Todd C. Rau, MD

I have always been a D cup & it’s always been a struggle to find bathing suits, bras, etc. I thought an implant was what I wanted so I scheduled a consultation. Dr. Rau told me I would need a lift and 6 months later we could do an implant. Needless to say I was not thrilled. Went home thought long and hard and decided maybe a breast lift without an implant is exactly what I wanted. No implants to worry about or replace. So I called and scheduled surgery. Got to thinking that I wanted another appointment before. Called the office the staff was great. Scheduled another appointment. Was happy with Dr. Rau and his answers. I am now a week post op and I am very happy with the results so far. I don’t think I would even consider an implant after my surgery!

With my ocd tendencies I consulted with 10 board certified surgeons for a tummy tuck. Dr. Rau was my first choice to schedule a consult & no other ps came close to him. Starting with the entire experience, his office staff is 100% amazing. I felt so cared for as a potential patient with zero pressure to book a procedure that instant. As a patient you will feel cared for as a whole. Dr Rau took the time during my consult to answer each and every question I had as well as explain the "why" behind how he would perform my procedure. This was HUGE in my level of comfort with making my decision.

Booking my procedure with Hannah was a breeze, even when I had the opportunity to move my surgery up by 2 months she made it happen.

Surgery day was coordinated well, the outpatient surgery center nurses were amazing & kept my hubby informed which I appreciated!

Day after follow up I walked into the office and they were waiting by the door prepped for me. That was a godsend they made sure I was comfortable.

Now my results... nothing short of amazing & honestly better then I ever anticipated. My son was born 20 years ago so for 20 years I've been super self conscious about my appearance. In two weeks of healing that has changed. I still get emotional about how amazing my results are.

Best advice I can give. FOLLOW the aftercare instructions to a T. Arrange your support system before & plan plan plan!

My experience with this doctor was great! From the staff to the nurses and the doctor, everyone was amazing. They took there time with me and answer any questions or concerns I had about the surgery. The end result came out perfect and exactly what I wanted. If I had to do any other surgeries, I would definitely come back to this doctor!

Dr Rau doesn’t push procedures on you that you may not be ready for and does amazing work. I’m getting older and needed a little help with love handles/flanks/bra fat. I’m 3 weeks out and can’t wait to see the final result! Thank you!

I felt very comfortable after my consultation for a tummy tuck. The results were over & above my expectations. I had gained over 100 lbs during 2 pregnancies & lost the weight but still had loose skin. I would definitely recommend him.

He is very professional! He is encouraging for you to make your choice in size, which I loved. The whole staff and surgical team are amazing and continue to check in on you after surgery! Plus my results are amazing!!! Highly recommend him!!!

Last year I decided to get breast implants instead of the lift I knew I needed. I was already a 34 D/DD and really didn't want larger breasts, I just wanted them to be higher or have some upper pole fullness, but I wasn't ready to commit to the scars of a lift. I immediately regretted it and was very insecure about how large they were, and I tried to hide them with minimizing bras and loose clothing. I also hated the way they felt inside of me and the loss of sensation made me uncomfortable, like trying to eat after the dentist while still being partially numb. I decided to remove the implants and get the full mastopexy and I am so glad I did. I still don't have sensation where I had lost it originally, but I'm so happy about my breasts. They felt small at first and it was an adjustment, but they're perfect. It sucks that I had to mess up and get the implants to appreciate my new smaller breasts, but ultimately it was worth it. I think my surgeon did a good job with the implants (one looks higher in the pic because I'm raising my arm), I just hated them in me. I'm only 2 weeks post-op now, but I feel like he did a good job with the lift as well. Was definitely worth it.

I’ve always wanted to fix my nose and I guess now was just the time. I’ve been stalking real self for months and watching and videos I can find and getting myself properly terrified, like one does. I was getting my breast done at the same time and no two doctors agreed on what exactly I should do with those, so I probably spent more time discussing those rather than my nose with each doctor. But I ended up going with the doctor a friend of mine used, as her results with her breasts were great. I figured any change to my nose would be better than what I have now, so I definitely slacked I’m asking questions about how many he had preformed or asking to see before and after pictures.

It’s only the day after my surgery so I can’t really see much, but what I can see of the tip I am happy with. I had very little bruising yesterday but it’s getting darker today. Nothing as bad as I was expecting from other’s posts though. And almost no pain. That’s all focused on the breasts, but that’s another post.

The bridge of my nose is swelling more and my bruising has spread but hasn’t gotten much darker. I started taking arnica pills the week prior to surgery, so perhaps those actually helped. I tend to sleep completely flat on my back or stomach, so I borrowed a recliner from my sister because I didn’t trust myself to stay upright while sleeping otherwise. I’m feeling congested today, but still fine. Pain is minimal, mostly just discomfort from the stuffy nose and stitches.

Just got my stitches out and my cast off yesterday. The doctor yanking that thing off my face may have been the most pain I’ve experienced this whole time, which was still only around a 4, and only for a short time. I’m still adjusting to a new face, and I really love the profile, but the swelling on the bridge looks sooooo bad to me that I’m trying not to look at it much. My bruising never got terrible and now I just look like I haven’t slept in a few days rather than like I got into a fight. Trying not to make judgements until the swelling has some time to go down, but I don’t want to hide my head in a bag, so that’s good, I think?

I am liking my nose so much better now. I know they said the swelling would go down, but I’m not sure I believed it, but it’s so much better than it was in week 2. I know they say you can’t tell the final results for a year, but I figure where I’m at now is about how it’s going to stay.

Dr. Rau is simply the best! I have had a breast lift with augmentation, a tummy tuck with a medial thigh lift, and a bilateral brachioplasty. Every procedure was done with care, precision, and by a Dr. who not only is exceptional at what he does, also is approachable and highly professional. I will return to Dr. Rau when I am ready to do a face lift in a couple of years. I have referred him to several friends and each who have elected to have him perform the procedure have been extremely happy with their results as well.

I have had several procedures performed by Dr. Rau and each experience has been outstanding from start to finish! Dr. Rau and his staff are friendly, caring, and highly professional! I greatly appreciated Dr. Rau’s precision and expertise! There is absolutely no surgeon I will go to or refer , other than Dr. Todd Rau.
