Nishant Ganesh Kumar, M.D Illuminate Plastic Surgery

“Dr. Kumar did an amazing job with my mommy makeover! From the very first consultation, he took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. He stayed in touch throughout my recovery and always made me feel cared for and supported. His work is truly incredible—I never imagined I could look and feel this good again! Choosing Dr. Kumar was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I would trust him over and over again!”

“Dr. Kumar – where do I even begin? Not only is he an incredibly skilled surgeon, but he’s also a genuinely kind and attentive person. Bedside manner and post-op care are just as important as surgical skill—and Dr. Kumar excels in both. He takes the time to thoroughly answer every question and address any hesitation, making sure you feel confident and informed throughout the process. After surgery, his follow-up care is just as impressive. I had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction, muscle repair, and a breast lift (no implants), and I could not be happier with the results. I’m thrilled with my progress so far and beyond excited to continue seeing results as I heal (surgery was in November 2024). If you’re considering plastic surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kumar.”

“From the moment I met Dr. Kumar, I knew he had my best interest at heart. He took the time to listen and made suggestions based on what I was looking for. Dr. Kumar’s bedside manner after my surgery was unmatched! He was attentive and listened to all my concerns during follow up visits. He did a phenomenal job and gave me what I was looking for! I would highly recommend Dr. Kumar and I honestly cannot say enough great things about him!”

“He is an amazing doctor and can not say enough good things about him. It is very apparent that he cares for his patients. He takes his time answering all questions and concerns and his follow up care is beyond 5 stars!!! Highly recommend!”

“I will forever be grateful that my research for a surgeon led me to Dr. Kumar! I had worked hard for many years to lose over 100lbs and was at a point where I needed surgical intervention to get my body and confidence repaired. Not only did Dr. Kumar work his absolute magic surgically, but his bedside manner, communication, and who he is as a person are absolutely top notch. He set very clear expectations of what my outcome would be like, but I feel like he far exceeded my expectations. His aftercare and follow up have also been amazing! I am almost 6 months post op and he’s still checking in and celebrating the outcomes with me. He has changed my life forever and I am so so thankful. (Surgical procedure: ETT, MR to abs and sides, Lipo360, mons repair. Removed approx 11lbs of skin/tissue and several liters of lipo).”

“I’m so thankful I found Dr. Kumar after researching plastic surgeons for a couple of months. I came to him for a brachioplasty (arm lift) and from our very first consultation, I knew I was in the right hands. He took the time to really get to know me, asked thoughtful questions about my goals and expectations, and clearly explained what the procedure would involve, what kind of results I could expect, and what recovery would be like. The results of my brachioplasty exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier. The care, attention, and support I received were outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Kumar to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon.”

“I have wanted to get a rhinoplasty for almost a decade and finally decided to pull the trigger after meeting Dr. Kumar. From the very beginning, he spent quality time going over all of my questions. He made me feel confident that he could reach the desired outcome I wanted, and, after surgery, he totally delivered on all of my hopes! He checked in with me periodically and help me have the best post surgery recovery I could have. Dr. Kumar truly cares for his patients and is one of the most skilled surgeons I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Expect to be in excellent hands with this very talented, kind, and attentive surgeon. He is one of the very best!!”

“Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Kumar! Choosing Dr. Kumar as my plastic surgeon for my MMO was truly the best decision I’ve ever made. From the very first consultation, his incredible bedside manner put me at ease. He’s kind, patient, and genuinely takes the time to walk you through every step of the process — before and after surgery. I never felt rushed or like “just another patient.” Dr. Kumar is not only compassionate and attentive — his surgical skill is absolutely unmatched. His work is incredibly precise, and the results speak for themselves. The level of detail, artistry, and care he puts into his craft is truly exceptional. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and I am beyond thrilled with my results. Thank you, Dr. Kumar — you’re one of a kind!”

“I am incredibly happy with the results of my mommy make over. Dr. Kumar made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I was particularly impressed with how he listened to my concerns and explained everything clearly. Dr.Kumar was confident about what he could do, and he delivered. He is a talented and skilled surgeon. I highly recommend Dr.Kumar if you are looking for a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lipo 360.”

