Testimonials


Testi “I have been a patient of Richmond Surgical Arts/Skin Rejuvenation Center for 2+ years. I have been thrilled with all of the skin treatments I have received and with the staff as well. They are not only a very professional and knowledgeable group, but also the friendliest and most accommodating group that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I look forward to each and every visit and know that they will keep me apprised of all the latest and greatest treatments that are out there.”


Testi “At 35, I started to notice that the lines around my eyes were becoming deeper and deeper and my smile became overshadowed by the noticeable change. I finally got up the nerve to try Botox, and what a difference that made! Just a couple of small pricks and the deep creases under and around my eyes seemed to disappear. My face and smile seem softer and more natural and the lines and wrinkles that were bothering me so much before are gone. I tried it on my forehead soon after and the lines across my forehead smoothed out completely; I kept all expressions but lost the wrinkles!”


Testi “I am a 36 year old and found myself struggling with the onset of wrinkles, age spots and even some adult acne. With one treatment of the IPL laser, I noticed a huge difference, revealing skin that looked 10 years younger. The fine lines and sun damaged darker areas on my face improved dramatically, and that was just the first treatment. The procedure was painless and the only side effect was a pink look to my skin that lasted a day. The freckles turned dark in the next few days and within a week they sloughed off to reveal the clear skin underneath. The other laser treatment I tried, The Fraxel, was even better. But not only was I thrilled with my results, my friends couldn’t believe the difference and noticed right away that my skin looked clear, wrinkle free and healthy. My skin has a firmness and glow to it that I haven’t seen since I was 20! There was no downtime with either of these procedures except for some redness and a little swelling in the first 48 hours with the Fraxel-well worth it!”


Testi “I am writing this letter to let other know how pleased I have been with Richmond Surgical Arts. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. They are current on all new procedures and skin treatments. Their care is based on individual needs. I am a 56 year old woman who suffered from acne and sun damage. The skin care nurses designed a skin care routine just for me. I know it has helped my appearance and self-image. You will feel special when you visit them.”

Testi “Dr. Lynam, thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on my lower body lift. You will never know what a difference it has made in my life in such a short period of time. You gave me my self-esteem back after struggling with being morbidly obese for most of my adolescent years. I have now been able to close that chapter in my life and start over. I love shopping for clothes now. Dr. Lynam, you truly make a difference for men and women both in the Richmond area.”

Testi “I have had great results with the skin care treatments I’ve received at RSA. My skin has always been sensitive due to rosacea. My skin has responded well to the skin treatments, becoming more resilient and smooth, as well as losing much of the redness caused by the rosacea. My skin feels ten years younger and I feel confident without make-up for the first time ever!!! Thanks for everything your staff has done to help meet my skin care needs."
K.


Testi “I could never ask for a better staff. Everyone is very professional and helpful. I am 33 years old with very difficult to treat adult acne. Amy has helped me improve the texture and manage my acne with laser skin treatments and skin care regimens. I have also begun laser hair removal with fantastic results.”
S.


Testi “I have enjoyed the services of the skin care specialists at RSA since it began business in Richmond five years ago. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They see clients promptly at their scheduled appointment times and are most willing to work around clients’ scheduling conflicts. Even better, the specialized treatments I have received have given my skin a renewed life with fewer fine lines, elimination of spider veins, and minimization of blemishes. I recommend their services regularly and am happy to say that may of my friends are now clients as well.”

Testi “Dr. Lynam, I just wanted to say thank you very much for the wonderful job you did on my breasts. Having this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I want to thank you and your wonderful staff! I was actually very surprised about my surgery. I had no pain, very little swelling and no bruising. You did an amazing job and I’ll be back for other procedures. I have recommended you to everyone I know who is thinking about plastic surgery.”
S.


Testi “Dr. Lynam, thank you so much for doing such a wonder job with my surgery. I really appreciate it. I was so worried and everything turned out just like I wanted it to. It is so great not to have my big left breast anymore.”
J.


Testi “I just wanted to say thank you for “being there” for a patient in need today. You all were so responsive and accommodating when I called and shared a friend’s encounter with what seemed a lack of empathy. As a nurse, it is always so refreshing when other medical professionals don’t lose sight of the fact that at any moment it could be ourselves or a loved one who needs a helping hand. What a terrible day for my friend turned out to be a great one. I really appreciate it.”

A Promise to My Patients

Today it seems like the old fashioned trusting patient and physician relationship is hard to find. My goal is to establish a trust between us that will allow the best possible outcome from your surgery on both a physical and emotional level. To make this happen we need to focus on a few important issues:

1. Communication – This is probably the most important thing. You need to understand a lot of information in order to decide if surgery is right for you. I will do my best to provide explanations. If you have questions or do not understand please let me know, or if you feel uncomfortable let my staff know. We want to do our best to make you happy.

2. Satisfaction – You must be satisfied with the surgical plan that we have decided upon. If you have reservations or want to make suggestions, please let me know. There are always choices and options to discuss that may be more to your satisfaction.

3. Understanding – Remember that surgery is not an exact science. I promise to do my best but no one can guarantee results. Cosmetic surgery is both an art and a science, and we need to work together to reach your goals.

4. Complications – No one wants a complication. We all know it can happen and we just do not want it to happen to us! My promise is to stand by you before and after surgery and get you on the road to recovery. If there are a few bumps along the road to recovery we will work through them together as quickly and efficiently as possible. This usually means more frequent appointments and sometimes further surgery or hospitalization.

5. Smoking and Surgery –Studies have shown the negative effects of smoking on healing. There is no doubt that smokers have a much greater risk of complications from surgery. Patients having elective cosmetic surgery should not smoke for 3 weeks before and 3 weeks following surgery. During this time you cannot use other nicotine substitutes.
