Have you used her for cosmetic surgery/procedure? Are you happy with the results?

She is wonderful! I highly recommend her. I used her for breast implants to repair/augment breasts after breastfeeding two children.

I chose her for my surgery because she was rated in the Washingtonian's top plastic surgeons in 2010. She has a professional and warm bedside manner. I felt instantly at ease with her. She was very thorough in explaining everything.

The surgery was 1.5 hours long with no issues.

The recovery was short. I had the surgery on a Thursday and was back to work on Monday morning, feeling great with just a small amount of swelling and soreness.

I am very pleased with the results. My breasts look full, but natural and are the size I wanted (34 C/D).

I could have written 14:52's post! I chose her for the same reason, feel the same way about her, LOVE her thorough and very reassuring bedside manner. She's no-nonsense too, but in a good way. I asked about a mini-tummy tuck and she said 'no way, no how' so it's not about the money to her.

She removed my 15 yr old silicone gel implants and swapped them for larger ones vs. doing a lift, and I am very happy with the results. I regret choosing the style implants I selected, but she did warn me about the gummy style not compressing (I'm a stomach sleeper). Can't blame her for that - - don't elect this style!!

I'm also now a full 34D from a 34C. She will tell you what size will look good on you and if the size you think you want is too much. Has implants you can try on to see what your results will look like.

Love her!

p/s - she also did a mole removal on my face. Gave me two options and explained the difference between them. I chose the surgical method and have zero scar under my eye. I can't even tell it was ever there.

She forgot to remove a small benign cyst that we'd agreed she'd remove during the larger procedure. She said that "we" forgot it - I of course was unconscious under sedation. She said that I should've put it on the overall form you sign. Also, during one checkin she was taking notes on a paper towe. However, the outcome of the enhancement is aesthetically good. Don't think I'd use her again.
