Eyesthetica - Pasadena Eyelid Surgery

I had lower blepharoplasty surgery (along with the CO2 laser) with Dr. Burnstine in Pasadena, CA, on December 16, 2025, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience or my results. Before even choosing a surgeon, I spent 4-5 months researching what felt like every top lower bleph doctor in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. I read reviews, looked at before-and-after photos, compared techniques, and did my due diligence. After all of that research, I chose Dr. Burnstine, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I could have made. From the very first consultation, Dr. Burnstine was incredibly professional, calm, and thorough. I showed up with three full pages of questions, and he patiently answered every single one. He never rushed me and made sure to ask if I had any other questions before I left (I didn't--he covered everything). A few days later, I thought of some more questions to ask, so I emailed his office, and they emailed me back with his clear, detailed answers. I was also unsure whether I wanted to do CO2 laser along with the lower bleph, which led to--you guessed it--more questions. Once again, Dr. Burnstine answered everything calmly, honestly, and with no pressure whatsoever. I never felt pushed toward anything--just informed and supported. The surgery itself went spectacularly. I hardly felt a thing, and Dr. Burnstine talked me through every single step as he performed the procedure, which made me feel completely at ease. That evening, he personally called to check on me, which really says a lot about the kind of doctor he is. During recovery, I stayed in close contact with him, sending daily progress photos so he could monitor how I was healing. His instructions were very clear, I followed them exactly, and I healed very quickly. I also had two follow-up progress visits, both of which were thorough and reassuring. The office is clean, cool, and hip, and the entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Burnstine is not only an extremely talented surgeon but also genuinely kind, funny, and caring. He makes you feel comfortable, heard, and reassured every step of the way. I am SO glad I chose Dr. Burnstine, and I absolutely LOVE my results. If you're even thinking about lower bleph surgery, go see Dr. Burnstine. After months of research across multiple states, I can say with confidence--you will NOT regret it. On top of everything else, the pricing was exceptionally fair for a surgeon of his caliber. I received top-tier results at a cost I genuinely didn't expect. FANTASTIC RESULTS! FANTASTIC DOCTOR!

My eyelid was in hideous condition and I was able to get the best help and care at Eyesthetica! They were able to take care of my complicated chalazion that was bothering me for months. The office was very clean. The staff is very organized and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Burnstine for all your eyelid needs!

The entire staff is incredibly kind and professional. You feel taken care of and get the right reminders via sms and calls. The clinic is also designed really nicely so it feels luxurious to come here.

It was a inconvenient trip to make for me But I was impressed with Dr Burnstine And am so glad that I made that decision He's the best and his staff is great He was compassionate and professional Im so happy with my new look

Dr Burnstine was extremely professional and very caring. I had eye surgery to correct a long time tearing in my right eye as my tear ducts had closed. He called after I got home to check on how I was getting along. It was easy to communicate w him. His office staff was always so nice and very helpful.

Fantastic experience at Eyesthetica! I went in looking like a gremlin because of my multiple stye's. Dr. Lo patiently answered all my questions and talked me through the procedure. They made me look like a human again!

Dr. Micheal was very attentive with my mother. He was very professional and made the extra effort to make sure my mother felt comfortable. There was one staff member who in particular was very kind to my daughter and mother as well, I did not catch his name unfortunately. It was raining when my daughter and mother went and this staff member went as far as getting an umbrella from his car to make sure my mother would be safe from the rain. I highly recommend this location, they're very kind and friendly.

I can only speak for Dr. Scamstine. On my first consultation visit he managed to convince me that I needed operation on both of my eyes because if he only did it on eye there could be a potential of ptosis on my opposite eye. I had one eye that had very clear symptoms of ptosis the other eye was perfect. Yet I decided to trust this Dr. Scamstine and let him scam my family out of 5 thousand dollars and had to do the procedure twice on the eye that had obvious signs of ptosis because this Scam Artist doesn't know what he's doing and even said it himself when I told him why isn't my eye matching the eye that supposably would be undermined by the new improved ptosis eye. I hope people can understand my anger when he still had the nerve to ask for a 200$ third procedure. For what?! So you can do nothing and possibly even just worsen the issue? I hope someone at Eyesthetica sees this and has a heart to at least apologize for the absolute terrible service, because Scamstine never did. Never in my life have I had such a terrible experience. I know there was never a guarantee but to scam me is something else when you cant even manage to do the job at amateur level so much as a professional. absolutely medicore experience.
