22-year old implants removed with lift - could not have gone better

Dr. Cohen removed my 22-year old breast implants and performed a breast lift. My surgery and recovery could not have gone any better and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Dr. Cohen takes as much time as needed to explain things/answer questions and is very meticulous, and my results show both his technical and artistic skills. His staff is very friendly, helpful and responsive as well. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen and the entire staff at Bayview Plastic Surgery.

I couldn't have asked for better care or results

I've very happy with my choice to stay local for my surgeries. Now I feel blessed that Dr Cohen is so close to where I live. I couldn't have asked for better care or results. 10/10 very skilled, knowledgeable and caring. I'm relieved to have him as an option in WA state. Updated on 23 Jan 2022: I’m only 17dpo and so excited to see what the final results will be. Could not be happier with my results. Updated on 6 Feb 2022: Overeating and swelling are really starting to affect my results at this point. I’m excited to see the changes that will come over the next year. I took a picture of my flank lipo, I don’t have a before but have always had large “love handles” I’m looking forward to those coming down after swelling as well. Overall I’m still very happy with my results and can’t wait to finish my skin removal surgeries. Updated on 7 Feb 2022: Updated on 14 Feb 2022: The swelling is coming down and finally feeling better. My breasts seem to be taking longer to heal but the tummy tuck is still 10/10. Updated on 24 Mar 2022: I’m still swelling and sore but worth it. I went from a size 8/10 to a size 2/4. Updated on 25 Mar 2022: 3 months Updated on 25 Mar 2022:

Professionalism at Its Finest with Amazing Results!

After losing a considerable amount of weight and after having 3 consultations, 2 in Seattle, 1 in Miami, I found Dr Cohen closer to home. Not only was I happily surprised at the cost and how personable Dr. Cohen was, but the level of care they took to insure I had a positive experience was outstanding! My results far surpassed my expectations and my belly button is actually cute! Dr Cohen has better credentials than all the surgeons I had consulted with and his work speaks for itself. His staff at Bayview Plastic Surgery were helpful and knowledgeable and I plan on going back for all of my plastic surgery needs.

Love My Results

Dr. Cohen is excellent! He’s very professional, has a great bedside manner & is a very skilled surgeon. I immediately felt comfortable with him. I had a bilateral breast augmentation done for shrunken, deflated breasts after breastfeeding my children. He listened to what my husband & I both wanted (which was to get back some volume & projection while remaining proportional), thoroughly discussed the options with us, & spent as much time as we needed to answer our questions. At 10 weeks out I can honestly say that I am thrilled with my results & so glad I chose Dr. Cohen to be my surgeon!

Dr. Cohen made me a better Loretta

Putting my care in the hands of Dr. Cohen proved to be a wonderful decision. I lost 75 pounds from the gastric sleeve performed last April by Dr. Swedler at CHI Weight Loss Management Center in Federal Way. Last week, 13 months later, I underwent skin removal (a panniculectomy) performed by Dr. Cohen at Franciscan Plastic Surgery on Ruston Way in Tacoma. Today, I looked at my new flat belly for the first time and I am so very pleased with Dr. Cohen's work. I look fabulous!!. I had the utmost faith in his ability to provide what I needed because even before I saw him, the nursing staff told me, on a few occasions, that Dr. Cohen is a meticulous surgeon and that he is always a pleasure to work with because he demands the best for his patients. He was even able to save my belly button, which is lost in many cases. He is gentle and caring and I knew that he would take great care of me and he did. Even though I am 67 years old, he made me feel important and that I was worth his time. He is one of my heroes and I will be forever grateful. He was patient with me, answering any questions I had. He educated me so well that I didn't feel anxious or concerned at all. I look forward to my very best years now. I know they are ahead of me and not behind and it is all because of you, Dr. Cohen. You rock!!!

8 days away until my Breast Augmentation!!

