  I'm not a fan of writing reviews but I want to say, thank you doctor!It's already a year and a half since I had revision rhinoplasty and mammoplasty (scarless mammoplasty) surgeries by Dr. Calvert.I had been looking for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon for a long time and I had many consultations with prominent Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeons before I met Dr. Calvert. Many of them did not take up my case, as my case turned out to be a difficult for them.I was very blessed I met Dr. Calvert!Dr. Calvert has a realistic approach, he does not provide unrealistic expectations but provides satisfaction through his knowledge and hard work.I highly recommend Dr.Calvert!

  Dr. Calvert is the best in the business. The only one I'd recommend for rhinoplasty. A long journey to return to the symmetry I had before a rhinoplasty dismantled that when I was younger. I could not find a surgeon with the precision and talent to do a revision that resulted in anything worth doing. In some cases things got progressively worse. We made a little progress on the third round before finding Dr. Calvert who was the only surgeon qualified to do what it needed the whole time which was a rib graft. He listened to my request to not really change what I liked but rather to refine the tip and make it natural and symmetrical. I wanted to look like myself prior to any surgeries. This is the most challenging type of rhinoplasty - a secondary revision. We went for it. The result was worth every penny. I came out of surgery and he told me, "that will be your last surgery" and he was right. Immensely grateful to him.

  Dr Calvert is hands down the best plastic surgeon! If I could leave him ten stars I would. If you are considering having anything done by him just go for a consultation and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I wish I would have found him sooner because now I will never go anywhere else!

  Dr. Jay Calvert did my revision breast augmentation and primary rhinoplasty. The results are amazing! Thank you Dr. Jay Calvert! I first reached out to Dr. Jay Calvert a few years ago when I found out I needed a revision breast augmentation to replace my old textured implants. After the FaceTime consultation I knew he understood exactly what I wanted and what my goal for the surgery was. My breast revision was a bit more complex and Dr. Jay Calvert went above and beyond with his skills to create a beautiful result. The new breasts are more symmetrical, the appearance of the scar is improved and I now have a beautiful cleavage even without a bra. I love the the new look so much, it's a dream come true!For the rhinoplasty I had a few consultations with different surgeons over the years as it was something I thought about for a long time but wasn't ready to commit until I saw Dr. Calvert's work and had a consultation with him. I knew he was the one I could trust to get the best possible result. His dedication, talent and passion for his work really stands out.I'm glad I went to the best and got it right the first time. The result is exactly what I wanted, which is a nose that still looks like me and has some of the original characteristics but prettier. In real life no one noticed I had a nose job. A few friends said I look refreshed/younger but couldn't tell why. As an international patient I had an incredible experience and Dr. Jay Calvert and the team provided excellent communication and support the entire time. Thank you Jenny, Michelle and everyone at the office for being so caring.

  I really wanted to love my results, but I'm sad to say that a few years later, I have serious regrets. My nose was beautiful at first but after about a year I developed growths on the tip that impacted the look and feel. Dr. Calvert was nice enough to do a revision under local anesthesia free of charge, but unfortunately they came back. It sucks having to live with an outcome I wasn't expecting. The growths (called "bossae") are noticeable in person and create ugly shadows in pictures.My other regret is the size of my implants. I asked Dr. Calvert for a proportional look, and he delivered in the sense that my bust and hip measurements are almost identical. Great for an hourglass look -- terrible for clothes shopping. I thought the surgery would give me the freedom to wear whatever I wanted; instead, I have trouble finding clothes that are small enough in the waist but accommodate my bust. Every time a dress doesn't zip up past the waist, it's a clear reminder that the implants are far too big. Huge bummer.

  Dr Calvert is a god send for people who like myself who needed revision rhinoplasty due to a hack job by a previous Dr. I had searched and searched and did many consults before finding him. I then flew 5 hours for a consultation and I knew immediately he would be the one I would end up going with. His demeanor and compassion are unmatched. Like he actually cares about his patients and their results and he is 100% honest about realistic expectations..I ended up having surgery with him in Feb.. Again before surgery he reminded me that revisions were tougher cases and whatever the outcome he wouldn’t leave me hi and dry but he was confident he could make my nose look better and his confidence brought confidence within myself. He chose to use rib cartilage in my nose and even though that made me nervous I knew I was going to go with whatever he suggested..Immediately after the cast was removed even with all of the swelling I could see 100% improvement and knew that it would only get better.. I promised not to be one of those crazy patients and trust the process.. I will say I pretty much kept my word because he had already informed me it would take time and he was right. Dr Calvert stayed in constant contact with me, here we are 10 months later and he still replies to my texts.. I seen him for several follow up appointments and he and his staff are always so welcoming..I will be seeing him again in February due to some scar tissue that formed which is common with rhinoplasty, especially revisions and no fault of the Dr. I am very much excited about my appointment as it will only get better..Thank you Dr Calvert!!!!- Jordyn

  Using an alias, Botched again! I had my 3rd & 4th Rhinoplasty with Calvert and he did a terrible job. As if my nose wasn't butchered enough the previous 2 times, he significantly made my breathing worse by giving me an 'Empty Nose Syndrome', making my nose much smaller, creating asymmetry for my bridge, side profiles and nostrils. And of course, giving me an upturned tip which looks revolting. This just goes to show that any incompetent clown can do a surgery, but doing it right is hardly existent.

