Dr. Rady Rahban is truly an Artist. I had my surgery for Diastasis Recti a couple of months ago and I cannot Thank Dr.Rahban enough for it. He is truly amazing.
My journey began 7 years ago when I was expecting my first child. I have always had a very fit petite body type until I got pregnant. During my first pregnancy, I gained 75 lbs and my baby was born at 10 lbs via a c-section. Once I recovered from the delivery and my doctor gave me the go, to start exercising, I immediately started working towards losing all the excess weight. It took almost 2 years to get back to somewhat closer to how I looked during my first trimester. But I never went back to how I looked before pregnancy (which does happen in many cases). After 2 years of rigorous diet and exercising, I still had some bulging of my stomach and didn’t look completely normal, as I would suppose after working out religiously for 2 years. I consulted my OBGYN at Kaiser and wasn’t even once told of possibly having Diastasis Recti (splitting of the abdomen muscles during pregnancy). The doctor told me that this is quite normal after delivering babies via c-section and hence I accepted my fate and decided to live with it.

Hi there, So I had my 6 week follow up, and am ecstatic with my results so far!! I had a more complicated case and had to be extremely careful with who would correct my abdomen. I had a realistic perspective of my results and so far I amazed with how it turned out.

Dr. Rady Rahban is the best. It is not often that I meet a doctor that I have absolutely no reservations at all about.
I am a 60-year-old African American woman from Gary, Indiana. I made the trip to California after my daughter and I did a lot of research for an excellent doctor to repair an abdominal condition called Diastasis Recti. If you still look pregnant months after giving birth, you may have Diastasis Recti. That's what they call it when the rectus abdominis muscles in your abdomen separate during pregnancy, leaving a gap that allows your belly to pooch out. This was a condition that had been a thorn in my side for at least 25 years. Too often I heard about surgeries gone wrong, and you can never be absolutely sure that something won't go wrong but especially being a woman of color, I heard that I was more than likely going to develop keloid scars.

On November 28th, 2018, I underwent the most life altering procedure of my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel extremely grateful that I came into the talented hands of Diastasis Recti expert, Dr. Rahban. I suffered from Diastasis Recti and was experiencing chronic low back pain which robbed me the ability to live the active life I’ve always lived which was that of a former pro athlete.

Hands down, Dr. Rahban is many steps ahead of the rest and is truly a master of his profession. From the very first meeting he was gracious and answered all of my questions and concerns regarding the procedure I was looking for. He went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied and well informed about what was to be expected with the surgery, the risks and recovery before I walked out the door. At this point, I immediately felt super confident in my decision and knew I'd be in great hands with Dr. Rahban and his staff. The surgery was flawless and the recovery has been smooth and surprise-free. I'm 6 weeks post-op and already ecstatic about my results! He's not just a surgeon, he's an artist that genuinely cares about his patients and their long term happiness. Reading online reviews from his other patients is what helped me find Dr. Rahban in the first place, so I hope this review helps guide you a step in the right direction as well. You won't be sorry. P.S. the girls in the office (Sally, Jessica and Natalie) are all sweethearts and extremely helpful.

Dr. Rahban is the best plastic surgeon! I am writing another review because, it has been over a year and a half since Dr. R fixed my breasts and, he is the main reason I am getting married to the love of my life this April! I had a botched breast augmentation in 2014 and Dr. R was the ONLY surgeon I consulted with who was confident he could help me! Having Dr. Rahban as my reconstructive surgeon made all the difference. My fiancé is a Stanford grad and trauma surgeon and he is very meticulous when it comes to my care. He agreed Dr. Rahban is top-notch and a caring and honest surgeon (just like my fiancé). The reason I am engaged is due to Dr. Rahban! He is honest, caring and compassionate. He fixed my problem which caused me such low self esteem and body image. Once Dr. R fixed me I could focus on my career, my relationship etc and I became engaged to my dream man! Dr. Rahban gave me self confidence after a terrible breast augmentation. He is the main reason I'm smiling and planning a wedding today! Many other plastic surgeons did not have a good game plan to help me-Dr. R was honest and competent! I refer many people to him. He is a good man and a game changer! Don't hesitate to trust him with your plastic surgery needs.

I chose Dr. Rahban based on friend's testimonials to his artistry. They were 100% right. I decided to have a breast augmentation at 25 (I spent years thinking about it) and I absolutely made the right decision. I did my research, came to my consultation with a good idea of what I wanted, while maintaining an open mind to his ideas, and was able to make a very comfortable decision. He was very willing to listen to what I wanted, and was able to guide me in the direction that his expertise could direct. The surgery went great. The soreness lasted about a week (it felt like I had done 50 push-ups) and was very tolerable. It is obvious that he takes extreme pride in his work and sees every person as a unique individual.

What a wonderful experience, Dr Rahban and his staff make you feel comfortable and special. He takes the time to share all your options and takes the fear and concern disappear. He makes you look wonderful and feel even better. Thank you Diane.

The Best Thing I Ever Did For Myself!
As Dr. Rahban said, I had 25 things wrong with my nose and he fixed all of them! I have increasingly disliked my nose for various aesthetic reasons but also because I could not properly breathe out of it for as long as I can remember. I did tons of research before choosing Rahban as my doctor and he and his practice met all the requirements I was looking for. I've never met a nicer doctor who takes meticulous pride in his work as well as has such a charming personality. His staff is just as awesome! They are friendly and warm and also exude the same high level of patient interest. They genuinely care about what they are doing in the medical field and it shows. I commend Dr. Rahban on his outstanding service as he has truly changed my life for the better. His realistic and honest outlook to the end result were spot on...no false hope here and that's what you want. It is your face isn't it?!

