(only 20% of his mommy makeovers & tummy tucks have had liposuction). The contour of the hips is determined by the strength of the surgeon's muscle plication (not lipo).

Meticulous and Lovely Person

I have a complicated surgical history and cannot recommend Dr Rahban and his team enough. I am an attorney and entrepreneur, so I do my research and I expect good results for the money that I spend. I am very pleased with my experience and my results with Dr R. It was a tall order for me to find the right doctor because not only was I looking for a doctor who specializes in post-weight loss body lifts, but one who specializes in revisions. I have lost 200 lbs twice, and had a full body lift after the first time. When I regained the weight, all my plastics were ruined. So I had to find a doctor who could take on the extra skin as well as the scarring and the various mistakes or issues that had come up. I’m very grateful to have found a partner in this journey in Dr Rahban. I also was pleased to see that Dr Rahban has pioneered a surgery called the L-Tap, which is an alternative to the fleur-de-lis style tummy tuck. So I have a solution to the horizontal laxity in my abdomen without the huge scar going down the center of my body. Currently, I have had one of three surgeries. I waited until I have had about 8 months of healing and normalizing since my first surgery to post this review because I wanted to be thorough and honest. And, honestly, I can recommend both Dr Rahban and his team without reservation. Not only are they friendly and helpful, but I am quite particular about my results and so is Dr Rahban. He is meticulous in his work and his incisions are very precise. Despite all the scarring and unconventional issues I am bringing to his surgical table, he has been able to give me results that have really shifted my self perception and improved my life- even with 2 out of 3 surgeries left to go! Thank you, Dr R and team. I look forward to continuing to work with you to achieve my dream body. See you all soon :)

I Had an Amazing Experience.

I got a breast reduction surgery on October 10,2025 with Dr. Rahban. My breast reduction surgery is something I had considered and needed for almost 10 years before finally deciding to move forward. After extensive research and multiple consultations, I chose Dr. Rahban, and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. From the very first appointment, I appreciated Dr. Rahban’s honesty and knowledge. He thoroughly explained every detail of the procedure, why he chose a specific method, how it would benefit my body, and what would realistically work for me. He set clear and realistic expectations, which made me feel confident and informed. His attention to detail is truly impressive—he noticed that my skin was extremely prone to scarring based on past injuries, something I didn’t even mention, and was able to determine this during our first consultation. I am now a little over three months post-op, approaching four months, and my scarring is minimal compared to what I had anticipated. Some areas are still healing, but the most visible parts have little to no scarring at all. This has helped tremendously with my confidence, especially in an area I’ve always felt self-conscious about due to the size of my breasts. I am incredibly grateful for the care and time Dr. Rahban took to minimize scarring and prioritize the long-term results. The preparation and care provided by Dr. Rahban and his entire team—from the initial consultation to surgery day and post-operative care—are absolutely crucial, especially for a procedure as complex as a breast reduction. Every team member played an important role in my journey: Layla during my initial inquiry, Tiffany greeting me at the front desk, Sally helping schedule my appointments, Dr. Rahban answering every question and easing my anxiety at each visit, and Lety providing thorough pre- and post-operative care instructions. Together, they made a huge impact on both my physical and mental well-being throughout this experience. This was my first major surgery, and I couldn’t be more thankful for my choice of Dr. Rahban and his team. I would absolutely consider Dr. Rahban for any future procedures and will confidently recommend him to my family and friends.

Amazing Result

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Rahban and his entire staff for taking exceptional care of me with outstanding professionalism and compassion. As a medical provider with many years of experience, I had extremely high standards when choosing a plastic surgeon for my tummy tuck after two C-sections. I consulted with more than five surgeons and took three years to make my decision. I can confidently say there is no one I would trust more than Dr. Rahban. What truly sets him apart is that he does everything himself, which gave me complete confidence in my care and results. His approach is comprehensive, safe, precise, and artistic, and he genuinely cares about how his results look. Dr. Rahban treats each patient with the highest level of attention and integrity, and it clearly shows in his Work. High Recommend

