I first met Dr. Longo in a social setting where my sister in-law, who is also a medical professional, told me that he was one of the best surgeons at the hospital where she also worked. A reference like that, coming from another medical provider, who is also a family member, is high praise indeed. Since my sister-in-law had been around for a couple of my own non-elective surgeries including the removal of a potentially cancerous growth from my eyelid and a long surgery to repair my face after going face-first through a windshield as a result of a hit-and-run car accident -- I kept her comment and Dr. Longo's name in the back of my mind for future reference. I knew that if/when the time came that I CHOSE to have a, cosmetic, or reconstructive surgery -- Dr. Longo would be the doctor/surgeon to whom I would turn. Many years later I referred my closest friend to Dr. Longo and his stellar reputation was only heightened by the incredible results and care that my friend received. Fast forward to my big decision to finally do something for myself. Again, having been through several non-elective facial surgeries and having done a lot of research about what I wanted, I was fairly well-versed prior to contacting Dr. Longo's office. From my first phone call to my consultation and recovery, everything was spectacular! Dr. Longo took the time to hear and understand my own experience(s), concerns, and expectations. He then took more time to educate me about the muscle groups involved with having a brow-lift and both an upper and lower blepharoplasty. All of my questions were answered and I had a clearer vision of the expectations. Two of my main reasons for selecting Dr. Longo were his reputation and his ability/skill of performing work that yields results where his patients look refreshed and rejuvenated vs overstretched, too enlarged, and or overfilled etc. He keeps people looking real and a better version of themselves. Additionally, both Dr. Longo and his surgical assistant and office manager were amazing. They walked me through the entire procedure(s) including: pre and post-opt preparation and care; made sure that I was set with all of my follow-ups; and made sure that I knew how to reach them if there were any questions or concerns at ANY time. I have never posted photos of myself on the internet; yet, I have benefitted from others who have shared their before, during, and after photos, and posted information regarding procedures and recovery so, this time, I am going to share my own recovery photos - hoping that it helps others who may be looking into an elective surgery and want a top-notch surgeon who is also genuinely caring and dedicated to his patients. read more

After weight loss surgery, my body did very well at adjusting to the weight loss, and I had very little body disformity with the exception of my stomach.  I had excess skin below my belly button and above my pubic line.  It wasn't terrible, and I lived with it for 5 years, but I decided to have it removed and do a tummy tuck.  I had a friend who used Dr. Longo and had a great experience, so i kept his name in the back of my head. In the meantime, my daughter wanted a breast augmentation.  I remembered Dr. Longo's name, so she scheduled a consult.  I was so impressed with his thoroughness, explanation, and overall caring attitude that I knew when it was my turn, I would be very comfortable.   It was finally my turn.  My consult appointment with Dr. Longo was just as I expected, but moreover, he made sure my husband understood as well.  He was again, thorough with his explanation of what to expect,  listened to MY concerns and wishes, and made sure we both understood the recovery and that it would not be easy. Day of surgery he took my mind away from being scared and nervous with his humble way of making you feel comfortable along with his jokes.  I had a complication with my belly button, and he made sure I was seen every week and that it progressively healed.  I highly recommend Dr. Longo for any of your cosmetic needs.  His professionalism, along with his uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable, is unmatched. His staff are caring and always there to answer questions and greet you as you enter with a warm smile. Thank you all for this life changing results.  I will be forever grateful. read more

Dr. Longo is an exceptional physician. He's very straight forward and honest with aesthetic recommendations. He's got such a fine eye for detail and knows what will look great for you. Dr. Longo is a genius and very caring. He really takes the time to get to know his patients and their needs. Dr. Longo has the surgical skills to deliver on all cosmetic procedure needs or complex surgical cases. I have firsthand experience of his dynamic and exceptional surgical skills. Dr. Longo performed a very complex & lifesaving surgical repair for my father. No other reconstructive surgeon would do this complex procedure for my father! The medical & physician and clinical care team that tended to my father's post-care were in awe of the outcome. They had never seen such a dire situation turn into a completely closed surgical area & fully vascularized and aesthetically appealing result! My father would live. Thank you, Dr. Longo you are my hero & a truly incredible man! Since then, several of my family members have gone to Dr. Longo for reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. We/I can't say enough about the fantastic service & everything from the initial consultation to today has been sooth and easy resulting to the incredible results. We trust Dr. Longo's opinion and expertise. Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery is not only Dr. Longo's profession, it is his calling in life. My family & friends would never consider going to any other surgeon. Dr. Longo is the BEST! We/I would enthusiastically 100% recommend Dr. Longo to anyone. read more

