After researching many doctors, looking at countless before & afters, & having multiple consultations, I finally decided on Dr. Krau. His office manager, Cristina, was great throughout my virtual consultation. She was very helpful, informative, & responsive to emails. Surgery is scheduled for 12/8!

So I have booked my flight and apartment rental (via Airbnb) for my stay in Miami! If you are traveling from out of state and working on a budget, I would definitely recommend looking into Airbnb. We found a great deal on a cute apartment very close to Dr. Krau's office that had great reviews (I'm hoping the reviews are correct!) The nurse from Dr. Krau's office called last week to go through typical pre-op information. She was very informative and answered all of my questions. So far, the process has been very organized and Dr. Krau's staff seems accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly! I will continue to keep you all updated throughout the trip, procedure, and travel back home! Pre-op pictures to come! :)

I went in for pre-op today and met Dr. Krau for the first time. His bedside manner seemed great to me. He didn't spend a tremendous amount of time with me but I didn't feel rushed or anything like that! He was very personable and was up front about the results he expected to accomplish!
My surgery is at 7:30 in the morning so I will let you all know how everything goes!

Yes! The place looked professional, it's kind of glitzy and had a "Miami" type feel, if that makes sense at all! But Dr. Krau's bedside manner was amazing. He spent more time with me today before surgery and listened requests and answered my questions. I haven't taken my binder or bandages off yet to see the results but I will update pictures when I do! Hoping for the best! And wishing you a safe and successful procedure as well!!

Pre-op Photos & Procedure Info.

I have added some of my "Before" photos here and wanted to give a bit more information about my procedure. I am having a full tummy tuck, however, I don't have enough loose skin to have a low incision/scar placement (I've stressed to them how important it is to me to have a VERY low incision) so, because of this, I am going to have a small vertical scar on my lower abdomen in order for Dr. Krau to place the horizontal incision as low as possible. I have seen pictures where Dr. Krau has performed this specific version of the tummy tuck before and the results look amazing! That is my hope for my procedure too, of course!

How was you pre op experience? We're your land drawn in office and everything done right there?
December 13, 2016
I am from out of state so my initial consultation was online (mostly via email) and I had all of my labs/blood work done in state then had the results faxed to Dr. Krau's office. Christina sent me the paperwork for the labs via email and I just had to have it done within 30 days of surgery. I ended up having it done about a week and a half before and having it faxed to their office. My pre-op appointment was the day before surgery. That's when I filled out all of my paperwork, got my prescriptions, and met with Dr. Krau for the first time. They gave me instructions for preparing for surgery and things like that. It went very quickly and smoothly!
