Thank you Dr. Freedman! You have again provided me with results that exceeded my expectations. To let readers know, Dr. Freedman has performed eyelid surgery on me in May 2015 under local anesthesia. In all honesty, it was a scary decision for me to make, but Dr. Freedman and his staff had already secured my trust and belief in their dedication and skill when I first came to him to perform my mid-face lift in October 2014, which was performed under general anesthesia. I want to let people know that, in my experience, Dr. Freedman provides results that will support personnel goals and objectives with natural results. As my results show, he has a skilled surgical talent backed by his board-certified plastic surgeon certification, current knowledge-base, extensive 25-year plus experience, an exceptional surgical team and office staff. People should know that from the moment you walk in the door for a consultation you are greeted by a kind and professional staff to the last day of your follow-up visit where you feel as though you have known each of them for a long time. Dr. Freedman and his staff are kind in heart and professional and skilled at their specific jobs, which has made an environment that is trusting and comfortable in making it possible for me to make decisions that are right for me! I think it is so important for readers to know that Dr. Freedman is very informative and shows patience in answering all questions in an understandable straightforward and kind manner without any pressure. It seems to me to be especially important because this surgery is elective and the choice feels like an immense responsibility on me to make a well-informed and right decision for me. Surgery from the Patient Perspective: I thought I would share what I experienced from the eyelid surgery. It starts a couple weeks prior to your surgery when you are provided medication prescriptions to get filled prior to your surgical date. You take the filled perscriptions with you on the day of surgery. In the office the morning of your surgery you will be asked to take your medication about an hour prior to the surgery. By the time you are in the surgical suite you really are relaxed...much to my surprise in all honesty. Unlike my mid-face lift performed under general anesthesia, the eyelid surgery was performed under local anesthesia. The anesthesia is delivered by a needle that quite frankly was the most challenging part of the surgery and the recovery combined. However, it is very doable even if you're nervous about such things...I was, and they are careful to minimize your discomfort successfully. During the surgery you can feel small tugs, but you honestly have no pain! Time is much distorted, but to your surprise...it's over and you're escorted to a room where you can sleep off the medication for a couple hours. I was thirsty and they keep making sure you have enough water to drink and check in with you routinely to see how you are doing. You'll need to have someone you trust get you back home since your vision will be too blurry to drive. They needed to convince me of that part...I was sure I could drive...not! This is caused by the lubricant put in your eyes for the surgery and the surgical steri strips put on your eyelids over the incisions for the healing process. You are given pain medication, which you brought with you. At home I took the antibiotics as instructed and only took half a pain pill as a precaution to mitigate pain that night before I went to sleep...however, I never had any pain post-surgery! Never took another pain pill! I saw Dr. Freedman in a couple days post-surgery and met with Elizabeth, his nurse and him to remove the sutures. Oh BTW, don't trim the sutures! Dah...it made it a challenge for them to pull the sutures out. I had some minor swelling and bruising for about a week that I covered with Bare Minerals makeup. I stayed out of the sun as instructed and wore sunglasses when I did go outside to protect my eyes. I'm now out two weeks and I think I look great (one of the few times you get to say that about yourself without sounding smug...LOL)!! It was sooooooo worth it!! read more

As a soon-to-be 50 year old who has taken good care of herself, I was for years bothered by the loose skin around my neck because it aged me relative to how I felt and looked overall. Years of expensive creams proved ineffective so I started doing online research on all my other options to finally correct this visible problem area. I decided to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to objectively discuss all of my options and was referred to Dr. Bruce Freedman. In my initial consultation, Dr. Freedman took great care listening to me and then explaining the pros and cons of each option. He ultimately advised that surgery was the best option to help me obtain my desired outcome. Part of my decision to proceed was because he clearly explained what I should expect relative to the procedure and recovery process. And his nursing staff was courteous and professional every step of the way. The procedure was performed in his Tyson's Corner office accredited operating room and the team did everything to make me as comfortable as possible. After the surgery, my pain and swelling were manageable and I was able to mask the minor bruising with makeup. Less than a week later I was back at work. My biggest apprehension was how the incisions would heal. They are so faint and smooth; even my hairdresser commented how great they looked. A few months have since passed, I've had absolutely no doubts I was in the very best hands with Dr. Freedman, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. read more

Back in June I had my eyelids done, after much debating (in my own mind). I was naturally very apprehensive since I was having plastic surgery on my face. However, after meeting Dr Freedman and his amazing staff, my apprehensions quickly went away. He discussed the procedure with me and right away I knew I was with a very competent, intelligent and confident surgeon who is very passionate about his work. This was all evident in my results. I have received so many compliments for which I commend and thank Dr Freedman. The cost was also very reasonable, (and was some of the best money I ever spent). Consider yourself fortunate that you have found such an accomplished and truly skilled surgeon. In fact, I was so pleased with my results that I went back for seconds. I recently had a tummy tuck. I'll save that testimonial for another time. Once again I couldn't be happier. So don't think twice about it - just remember, you are worth it! You are investing in yourself. My advice.....just do it, you'll be glad you did!! You're in good hands. Melanie read more

I had a very big accident in my school. My friend and I were playing with what looked like cardboard, but inside of it was a very sharp blade. I was holding it when my friend grabbed it from me. The blade unraveled and cut me so deep. Blood was quickly pouring out of the open wound, and so I was quickly taken to the Stone Spring Hospital in Chantilly, Virginia. There they called Dr. Freedman to do the surgery. He came in very orderly and was so informative about my injury. He knew exactly what I had cut and knew how to fix it. I was taken into the operative room under anesthesia , so I do not know exactly what happened. After the surgery was finished he gave my parents some tips on how to get the best results. Than every week or so we went to his office to get it checked. He always had a smile on and no matter how down things got he always approached it in a positive manner. I would recommend this surgeon to anyone who is looking for the best care and treatment. read more

