My Honest and Detailed Tummy Tuck Experience with Dr. Rady Background & Decision This review might resonate with some and might not, but everyone’s journey to losing weight or having a tummy tuck is different. However, many can relate to either having a baby or losing a lot of weight. I fall into the category of losing a lot of weight — I lost about 120 pounds in the last four and a half years. Although I felt great and had a lot of confidence, I needed that extra step to see my full results. The decision to get a tummy tuck was always in the back of my mind; however, it didn’t really click for me until the summer, when I got tired of hiding and just wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin. Choosing My Surgeon If you’re reading this, that means you’re probably considering this procedure too, and if this resonates with you, let it. I can say 100% that not only am I happy with the staff and service, but I’m also very happy with the surgeon I chose — Dr. Rady. What attracted me to his work was his honesty and passion. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting him, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The way he explains things is straightforward, realistic, and focused on what your body needs — not what society says it should look like. During my consultation, he told me that I did need a tummy tuck but didn’t need a thigh lift, and that honesty built my trust immediately. Most surgeons could have tried to upsell me, but he didn’t. I had gone to another facility before where they suggested liposuction and even a mini BBL that I didn’t want, but I was open to hearing them out. Dr. Rady said the opposite — he told me, “You don’t need that, all you need is a tummy tuck, and you’ll be all set.” That was the selling point for me. When you’re in this position, you’re vulnerable and excited, which makes it easy to be persuaded to “do it all,” but at the end of the day, it’s still surgery — a life-changing procedure. Preparing for Surgery Once I booked the surgery, I’ll be honest — I spent about $600 on Amazon buying supplies, and the staff laughed and said, “You don’t need all that, you just need someone to take care of you.” They were right. I was lucky to have my mom with me, and I’m so grateful. What I actually used was simple: two elevated pillows from Amazon that kept my body at the right angle since sleeping flat is difficult after surgery; compression socks, which made me feel safer; wet wipes because showering isn’t possible at first; and lots of electrolytes because staying hydrated is so important for healing. I also prioritized protein — eggs, chicken, natural sources — and kept a low-sodium diet to avoid bloating, which was just my personal choice. Clothing & Essentials Clothing is also limited because you have drains, so I recommend button-up pajama sets from Amazon or something similar that’s soft, stretchy, and easy to take on and off. If you already have that at home, save your money. After being cleared to shower, I bought gauze from Amazon — that was helpful for keeping the incision area clean, especially before putting on the compression garment. I liked feeling “overstocked” and prepared. Mindset & Recovery Before my surgery, I read reviews from people saying it was a walk in the park or the hardest thing ever. I did light research but didn’t let other people’s experiences shape my mindset because everyone’s body and pain tolerance are different. If you’re in the same boat as me, know that it is surgery — you will need help, you’ll need to be strong-willed, and you’ll need to remember that the recovery is a small price to pay for long-term results. I’m now two months post-op, and as I write this after an amazing workout, I’m back to my daily routine. But in those two months, having a caretaker like my mom made a huge difference. Choose wisely — you need someone who will stay on top of your medications, help you walk, and be patient and supportive. Emotional and moral support are important, but physical help is just as necessary. Follow Your Doctor, Not the Internet Most importantly, it’s so easy to go online during recovery and read everyone’s stories because you’re excited about your results and want to pass the time, but please — follow your doctor’s instructions. If your orders say XYZ, do XYZ. Don’t listen to what the internet says. I was very strict about following my doctor’s orders, and it paid off. Even when I felt okay to go to the grocery store, I reminded myself: resting means resting. Only move when necessary — to go to the bathroom or get water. That discipline helped my healing tremendously. Final Thoughts & Gratitude If you’ve made it this far into my review, thank you for reading. I’m 29 years old, don’t have kids yet, and while I do plan to one day, this tummy tuck was something I wanted for me. After years of hard work losing weight, I wanted to feel comfortable in my own clothes and skin. If your heart and mind align, schedule a consultation with Dr. Rady — his honesty and skill speak for themselves. His Beverly Hills office is beautiful and easy to access, with many nearby hotels and Airbnbs if you’re traveling from out of town. The staff is so professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. I wasn’t expecting to be greeted by my first name the second time I visited, but that personal touch meant a lot. It’s the small details that make you feel at home. And to Dr. Rady and his entire staff, if you’re reading this — I am forever thankful to be your patient. I’m so happy with the experience I’ve had, and I’m beyond grateful for your honesty, care, and compassion every step of the way.

