at what you do!

I LOVED Dr. Mo, and how professional + friendly their whole team is. It’s such a quiet and private place to have surgeries done. Due to how competent and how thorough the staff was, I feel great after only day 3 of recovery. Having an abdominoplasty, back liposuction, and fat graft injection, I can say this is the best place to go. Thank you all. ♥️

I wish I could give Dr. Zakhireh 100 stars! He is a very skilled and compassionate surgeon. He recently applied his skills and knowledge on a facelift for me, and people tell me he took 20 years off my appearance! In addition, his carefully planned pre-surgery screening saved my life. I had high blood pressure and did not know it! His staff is very professional, and incidentally most have been with him since he opened his practice!
I highly recommend this office and most especially, Dr. Mo Zakhireh. He is the best!

I went to Dr. Zakhireh in 2011 for an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation after losing 80 lbs. with my tummy tuck I am left with ‘dog ear’ flaps on either of my hips rather high and cannot wear cute bikini bottoms. With my breast augmentation I was left with the double-bubble effect where you can see the curvature of my natural breast and below that there is a definite hard line of where the cavity was dug too low where the implants sit. While going through recovery I was very insecure and up set and couldn’t always hold back my tears in our check up appointments. His response to my emotion was “You poor girls in Southern California. So much pressure to look so perfect” or “you could have cancer, it could be much worse”. I was at that point dissatisfied not only with my surgery, but also his bedside manner and mentioned my discomfort to the gals at the front desk. Rather than fixing his work he insisted it was the way my body healed (not the case after seeking second and third opinions with other local doctors). On top of the negative experience I was going to be additionally charged for him to put a bandaid on the mistake by doing an autologous fat transplant which I had had in the past in my face, which does not solve the problem for good. I told a client of mine about my experience overall and she was also a client of his. He mailed me a notice of signed affidavits of his staff expressing that I missed numerous appointments (which I never had, in fact, the office tried to reschedule an appointment of mine due to a surgical client opting for liposuction that day which minimized my window with the doctor) and was discharged as a client for breaching client/doctor confidentiality. Through out these negatives experiences I never went to an appointment alone. A family member was always with me and experienced the appalling ordeal first hand along side me. This was not my first experience with cosmetic surgery. I had a rhinoplasty 3 years prior with Dr. Peter Scheer. I was used to a very kind bedside manner with Dr. Scheer and wonderful results. I am not a client with false expectations of surgery. I understand that you need to expect the unexpected, however, to be belittled by someone who you put your life in their hands and gave them $20,000 cash is less than desirable. Further more, 6 years later I still have nerve pain in my lower back from his liposculpting and never regained any feeling in my lower abdomen. I would not recommend CSI. My foolish 27 year old self signed a paper before surgery stating that I would waive the right to sue if there was any issue with the surgery. After all of that disappointment I’m very sorry I signed that document.

This review is long overdue since it has been 3 yrs. since my surgery. I had abdominoplasty surgery, butt grafting and liposuction. I have had problems from day one of my surgery and the problems continue until this day. The 1st week that Dr. Mo pulled out my drainage tubes there was an infection. While I was in the office I ran into the anesthesiologist and we got to talking and he said he didn't know I had an autoimmune disease. I discussed this with the Dr. Mo thoroughly because I was not sure it would be safe to forego surgery. The anesthesiologist was shocked he didn't know and it could have turned into a real problem during surgery.
I do not have a belly button anymore and the scar that should be my belly button is about 2 inches higher than it should be. I have a huge crease or ledge on my lower back instead of a contoured lower back which is what I was told I would have. There is too much fat in the upper region of my butt. I cannot wear half of my clothes because of the ledge. I have dog ears on my incision which is excess tissue that protrudes at the ends of an incision and should be easy to correct, but that didn't happen. This often occurs because the incision was not taken from hip to hip. He cut them off, somewhat but they have come back bigger than before. Whether taking out my tubes, or cutting off my dog ears it was always done very abruptly and painfully.
With all these problems, severe pain, infections, I was continually told to go elsewhere for treatment instead of him taking responsibility to correct his errors. There were never any answers as to why I was experiencing the pain or results that I was experiencing. I would come into his office crying because of pain or fear of what I was going through and Dr. Mo would tell me to get a grip and change my attitude. It was like I was the one causing my problems because of my attitude. It was like I was the one causing my problems because of my attitude. I came in one time with a horrible infection and he said he never had seen anything like it before. My personal doctor couldn't believe that was his response. It needed to be treated immediately. That was the last time I saw Dr. Mo.
I have had every test, x-rays, consults imaginable and still am having infections, pain and bad results. The only way to correct this is to have the surgery redone. My body was certainly better before the surgery. As a patient, we are held responsible for our part therefore, the doctor should be responsible for their part. If something is not the way they say it is going to be they should correct it. It's awful not to get the results we are promised. We have to learn to live with our mistakes.

