I was mutilated and deformed by this doctor. I had a breast reduction and one breast was still much bigger than the other. He and his staff gaslighted me into thinking the larger breast was swollen and would go down. Well, it never went down. Also, after surgery he aske my husband to keep check on my nipples to see if they would turn black. They did and we went to his office where he took stitches around my sensitive nipples out, and told me to leave them that way for a week. I went back and he numbed my nipples and proceeded to stitch them back on. He started on the breast that was numbed last and I think he should have started on the one that had been numbed prior. It was excruciating pain like I have never felt before. I felt every single stitch. I rather felt that he is a bit sadistic. This was terrible and should have been done in a hospital. After I complained that one was still bigger than the other, he wanted me to go down to his new office in Dover to fix it. I was not about to go that far and I am sure I would have been charged for him to fix his mistake. He gives the impression that you are the loveliest lady in the world but that is all it is, just a fake.

He is friendly until he is not. He is defensive when there is problems and thinks he knows everything about everything! do not use this doctor! you have other choices!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Malek and all his staff as well . Dr Malek performed breast augmentation/fat transfer on me and I’m beyond happy with my results and his closeness on following up after surgery . He performs his work to perfection and has such great characteristics about the way he cares for his patients . I would definitely consider going back in future for further work if needed ! I give this place an A plus !!!! ;) -Lisa P.

I have been a patient of Dr. Malek for many years. I had a breast augmentation done 20 years ago and am still happy with the results. A month ago I had fat transfer to my face, FaceTite along with CO2 Laser which was done in his operating room in Lewes. Recovery took about 2 weeks, but was painless. I am very happy with the results. Dr. Malek is the best!

Dr. Malek is the best! He called from his Personal cell phone to check on me after my procedure multiple times each day along with having his staff check on me. Every visit he is there with his staff attending to my recovery. He is truly unique because most drs don’t check on you and ensure that you are good for weeks after your surgery but Dr. Malek does! I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants exceptional results and care before and after!

I went in for Tummy tuck and lipo in the inner thigh and I still need reconstruction on both. Staff are excellent but it's there JOB to be, the work he's done to my tummy tuck left a horrible thick long scar along my bikini line and horrible belly button. Awaiting to get another surgery to rectify Adbollah Malek mistakes. He shouldn't be called a Doctor. I was botched!

Dr. Malek has done work for me since I was little and needed warts removed. I always remember he and his staff being so nice. Recently I had the PrecisionTx on my armpits, which is a one time Procedure to reduce the sweat glands. I've had problems with my armpits sweating since puberty. It's gotten so bad to where I would sweat through hoodies & even my winter jackets. It's been about a month now since the procedure & I'm so happy with the results. I haven't had sweat marks since. Thanks to Dr. Malek and his staff the procedure was pretty much painless! I would recommend this procedure a million times and I would recommend Dr. Malek and his staff for ANYONE interested in cosmetic surgery.

I recently had fat injections in my face to stop signs of aging under my eyes, and the sagging of my cheeks and lips. The recovery period lasted roughly 2 weeks, but overall it wasn’t painful. Post-recovery period, someone asked if I was younger than my wife (I take that as a compilement!). I’m very pleased with Dr. Malek’s professionalism as well as the interactions that I had with his staff. I am happy to reccomend him.

Biography

Dr. Malek grew up in Tehran, Iran. He lived as an exchange student in Wahpeton, North Dakota before returning to Iran and graduating from Tehran University School of Medicine in 1976. Dr. Malek finished his training in general surgery and became board certified as a general surgeon, and completed his training and became a board certified plastic surgeon thereafter. He subsequently completed a fellowship in head, neck, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas before returning to Wilmington in 1984. Since then, Dr. Malek has been in practice for plastic and reconstructive surgery and has changed alongside the innovative and technological growth that is forever changing within this field. A significant amount of patients are great candidates for non-invasive or minimally invasive surgeries, with smaller or no incisions, allowing short recovery times and very natural results. Many plastic surgeons market that they “specialize” in a specific surgery/area, but Dr. Malek places a strong emphasis on being a variety-skilled surgeon. He performs numerous procedures on multiple parts of the body because he understands that in order to produce natural, harmonious results, one area of the human body always compliments another. This is why being a surgeon specializing in one area, is not always the best solution, and Dr. Malek uses his multi-faceted skills to his advantage by being able to provide more natural, pleasing, and harmonious results.
