Mommy Makeover in Washington, D.C.

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt review of the exceptional plastic surgeon, Dr. Arjun P. Kanuri, who guided me through a life-changing Mommy Makeover journey from two years ago, that included abdominoplasty and breast reduction procedures. Dr. Arjun P. Kanuri's unmatched passion, unwavering expertise, and unparalleled commitment to patient care have truly transformed not only my physical appearance but also my confidence and overall well-being. From my initial consultation, it was evident that Dr. Kanuri possessed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by mothers seeking to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. Their empathetic and compassionate approach immediately put me at ease, allowing me to openly share my concerns and goals without judgment. Dr. Kanuri listened attentively and tailored a customized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs, ensuring that my Mommy Makeover would be a truly transformative experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kanuri to any mother considering a Mommy Makeover procedure. His unmatched passion, unwavering expertise, and commitment to patient satisfaction have resulted in a truly transformative experience for me. Dr. Kanuri has not only restored my body but has also reignited my self-confidence and empowered me to embrace the beauty of motherhood. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri for your remarkable skill, compassionate care, and unwavering dedication to helping women achieve their dreams.

The best plastic surgeon in the DMV. The attention and care he gives his patients is world-class. He is very attentive to what his patient wants and is looking to accomplish. Dr. Kanuri did my mommy makeover (breast augmentation w/lift, tummy tuck w/ ab reconstruction, and lipo 360). In my mid-40s and I finally have the body of my dreams! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance - improve - revise!

Hands down from beginning to end of my procedure, Dr. Rao and his staff were all amazing! They were able to answer all of my questions at all my appointments as well as via email. With this being my first ever procedure I was nervous and excited all at the same time. Dr. Rao without a doubt is a magician and he worked his magic!! I can't thank him and his team enough for all their great work!! Without a doubt I highly recommend Dr. Rao for any procedure but especially for a mommy makeover!! If you are still doing your research look no further because Dr. Rao is the best in his class and he will not disappoint.

Highly recommend Dr. Rao and his team, they are the utmost of professionals. I had a "mommy makeover" (drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo of hips and back, and 520 cc breast augmentation (no lift)). The whole process... from consultation, my 'second guessing' appt, pre-op, and post-op has been nothing short of wonderful. Dr. Rao is a combination of caring, patient, and skillful. Also worth mentioning, his office manager Laramie is THE sweetest and all the nurses I met are fabulous. Seriously, dream team. If you are doing your research looking for a great surgeon, great experience, and great price... book a consultation with Dr. Rao! He, and his techniques, have exceeded my expectations.

Got a breast reduction and I’m so glad I did. I am now 7 months post op and pleased with my results. Went on my first vacation since my surgery and was able to wear clothes I previously wouldn’t be able to and didn’t have to wear a bra. Total game changer. Thanks Dr. Rao!

I came to Dr. Albino from another local surgeon, hoping to get a more encouraging second opinion after a double mastectomy and breast cancer treatment. Not only did I get an encouraging second opinion, my results are far greater than anything I expected. My reconstruction journey started with expanders, and for months I heard "you won't love your results but you'll be ok with them one day," and this was hard to grasp. I couldn't imagine looking in the mirror and seeing the remnants of cancer for the rest of my life. Dr. Albino gave me so much hope and optimism that I could be happy with my results. I had an implant and fat grafting revision with Dr. Albino almost 3 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with everything! Not only am I ok, I love the way I look. I feel like me again. I have recommended him to everyone I know, and cannot sing his praises enough. He is meticulous and professional, but has amazing bedside manner and true compassion for this difficult journey. The office staff is pleasant, and Heather has responded to about 80 emails from me without a single complaint. I am so grateful for this practice that gave me my confidence and my body back. If you have the opportunity to work with Dr. Albino I highly recommend him!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FIVE STARS — TRULY LIFE-CHANGING I had been thinking about having a breast reduction for years, but I kept putting it off because I was scared and nervous about surgery. From the moment I came to the Center for Plastic Surgery, so much of that fear disappeared. My experience with both the Chevy Chase and Tysons offices has been amazing. I especially want to thank the entire Chevy Chase staff, from the front desk to everyone who helped me along the way. They were kind, patient, supportive, and never hesitated to help me with anything I needed. One day I even got lost trying to find the office, and someone walked about a block to come find me and help me get there. That kind of care says everything. A very special thank-you to Dr. Arjun P. Kanuri, who performed my surgery. He is an excellent doctor and a genuinely great guy. He is cool, patient, easy to talk to, and his personality is outstanding. He made me feel comfortable, listened to me, answered my questions, and never made me feel rushed. I truly felt that I was in good hands. I also want to thank everyone who was part of my operating-room team and the hospital staff who cared for me before, during, and after surgery. When I came out of surgery, they were still right there for me, making sure I was okay and helping me through those first moments of recovery. I will never forget that. This breast reduction gave me more than a physical lift — it gave me a lift in my confidence, comfort, and quality of life. It has truly changed my life. I had previously dealt with an insurance process that made this surgery feel like it would take forever. Here, everything moved so much more smoothly. I was approved in less than a month, and after seeing Dr. Kanuri, I was able to have my surgery within just a few weeks. What means the most is that the care did not stop after surgery. Dr. Kanuri and the team are still helping me and supporting me through my recovery and this journey. I am beyond grateful. My health, my comfort, and the confidence I have gained are priceless. I am already telling other people about my experience, and I will continue to sing their praises. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri, the Center for Plastic Surgery, the Chevy Chase and Tysons staff, my surgical team, and everyone involved in my care. You did not just help change my body — you helped change my life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars honestly does not feel like enough. ❤️

