Braden C. Stridde, MD (license expired)

I had 3 areas of liposuction at the same time: double chin, upper arms, abs/flanks. No skin removal/tightening was needed. At the time of surgery I was in my mid-30s and have elastic skin, average body weight. (Middle of the "normal" BMI range. BMI is problematic and I don't like using it but it gets the point across.)

Everything healed very well, no scarring or infections. The first couple of days were kind of rough (normal for large areas of lipo) with seeping/bandages. On the first day I needed help changing my bandages because it was so messy. But I was able to care for myself and use the restroom, and had prepared home well with comfort products, recovery medications, etc. I work a desk job Mon-Fri and think I had my surgery on a Thursday or Friday - close to the weekend. I didn't miss more than two days of work. overall and was back to normal pretty quickly. Swelling lasted for a while but again that's normal. 

I was happy with how the staff and doctor treated me before and after my procedures. The office environment is CLEAN, pleasant, and attractive.

My surgery was several years ago (not posting exact date) and paid around $16,000 for EVERYTHING including all of the pre-op labs, various fees, prescriptions, anesthesia, surgery on multiple areas, and follow-up.I wanted to do all areas at the same time to minimize the duration of time I would be healing from surgery overall, and to have only one anesthesia fee. 

Not included in that fee, I also paid a nurse assistant to drive me home and sit with me for the first few hours of surgery - this is not required, and pretty much adult loved one could do this role, but I wanted to be totally private so I hired the nurse. 

A few years later, my surgeries have held up and all is well. Nothing healed in a funny position, nor did the fatty areas come back. I'm happier now with my appearance than I was before the surgery, which was the point.

Overall a very positive experience with Dr. Stridde and his team.

Dr straddle is an excellent surgeon. He gave me a revision Breast lift which still looks amazing. Also the ladies in his office are fabulous and they treated me wonderful and I really appreciate him as a surgeon. I am moving back to Seattle so if I need more work I will go to him in the future. The only thing I need to do was have my left nipple revised because the scar healed funny but I have ethnic skin type so this is nothing new for me sometimes I have to have scar revisions but my breasts have excellent shape and form now. He really reshaped my breast’s and made them look pretty. He is also a a good person and his bedside manner is excellent. He took his time doing my surgery and did not rush me in and out of the office. I would give him 500 stars if I could

I have consulted with Dr Stridde A few times over a number of years. I finally thought I should do my due diligence and at least consult with one other person. I did and knew from the moment I was half way through the consult, that I would definitely be seeing Dr. Stridde. I've had many friends who have had surgeries by him and they we're all very happy with results. I have friends who are RNs and worked with him and also spoke very highly of him and his expertise. I believe Dr. Stridde goes above and beyond most plastic surgeons and I like his conservative approach. He is honest and doesn't try to up sale procedures that won't benefit you. His entire staff and OR team are the best and work seamlessly together. I can't say enough about Dr. Bramford (anaesthesia) Tracy and Jody who assist in the OR. My results are exactly the picture he painted and I am still a long ways from seeing final results :-) recommend without hesitation.

