Office

At Plastic Surgery Seattle, we offer you a comfortable and relaxed setting with modern technology and friendly service. Our cosmetic procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art surgical suite where safety is paramount and our patients' comfort comes first.

Please ask us any questions you may have regarding a specific procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Gottlieb will thoroughly discuss both external enhancements and internal structural corrections that may be of benefit to you. Dr. Gottlieb also uses computerized facial imaging and color photography to evaluate your attributes so that you and he jointly decide on the most beneficial treatment. This imaging method is helpful in planning your surgical procedures, and the photos become a part of a before-and-after comparison. We encourage you to ask questions during your consultation to ensure you have explored all avenues before a final decision is made.

It is our desire that you leave our practice feeling more confident and knowledgeable about cosmetic surgery and the benefits that it can provide to improve your quality of life!

Testi "Dear Dr. Gottlieb,

From the moment of my first consultation, I felt secure and confident that I had made the right decision to have breast augmentation surgery, and that I had chosen the best surgeon and staff to enhance my needs.

You and your staff provided me with much needed information about my procedure as well as any questions, concerns, or fears that I had at the time.

I entered this decision to have surgery with the notion that this was going to be a huge procedure followed by pain, as do many people when they have an operation. I could not have been more wrong. First of all, this was the best decision I could have ever made for myself and I am thrilled with the results. The surgery was a piece of cake and was over before I knew it. Given the chance to do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat!

You made my experience extremely positive - everyone took such good care of me!

Thank you for everything, and I would like you to know that I would recommend you to anyone!"

Testi "I was very pleased with everything to do with my surgery - from the consultation until now, 6 months after the surgery. Everyone at Dr. Gottlieb's office treated me very well and seemed to go out of their way to make sure I was happy.

I would recommend Dr. Gottlieb to friends or anyone who might be interested in breast augmentation."

Testi "I recently received services from Plastic Surgery Seattle and Dr. Jourdan Gottlieb and wanted to share information regarding my experience.

First, I would like to share that I spent several months conducting research to ensure I understood all of my options, procedures and associated impacts of this type of surgery. It was very important to me that I was making the most informed decision before proceeding with the process. In addition to what I had researched, Dr. Gottlieb and staff provided me with additional details to educate me and assist me with making this important decision.

Dr. Gottlieb performed several procedures for me (tummy tuck, liposuction in two areas). After having 2 cesarean section births,d there was quite a bit of work needed to get the results I was looking for. My expectations have been exceeded and I am extremely happy with my results.

Dr. Gottlieb and his staff (Anna, Danika and Shelly) were incredibly professional, thorough and supportive throughout the entire process. Every step from scheduling, consultation appointment, surgery and all post operative support were nothing short of stellar. It is clear to me that they have a genuine desire to ensure their clients are satisfied and that their concerns and questions are addressed appropriately. I feel completely confident in their abilities.

There are several friends/colleagues that I have and will refer to their office for similar procedures. I have no doubt that they will have the same level of satisfaction and will experience the outstanding level of service that I was provided.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of me and making what could have been a very stressful experience, pleasurable."

Testi "I am writing this letter in order to share the experience I have had with Dr. Jourdan Gottlieb.

When I first started looking for a Plastic Surgeon to perform my breast augmentation, I was extremely picky and very selective. I wanted a doctor, staff, and environment with which I felt comfortable and at home. After six different consultations with various surgeons, I saw Dr. Gottlieb. From the moment I walked in until the time I left until the time I left from my consultation, I felt positive that this was the doctor and staff I trusted enough to perform the surgery that would change my life.

I had the surgery done almost a year ago, and could not be happier with the results. The treatment and care I received from Dr. Gottlieb and the staff was phenomenal. Any questions or concerns I had prior to the surgery or after the surgery were always welcomed and answered with the highest quality. I would definitely recommend, as I have already, to anyone, to anyone considering this surgery to use Dr. Gottlieb because of the genuine way he deals with his patients and exceptional service he and his staff provide each individual.

Thanks again for the great results!"
P.B.


Testi "I'd like to start by saying what a wonderful experience I've had with Dr. Gottlieb. I was sort of frightened about getting my surgery, but Dr. Gottlieb and his staff made me so comfortable, and offered answers to my questions any time I had one to ask! All of the information they provided was very easy to understand, and very to the point. The day of my surgery, I was so excited to see everyone! They are very personal, more like friends than a medical staff. I felt as if I was enjoying myself at a spa, rather than getting surgery! I have already referred Dr. Gottlieb to a couple of "serious" people and will continue to do so."

Testi "I felt compelled to write a letter of appreciation for the service I received as a client of Dr. Gottlieb and his staff. Initially, I had had a physical exam and consultation by three different reputable plastic surgeons, including Dr. Gottlieb. I chose Dr. Gottlieb because of the friendly professional attitudes from the receptionist to the surgical nurses. I felt I was having a shared experience.

After having the good fortune to breast feed two babies, I had almost no breast volume left. For years afterward, I felt self-conscious, even with my husband. I used external breast enhancers, but I was uncomfortable in locker rooms and even medical exams. I only ever spoke of my feelings to my husband and my closest friend, and neither one understood how it affected me.

After my first visit and consultation with Dr. Gottlieb, I felt confident that breast augmentation would put all of those feelings of having inadequate breasts behind me. I found out that I was not alone and that many women feel strongly about their self-image and have the courage to make changes to feel better about themselves.

The surgery was almost two years ago and I still feel it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I don't even think about the enhancement, as such, because it is so much a part of me now. I am truly happy with the results. I feel I'm height/weight proportionate and I have a more confident self image. I am forever grateful to Dr. Gottlieb and his staff, and I would be happy to give support and testimony to anyone considering this type of enhancement."