Ive decided to share my journey so far. I am 29yo, 5’6, 140lbs, mother of 1. Since having my son (almost 8 years ago) I’ve been researching about breast augmentation and figuring out when the best time for me would be. My son is pretty self sufficient which is why now seemed to be the right time for this. I met with two board certified PS and decided to go with my second choice. My friend works for Dr. Cohen (is his MA) and so I immediately felt comfortable. He answers any and all questions, even if they sound so dumb. Do your research with Drs even though I picked someone after my second consult, I did my homework on him prior to my appointment. It’s not just about his rating but the fact that yes he’s board certified but also where he did his residency, how long he’s been doing this, the whole shabang. I am getting a bilateral breast augmentation with 218cc silicon implants. I want to be a full C, I don’t want any bigger than that, I’m simply wanting to just fix my lopsidedness. I’m nervous as hell but also extremely excited all rolled into one. I have my drawing appointment a week from today. My pre - op was yesterday and on 5/4 I’m having my surgery. I’m a huge Star Wars fan since I was a little girl (I grew up on the old movies) so picking May 4th was most appropriate. Ha ha I will update how my drawing appointment went!!

Dr. Cohen provides exceptional care!

Dr. Cohen with CHI Fransician Plastic Surgery is a spectacular surgical provider. He not only gave me back my body I had before having my 4 children, but was able to make a few extra changes to compliment. I had both a yummy tuck and breast augmentation with fat transfer. He listened to my needs, recommended the best plan of care, and explained throughly the process. His kindness and thoughtfulness during my care was exceptional. His staff also goes the extra mile for patient care. I could not be happier with my results. I highly recommend him for all your surgical needs, he is the very best!

47 Years Old, 3 Kids and I Needed a Breast Reduction

I had wanted to do the reduction surgery for years but I had to raise 3 kids. The cost, I thought, was out of my price range. So the debilitating neck, shoulder and back pain was just something I tried to live with. After the kids grew up and moved on my daughter talked me into at least meeting with Dr. Cohen and hear what he had to say. I was pleasantly surprised at the consult. Dr. Cohen was very personable and compassionate and the cost was totally in my price range. He answered all my questions and was very patient with me. He sent me home with paperwork to read and encouraged me to call with anymore questions. I made the decision to go ahead with the procedure. I felt prepared. I had my surgery at St. Claire's in Tacoma. The staff there was warm and friendly. I felt in good hands. The procedure took a few hours and I was taken to the recovery room. Dr. Cohen went and spoke to my husband to inform him I was ok and see if he had any questions. I went home shortly after that. The drain tubes, as they warned me, felt uncomfortable. How to drain them was intimidating at first but we got the hang of it in no time. My entire recovery process went smoothly and there were no complications. I did not do too much and took my recovery slow. Cleaning the stiches were easy and when the time was right I used the Palmers cream. It kept the breast skin moisturized so it was not tight feeling. I still use it to keep the scarring to a minimum. The nipple area is sensitive but not anything painful. The main thing is to do what the nursing staff and Dr. Cohen say. Take it easy and don't do too much too soon. I am 4 months after surgery now and feeling great! I even got a gym membership and am jogging! Something I have not been able to do since Jr. High! I am so happy with the outcome and would highly recommend this surgery.

Perfectionist surgeon with a truly kind heart

Dr. Cohen has been such a blessing! He worked with my breast cancer surgeon from the beginning to plan the best possible outcome, saving much of my breast after my mastectomy. I have a lot of preferences, and Dr. Cohen continuously develops and improves on our plan, adapting to my needs as necessary. He carefully listens to my questions, and he gives me detailed answers. He has always treated me with respect, kindness, and professionalism. I don't know how I could've made it through without him.

Panniculectomy

Amazing doctor who went above and beyond for me.

I lost 115lbs and had a quite a bit of skin over hanging my belly. My insurance covered a panniculectomy and I was referred to Cohen. I was a bit worried because often unlike tummy tucks panniculectomy are often not pretty after. Dr Cohen however not only took the skin but actually worked to give me a stunning abdomen. I could not be happier with this. Oh and I chose not to have a belly button.