Also my right side of the nose was collapsed and he couldn't even fix it by putting in multiple grafts.

  Dr. Calvert did my implants about 9 years ago- I am coming up on 10 years next year and I can’t believe it! From day 1 everyone has said they are the best they have ever seen and ever felt! 10 years later I can 10000% say it was beyond worth it and I wouldn’t have gone to ANYONE else. He gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and they have held up BEYOND amazing these last 10 years. I definitely feel like I could easily go another 5-10 years with them- easily!!! I would ONLY trust myself in the hands of Dr. Calvert. He is ridiculously METICULOUS and treats his breast augmentations like his rhinoplasties - with exact precision and fine detail. Basically he’s the BEST! I don’t know how he does it all but he is a BLESSING!!!! My nose is next :)

  I have been in the aesthetics industry for 15 years and have plastic surgeon relationships around the country. When I chose to undergo a revision rhinoplasty, I did not make this decision lightly. After 11 consultations and speaking with industry colleagues, Dr. Calvert came out on top due to his training and dedication to complicated revisions. He is in an elite group of revision rhinoplasty specialists and is THE guy to whom his peers refer complex cases. When he is not performing surgeries, Dr. Calvert is lecturing around the globe. This speaks volumes and why he is the master of his craft. I could not be happier with the results; my revision rhinoplasty was done with absolute precision. I now have the best nose I could imagine, and it has improved my overall well-being. Dr. Calvert executed my case exactly how he described in my consultation (honest and detailed), and the recovery process has been on target. I sing his praises to anyone that will listen because he is that good at what he does. His staff deserves accolades as they are professional, knowledgable, and kind. I enjoyed every time I went to the office to chat with the team. Thank you, Dr. Calvert, for your dedication to your craft, there is no one better!

  Google this surgeon before letting him touch you!!!!! I am in shock!!! I just learned about his history today when he dropped me as a client. I started to research him and oh my GOD I am stunned. OMG. I had no idea!!! There are YEARS of lawsuits and accusations against him. I am not sure what is true, but now I don't feel like I am the only one he's hurt & messed up on. I am devastated. I cannot believe what happened to me either. Dr. Calvert has cancelled my appointment and dropped me as a patient after I requested my medical records to figure out what's wrong with me. My nose has been BLEEDING for unknown reasoning for 3 months now. There is also an UNKNOWN piece of plastic sticking out inside of my nose now too. I have no idea what it is and I wanted to ask at my upcoming appointment. I have no health insurance because of Covid and my financial situation...so all I can see is Dr. Calvert. He's been out of town, so I've been waiting WEEKS while bleeding. My mom is very concerned about my bleeding and this unknown plastic, so she asked me to request my medical records so she can look at them since she doesn't live in LA & was trying to help me. After requesting my medical records to try to figure out what happened to my face and what this weird plastic thing that's sticking out is.... Dr. Calvert's staff told me today I was told today he has "discharged" me as a patient. Doctor Calvert operated on me 3-4 times (I don't even remember cuz it was so many) and we could still never get my nose right. There is an unknown object in it and a YEAR after my last operation with him I am still bleeding, but this time there's a weird object sticking out inside now. I desperately wish for help and wish for answers, but today I was dropped as a patient. His staff will not explain to me why and nobody will get on the phone with me. I wish Dr. Calvert would call me directly and tell me what happened, why I am continuously bleeding, and what the weird object is in my face. I only gave consent to put my own rib cartilage in my nose, so I have no clue what is sticking out. It feels like a strange pointy object. I wish Dr. Calvert would see me and be honest with me about what he's done. I need help. I am devastated. And now I have no where to turn. I am no longer a patient of his and he refused to see me or help me once there were serious complications with his work on my face. This office ruined my face and broke my heart. I took this whole thing very personal, I thought Dr. Calvert was my friend. But he doesn't care about his patients, if he did, he would've booked to see me immediately....not let me bleed for weeks and then dropped me as a patient when I asked for answers. I'm in awe. He seemed so genuine and kind. I thought he was my friend beyond just surgeries. I never thought he'd drop me, dismiss my concerns, or ignore me. - Natalie Kailey

