I am deeply disappointed with my experience and surgical outcome…read more I underwent a liposuction and abdominoplasty with this surgeon and the results were not what was promised or reasonably expected. The incision was placed approximately 2 cm higher than where it should have been, causing my belly button to sit noticeably higher and giving my waist a squared appearance rather than a contoured one. Despite undergoing liposuction, there is still noticeable residual fat remaining on my abdomen. In addition, the incision was closed without adequate tightening, leaving visible bulging above and below the incision that creates a quilted or puckered appearance. I now have a pooch that I did not have prior to surgery. Liposuction of my flanks and lower back was missed entirely -- not once, but twice. I even underwent a second liposuction procedure, and the flanks were still not properly addressed. The ends of the incision also have what appear to be "dog ears," further affecting the cosmetic outcome. Despite raising these concerns, providing photos, and attempting to have a reasonable discussion, the surgeon would not acknowledge the issues or take responsibility. I was repeatedly told that "no harm was done," and therefore no refund or corrective support was offered, even though the agreed-upon services and expected results were not delivered. This has been an emotionally and physically difficult experience. I am now seeking revision care elsewhere. Based on my outcome and the lack of accountability afterward, I would not recommend this surgeon to anyone considering body contouring procedures. Feel free to reach out 540-336-8162 for more info of my experience with this surgeon. Happy to provide more before and after photos as well. See this surgeon results in attached photos.

This is my preliminary review based on services so far. I'll go back and update after the surgery…read moreitself, and again after my recovery period (3 months). I've seen Dr Sundin at this practice for my upcoming liposuction. He was very friendly, professional, and thorough in explaining my options, treatment, follow up, and answered all my questions. My surgery is tomorrow and I feel very confident thanks to the doctor. Based on the outline I've been given, I don't expect hidden fees (obviously if that changes I'll say something). I have already gotten my medication for post surgery recovery so I won't have to worry about running astound, exhausted and in pain waiting to get my meds. Everyone has been super friendly and helpful and despite youse being elective surgery, no one has come even close to body shaming me which I appreciate. I'm happy with my body and weight, with the single exception that I'm going in to address. At no point did the doctor attempt to disparage any part of my body, even what I came in to address, only asked what I wanted. Edit: Post surgery I can't tell if the hospital tried to double charge me or if there was a genuine computer issue, but the intake rep was great and only charged the correct amount. The lead up in hospital was friendly and helpful, answered all my questions ahead of time. My follow up is later today since one of my incision sites is leaking. Overall, I'm very sore, but only in minor (threatening to verge into extreme) pain when I move or make to stand up. My legs feel fine so I keep thinking I should walk around, but I know better thankfully. The drainage site is right at my panty line so I'm having to wear my panties a few inches lower than I normally do which is a little annoying but whatever. Depending on when surgery is, I definitely recommend dresses immediately following to accommodate access to drainage bulbs. I left around 5pm yesterday and got home and settled at 6pm after my scheduled start asst 12 noon. That's all I can think to share that's relevant but if I think of more, I will of course edit.

Went in to have them look a spot on my cheek that was a bit disconcerting and before I knew what…read morewas happing the nurse/PA/? was zapping something on my forehead with a laser. She said the spot on my cheek was nothing but was happy to charge me a few hundred bucks for whatever she did to my forehead. It's now 2 years later and the spot that got zapped has turned red and will not heal. I did not intend to leave a review today. I was searching for a dermatologist to take a look at this new problem area and ended up here.

