Rady Rahban, MD, FACS

The Decision ?I’m very into fitness and have a lean body; low body fat and higher muscle mass. My breasts had shrunk as my body changed over time and became a little deflated. This meant I had some room to work with from where my breasts used to be, but minimal breast tissue remaining. Being 30 and pre-children, I wanted to feel confident in having more breast to compliment my body, but I had concerns of feeling too top heavy (5ft6, 120lbs) and I wanted a look that felt right with the rest of my body. Through my research across many other surgeons, I’d seen similar body types to mine where the implants looked like ‘bolt-ons’ and I was initially really scared of that appearance. I wanted fullness with a natural emphasis, sophisticated and classy. I’m very particular with the aesthetic for any changes to my body. ??Dr Rahban was the 1st surgeon I met with after a solid year of research. I came away from my consult knowing he was the one. He has an honest, transparent and informative approach. He speaks to the point with the confidence I needed in a surgeon. He is human and raw, no unnecessary fluff, and I trust those qualities. I appreciated the time he spent in my consult, answering my questions and educating me on the surgery with no pressure. Have a listen to his podcast episodes about breast augmentation, they are super helpful and informative and give you a good sense of his approach. Dr Rahban’s approach to sizing stood out to me. He doesn’t make you choose a cup size or agree to an implant size beforehand. Instead you choose goal photos (too big, too small, just right) and he will try different implants during the surgery, to match the decided goal photos. The idea of this approach made so much sense to me rather than signing away on an implant size that might not look like your goal. The Surgery My surgery day was impeccable. I had a great chat with Dr. Rahban about our final goals for the surgery. I remember being nervous but he came into the room with a calm yet confident approach, he offered a softness to our conversation that I very much appreciated in that moment of excitement yet fear.?? I also got to chat with Dr Chan, the anesthesiologist, before surgery too. He was so kind and we had a laugh together. He made me feel incredibly safe and I felt sure I was in great hands. I explained that previously, waking up from anesthesia was not a pleasant experience for me, but he reassured me it wouldn’t be like that. He was totally right, I had a fantastic sleep and such a smooth wake up from the surgery. ?? When I came around, the nurse was so sweet, I felt great but I needed a little comfort and had asked to hold her hand. She came right over and stood with me holding my hand and took the time to just be there with me for a short while. Post Surgery I had a 1 week, 2 week and 7 week follow up. I couldn’t believe how little pain I was in, and at my 1 week appt. my breasts were already looking great, the bruising was extremely minimal and my incisions were so neat and small. Dr Rahban ‘closes’ all of his patients and his skill at creating minimal incisions is apparent in the results. My new breasts have such a fantastic natural appearance, and given my lack of breast tissue to start with I wasn’t sure that this would be possible. The sizing matches my goal photos, they look and feel wonderful!?? In my opinion our bodies deserve nothing less than second-to-none care and world class work. It may cost more than other options but it is worth it. If I ever need another surgery I will not hesitate to return to Dr Rahban’s office for the level of care and artistry involved throughout. ??I want to also give a huge shout out to all the staff who welcomed me, organized my scheduling, removed my stitches; Tiffany, Layla, Lety, Sally, Dr Chan and anyone I’ve missed; you have all been fantastic and I’m beyond thankful for your care on this journey. I’m so excited for summer and to wear my collection of new bikinis with my new boobs!

