Dr. Ha began his medical practice as a cancer surgeon of the head, neck and face. He became a clinical instructor in head and neck oncological surgery at Stanford University before completing his facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship with Dr. Gaylon E McCollough, a word renowed plastic surgeon.

A decision to have plastic surgery or non-surgical rejuvenation is a very personal and difficult decision. However, when that decision is already made, selecting out a clinic is relatively simple when you consider three important factors: quality of care, result, and patient safety. Highly Artistic Surgery was founded in 2010 by Dr. Ha to respond to this particular concerns.
BOTOX Cosmetic is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults. So you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines. Some patients receiving BOTOX Cosmetic report the injections feel like a pinch.
Highly Artistic Surgery is now offering cosmetic laser and IPL procedures that are safe and very effective. We have waited to offer a lot of these treatments until the technology and medical protocols were developed to the point that they met our standards for medical excellence.
Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation, the Elimination of Vascular and Pigmented Irregularities, including sun damage, skin discoloration, the reduction of small facial blood vessels, the reduction and removal of leg veins, the removal of tattoos and the removal and reduction of wrinkles.These laser/IPL treatments really work and have minimal down time.

At the Highly Artistic Surgery center, we understand that looking your best means feeling your best. We also understand that our patients know the value of a dollar. We don't want you to waste your hard-earned money on skin care products that don't deliver on their promises. That's why Dr. Chi Ha, has carefully selected time-tested and clinically proven skin care products that provide real results for his patients.

Wow! I am blown away by Dr. Ha's beautiful new office. It has such a peaceful vibe and positive energy as soon as you walk in. Its like an art gallery meets plastic surgery/medical spa! Everything is pristine, clean and so beautifully and creatively decorated. Turns out Dr. Ha designed it himself and did most the work. Not surprising as his attention to detail even in his Botox injections speaks to his artistry. He takes his time and the results are always amazing. I would never go anywhere else! The parking is great and the office staff always so friendly.

When I hit 40 I also hit that moment that I felt I was starting to look my age. Something had to be done! My mom with her ever helpful "hmm looks like it time for you to start Botox" referred me to Highly Artistic Surgery as she had been going here for years. Since I started going almost 2 years ago I have has Botox, Erbium laser around my eyes (photo), Juvederm lip filler and joined their monthly membership.

Highly Artistic is a very warm and friendly office. Dr. Ha is extremely personable and takes the time to listen to your wants/needs and recommends the best solution. He is conservative and will do what is in the best interest of his patients not his pocketbook. I have recommended many of my friends to Dr. Ha, all which have been very satisfied continued patients of his. I highly recommend Highly Artistic Surgery Center!

I needed filler for my eyes and Dr HA recommended voluma and got it done in March of this year. My eyes are still hollow. I called them in April and let them know I wasn't happy with the results.. $860 is a lot of money when you don't get result. I don't mind paying but I want to get results. He maybe a surgeon but not a doctor to go to for beauty..

Dr. Ha and his staff are amazing! Each time I visit their office I feel so welcomed, they are all very knowledgeable and have no problem answering any questions I have. I would recommend Highly Artistic Surgery to anybody in the San Diego area! Thank you Dr. Ha and his staff for the best service! And thank you Ashleigh for keeping my skin fresh and rejuvenated.

Dr. Ha is so professional and has a very healthy sense of beauty. I have received fillers from him for years and I am given an honest conversation about the end results.
I end up looking healthy, fresh and youthful without having a fake or dramatic altering of my looks. This Dr. is so informed of the medical world, thus he is impeccable in his work.
He is not going to make any mistakes, when it comes to one's appearance. He is not going to
" overdue " anything just for financial gain. He cares about his clients and his craft. This is clear in just how much tome he spends talking

Dr. Ha and his staff are amazing. I was very very nervous for my procedure. Dr. Ha and his staff answered all of my questions and eased my anxiety. I felt perfectly taken care of and safe the day of my procedure. I was most impressed with the aftercare. Dr. Ha kept me coming in frequently so he could carefully watch my progress. His nurses called to check on me and answered my questions in case I didn't feel something was normal. I feel so lucky to have had zero complications and I am so happy with my results. The level of care Dr. Ha and his staff gave me was top notch. I am a lifelong patient

