What Our Patients Say...
I am a patient of Dr Canoun, and am 100% satisfied with his service. He is very down to earth and straight to the point. He cares about his patients well being and is a very skilled surgeon. I look foward to my next procedure with Dr Canoun, and would recommend him to anyone!

3/7/2019Dr. Canoun is wonderful and his staff are attentive and flexible. I had a breast lift and augmentation last May and I am extremely pleased with the results. Completely natural look and getting better everyday. I highly recommend this physician and I have had a friend have the same procedure by Dr. Canoun after seeing my results.

7/7/2017Hi, I'm Anna and I'm an RN of a 30 year career, 20yrs in ICU. Dr. Canoun is one of the most skilled surgeons you can find. Not only is he highly skilled and certified, but also has great integrity and ethical standards of care. He really cares about you, and wants you to have the body you deserve if at all possible. His staff is wonderful and caring as well. Dr Canoun gave me a breast lift and tummy tuck. I can't tell you how happy I am with the results. There was minimal pain post-surgery and his office staff is wonderful and will check up on you to make sure you're doing well, several times," Thank you Sherry". It's been about 7 months now and I can barely see where he sutured my breasts, It is so smooth to the touch, and so natural looking it's as though I never had surgery at all, but looks about 30y years younger. So if you are still searching, STOP, you won't find anyone better! I highly recommend Dr. Cary Canoun.

12/8/2018I was referred to Dr. Canoun by one of my best friends. She had a breast lift and implants done back in May. And they turned out Amazing! Absolutely perfect! So, I called and got an appointment right away. Right when I met Dr. Canoun, I liked him. He's very laid back and easy going, very right to the point, too. First thing he told me when I showed him my breasts was that I needed a lift. I thought, well he's the professional, better do what the doctor says. So, I had a lift and implants done in October. I nursed three kids and I was ready to have nice boobies again, like when I was young. I'm extremely pleased with my new breasts. They're just right. Not too big and not too small...they look real! I would refer anyone looking to get breast augmentation to go to Dr. Canoun. His assistant Kathy is super sweet and accommodating. She always greeted me with a smile. Even when I went to my first appointment with all three of my daughters. After my procedure, I ended up calling the doctor on his cell, to ensure they were healing appropriately. He had me come in that day so he could examine them. They were healing fine, he taped them up again for me and off I went. Thank you Dr. Canoun! I love my new boobies! You're the best!

1/8/2019My name is Cathleen, I had three procedures done in July by Dr. Canoun. I had a facelift , rhinoplasty and upper eye lids done. It's been almost one month since I had the procedures and I'm almost completely healed, still a little numb where my facelift stitches are, but stitches are barely visible. Everyone says I look great and most importantly natural . If you're thinking about getting any procedures done, go have a consultation with Dr.Canoun, he's friendly, not pushy, and extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and I'll be going back for a redo on my implants...time for some new ones.

8/6/2018Dr. Cary Canoun performed my gel implant breast augmentation over a year ago. I am so happy with the results now that my implants have settled, I just had to write a review. I wanted natural looking results, and when I saw the before and after pictures of Dr. Canoun's website, I knew he was the surgeon for me. At my initial consultation, Dr. Canoun took time to talk to me about the type of implants and the size that would work best with my body. I wanted an hourglass figure and Dr. Canoun advised me to go with a 450 cc implant to balance my hips. On surgery day, Dr. Canoun put me at ease, and the nurses at Aspen were fantastic. Dr. Canoun checked on me after the surgery to make sure I was OK, and gave me his cell number in case I had any questions. It takes a few months for your breast to you settle into their natural shape. 12 months later I am so happy with the results. My breast are very natural looking and Give me the hourglass shape I wanted. I'm so happy I chose Dr. Canoun as my surgeon and I highly recommend him if you are looking for natural gel breast implants.