Overall amazing experience! I'm about 8 weeks out from my breast augmentation and couldn't be happier. I'm 24 years old, asian/white ethnicity, and a very, very anxious person! I found Dr. Rahban through realself and being super interested in the results on his website. They do not lie!! I look so good!!! I looked into so many different doctors, but I always found something to not like about their results. Even just one being wrong was enough to deter me, but Dr. Rahban consinstently has the most amazing results from his surgeries!! He's the best! From the beginning, I think I was also annoyingly anxious about the whole process, asked a lot of questions but Dr. Rahban answered all of them (without making me feel judged at all) and made me feel at ease. He's also super funny! I really liked the whole process and felt calmer than I ever could have anticipated I'd feel. This is probably literally the only doctor that could ever make me feel so confident in my decision. He has his own process where he assesses your body and decides what is realistic and what isn't. He has you go through his whole gallery and pick 3 that are slightly too big, 3 that are perfect, and 3 that are slightly too small, then discusses with you what is realistic and what's not. I loved this process because if I'm being honest, I didn't know EXACTLY what I wanted, I just knew I was never happy in my clothes and always felt something was missing. He considered what I liked and didn't like in other peoples results, and from that picked the perfect size for me. I'm so happy because I overthink everything and this simplified the process so much. Dr. Rahban's staff was also so sweet and helpful. The surgery was super smooth, I was really scared because I've never undergone a serious operation before. When I got there, the environment was really comforting and I loved my anesthesiologist. She was really nice to me and made me feel safe. All I remember is the staff being all women around me who were kind and comforting, being put to sleep, and waking up with boobs!!! It was crazy. As far as healing so far, I have had no complications. I thought it would be really painful, but personally for me it wasn't. I didn't end up needing to take my pain killers or sleep aid. Again, I'm 24, asian and white, and I live with cats. I was told that being asian could affect my healing due to how we scar/heal differently, but I have healed perfectly so far! This might be a stupid detail to include but I also worried about my cats jumping on me, but it ended up not being a problem and never got hurt. I was also surprised how comfortable I was by the end of the first week. Overall, if you're considering getting this surgery done, I'd 100% recomend Dr. Rahban over anyone else! His results speak for themselves, his gallery looks amazing and I'm so happy to have gotten this done.

Great experience! I trust him so much that I've had three surgeries with him. I didn't know what to expect going in but Dr. Rahban made the whole thing way less intimidating than I thought it would be and more importantly I am very happy with my results. I came in initially for a rhinoplasty and liked his work so much I also came for a breast aug and brow lift. Brow Lift: As someone in their twenties a brow lift is not common at all and I was understandably very worried I would look botched or fake but the results were so natural looking and really just lightly opened my upper eye area as someone with naturally low lying brows. I'll be honest this recovery was painful but not unbearable with medication and results are so worth it. Breast Aug: I went in for a breast augmentation and figuring out the right size was honestly the part I was most stressed about. I have a pretty small frame and not a lot of tissue to work with, so I was nervous it would either look too fake or not make enough of a difference. Dr. Rahban walked me through everything, gave me his honest recommendation, and didn't just go along with whatever I thought I wanted. Ended up being exactly the right call. They look natural — like they belong — but there's definitely a noticeable difference. Rhinoplasty: This was my first experience with Dr Rahban and what led me to trust him so much in the first place. I get compliments on my nose all the time. It's just perfect for my face. What stood out most is how straightforward he is. He's not going to tell you what you want to hear just to get your business — he'll tell you exactly what he thinks, what's realistic, and what results you can actually expect. That kind of honesty is rare and I respected it immediately. Went in with certain expectations and he leveled with me right away, which ended up being a good thing. Very happy with my results, that's the bottom line. Would 100% recommend him to anyone thinking about it.