After having my children at such an early age I have always dreamt of having this procedure done. After consulting with Bruce I felt calm and confident that all would be okay. His willingness to discuss/explain everything to me and my boyfriend gave me a sense of comfort and enabled me to continue with the procedure. I'd like to point out his staff from the receptionist to the nurses as well. From the start the entire staff was helpful, friendly, informative and supporting. It made the process seamless and it showed that you all really cared about patients. Special thanks to Elizabeth for her attention to detail, explaining the procedure and comforting me throughout the process. Elizabeth answered all our questions and continued to follow-up, she was definitely a beacon of light through the recovery process. Bruce's skill and knowledge played a major role in my recovering so well and so quickly. I truly feel that I owe my new look and confidence to Bruce . read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Bruce Freedman and his office staff. After having three children, I wanted to do something for myself. A few of my friends had breast implants done by Dr. Freedman and they all look great. I got up enough nerve to go in for a consultation and I am so glad that I did. His staff is so warm and caring. Dr. Freedman took the time to really educate me about my surgery. Its great that they have their own accredited surgical suite and use board certified anesthesiologists. I was thankful that I was not rushed nor did they have a "hard sell" approach. I had a breast augmentation and lift. I didn't want to go to big and I felt that Dr. freedman really listened to what I wanted. A nurse called me the night of my surgery to check on me and I thought that was really sweet. I now have natural and perky looking breasts that I absolutely love. I don't regret it at all. I would highly recommend Dr. Freedman! read more

LOVE the Dermaceutic Spot Treatment System by Precision MD! I have seen a dramatic difference in the reduction of brown spots and fine lines around my lips and eyes! The treatment takes 15 minutes in the doctor's office. My skin was slightly pink and I experienced mild flaking for 3 days after the treatment. I was able to return to work the next day. I had tried the IPL laser treatment in Charlottesville, VA. and saw no improvement in brown spots or wrinkles. The cost for the Dermaceutic Spot Treatment is minimal $550.00 which includes your skin care cleansers, hydrating and recovery creams. I would highly recommend this procedure as opposed to the IPL. Dr. Freedman is a wonderful doctor and he really takes time to talk with you and address your skin care needs. I am truly sold on this product and look forward to buying more skincare products from Precision MD. read more

Dr. Freedman has made me feel confident, pretty and greatly increased my happiness factor with his thoughtful and careful touch. I receive many compliments about my appearance - from my husband most of all! Dr. Freedman and his wonderful staff take significant time to understand exactly what the patient wants and explain the procedure/s that will achieve the goal. Regardless of what I needed to know pre or post procedure, Dr. Freedman and his staff fully and patiently responded to my questions. They made me feel right "at home" and always did or said something special, something extra, to make the call or visit a lovely one. I would recommend Dr. Freedman and his staff to everyone who desires superb surgical expertise and care, a consistently warm welcome and an unexpectedly special experience. read more

I decided to do a abdominoplasty with much trepidation as despite years of exercise and weightloss, my tummy bulge or muscle tear after 3 kids, would not go down. I found Dr. Freedmans name on the internet and despite meeting others, chose him after my first consultation as he was warm and sincere. I felt comfortable from the get go with him and his staff. I am now two weeks after surgery and although i am still healing, I am thrilled with the results and with his post operative care. His bedside manner is amazing and at no point does he make you feel rushed during his consultations. I am a visitor from overseas, hence it was important that i had a good surgeon. Even his staff is very well informed and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Freedman and his staff. read more

I am 26 years old and I've been wanting to get a breast augmentation since I was in highschool. One of my best friends from college had her breast augmentation done by Dr. Freedman and she highly recommends Dr. Freedman. So I did some research online and decided to go see Dr. Freedman. I was very nervous about the procedure but Dr. Freedman and his staff made me feel so comfortable! They are extremely kind and caring. It has been 6 months since I had my surgery and I am so happy that I went to Dr. Freedman!! I have absolutely no regrets and I love the results!!! My sister is scheduled for her surgery and I am taking my mother for her facelift consultation. I highly recommend Dr. Freedman. I wouldn't even think of seeing anyone else!! :) read more

Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After the cancer had been removed, Dr. Freedman reconstructed my breast then lifted the other side to make my breasts look equal. The whole process was very emotional and physically challenging. However, Dr. Freedman and his wonderful team of nurses helped me through the difficult times. They were always available and answered all of my questions about the recovery process. My scars have healed well and I am very pleased with the result. Of course, I am most happy that I am cancer free and cannot express enough gratitude to all the medical providers who helped save my life. read more

I was concerned about my complexion and the rough texture of my skin. I went to see Dr. Bruce Freedman for a chemical peel. He discussed the different kinds of peels and chose one that addressed my problems and fit my budget. His staff especially Joanna were courteous and informative. After the treatment my skin was radiant and I really felt better about myself. And I learned a lot about skincare so that I can take care of my skin for years to come. I would highly recommend Dr. Freedman to my friends and family. read more

5 years ago I had an upper lid blepharoplasty done by Dr. Freedman and I had a great result. I always get compliments on my eyes and no one knows that I had any surgery.

Finding the right cosmetic surgeon is important but I can highly recommend Dr. Freedman if you are considering eyelid surgery. read more