11/27/2018Great!! I've had 2 procedures done with Dr. Canoun, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. I had my breasts done about 5-6 years ago and still love how they look. I recently had my abdominoplssty still in recovery but I love my results so far. Can't wait to see how it looks once it is fully healed! Pricing is fair and reasonable. Dr. Canoun is very understanding and answers all questions may have in a relatable way.
Kristina S.
6/11/2017Referred by a fellow yelper who said this is the man! After being poorly by Dr. Rex moulton Barrett in Brentwood and his staff, I can't wait to go to a real and genuine dr. I will update after my appointment but five stars now for simplicity and kindness of booking staff
J.T.
6/19/2017Dr Canoun is an incredible surgeon. His work is outstanding and he is very honest. I am very picky and went in for a simple consultation, but after meeting him and reading his reviews I decided to go for it. He fixed some scars I had from my 3 previous C-sections and replaced my breast implants (lifting them as well). I now look at my body in the mirror and smile at the perfection of his work! Dr Canoun is simply the best!
Nicole T.
4/20/2015Since my surgery , tummy tuck , breast lift / and reduction with Dr. Cary Canoun, the results are continually improving daily. I cannot say enough about Dr. Canoun and his skilled hands. I am more confident and look better than ever. I am so pleased with my results and Dr Canoun assures me they will only get better and better. I am only 6 weeks out and my Tummy Tuck Scar is so thin, in six months it will barely be visible. That is all due to his technique , and knowledge of the human body. I cannot thank Dr Canoun and his wonderful staff, I'd highly suggest anyone considering any procedures should certainly see Dr. Canoun.
Janice T.
12/11/2013I'm so glad I chose Dr. Canoun. He is a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. He's personable and his fees are quite low. He did work on my eyes several years ago. Last year, I had some work done on my face and neck. He made sure I knew exactly what he was going to do and why. I knew what to expect. A friend of mine, who is a registered nurse, picked me up from the hospital and took care of me. He immediately told me what a great job Dr. Canoun did and how perfect the stitches were. My friend continued to make similar statements as he monitored my recovery. I get compliments all the time on how beautiful my skin is. It's been over a year now and I'm very, very pleased with the results.

5/29/2014I had a Tummy Tuck & a Breast Left ( no implants) on March 13, 2018. Today I am 6 weeks out from surgery and I am extremely happy with my results! Each day I wake up, I am a little better. I had very little swelling. My tummy is so flat & the scare is so thin & light! My belly button is so cute . My breasts are lifted & full with minimal scar. I am going back to the gym tomorrow. Dr. Canoun is a very kind doctor. His staff are very welcoming, kind, and helpful. He listened to my concerns & questions.I went to 4 consultations in the Bay Area. I wanted to see what each doctor had to say. Dr. Canoun listened to what I wanted & he has awesome pricing. I would recommend Dr. Canoun to anyone thinking about tummy tuck and/or Brest lift!

4/23/2018I saw Dr Canoun today for my one month follow up on upper eyelid and facelift surgery. First, let me say that I did a lot of research on surgeons in the area before selecting him. Dr Canoun and his office staff were very receptive to my questions and pleasant to deal with. I also appreciated that the office vibe was not pretentious. Dr Canoun and his staff are very down-to-earth. The pricing for the work I had done was very reasonable but that is not why I chose Dr Canoun. I found him to be very receptive and open to my first and second visit "just to make sure" (neither of which he charged me for, unlike others). The day of my surgery went very well and I was able to go home that afternoon. Surprisingly, I was able to return to work in 2 weeks with some cover up makeup on the residual bruising on my neck. No one seemed to know I had anything done. No weird stares. The only comment I got was from one co-worker who said that I looked a lot younger after my vacation and she wanted to know where I was, lol. Best vacation I ever took! At one month, there is little evidence except for the incisions at my hairline that are covered by my hair. I expect 6 months to a year before they fade out which is to be expected. Bottom line, Dr Canoun delivered the natural look I wanted. I look like me, seriously, only 10 years (at least) younger. I couldn't be happier. If you're considering a facelift or eyelid surgery, choose Dr Canoun. You won't be sorry.
Christine C.
9/10/2018After visiting 5 highly-regarded plastic surgeons in the East Bay and San Francisco, I chose Dr. Canoun to perform my eyelid and facelift surgery. From the outset, he was completely candid about which procedure I did and didn't need and the total cost. He and his staff were professional and very down to earth. As to the outcome, I was completely confident going into the procedure and I couldn't be happier with the results. It was amazing how little bruising and swelling I had and how quickly I healed. Some of that can be attributed to the Arnica (for bruising) and Bromelain (for swelling) that I took but mostly it was because Dr. Canoun is just that good. My sister the nurse who assisted a plastic surgeon for years came for a visit the week after the surgery and she was very impressed with Dr. Canoun's work. After only 4 weeks, I was getting tons of compliments about how great I looked. As many other reviewers have said, it looks completely natural. When I really want honest opinions, I ask my daughters. They don't mince words when commenting on appearance. They couldn't believe how great I looked.
Molly A.
6/5/2017My wife had her 2nd breast augmentation with Dr Canoun. After one month the work looks fantastic. We are so happy with the results. Furthermore Dr Canoun is a great guy. He was extremely professional and had a very no nonsense way about him. He will have you in and out quickly as he does these surgeries all the time.
Jeremy D.
4/20/2016Dr. Canoun is a patient, caring and knowledgeable surgeon who genuinely wants to see his patients get the best results possible. BA (breast augmentation) consultation was set up with a friendly receptionist in October, sat with Dr. Canoun who listened to my desired expectations and took his time explaining suggestions, scheduled surgery that same day for November 10th. ~_~ Originally had two other consultations scheduled that week but canceled them after meeting with Dr. Canoun. Both wanted to charge a consultation fee and one of the receptionists actually hung up in my face after giving me a frosty attitude when I said no thank you to her offer for a rescheduled appointment. Now one week post op and extremely pleased with the results! Everyone I've encountered during this process has been nothing but kind and supportive. Including the doctor, receptionists and all surgery center staff. Surgery went well without complication, healing has been pretty quick and pain was gone by day three. One of the best decisions I've ever made, I have absolutely no regrets about the procedure or the surgeon I chose to perform it.

