Testimonials


Testi "I just had my 1 week post-op after breast augmentation. I am already settling very nicely. I am 43 years old and decided that it was time for a little "makeover." my daughter had her breasts done with Dr. Bednar 5 years ago and she is still thrilled with the results. I am very small-framed and am comfortable with a small C now ( I was barely a b after kids). The look is very very natural and totally fits my frame. I did not want the so-called implanted look and wanted people to wonder whether I had them done or not. i definitely do not want to look like Posh Spice with her two balloons. I am very happy and even my daughter thinks that mom looks hot. My only regret is now that I did not do this sooner. My daughter was my "nurse" and it was wonderful that she saw some of the same faces that she had in the recovery room after her own surgery as well as Sandy the anesthetist. Thank you for everything-I am happy to be a member of the Boob club."


Testi "I flew down to Charlotte to have my surgery with Dr. Bednar. I did extensive research on the internet and after looking at before and after photos as well as asking about him in chat rooms and other resources, I decided to have surgery there. He is highly recommended and has a wonderful way of explaining all the details to you. It was definitely worth coming all the way down there even though I could have had the surgery in Maryland. The staff was very very helpful and I felt that I could have not been treated better. It has been one month post-op and I look and feel great & he made me look so natural with my teardrop implants & the size is exactly what I was looking for-medium range C cup & I feel confident and very feminine. Thank you for this wonderful experience & I would do it all over again."


Testi "I had my surgery a few months ago with Dr. Bednar because he came highly recommended and has a great reputation for very natural results and he is also an artist. I love my new breasts and have myself passed his name on to many friends who are interested in the procedure. He is honest and listens to everyone took great care of me and I felt that I had the best care in the world. He is definitely worth the trip if you are from out-of-town."


Testi "Dr. Bednar is an amazing surgeon, plus an accomplished artist. I met Dr. Bednar many year ago when I got kicked in the face by a horse. It was a terrible day, but Dr. Bednar with his calming manner and comforting approach took special care of me. The gash that was left in my face by the horse hoof was jagged and cut completely through. I actually could put my tongue through it. I thought I would have a severe scar from the kick. Dr. Bednar took me in , calmed me down and proceeded to repair the damaged area. When he was finished, he told me not to worry, it would heal and there wouldn't be a awful scar there. I thought, "Yeah right". On my return visit, his welcoming staff greeted me and treated me like I had been coming there for years. I soon was escorted back to one of the treatment rooms where Dr. Bednar promptly proceeded to remove the sutures. His kind temperament and steady hands were very reassuring to me. Once he was finish, he handed me a mirror and said with a Smile, "Take a Look". Well to my surprise, you could hardly see where the large gash had been, other than a little redness where it was still healing, there wasn't this horrible scar like I thought there would be there. The redness soon disappeared and you would not know that anything had ever happened. Since that time, I have been back for several procedures with Dr. Bednar. What I have done is between me and Dr. Bednar (lol). He is brilliant. If you are looking for a Doctor who is at the top of their game, but still listens and has a great bedside manner, then he is the only doctor for you. I know he is the only one for me. Lets not forget his wonderful staff and Sylvia. What can I say about Sylvia? Nothing but, she is fantastic. Charismatic, knowledgeable, and has a delightful personality. All ways ready to help, educate and answer any questions you may have. Dr. Bednar and his wonderful staff will make sure you have the best of care and their attention to detail is exceptional. You will be thrilled with the results. I know I was years ago and they continue to amaze me with the great work they do."


Testi "Dr. Bednar has been my doctor for several years. I have had a few different types of procedures and each one has been amazing. He has the gift of making you look great but not like you have had something done. It is a great compliment when your friends say I know there is something different, you look great and they have no idea you have had plastic surgery. His entire staff treats you like part of their family. You feel as soon as you open the door you are in the right place and will get the best of care and be treated like you were the only patient they had. Words cannot describe the results I have had only that the doctor makes the difference and Dr. Bednar is the right choice. Dr. Bednar is not only a gifted surgeon but knows all about the latest procedures and what is the best for you."


Testi "I am 7 weeks post OP and I am VERY happy with my results. I had a breast lift and augmentation with 480cc's. I was very concerned that I would be too big. I decided to go with Dr. Bedner's opinion on the size and I'm so glad I did, had I gone smaller I would have been so disappointed! I absolutely love the size and I am settling very evenly. Wish I would have had this procedure years ago!"


Testi "I met Dr.Bednar many years ago to Discuss a facelift of which I am planning very soon. I have been getting Botox for many years of which he does so well. He is a true artist. He is so caring & I have seen his work first hand it is absolutely amazing!"


Testi "I had breast augmentation last month and I am more than happy with the results. I opted for the teardrop shape and am a full c/small d with 450 ccs. They look very natural and perfectly fit my frame. I chose Dr. Bednar based upon credentials and a great reputation. Also, he offers more than one implant shape, such as the teardrop, which I was really interested in. Apparently, he has used the implant since inception both for reconstructive and cosmetic reasons. What I really walked away with was an overall great experience with a surgeon who listened and a staff that was very helpful and professional. And, finally I have very beautiful and natural looking breasts that I absolutely love."
