Reviews for Scottsdale, AZ Plastic Surgeon James Nachbar, MD, FACS Face Procedures
"Breast Lift / Mastopexy, Breast Implant Revision / Exchange, Lip Enhancement - Dr Nachbar is extremely detail oriented and thorough. His surgeon skills are unrivaled. I’ve had 3 extremely successful surgeries with tremendous results."
"Meticulous and Dedicated Surgeon - Dr. Nachbar exceeded all my expectations. I had a rhinoplasty about a week ago and despite all the swelling my nose already looks amazing. What really impressed me about this doctor was his dedication. I had a few concerns the day after my surgery, which was a Saturday, and called him about 10 times. He answered each and every call and was patient and kind each time. He even met me at his office that same day to take a look at what was concerning me. I will be going with Dr. Nachbar for any future procedures."
"Wow just wow... I cannot express how amazing this doctor is. I had a rhinoplasty done and the results are beyond my expectations. He truly is an artist and an outstanding doctor who puts patient well-being and care above all other things. I ended up having some issues the day after surgery, which was a Saturday, and he answered every single call no matter the time and was always patient and kind. He met me at his office with no notice that day to address my concerns and made sure I received the care I needed. I wish he could be my doctor for everything because I've never had one that cared this much!"
"Rhinoplasty - I went to several rhinoplasty consultations before Dr. Nachbar. What impressed me was that the consultation was free, with the actual surgeon and you get computer generated images of what your results could be. I know that these images are not exact but I think it helps the surgeon get a better idea of what your expectations are. I also appreciated that my appt started on time and everyone was professional and kind."
"Face Lift, Eyelid Surgery - The quality of care was top notch and Dr. Nachbar was so nice to work with and explained everything very well and made himself available if I needed him after surgery"

I had a very realistic view of what my results would be, taking into consideration my age and weight, etc., I feel that Dr. Nachbar met those expectations. He answered my questions honestly and if I wasn't happy with something, he offered a solution. The staff was always very professional, friendly and accommodating.

"Breast Reduction, Breast Lift, Rhinoplasty - He is highly skilled surgeon, in 2015 he performed a breast reduction and breast lift. I was so very happy with the result and treatment I received from his staff and Doctor as well. In 2022 I fell and broke my nose , it was very traumatic as I had had 8 reconstructive surgeries previously. I was physically hurt but the emotional pain was so much greater. My fear was that my nose could not be repaired after so many surgeries. Doctor quickly scheduled me for surgery and the compassion from all of his staff was incredible . The were the glue that held me together through this very difficult time. My surgical result was fabulous and the care I received finest. He is not only a remarkably skilled surgeon but a truly kind and compassionate man. Everyone who works with him is competent kind and intelligent , a winning combination. My thanks to you all."

The passion the team has to produce a positive result comes through loud and clear."
"If I could give 6 stares I would , Dr. Nachbar did my breast reduction and lift in 2015. I chose him due to his impeccable reputation and revision capabilities. I was thrilled with the outcome. Most recently I fell and broke my nose unfortunately I had 8 reconstruction surgeries many year ago. Doctor's office staff understood my total panic and fear . Dr. Nachbar not only agreed to do my surgery but scheduled me within two weeks from the date of the fall. His entire office team were so compassionate and kind and did all they could to accommodate and support me. My surgical outcome was wonderful and I received the BEST OF CARE from beginning to end. It is rare combination in todays time to fine a Top notch surgeon with a great team of truly compassion people who go the extra mile . NEVER FORGET THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE.

"Free at Last! No More Lip Prison! - Over a decade ago I had Gortex implant surgery in Los Angles and have hated the hardness of the implant. I actually hated my lips for years! I finally decided to have my implants removed and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Nachbar. My results are wonderful! Soft lips again! My mouth is no longer in a prison! The attention to detail and the results are excellent. If you are seeking a highly skilled surgeon that also has an artistic eye then go to Dr. Nachbar. His entire staff are fantastic. Thank you!"

"I sought Dr. Nachbar for a rhinoplasty; I had a deviated septum that prevented me from breathing properly, and a large bump that I disliked. Dr. Nachbar was able to correct my problem, and because he's very talented, he managed to give me a very natural nose that compliments my face. I am now able to breath better and I have surely regained my confidence. Overall, surgery was a breeze! I experience very minimal pain afterwards; I rested assured that if anything came up, Dr. Nachbar would just be a ring away. I am very happy with the outcome, and I'm glad I chose Dr. Nachbar, his years of experience and his devotion to his profession gave me confidence I was in good hands, and his staff are all well informed of the procedures. Very resourceful and kind!"

