“In Good Hands for Tummy Tuck and Abdominoplasty”
After 1 1/2 years of healthy diet and exercise I came to Dr. Kao with two problem areas; my love handles and slight belly paunch. He listened to my history and my wants. He did a thorough examination and interview with me to get a clear understanding of what solution(s) were available to me and what would best address my needs.
I especially liked that he gauged my tolerance for end results, potential scarring, and post op care. After seeking 2nd and 3rd opinions I came back to Dr. Kao because both his diagnosis and interview clearly showed me that he had both my best interests at heart and he knew how he could best help me.
The procedure went smoothly. The surgical team (and anesthesiologist) were friendly, professional, and highly skilled. My post-op care was filled with frequent check ins, communication, and patience as I asked many questions and the team wanted to ensure I got the best results from the procedure. Even with the expected swelling after the procedure I could see the results immediately. The incision for the tummy tuck was discreet and healed so quickly!
I had minor complications with drainage. (I am a tall person and the abdominal area had excess fluids to remove due to my activity levels and minor flexing/bending) But through it all the team took care of it and just over a month after the procedure with the swelling going down (there is still some swelling that may take months to go away) my love handles are gone and my stomach is more tone and flatter than it has ever been.
I cannot wait to see how things look in the coming months as the swelling goes away and I am able to get more active and fine tune the new body Dr. Kao and his staff allowed me to have.
What a great staff! Always pleasant, courteous, and professional. And accommodating! They are always checking in on my progress and they truly care as evidenced when I have my post-op visits. they have been the best!
