Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Misshapen breasts
Not good. Doesn’t listen. Staff told me my square ish breasts were still relaxing after 3 months. They told me it was part of the process. They said this repeatedly. I wish I saw the real reviews before having my surgery.

Save yourself
Terrible experience! Do not go here! I’ll be suing, & people have already sued for an nda that illegally restricted people from giving bad reviews, keeping consumers from knowing what an awful place this is. I had loose skin from weight loss & wanted implants to fill in my chest. He tried to press for the most expensive option in everything, saying I needed a lift no matter what. I declined. He rushed the procedure, I ended up with lots of pain on the right side. A few months in, it was obviously falling into the right armpit. He refuses to admit it was his mistake. 10 months later, it has shifted so much I look disfigured. Rather than own up to the mistake & fix it for free, they are trying to charge me 2500 dollars more. For those who haven’t gone here, save yourself the emotional distress, money, & time and find a better doctor.UPDATES on Real Self and Google Reviews

I have seen Dr. Allegra sever times over the years starting when I was 40 to take out my tonsils and have been so much healthier over the years. I returned to have some cosmetic work done and have recommended many of my friends for work. A+ grade every time. I don't make recommendations lightly especially doctors but Dr.Allega really knows what he is doing. I've had a facelift and nose job and Im very happy with the work done.

I'd thought about having work done for many years but never trusted any of the previous surgeons I'd meet with. From the first consultation with Dr Allegra I knew he was professional and extremely talented. He was confident in what I wanted to do and answered all my questions, he took the fear of surgery away completely. I have to let everyone know whether you want a small implant done or multiple areas done, Dr Allegras wide breath of experience and longevity in his industry makes him the perfect plastic surgeon for you too. I absolutely loved the bedside manner and after care. No matter how many questions I had, Dr Allegra answered them all in a very timely manner, he is a rare gem in an industry that can make you feel ignorant and over-concerned, any surgery is a big decision and Dr Allegra treats each patient with respect and patience.

Dr. Allegra performed a face lift, brow lift, and a lower eye lift. The results are amazing, I feel younger and relaxed! People could even not tell a week after surgery that I had the procedure done. Dr. Allegra made me feel at ease and procedure went smoothly and easily.

In 2000, I was working for a young company and was looking tired and old. I realized a little cosmetic surgery may help with a fresh new look. I went to NW Face and met with Dr Allegra. We discussed several options. I first went with a brow lift to open up my eyes. The tired look was gone. My friends thought that because I changed my hairstyle I looked younger. Years later I went back to see Dr. Allegra. I scheduled a face-lift. I am 76 and look in my 50ies I am still working and feeling younger then my age. Such a good feeling. I have recommended many of my friends to see Dr Allegra and they have been very happy they did. My best friend had a tummy tuck, 3 years after she had her children. Another good friend had breast surgery. We are all so pleased with our decision to go with Dr Allegra. The staff at NW Face is so caring, takes the best care of you before and after surgery. I recommend a consult with Dr Allegra if you are considering a fresh new look.

A couple years ago I realized I did not smell food properly. A friend recommended I see Dr. Ludwig Allegra for sinus problems. He did a CT Scan and found I had a lot of blocked sinus passages. While under sedation for sinus surgery I added a face-lift. Both went well. Recovery was easy – one week, no pain. I look younger and can smell again. Wonderful staff before, during and after surgery – top drawer. I highly recommend Dr. Allegra for both of these procedures at NW Face.

I found Dr Allegra to be an extremely good listener. He took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. We came up with a plan that best suited my needs. The results are amazing. My first procedure was a brow lift and 10 yrs later I am still thrilled. My second procedure was a breast reduction and lift. My husband and I are both thrilled!

I had a breast reduction in the 80’s, and after 30 years, I was left with misshapen deflated breasts. I have wanted a better shape for years, but have never found a surgeon I felt I could trust. As an anesthesia provider for almost 15 years, I have seen it all, and I did my homework before deciding to approach Dr Allegra to perform a breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy). I absolutely have no words to express just how happy I am with the results, worth every penny spent. Dr Allegra is, in my opinion, extremely talented and did one of the best breast lifts on me that I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen hundreds of them. As for the entire experience, the entire staff at northwest face and body is wonderful, and they go above and beyond the norm to guarantee an amazing experience for their patients. Highly recommend without reservation.

I am not a 'reviewer' normally, but I can't speak highly enough about Dr Allegra and his office staff. Myself, husband and 2 teen daughters have all greatly benefited from Dr Allegra's expertise and superb surgery skills. All 4 of us have had different conditions he has worked with us on snoring, sleep apnea, sinus surgery - fixing broken noses from fast softballs - and not only were we healed up 100% but the follow up, office staff (Peggy is awesome!), and personal attention from Dr Allegra are the best I have ever encountered from ANY physician. Highly recommend !

Amazing Person and Professional!! I feel lucky that I had the opportunity to meet Dr Allegra and have procedures done with the most talented and passionate Professional. Dr Allegra is very knowledgeable and very particular with his procedures keeping the incisions very small. The incisions blend perfectly to the skin tone that you CAN’T see it. 100% Satisfied.

Dr. Allegra and his staff are wonderful. They were very professional and caring. I had a mini face lift, brow and neck lift. I couldn't be happier with the results. It looks very natural and I feel really satisfied with the results. I was able to go back to work in 2 weeks just like they said and no one knew. However I did get several compliments on how youthful I was looking. I keep hearing that my skin looks beautiful. One of my daughters said, "mom what are you doing differently? I can't put
