5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover

Full TT, BA and BL- love my results!

I decided upon Dr.Forman as my surgeon after interviewing and meeting with two other doctors. During the first visit, he was more than thorough and took time to explain every procedure. He also discussed my family's breast cancer history, as well as, my medical history in detail. I went in to the first appointment asking for a mini tummy tuck and breast augmentation only. Dr. Foreman took time to evaluate this request and stated that I would be so dissatisfied with results of the mini-tuck that he would not do it. He gave me his honest opinion to achieve my goals and did not just tell me what I wanted to hear. His pre-op recommendation for a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation and breast lift with an overnight stay in the hospital was more than accurate. He prepared me for an intense post-op recovery and support that would be needed for myself and my little ones at home. Although I went back and forth with breast size, different types of lifts and staying overnight in the hospital, he was always patient and professional. The day of surgery I was greeted by a reassuring smile and incredible surgical team. My post-op recovery involved minimal pain and bruising, which I attribute to his meticulous precision and attention to detail. My post-op follow up care has been performed personally by Dr.Foreman. His nursing staff has been expedient in relaying messages to Dr. Foreman and answering any question that I may have. The results of this surgery have exceeded my expectations. I am beyond amazed at the transformation that has taken place with only two months after my surgery date. I am in agreement with another patient who reviewed Dr. Foreman stating that he "under promises and over delivers." He is a talented surgeon and one I highly recommend.

Tummy Tuck, Breast Life and Augmentation - Bethesda, MD

Working with Dr. Forman was very enjoyable. He set my expectations right from the start and everything went exactly as he said it would. Considering how much I had done at once, it really was an enjoyable experience!

Tummy-Tuck for 40 Year-Old Mom of 2 Kids - Rockville, MD

He has put me at ease, taking plenty of time to answer questions. I even met with him a second time before making my final decision (I consulted with 3 surgeons). I hear nothing but good things about him from others, and I have also enjoyed working with his staff. Gilit James (surgical coordinator) is very kind and professional. Though I am nervous about this major surgery, I feel very comfortable having chosen Dr. Forman and his staff to take care of me!

I highly recommend Dr. Forman. He made me feel at ease, was patient with my endless thread of questions, and encouraged me to ask him anything. He explained everything about my procedure fully - including the risks - so that I was able to make an informed decision. On surgery day and during the recovery period, Dr. Forman and his staff were always available if I needed anything (and I did...

I Can't Believe I'm Finally Doing This! - Bethesda, MD

Hello, I am new here, but have been reading lots of posts here and have been encouraged to finally find the courage to do what I have always wanted to do. My kids are 13 and 11 and ever since I had my second child, I've longed for a flat stomach. In my pregnancies I gained over 60 lbs with the first and 40 lbs with the second. Unfortunately, that did a number on my stomach muscles and skin....

Attentive, Professional & a Master Artist!

My husband and I loved the first visit with Dr. Forman. His team welcomed us with a friendly and professional attitude. He was very pleasant and elaborated on all of his recommendations. He also shared some of the extensive gallery of his work and we were very impressed. He is a master artist! We did not feel rush during the visit which is usually the experience at other plastic surgeons...

Excellent results and experience with Dr. Foman

I did quite a bit of research before having a neck lift and I asked for referrals from a number of sources, including other doctors. My experience with Dr. Forman and his staff could not have been better.
