Patient Testimonials

"Dr. Compoginis is an amazing surgeon who gave me phenomenal results. I've had 2 rounds of major plastic surgery that I needed after a 135 lbs weight loss. His dedication to his patients is truly remarkable. Not only did Dr. Compoginis provide exceptional surgical results, but he also showed great compassion and support throughout the entire process. His expertise and attention to detail made a significant difference in my overall experience. I'm grateful to have found such a skilled and caring surgeon like Dr. Compoginis. His after-care support is top-tier, and it is what I think sets him apart from others. His proficiency in plastic surgery, especially in cases like mine after significant weight loss, is truly commendable. Dr. Compoginis has such an excellent team supporting him, especially with Jo as the office manager. It's clear that the entire staff in Newport is dedicated to providing exceptional care and making the journey as seamless as possible. This level of professionalism and attentiveness further underscores Dr. Compoginis's commitment to his patients' well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding surgical care and results."

-Renee Peralta, Newport Beach, CA, plastic surgery patient. 2 years ago

"Dr. Compoginis was a referral from my Primary Care Physician, and she’s super picky, so that was a great start. When I met Dr. C & his staff (especially Meg & Gabby), they immediately put me at ease. Dr. C has outstanding credentials and a great low-key style. He listens to what you want to accomplish and gives you options to consider. I’m now 9 weeks post op and doing extremely well. I followed all his guidelines, and he was always available for questions and concerns. The whole team is approachable, accessible, and flexible. The results are well above my expectations, and I highly recommend Dr. C. You will be in experienced and compassionate hands and look awesome!"

-Shirley Schumacher, Newport Beach, CA, plastic surgery patient.12 months ago

"He was a great surgeon. I had major surgery on my jaw, and to fix the trauma that happened to my face about 4 months ago. He did a great job, and I'm able to sing and eat food without pain. Sometimes the metal plate makes my face a bit tingly at times, but it's not that bad. I'm grateful to have met and worked with a wonderful surgeon. I woke up a bit faster from the anesthesia, and my nose was all fixed up. He has a great bedside manner."

-Casandra Mullen, Newport Beach, CA, rhinoplasty patient. 2 years ago

"Dr. Compoginis and Claudia were great to work with. They both were easy to ask questions to and gave thorough answers. If I need a plastic surgeon in the future, I would go back to Dr. Compoginis!"

-Catherine Wagner, Newport Beach, CA, plastic surgery patient. 3 years ago

-Stacie Garcia, Newport Beach, CA, plastic surgery patient. 3 years ago

"For any cosmetic surgery, one is nervous, and you do your due diligence to find a surgeon with the best possible qualifications: expertise/skill, experience with the procedure(s), and sensitivity ("does the surgeon really listen to YOU & what YOU want"). For my neck, face, and eyelid procedures, I found Dr. Compoginis reassuringly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and warmly responsive. My results were excellent."
