T.Y. Steven Ip, MD, FACS

I had breast augmentation done by Dr. Ip on 12÷30÷15. I had been researching different Surgeons to go to, when I went to go see him for my first consultation he was very knowledgeable, friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He took time to answer all of my questions and thoroughly explained the whole process to me. I immediately knew this was the right Surgeon for me. Dr. Ip and his staff are fantastic and very professional. Throughout the whole process I have received the best care. 6 months after and I am extremely happy with my results. He gave me exactly what I asked for! Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great surgeon.

My husband and I spent nearly a year searching the internet for the perfect breast augmentation, which in turn would mean we would have found the perfect surgeon for the job. My perfect scenario was to be a full, natural looking, «C» cup. While browsing Dr. Ip’s before and after pictures online, I found women the were my height and weight, and had the exact breast augmentation that I was looking for. We had several consultations with different doctors, but after we met with Dr. Ip it wasn’t even a question that he would be our surgeon. Dr. Ip was above all very professional, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. What sold us was his down to earth attitude, which set us at ease. I always felt as though he was listening to exactly what I wanted for myself, and not trying to push what he felt was right for me (which happened at former Dr. consultations I had attended).
It is now two months since my surgery, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I have recommended Dr. Ip to several women who have approached me (both friends and professional acquaintances) with questions about my surgery, and will continue to do so in the future.

I accompanied my girlfriend to many breast augmentation consultations. Most of the plastic surgeons we consulted with acted like they were too busy and too important. Dr. Ip took the time to explain to us everything about the procedure and made us feel very comfortable. Dr. Ip genuinely cares about his patients and their health. We were most impressed with his knowledge, experience and level of education.
We live in Irvine and the fact that his surgery center is located right below his office made it very convenient for us. She is very happy with the results of her surgery and so am I :-))

Dr. Steven Ip is truly a superb plastic surgeon. I cannot say enough good things about him. From the first time meeting Dr Ip, to going in for my month checkup, I have been so happy! When I first walked into the office, not only was it beautiful, but the staff was incredible. Even his wife, Melissa has been so sweet and helpful to all of my questions and needs. Dr. Ip sat down with my boyfriend and I and extensively went into detail about the goals I had and how to achieve them. I got all the results that I wanted and couldn’t be anymore happier. He is truly amazing and definitely recommend going to him.

I am so happy with my results! Dr Ip was very professional he treated me with utmost respect and care I felt so comfortable. I want to thank him again and most importantly my husband wants to send his many thanks!

What a great experience! From the moment I walked in until I left I felt so comfortable. The office was beautiful. Very clean and spacious. T. Y Steven was very professional and took the time to read over my paperwork before speaking with me. He made me feel like he truly cared about my needs and he explained everything in depth. I really liked how he had a lot of experience and knowledge of common questions and cosmetic mistakes. He made me feel very calm and actually excited about the procedure I wanted. He even emailed me after the appointment thanking me for coming in. I highly recommend this Surgeon and staff. They were beyond amazing and I wouldn’t go to anyone else but him.

I have been seeing Dr. Ip for over 12 years now. I first chose him for my breast augmentation based on his patience, character and background. He is so calm and always eager to answer any questions or concerns. Jump forward 10 years and I went in for a lift and breast implant exchange after having 2 children. I still loved everything about him and his staff. I also love the surgery center. They are so efficient and the staff is all wonderful.

Although I didn’t choose dr ip for my procedure he was a 3 top contender… He seemed seasoned and like he knew what he was talking about. I couldn’t get over how luxurious his office was, I mean beyond gorge! It was my first impression of him which proved he is a boss! His service was too… I’m a busy b and time and efficiency are everything to me– he was prompt and extremely kind and comforting. I love that he sits down and goes over the procedure and costs with you rather than an office manager doing it. Like every other consult I went to… That impressed me for sure. He was extremely personable and I can only imagine that he has excellent bedside manner. He took the time to go over photos of his previous procedures that were similar to what I was looking for with similar body types and everything, also impressive! A genuine person. He also sent me home with tons of literature about what I was interested in– love that. I also love the surgery center he chooses to operate in, as it’s the best in OC and I wouldn’t have it any other way. His fees were also less than the other two plastic surgeons that were in my top three by a couple thousand bucks… So you’re probably wondering why I didn’t choose dr ip? Only bc a different PS had a style of doing tummy tucks that I preferred… (In regards to where the scars would be on my tummy) Otherwise I would have likely gone wi Dr Ip. I would definitely make a consultation appt with him and see for yourself what professional he is and all of the experience he has under his belt.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ip. I went to a few other consults and chose Dr. Ip because of his knowledge and bedside manner. I looked for two things when finding the right surgeon: credentials and personality. His background speaks for itself and it was my first meeting that made me decide to move forward with Dr. Ip. He made me feel extremely comfortable and answered all questions from an unbiased perspective. He knew exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The entire experience from start to finish was positive. Each part of the process was very organized and his team ensured that everything would be seamless for me. His team is extremely friendly and responsible and helped answer any questions I had.