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Kumar, and I’m beyond happy — not just with the result, but with the whole experience. I am a South Indian woman and I wanted to make sure we weren’t erasing the ethnicity of my nose completely; I only wanted to improve it. In short, I didn’t want an “L.A. nose job”. Using photos he had taken at the consultation, he created a visual mock-up of what my final result would look like, which wasn’t a guarantee, but served to show me that we had the same vision. Dr. Kumar made himself available for questions at all points during the journey - not just during appointments. If you want a surgeon who listens carefully, respects your individuality, delivers beautiful results, and understands that your surgery is a major life event for you, Dr. Kumar is your guy! I’m so glad I ended up in his care.”

“Amazing!!! Dr. Kumar was very attentive to exactly what I wanted and what would be best for my body type. We ended up with under the muscle and 210cc moderate profile. The day before surgery he called to check in and calm any nerves. The day of surgery he asked me what time to call and I told him Love Island was over at 9pm so he called me afterwards, if that tells you the kind of surgeon he is! Then I received a call each day for a couple days after and then he gave me his cell number that I texted asking when I could go to the chiropractor etc., which he answered within the hour. I can’t recommend someone more. If I ever decide on more surgery he is who I will be seeking out immediately!”

“Truly Life-Changing Experience I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Kumar! From my very first consultation to post-op care, every step of the process was handled with compassion, professionalism, and the utmost attention to detail. The results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Kumar is not only a gifted surgeon but also a true artist. His precision and care have genuinely given me a new lease on life — both physically and emotionally. I feel more confident, empowered, and comfortable in my own skin than I ever have! If you are looking for a plastic surgeon who combines expertise, empathy, and artistry, look no further. Dr. Kumar changed my life, and I will forever be grateful!”

“ I met with several surgeons before my consultation with Dr. Kumar, and I immediately knew he was the perfect fit. He took the time to carefully examine me and answer every question. He was so detailed in his surgical approach. His thoughtfulness and precision gave me confidence from the very beginning. I needed a more complex tummy tuck due to the extent of my skin laxity, and Dr. Kumar made sure I had realistic expectations while still feeling excited. The results exceeded anything I could have imagined. I had two planned stages of surgery, including a tummy tuck, lower body lift, liposuction, and breast and back procedures. Every part of my experience was incredibly positive—from the results themselves to the care I received before and after surgery. Dr. Kumar checked in with me regularly and truly celebrated my progress with me.If you're looking for a surgeon who is meticulous, compassionate, and will transform your body, Dr. Kumar will knock it out of the park.”

“I went to several consultations, but when I met Dr. Kumar—everything changed. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. I explained exactly what I wanted and what I didn’t like, and he listened closely without judgment. He was incredibly thorough in explaining the procedure, set realistic expectations, and made me feel 100% confident in his care. And let me tell you—he delivered beyond anything I could have imagined. The care I received was outstanding—Dr. Kumar is not only an exceptional surgeon but also a truly compassionate human being. I never felt like just another patient; I felt like family.Today, I can confidently wear a swimsuit and feel great doing it. I’m even obsessed with my belly button (never thought I’d say that!). If you’re looking for a surgeon who is honest, skilled, and truly cares about his patients, I can’t recommend Dr. Kumar enough. Choosing him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

“I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kumar and his team. From my first consultation, I knew I was in the best hands and could trust him fully. He took the time to listen to my goals, explain every detail so I understood the process entirely and made sure I felt comfortable and well informed. He is very thorough and doesn't miss a beat. Surgery day felt fun, relaxed and full of positive energy which made the experience even better. As for the results, they have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Kumar has an exceptional eye for detail and a level of precision that truly sets him apart. So thankful I chose him and I'm excited to see the amazing work he continues to do in the future!”

“The Absolute Best Experience and Results—A True Master Surgeon! I am absolutely thrilled with my recent breast lift and implant procedure, and I felt compelled to share my experience because Dr Kumar is truly in a league of his own. If you are looking for a highly experienced surgeon who delivers unmatched, meticulous results—especially if you're in the California area and want someone who is already a trusted name in high-end cosmetic circles—look no further. He is the best decision you can make. Highly, highly recommend!”