I will start with my case is a bit different from the average mommy makeover. No one understood why I would even consider surgery, the risks, waste of money, a botched surgery or worst case a WICKED scar! I reviewed so many before and after galleries online and very few had photos similar to my case. Extreme makeover results get all the likes, comments and happy patients even when they are left with an unsightly scar. Oof, SCARS of all shapes and sizes; belly button, no belly button, lots of weird belly buttons, mini, long, thick, high, low, jagged, puckered, mangled, delicate, thin... so many different types of tummy tuck scars! All of these things left me wondering if cases like mine were not worth showcasing or not recommended for surgery. I knew I would have to do INTENSE research to find the right doctor! I didn't need a "miracle worker" plastic surgeon, I needed a plastic surgeon who is a master in delivering beautiful results and DELICATE scars! I studied scar healing like I was being paid for it. After several consultations with plastic surgeons in my area (SF Bay Area) I was confused and nowhere close to making a decision. I was determined to find a doctor who would address the SCAR and BELLY BUTTON head on. I have never been more grateful that the stars aligned (or google tracking cookies) put Dr. Rahban's IG post about scars on my Instagram feed. FINALLY! A plastic surgeon willing to talk about scars openly and uncensored. Not once had I EVER considered to ask the doctor in a consultation who would be closing my incisions after surgery. Literally a new trust issue unlocked!!! It was at that moment I knew I had to book a consultation with Dr.Rahban. His super attentive team worked their magic to get me scheduled for a consultation. I absolutely ADORE his team! So real, so warm and so genuine! My virtual consultation went a little like this: "Hello, I am Dr. Rady Rahban, nice to meet you, WHY ARE YOU HERE? You are just near perfect in these photos, an A-, if you wanted a grade." We both laughed! I was sure he was delivered by the universe to tell me to accept my body. He then asked and listened to what my concerns were. I really appreciate his approach in beginning his consultations by educating me on the procedures in question, what makes a person a good candidate for a procedure and how many variables and factors can lead to many different outcomes even when performing essentially the "same" procedure. He knew the scar was a big deal to me and I know that scars are a big deal to him as well. He validated my feelings about my concerns and was honest in saying that he would not work on me if he did not believe in good faith that he would give me a result that would leave me in better shape than I was already in. He was genuinely excited for me and my results. I really admire a physician that can be straightforward and honest. He ended my 1+ HOUR long consultation with a list of great questions to ask other plastic surgeons, called out red flags I should listen for and specific procedures to avoid at all costs. It didn't take long to decide that Dr.Rahban was MY doctor! I had a short time frame as to when I could schedule my surgery. I told myself “if it’s meant to be it, it will be.” Sally waved her magic wand and I was booked for surgery! I am so grateful to Dr.Rahban, his ENTIRE office and surgical team for being able to make this happen for me. On surgery day I met with Dr. Rahban, his sweet nurse and kind anesthesiologist. I had so many ideas of things to chat about in the OR but damn do those meds work FAST! LOL I wish I could remember my surgery! My amazing aftercare nurse Mitra from Ratana Care was recommended by Sally at Dr.Rahban’s. Mitra is a real ANGEL on earth! I spent 10 days in the area with a family member. I followed Dr.Rahban’s & Letty’s post-op instructions 100% line by line, I truly believe it made my recovery feel a BREEZE! They provided everything I needed for Post-op care. The only item I bought was a pillow set to help keep me elevated in bed. My results? PHENOMENAL! Every single person who told me not to risk it, is floored by my results and obsessed with my belly button! hahaha THANK YOU DR.RAHBAN, SALLY & LETTY!

After 8 years of research, I chose Dr. Rahban for a tummy tuck combined with ventral hernia repair, and I’m so grateful I did. My hernia was caused by diastasis recti following pregnancy, and I understood how important it was to address both the hernia and the underlying muscle separation to reduce the risk of recurrence. It was also very important to me to avoid mesh if possible. What stood out right away was his commitment to educating patients and being completely transparent about his approach. I actually traveled from out of state because I felt confident in his philosophy and expertise. Now, one year post-op, I couldn’t be happier with my results. My core feels strong and functional again and I no longer have hernia pain. I can truly feel the difference in my day-to-day life. If you’re looking for a surgeon who prioritizes both form and function, takes the time to educate, and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend him.

The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because the procedure (chin implant + lipo) was pretty pricey - which I knew and chose anyway because of the doctor’s years of experience and my peace of mind. I want to start off by saying that I am a scientist and I do research for my work and also in all areas of life. I am also extremely anxious and don’t make any life changing decisions lightly. Further, this was my very first surgery experience. That being said, my consultation with Dr. Rahban was full of information. He verified if I was a good candidate for an implant and then very bluntly gave me advice (this might not be for everyone but I preferred it to my other consultations). I liked his no-nonsense approach and that he worked very closely with Impantech so he had the access to choose from all impant sizes and shapes in the surgery room. I also liked that he never gave me false hope or show me a mockup of my new chin. So I set up a surgery date asap. The whole office (the lady who walks you through the paperwork, the front desk girl and the nurse) were super helpful and extremely responsive throughout helping me do my blood work and order medication before the surgery. Everything was seamless. DAY OF SURGERY: I literally had to just show up with nothing, just my boyfriend to drop me off and pick me up. The nurse at the surgery Center & the anaesthesiologist were very calm and walked me through everything. Their confidence helped me calm down my nerves. Before I could let my anxiety get the best of me and bombard them with questions, I was asleep. When I woke up, I was done! The nurse was beside me and handing me water, calling my boyfriend to pick me up. I have never had surgery so I have nothing to compare this to, but I would classify my week 1 post-op to be mildly uncomfortable. I stayed in bed for a day but I could soon walk around the house. There were times when my chin felt tight & uncomfortable but nothing unbearable. Plus the medicines definitely helped with the experience (the pain-ish only lasted week 1). I would say that having my boyfriend cook and feed me and take care of everything around the house was a huge help as I wouldn’t have wanted to do anything that first week. After week 1, I went back in to get my bandages off & I was not happy with how I looked. I was extremely swollen and looked worse than before. The doctor refused to engage with my questions and told me to wait for the swelling to go down. I came home, cried and calmed down. Then cried some more for the next week. But I should’ve trusted him and science because lo and behold my swelling did go down over time. Around the 3/4 week mark is when I started liking what I saw. Something I should also mention is that I am a huge gym rat, so not doing any physical exercise whatsoever was taking a toll mentally on me as well. I was ready to go back after week 3/4. If you’re the same, don’t do it! Just trust the process, let it heal and you won’t lose any gym progress. I also was able to resume work towards the end of week 2. I waited till week 6 to go back to the gym, and after taking it slowly for a week, I am currently back to 80% of my PR. So I just had my week 7 appointment (generally it’s at week 6, but he was busy last week) and I can genuinely say that I have only received compliments throughout. My jaw is snatched. A little profile boost made a huge huge difference and gave me so much confidence. I am aware that over time, it will tighten up even more & I will probably forget I got an implant in the first place! I would absolutely choose Dr. Rahban again in a heartbeat. In my opinion, the price was worth the end results.