Expert Doctor and Better Than Expected Result

In the past I’ve had experiences both good and very bad with cosmetic surgeons. I am quite discerning as a result when choosing a surgeon. Dr Rahban, from the onset, gave me the confidence I was with an expert surgeon who is not only meticulous, precise, extremely knowledgeable but also a perfectionist. All the qualities you’d want in a surgeon. In the past I unfortunately had liposuction about 20 years ago on my stomach and upper arms. After a few years, the result unfortunately and unexpectedly l to get scar tissue that created an awfully bumpy and quite ughly stomach and crinkly upper arms with bumps and crevices, even though I’m fit and thin. I do a lot of water sports so looking good in a bikini was very important to me. I tried everything. Rolfing, lasers, creams, you name it. So many promised so much with no results. I finally realized I had to handle this surgically. I consulted with many surgeons including one who suggested a reverse tummy tuck, another which would leave a vertical scar on the front of my stomach. No bueno. Well thankfully it was serendipity I heard Dr Rahban on a podcast talk about this very thing, a reverse Tummy tuck would result in a scar in a few years that would migrate downwards due to gravity. Well I’ve had enough of bad cosmetic procedures.. His authority on tummy Rich’s, the right approach and the wrong ones, and evidenced by many before and after photos of his work demonstrated to me I needed to consult with him. During my consult he immediately saw the problem via scars from liposuction, and has seen and dealt with this many times. He explained that the only way to deal with the scars was a full tummy tuck and arm surgery. I knew Dr Rahban was the real thing and knew what it would take to get the best result. I knew he would give me the best result possible. He also does the stitches himself, usually handled by a PA, and does this meticulously so the scar will end up unnoticeable. From that consultation on, and most importantly on the day of surgery, I was very confident all would work out well! It’s 6 weeks post op and I could not be happier. I basically got my body back but better!! I have an adorable belly button, flat stomach and arms that I can once again confidently wear tanks & bathing suits. He even fixed a hernia I didn’t realize I had. Woohoo! The scars already look incredible and I know in several months they’ll be unnoticeable. Dr Rahban is a magician. He is also so friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about the results. I would not go to anyone else for a tummy tuck and brachioplasty. His results are unmatched and you will feel you are and will be in the most skilled and knowledgeable hands. Thank you so much Dr Rahban!! I’m so grateful.

Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty, Chin Augmentation, and Submental Liposuction

Context For most of my 20s, I was self-conscious about my “parrot” nose and considered rhinoplasty after my male friends had procedures. However, their experiences left me hesitant. They were either unhappy with their results or had painful recovery periods with visible bruising. I needed to research carefully and choose the best surgeon. After all, my face is what I show to the world every day, and if I was going to spend several thousand dollars to permanently change it, it better be done right the first time! Research + Consultation I researched cosmetic surgeons throughout California for weeks. Dr. Rahban stood out after I watched his “Plastic Surgery Uncensored” podcast. I appreciated his no-nonsense approach, which clearly outlined the risks and expectations of each procedure. He didn’t sell unrealistic visions. As a Hispanic male in his early 30s with a “parrot” nose and breathing difficulties, I sought a surgeon who could enhance my nose’s aesthetics while complementing my ethnic features. I wanted a natural look that wasn't overly feminine. I prioritized structural soundness and long-lasting results. Dr. Rahban’s hybrid rhinoplasty/septoplasty addressed both cosmetic and structural concerns. After further analyzing my facial structure, I also considered a chin augmentation. During my consultation, Dr. Rahban listened attentively to my concerns and identified the facial imbalance caused by my nose and chin. He shared my perspective on achieving aesthetic balance, and was candid about the potential benefits of a chin augmentation over the rhinoplasty/septoplasty. It was reassuring to have options and not feel pressured to have both procedures. Ultimately, I chose to combine the rhinoplasty/septoplasty with a chin augmentation and submental liposuction. Nervous yet trusting, I followed Dr. Rahban’s clear pre-op instructions, including blood draws, medications, and minor diet changes. His attentive team patiently answered all my questions. Operation + Recovery In December 2023, I underwent a smooth surgery under general anesthesia. I was taken home by my family immediately after with post-op instructions in-hand. No drama. I spent the following week in bed and experienced moderate discomfort, congestion, and facial swelling, but no bruising. On a scale of 1-10, pain was low (mostly around a 1), with brief moments at a 4 between painkiller doses. Breathing through my mouth was unpleasant for the first few days. Lasting Results + Feedback After resuming normal life, I was thrilled with my results! Friends and colleagues praised my well-balanced and symmetrical face, rarely noticing any work done. This was exactly what I hoped for: a more balanced, attractive face that complemented my facial structure and allowed me to breathe better. Two years later, the results remain stable. My nose and chin’s shape and structure haven’t deviated, and I can still breathe well. Unsolicited compliments boost my self-esteem. But most importantly, I’m happy now when I look in the mirror. It feels like I’m looking at the person I’ve always wanted to be. I only have two complaints. The first is that for the first year after surgery, the inside of my left nostril occasionally bled (very little, only noticeable with a q-tip). Dr. Rahban said it was due to a blood vessel close to the surface, but this issue went away after a year. The second complaint is long wait times for consultations and follow-ups (often half an hour after the scheduled start time), but I was always out before the 2-hour allotted window. Conclusion Dr. Rahban is a highly competent surgeon who delivers life-changing results. I’m extremely satisfied with my results after a rhinoplasty/septoplasty, chin augmentation, and submental liposuction. The entire process was smooth, and I appreciated the professionalism and courtesy of the entire team. I followed the pre- and post-op instructions, and left everything else in Dr. Rahban’s capable hands. I highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery!

