Dr. Osita ObiPatient Reviews

In my 40s after breastfeeding, I had a mastopexy with fat transfer at Athenix, and it was the best decision ever! Dr. Obi is incredibly talented, kind, and exceeded my expectations—my results are perfect and recovery has been smooth. The team, especially Megan, Jasmine, and Ursula, made the process seamless. I’m beyond grateful and highly recommend Dr. Obi!

I had a tummy tuck, lipo, and implant removal with Dr. Obi at Athenix Pasadena, followed by a fat transfer for a natural look. From my first visit, the staff made me feel welcomed and cared for—Jasmine, Megan, and the nurses were amazing. Dr. Obi did a perfect job, and I feel safe, supported, and thrilled with my results. I highly recommend him and the Athenix team!

I had my mommy makeover with Dr. Obi and couldn’t be happier! The experience has been amazing and surprisingly painless. He explained everything thoroughly, made me feel safe, and even personally called to answer my questions. The Athenix team was warm and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Obi for anyone considering a mommy makeover or other procedure!
