Dr Rao and his staff are fantastic! Dr Rao specifically is highly skilled, professional, accessible and kind. I also greatly appreciate his integrity! I couldn't be happier with the service I received from him and the surgery center. It was an unbeatable experience and so have referred him to several people. Keep up the great work Dr. Rao and team!

After years of contemplation, I committed to finding a surgeon in Tucson while here temporarily from the Midwest. A month ago, I received a BA performed by Dr. Rao and I could not be more pleased with the results developed thus far. Dr. Rao respected my desired look and input his professional advice where needed. His team, from the office to the surgery clinic, was welcoming, compassionate, and skilled in their respective roles- three influential factors to my recommending Dr. Rao's plastic and/or cosmetic services to anyone interested.

Dr Rao has removed 4 Basal Cell Carcinoma from my face. I was very nervous before the first one, but it turned out fine. About 6 months later another one was found close to my eye. I was hardly nervous at all. It turned out just fine. . I have had all 4 removed over the past 2 years. I can barely see a scar. I have confidence in Dr Rao. He is very kind and an excellent surgeon.

Review from G.  |  Source: RealSelf  |  Feb 01, 2022

Painful for about a week but quickly healed and settled beautifully - My breast augmentation was an amazing experience! Dr. RAO was and is an amazing Doctor! He even sat there at my side and waited until I woke up from being under anesthesia after my breast augmentation surgery. I choose silicone 415 cc implants. They were painful after the surgery for about a week or two...but quickly healed thereafter and settled beautifully. Me being of course inexperienced with breast augmentation even after the surgery I had so many questions. Dr. Rao has always been available to answer all of them. He made sure to give his advice as to what size I should get lol and he was correct in the size he advised for my body type and size. He truly was a good pick for me as my surgeon. I am a kidney transplant patient and my surgery not only was successful but the results are rewarding. Thanks to Dr. Rao my confidence has increased. He is very holistic in his approach I forgot to add lol he never pressures but he definitely believes and supports in the self-esteem of women and I believe that is worth mentioning. I love my new look in everything I wear! Saving for this surgery was definitely worth it! More

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Rao in October of 2020. Let me be the first to say it was Amazing he is the most skilled surgeon . Hands down he is the Michael Angelo of Breast augmentation. I went with a high profile 535 cc and I love it. I had no down time, I could move my arms right away that same day. My pain was near to nothing Dr. Rao carefully followed my recovery very closely making sure he was always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have had. Honestly I never had any complications. I was up dressing myself the very next day. My bruising was near to nothing! At no time did I ever experience heaviness of the implant either. My breast look very natural and soft. No one can tell that I had an augmentation. My scaring is very minimal and is barely visible. Dr. Rao’s staff is amazing! Everyone is so excited to see you all the time.You feel like family every time you go to visit. They make sure you leave the office fully satisfied. I can’t wait for my next surgery with Dr. Rao. Thank you for everything. You are highly skilled and humble. You are what makes a surgeon great. More

very kind and professional. I love the way he iso articulate, and only wants the best results for his clients. You must take a nicotine test if you are a smoker, because if there is nicotine in your system Dr. Rao will not perform the surgery. He cares about his patients, very informative, about every detail of the procedure he will be performing. He performed the abdominal plasty with lipo suction in 5 areas. If you want professional Dr. Rao, and his sister Dt. pokrel are fantastic. More

I was referred to Dr Camela Pokhrel with Dupuytren's contracture, a hand condition that had drawn my wedding ring finger onto the palm of my hand. I experienced the gradually worsening symptoms for seven years, and my left hand finally became disfuncional. I did quite a bit of research on the disease, and was aware that surgery to straighten my finger would be quite complicated. Dr. Pokhrel not only gave me back my hand function, but the process was much less painful and involved than I had anticipated. Her staff is terrific, and Dr Pokhrel has an extremely caring attitude and manner. My hand has healed much more rapidly than my research had predicted. I highly recommend Dr Pokhrel and her practice for any hand surgery a patient might need. Jane Bauermann Tucson More

I went for a consult in the beginning of 2017 for skin removal on my stomach area. I was very active in exercising. I had lost 150lbs. And was unhappy with the loose skin. Dr Rao was very clear on the pre, post and months after care. He and his staff a checked on me during my recovery time. And months after. They are all very polite, professional people. I recommend them if you want and cosmetics surgery. They have many more cool services. I give them 10 stars. More

Dr. Logic far exceeded my expectations - I had the mommy makeover two months ago and I’m happy to say Dr. Logic far exceeded my expectations in skill and professionalism. Within a few weeks I was able to be active in the gym again and felt great, the pain was much less than I anticipated and the scars will be barely visible. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon.