I am 29 years old about to be 30! I’m 5’7 170lbs. Very athletic body curvy but always firm. After having kids my stomach was a little loose but good muscle underneath and my boobs were, well. Deflated. Dr. Ip had literally done 5 of my friends. I went in for a consultation sept 2015. Dr. Ip knew exactly what I was wanting and I trusted him fully. I never seen him do bad work! I mean 5 friends with amazing results? I was so happy to be sitting talking to him ready for my turn. We decided to do a breast augmentation and lipo in my abdomen. He spent an hr with me taking measurements and answering questions. I scheduled my surgery for November 9^th 2015 before I walked out the door. I left the size of my breast up to Dr.Ip. I didn’t want to big but I wanted to be proportionate again. I went in for my surgery so excited! They gave me plenty of nausea medicine and I opened my eyes to a new woman. I woke up with 475cc high profile to avoid a lift and a slim tummy totally proportionate with the rest of my body! I have since been on a healthy kick and slimming down even more! Happy to feel good! Thanks DR!!! 30 in March and feeling so good!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Steven Ip. He and his staff are all very friendly and professional. Choosing a surgeon was very crucial to me, and I considered several others but when I had my first consultation with him, I left with a date set for my surgery. He was very attentive when it came to my personal needs. I lead a very athletic life so I was concerned with how having a breast augmentation would affect my life. I felt completely informed and comfortable with the procedure before going into it. I was also extremely impressed when it came to choosing a size that fit me perfectly. Dr. Ip was very methodical and precise about making measurements that he believed would fit my body type right. I felt very trusting throughout the process, and my questions and concerns were answered thoroughly with attentive detail.
Today I am just over three months out of surgery and I am extremely pleased with my results. I don’t believe I could have been in better hands! Thank you Dr. Ip!

Hello,
I am 25 years old and I have breastfeed both of my children for 6 months each. I was definitely ready to get a breast augmentation and lift. I went to a lot of consultations with doctors in Los Angeles and San Diego to find the right doctor for me. They were very expensive and many of them were extremely rude. I look very young and they acted like they were better then me and I didn’t deserve their respect. I kept looking and I came across Dr. T.Y. Steven Ip on
. His office was 15 minutes from my house and I delivered my son at the hospital he performs his surgeries. I started researching him and I found nothing but five star reviews! Everyone mentioned how kind he was and how amazing his work is. The next morning I made an appointment and the moment I sat down with him I knew he was the doctor for me. He answered all of my questions and more. He told me things I honestly had no idea about and gave me many pamphlets to learn about my breast augmentation and lift. It has been four months since I had my breast augmentation and lift and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Ip is AMAZING and I wish I could give him more then five stars! He is very professional, kind, informative, caring and just a really nice guy. He always asks how I am doing and remembers my family as well. His bedside manner is also incredible and he always makes me feel welcomed. I never have to wait longer then five minutes to start my appointment either. Whenever I am in for a check up he tells me exactly what is going on with my body and what to except so I won’t be worried. (bruising, swelling or scaring) The staff is super nice as well and is always trying to do whatever is best for ‘me. Not only is Dr. Ip awesome and caring but his work is flawless! I noticed in two months my breasts were already healed and a month later my scars we fading very quickly! Before my children I was a very small A. I now am a full C and I absolutely love them! His office is extremely clean and beautiful. I highly recommend you give Dr. Ip a call for a consultation and look through his portfolio. His work is incredible and so is he!

