Reviews for Scottsdale, AZ Plastic Surgeon James Nachbar, MD, FACS Liposuction Procedures
"Breast Augmentation, Labiaplasty, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty - Doctor and staff were very kind and knowledgeable! I felt very comfortable in their care. They have been very quick to respond to any questions I’ve had via email. Overall I had a great experience!"
"Breast Implant Revision / Exchange, Liposuction - Excellent service and very professional."
"Breast Reduction, Labiaplasty, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction - The doctor and nurse listened to my needs and provided other observations."
"I never thought I would be a person that would get plastic surgery. However after having 3 kids, maintaining a good diet and exercise regime at 52 years old I finally had enough of the never-ending muffin top. I had a drainless Tummy Tuck (without Liposuction) with Dr. Nachbar on Jan 19, 2024 and cannot even tell you how thrilled I am with the results. Dr. Nachbar and his entire staff from the first appointment through the entire process were OUTSTANDING. I recovered so quickly and feel great. I truly wish I would have had this surgery years ago. This surgery is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and I highly recommend Dr. Nachbar. Not sure if he reads these reviews but if so - THANK YOU SO MUCH"

"Liposuction, Tummy Tuck - Dr. Nachbar was very professional and displayed care for my concerns throughout the process. He listens well and meets with you on every appointment. I never met with just an assistant. I picked him because of his knowledge and experience with the drainless technique. I was very satisfied with my results and scare (biggest concern)."

"Breast Implant Revision, Breast Lift, Liposuction - Dr Nachbar was very thorough and patient. He explained all the procedures, answered questions. He's a straight shooter. No hype or persuasion tactics."
"Butt implants and liposuction - Dr Nachbar himself is a great and thoughtful doctor - Tho is the day of surgery, I got 480ccs implants and lipo on my stomach and lower back. I was very nervous going in but Dr Nachbars staff made me feel as comfortable as they possibly could. Dr Nachbar himself is a great and thoughtful doctor and it really reflects on his staff.Updated on 20 Jul 2021:This was the day of surgery after I woke up. I stayed overnight and had help from two nurses who were kind enough to take pictures for me. This doesn’t show much so I’ll post more once I get around to it.Updated on 24 Jul 2021:There is still a good amount of swelling where the liposuction was done but I feel like it's coming along well. I got the drains out this same day and feel better not having them in the way. I have a good amount of projection from the implants but my camera angles do not show it very well. I'll upload better pictures pretty soon. Brushing is going down but soreness is still there, I'm impatient and just want to be healed already!! :(Updated on 31 Jul 2021:Right buttocks is going through extreme pain close to severe muscle spasms. It was extremely tough recovery, they did do intramuscular implants so that may be the reason why."

"Today is day 28 after my procedure. I cannot express to you how wonderful my experience has been! I previously used Dr. Nachbar 18 years ago to do a revision to my first botched saline implant surgery. Dr. Nachbar fixed it! He is a miracle worker! I had been in to see him a few times in the past 18 years to ask questions, and talk about other procedures. Recently, one of the saline implants started to fail, and I need to have it replaced. I decided to go ahead and do additional procedures to create a better, all around look. When I went to one of the consultations they told me there were two things about the bag-less tummy tuck that they recommended. When Dr. Nachbar performs this procedure, he requires the patient to stay overnight in outpatient facility, and they also recommended a numbing solution that they injected during the surgery. This would last around four days, so that I could be mobile the first few days to help speed up the healing. Although both items cost a little more, I trusted that they knew what was best. They also told me that both of these recommendations minimize discomfort in the beginning, and they wanted me to be up and moving around as much as I could handle, but to listen to my body. I had so many questions about when could I go back to work, belly button ring, new belly button, etc. The office staff always always answered my crazy questions, and Dr. Nachbar was also available anytime I needed to talk to him. They put me at ease, and they were so wonderful and helpful! On August 1st, I had a bag-less tummy tuck, liposuction along my entire back, under arms, inner and outer thighs, and that annoying extra fat between my under arm and breasts. I had to replace my breast implants, so I decided to go with the new silicone "gummy" implants. I am so thankful and grateful that I listened to them! Staying the first night In a facility really made a difference because someone was watching me 24-7. I was concerned about going home because I am single, and although I had people check in on me, I did not have someone that could stay with me all the time. Having the numbing solution made me more mobile, and I really didn't need someone to take care of me as much as I thought I would. I have had minimum discomfort, and my results are already outstanding! I now have a waist, and and hourglass figure! The doctor was always available, 24-7 in the event that I had any questions or concerns. His staff is fantastic and answering even the silliest of questions. Before, during, and after the procedure. They are exhaustively kind and understanding! I have referred countless people to Dr. Nachbar in the past years, and they have also had the same experience as I have. Everything they said was true, and I am having a fantastic recovery! I highly recommend Dr. Nachbar and his office for any procedure you are looking to do. They will be honest and upfront about what to expect, and Dr. Nachbar will only do procedures that he is comfortable getting you the result that you want! I wish I would have done this sooner!"

"I had a great experience with Dr. Nachbar. I have never had any surgery or any type of serious medical problem. I had an Abdominoplasty in addition to liposuction. I was nervous because I didn't see many pictures of other men who had done the procedure. Dr. Nachbar answered all my questions and continues to be available to answer my questions throughout the recovery. I had a difficult recovery and he answered his direct phone line late at night on a holiday weekend. He is a real pro!"

"Liposuction - After losing weight, I was still unable to get rid of my belly fat. Dr. Nachbar performed liposculpture on my upper and lower abdomen, lower back, and flanks.

"I could not have had a better experience. I am a week out from having a breast lift and implants along with lipo suction and a thigh plasty . I know that sounds like a lot and I was worried about getting so much done at one time. Dr. Nachbar reassured me that it was normal how I was feeling and everything will be fine. He and his staff are so caring and supportive in all they do. This man is an excellent Doctor and a perfectionist to say the least. I am sore but in no way am I in any pain and I can't believe it!! I'm so happy with my breast I could just scream and my lower half will be wonderful I'm sure it is just too early to tell. Don't waste your time with anyone else. I had interviews with three prominent plastic surgeons in Scottsdale and Dr. Nachbar is by far the best you will ever have. As I heal I will defiantly keep you all posted."

"I had a WONDERFUL experience with Dr. Nachbar as my surgeon for a lipo/tummy tuck procedure. I had consulted with a female doctor prior to visiting with Dr. Nachbar. I found Dr. Nachbar and his no-drain tummy tuck procedure (performed since 2008) superior to any other. His expertise does away with the draining tubes of the tummy tuck operation and lets your body rid itself of fluids naturally. Recovery time was 2-3 weeks for me. Dr. Nachbar’s office and staff help support his excellent care of patients. I would recommend Dr. Nachbar as your surgeon without reservation."
