Incredible Facelift, Neck Lift, Fat Transfer (And Later, Sculptra)

am an aesthetics medicine physician and I chose Dr. Chaboki to perform my face lift, neck lift, and fat transfer. It is a year later and the results are (still) amazing. (Just ask all the people who continue to compliment me unsolicited.) I look like myself exactly, but just brighter, younger, and refreshed. Completely natural and normal results – no weird issues at all. (Even my skin looks incredible- something about this surgery improved my skin!) Dr. Chaboki is not only extremely skilled, meticulous, and overall outstanding at his craft, but he is so caring, kind, patient, and attentive. His bedside manner is a major bonus. I recently lost weight and went to him for a little Sculptra to boost facial collagen as well. I can always trust Dr. Chaboki to give me a true, honest opinion. He is very careful and conservative and avoids anything that could possibly make you look weird or different. He noted that I didn’t need Sculptra, but I truly wanted it, so he injected some for me :). That, too, looks perfect. Dr. Chaboki is a complete blessing to the DC area. I can’t trust my face with anyone else.

I Had an Amazing Experience and Results

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Dr. Chaboki and his team at Potomac Plastic Surgery. From the very first consultation through the entire recovery process, I felt completely supported, informed, and confident that I was in the best hands. I underwent a facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, chin implant, and fat transfer, and the results are honestly beyond what I imagined. What truly sets my surgeon apart is their incredible ability to create natural enhancements. I don’t look “done” or overworked—I simply look like a refreshed, more youthful version of myself. The natural results are exactly what I was hoping for. My rhinoplasty refined my profile beautifully while still keeping my nose looking like it belongs to my face. The chin implant brought perfect balance to my features, and the fat transfer restored volume in such a subtle, youthful way. The facelift and neck lift completely rejuvenated my lower face and jawline without changing who I am. The recovery process was also much smoother than I expected because of the detailed guidance and care from the entire team. They were always available to answer questions and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. If you are considering facial surgery and want someone who prioritizes natural results, artistry, and patient care, I truly cannot recommend my surgeon enough. This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Steroid/5FU Injections for Scar Tissue

Dr. Chobaki and his assistant Cat are so patient and kind! I saw Dr. Chobaki for steroid/5fu injections into a localized area that had scar tissue. I research him as only a few surgeons in the area do the combo in steroids and 5FU. The procedure was painless and I’m very pleased with the results!

Dr. Chaboki is Amazing! Call Dr. Chaboki if You Want Natural Results!!

I highly recommend Dr. Chaboki. He is clearly a very knowledgeable and experienced plastic surgeon. What I really like about Dr. Chaboki is that he takes into consideration how natural the result will be, how safe the treatment is, and how it will fit into the general aesthetic of your facial features and thoroughly discusses treatment plans with you before moving forward. I appreciate how he sets realistic expectations and is committed to making you the best you, rather than completely changing your identity. The results of my alarplasty are very natural and I have little to no scarring. I am just amazed at how natural it looks. My chin implant looks very good as well. All the suggestions that Dr. Chaboki made, like the length of the nasal sill to be removed and the size of the chin implant, ended up yielding amazing results that I am highly satisfied with. Really great experience!

Jaw Filler - Minimal Bruising

I've gone to see Dr. Chaboki for filler in the jaw area. He has expert technique and it always comes out just the way I like it with minimal bruising. He's one of the few I'll trust my face with. Definitely recommend.

Worth ItChin Implant

The Right Decision! I love my results!

I'd recommend Dr. Chaboki to anyone. I went to several surgeons before deciding to undergo my procedure with Dr. Chaboki. Three months later I'm so happy with my decision! I wasn't 100% which procedures were right for me, and Dr. Chaboki's recommendations made the most sense. I didn't feel like I was being pushed into anything. I love my results! The procedure wasn't as difficult as expected, and the recovery process went exactly as he described.

Worth ItFacial Fat Transfer

I look at least 10 years younger and it looks extremely natural

I had a lower bleph and full-face fat transfer with Dr. Chaboki and I am soooooooo thrilled with my results. I researched for so long and went to several consults, but when I met with Dr. Chaboki I knew he was the surgeon I would go with. I am 35 years old I have had genetic under eye bags my whole life and the last few years I have had volume facial fat loss due to aging and my under eyes bags had gotten progressively worse. I used to rarely wear makeup but over the last few years I wore it every time I left the house because I was so self-conscious of my under eyes. I always looked tired and I just didn't like how flat and deflated my face looked. I was nervous about surgery because I had never had surgery before. Everything went so smooth and everyone was so kind to me. The recovery went great as well. I just had the typical bruising and swelling. I literally look at least 10 years younger and it looks extremely natural. I wish I had done this years ago. Dr. Chaboki and his staff did not pressure me at all in my consults and he really took his time with me and explained everything. Hes very humble and kind and his staff were so helpful and lovely. He's an excellent surgeon who really took his time and I would highly, highly recommend him.

Worth ItRhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty - corrected problems which allowed for better breathing

I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty with Dr. Chaboki one year ago. He and his staff could not have been more understanding and helpful through it all. The cost was very reasonable and the recovery time was pretty quick. In a few weeks I was able to leave the house without noticeable bruises. My nose was crooked and slanted and I had always wanted to get it fixed. The results are very natural as the doctor just straightened it a bit and corrected problems which allowed for better breathing. I researched doctors for years before finally having the nerve to go through with the surgery. I’m so glad I did and highly recommend Dr. Chaboki.

A thoughtful and caring doctor - always provides excellent service

I've been working with Dr. Chaboki for several years and he and his team have always provided excellent care and service. He listens carefully to what I want to work on and then provides recommendations tailored to my specific profile and characteristics. He's always upfront about how I'm likely to respond to any procedures and is conscientious about allaying any anxiety. I would highly recommend working with Dr. Chaboki.

A Rare Combination of a Great Professional and a Decent Human Being

Dr. Chaboki is exceptional. He is a rare find, surgeon that takes time to explain and also listens to a potential client. He spent time on me and explained all the details of several procedures. I had a Botox and filler done with him with excellent results. I also took my son to him to treat massester hypertropy and he was amazing with him. He is a professional that is in addition a very good human. I am so happy I discovered him. I will always go back to me with any
