This includes the removal of cysts, moles, lumps, such as lipomas, and other skin lesions. Spider veins, pigmented lesions and certain birth marks, such as port wine stains can also be treated by using a laser. Frequently, these procedures can easily be performed in the office and involve little recovery time.
Facial implants augment, reconstruct or rejuvenate your features. Made of specially formed solid, biocompatible materials, implants are available in a wide range of sizes and styles for the chin and cheek.

Dr. Echavez has an amazing eye for aesthetic injectables and surgery. I've worked in the the aesthetic industry for many years and he's my go-to provider in the city. I also value his opinion on surgeries and recommend him to many friends and family. I've had amazing results with him and lucky to have him. Cheers to aging gracefully! Thanks Dr. E!

Don't ruin your life by getting a procedure done with this guy. What a horrible doctor. The fact that he's still even licensed is mind blowing. The deformity you'll have on your face is something you'll live with for a long time so avoid at all costs. There are complaints already with the medical board on this so called doctor. Rude and uncaring.

I've been going to Dr. Echavez for the past 20 or so years and I have to say that I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I've had multiple procedures done at his office. From the removal of broken capillaries, to the removal of moles, tags etc, to Botox and fillers.
He's always professional, never rushed and thoroughly precise.
He has an excellent bedside manner and is painless both in his procedures and on the pocketbook.
I highly recommend his services and I couldn't be happier with the results we've achieved.

Echavez should have his license revoked. The guys got no personality or bedside manners but that's the least of it. He's a butcher like the other review stated. He doesn't care at all about his patients. Just wants a quick one and done. He doesn't give advice either. The monster just basically told me to tell him where to inject and what to do. Are u serious??? You're the doctor!!! He ruined my face and now I have to find another doctor to fix what he's done. Stay away from this guy unless you want your face ruined too. I'm going to report him to the medical

I have been seeing Dr Echavez for over 2.5 years ever since I saw him back in April 2014 when he (perfectly) fixed a Belotero job that a SF dermatologist had placed incorrectly. He is very talented with his work and also very kind. His office assistant Karla is also great. They never fail to call after any visit and they genuinely care about your results, pocketbook, appearance and feelings. I highly recommend.

Dr. Echavez is an honest, REAL, person who works with clients collaboratively, unlike many other surgeons who are in age-denial, superficiality land. He will patiently describe various treatment modalities when you inquire but will never push anything on you. I have been seeing him for around 8 years for Sculpra Aesthetic treatments as I was no longer a good candidate for Restalyne according to another Dr. who referred me to Dr. Echavez, the reason being I needed too many Restalyne treatments to make a difference, and that would make it very costly. Although Sculpra does not last as long as

Dr Echavez is a butcher. He made me sign a clearance form while I was sedated for a forehead lift. He left my forehead with a massive scar that took over 5 years to heal.
Beware of this doctor. There are far better out there. Don't let this happen to you. He refused to correct anything, as I had signed a consent form while sedated.

This review is long over due. Dr. Echavez removed a large, dark, freckle spot off the bridge of my nose. Removing the spot off the bridge part of my nose, requires careful skill. Not easy suturing a tight area like the bridge of my nose! The procedure was done beautifully and painless. Thank you so much! My apologies for this over due review, and again, thank you so much!

Dr. Echavez is fantastic! I was a bit nervous at first about having any cosmetic procedure, but he carefully explained everything and there was no pressure to do it. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. I first did the coolsculpting and was very pleased with the results. I went back to have it done in other areas - all with great results. I also had Dr. Echavez perform blepharoplasty on my droopy eye lids. I was really nervous about that because of the plastic surgery horror stories you hear about. However, when I was checking into the hospital, EVERY one I met at the hospital

I move a lot, so I've gone to a bunch of doctors for botox and fillers over the course of the past 7 years. But I'm so glad I'm back in the bay to come back to Dr. Echavez.
Dr. Echavez brings a level of taste and competence to the whole world of "New Beauty" style self improvement that I haven't seen in any of the other doctors I've had in NYC, LA, or Boston. For example, at a recent trip to his office I asked him about a few of the latest treatments that I read about--and I was prepared to get them if he deemed it worthwhile. He was honest with me, and told

Can't really say enough good about Dr E --- beautiful office of course, but his demenor, expertise and humor makes the visits (and the outcome) among the best in the city.
He gives a great assessment (and an honest one) allowing you voice your opinions and desires, but reflects them with an honest assessment -- a great back and forth -- and you end up with what you need --- very fair pricing...........
There are a lot of choices in the city, but Dr E's the only one I consider.

Good guy who does excellent work. Very competent without being Beverly Hills flashy about it. He can initially come across as being a bit cold, but that's really more a reflection of his low-key nature. Extra points for the fact that his office assistant is very easy on the eyes, too (but won't give me the time of day, probably because I had to put my real age on the paperwork I filled out there).
Highly recommended.