11/18/2015I met Dr. Canoun at John Muir E.R. A quarter of my finger got cut off in an accident. Dr. Canoun was the on-call plastic surgeon that night. LUCKY ME! When Dr. Canoun arrived (aprox 1.5 hours after I was admitted) he immediately became my hero. The nursing staff at J.M.forgot about me. I was in alone, in shock, shaking, nauseous and bleeding badly. He immediately got an staff in there to clean me up, give me anti nausea pills, etc. He took excellent care of me. He also held off on skin graft surgery (big $ for him) in hopes that my finger would regenerate. It did! Because of him my finger looks close to normal. I saw him weekly for 2 months. He is SO good at what he does! Funny too. Ask him about the girl with missing finger :-) Go see him!!!

1/29/2014I had breast augmentation surgery, over 35 years ago. About a year ago, my implants ruptured and encapsulated. I had to have them replaced. I live in Marin County, and was referred to a local Plastic Surgeon. It was a horrible experience. Her front office was rude, and the doctor didn't seem to know what she was doing. She told me, removing the implants, was too difficult, and I would not be happy with the results. A friend recommended me to Dr. Canoun. The only problem was, he was too far. After doing research on Dr. Canoun, and not getting anywhere with my local doctor, I decided to bite the bullet, and drive to Walnut Creek. At my first appointment, Dr. Canoun, took the time to go into complete detail regarding the surgery, and answered, all my questions. I felt completely at ease, and comfortable. Even though I live in Marin County, and would have to drive to John Muir hospital, for the surgery, I decided it was worth it, if Dr. Canoun was my doctor. I had the surgery performed, and I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. Canoun listened to what I said, and heard me. He is a kind doctor, with an immense amount of empathy, for his patients. Not to mention his work is beautiful. I highly recommend him.

10/21/2015My husband and I were both considering a facelift. We wanted to look more youthful without looking like we had "work" done! After a great deal of research, including a thorough review of cosmetic surgeons' websites, education, certifications, and reading patient reviews, we were especially impressed by Dr. Canoun's qualifications. We took the first step and scheduled a consultation with him. Immediately upon entering Dr. Canoun's office, we felt welcome and relaxed. Dr. Canoun was so caring and professional, providing a very detailed description of what to expect from the surgery and recovery. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made us both feel completely confident that he was the surgeon for us. I scheduled my surgery before leaving Dr. Canoun's office. In addition to my facelift, we discussed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. My upper eyelids have always been somewhat droopy and the condition seemed to get worse with age. I had no idea that my upper lids could be lifted. Dr. Canoun explained that upper eyelid Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate the sagging. I had my facelift and eyelid surgery 6 months ago. I can't emphasize how comfortable both my husband and I are with Dr. Canoun. I am thrilled with the results and feel that this was a life changing experience for me. Dr. Canoun will be doing my husband's surgery very soon. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Dr. Canoun's entire staff is exceptional.

