Body Contouring Procedures in Washington DC

Also Serving Mclean, Alexandria, Loudoun County and Arlington

Body contouring operations range from liposuction to tummy tuck to, in the context of massive weight loss, body lift procedures.  Dr. Rad often combines procedures in order to achieve results safely. 

Each patient has unique anatomy, healing ability, lifestyle and personal goals – therefore, cookie cutter approaches won’t do.  Dr. Rad customizes each patient’s treatment plan uniquely, an approach that serves his patients well so that they may enjoy their results for a lifetime. 

More surgery is not better.  Therefore, Dr. Rad’s approach involves determining which aesthetic procedures offer the least invasive method to correct a patient’s concerns.  Dr. Rad is experienced in the following procedures:

Body Shaping:

  • Liposuction is ideal for patients who have excellent skin tone and elasticity and “problem areas” of stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away despite a healthy weight and lifestyle.
  • Abdominoplasty is suitable for patients who have loose, stretched skin either from prior pregnancy or significant weight loss.
  • Mommy Makeover is excellent to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body proportions.

Massive Weight Loss:

  • Facelift restores youthful contours to the face and neck and can be done safely as an outpatient.
  • Belt Lipectomy is the gold standard for total lower body lifting.
  • Chest Lift and Breast Lift are idea for contouring and lifting sagging chest or breast tissues.
  • Arm Lift are effective to remove very loose skin from these areas in the context of being at one’s ideal weight.

What Patients Are Saying

We consulted with three plastic surgeons before choosing Dr. Rad for my 17 year old son’s rhinoplasty and chin implant in March 2017. From the first meeting, we felt confident that Dr. Rad is a skilled, experienced and talented surgeon who pays attention to every detail. He is also a super guy – warm, caring, attentive and welcoming. Everything went smoothly and we are extremely happy with the results. We are very pleased with the whole experience and recommend him without hesitation.

He is singularly focused on ensuring the very best results for each of his clients.

“I am so grateful I chose Dr. Rad to perform my surgery. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease & comfortable. The office is very clean & creative. He took time to answer all my questions, I didn’t feel rushed as I did w/ other surgeons I met. His staff was prompt to respond & very friendly. Post surgery I called over a holiday weekend w/ a question & he called me back quickly. It has been an easy recovery & trust him fully. My scars are fading quick & it’s only been 5 weeks! He’s the best!”

“My goal was to be a refreshed, happy, more confident version of “me.” As I prepared for surgery I had no unanswered questions and was totally confident about Dr. Rad’s skill and judgment. Interactions with Dr. Rad and his team at the time of surgery and follow up were efficient, and delivered with compassion and kindness. I recommend him without qualification.”

“Had a facelift with Dr. Rad. Not only did he do a magnificent job, but he was extraordinarily attentive and caring when I experienced an acute complication from surgery. He has an outstanding bedside manner. In his office, he never makes you feel rushed. Explains everything carefully. And is all around extremely kind and very talented. I have referred several people to him.”
