"Since high school, I have constantly struggled to feel confident with my "boyish figure." Although the thought of plastic surgery lingered throughout my teenage years, I decided (at 24) to seriously investigate the possibility of breast augmentation. Two family friends had been to Dr. Freedman for the same procedure, and because of their satisfaction with their experience, they encouraged me to contact his office. I scheduled a consultation through Dayna and that weekend I drove 7.5 hours from my home in Charlotte, NC to Northern Virginia.
"Dr. Bruce Freedman gave me a minor facelift at the end of May 2010, and I can honestly say I am beyond satisfied.
"Last February I decided to so some research about the different procedures available to eliminate spider veins from both of my legs. I then decided that laser treatment was the best choice for me and a friend recommended Plastic Surgery Associates of Northern Virginia. She also gave me the name of Bob Earley, who is their Laser Treatment Specialist. I called and made an appointment for a consultation to have questions answered and to see how I felt about proceeding with the treatments. My questions were all answered to my satisfaction and I made an appointment at that time for my first treatment. I have been extremely pleased with my results and only wish I had had the procedure done earlier. Bob was very professional and walked me through each treatment. I always felt at ease and confident in what he was doing. I highly recommend the Plastic Surgery Associates of Northern Virginia and Bob Earley if you are thinking about having this procedure done. The results can be dramatic!"
"This is a letter of appreciation to you and Linda Caballero for the excellent care, skillful procedure, follow-up and professionalism I received before, during and after my breast reduction. Dr. Freedman, you did a fantastic job and I am very pleased with my results.
"I decided to have breast augmentation five years ago and did a lot of research on doctors in the Metro area. I instantly felt comfortable with Dr. Freedman and his staff from the initial phone call and consultation. They made sure that I was knowledgeable of the procedure from the beginning to the end. Linda, a fabulous nurse, knew exactly the look I was trying to achieve and together with Dr. Freedman exceeded my expectations. I have friends that have had the same surgery, but they’re not nearly as thrilled as I am even after all these years!
In fact, Dr. Friedman and his staff were so great; I recently sought them to perform liposuction to lower portions of my body that I couldn’t get reduced through exercise and dieting. Again, I am in awe of the fabulous results and it has only been 5 weeks! Thanks to Dr. Freedman and his entire staff because they are the reason this will be my first summer on the beach in a string bikini…without shorts!"
"I am thrilled with my choice to have breast augmentation at age 45! My only regret is that I waited so long to do it! After raising my three children and going thru the rigors of peri-menopause, my GYN encouraged me to consider the option so I could regain my youthful looks. He stated that many women are choosing breast augmentation (and other cosmetic procedures) in order to make the most of the second half of their life. He referred me to three top surgeons and I chose Dr. Bruce Freedman. Dr. Freedman is extremely reputable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, takes a sincere interest in his patients, and he knows how to make a woman look her best. He listened carefully to my needs and fears, completely discussed breast augmentation with me, showed me hundreds of photos, and let me meet with a few of his recent patients in private and see first hand the results of his work. After meeting with him, I quickly scheduled the surgery and couldn't wait to do it! Dr. Freedman and his staff prepared me completely as to what to expect, and there were no surprises. I endured about four days of discomfort and then it became fun! I am thrilled with my new enhanced and very natural look. I don't expect to ever have any complications, but I would not hesitate to return to Dr. Freedman's office should the need ever arise. Having spent over two years researching breast augmentation, considering the options, and ultimately being a patient of Dr. Freedman's, I feel very qualified to HIGHLY recommend him. Don't be scared to have it done (as I was for many years). It is simple, safe and a very rewarding choice to make! Call Dr. Freedman today and schedule your consultation! Life is short!"
"I would like to address this letter to Dr. Freedman and his extremely professional staff. Thank you, Dr. Freedman, for the genuine care and concern you gave me during my surgical procedures last month, and for your continual patience and reassurance during the post operative time. You and your staff made my experience as pleasant as you possibly could and went out of your way to tack care of me. Your nurse, Elizabeth, called my home after surgery to make sure I was feeling okay. Little things mean a lot, and I appreciate all that you and your staff did to make sure that I was feeling okay both physically and emotionally by calming my apprehensions and answering all my questions.
"Protruding fat pads around the lower lids create the appearance of "bags". Removing the fat and tightening the skin improves the overall appearance around the eyes. Two different techniques are available depending on age and skin elasticity. The first uses an incision under the lower lid lashline. The fat is removed and excess skin is excised. In the second technique, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid and the fat removed. Another alternative is the use of a skin resurfacing laser to tighten the skin.Dr Freedman performed a breast lift on me recently and I am very pleased with the outcome. After having gastric bypass surgery my breasts became very droopy (more than they had ever been) and I had a lot of loose skin. I never imagined that I would need to have this done but it got to that point. I came to see you for a consultation and knew you were the doctor I wanted to perform my surgery. You and your office were very kind and went over everything thoroughly which was very reassuring.