The moment I showed up for my Consult, I was greeted by a friendly office staff. They are super friendly and professional. After meeting Dr Rao he was very patient and made me feel so comfortable. My consult was for a Breast Lift and implants. After years of being unhappy and insecure with how my breasts looked. I was stressed out about him taking pictures of my breasts, but he was super polite and made me feel comfortable. I had surgery Nov 2nd and I'm still recovering, ...but had a very pleasant experience. Before my surgery and after Dr. Rao was very reassuring that I was going to be very happy. I truly am happy. I called his office on a Saturday and he returned my call within minutes. He truly cares about all his patients. I've already recommend 2 friends to get consults with him and I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering surgery. My surgery was at Tucson Surgical Associates they were all amazing. They kept telling me '" you are in great hands." I'm so happy with my entire experience. Thank you so much Dr Rao. More

Why look at the rest, when I have found the best! - I don't think 5 stars is enough to rate Dr. Rao and his staff. After losing weight I had/have that wonderful "loose skin". My insurance covered the excess skin on my abdominal area. I'm 2 months post op on this surgery and am VERY happy! Next month I am having my "bat wings/loose arm skin" removed. This is how much I trust Dr. Rao. During my first visit, he listened. He heard what I wanted, unlike most doctors that want to push you into more. If I wasn't happy with my results, I honestly wouldn't be going back. Everyone at the office is kind, caring and treat you like a friend/family - not a customer. They truly care about you. I highly recommend Dr. Rao for any corrective surgery you are wanting or needing. More

I loved Doctor Rao and staff! They are the best!Doctor Rao is very professional and knowledgeable I highly recommend him!! - I had a breast augmentation with areola reduction and I am more than happy with results. I went into consultation only wanting to add fullness to my breast and Dc Rao recommended adding the areola reduction to make my breast look nicer. This meant alot to me because it showed me how he truly wanted to make my breast look their best. Everything went so smoothly and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I would do it all over again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to have surgery. More

34 Yo, 3 Kids Breastfed, 14 Year Old Saline Switched to Silicone Because of Lost Volume - Tucson, AZ - I know it’s so hard for people to find exact experiences as to what we are looking for that’s why I decided to share mine and am open to any questions or concerns. I’m 5’1”, 117 Lbs and originally had mentor 300cc saline filled to 325cc under the muscle. Over the course of three kids and tissue loss I was sure that some of the implant volume was lost. I had nice full boobs after my original implants at a full C cup for my body size. When I went back to my surgeon I tokd him I still wanted the natural look but that I wanted to look “full” like I once did. During surgery ge placed two sizes and decided on Mentor moderate plus 400cc unders. I’m only a few days out but i can tell I’m fuller than I was without looking fake, which is what I wanted. Going back to work tomorrow and no one will be able to tell. Once the tape comes off I’m willing to post pics if anyone is interested in the outcome.Updated on 15 Mar 2018: More

Breast augmentation with lift 300 cc high profile - My stats 5'4, 132 lbs and after having my son a year ago and breast feeding for 5-6 months I completely lost any all volume. I did a lot, a lot of research, I live up in Phoenix and I was getting quoted 11-15k for this procedure, personally money isn't too much of an issue but for someone who never wanted implants to begin with prior my baby ruining them lol the price was still absurd, I decided to look in Tucson and I saw Dr. Arun Rao on the real self, and decided to make an appointment, the drive was far for me and at the last Minute I didn't go, being scared of surgery and what could happen. Luckily his staff was so sweet and understanding, Carmen was amazing at making me feel at ease over the phone and telling me it would all be okay, and she was able to reschedule me I believe the next business day. Dr. Arun rao told me everything about sizing and suggested the same sizes and method that doctors in Scottsdale suggested for literally almost double the price. And he was really patient with me wanting to see him a few more times because I was nervous, I at one point wanted to go down to 250-275cc Bc I wanted to be as natural as possible and he promised the 300cc would still be very natural and I wouldn't regret not going bigger Bc I told him that was a concern. And I'm so glad we went with 300cc, he also was great Bc he never suggested a giant size to me which I believe is crucial if you want a natural look. I also believe that these results are exactly what I would have recieved if not better if I went for a doctor in Scottsdale aka the Beverly Hills of Arizona. My nipple placement and everything is beyond perfect and I couldn't be more ecstatic, I will be posting more pictures throughout recovery. Thank you again Dr. Arun Rao and Carmen for making me feel so at ease. More