Thank You Dr Rahban!

The experience i had with Dr Rahban was simply unspoken of. First of all his entire office personnel are extremely sweet, friendly and accommodating, they go above and beyond to make you feel special. From the first moment Dr Rahban walked into the room, he filled the room with positivity, honesty and genuine care. He listens to your needs and takes his time to give you his professional and honest opinion. And quite frankly, its extremely rare nowadays to find such a reputable doctor that is willing to take his time to explain everything in details, so your decision to proceed with any procedure is made with clear awareness and expectation. However what makes Dr Rahban THE doctor to go to are the results he delivers. He is a true artist, and an amazing one who appreciates beauty, for to revise human appearance should take nothing less than an artist. He simply has the talent to vision the beauty he can achieve and has the skills like no one else to actually deliver the results far beyond the expected. Dr Rahban’s attention during recovery and care for the results delivered are so genuine, that feels even personal. If there were more Dr Rahban’s in the world creating beauty, the world would be so much more of a beautiful place to live in!!!!

A Talented Artist/surgeon.

I recently underwent a rhinoplasty and septoplasty with Dr. Rady Rahban, and the entire experience has been exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Rahban is truly in a class of his own — a surgeon whose technical skill is matched by genuine artistry. I had followed him for years on social media before ever becoming his patient, and I was always moved by the humanitarian work he did abroad, performing cleft lip and palate surgeries on children who otherwise would not have access to that level of care. Seeing his compassion and precision in those cases gave me complete trust in choosing him for my own surgery. From the moment I met him in person, that same dedication was undeniable. He doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter noses or mocked-up images. Instead, he evaluates your entire facial structure and creates a nose that suits your face naturally and beautifully. He is a perfectionist in every sense — he even does all of his own suturing, which is rare today and speaks volumes about his commitment to detail, longevity, and optimal results. Another thing that sets him apart is that he routinely performs a septoplasty with his rhinoplasties with every patient, ensuring both aesthetic improvement and functional breathing. At just 6 weeks post-op, I can already breathe significantly better, which has been an incredible added benefit on top of the cosmetic results. Even this early in my healing, my results are balanced, refined, and clearly the work of someone with exceptional talent. Despite normal swelling, the underlying structure and symmetry are already evident. It’s obvious that every step he took in the operating room was intentional and precise. Dr. Rahban also takes an extraordinary amount of time to educate his patients. He explains every step, every risk, and every reason behind his recommendations. His transparency and thoroughness gave me complete confidence throughout the process. And the follow-up care has been just as impressive — attentive, supportive, and truly invested in my recovery. If you’re looking for a surgeon who is not only exceptionally skilled but also a true artist and humanitarian — someone who prioritizes natural, functional, and long-lasting results — Dr. Rahban is the person you want. Choosing him for my rhinoplasty and septoplasty was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and at 6 weeks out, I couldn’t be happier with both my experience and my outcome.