  in 2007 dr. Calvert did breast implants on me. I was happy with his work and we decided to schedule a face/neck lift. As customary I did all my pre op work and paid the over$17000.00 fee. Unfortunately , when I arrived to the OR and was put under, Dr. Calvert decided not to do my surgery. I do not know why? However, I woke up with bandages on my face and was taken to after care (which I paid an extra). I was not told for 7-10? days after my bandages were removed that the surgery was not done...never receiving a refund. I became very depressed and was unable to function normally as I was also ending my 22 year marriage ,my family was being torn apart my children relocated and losing our home to the housing crisis all at the same time. I fully trusted Dr. Calvert and never questioned any of his decisions. I just recently I discovered 1 of my implants ruptured and I went back to DR. Calvert to have the implants redone. I assumed I would be able to apply my refund from the facelift (that I never received) to my new breast implants however, when Dr. Calvert quoted me $23,000 for the surgery.(almost 3 x higher than any other plastic surgeon in Newport Beach) I decided against it. Dr. Calvert and I continued to communicate via email leading me to believe he was trying to find a solution to my refund issue . Dr. Calvert informed me he no longer had any of my records. ..and obviously did not believe me because of the time factor. I did not know that surgeons are only required to keep records for7 years. I tried to remind Dr. Calvert of every single detail I could possibly remember, so he could go back and fact check triggering his memory and know I was being completely honest, but without luck. Dr. Calvert also performed a hernia repair on me that was followed by post op complications. Dr. Calvert.s wife use to work in his front office on Thursdays . When I called on a Thursday to inform Dr. Calvert of my swelling and pain from my hernia repair, his wife never gave him the message. Eventually I needed to have my hernia repair redone by a different surgeon. Still trying to jog his memory, after I reminded Dr. Calvert of this incident he decided "my entire story was fabricated" and stopped all communication with me and told me to do the same. I was able to recover medical records documenting the date of my (attempted) surgery and showing proof, but Dr. Calvert will have nothing to do with me. I feel Dr. Calvert is acting unprofessionally and unethically. I also question Dr. Calvert's due diligence and HIS responsibility to follow up with this issue (never issuing a refund) and finding a resolution. I take responsibility for the time factor, not knowing about the 7 year record limit and also experiencing life changing issues at the same time (we are all human)I am only asking to be treated fairly, the same way anyone expects be treated in this situation. Just because dr. Calvert does not have access to his records, it should not prevent him from doing the right thing.

  Dr. Calvert is an amazing surgeon and I am so thankful I chose him to do my revision rhinoplasty one year ago. The experience from beginning to end was wonderful and I could not be more pleased and grateful with the result. His staff is also wonderful. They are friendly and have been very helpful every step of the way from pre op, to the day of surgery, to post op, and even now one year later. Dr. Calvert listens and understands his patients. He is extremely skilled and experienced in what he does. There is no one better, I've done the research. Several other plastic surgeons told me that my case was extremely difficult and challenging due to my skin type and previous surgery and they did not feel comfortable operating on me. I was then referred to Dr. Calvert. Not only is he an amazing surgeon but also an artist. He is confident in what he does and has the experience which gave me great reassurance. What he did for me was life changing and I am so thankful. I've recommended him to friends and family already and will continue to recommend him without any hesitation. Thank you, Dr. Calvert!

  If I could give Dr. Calvert 10 stars I would! He was the most incredible surgeon I could of ever asked for. When I went in for a consultation for a primary Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty his office was very kind and attentive, the staff answered all of my questions very quickly. After Dr. Calvert evaluated my nose he gave me his honest opinion on a game plan that didn't add any unnecessary extra procedures just so he can make more money. Dr. Calvert really cared about me, and wanted to fix my severely deviated septum. He asked me if I would want to do anything cosmetic wise to my nose which I greatly appreciated because most doctors just assumed I wanted to change the look of my nose completely. I told Dr. Calvert I wanted to look like myself still and that is exactly what he did. I also really resonated with the fact that Dr. Calvert was open to doing little revision surgeries (for free) after my primary rhinoplasty just in case my nose, on its own, moved in the future. The surgery process was very easy and calm. All of the staff made sure I was very comfortable the entire time and I was out in just a few hours. Following the days after surgery, Dr. Calvert called me multiple times to make sure I was okay and I visited his office regularly for check ups. My heeling was almost painless and after following his directions my swelling reduced immensely in the first couple of weeks. It has been a year since my surgery and I cannot be more happy with my new nose. Dr. Calvert was able to give me my confidence back and I can't thank him enough!

  I am so grateful to Dr. Jay Calvert! I had rhinoplasty done by another doctor and experienced some set backs. Feeling defeated and ignored by my surgeon, I consulted with Dr. Calvert. His quick response saved my nose from further decline. He recommended nose cones to help straighten out the columella and improve the shape of the nostrils. It worked! I wasn’t even his patient but the care he showed me was incredible. I am so happy he was there to help me. Thank you x 10 million!
