AREAS OF EXPERTISE

The mommy makeover is a popular procedure for moms who are concerned about the changes to their body after pregnancy. I customize the procedure for each patient, but it usually involves a combination of a breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck. A breast lift can be a great option for patients who have encountered sagging, while breast implants can help restore lost volume after breastfeeding. When it comes to excess fat that has occured from pregnancy, liposuction is one way to reduce it, whether it’s in the abdomen, arms, thighs, hips, or other parts of the body. This can also be combined with a tummy tuck, which would help repair stretched muscles and remove excess skin. Maryland patients who are interested in a mommy makeover can schedule a consultation at my Bethesda practice.

Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S., and it’s one of the most common procedures I perform at my Bethesda MD practice. Patients seek out breast augmentation surgery to restore volume following childbirth, make their breasts more proportionate, or simply increase the size of their natural breasts. During a consultation, I take the time to understand your aesthetic goals and create a tailor-made treatment plan to help you achieve them. We will discuss the different breast implant options, including saline or silicone gel. A relatively new type of silicone implant that is becoming more popular is the “gummy bear,” made with form-stable or highly cohesive gel. These implants create natural-looking breasts that don’t lose their shape over time. We will also discuss how you’d like the profile and shape of your breasts to look, the incision placement, as well as everything you can expect as far as care and recovery.

AFTER

Even the most expensive face cream is no match for the sagging that comes with age, but facelift surgery can make you look 10 years younger. Patients who are concerned about deep wrinkles and sagging can turn back time with a face or neck lift. A full facelift is often done in combination with a neck lift, contour and tighten a sagging jawline and neck. A brow lift can tighten lax skin and smooth deep wrinkles in the forehead, while a mid facelift focuses on the under-eye area and cheeks. A lower facelift focuses on the bottom part of the face, addressing common issues like smile lines and jowls. During a consultation at my Maryland practice, we’ll discuss your goals and align on the best type of lift to rejuvenate your face.

I am writing this as your typical 50 year old mom who has honestly really never seriously thought about plastic surgery. About 6 months before my mini “Mommy Makeover,” I noticed that my breasts were just getting more and more deflated as I lost a few pounds here and there. I’m 5’2” and about 118 pounds - always had smaller breasts but not deflated. And no matter what I did, I always had a little pouch after having kids. At first I only researched breast augmentation because the thought of multiple procedures was too much for me to handle since I’ve never had surgery before! At the suggestion of a friend who heard some people who had gone to CSA / Dr. Jabs before, I booked a consultation with Dr. Jabs. He was as I had expected him to be based on the reviews - easy to talk to and patient with all my questions. At the consultation I tried on the sizers with Kelsey who was really helpful. What started as just a consultation for breast augmentation turned into a mini Mommy Makeover. My tummy has always bothered me and asked about tummy tucks and whether I was a good candidate for a mini one. Good news was I was! My recovery went smoothly and as expected. I ended up getting 400/425cc for my breasts and a mini tummy tuck (removal of skin/fat below belly button). Days 1-3 were pretty uncomfortable but manageable. Dr. Jabs called me the evening after my surgery to check on me and I always was able to email staff with questions. I am Week 7 post-OP and I am so happy with my results! It gets better with each week- trust the process! By the way - everyone I met in the office was helpful: Shaila answered a ton of questions post-OP and Penny gave me her listening ear (and tips) as I was anxious pre-OP. Thank you to Dr. Jabs, Kelsey, Shaila and Penny with my journey - I feel so much more confident. I recommend CSA and Dr. Jabs if you are thinking of having any procedure!

Completely wonderful experience! I could not recommend Dr. Jabs highly enough. The entire experience from start to finish was smooth. The staff is very personable and explained the entire process thoroughly and clearly. I was well informed of my choices, the surgery process and aftercare. Dr. Jabs is very personable with comforting bedside manner. The results of my breast augmentation look so natural as they ensured me they would. Downtime is minimal. I am so ecstatic over the results- they look amazing. REVIEW100

Great Experience with Dr. Jabs

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Jabs! I recently had a breast lift (no implants), and the results are incredible! The shape is better than before I had kids. The recovery was surprisingly easy with minimal pain. Dr. Jabs is not only highly skilled but also kind, patient, and reassuring throughout the entire process. I would gladly return for any future procedures and highly recommend him to friends and family.

I recently had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Jabs, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From my first consultation, he took the time to truly understand my concerns, explain my options in detail, and set realistic expectations. His calm, confident manner immediately put me at ease and made me feel I was in the best hands. My results look incredibly natural—refreshed, lifted, and more youthful without looking “done.” The improvement in my jawline and lower face is exactly what I hoped for, and several friends have commented that I look rested, vibrant, and younger. Recovery was smooth, and Dr. Jabs and his team were always available to answer questions and provide reassurance. The entire staff at CSA is warm, professional, and organized, which made the process even easier. Choosing Dr. Jabs was one of the best decisions I’ve made. His skill, artistry, and genuine care for his patients truly set him apart. I feel confident, rejuvenated, and so grateful for the outcome. Highly recommend!

