Hakim Said, MD, FACS

I hold high standards when it comes to surgical care, and I can confidently say that Dr. Said exceeded every expectation. After multiple consultations with several board certified plastic surgeons, his was by far the most comprehensive and informative. I underwent a mastopexy and breast reduction with implant exchange (for smaller implant), umbilical hernia repair, diastasis recti repair, and abdominoplasty. From preoperative planning through postoperative care, the experience was seamless and exceptionally well-coordinated.

Dr. Said’s surgical technique, clinical judgment, and attention to both function and aesthetics are truly outstanding. He was thorough in his explanations and ensured I was fully informed of the risks, benefits, and realistic outcomes.

I did experience a minor postoperative wound dehiscence after returning to work too soon, which was addressed promptly and professionally. Dr. Said and his team were incredibly responsive, and the follow-up care was exemplary — consistent and reassuring. I always felt supported and well cared for, which made all the difference in my recovery.

What stood out most to me — beyond the incredible cosmetic results — was the meticulous care taken to restore core functionality and anatomical integrity. The improvements in posture, abdominal wall strength, and overall core strength are remarkable. I felt like me again.

As a mom of three children my only regret was not doing this for myself and my core strength sooner.

I also appreciated their in office surgical center utilized a board certified anesthesiologist who managed my intra operative and post operative course flawlessly.

I recommend Dr. Said and his team without reservation to any patient.

From the beginning, I felt comfortable and had total trust in Dr. Said. He explained each detail of what to expect from before, during and the recovery of the surgery. I love the results. His staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Said.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Hakim Said and his entire team for the incredible care I received during my breast implant removal. After facing medical issues related to my initial implants, I was disheartened when my first surgeon refused to help. Thankfully, Dr. Said stepped in and completely transformed my experience.

From our very first consultation, Dr. Said's kindness and compassion were evident. He took the time to listen to my concerns and fears, reassuring me that my health and well-being were his top priority. His thoughtful approach and genuine dedication to achieving the best results possible put me at ease, and he delivered on every single aspect of this.

The entire team was remarkable. They were attentive, supportive, and always available to answer my questions, making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. It was clear that they worked together seamlessly, creating an atmosphere of care that I deeply appreciated.

When I finally saw the results after my surgery, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Dr. Said's skill and artistry produced results that exceeded my expectations. I felt a wave of relief and joy, and I couldn't help but cry tears of happiness. It was a beautiful transformation, and I am so thankful for the positive change in my life.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hakim Said to anyone considering this procedure. His compassion, expertise, and dedication are unmatched. I truly believe that I could not have been in better hands. Thank you, Dr. Said and team, for everything!

Dr. Said and his office were a joy to work with from start to finish. After years of pain I decided to finally proceed with a breast reduction this year. I scheduled consults with 4 of Seattle Met's Top Doctors but Dr. Said stood out immediately. During our consult he spent an entire hour with me going over every detail of the procedure, discussing potential risk, and explaining all my options for a woman of my age. I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Said made me feel comfortable and confident in his abilities to help me. After meeting with him once, I knew I had to book him.

On the days leading up to surgery I was a nervous wreck, but after reaching out to his nurses, Dr. Said offered to schedule an additional phone to ease some of my worry .This was on top of the pre-op appointment we already had scheduled! He made me feel so much better, and I went into surgery day feeling a lot calmer.

On the day of surgery, his anesthesiologist was really a stand-out. She was kind, comforting, and so so patient with me. Not only did she and all other doctors in that room come to speak with me personally before the procedure, they also spoke directly to my fiancé who was with me that morning, making sure he knew what to expect. We both felt safe and trusting in their entire team.

After surgery, everyone was lovely, and they sent me home with a nice care package and all the meds I needed. During recovery I had some hiccups regarding pain management, but Dr Said and his nurses were available by text or phone. I don't know any doctor who freely gives out his cell #, but no matter the date or time, I was able to text Dr Said if I had any questions. This level of care is unmatched, and his care and quick response time was so greatly appreciated.