"Having had a revision rhinoplasty and being ecstatic with the results I am returning for a mini face lift! Dr. Nachbar is a top notch surgeon that seeks not only perfection but your satisfaction. Easy access office, easy parking, no consultation fee and friendly staff. You’re in great hands here."
"Rhinoplasty - My outcome is the most important experience. Everything else is secondary. Dr. Nachbar is a perfectionist and my outcome is beyond my expectations. I highly recommend!"
"Face Lift - I'v had previous procedures with 2 other plastic surgeons and have never had the surgeon do the whole first consult for beginnig to end, usually you only see him briefly after you explain to the Nurse about what you want, I've never had the Dr take the before pictures! Dr Nachbar makes you feel so comfortable and doesn't sugar coat or make promises that aren't realistic just to get your money. I've also never stayed over night in a hospital, one procedure I had was a tummy tuck with drains and I went home after the surgery but it would have been nice to have a overbite stay with nursing keeping an eye on you. I've also never had the surgeon do the injectables or use a block. I've already shared his info with many people!I've already shared his information"
"Rhinoplasty - Friendly staff, brilliant surgeon."
"Face Lift - Dr. Nachbar has performed several plastic surgeries for me .He is the the rock-star of plastic surgeons - he is the best of the best and the creme-de-la-creme on a scale of 1 to 10 he is a thousand, I also give the same grades to his staff - they are wonderful and treat me like family every time I walk in the doorIt would be difficult for me to pick one thing that stands out because all of it stands out - the best quality of surgery, the finest doctor , the finest staff, the finest office. the finest surgical center... they are also the best of the best."

And to your staff too especially Sharon whom I love and trust, thanks!"
"16 years ago I had rhinoplasty and breast augmentation (french cut) by Dr. Nachbar. I cannot possibly say enough good about him. I could not be happier with the results. 16 years later my breasts are still as beautiful as when they were first done (after healing.) He made me feel comfortable and at ease. I was also very happy to learn he has familiarity with transwomen and the specific needs related to that. I don't even know what to say about my nose. It looks natural, not at all like I've had work done. I asked him for a small imperfection in it so that it would look "real" and he managed to get one that looked perfectly natural and still left me looking very good. I've never regretted my choice of doctors even once and I've never seen a breast augmentation, especially on a transwoman, that I thought compared to his work. He's is a professional and he really listened to me. Thank you very much Dr. Nachbar you completely changed my life for the better."

"Neck Lift - Dr. Nachbar is very caring, scientific and thoughtful. His office staff are young, attractive smart young women who are very capable. The office is beautiful, comfortable and the entire atmosphere is quietand professional. You do not see the other patients, they are very efficient. Dr. Nachbar has performed several procedures and I have recommended him to friends, one of whom had a procedure as well.Super high ratings!"
"It has been a little over a month now since I had my upper and lower eyelids done (Quad Blepharoplasty) and I am looking fantastic! Sure, like everyone warned me, the first days after surgery were the absolute worst but as each day went by, the swelling and bruises kept diminishing and my Surgeon's fine work was shining through. My life returned to almost normal after a week. I am now not using any kind of concealer around my eyes. My husband and family have all complimented my eyes and say they've noticed a big difference. At last, my bags that I tried to get rid of are gone and I look younger. Sure, I will continue to do my facial exercises to keep the rest of my face firm, but for me, only surgery was the remedy for my bags and saggy eyelids. I want to suggest wearing large eye glasses to cook, to prevent any kind of splashing of oil around your eyes, to prevent tight blinking. I am completely satisfied with Dr. Nachbar and highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery. Additionally, his whole staff is very nice and friendly. I am so glad I steered away from some previous considerations and found this talented, highly experienced, honest and truly kind Surgeon. Thank you Dr. Nachbar!"
"I searched high and low for a great Plastic Surgeon and finally I found Dr. James M. Nachbar, MD, FACS. He is the most honest, highly credentialed and most responsible and talented Doc out there. I have scheduled my appointment for my eyelids and I can't begin to describe how excited I am. I trust Dr Nachbar completely and look forward to seeing my beautiful eyes."

"Rhinoplasty - He did an amazing job, I was back to work in a week, and he's very honest"
"Eyelid Surgery - I had bruising and scars that lasted longer than I had expected. However, the doctor could not change that. They can only go away with time.

"Amazing Breast Aug & Rhinoplasty. Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Nachbar performed an open rhinoplasty and breast aug 450cc silicone implants and I could not be happier. I had consulted with other well known Scottsdale area doctors and I knew that the moment I met Dr. Nachbar that he was the one.

"Mother of One - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Nachbar has been great in my opinion. I have been seeing him for botox and fillers (lips) for more than a few years. Originally went in for breast revision, decided not to for now (was going to exchange sizes to smaller). However, have decided to do regular in office facial treatments. (botox, juvaderm). Very comfortable with Dr NaAmbar, treating my face. He will also do a dental..."
"Face Lift - Encouragement from the nurse prior to surgery as I was scared to death; calming me down without making empty promises. Dr nachbar was very reassuring explaining I would be pleased with the results and I am. Everyone at the Office makes you feel like they are very happy for you. They all really want you to be pleased with the results and they encourage you as well as compliment your outcome. Nice office to go into and you are never in the waiting room long as they are very cautious with your privacy rights. Great experience. I recommend dr nachbar and his staff to everyone, especially those who are apprehensive. Dr. Nachbar is an extraordinary cosmetic surgeon."