Confident and Happy One Year Post-op

It’s officially been one year since my rhinoplasty, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was looking for something subtle, just enough to feel more confident while still looking like myself and Dr. Jabs delivered exactly that. The whole process felt easier than I expected, from the initial consultation to the recovery. Dr. Jabs made me feel comfortable every step of the way, and I really appreciated the attention to detail and care throughout the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a natural, refined result.

Response from Dr. Arthur Dean Jabs, MD, PhD, FACSI am so happy we were able to achieve your goal look. Most people don’t realize that it takes quite a bit of time for the swelling to subside after a rhinoplasty. Thank you for the kind review and for sharing your experience. All the Best, Dr. J

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Dean Jabs! He performed my tummy tuck and breast reduction on 2/13/2024, and the results are absolutely incredible! I feel like a brand-new person—more confident, comfortable, and completely thrilled with my transformation. From my first consultation to my post-op visits, Dr. Jabs has been nothing short of exceptional. His bedside manner is impeccable—he truly listens, answers every question with patience, and makes you feel completely at ease. His skill and attention to detail are evident in my results—everything looks natural, beautifully sculpted, and beyond what I even hoped for. If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Jabs. He is a true artist and an outstanding surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients. Thank you, Dr. Jabs, for giving me my confidence back!

Response from Dr. Arthur Dean Jabs, MD, PhD, FACSBig makeovers can be tough on the patient and the surgeon. It requires close communication to understand what the patient wants and to communicate how we will achieve that goal. The reward is how transformational these procedures can be. I am so happy for you in your new body! All the Best, Dr. J

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Jabs and the staff at Cosmetic Surgery Associates! I wanted a natural, subtle enhancement to my chest and Dr. Jabs absolutely achieved it. I'm including my before and after results about 3ish months post surgery. My reasoning - My motivation for getting the procedure was to enhance my existing chest to be a little more prominent without becoming too much. I’m 5’2 and 120lbs and have always been considered more “petite”, so I wanted implants that matched that (but still made me feel more feminine). Although Dr. Jabs initially recommended 250-275cc moderate plus to achieve the results I wanted (as I explained I wanted a more distinct “cleavage” line) I opted to go with 215cc moderate plus to achieve my results. Dr. Jabs supported my decision and still managed to place the implants in a location that I think gives GREAT projection/cleavage, but doesn’t add too much mass and lets me still feel like “me”. I did under the muscle and silicone for a more natural looking result. The staff - Everyone at the office is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what they do. I had a LOT of questions (as I wanted results that looked like they could be my natural breasts, plus was beyond nervous about making such a huge decision!!) and no one had any issues answering them or reassuring me about any concerns. The facility - Not only is the facility/office space gorgeous and clean but they have their own Operating Room. So you don’t have to go to a hospital or do anything extra the day of surgery. You show up and then walk into the OR just down the hall. It was very convenient, which helped ease my day of surgery concerns. This was my first surgery EVER and I was glad to have done it in such a safe and supportive environment. The operation - It felt like I fell asleep and woke up 60 seconds later! With boobs! My nurses and the anesthesiologist were so nice before surgery and afterwards they were very attentive and constantly checking to make sure I wasn’t in pain, nauseous, or experiencing any issues. We were making jokes and even laughing after surgery, which was super comforting and really helped reassure me I made the right choice. The research - I know my augmentation goal is a bit unconventional as my size is smaller and results aren’t as obvious, but truly that is what I wanted! I joke to everyone that I wanted a “mini” boob job. I did a ton of research on less than 215cc implant result stories and there isn’t a lot out there as most women seem to do 300 and up. To try and gain more knowledge I consulted with Dr. Jabs along with 2 other surgeons (one in SD and one in Chicago). These gentleman were also great and they both recommended under the muscle/silicone (I believe that’s becoming the more standard recommendation for natural results) and CCs in the low 200s. If you’re nervous or uncertain, I definitely recommend meeting with multiple surgeons to gain your own knowledge and understanding and continuing to research on here! Updated on 28 Oct 2025: Sharing an update of what my augmentation look like one year post surgery. It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I had my procedure done. I still have absolutely 0 regrets and am very happy with how they’re looking

Response from Dr. Arthur Dean Jabs, MD, PhD, FACSThank you for sharing. Listening to what my patients want is very important to achieving a good result. I am so glad we were able to achieve your goal. All the Best, Dr. J

Dr. Jabbs was the BEST surgeon I could have ever asked for. He went above and beyond ensuring I was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Having severe anxiety and being a 24 year old, I was anxious about having a male physician taking care of me for a breast augmentation - but I was pleasantly surprised to have been made to feel so comfortable and safe. The best part is how good they look - my confidence has skyrocketed!!!! Choosing Dr. Jabbs for this experience was one of the best decisions I have made and I can't recommend him enough.

I got a breast augmentation with Dr. Jabs and am so thrilled with the results. It has truly changed my life. I was so picky when looking for a surgeon and Dr. Jabs had everything I was looking for. A great bedside manner, very knowledgeable, patient, his before and after pictures were exactly what I wanted, and he listened to my goals with how I wanted to look and explained in depth on how we could reach that goal through different options. I HIGHLY reccomend Dr. Jabs!
