Artistic plastic surgery precision
begins with understanding your needs.
If you've ever thought of having plastic surgery, you have a lot of questions. Until now, the only way to get them answered directly by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon was to take hours out of your busy day going in to a doctor's office for an awkward and often embarrassing consultation. And even then, you can spend very little time with the doctor!
"At the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery , we believe that "taking care" of the patient begins the moment you contact our office. We realize that with today's hectic lifestyles, your time and energy is precious. That is why we are committed to doing everything we can to make every interaction with our practice a pleasant, efficient, and personal experience. We value you as a patient, but more importantly, we treat you like a person."

Office
A Comfortable and Private Office Environment
Our office is modern and tasteful to provide you with a homey, comfortable environment. When you enter our waiting room, you will find a wall-mounted fountain which will instantly make you feel relaxed and welcome. We have designed the office to honor your privacy. The waiting area is separate from the patient meeting area so that you will not come into contact with other patients while you are here.
For your convenience, our office is located near the DC Metro Blue Line so you will not have to worry about fighting traffic, finding parking, or paying for meters when you arrive for your office visit.
A Commitment to Patient Education
We consider patient education to be an important part of your procedure, and Dr. Desman will always take the time to address all of your concerns and goals in depth. Your patient education will begin at your initial consultation, which will last between 30-45 minutes. At this time, Dr. Desman will explain every facet of your desired plastic surgery procedure to you in great detail, discussing both benefits and risks. We will also show you online animations of your procedure to provide a more visual explanation. You will have an opportunity to ask us any questions you may have so that you gain a thorough understanding of what is involved in your procedure before deciding to move forward.
We also encourage you to take advantage of our Patient to Patient Network, which gives you the opportunity to talk directly with past patients who have undergone your desired procedure. These patients can provide you with a unique perspective on what you can expect based on their first-hand experiences. Our doctors will not be present for this conversation in order to ensure that our patients feel comfortable giving completely honest opinions. An Active Member of the Community
For more than a decade, the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery has been an active member of the Northern Virginia community. We participate in the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life” project every year, and we are also involved in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. We hope that through our actions, we can help cancer patients receive the resources they need to get them through this difficult time in their lives.

"Dear Doctor Desman,
"I am so very pleased with my new look. You can never know the extent of all the changes that the breast reduction surgery has brought about in my life, but I have never been so satisfied with the way things are in my life. The surgery changed not only how I look but changed so many other pieces of my life, all for the better."
"I wouldn't have any other plastic surgeon after having been a patient of Dr. Desman's."
"I would recommend him because he is capable & competent & does good work."
"I mentioned to you during one of my follow-up appointments my hope that you enjoy your work as a surgeon. Because of what you are able to do for people, you can give them the opportunity to feel more like who they think they are supposed to be. You don't just remove tissue or move tissues around when you work on your patients; you change lives, you make patients more tolerant of themselves, you help them fit in more with their world, you make them more comfortable with themselves and others. You work a magic that I seem unable to find words to properly describe. I hope that you get real pleasure from being so important to us ... and I hope that you are able to realize the extent of that importance."
"He does excellent work!"
"Dr. Desman has a great bedside manner ... he is straightforward and I would recommend him to all my friends."
"Many people have asked me, since the surgery, if I have had any second thoughts about the surgery ... I have to answer that there are no regrets. Only total satisfaction."