was determined that Dr. Rauch would perform the procedure upon my arrival I provided my debit card…read morefor the co-pay. Now that my personal information had been captured I was also provided with a document stating that I would be responsible for any charges that the insurance would not cover up to the amount of $1500.00. This organization stated that they would have full access to my personal account and could make withdrawals at will and I would be notified via email prior to the withdrawal. At that very moment I felt extremely uncomfortable with the arrangement but thinking that I would be adequately notified I would be able to adjust accordingly. Here's where the whole program falls apart. Taking it from the top the first charge, a $25.00 co-pay was debited from my account on 08/16/2016. The second charge of $51.41 was debited from my account on 09/06/2016 and I was never notified. Approximately a week later I was debited with a charge of $104.00 again not notified. I caught this in process and asked it be stricken and a stop put on any further charges, (date cannot be provided because it is no longer on the ledger,) action was reversed. On 09/13/2016 I get hit a second time for the same charge of $104.00 and this time it has been processed, a temporary credit was issued and was reversed on 11/30/2016 finding no fault on the part of your organization. Now mind you, this organization hit my account three times in a period of only seven days with each and every time I have not been notified. Suddenly I'm an ATM for Christine Rauch! I reiterate, I was NEVER notified by email, (or any other form for that matter) of any impending withdrawal. Closer examination of the documents forwarded to me from the banking institution had revealed that one of their staff had input my email address incorrectly as baherden@verizon.net instead of the correct address. Given that this can prove to be a most critical factor it would behoove Dr Rauch and her staff to confirm this information rather than take it for granted. Clearly this organization deserves to be paid, I don't take issue with that. I take issue with this organization being paid at the expense of cleaning out my bank account and leaving me with not so much as enough cash to buy gas in order to go to work the next morning. I am currently 68 years of age, (was 63 at the time of the procedure.) I have an advanced education in aviation, I am grossly underemployed as well as under paid. Since I do live paycheck to paycheck these people have absolutely no idea what it's like to have your checking account cleaned out and you have to knock on someone's door at five in the morning hoping to borrow $20.00 so you can get to work? It's coming to the point where it's no longer a service for a fee, it's all about sucking someone's bank account dry. It's beginning to feel like it's a contest to see who can empty my bank account first. I understand that Dr. Rauch's husband is an emergency room triage doctor. Everyone should be justly compensated for their knowledge and intelligence. Between the two of them I'm willing to wager that together they are knocking down half a million a year. It's really a shame that they have to resort to unscrupulous means to accomplish their wealth. Having worked as a trained and licensed aircraft mechanic were my associates and myself are required to maintain and fly aircraft, were the aviation field to be handled like this office has handled my account there would be a bunch of broken aircraft, a whole lot of dead people and someone would most certainly be going to jail. The medical treatment was excellent, the way I was treated on the business side of the house is absolutely deplorable. If I had to do it again and was diagnosed stage four cancer I would turn and walk the other way rather than to be subjected to this kind of abuse. Brings new meaning to the aged term, "A license to steal." Makes me wonder if a crime has been committed?

He surpassed my expectations in every conceivable way, particularly with my complex scar revision case--a challenge that several other doctors had declined. My only lament is that I did not discover him sooner, which would have saved me from initial disappointments. Dr. Bautista is truly an artist in his field, possessing an extraordinary blend of technical skill and aesthetic vision that sets him apart. From the outset, Dr. Bautista and his dedicated team demonstrated an unparalleled level of attention, responsiveness, and genuine care for my well-being throughout the entire surgical process, from the initial consultation through to the post-operative recovery. Their approach was both professional and profoundly personal, making me feel valued and understood at every step of my journey. The outcome of the surgery has been nothing short of transformative, exceeding my most optimistic expectations. I am immensely pleased with the results, which have significantly improved not only my appearance but also my confidence and quality of life. Given my overwhelmingly positive experience, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Bautista to anyone seeking a plastic surgeon. His exceptional expertise, coupled with his and his team's compassionate care, make him an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their appearance. My friends and family, or indeed anyone considering plastic surgery, will hear my highest recommendation for Dr. Bautista and his practice. Dr. Harold Bautista, MD, FACS, is a prominent board-certified plastic surgeon working at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg in Virginia. His expertise lies in Platysmaplasty (neck lift), mini-face lift, body contouring and breast enhancement procedures, which include mommy makeovers, breast augmentation, breast lifts, liposuction with VASER and SmartLipo, and abdominoplasty. Dr. Bautista graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science from IONA College in New Rochelle, NY, and earned his Doctor of Medicine from New York Medical College. He is affiliated with Mary Washington Hospital and Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center .