Dr. Steven Ip is an amazing plastic surgeon, he has awesome bed side manner, he is a perfectionist/​artist and he has patience. I love his work on my body, he gave me a new image of me. My experiences with Dr. Ip was fantastic and satisfied, I had my breast augmentation on 11/​25/​2014 by Dr. Ip, I was a size 34b now I’m size 34dd. I had no complications during and after my plastic surgery. I have lots of compliments of my new breast from my friends and family, they said it looks great and natural, I love it! I’ll do it again because I trust and feel safe with Dr. Ip, plus his price is very decent compared to the three plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and Los Angles that I had went in for consultations.
satisfied patient/​customer,

Dr. Ip is very professional yet approachable. He’s among the best surgeons. Although I try to avoid surgery in general, I wouldn’t hesitate to go to him again if the need arises. His office staff help to make the experience straightforward and uncomplicated.

I was going to wait several months before making an ‘educated’ review but can’t resist. I am so glad that Newport Beach is like my second home. I happen to visit friends there often, and the selection of doctors where I live is average (average surgery = no WAY). So, I Unilocaled in the Newport Beach area and found the best ratings, by far, were for Dr. T.Y. Steven Ip. It wasn’t until after my treatment that I read Dr. Ip’s bio, matter of fact, and hands down, had to make a review. For starters, I had a BA, and here are the things that awed me the most:
1. Dr. Ip has great bedside manner, but that is an understatement. He (and his fiancé Melissa — I think that is her name) are quirky, funny, and positive! Actually, Melissa was the first person I met in the office and she immediately brightened up my day! She is the best receptionist ever and shared her experiences right away.
2. Dr. Ip made the whole pre-​op consultation feel simple, educational but not overload, and best of all he made it feel super normal; probably the excitement level of grocery shopping. I liked that. lol
3. Dr. Ip knew what was best for me, without me explaining much (I probably should have but don’t know why I didn’t). I googled just about everything to death to decide what I wanted and why… you’d think I’d have talked to him for an hour about it but come to think of it, I told him maybe five short things out of the 20 things that I had on my «list» of wants. So, after treatment I started questioning what we chose because I had not explained everything, and a few days after surgery I drilled through that list in my mind… and what he chose and how he placed it fit 100% everything I wanted. Some of the ‘cons’ (according to google searches) of the implants I received (textured) were actually ‘pros’ to me, in fact. So he picked a great fit for my build and listened to the things I emphasized. He has great instinct and aesthetic eye.
4. Knowledge of techniques (not that I am one to judge this sort of thing), but I’d say he knows his stuff, comparing what he did to what I’ve read other doctors talk about! Reading through other posts where surgeons say there is no such thing as «full unders» is scary, and I’m glad I didn’t bump into one of them because I had zero tissue to work with, and my implants were placed under the pectoral and abdomen-​area fascia (to my understanding) like I needed. No dual plane for me, thanks.
5. Price. Great results and yet the price was about the same as quotes I’ve received from other competitive doctors.
Side note: Nothing to do with Dr. Ip’s skill. There is one thing I’d say could improve but I’m not quite sure how to describe it. Between Dr. Ip’s office, the lab office, and the surgery office, there was miscommunication, which ended up A OK but right before going under the knife, I got a little squirly. For example, I had my bloodwork done on Sunday. The lady tells me, «Results will be ready on Tuesday.» Me: «But my surgery is Monday!??» «Okay we will fax it» she says. Another example was the nurse in the surgery room. Before surgery, I asked Dr. Ip if I could have take home care instructions. He said sure, the nurse will give it to you. When I woke up, the nurse says «Oh Dr. Ip gave that to you.» Um??? So my boyfriend went to Dr. Ip’s office, and apparently Dr. Ip was also confused, thinking the nurse should have given me the paper (at least this is what I think happened, retelling a story told to me by the bf). There were a few more things but whenever there was a discrepancy Dr. Ip and Melissa took my word immediately and it was no big deal.
So some coordination there would be good, simply because my nerves were on ultra-​sensitivity just from nervousness about surgery and every wrong thing made me worry. But it was all good.
I will totally consider Dr. Ip in the future for any revisions or whatever. He’s awesome. Melissa was awesome.

Dr. Ip has a great hand, he is quite the artist. Not to mention very handsome. I always have a pleasant experience going to his office in Newport, staff is also great. I highly recommend and couldn’t be happier with my results.

