One year anniversary of my abdominoplasty, and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. It changed my life. For years I struggled with abdominal pain, core weakness, and a stomach that never improved despite diet and exercise. After having giant babies, no amount of exercise was helping to repair me. I tried everything before considering surgery—years of physical therapy, strengthening programs, local consultations, Emsculpt, anything I could find besides surgery. I asked my OBGYN for a consultation with a surgeon, to see what my options were. She reluctantly referred me, and when I consulted with the VA surgeon, he matter-of-factly told me that surgery would not change my quality of life or the pain. After living with my results for a year, I can confidently say that for me, his statement was not true. Emotionally, it was difficult at times as well. I remember overhearing strangers wondering if I was drinking while pregnant, or commenting while I was at the beach catching waves with my kids about how I was doing that while pregnant. Those moments stayed with me. I know I shouldn’t let other people’s opinion bother me, but it definitely bummed me out. After years of contemplating, I met two women within a months time, who had undergone abdominoplasty with muscle repair. One had surgery locally. She initially told me she was very happy and encouraged me to just do it because she had no regrets. A few months later, however, she shared that she was having complications and would need another surgery. Another woman I met had her surgery with Dr. Rahban and told me he was absolutely the best surgeon and that she never once regretted the investment because of how much better she felt afterward. Hearing both of those experiences played a big role in my decision to have the surgery. I was happy to have ran into the one gal that mentioned Dr. Rahban, because I had already done a ton of research on him back in 2019, and she assured me that he truly was as great as he seemed. That’s when I made the call and scheduled my consultation. After my consultation, I knew that Dr. Rahban was who I wanted as my surgeon. Since my surgery, my core is stronger than it has been in 14 years. I’m finally able to work out and see real results again. I also haven’t had a single abdominal “Charlie horse” since surgery, which used to happen regularly (so painful). The improvement in my strength and physical comfort has truly changed. I feel more confident, more comfortable in my body, and I am able to keep up with my very active kids and family again. I’m so glad I made that call and scheduled the consultation. I never once felt rushed or pressured. Everyone in the office was kind, supportive, and professional, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received. If you’re on the fence like I was for years, I would encourage you to at the least schedule the consultation. I’m so thankful I met someone who encouraged me to.

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 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.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Rahban and his entire staff for taking exceptional care of me with outstanding professionalism and compassion. As a medical provider with many years of experience, I had extremely high standards when choosing a plastic surgeon for my tummy tuck after two C-sections. I consulted with more than five surgeons and took three years to make my decision. I can confidently say there is no one I would trust more than Dr. Rahban. What truly sets him apart is that he does everything himself, which gave me complete confidence in my care and results. His approach is comprehensive, safe, precise, and artistic, and he genuinely cares about how his results look. Dr. Rahban treats each patient with the highest level of attention and integrity, and it clearly shows in his Work. High Recommend

In the past I’ve had experiences both good and very bad with cosmetic surgeons. I am quite discerning as a result when choosing a surgeon. Dr Rahban, from the onset, gave me the confidence I was with an expert surgeon who is not only meticulous, precise, extremely knowledgeable but also a perfectionist. All the qualities you’d want in a surgeon. In the past I unfortunately had liposuction about 20 years ago on my stomach and upper arms. After a few years, the result unfortunately and unexpectedly l to get scar tissue that created an awfully bumpy and quite ughly stomach and crinkly upper arms with bumps and crevices, even though I’m fit and thin. I do a lot of water sports so looking good in a bikini was very important to me. I tried everything. Rolfing, lasers, creams, you name it. So many promised so much with no results. I finally realized I had to handle this surgically. I consulted with many surgeons including one who suggested a reverse tummy tuck, another which would leave a vertical scar on the front of my stomach. No bueno. Well thankfully it was serendipity I heard Dr Rahban on a podcast talk about this very thing, a reverse Tummy tuck would result in a scar in a few years that would migrate downwards due to gravity. Well I’ve had enough of bad cosmetic procedures.. His authority on tummy Rich’s, the right approach and the wrong ones, and evidenced by many before and after photos of his work demonstrated to me I needed to consult with him. During my consult he immediately saw the problem via scars from liposuction, and has seen and dealt with this many times. He explained that the only way to deal with the scars was a full tummy tuck and arm surgery. I knew Dr Rahban was the real thing and knew what it would take to get the best result. I knew he would give me the best result possible. He also does the stitches himself, usually handled by a PA, and does this meticulously so the scar will end up unnoticeable. From that consultation on, and most importantly on the day of surgery, I was very confident all would work out well! It’s 6 weeks post op and I could not be happier. I basically got my body back but better!! I have an adorable belly button, flat stomach and arms that I can once again confidently wear tanks & bathing suits. He even fixed a hernia I didn’t realize I had. Woohoo! The scars already look incredible and I know in several months they’ll be unnoticeable. Dr Rahban is a magician. He is also so friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about the results. I would not go to anyone else for a tummy tuck and brachioplasty. His results are unmatched and you will feel you are and will be in the most skilled and knowledgeable hands. Thank you so much Dr Rahban!! I’m so grateful.