I'm writing this review one month post-operatively regarding Dr. Joe Niamtu's work and staff. For…read morethe record, mine was a 4.5 hour procedure under full-anesthesia and included upper and lower blepharoplasty, face lift, neck lift, chin implant, and full CO2 laser resurfacing. Not a small undertaking. Although additional enhancement procedures such as cheek implants and a lip-lift were options offered, none were pushed on me and I chose not to add either. A child of the hippie and feminist era, I never thought I would consider such a denial of my authentic self! I started my dialog with the staff in May of 2025, put money down in June, with a surgical date established in September of 2025. Though living far from Richmond, I had done my research prior to scheduling and was reassured that I had selected the right surgeon by the website, testimonials, and video tutorials of Dr. Niamtu which thoroughly prepared me for what was to happen. That being said, I had LOTS of questions before and after. Dr. Niamtu has addressed all of them with understanding and patience. If questions concerned other members of his staff, such as the anesthesiologist or the surgical nurse, he had them contact me directly. In the preoperative appointment, he and I went over the results I expected, and he clarified exactly what could and could not be done. Despite the understandable anxiety of going under the knife, he and his staff made me feel safe and every concern was attended to before and in the post-operative weeks that I was in the area. I wondered if after I left I would get the same responsiveness from them, figuring that once the car is bought and paid for, the dealer takes his money and runs, but that is hardly the case with Dr. Niamtu. My concerns during the healing process continue to be addressed. Being from out of town, I chose to stay in the Richmond area a full two weeks after the surgery. I wisely chose Susanne Singer as my caretaker. I would have stayed longer if Dr. Niamtu had indicated it was necessary, but he gave me the green light to get on the plane at the 2-week point. Surgical nurse, Breeden Browning, was excellent for her skill, but also when I talked to her woman-to-woman about how to maintain my results going forward. I am still healing, but I got just what I wanted, a younger version of me. I had had a good run as a somewhat attractive woman for many years, but at 75 could no longer enjoy what I saw in the mirror. This surgery ensures my last years will be celebrating what I see there. I look like my 55-year-old self, which wasn't bad at all! Can't thank everyone-surgeon, surgical nurses, anesthesiologist, and admin staff enough. Now I know why everyone said in advance, you won't be sorry.

Negative Plastic Surgery Experience…read more I'm sharing disappointing experience with Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. In Jun 2024, I underwent a lower face and neck lift. I had also paid for earlobe reconstruction. This procedure was forgotten due to missing paperwork. At follow-ups, concerns about loose chin skin were met with suggestions to wait or try costly treatments like Genius microneedling ($2,550). When dissatisfaction persisted, further surgeries were discouraged and more expensive treatments were recommended. In Jan 2025, after continued dissatisfaction, Dr. Reps Sundin advised that no additional procedures should be performed under the chin. He recommended a Browlift and Upper Blepharoplasty, with an estimated total cost of $10,650. When I told Dr. Sundin that I had recently retired, he said that I am now on a fixed income. His comment implied that I probably could not afford his services anymore. In Feb 2025, another plastic surgeon in Richmond Va, commented that my neck should have been pulled tighter.

Every interaction I had with Dr. Stanwix and his team, whether by phone or in-person, left me feeling heard, seen, and understood, as I made the decision to remove my implants and start a new chapter on my physical health and wellness journey. Kind, courteous, knowledgeable, attentive to detail, supportive of my concerns, were hallmarks of my interactions not only with Dr. Stanwix, but with each member of his team. Dr. Stanwix did an amazing job performing my surgery and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. Many talented doctors, particularly specialists, do amazing work, but fall short when it comes to support and communication with their patients. This is certainly not the case with Dr. Stanwix! I have complete confidence that as I continue to heal I will be welcome to contact him with any follow-up questions or concerns I might have, and that he won't make me feel like a nuisance, in fact, he has personally encouraged me to stay in touch with him and his team and to reach out if or whenever I feel the need. This kind of post-op follow-up should be the norm, but all too often it doesn't seem to be. Thank you, again, Dr. Stanwix and many thanks to your lovely team of professionals that collaborate with you and have clearly been inspired by your caring demeanor and professional integrity! You have certainly set the bar extremely high for any other healthcare professional that I will consider entrusting my health, time, and money to.
