Dr. Hatem Abou-Sayed, MD

I had an explant surgery with Dr. Sayed in August 2024, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience and the results. I was dealing with a grade 4 capsular contracture, which had caused me significant discomfort and visible distortion. From the very first consultation, Dr. Sayed was compassionate, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable.He made me feel completely at ease about the process, answered all my questions with patience, and clearly explained what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The procedure went smoothly, and I am beyond happy with the outcome. Not only was the contracture fully addressed, but the results exceeded my expectations both in terms of appearance and how much better I feel overall.Dr. Sayed’s surgical skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients are truly exceptional. I’m so grateful I chose him for my explant surgery—highly recommended to anyone facing similar issues.

Dr Sayed and team listened and explained what to expect from start to finish and answered questions I didn’t even know to ask. They provided full support through this experience. I highly recommend Dr Sayed. Very happy with my results and experience

From the time I met Dr. Tim Sayed in our face-to-face consultation, I felt instantly relieved and assured that my concerns about my breast implants and my health were taken seriously and acted with great consideration for what I was going through. I knew from that first meeting that he was the right surgeon to perform my explant surgery, especially when he asked if I was mentally prepared for the change along with the physical changes that would come with explanting. Anyone who has gone through this particular journey knows that it’s not just a physical game, it’s a mental commitment as well. I’m very pleased with my results (explant with lift) at the almost eight week mark & I know it’s just going to get better. I can finally breathe! Thank you so much to Dr. Sayed & his incredible medical staff of very caring people. I appreciate you all so much!

Dr. Sayed had performed an Enbloc removal of my breasts implants last year. He did an amazing job and I’m so grateful that all went well. His qualities of patience, kindness and expertise shines through. The staff are outstanding and always friendly!Thank you so much again Dr. Sayed and team!

Dr. Sayed and his team have my heartfelt gratitude. Their care, attentive listening, and exceptional results exceeded my expectations. I feel better than ever without implants. Salma, Paola, and Tammy (though no longer there) made this journey easier. If you’re considering explanting, Dr. Sayed comes highly recommended.

Dr Sayed was amazing. I had Explant surgery 3 months ago. The procedure was explained in detail went very smoothly. Recovery was very easy. Dr Sayed and his staff were so great throughout the whole experience and I am very happy with the results!

I am 12 weeks post-op breast explant and lift with Dr. Tim Sayed in Newport Beach, California. I had saline breast implants under the muscle for 20 years. Dr. Tim Sayed is a thoughtful and skilled surgeon who cares about his patients and believes in breast implant illness. Tim Sayed and his staff were always professional and thorough before, during and post surgery. The results exceeded my expectations and I am beyond happy. I highly recommend Dr. Tim Sayed.

I am six-weeks post-op from explant enbloc capsulectomy and lift with Dr. Tim Sayed, and I am so glad I chose to go with an expert surgeon who specializes in this type of surgery. Dr. Sayed is one of the top explant surgeons, I can’t say enough about how positive my experience has been with him and his entire team. From the consultation through all my post-ops, everything has been smooth sailing. Besides being a gifted surgeon, Dr. Sayed is also a compassionate, decent human being who truly cares about his patients' wellbeing. And he is a true artist; my results have far exceeded my expectations. I would choose Dr. Sayed a thousand times over!

The staff at Dr. Sayed’s office was very helpful from start to finish. Their professionalism was outstanding and I felt very comfortable from the first day that I walked into his office for consultation. Dr. Sayed made me feel very confident in his procedures and reassured me that I would be well taken care of. Dr. Sayed is a true artist and really cares about his work. He has a compassionate demeanor not only during consultation but every step of the way assuring me that I was in good hands. The emotional support that I received from staff members far exceeded my expectations. My breast explant surgery went according to schedule with no problems and 100% satisfaction.

I am not one to give reviews, but the word of Dr. Sayed and his entire team needs to be spread! Every bit of my experience has been top notch to say the least. I went to 9 consultations with 9 different surgeons and was beginning to feel beyond discouraged until I met Dr. Sayed. He listens, he cares, he empathizes with his patients and truly believes in doing what's best for those he cares for. I suffered from BII for years and struggled to find anyone who would listen to me and BELIEVE me - Dr. Sayed gave me just that and more. I even went in thinking I wanted an additional cosmetic surgery and he convinced me otherwise, telling me my health was most important first and foremost and I am SO glad I listened. The icing on the cake was the outcome of my surgery - I had an explant with a lift and Dr. Sayed did a home run job! I am 2 months post op and am beyond happy with my results, I prefer them now much more than I ever did with the implants. After the initial consultation, his entire