He performed the surgery, the pain was less than minimal, and there is very little scarring......of which I thought there would be much more, but you can hardly tell I even had surgery. He is an amazing and talented physician and I could not recommend anyone more than I would him. If you need something done, you WILL NOT go wrong by choosing him to be the one who takes care of you. Five stars are not enough to rate him according to his ability and caring for his patients. He deserves a much higher rating than that and I cannot brag on him enough, So, make the right choice and choose him to be your surgeon. More

I had nice full boobs after my original implants at a full C cup for my body size. When I went back to my surgeon I tokd him I still wanted the natural look but that I wanted to look “full” like I once did. During surgery ge placed two sizes and decided on Mentor moderate plus 400cc unders. I’m only a few days out but i can tell I’m fuller than I was without looking fake, which is what I wanted. Going back to work tomorrow and no one will be able to tell. Once the tape comes off I’m willing to post pics if anyone is interested in the outcome. More

Dr. Rao has great bedside manner and is incredibly knowledgeable. I went to see him for an issue that has been an insecurity of mine since I was young and he made me feel completely comfortable. I'm four months post-op and so happy I chose Dr. Rao. He and his staff have always available for questions 24/7, my scars are minimal and precise, and he achieved exactly what I was looking for.

Dr. Arun Rao is one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have had the pleasure of meeting. When interviewing surgeons, I was given his name from a coworker and couldn't be more grateful. From the first meeting I felt at ease and completely taken care of. Every detail was explained thoroughly and at a level I understood. His medical assistant at the time, Bethany, was attentive and warm and handled all my insurance needs quickly. Dr. Rao always took the time to find out what was going on in my life outside of my medical needs and always remembered about my family members and work happenings. Every visit was personalized to me and my situation. I felt more like a visiting family member than a patient. I would not have a moment of hesitation in recommending Dr. Rao and his staff to anyone, and have already done so many times. I hope to return to him for another procedure soon. Thank you to Rao Plastic Surgery ! More

From the moment I walked into Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery I was treated extremely well and there was a great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. As I continued to visit they treated me as a friend and knew exactly who I was when I walked in the door. Dr. Rao is a very kind and knowledgable surgeon and listened to all my concerns. He was extremely professional and it was very obvious he cared about me and the outcome. I love the results that he gave me. I had to get my surgery done in a short period of time and this team valued me so much and accommodated me and my constraints. Every visit has been wonderful and something I look forward to! More

Talented and kind surgeon - Dr. Rao is incredibly kind and friendly. I felt very secure in my choice for a Tummy tuck with him. He answered all my questions and the ones I didn't know I had. He eases worries without making you feel silly. His staff is wonderful and went above and beyond to arrange a surgery date that would work with my crazy schedule. I often have to bring my son with for my follow ups and they are all so sweet to him. We've always been on the same page, he is quick and efficient without making you feel rushed. My results are amazing. I never imagined I would look this normal again. My tummy is flat and cute, with (on my less swollen days) some muscle tone.

27 YO Mother of 1 Breast Augmentation & Lip Injections - Tucson, AZ - After many weeks of gathering information and interviewing doctors for a breast augmentation, I decided last minute to go with Dr. Rao. I initially was going to travel to Mexico but that quickly changed, then I had an appointment in Scottsdale with a Dr who I won't say but had a horrible experience which led me to Dr. Rao. I had the most amazing experience from the very moment I called his office everything was perfect! His staff was so friendly and comforting. He worked magic for me and we did surgery right away. Dr Rao gave my boyfriend and I all of his time and attention and answered every question in detail. I'm in love with my new boobies and will definitely be going back after my next baby for a mommy makeover! More