It’s been 3 months since my tummy tuck surgery and I feel great! Dr. Rao did a TT with muscle repair and fixed my umbilical hernia and diastis recti. The surgery went very smoothly and my recovery has been pretty textbook. Dr. Rao did everything exactly as explained and I’m healing very well with no complications at all. I highly recommend Dr. Rao!

I had a wonderful experience with my surgeon and the entire staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my breast reduction journey. My doctor took the time to answer my questions and provided excellent care before and after surgery. I’m so grateful for the support and highly recommend this practice!

Got my breast augmentation done - Dr Rao uses preserve minimally invasive technique, With shorten of recovery time and you don't have to go under general anesthesia. It's done under Ivy sedation Excuse me....oh my God This technique is a game changer... I am only two weeks postop surgery, but I am Healed very well with no complications. I started going back to work four days After the procedure and my results are perfect.

Choosing Dr. Christopher Fleury as my plastic surgeon was one of the best decisions I made after my breast cancer diagnosis. From the very first appointment, he made me feel comfortable, and honestly, that mattered more than I could have imagined given everything else I was dealing with. He listens. Really listens. He took the time to understand what I wanted my reconstruction to look like instead of assuming he knew what was best for me. I wanted a natural result that stayed close to my original size, and every decision along the way reflected those conversations. Although I'm still in the middle of reconstruction, I already feel completely confident in where we're headed together. None of that would matter if he weren't exceptionally gifted technically, but he is. He performed my reconstruction after my double mastectomy, including tissue expander placement, ADM placement, and a nerve allograft. One of the biggest surprises was learning he could perform the nerve allograft. I hadn't even known that preserving the possibility of sensation was an option, and he took the time to explain both the potential benefits and the limitations honestly. Knowing I have a real chance of regaining sensation down the road is something I'll always be grateful for. What stood out just as much was how well he understood the cancer side of this, not just the plastic surgery side. When I asked about direct-to-implant reconstruction, he walked me through why it wasn't the right fit for me and why he recommended the expander approach instead. Rather than giving me a one-size-fits-all answer, he explained the reasoning behind every recommendation. That told me he was thinking about my long-term outcome, not just what was easiest. He also worked seamlessly with my breast surgeon, Dr. Bonnie Sun, and I can't overstate how reassuring it was to know they approached my treatment as a team. When you're facing cancer, that kind of collaboration matters. What really sets Dr. Fleury apart, though, is who he is as a person. He's warm, approachable, and has a calm confidence that puts you at ease even when you're overwhelmed. He greets me at every appointment with genuine enthusiasm and makes me feel like we're tackling this together. Those may seem like small things, but during one of the most difficult times of your life, they're anything but. You'll feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. There are many talented plastic surgeons. What makes Dr. Fleury exceptional is the rare combination of elite surgical skill, cutting-edge expertise, deep understanding of breast cancer reconstruction, genuine respect for his patients' goals, and extraordinary compassion. Those qualities don't always exist in the same physician, but they do in him. If you're facing breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis, I cannot recommend Dr. Fleury highly enough. I am incredibly grateful he's part of my team.