I have one word for Dr. Longo, AMAZING! A couple years ago, I decided to take back my life and lose weight. Well the weight came off but being in my 40's my skin did not bounce back and there were certain area's no matter how much I exercised, it just wasn't working. So I decided to do some researching on a full tummy tuck, arm lift and breast lift. I went to several consultations with other doctors in the Sacramento area. I had other doctors telling me what I should do but didn't listen to what I wanted. Dr. Longo listened first then explained the entire process from pre to post surgery. Dr. Longo's staff was incredible as well, very knowledgeable and understanding. The decision to have elective surgery is a huge decision but I made the best choice in choosing Dr. Longo as my doctor. It has only been two month since my surgery but I can already see fabulous results, I can't wait to see what I look like in a year. I look at myself in the mirror every morning and it's like looking at a different person. He truly cares. I could go on and on Please!! Please!! Please!! If you're thinking about any type of elective surgery, contact Dr. Longo's office, it will be the best decision you will ever make. I have another procedure scheduled for next month. Thanks for reading D. Graham read more

I would give Dr. Longo a hundred stars if I could. The man is a miracle worker and straight shooter. He has worked on me in several areas, various times for variety of reasons from (reconstruction of effects of a car accident, to saving my life with a staph infection, to just because I wanted to improve myself). I trust this man with my life and my childrens lives. He has worked on three generations of my family and does great work. He won't just work on you for financial gain. He has refused some of my requests because he has ethics. I've also been around a lot of NPs that work with lots of different Plastic Surgeons in the greater sacramento area and they've seen it all. Several have mentioned that if they had something done they would want Dr. Longo to do it. That's some credible high praise. I love this man and am saving up to work with him again. He is more knowledgeable and caring than any doctor I've even met and he takes the time with each and every patient to get you the best possible results. He is a life changer for the BEST!!!! read more

I was so nervous about about having a breast augmentation but knew I really wanted naturally looking larger breasts. After being recommended to see Dr. Longo, I finally made an appointment for consultation. In the consultation, I felt fully heard and understood with what my expectations were for my body. Dr. Longo was educational and really personable in my consultation. Through his easy-going and friendly demeanor, I was less nervous, more confident and most importantly excited to have my augmentation!!! I knew right away I wanted him to be my doctor. I did not have an easy recovery, I was having a lot of nerve pain and muscle spasms. Dr. Longo and staff immediately responded to every message of concern with sympathy and understanding to what I was feeling and gave appropriate treatment to the issues at hand. I'm currently 1 year post surgery and am SO HAPPY with my results!! I highly recommend Dr. Longo and his staff for any and all improvements you want for yourself!! read more

I met Dr. Longo in 2004, I was impressed from the day we met. He is extremely thorough, is a wonderful human being, honest and gave me all the information I needed to help make my decision to go forward with surgery. 14 years later, I had a ruptured implant and of course I went right back to him. It was if I had just seen him last week the way he treated me, after 14 years. We talked about everything in depth and he once again was wonderful at explaining what my options were. He was very objective and shared his opinions & experience. After deciding what to do, there was no question in my mind, he would perform the surgery! He has amazing bedside manner, makes you feel very comfortable, supplies you with all the information you could possibly need and is just a wonderful human and surgeon! Highly Recommend! read more

Dr Longo is an amazing Doctor and an amazing person. When I first met Dr Longo, it was for the intention of seeking a consultation for my wife's Tummy Tuck. He made the process very stress free and easy to understand. To make a long story short, after leaving the consultation for my wife, I was sold on doing it for myself too. It has been almost a year now and I can proudly say that we both did it and we are both very happy with the results. I feel like we came in clients and left as family. I couldn't imagine going to anybody else in the future. His staff is wonderful and very professional. Dr Longo and his staff make themselves available at all times for his patients during and after hours. I recommend that anybody looking to improve themselves come give Dr Longo a try when making the consideration. read more

Dr.Longo is genuinely the smartest person I have met. I have all my trust in him. Not only does he make you feel even better in your own skin, his work is amazing. I wanted a breast reduction for a while and deciding to go to him was the best decision I have made. Everything went perfectly, and I had no problems with healing. The staff is also the nicest, beautiful ladies ever. I love going to my postop appointments, knowing I get to see Dr. Longo. If I could find a reason to be there all the time, I will! It's a good vibe in there, it's private and comfortable. So if you are thinking about choosing him as a Dr. don't hesitate! read more

Dr Longo did a brow and eye lift for me . I'm thrilled with the result . His skill as a surgeon are unrivaled ! I had the surgery on Friday I was back to work on Wednesday and I had no bruising ! (Unheard of ) I was swollen, but not black and blue . One of my friends showed me pictures of her eye lift and she was bruised for 5 days . In all honesty I was expecting bruising, so I was very surprised when I didn't have any. That's a testimony to the skill of Dr Longo. Everyone in his office are very caring , the atmosphere is casual and comfortable . I recommend him highly ! read more

Dr. Longo and his staff are compassionate, caring and very professional. The surgery process is seamless from scheduling through surgery. As soon as I became a patient I was treated as family.

I am deeply grateful for his expertise and his knowledge. Tricia,B. read more
