Dr. Desman is truly passionate about plastic surgery. He considers himself to be one of the lucky people that loves what he does for a living. He greatly enjoys getting to know his patients and building an ongoing relationship with them, and he derives tremendous satisfaction out of helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.
Dr. Desman has the skill, experience and education you can trust to give you the results you desire. Prior to entering the field of plastic surgery in 1995, Dr. Desman was a general surgeon. He founded the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery in 1999 with the goal of providing outstanding medical care along with unparalleled service.
His commitment to you is demonstrated not only in his caring demeanor and excellent results, but also in his dedication to continuing education in plastic surgery . He consistently exceeds the standards set by the Virginia Board of Medicine and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons . All of these qualities combined are why so many patients refer their friends and family to Dr. Desman.
Dr. Desman has been performing breast augmentation, breast implants and breast enhancement procedures in Northern Virginia, and Washington D.C. areas for many years.
With Dr. Desman's technique, the majority of patients are able to return to normal activity within 24 hours of surgery. You will not need narcotic medications, drains, special bras, special pumps, or special bandages. You will be able to lift your arms over your head, shower, drive a car, lay directly on your new breasts, and lift normal weight objects. In fact, you will be encouraged to go out to dinner the night of your surgery. Bra shopping the day after surgery? No problem!
Family has always been very important to Dr. Desman. When he is not taking care of his patients, he spends the majority of his free time with his wife and children.