I recently had a septo-rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Rahban, and I truly cannot express how grateful I am for the entire experience—from the first consultation to my now fully healed results. Having never undergone any surgery before, I was understandably nervous, but Dr. Rahban and his incredible team made me feel supported, safe, and completely cared for every step of the way. From our very first meeting, Dr. Rahban was incredibly comforting, informative, and compassionate. He took the time to genuinely listen to my concerns and fears about the procedure, and more importantly, he addressed them with patience, honesty, and clarity. He explained not only the aesthetic benefits of the surgery but also how it would improve my overall health—especially my breathing. His ability to combine medical insight with a deep understanding of personal insecurities was truly reassuring. The entire staff at his office is exceptional. Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure smooth communication and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I always felt like a priority, never just another patient. The office itself—and the surgical facility—are absolutely beautiful, impeccably clean, and designed to put you at ease. On the day of my procedure, I was amazed at how relaxed and calm I felt, which is a true testament to the environment Dr. Rahban and his team have created. Post-surgery, my recovery went far more smoothly than I ever expected. I had braced myself for a painful and stressful healing process, but to my surprise, it was the exact opposite. At its worst, it was only mildly uncomfortable—never painful. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Rahban’s skill and the care taken during the procedure. Now that I’m fully healed, I couldn’t be happier with my results. I don’t feel like I look like a different person—I simply feel like the best version of myself. My confidence has soared, and the improvement in my breathing has already made a noticeable impact on my overall well-being. Choosing Dr. Rahban was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. His expertise, artistry, and genuine care for his patients make him a standout in every sense. If I ever decide to undergo another procedure, there is no question in my mind—I will be returning to him. To anyone considering a septo-rhinoplasty or simply curious about taking a step toward feeling better in their own skin, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rahban. I am beyond grateful for the transformation, both inside and out, and I truly cannot sing his praises enough.

Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty After contemplating getting my nose done for over a decade, I found Dr. Rady Rahban on social media and his podcast, “Plastic Surgery Uncensored.” As a healthcare professional I was immediately drawn to him because of his desire to educate and his openness on the realities of surgery, good and bad. I spent time going through his gallery and looking at before and afters, and every single person looked NATURAL. I knew this was going to be the surgeon I wanted to do my procedure. I emailed his team and was sent the most detailed email ever! Layla, the patient care coordinator, included information regarding scheduling, post op appointments, pricing, and even sent several links of Dr. Rahban’s interviews/discussions on rhinoplasty. I didn’t schedule a consult until almost 1 year later due to pregnancy but believe the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. After having my daughter (and my third baby) I decided it was time to do something for myself. I called and was booked about 2 weeks out. For the consultation, Dr. Rahban took his time going over every little detail possible, examined my nose and made his recommendations. Even ones I didn’t think about. He doesn’t want to just make things look better, he wants your quality of life and breathing to improve too. SO IMPORTANT!! I decided to move forward and felt so calm on surgery day because of how well prepared they made me feel. The surgery team was wonderful and Dr. Chan (anesthesiologist) made sure I was comfortable. The first few days post op were a little unpleasant because of nasal packing and mouth breathing. Overall, much easier than I anticipated. I returned for a 1 week, 2 week, and 6 week follow up and have been blown away by the changes I’ve seen in such a short amount of time! I absolutely love my new nose and am shocked at how much better I can breathe! Healing for this procedure takes 12-18 months so you must be patient and trust the process. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Rahban and his team for this life changing experience!!

There’s something I love about this doctor—I just can’t quite put my finger on it. From consultation to procedure to follow-ups, I couldn’t be more impressed. I’ve been to many professionals, and I’ve never seen this level of adherence as I have here. Each appointment just got better and better. I’ve also never seen a staff so genuine—not the contrived posture/fake friendliness. He performed a rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, and blepharoplasty on me. Dr. Rahban takes your natural beauty and adds zhuzh in the best and most complimentary way possible. I never had the chance to thank him because he needed to create an incision over a mole next to my eye that my mom adores. In a moment of ambivalence, I told him he could just remove it—but he understood that it was a valued trademark and made sure I kept something I would have regretted losing. He truly runs his office like a bona fide pro, yet he’s so down-to-earth it’s memorable. Shout-out to this amazing* staff and to Dr. Rahban!

I had an abdominoplasty to correct diastasis recti in January 2025 with Dr. Rabhan. I waited to post the review until I could really see what the final results would look like, so now 7 months after surgery, I'm ready to share. Bottom line is that Dr. Rabhan is truly amazing, and I am so happy I made the decision to have surgery and that I picked Dr. Rabhan as my surgeon. He has so many positive qualities: he is uncompromising in his approach and surgical technique – he has refined his techniques over many years and has a strong rationale for why he does things the way he does; he is willing to take the time to talk you through every aspect of your surgery and any concerns you have; he gives very clear pre and post op instructions; he is very direct and honest – he isn’t sugarcoating anything when he gives you his answers; he is meticulous and cares deeply about the details, and he does what he thinks will be the best outcome for the patient. His staff are very responsive, warm and caring, and make you feel well cared for. I listened to his podcasts after surgery which were highly informative and reinforced that I had made the right choice of surgeon (I should have listened to them before surgery!). I've never had a moment of doubt that I chose the best possible surgeon and am thrilled to be able to get back to using my core in everyday life and working out without modifications again - it's been lifechanging. I’m also thrilled to no longer have the “mommy pooch” and wore a bikini this summer for the first time since having kids!

