Well I've had several consults with surgeons to do my tummy tuck and lipo on saddle bags (outer thigh) and I've narrowed it down to 2 doctors.

I got an immediate good gut feeling on Dr. P. Nakano. As others have said, he really takes his time with you and answers all your questions. I would also say that he very carefully makes sure you have the right expectations and definitely does not promise you the sun and moon.. and seems in my opinion to be very humble. I do like the reviews I've seen and the before and after pictures. The office is not fancy, but staff is extremely nice. Cons: He didn't seem to think my stomach would not be very flat after surgery despite not being heavy.

The second doctor that I also like, and has very good reviews.. does ALOT of procedures a week... mostly mommy makeovers... Dr. Wang is very friendly, sweet... She said the surgery was only take 2 hours and Dr. Nakano said 4 hours. Although I like the idea of less time under anesthesia, I don't want my procedure rushed. I get the feeling they run back to back. Not necessarily bad, but makes me a little hesitant. Their cost is also $2000 higher that other quote, but they do require you to stay in hospital overnight and provide an extra implantable medicine (Experel) that can keep you more comfortable for 3 days. I like the idea of staying in hospital overnight where they can take good care of me and keep me fairly pain free for the first few days.

so I booked the date for April 22.. which it could be sooner but this will give me time to prepare and exercise alot so I can be in the best shape before the date.
