If you are looking for a professional, modern, relaxing and beautiful spa, Esana is the place to go! I have had nothing but excellent experiences here.

I would recommend this place to everyone! If i was able to rate 20 stars i would, the experience and vibes are unmatched.

5’4” and 135lbs from a 32A (maybe B) to a 34D to DD
At 38 years old…after 4 children…. Significant weight-loss and prior tummy tuck I finally decided to get my breasts done. I had Significant drooping and sagging (effects of weight loss and breastfeeding neither of which I regret). I went with the ideal implant because it made me feel safer that it was saline but had the more natural feel. I ended Up with 540cc along with a full lift. I was afraid of losing nipple sensation but honestly, I’m more sensitive even now a year later than ever. I will Say for those of you considering which to go with…. Larger sizes like this don’t seem to feel quite as natural and if that’s important to you…. You may want to lean toward a silicone option. Just my opinion.
Dr Pan and her staff were so warm helpful and patient. I did have a minor complication, but it was my body doing its thing and healing. I will only see them in the future I will never go elsewhere.

I have been wanting a breast augmentation since i was 23. I was always barely a cup and very self-conscious of my chest. I knew a couple people that went to Dr. Pan and their results were amazing so i decided to book with her! The entire process was seamless, and recovery has been amazing! I am 5 ‘8 155lbs and ended up going with 350cc and 325cc. I am very muscular and do CrossFit. Now I do love my boobs however I’m feeling like they are too small for my frame. I know i am only 4 weeks post op but feeling like the size is off. Photos uploaded

Dr Pan is amazing she makes you feel comfortable and she is compassionate. She is extremely attentive and easy to talk and I felt comfortable asking her questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have any surgery. Her and her staff call and check in on you after surgery and are only a phone call or text message away if you have any issues or concerns.
