Dr. Kleto did my breast augmentation. At the consultation he said that I would need the teardrop implants along with a breast lift and that he would make my areolas normal size. I expressed concern with being able to breast feed when I had a child and if any of these procedures would affect that. He assured me it wouldn't. (Should have done my own research, but I listened because he's the Dr.) After having my bandages removed, my implants were round and both we completely misshapen.
He did do another surgery, still keeping the round implants, because he said that he never told me he was going to use the teardrop implants. Even though I had another person with me and could back me on him saying so. He did not fix my areolas either surgery. My breast still looked horrible after the second surgery. He never took after photos. That's when you know they know they've done a poor job!
They do not want records of a bad breast aug. Also, I was NOT able to breastfeed. During a lift, they remove the nipple, and they cannot place it back correctly with the milk glands. He lied from the start. I would not recommend him!

I would highly recommend Dr. Kleto! He and his office are all amazing, helpful, kind, and caring! I am extremely happy with my augmentation! Dr. Kleto is so knowledgeable and great at helping explain all stages of the procedure so i was completely worry free and realistic. Its been one year since my procedure and i am very happy! Thanks again Dr. Kleto.

Do not recommend. had breast augmentation a year ago by Dr. Kleto. Within 8 months right breast is hard and misshaped. Have went back to see him several times over this and he tells me that it is "dumb luck" and they are "sisters, not twins". Very upset over this. $6000 and I'm going to have to get them redone and pay full price. very very disappointing!

To preference, I have been a Professional in the Plastic Surgury field for over 20 years. As a Director of Patient Service, I have had the privilege to work for some of the top surgeons in the country, both in Chicago and Las Vegas. In my position as a Patient Coordinator, I have had the opportunity to share with thousands of clients the benefits of Plastic Surgury.
I have also gained an understanding of the importants of Doctor/ Patient relationship and more importantly, professionalism during the patient experience. I have not only been administrating Botox injections for 20+ years, but have also been the recipient of its benefits personally. My experience with Dr Kleto was the most unprofessional incounter I have ever had with a so called surgeon.
From the moment he entered the room, his arrogance and lack of patient interaction was apparent. The first 15 minutes of our time was spent reciting his resume and sharing all his accolades. I briefly had the chance to interject my background, which was of course no interest to him. Upon initial injections, this self proclaimed "Best in the Buisness" wingnut didn't even bother to sterilize the area of injection to remove my make up.
That was discerning to me, as this can cause infection to the injections site. As in some cases, at the injection site blood may exspell from the area, which is normal. What's not normal, is for the doctor to hand you a tissue to wipe it, as opposed to a sterile cotton swab. On my return visit the following month, which only happens because I had already paid for it, his demeanor picked up right where it left off.
I shared with him he had neglected to do the corrugator muscle and just needed a touch up. He replied, "He never has to do touch ups" but reluctantly agreed, as if doing me a huge favor. To which my response was thanks but no thanks and I left. There are way to many qualified surgeons out there to bother with this jerk. If he is not qualified with a needle I would be very hesitant to trust his scalpel. Just Sayin!
