From the reviews
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Tanaka. The staff was professional and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Dr. Tanaka took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. The appointment started on time, and I didn't feel rushed at any point.
I just had an appointment with Dr. Tanaka as a new patient he took the time to listen to my concerns and also got right to what would happen and how would surgery go. His team is great and so was he.
Dr. Tanaka is very competent and talented surgeon. He researched my case thoroughly and came up with a plan for the best outcome, given the lack of elasticity of my skin from radiation. I am confident that my results will be outstanding! Everyone in the office is just as kind and caring as Dr. Tanaka is!
Dr. Tanaka was very thorough. He really listened to me and answered all of my questions. I’m very nervous about the surgery, as I’m sure most of us would be, but I know I’m in good hands and I am very hopeful for a speedy recovery.
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
