Best Surgeon in the Bay Area!

I originally went for a consultation with Dr. K in 2017. He was very nice & his staff was awesome too! He was very straightforward and told me about the results that would most likely come of what I was interested in getting done by him. In the end I didn’t do the surgery because I decided I was not ready. Fast forward to November 2018 I was finally ready! I had such a great experience with Dr. K & his staff the first time I met them all I decided to go through with my surgery through him. What I wanted to get was a Mommy Makeover Deluxe (Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift-No Implants, & a BBL). I called to schedule a consultation and got one 3 weeks after my call due to my busy schedule. I knew this time I was definitely going to do the surgery so I called a few days after booking my consultation and asked if it was at all possible to reserve a surgery date in advance & wouldn’t mind paying some to do so. They of course said yes and I was able to book the perfect date for my schedule! I wanted to make sure I got a date in early January & it all worked out perfectly. Then 2 weeks later I go into the office for my consultation & I was so excited! When I got there they offered me something to drink while I fill out some forms before they bring me back to meet with Dr. K. The forms were easy to understand and I was able to ask any questions I had about them without feeling uncomfortable. Side note- the chairs in the waiting room are so comfortable! Anywho back to the review, I was taken to meet Dr. K & of course just like I remember he was very nice and professional. During the consultation he explained everything that would happen the day of surgery, the healing process, and what kind of results I should expect. I must say he is VERT TRANSPARENT. Which is the best! Personally I like to know every detail of what I’m going to get myself into and he left me with no questions to ask! He answered everything I had in mind plus more! After the consultation he said his good byes and that his patient coordinator will come in and explain the pricing. Jan I believe her name is(I’m very bad with names-sorry) was very nice and clear about the pricing and answered any questions I had! Dr. K and his staff really made this a great experience for me! I decided which procedures I was getting, paid for the surgery, & was out of there in about an hour! I received a packet with all the papers I signed as well as pre-op instructions which I thought was nice because my memory is bad and I like to reread things if I forget! A few days before my surgery Jan calls me to go over my pre-op instructions & set up my check up appointment. Then the night before my surgery the anesthesiologist calls me to introduce himself and answer any questions I might have. It’s the day of surgery & I get to the office at 6am. I sign a few more papers & the surgery process begins! I meet with the anesthesiologist and he explains the medicines he’s going to use to put me to sleep while they are doing the surgery. Then Dr. K comes in and takes a few before pictures & marks up my body for the surgery and we are ready to go! I go in the operating room and they put an IV in and off I go to sleep! Next thing I remember is i’m in the car on my way home! I believe the surgery took about 8 hours total. I got a Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift with no implants, and a BBL. With the BBL I got Lipo to my back so they can transfer the fat to my butt and with the Tummy Tuck I got Lipo to my sides, bra roll, & abdomen. During the Tummy Tuck Dr. K also stitched up my muscles on my abdomen due to the fact that I have had a pregnancy and with a pregnancy that muscle tends to tear & he sewed it back together to also help my waist have a smaller look to it! I also have 3 drains to help drain the liquid that gets built up in my body. They do get in the way but help a lot getting all the liquid out so it doesn’t build up! Let me just tell you this the first few days are a lot of pain! I am 7 days post op and I am able to walk around(not too much because there still is pain), use the rest room, take a shower, & eat just fine. The best part is the night of my surgery I was able to shower & also Dr. K called/texted me from his personal number and asked how I was doing also to let me know I can text him anytime with any questions I have. Talk about patient care! I’ve texted Dr. K a few times since my surgery & he replied fast and answered all the questions I had for him. So far I am really happy with my results. At about day 4 I started to have swelling due to the surgery but that will all subside in due time. I’m very happy that I went though with the surgery & I know it’s definitely going to change my life & help boost my confidence a lot! Thank you Dr. K for everything you’ve done for me! You are definitely my go to person if I ever in the future want another surgery. Dr. K & his staff made my experience so joyful & exciting! I would definitely recommend Dr. K to anyone who wants to get surgery! He’s definitely improved his craft from the first time I met him for a consultation in 2017 until now & i’m sure he will get even better!! Next week I have my 2 week post op appointment where I will get my drains removed and be able to get Dr. K’s opinion on how the healing is going. Until then! :)

A week after my surgery I got really swollen. I was told it can take 2-3 months for the swelling to go down. At my 2 week appointment Dr. K checked all my incisions and everything was healing great. I had the drain in my back removed since it wasn’t collecting any liquid. But the drains in my tummy were left in since they were still collecting a lot of fluid. At the 2 week mark I was able to start using the scar cream they provided as well. I was still in pain from my back due to the fact that I wasn’t standing up straight still. Fast forward to my 3 week appointment I was finally able to get my drains removed! It was such a relief and now easier to wear clothes since I didn’t have to put the clothes over the drains! Dr. K checked my scars once again & everything was healing good. He took some photos of the results so far. My back still bothered me because I’m still standing a bit slanted but it’s getting better every day! I’m very happy with my results so far and the swelling hasn’t even gone down yet! I can’t wait to see what I look like once the swelling subsides! It can only get better from here!!