I'm now a little over 3 months post-op and have been healing great. I've had 4 or 5 follow-up appointments with Dr Said and plan to see him again at the 6 month mark. The best thing about him and his office is they don't forget about you after surgery, they stick with you every step of the way and are quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns, even months after your procedure.

If you are thinking about getting surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Said. I am SO happy with my results and the entire process. Recovery wasn't always easy or pain free, but I always felt I was in the safest, most capable hands.

Dr. Said and his team is the best! I picked him for my first ever cosmetic surgery and the only regret I have is not seeing him sooner.

Why I picked Dr.Said:
When I first started doing my research on finding a surgeon for breast augmentation I was clueless on what I was looking for. I consulted with 2 other doctors in Seattle and after the consultation I was seriously reconsidering if I should even get the surgery. That changed until I talked to Dr.Said. He was the most patient and understanding doctor out of the three. I came with a long list of questions, concerns and requests, he went over every single one and made me feel that he truly understood what result I was looking for. What was also important was I got a sense that his esthetic sense was similar to mine. This is key because I trusted him choosing implant sizes for me during the operation.

Procedure details:
My measurements are around 5’6”, 115lb , 32B. I emphasized to Dr. Said that I want the breast augmentation to look as natural as possible. My goal is to still fit into my clothes after surgery. I asked for under breast incision, under the muscle placement, and implant size between 230-280cc. During the procedure Dr.Said tried a few sizes on me and ended up picking 285cc for me. The implants are Sientra moderate plus.

Results:
I LOVE how my boobs turned out. All my old clothes still fit me but they definitely look better on me now. At first I didn’t know they were going to swell and look that big. So I panicked and talked to Dr.Said, he calmed me down by telling me that they are going to shrink which he was right. I’m also glad that he picked a bigger implant for me during the operation. At first I thought 215cc -235cc would work but now seeing the results of 285cc I don’t think I would like the sizes that I picked, they would have been too narrow for my chest and the proportions would have looked weird. Dr.Said really made the right decision.

Dr Said did an amazing job with my mommy makeover! ( breast lift, full tummy tuck and lipo) After spending months of reading reviews and looking at results of doctors in the area I met with Dr. Said and knew that I was being good hands. His whole staff were welcoming and answered all the questions that I had leading up to it. Process was easy to navigate. He is a very calm and detailed oriented person and I felt like he really listened to what I wanted. He was very realistic in the goals that I wanted to receive and give me a very natural look. He called after the surgery to check on me and his staff were always available via text and call 24/7. When I had any issues with the healing process, I was able to reach a nurse promptly and share photos.

I’m beyond thrilled with my results and I’m so glad I did it! I feel like I have my pre baby body back!

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Said! I saw him for ruptured silicone implants and replacements. I was particularly impressed with how much time he spent with me, explaining my options before surgery, and meeting with me in the months following. I highly recommend him without reservations!

I traveled from out of state for a tummy tuck with Dr Said. I had a severe muscle separation and two hernias that were repaired as part of the surgery. I also got a new belly button as part of the surgery. I felt well taken care of throughout the process and am ecstatic with my results. He and is office were very responsive to questions, and clearly prioritized my safety as well as aesthetics. Dr Said’s extensive experience combined with his approach to giving me multiple options and explaining the pros and cons made him an easy choice for me.

Dr. Said made me feel so comfortable, and confident in my decision to go with the procedure. He answered every question and concern I had and in the end made me look exactly how I always wanted. Him and his entire team were so attentative, caring and professional. I had an extended tummy tuck with lipo and chin lipo and I am 100% satisfied with my results. I will recommend Dr. Said to anyone who's thinking of cosmetic surgery.

Could not recommend more, I got 255cc and showed pics of the results I wanted and got EXACTLY that. Dr said and his team are so incredible and very well priced. I love my results so much and if you’re looking for the best doctor in Seattle he’s right here!!