Dr. Mo did an excellent job for me and Peggy also was fantastic. The entire staff could not have been nicer or more professional. I couldn't be happier with my results. I highly recommend the Cosmetic Surgery Institute.

Surgery didn't go as well as I expected. Dr Mo K. Missed an obvious spot and offered to redo it with a charge. Im so disappointed after paying all that money and the work was not done as promised even more that he would charge me.

I had face lift and erbium laser procedures with Dr Zakhireh over two years ago. When you plan for plastic surgery, you are hoping for a fresher, younger look. After consultation, Dr Zakhireh told me that I would look 15-20 years younger and that my face was going to look thinner. That's pretty exciting to hear and I went into this with high hopes. Not unrealistic hopes but optimistic.

By the day after my surgery, it was clear that I had a two inch round burn on one cheek from the erbium laser. It took almost four months for the burn to heal and when it did, it left a large blotchy white scar that is quite visible. Then, stitches that were left in both cheeks left an unnatural and swollen look. I went back four times to have stitches removed because they had tangled and created visible pulling of the cheek. One area was particularly bad and after three tries to remove the stitches it is still swollen and hurts to touch.

Prior to the surgery, I did not have under eye hollows, but with lifting of the cheeks I ended up with hollows that look worse because of the puffy cheeks. I never had a refreshed look which is what you hope for.

It's been embarrassing to know that my family and friends think I made a mistake. In my entire circle of friends, only one said you look good and later said she was just being nice. Several people said they were scared when they saw me and worried that I was ill. Others have asked me if I was sorry that I did this. Really sorry. This was a not a good surgery or experience.

Was recommended by a friend whose procedures I thought were letter perfect and I must say, she was on the money. Not only is the entire office an incredibly safe, professional and friendly environment but the staff of RNs is incomparible. Peggy was my clinician and boy does she know her stuff. I had thought I was going to get away with regaining just my upper lip, missing in action due to aging, using fillers such as Restylane, Rejuvadern, Botox, etc. but I was priviledged enough to have a very well vettted person who was able to assess what I really needed, what my options were and to minimize pain, anxiety and let me feel in the hands of in incredbily capable lady. Here I am, three days later writing this review because this office and their associates are that good!! My lip procedure was as painless as it can be (come on ladies and gents, it's gonna pinch for a nano-minute and be oh so very worth it at the end of the day!!) but she explained that using the product she did on me was a far better outcome than what I had done three times over the past 15 years with New York plastic surgeons who were also of the Park Avenue genre. I've had a considerable amount of other work done through the years and in closing I must extoll the fact that I am beyond satisfied and very lucky to live in Palm Desert and have this over the top facility and all of it's employees and doctors at my doorstep. If you are now or have ever considered looking a little younger, a lot healthier and getting those heads to turn again, RUN, DONT WALK.. Save your paycheck, spend it where it counts the most, upfront and personal with a fabulous clinic on your side.