Dr. Rahban did an amazing job with my rhinoplasty and I could not be happier with my results. He is not only an incredibly talented surgeon but also an amazing person, which is so important when it comes to choosing someone for such an important procedure. From very beginning he made me and my parents feel safe and like I was in the best hands. My parents actually flew over 10 hours so that he could perform my surgery because we trusted him so much and he truly exceeded all of our expectations. The entire team at the office is also wonderful everyone is super kind, welcoming, and supportive. Every visit to the office has been such a positive experience. My mom is even trying to find reasons for us to come back because we loved it so much. I only have one last follow up appointment in 9 months, which makes me happy but also a little sad because I won’t get to walk into that beautiful office and see all the amazing people there anymore. I’m so grateful to Dr. Rahban and his team for making this such a great experience!!!

Writing reviews isn’t something I normally do, but my experience was worth sharing. I recently underwent a circumferential body lift along with a breast lift and augmentation, and I can confidently say this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made- and choosing Dr Rahban was the most important part of that decision. From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. This was such a personal and vulnerable process, and I never once felt judged or rushed. Dr Rahban took his time to listen to my goals, assess my body thoughtfully, and explain exactly what could realistically be achieved. What stood out most was how honest and thoughtful he was. He didn’t overpromise. He gave realistic expectations while still making me feel confident about what was achievable. By the end of the appointment, I knew I trusted him completely. That feeling of trust made all the difference in moving forward with the surgery. Dr. Rahban’s dedication goes above and beyond what I ever expected, and what truly distinguished him was what he did the day before my surgery. Since my procedure was scheduled for Monday, he had me come in on Sunday (on his day off, away from his family) so he could carefully mark my body for surgery so that nothing would feel rushed on the actual surgery day. That level of attention, precision, and dedication meant so much to me. It showed how seriously he takes his work and how committed he is to achieving optimal results. It reassured me that I was in the hands of someone who takes his craft very seriously and I wasn’t just another case on the schedule. As for my results — even early on, I am beyond impressed. The circumferential body lift truly transformed my body. It tightened and reshaped my entire midsection, giving me a defined waist, smoother back, and a contour that looks amazing from every angle. The difference in my shape is remarkable, yet still looks completely natural. My breast lift and augmentation exceeded my expectations. They are lifted, symmetrical, and proportionate to my frame. The implants look natural and complement my body perfectly — not overdone, just beautifully balanced. My scars are very thin and healing beautifully, which makes the results look even more flawless. I honestly could not be happier with the outcome. I finally feel confident in fitted clothes and swimwear in a way I haven’t felt in years. This experience has truly transformed my life, giving me confidence and a feeling of completeness that radiates into every part of my life. I will forever be grateful for Dr Rahban’s skill, artistry, and the genuine care of his entire team. If you’re considering surgery and want someone you can trust not only with your body but with your well-being, I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you want to see more of his work (before and after) and learn about his approach, his Instagram and podcast are both excellent resources. Thank you Dr Rahban!

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 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.