Referred by my cousin to have my breast augmentation done after having a baby. He is the most professional, kind and awesome doctor I ever met. I am VERY MUCH happy with the results. I am only 1 week post surgery and I can barely see the incision he did. Words can't express how happy I am that I have him done my surgery. And OH!, the staffs and appointment reminders are A-AHMAZING!! Definitely referring him to my whole clan! More

I was so tired of my back hurting all of the time and keeping me from participating in activities with my family and friends. I suffered from severe migraine headaches as well and averaged at least 3 per week. The headaches caused me to be even more separated from my family and friends. When I walked out to my car after the surgery, I noticed that my back was not hurting. Throughout the time that I was healing, i realized that I was not experiencing any back pain at all. I could finally walk around the big mall with my daughter without having to sit down or stop every few feet. The migraines were instantly gone as well. I have not had another migraine since the surgery. Once I arrived at home, I received a bouquet of flowers from Dr. Rao and his office staff. That most definitely helped with the healing process because I knew how invested in my well being Dr. Rao was. He was very meticulous in the time and care that he put into preparing me as well as preparing for the surgery. The scarring is very minimal now and continuing to fade even more. I am extremely happy that I went ahead with the surgery and even more happy that Dr. Rao is the one who performed the surgery. I could not have asked for a better Dr. and I would recommend him 150%!!

I am so pleased with the work I've had done at Dr Rao Plastic Surgery. Every thing was explained to me in detail and any questions I had or concerns were promptly addressed. Dr. Rao is personable and I felt very comfortable. I received a breast augmentation that took me from barely an 34A not so pretty after breastfeeding four kids to a 34DD. I chose the silicone implants and I am extremely happy with my results the look and size are proportionate to my body and feel awesome. I thank Dr Rao and staff for helping me achieve the look I have been wanting for years. More

I had a tummy tuck in June 2015. I originally sought the plastic surgeon for a breast lift as my primary fix. They convinced me to do the tummy tuck first because my insurance would pay for that portion since I had just lost 90 pounds. I paid for the muscles to be done too. That abdominoplasty was done in June 2015. The doctor didn't want to do the breast lift at the same time, so we waited. By the time three months went by, I decided I did want breast implants where I didn't before. My tummy looks so good, I wanted to give my breasts a lift too. I've always been a 36c, but after breastfeeding they had collapsed and were always falling out of any bra, no matter what kind of push up I had for lift. Other bras compressed what I did have into nothing. I don't have pictures downloaded to post now. Hopefully, I can edit this later. More

My Back/neck Thank You!!! - Tucson, AZ - I was nervous when going in for my initial consultation with Dr. Rao. However, that quickly changed when meeting him and his dedicated staff. They are professional, friendly, and genuine when looking out for my best interest. We talked about various options for a breast reduction. Ultimately, I decided to go with Dr. Rao because I was confident in his abilities to alleviate my back and neck pain through breast reduction surgery. In the days following the surgery, they would call my husband and me at home to check on the healing process. Even in the follow-up appointments, they have been incredibly kind and patient with my young kids. Dr. Rao is very knowledgeable in this field, and I highly recommend his services. More

Personable, Consenious and Humble - The doctor was very patient when answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. Dr. was concerned about managing post-op discomfort. Willing to listen and didn't always feel as if he was always right. It did take quite a while to get an appointment. But once it was my turn I felt like I was his only priority. More

Trying to Look Younger for my High School Reunion - Tucson, AZ - I wanted to look younger for my upcoming high school reunion. I was not happy with how my face was looking so old. My wrinkles and lines made me look at least 10 years older. I was scared of looking like I had a lot of work done when I went to my reunion. I wanted to look natural and for someone who had not seen me in years to think I just look good for my age. More

Breast augmentation Pre OP - This is Right before my operation, I’m getting 400cc saline in moderate plus. I’m currently at a B cup right now and I have some asymmetry with my breast. I had to wash my breast area with that 4 oz orange soap the dr. Gave me , I’m super excited!! I borrowed my boyfriends button p shirt on the way to the surgery so when they discharge me it won’t be a hassle putting my clothes back on.!Updated on 17 Jun 2018:In my bandages. so much pain but the meds are helping a lot . I can’t even get out of bed by myself but I’m very grateful for my loving boyfriend helping me every step of the way. Getting up and going back on the bed was very difficult. Moving overall was very difficult for me . Also been drinking a lot of water because of all the meds but that resulted in going to the bathroom literally every 45 min. More