10/2/2017I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Canoun. After doing some research I decided to set up a consultation with him. The consultation is free which is a plus!. I went to see him about getting a boob lift and implants. My boobs weren't small, but having a kid and gravity took a toll and I was ready to put some life back into them. He was honest and straightforward about what would be best. He knew his stuff! I really got a good feel from him and decided to book the surgery. His prices are very reasonable and he offers a payment plan through get care. I was so indecisive about what size implants I think I wen back to see him like 2 more times. He was patient and helped me through the process. I got the gel implants behind the muscle, which feel very natural. He does surgeries on Tuesdays and I had mine for June 30th. I had made several arrangements with family and work when an emergency came up and I could not go on Tuesday. I was super stressed, but the staff and Dr. Canoun were really accommodating and I was able to come in on that Thursday so I didn't have to rearrange everything. Very cool! I was very nervous about the surgery, but it went great. Swelling and bruising lasted a couple weeks. I went back for a follow up after a week and then again a few more times. I am still healing, but my boobs look great. They are fuller and I don't even need to wear a bra. I am very happy with them! It has been a couple months now and I am finally able to work out like I use to except running. Dr. Canoun says the redness from incisions takes about 3 months to heal. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic surgery. He is awesome!

8/25/2015I just recently had a breast lift & augmentation done by Dr. Canoun. I had gone to several doctors for consultations & am more than happy & fulfilled about choosing to go with Dr. Canoun! He fully educated me before & after which was comforting as well as just really listened to my wants. He asked me several questions to confirm what I wanted & would feel happy about & explained each scenario. Definitely making sure my wants could become a reality with his magic! Previous to my operation I was very insecure with my deflated breast & loose skin which also gave me back and shoulder pains. And besides bringing the beauty back to my breast... my shoulders & back no longer hurt! And my posture is magically improved! I am so happy! I even received several compliments as soon as a week after surgery! I look forward to hearing & seeing successful results from my friends & business partners who all asked for Dr. Canoun's number! Oh & in addition, two other qualities that stuck out to me were that he gives his cell phone number out & was responsive to my calls never leaving me waiting or concerned. The other was something I'll always remember... When I first woke up from surgery I asked him a non relevant question, about my soccer team & he on the spot looked up the answer for me. It has nothing to do with surgery but shows me the extra mile of comfort he offers to his patients.

6/30/2014As a nurse, I work with physicians and have friends who work for plastic surgeons, so I probably have greater insight as to which plastic surgeons have the qualities that the public seeks when looking for the right surgeon- experience/ skill, credentials/certifications, understanding MY needs, compassion, availability, and the cost factor. Hands down, Dr. Canoun got my vote on all accounts. I was pleased with the results of some liposuction and blethroplasty (eyelid surgery), and went back for my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). I cannot tell you how many compliments I have gotten on my new figure, and the two friends I have that work for other plastic surgeons commented "this has to be the best incision (scar) I have ever seen." Thanks to Dr. Canoun's technique, my incision line is barely noticeable, and my belly button has a natural look without any scar, unlike others where you can see a scar which is the telltale sign of plastic surgery. I chuckle as I recall how both friends looked over their shoulder to make sure the surgeon they worked for wasn't walking in to possibly overhear them say another surgeon's work was the best they had seen. One thing I appreciate is Canoun's candor- unlike other surgeon's I consulted with, when I sought his opinion he didn't try to sell me a service if he didn't feel it would enhance my appearance. He always got back to me if I had any questions, and really took the time to explain things to my satisfaction. Also, if your opinion is all other things being equal to Dr. Canoun (skill, credentials, experience, etc.), you'll find his fees are more reasonable than others, so why wouldn't you consider him above all others? The more I see and the more I hear in my line of work, coupled with my experience and satisfaction, I can say with utmost confidence you won't be disappointed if you take your surgical wants and needs to Dr. Canoun. I'm so confident in Dr. Canoun's skills and service, that if anyone reading this has any additional questions, please message me through Yelp and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

10/14/2011I have an upper thin lip and with age its getting thinner. Same for the folds near my nose which are getting deeper, making me look older. In general, I'm pretty conservative when it comes to my face. Visiting Dr Canoun's site and seeing the before and after photos encouraged me. Meeting Dr Canoun made me decide to do it, he made me feel trusting and I didnt hesitate. Now Im very happy with the result. My lip look naturally fuller which gives me a definitely younger look. My folds are smoother so my face looks less tired and refreshed. As a whole, with a minor procedure, I look much younger, and I'm definitely satisfied. I will definitely trust Dr Canoun for an upcoming facelift in few years.

