To feel like myself again. I had extensive surgeries with Dr. Nakano in October of 2011 (breast lift & augmentation reinforced with strattice, liposuction in four areas, full tummy tuck with muscle repair) and both Dr. Nakano and his staff were incredibly thorough, meticulous, cautious and compassionate. It was only after extensive research and interviews that I selected Dr. Nakano, specifically due to his demonstrative expertise in new and emerging surgical techniques and the beautiful work he's done on highly complex cases.

Additionally the accellular dermal matrix (strattice) that I opted to have put in to reinforce my breast tissues increased the cost substantially, as did my decision to go with silicone implants.

Great review?
My Doctor: Phillip H. Nakano, MD
My rating:
I would send anyone to see him - really an outstanding example of what it means to be a doctor and a surgeon. And an addendum - Lisa, his practice nurse, is also wonderful. She is sharp and highly competent with loads of experience. I probably called her a dozen times in the first two weeks and she was just as warm and helpful the first time as the 15th.
Wow. Just, wow! What a difference. You look great. Thank you for sharing your story and photos here on RealSelf!