I originally took my review down because I was offered a refund.... big mistake. I probably should see an attorney. The IPL treatments Dr. Ha performed on me have left me permanently scarred. I was told the skin would be fine and heal because I still had hair follicles. Well, here we are 2 years later and it's as bad as ever if not worse because the skin has scarred!!! Now it's tough and ugly and I can't wear anything that doesn't go up to neck. Just take a look at my pictures if you're considering ANYTHING performed by this "doctor "

Dr. Ha has done it again! During my recent visit I wanted to add a lip filler to my upper lip. If you've had the chance to read my previous review then you have a background on my journey to a well balanced lip appearance. It had been a few years since my initial treatment do to moving overseas. Since I'm in town for a couple of months and I really miss have full lips I scheduled a visit. My first lip filler was Juvederm XC (administered by Dr. Ha) and it lasted almost a year and looked fantastic. At this visit I was offered a new product by Juvederm. It's called Juvéderm Vollure

What a treasure to discover Dr. Ha and Highly Artistic Surgery. As I age, hyper pigmentation is problematic, especially with Asian skin. Our skin type doesn't allow us to use most laser treatments. Dr. Ha recommendedClear and Brilliant laser . After three treatments, my pores are smaller and the sun spots and pigmentation have improved.
During my last visit , the sparkling jewel in the office, Ashleigh recommended I have an IPL which would help the large darken pigmentation covering a good portion of my cheek bones. The sun can cause havoc to my skin ! I have posted a picture only five

Normally this is a 4.5-5 star facility and service. However I was surprised to find the office unwilling to honor the ad they had posted on their website. The ad clearly stated the service was $1500 as a fall special, however when I called they claimed it was a typo and would to no extent honor the offer. This was a service I have been looking forward to, and been on the lookout for such a special by this clinic, since I have my trusty Dr. Ha many times prior. Very disappointed...

I have had two plus years of great experiences and results from Dr. Ha, Ashley and Aned! Starting with Fraxel, followed by Ultherapy and Venus Viva, mix in a little Botox. Dr. Ha and staff have managed to take 5+ years off my face in a non-invasive way with minimal down time. Their prices are competitive and they offer good specials often! I often get complements on how good my skin looks and how young I look for my age! They are professional, friendly and always take as much time as needed answering my questions and concerns! They have a lifetime client in me and I would recommend them to anyone

We love Dr. Ha and his staff. My daughter was having trouble breathing and he found the cause of this problem. She had a broken bone in her nose that he removed. He performed her surgery in the surgical room at his office. His staff made sure my daughter was comfortable at all times. Dr. Ha had great follow up on her treatment. I would highly recommend Highly Artistic Surgery Center on Pomerado Road in Poway for anyone considering Rhinoplasty.

Caring, Compassionate, Brilliant and Honest are just a few words that describe Dr. Ha. He is unbelievably patient and very professional. He takes his time to explain everything he does and goes out of his way to make you feel at ease and comfortable. He loves what he does and is very passionate about his work. What I love the most is he only recommends what you truly need. He is not one that is trying to sell you everything. The office is very modern and beautiful.

Dr. Ha is great. I came in for Dysport and asked for a natural look. He was honest and very helpful. In fact he almost recommended I just use a skin care regimen instead. He guided me towards the correct placement of the product and it is true.....
Dr. Ha is Highly Artistic and I am so glad I went to him and not somewhere else. My goal was realized...I wanted to still have some wrinkles but only soften the look so that I would look refreshed and healthy, not completely transformed. I am so happy with the fresh youthful look he created.

I originally found Dr.Ha through a GroupOn Deal I found for Juvederm.
I certainly did my research on his credentials before scheduling an appointment. I was impressed by his resume and experience (which can be found on his website) before I even stepped foot in his office.
Even without the "deal" from GroupOn, I have become a loyal customer of Dr.Ha who is worth every penny for his amazing results.
I highly recommend joining his e-mail list! I've found better offers via e-mail, through his office, than on LivingSocial or GroupOn.