2/25/2011I had a Tummy Tuck & a Breast Left ( no implants) on March 13, 2018. Today I am 6 weeks out from surgery and I am extremely happy with my results! Each day I wake up, I am a little better. I had very little swelling. My tummy is so flat & the scare is so thin & light! My belly button is so cute . My breasts are lifted & full with minimal scar. I am going back to the gym tomorrow. Dr. Canoun is a very kind doctor. His staff are very welcoming, kind, and helpful. He listened to my concerns & questions.I went to 4 consultations in the Bay Area. I wanted to see what each doctor had to say. Dr. Canoun listened to what I wanted & he has awesome pricing. I would recommend Dr. Canoun to anyone thinking about tummy tuck and/or Brest lift!

4/23/2018The Brentwood office is in the John Muir building. It is pleasant and similar to many other doctors offices I've been in. His office in Walnut Creek (I assume it's his home base) has a spa feel to it. Located near Neiman Marcus, Tiffany's, etc. Very calming, music playing, pretty and comfortable furniture, a nice coffee/beverage area. I really enjoy going to this office, just wish it wasn't so far from home! Lol. Upon meeting Dr. Canoun for the first time you may be a little overwhelmed if you're short (I'm 5'1")as he's rather tall (I think at least 6'4"!). But he's very nice and pleasant in my experiences! I am extremely happy with the results of my procedure and he and his office staff have been wonderful throughout the process. I was told to call if I ever had any questions, etc throughout this process and to my delight the doctor/his staff answered each and every time! This is above and beyond my experience with surgeries and doctor's response times. Not once did I ever have to leave a message and wait for a return phone call. I was either answered immediately by the Doctor if it was outside of business hours or by his staff during business hours. I can't express enough how comforting this was during post-op/healing. I've felt cared for the whole time and like I was in the best hands. As for the surgery itself, he did an amazing job. Not only do I feel much better with much less weight hanging off me, I look so much better and feel WAY more confident in my appearance. I can already tell my scars are going to be so minimal because of the delicate work done by Dr. Canoun. If I ever have the need/desire for other procedures if this nature, I will come here. Also, he has a decent amount of photos up on his website of work he's done.
Rebecca F.
1/16/2019I had a rhinoplasty several years ago. In the following years the tip was becoming wider. I went to see two other plastic surgeons but was not comfortable with either of them. A friend referred me to Dr. Canoun. Dr. Canoun recently operated on my nose to fix it. Now my nose looks great and I wish I had known to go to him years ago. I am very happy with the result. I have since referred several of my friends to Dr. Canoun and they are also very happy.
Sheri L.
12/9/2011I have been considering a facelift for a few years but was naturally concerned at 1) people that i know thinking "wow, she looked good before but now looks horrible or 2) complete strangers pass me on the street and think "she has had some BAD plastic surgery". I interviewed 3 different plastic surgeons in the bay area -- some touted to be the best in the area. One surgeon I saw in San Francisco said I didn't need a facelift and wouldn't be happy with the results and that I should do my eyes only -- but I can see myself in the mirror and know I had some natural jowls from aging. But, he agreed to do a facelift and my eyes for $24,000. I decided on Dr. Canoun for several reasons. All of his reviews consistently said "if you want a natural ...." and that is exactly what I wanted ... and what I got. I had a facelift only 13 days ago and could not be happier with the results -- even with swelling and bruising still visible. Truly amazing. The best thing -- it is VERY natural. I had some bruising but read about putting pineapple on the bruises and it helped tremendously. I also iced a LOT and that not only felt good but helped with the swelling. I will probably have swelling for about 6 more weeks but it is very manageable now. Best of all, Dr. Canoun was very reasonable on pricing. Much more reasonable that the surgeons in SF. I would definitely recommend him.