When I had my first consultation with Dr. Sayed, I knew that he was the one to do my procedures. I had my breast reduction with new implants and a tummy revision. My breast reduction went great, and so did my tummy revision until the next day visit, I wasn’t feeling my best. My tummy revision ended up getting a blood clot, so happy I went in to see him the next day. He knew that surgery must be done. I did not hesitate for one second, I trusted him and his surgical staff. It was suppose to be an hour procedure ended up being five hours. It was well worth it. I could have died, he saved my life. When or if you need to have surgery back to back trust your doctor, don’t stress to much, they will save your life!!! Xoxoxo

Dr. Sayed performed an en bloc breast implant removal of my 20 plus year old implants, with a lift. I did not put in new implants and did not do a fat transfer. Dr. Sayed is not only a technical master who pays attention to details and cares about his work, but he has a wonderful attentive approach -- he is patient with you, understands mind/body/spirit, takes time to explain the procedure and answer questions-- and invites you in to the preparation and planning. His team is also kind, attentive and makes you feel at ease. Post surgery he and his team are super responsive to questions and help you adjust as you are healing. I am 3 months post surgery and couldn't be happier with the results.

After seeing over 15 physicians and struggling for years with symptoms ranging from skin rashes, eye swelling, and breast pain, I was extremely frustrated for the lack of care and general lack of diagnosis to my myriad of chronic issues. After stumbling upon information online around Breast Implant Illness, I decided to educate myself on the possibility of removing my 9 year old Mentor Silicone implants. I had a few consults lined up but within 15 minutes of meeting Dr. Sayed and his team, I knew I had found my surgeon. Not only is he incredibly warm and friendly, but he took the time to explain everything with me - even pointing out that I had a capsular contracture (never during any of my breast exams with my OBGYN did this come up - nor did I realize this myself). I am 2 weeks post op from implant removal, lift, and areola reduction and so far loving my results. Thank you Dr. Sayed!

My experience with Dr. Sayed has been phenomenal. He performed an En Bloc Capsulectomy with Mastopexy (explant with lift). He has several years of experience and he is highly credentialed. I verified his licensing as well as the licensing and accreditation of the surgery centers and anesthesiologists he works with and all are what you want when trusting a doctor for your care. His office is very clean and inviting. His entire care team have been amazing and have wonderful bedside manners. During my consultation, I had many questions and they answered each of them with kindness and ease. They are supportive and are quickly responsive through recovery and aftercare. He (and his team) have taken very good care of me during a challenging time. I am extremely happy with my results. There is no doubt his warmth, expertise, and the pride and care he takes in his work plays a large role in the overall outcome. I highly recommend him.

In February, 2022, I visited Dr. Sayed for breast explant surgery using the EnBloc procedure plus a lift. I also elected to do an upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Sayed took so much time with me during the initial consultation that I completely understood the surgeries I was facing. His staff were all so friendly and helped to set me at ease. The surgeries went perfectly. Numerous follow-up appointments ensured that I completely knew how to deal with drains and manage wound care. I just had my three-month follow-up appointment. Dr. Sayed called my results a home-run! No home-run happens without a well-trained person at bat. Dr. Sayed is that person. I could not be happier than I am with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Sayed to anyone considering breast explant surgery with EnBloc.

Dr Sayed is an exceptional surgeon to say the least. I was recommended to him by 3 other ladies that explanted with him prior to myself. i had lots of BII symptoms and was desperate to explant… literally felt like I was dying. i reached out to his office and they were able to get me in to see him in as soon as possible. At our first appt he explained things thoroughly and in detail, answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. i knew he was the right person for the job once I had my consultation. my procedure went very well and I am now healing. The follow ups have been as great as the first appt and the entire staff has been beyond helpful. Selma and Sam are amazing and have been so supportive throughout this whole procedure. I feel like I made the right choice not only choosing to explant but to do it with Dr. Sayed and his staff.

I went in to get my 10 year augmentation replacement with lift. I was clear with what I was expecting in terms of perkiness, shape and size. I brought pictures. He assured me it was 100% doable. I was concerned with scar size, lifts can leave large scars. He assured me they would be minimal, even if we did the anchor lift. I also wanted my nose done to reduce the width and brought in a picture of Madison Beer. Again, assured me no problem. My breasts have massive scars over 50% of the breast, they were not lifted nearly to the height we talked about and a different implant then discussed was used. My nose looks like he barely went in to fix the width and just reshaped the tip. SO disappointed to have wasted 17k on someone who assured me he was capable of my expectations. My next day follow up appointment he was late and forgot the office keys, i was pain and dizzy waiting over an hour outside the office in the hall. All without pain meds due to a reaction. Neat

I was very fortunate to have Dr. Sayed recommended to me for my procedure. He was so professional and explained the surgery in great detail. I felt extremely confident and comfortable with Dr. Sayed and I am very satisfied with the results. I had breast reconstruction many years ago and had to have it redone. Amazing and caring doctor!