Dr Steven Ip is so great. This is the first doctor i have felt very comfortable with. He does amazing work. He is very reasonably priced.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Ip and his office staff. I had a breast augmentation done in May. My consultation was earlier in the year and the instant I sat down to talk with Dr. Ip, I knew I had found my doctor. He made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was in the best hands. He was very thorough in his explanations about the procedure and the sizing. I told him I wanted to look natural but at the same time look bigger and that is exactly what he did. He recommended a size that would look proportionate to my body and I went with it and was so happy I trusted him! I am beyond satisfied with the results of my surgery! They turned out perfect!
The day of surgery the surgery staff was great, they made me feel very relaxed and calm. I wasn’t even nervous, just very excited. The post-​op visits were great and Dr. Ip always took time to answer any questions I had. Dr. Ip was recommended to me by a friend who also had a breast augmentation done and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing plastic surgeon. He’s simply the best!

I am not an actual patient. I saw Dr. Ip for a breast aug consultation and he is nice. From the looks of his work he is super talented. The office is very regal but the staff doesn’t present the warmest welcome wagon. It’s a very quiet room. I was on time for my consult and the doctor was late, understandably, but did not acknowledge his tardiness. He was thorough in explaining the different profiles of the implants but my entire consult was probably no longer than 10 minutes. He didn’t take measurements and assess me like other doctors have or explain the surgery and recovery processes in detail. It felt very rushed and I didn’t feel like I was acknowledged as an individual. The pricing was not competitive either. I was quoted better from Rodeo Drive.
Despite my disappointing consult, I do believe this is a very talented doctor.
=========================================================
6÷17÷15 Update!
Dr. Ip read my initial review and gave me a personal phone call to follow up with me. He was very genuine and explained to me that they try to pull out all the stops for his customers and I believe that from him as an individual. It makes sense with the majority of the reviews.
I don’t believe this call is appropriate for a new star rating which is why it is not in a separate update.
My initial review was simply my honest opinion and my first impression and Dr. Ip never pressured me to change that :)

First of all I have been a producer for Playboy for 18 years. I have seen thousands of breast augmentations. Unfortunately, most breast augmentations are not picture perfect. In fact some quite disastrous!
Of course, you only have what you were born with to work with. I could do a whole talk show on great, good and bad plastic surgery. It really takes a surgeon that is an artist to create picture perfect breasts. Fortunately because of my position I have been introduced to so many surgeons.
So when it came to my own breast augmentation of course I would choose only the best. The best being Dr. T.Y. Steven Ip. I originally went to him for a consult for implants but when he saw how much breast tissue I had he suggested a breast lift instead. But he wanted me to take time and think about it. My gut feeling was to go with what he suggested. Now with the surgery behind me, I can not express how happy I am. They fit my body so perfectly and yes they are picture perfect. Anyone who wants perfection should just take a look at his book. This review should have been up 3 months ago but I could not find words strong enough for how I was treated so kindly and with so much genuine care by Dr. Ip and Melissa. What more can I say «Dr. Ip is the best a true artist». Remember I’ve seen it all.
Sincerely,
Debbee May

There are no words to describe what Dr. Ip has done for me. I have tried writing this review several times now and every time I think of how this man has changed my life and the way I feel about myself at 57 yrs old… I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and tears stream down this beautiful face he has given back to me. The photo attached is of me at 1 day post modified neck and mid face surgery (the week prior, Dr. Ip performed a Rhinoplasty and Breast Reduction as well and I feel more beautiful now than 20 years ago!
I spent over a year researching and meeting with plastic surgeons in the OC and LA area and knew that this was a life changing decision I was making and I wouldn’t have the opportunity for a «Do Over». I chose Dr. Ip for a multitude of reasons but ultimately it was because the work he performs is «Consistently» very natural looking, he is very knowledgeable and took his time with me patiently answering all of my questions and not only did he NOT try to up sell me, he actually talked me out of some of the procedures the other surgeons were trying to sell me on. With Dr. Ip I felt «Safe» and trusted him, I knew he was the best plastic surgeon out there!
Dr. Ip is a wonderful, humble, amazingly skilled and talented surgeon and a wonderful man. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery and I can’t recommend him high enough to anyone considering plastic surgery. If nothing else… call his office to get a consult with him, you will be so happy you did!
If your thinking about plastic surgery and don’t know where to begin, remember there are no «Do Overs»…please feel free to text /​private message or email me as I spent the better part of a year researching plastic surgeons and am happy to talk to you and show you before and after pictures of my procedures and discuss the other plastic surgeons I met with so you can feel comfortable in making a very big decision.