Life-changing Tummy Tuck with Dr. Rahban

I'm writing this with deep gratitude and from the perspective of a returning patient. I first sought out Dr. Rahban years ago for liposuction on my love handles and flanks, and was incredibly pleased with the beautiful, natural results. This past December (2024), I returned to him for a full tummy tuck, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. The decision to choose Dr. Rahban again was an easy one, solidified after listening to his enlightening podcast: Plastic Surgery Uncensored. His discussions on the meticulous and diligent progressive tension suturing technique (personally closing his incisions across multiple layers to minimize tension) resonated with me. He emphasizes that he does his part to craft a scar that's flat and colorless; the rest is on your body's unique healing capabilities. I can attest to his exceptional surgical skill: my scar has healed remarkably well in many sections. While some small areas reflect my personal healing type, I know without a doubt this is not a reflection of his excellent work. Bless his wonderful, meticulous hands. For years, I'd dealt with chronic lower back pain, a direct result of having two very large children and the subsequent two pregnancies (two years apart) with significant 50-pound weight gain and loss, which left me with a moderate-to-severe case of diastasis recti (DR). I'd exhausted diet and exercise but they couldn't fix the underlying muscle separation. The results of the muscle repair were instantaneous and nothing short of miraculous. The literal morning after my procedure, the back pain that had plagued me for years was gone. My last ache was the day of the surgery. For that singular, fundamental fix, I'm eternally grateful. Beyond the aesthetic improvements, my posture has significantly improved, and I feel a core strength I haven't had in years. This physical transformation has been a profound investment in my health, motivating me to lose even more weight to maintain these fantastic results. Dr. Rahban has performed thousands of these procedures, he knows what works, and he gives you the unvarnished truth about what's achievable, what's necessary, and what the risks are. He's truly a master of his craft, and I encourage prospective patients to trust his work and his words. I'm overwhelmingly pleased and proud of what my body was able to accomplish with the help of this extraordinarily talented surgeon. If you're considering a tummy tuck or any body procedure, and especially if you are dealing with debilitating diastasis recti, Dr. Rahban is a true artist and an ethical practitioner.

Best Decision I’ve Ever Made

Hands down, the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Absolutely life-changing! I did not take this surgery lightly. When my youngest was two years old, I decided I wanted a mommy makeover and began my research right away. My husband is a physician, so I reached out to a social media group for doctors’ wives — an amazing resource for trusted recommendations. I asked for referrals to plastic surgeons who specialize in mommy makeovers. About 10 years earlier, when I was 29, I had liposuction on my saddlebag area and was left with uneven results. Even after several revision attempts, I still wasn’t happy. I was terrified to trust another surgeon, but I knew that if I ever wanted to get my waist back, I had to explore my options. I’m very petite — 5’2” — and my weight has fluctuated most of my life. At the time, I was about 148 pounds, though my happiest weight has always been around 125. Both my children were 10-pound babies, and they left me with diastasis recti. Living in the South — and near the beach — means swimsuits and tank tops are wardrobe staples year-round. I can’t tell you how sad and self-conscious I felt every time I put on a bathing suit. I used to have the smallest waist and could confidently wear bikinis. I’ve always been athletic and consistent in the gym, but after two pregnancies, my waistline completely disappeared. Then I found Dr. Rahban on Instagram — and I was immediately drawn to his consistent, beautiful results. I was especially nervous about how my belly button would look, and I didn’t want anything unnatural. I also loved how his incisions were always straight, low, and clean — unlike so many others I’d seen that were jagged or placed too high. I finally gathered the courage to have a consultation. Choosing Dr. Rahban wasn’t easy since I live all the way across the country in Florida. With my husband’s demanding schedule and our kids’ busy activities, logistics weren’t simple. But we both agreed this was just a small blip in time — and it was worth it to go to the best of the best to avoid complications or regrets. From the moment I met him and his staff, I was beyond impressed. During my consultation, he recommended that for the best results, I lose a bit of weight before surgery. I took his advice seriously and came in on surgery day at 132 pounds. I had also lost some breast volume, and he suggested a small implant with my lift — which completely shocked me! I was always the girl with big boobs, so the idea of needing implants was unfathomable. I thought about it long and hard and finally decided to trust his recommendation. BEST decision ever! My breasts look absolutely beautiful — even better than I could have imagined. He performed a lift, reduction, and added a very small implant, and they are perfection! My belly button is perfect too! Honestly, I feel like I look better naked now than in clothes. Getting dressed every day is such a joy. No more trying to hide a bulging stomach or lift sagging breasts. I feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely happy in my skin. If you’re considering a mommy makeover — do it! The hardest part is committing and finding the right surgeon. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready. I truly believe the only reason anyone would regret a mommy makeover (especially the tummy tuck) is if they chose the wrong surgeon. Dr. Rahban delivers perfect results every time. I’m endlessly thankful I found him!
