Nicole is originally from Thousand Oaks, CA. She has been personally trained by Dr. Hakimi on all the plastic surgery procedures – what they entail, downtime, recovery, outcome, who is a good candidate, etc. She is your main point of contact after your consultation and guides you through this journey along with Dr. Hakimi and staff. She has an outstanding personality and a genuine interest in helping women.

In her little spare time, Nicole has a passion for interior design and enjoys travel, spending time with her family, and her three beautiful daughters. "I love supporting women and building relationships with our patients to help them as they establish their cosmetic goals and needs."

Mel was born in El Salvador, Centro America and came to California when he was seven years old. He discovered his passion for surgery at a young age when he started to volunteer at 14 years old.

You wouldn’t guess by his look, but Mel has over 30 years of experience as a certified surgical technician in both plastic surgery and labor and delivery. He worked with world-renowned plastic surgeons when he lived in Florida. In 2010, he moved back to Los Angeles and continued his passion for surgery in Beverly Hills where he joined our team. With his busy schedule, he still manages to go on mission trips every year and takes care of his three dogs, Bruno, Coco, and Metzy. Mel has been Dr. Hakimi's right hand in every surgery and is an essential part of our organization. We are very fortunate to have him.