I am currently two months out from my surgery, and I highly recommend Dr. Rahban. I was teased for my nose growing up, and as a result spent nearly eight years contemplating which doctor I would choose to perform this surgery. I knew that I wanted my result to be functional and correct my deviated septum as well as aesthetic and improve the overall appearance of my nose. It is still healing, but already straighter, smoother, and better suited to my face. I considered all of the top rhinoplasty surgeons, and ultimately chose Dr. Rahban after hunting through every review I could find. After combing through every platform from Realself to Reddit and comparing each surgeon’s reviews and results, I found Dr. Rahban’s gallery to be unmatched. My nose did develop a bump along the bridge post surgery, which may be apparent in some of the photos. From the research I have done it seems to be a bone callus, something that will either smooth naturally over time or be addressed by the surgeon once the initial swelling has subsided. I will leave an update after my one-year post-op if these issues persist and are not addressed. I highly recommend researching not only the surgeon, but also the procedure itself before undergoing rhinoplasty. I had a lovely recovery with nearly no bruising and pain, and was able to bypass the majority of post-op anxiety and regret by familiarizing myself with the process of swelling and the common emotional reactions felt by patients after cast-removal. I watched several YouTube videos discussing the “post-rhinoplasty blues” as well as the stages in which healing occurs, and encourage anyone considering any sort of plastic surgery to do the same. I am so grateful to Dr. Rahban and his team. Ironically, plastic surgery has drastically reduced my preoccupation with my appearance, granting me freedom from a constant underlying insecurity. I would not have entrusted anyone else with such a delicate procedure.

I had a deviated septum and a crooked nose, and I couldn’t breathe out of the right side of my nose so I decided to undergo rhinoseptoplasty with Dr. Rahban at 17 years old. During my consultation, he was open to hearing my concerns, questions and was honest about what needed to be fixed. He went through exactly what to expect post-op, which gave me a good idea on recovery. Surgery day was literally a breeze it went by so quickly. My recovery was so easy, I had very minimal bruising and swelling and basically no pain. Now, six weeks after the surgery, my nose is perfectly straight, and my breathing has improved so much. I haven’t had any complications, and the whole experience has been so smooth. I highly highly recommend Dr. Rahban.

I can not thank Dr. Rahban enough for how much he has done for me. I had a liver transplant in 2019 and in 2021 had another surgeon try to do a revision of the scar on my abdomen. This went far differently than myself, or the surgeon expected and in turn I was left with more issues and unfortunately a worse scar. After meeting with multiple other surgeons who all recommended something different, Dr. Rahban was the first person to offer a solution that actually made sense. He took time and care in trying to come up with a plan that was realistic, and made me feel incredibly confident in choosing him. He treated me like a person, and not just a patient. Dr. Rahban took his time in the OR, and worked tirelessly to make sure he could repair this to the BEST of his ability. Not even so much as a single suture out of place. As someone who has had non-elective surgeries my entire life, when you go through a surgery that you're opting into, there should be no other way you are treated, than the way Dr. Rahban and his entire office take care of you. To be a phenomenal surgeon and have his kind of bedside manner is very rare, Rahban is the exception and not the rule. The result is ten-fold better than anything I could have imagined, and the process was so enjoyable along the way that I can't imagine being any happier with my results. Thank you!!

There is no one I would recommend more highly for a procedure than Dr. Rahban and his team! From start to finish, every member of the team was exceptional - Sally, an absolute pleasure to speak with throughout the booking process; Leti, whose gentle touch made removing the casts and stitches a breeze; Paula, who thoroughly reviewed medications and offered encouraging pre-op words; and Dr. Houston, whose calming presence and clear explanation of the anesthesia plan put me at ease. Dr. Rahban’s team is truly second to none. Dr. Rahban is exactly who you’d want in your corner during this process - his consultations are highly educational, candid, and thorough - none of that sales-y BS. You will leave his consult with a clear set of expectations for the road ahead. As for his work, he is truly an artist, tailoring the nose to fit the face of each patient, resulting in a very natural, “undetectable” result - exactly what I was looking for. At my one-week post-op appointment, I was initially shocked by the sight of my new nose. Dr. Rahban was incredibly calm and patient, reassuring me that my reaction was normal, that it was only one week post-op, and that my nose would continue to change and settle in the months to come. His calm demeanor and wisdom from decades of experience were incredibly reassuring - and he was right. Each week, my nose settled more into my face, and by six weeks, I was already thrilled with the result. All this to say: the work done by Dr. Rahban is truly a tailored approach to each patient, and the elite level of service offered by him and his team - Sally, Layla, Leti, Paula, and Dr. Houston - is second to none. A true SEAL Team 6! I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Rahban and his incredible team for making this experience so seamless, supportive, and transformative.

I can not recommend Dr Rahban enough! I had a breast implant Remove and Replace in 2023 due to a ruptured implant. Mine was not a straight forward R & R since I had had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. And my right breast was radiated making the skin very fragile. Dr Rahban made every effort to make my breasts look as symmetrical and esthetically pleasing as possible given my situation. He listened to my concerns and took the time to explain everything. He really wanted me to get the best results possible. He truly is a very talented, skilled and knowledgeable surgeon who cares about his patients and their results. What made my experience even better was Dr Rahban's staff who were there every step of the way answering all my questions and guiding me all thru the process. I can't thank Dr Rahban and his staff enough, especially Sally, for all their professionalism and care.