"The best plastic surgeon ever!
"I had a breast augmentation and liposuction done with Dr. Rahban and I'm in love with the results! I really can't express how wonderful this man is! He's professional, knowledgeable, personable and he really does care for his patients.
"Dr. Rahban is truly gifted and talented. He was never pushy and always listened to what I had to say. Every time I went in for an appointment he took his time examining me and answered each and every question I had. If you're considering any type of plastic surgery I highly recommend visiting Dr. Rahban."

"As a mother of 2 kids and a chest that showed signs of breastfeeding those 2 kids, I wanted a breast lift and implants. I didn't want anything over the top, but I wanted to look like I used to before kids.
"Dr. Rahban was so knowledgeable about plastic surgery. He counseled me through all of my options, and gave me his honest opinion about what he thought would work best for me and my lifestyle. He was so kind and calm about procedures, cost, timeframe, etc. He walked me through each step with reassurance. "And the results? Wow. He did a fantastic job. They look natural, the scars are minimal (and fading everyday) and I am so happy with the end result. And don't even get me started on the office staff.... They are total sweethearts, very informed about the practice and work with you through the entire process.
"I would highly recommend Dr. Rahban. Great surgeon."
Robin C.
"I interviewed 4 surgeons before choosing Dr. Rahban for my breast implant removal and replacement.
"He took over an hour in my consultation, offering many more options to improve my results and overall appearance.Not only looking at my body type with a very discerning and artistic eye, (I'm a lean, muscular 63 year old with little body fat) but offering a solution to prevent the same problem from occurring again. I felt totally confident with his professional, encouraging and kind demeanor.
"During the surgery, Dr. Rahban spent several more hours than anticipated to assure that my outcome was symmetrical and aesthetically perfect! I cannot be more pleased. I was very concerned about scarring because I had a breast lift as well, requiring nipple replacement and two other incisions. However, due to the extra suturing and fine attention to detail, after 3 months my scars are barely visible, just some redness.
"I would recommend Dr. Rahban to anyone, especially anyone considering reconstructive surgery. He is truly an artist with great patience and bedside manner."
Susan G
"Dr. Rahban is great. I had a breast lift/augmentation that did not go well and found Dr. Rahban. He took the time to listen to me and discuss different options.
He was so personable and an obvious perfectionist that I had an immediate ability to trust him and know he would do his absolute best. He never disparaged the last surgeon regarding my outcome but focused on how to make me happy.
"Dr. Rahban is the rare person who brings genuine caring, compassion, and intensity to all that he does. As a surgeon he is obviously gifted but never makes you feel that your problem is "just another" appointment/consult. As an RN I find this particularly refreshing.
"I also had some liposuction and reshaping done and now I know that not only is he a great surgeon but he also has the 'inherited artistic gene.' Thus my new and much more shapely curves.
"Thank you Dr. Rahban.... you truly are amazing."

"I went to Dr. Rahban for a tummy tuck, number one because I had a huge tattoo on my lower abdomen and didn't want to go through laser removal, and since I had just had my baby I said why not get a tummy tuck?
"I did consult with another doctor beforehand and she could not even compare to Dr. Rahban. She was more all about the money and didn't care about me and my concerns. When I saw Dr.Rahban all he cared about was me and my concerns. He didn't push any treatment. He said I needed to make sure this was something I wanted to do, and he also told me not to worry about the tattoo because he would make sure all of it was gone.
"I made my decision and went through with it and all I can say is it was the best decision i have made.
"I am about a month and a half out and I love my stomach. I look like a teen again, lol. He did such a great job! My scar is very thin and I'm sure in a couple months I won't even have one.
"Another thing I don't wanna forget is I was pleased to know that Dr. Rahban also does a whole bunch of volunteer work in other countries for children in need. God bless Dr.Rahban for that because there are not many doctors like that. If I ever need anything else done I will be right back in Dr. Rahban's consult chair."

"Dr. Rahban is simply THE BEST!!! He has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I will forever be thankful to him & his fabulous staff.
"Dr. Rahban did a remarkable job on my 9 hr. long "body lift" surgery. I had heard that this particular procedure was the most painful of them all. I had many apprehensions in the beginning; however, Dr. Rahban's calm and positive bedside manner made me feel reassured that I would be just fine.
"I truly was impressed that he went the extra mile for me. His attention to detail is unlike any other. Not only was he extremely attentive but he was efficient, compassionate, and very patient with me. I'm so grateful that my doctor was able to prep me not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. It made my recovery a very smooth process.
"This surgery has certainly enriched my life. He has given me a renewed sense of self confidence. For the first time in my life I'll be able to wear a two piece bikini this summer!! I adore my new body and the skin I'm in. I'll forever be appreciative for his unflagging efforts. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I just had my bandages removed by Dr. Rahban from my procedure. Wow!
"I'm a 46 yo male who exercises regularly. I couldn't loose that extra fat from my lower abs and flanks. I met with Dr Rahban and he let me know exactly what areas he could refine.
"Dr. Rahban and his staff are ultimate professionals. His entire staff took a personal interest along the way.
"My procedure was more than successful. I did not experience the swelling, bruising, or pain that are usually associated with liposuction. All this I credit to his expertise."
