Breast Reconstruction

A referral from oncologist. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Rad at a consult at Johns Hopkins after discovering that I carry the BRCA 1 gene. From the beginning I knew that Dr. Rad had a genuine compassion and true interest in my well being, and continues to do so throughout my healing process and follow-ups from the DIEP flap breast reconstruction. His commitment and devotion to making sure that I look and feel as attractive and normal as possible has far surpassed my expectations. He is always easily accessible and readily responds with great interest and care. He truly has shown the utmost professionalism, and a pleasant disposition, and concern that is top notch. Dr. Rad is brilliant in his field, both as a surgeon and artist, and exceptional in every way. I would highly recommend Dr. Rad.

Dr. Ariel Rad is a Brilliant Plastic Surgeon! - Washington, D.C./Northern Virginia

Posted by Karen R.

I discovered Dr. Ariel Rad when I was a patient at Johns Hopkins and through patient reviews. To say that Dr. Ariel Rad has one forte would be an understatement, but to say that he is a connoisseur in countless areas of plastic surgery would be a much more accurate assessment! I believe there is nothing he can't do! Since meeting him in May 2012, I've had several procedures and I am elated with each and every one of them! In June 2012, he performed a breast augmentation/lift surgery. He had taken what I saw as a flaw and turned it into an asset! Where there was once imperfection, there is symmetry and balance! Since then we've shifted the attention to my face. Simply, I was wearing the worries of the world on my face from the last three years of my life and consequently began to age faster than usual. Dr. Ariel Rad reversed all of this! Using Botox and Juvederm, he addressed my bunny lines, crow's feet, eleven lines, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, chin dimples, and parentheses. He also "plumped" both my cheeks and lips giving me an even more youthful appearance! He did all of this while keeping my visage completely natural. Dr. Ariel Rad has created an exquisite exterior beyond my expectations. What he doesn't know is that I have also internalized this feeling of beauty because when I look in the mirror I absolutely love who I see in the reflection. Dr. Ariel Rad is paramount in the area of plastic surgery! This review doesn't begin to convey the brilliance you'll experience if you choose to work with him.

I can't say enough about Dr. Rad both as a sugeon and as a human being. He is warm, compassionate, and always takes the time to make you feel comfortable. And, his skills as a surgeon are top notch. You don't often find this combination - both a great surgeon and a truly wonderful and warm person. I would not hesitate to recomment him.

Dr. Rad is one of a few doctors in the world that uses a particular technique for reconstructive breast surgery on women who have had a mastectomy. He is so highly skilled in plastic surgery that choosing him was an easy decision. In addition, he was not only a fellow plastic surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital but he's also worked as Assistant Professor there. And if you know anything about this hospital, you'd know that it is well known for having the very best doctors and is one of the top medical schools in the country. Dr. Rad is also a very nice person, he is friendly and easy to talk to.

Replace Saline Implants with Silicone - Baltimore, MD

Dr. Rad was patient as I explained my desire to switch implants. He examined me and agreed he could improve the look and feel, especially providing symmetry. He did not rush the visit, either pre-op or post-op. He answered my questions about care for the scars and recommended a topical ointment until they are fully healed with some laser treatment as an option in the future. There was some confusion as to insurance coverage but it was resolved before the day of surgery. Johns Hopkins is a very busy facility so a 30 min. wait for appointments was quite acceptable.

Dr. Rad's surgical skill and demeanor are beyond excellent.WOW! My before and after picture certainly has a story. At 54 years of age I've had 3 sets of breasts in 2 years. Now, That must be a record. Breast cancer, yes. A renown clinic in Rochester, MN did the handiwork on sets 1&2. Set 2 had a lifespan of 5 months. I was then faced with retreading the retreads. My answer was Dr. Rad @John Hopkins. His exceptional skill restored my body back which far exceded my expectations.

As stated above Dr. R is a wonderful surgeon, artist and person. I am gaining my confidence back as a woman with each surgery I have had to go through. If it wasn't for Dr. R and his former professor/teacher/comrade, Dr. Jaime Flores who had also been at Johns Hopkins, I would not be alive and thriving today. I would highly recommend Dr. R.

Dr. R is an extremely skilled surgeon with the most discerning eye, an ability to create fabulous. Dr. R gave me back with extreme precision, results beyond my expections. He was the light at the end of my tunnel. Breast cancer, double mastectomy, and a full fledged positive war against cancer left my body a road map. Dr. R had quite a challenge that another renowned clinic refused. Dr. R's demeanor excells just as his surgical skill does. I faced my surgeries with a smile and full of delightful hope with Dr. R as my surgeon. I also had Dr. R do a facelift as a gift to myself for surviving the cancer. The results give a complete new meaning to the word hope and skilled perfectionism.