What started as a possible breast reduction surgical procedure to help with chronic back pain sadly became more complicated. I learned that I carry an unknown genetic mutation increasing my risk for breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. I went from interviewing doctors to hiring one. After multiple consultations around the DC & Northern VA areas, I felt certain in my choice. For anyone facing a similarly complex and emotional decision, I would strongly recommend considering Dr. Frank Albino. What ultimately helped me make a decision was speaking with a few recently retired operating room nurses I knew that worked where my consultants practiced. Although they had not worked directly with my choices, they remained connected to colleagues who had. When asked who they would see for a reconstruction post-mastectomy, the response was 100% consistent and immediate: Dr. Albino. He was described as respectful, exceptionally skilled, highly educated, efficient, and—most notably—deeply kind. After meeting him myself, I found those descriptions to be entirely accurate. Dr. Albino is transparent, supportive, reassuring, and empathetic. He has a remarkable ability to take complex, fragmented information and synthesize it into a clear and thoughtful plan. His approach is both analytical and compassionate. In comparison to other offices, his stood out for its responsiveness. Calls were returned promptly, and communication was reliable. I’m indebted to Heather, Niya, Cameron, and many others for their continued guidance and compassion. The office was in constant communication through the entire process to make sure nothing was missed, especially with all my many questions and concerns. The act of scheduling the plastic surgeon, oncology surgeon, hospital, operating room, handling the insurance company, paperwork, pre-op & post-op exams and more went very smoothly on my end BECAUSE of them. I am so very grateful. Lastly, after meeting with the oncology surgeon, she was very happy to know that she would be working alongside Dr Albino. That approval solidified my heart and mind even more, if possible. Thank you, Dr Albino and THE Center for Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Albino of The Center for Plastic Surgery completely changed my life. I had a breast reduction mid January of this year after wanting one for so many years. I finally worked up the courage for a consultation and was immediately put at ease regarding my concerns, fears, and hopes. He even recommended that I get another opinion but I knew after the consultation that I trusted him to do the procedure. The process was smooth leading up to surgery, and the surgery day went great as well. Dr. Albino called later that night after surgery to check up on me which truly meant the world. He is an extremely caring, professional, and talented surgeon. Being able to look in the mirror and be happy with what you see reflected back is priceless. Had I known how happy I would be now I would have gotten this procedure done years ago. If you are reading this and like me have wanted a breast reduction please trust me when I say this, Dr. Albino is the best. He will take care of you, and you will be so much happier when it is all set and done!

Dr Albino is great ! He readily stated he could fix my problem when three other ones could not. I plan to have an unwanted breast implants removed and a lift to get back to my desired size. . He is attentive, kind, smart . Office staff is the same .

I have been a patient of CPS for over 20 years and I would trust my body and life with their experienced team of doctors. I met Dr Rao for the first time for a consultation and he was very knowledgeable, personable and reassuring. He answered all of my questions and made me feel confident that I would be in good caring hands. I’m looking forward and very excited about having him perform my breast reduction surgery. I highly recommend Dr Rao and CPS to anyone.

I had breast lift with Motiva, mini implant and flank Lipo with Dr. Rao- He’s done a great job. I’m postop and feel the results have been really well done. It’ll take a while for me to see the final results, but I feel confident that they will look great. Bedside manner and expertise have all been top-notch.

I got a consultation and breast reduction surgery with Dr. Rao. My surgery was in February and it has been 6+ months since, and I love my results. If you're looking for a great doctor who is precise and will give you realistic feedback on your goals, Dr. Rao is for you!

Dr Rao is a miracle worker. After being told by another plastic surgeon that reconstruction with implants after double mastectomy was impossible, I was fortunate to find Dr Rao. He gave me new breasts similar to the originals. Dr Rao is a really wonderful doctor.

Dr Rao is amazing! He has helped me through my breast reconstruction after having my double mastectomy! He did a tummy tuck for me as well and it looks amazing! Other doctors have commented to me about how great his work is and how straight his lines are! You will absolutely love him! Cannot recommend him enough! He is phenomenal!

Best doctor ever! I had my breast augmentation with Dr. Rao and the entire experience was great!

I first saw Dr. Rao for a ruptured breast implant (original implants placed in 2013). He not only cleared the leaking silicone and replaced the implants, he did some kind of surgical mesh magic, lifting my aging chest and bringing a symmetry that I honestly don’t think I had even before I sacrificed my breasts on the alter of breastfeeding 4 children. Dr. Rao is that talented! Additionally, the office is not only efficient but so soothing, so relaxing that I am actually tempted to slip in with a book and a cup of tea just to experience again the ambiance, the kindness and beautiful smiles of his staff, not to mention Dr. Rao himself who breezes in and out in cheerful, sartorial splendor. Many thanks to the whole team!! Five stars all the way!!

Dr. Rao and staff have been fabulous. From working with the team through my double mastectomy tissue expander insertion/fill to final implant swap surgery; they have been professional, patient, caring, and responsive – answering all my questions and providing sometimes-needed emotional support. I’m very happy with the results. I highly recommend this team and practice. :-)

Dr Mesbahi is the very best!! Started with a nipple sparing breast reduction and then, subsequently, a bilateral mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction. He put me at ease, explained everything well, and I am extremely satisfied with the result. His care team is excellent as well. Highly recommend.

I have spent years too nervous to go in for a breast reduction but Dr. Fleury and his staff were so amazing. I felt so relaxed and at ease the entire time and now I'm actually excited to get the surgery done. He also made me feel very validated in my pain with how large my breasts are. I feel like a lot of doctors will tell you that it just comes with it but he was very understanding and has high hopes this will change my quality of life.
