This is the Surgeon You Want on Oahu

Dr. Phan performed my tummy tuck and I couldn’t be happier. From scheduling to surgery, Dr. Phan and his staff were amazing. Even at 5 weeks out, I see my desired results and am more than pleased with how thin my scar is. This is the surgeon you want on oahu. He’s a double board certified plastic surgeon and his results speak for themselves. Initially, I almost went with another Plastic surgeon who has about a million followers on Instagram but after reading patient experiences on RealSelf, his surgeries often have requests for revisions and leave patients unhappy. This is NOT the case with Dr. Phan and although his social media is smaller, he’s probably the best plastic surgeon on island and im so glad I went with him for such a big surgery.

True Artist Who Takes His Time

About a month ago, I had my mommy makeover with Dr. Phan, and I can honestly say he exceeded every expectation. He is a true artist who takes his time, values natural beauty, and offers honest recommendations tailored to your best interests.

I had very saggy DD breasts after breastfeeding two kids (both for over a year). I was proud of being able to do that, but once the milk was gone, my breasts looked deflated and sad. I’ve followed Dr. Phan’s work for years and always admired the natural, elegant results he creates. I knew he was the surgeon I wanted. Unlike some doctors who prioritize profits over patient care, Dr. Phan has strong values. He won’t perform procedures that don’t benefit the patient or have lasting effects.

My skin was very thin, and I’ve had large breasts since middle school and breastfed, so Dr. Phan explained that implants would be tough on my body. Instead, he recommended an anchor breast lift with fat transfer. It was the best decision ever. I finally have the full C-cup I’ve always dreamed of: perky, youthful, and perfect for exercise, as well as the clothes I’ve wanted to wear for years. The fat transfer was a bonus because I got lipo on my hips and inner thighs, problem areas that started after my first pregnancy.
I also had the Pixel laser treatment for my hormonal acne and dull skin. Nothing else (not even facials) helped, but this gave me glowing, refreshed skin.

Now, one month into recovery, I feel overjoyed. My results are beyond what I imagined, better than I could have ever hoped for. My breasts are the best they’ve ever looked, my thighs no longer rub together, and I can actually see the difference in my hips. I even wore a backless dress for the first time in my life, and I felt sexy, beautiful, and strong! Recovery was much easier than I expected. With a 2- and 4-year-old, I was nervous, but by two weeks, I was moving around and back to regular life (still being careful, of course).

Plastic surgery isn’t something to bargain-shop for—you need quality, professionalism, and an expert eye. Dr. Phan gave me all of that and more. He didn’t just see me as a patient; he saw me as a mom who deserved to feel like herself again after sacrificing my body for my kids.

His office is luxurious and calming, his staff is tender, kind, and professional, and I felt completely safe going under for surgery.
⭐ Dr. Phan truly changed my life. I highly recommend him to any mom considering a mommy makeover. In my opinion, he is the best in Hawaii.

The Experience was Outstanding

I just had my third procedure with Dr. Bao Phan, and once again, the experience was outstanding. His precision and gentle approach result in minimal pain, zero bruising, and almost no downtime — it’s truly unbelievable how smooth recovery has been every time. Dr. Phan clearly takes great care to avoid unnecessary trauma, and it shows in both the healing process and the final results. His entire staff is also incredible — warm, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and informed. If you’re looking for a surgeon who delivers exceptional results with care and compassion every step of the way, Dr. Phan is the one to see.

Damn! Beautiful Fat Transfer to Breasts

At my age (42) and after breastfeeding two babies (a long time ago) my boobs were decent in size but pretty much lifeless. I’ve been wanting to get breast augmentation for a while now but wasn’t sure implants were for me – so I was really excited to learn about fat transfer to breasts. I was even more excited & happy to find that Dr. Phan does this procedure in Hawaii. I dove in – did lots of research & obsessed over his gallery of before & after photos!

Dr. Phan is absolutely wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with me during the consultation. He is real & honest- he did an exceptional job explaining the entire process and was very understanding of what I wanted & needed.

I can’t explain to you how nice his team is too! It was always a pleasant conversation while scheduling and planning for the operation. The day of I couldn’t feel more comfortable and cared for. It was really, really nice – especially because I was so scared. Overall I would say it went perfectly for me. Very smooth, very easy.

I just took extra strength Tylenol post operation and that’s it. I was able to catch a flight back home the next day and back to my office job a few days later.

I am in love with my new real boobs- that are all me! I am also sooo happy with my bottom half too – my swelling is almost pau and my shape is coming through. I’m starting to feel really confident about my body again!

It’s been 3 weeks now & I have absolutely no regrets and definitely worth all of it! I couldn’t be more grateful to Dr. Phan and his entire team for making my dream come true.

been one of the best most life changing choices

I had a breast reduction with Dr. Phan early this year, a procedure I had wanted for literally 20 years. I am so incredibly grateful I chose him as my surgeon, he has a calm presence that you can tell comes with decades of experience and answered all my questions pre surgery. His whole team was so kind and he was super available to me post surgery as well, which I know isn’t always the case with surgeons. His office and surgery room is beautiful and light, so much better than a hospital! Overall this has been one of the best most life changing choices for my self confidence and I’m so grateful I decided to have Dr. Phan to create it.