I knew Dr. Stridde was the perfect surgeon for me after my first consultation. I had a long list of questions about breast augmentation, and he spent all the time needed to answer all of them. I left feeling educated, confident and excited to book my surgery. My consultation was mid-January and I booked my breast augmentation surgery for the end of April. Two weeks prior to surgery, I went in for my pre-op appointment, during which he answered new questions I had and finalized my size and type of implant. I left with a folder of instructions for pre and post-op care and phone numbers I could call if something urgent came up both prior to and after surgery. Dr. Stridde is a respectful surgeon who wants to ensure each patient's happiness with their final look, and I went into all appointments with no specific size in mind, but trusting his decades of experience to help find the perfect implant size. I'm so glad I relied upon his eye for symmetry, and also for his understanding of the best size for my frame. We ended up deciding on 565cc textured silicone implants under the muscle, and they're perfect. Because of the way my natural anatomy is, he suggested the textured implant in order to avoid having the implants slide into my armpits. Again, his expertise and experience lent themselves to this decision - one I'm very happy with. Another of the many reasons I also chose Dr. Stridde as my surgeon is because he does his surgery in a surgical suite, with the same team of people he's been using for over 10 years. Having the confidence I did in the people he's worked with for so long made it an easy choice. Hospitals will typically have a different group of people working on each surgery, thus negating the familiarity of a consistent team like Dr. Stridde's. The experience I had at the suite was incredible. Comfortable, professional and wonderful! The team Dr. Stridde uses at the surgical center is amazing. Tracy, his nurse, has a way of making you feel like you've known her forever. And Dr. Brandford, the anesthesiologist, is amazing. His many decades of experience were evident in all aspects of the anesthetic process. I arrived the morning of surgery feeling a bit nervous, but was quickly set at ease by the team. I was made comfortable with warm blankets and easy conversation, and before I knew it, surgery was over and i was on my way home. Recovery was amazing! Much better than I could have ever hoped for. I was able to move my arms (something Dr. Stridde had me start doing in recovery to stretch out the pectoral muscles), and the pain was minimal enough that I only needed Extra Strength Tylenol for two days post-surgery. I'm now 10 weeks post-surgery and I'm absolutely thrilled! I've been back three times for follow ups and every time, Dr. Stridde has been happy with my healing and recovery. Dr. Stridde's pricing is also very competitive. He offers a 5% discount on his fees if you choose to pay with cash. My one piece of constructive criticism would be to allow patients who want to pay cash the option of a bank draft or money order (the equivalent of cash) to avoid carrying around a wad of bills. :-) I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Stridde if you're considering plastic surgery - specifically breast augmentation. His many years of knowledge, along with his continued participation in industry studies and knowledge gathering make him, in my opinion, the best choice!

I am so glad I finally made the plunge and got my breasts done! After breast feeding 3 kids and gaining and then losing 90lbs of baby weight, my breasts have been stretched plenty of times.
I was really nervous about having the procedure done but it was worth it!
Only complaint I have is he is always late! At my pre op he was almost 45 minutes late.
I am still very happy with him and my results!

Dr. Stridde was amazing. When researching doctors for my procedure, I had a good feeling about him and I was right. He was professional and honest and upfront about what to expect. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. His nurse, Jody, offered to contact the anesthesiologist and he called me, as well to make sure I was comfortable. My surgery went very well. Everyone was amazing. I finally have the belly I have always wanted. Dr. Stridde was always available to talk to me post op about any concerns or anxieties I had during my healing period. Amanda is great, she listened and always made time to talk with me, as well. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my results.

I've seen Dr. Stridde for over 10 years for intense procedures for corrective reconstruction to standard elective procedures. I trust him with my life. I know he will be honest and kind about my goals.

I went to Dr Stridde for a body lift after losing 157lbs. He did a phenomenal job! I'm so pleased with the results. Dr Stridde and his staff are very professional and great at their job. I highly recommend this clinic.

I have been using Real Self to research the procedure and doctors over the past year and a 1/2. My twins just turned two and are a bit more independent. I though I would want more kids, but after the past year I have definitely decided these two boys are more then enough for me!
I had my consultation with Dr. Stridde a month ago, and really liked him in person. I had been following him on here and I feel he gives very honest answers and is confident in his work. His office has been great, Amanda has answered all my questions, and helped me figure out the payment options. I just went in today and put down my $4,500 cash I had been saving for this. It's really happening now and in basically a months time! I can't wait to be able to wear normal clothes without having a flap of skin hanging out or bulging out the top. Since having my twins I think I have been asked 5 times how far along I am or when am I due! Ahh so annoying and rude for people to ask that! I just tell them oh no this is just leftovers from MY TWINS! I can not wait for that to not be an issue especially this summer.
Now that this is really happening I started back up on Atkins, to try and get a bit closer to my goal weight before surgery. Dose anyone recommend any workouts to do to help get me ready? Like leg workouts to help take the burden off the abs.
I will add my before photos soon. Still debating if I should do the Brest lift with my tummy tuck.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Stridde. I've seen him 3 times over the course of 20 years, and I'm always so glad he's my Doctor. He is caring, and thoughtful in his approach to the procedure and makes sure you're comfortable. He is also detail oriented and methodical about his work. This combination makes for a perfect outcome for his patients and I'm glad to be one of them. I recently had a tummy tuck revision, after a previous tummy tuck with him. We knew this would happen...because in the original procedure 10 years ago, he fixed a vertical scar for me also. He couldn't pull the skin as tight as he wanted to, meaning a revision would be needed eventually and I was okay with that. Needless to say, I would never see another Plastic Surgeon after Dr. Stridde...he's simply set the bar way too high.
