AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can take their toll on the body, resulting in excess weight gain, sagging skin, and other issues that cannot be treated with diet and exercise alone. Many of my Bethesda, Maryland patients opt for the mommy makeover to restore and improve the appearance of the abdomen and breasts through a combination of two or three procedures. Depending on the patient’s needs, the mommy makeover may include a breast augmentation, a breast lift or breast revision, liposuction, and/or a tummy tuck. During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles can become stretched. A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, repairs the muscles while removing the extra skin and tightening the area to reveal a dramatically improved silhouette. This can be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn pockets of excess fat in areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs, hips, and more. Both of these procedures can be done with a breast augmentation and/or breast lift.

The face is the first thing people see when they look at you. Unfortunately, over time, the skin and the connective tissue in our face and neck can lose its elasticity, altering our features. There can be a noticeable droop and sagging that cannot be corrected even with the most expensive face creams. The good thing is, a face and neck lift can correct this, bringing back that youthful and refreshed appearance we all covet. Patients in the D.C. and Maryland area who are interested in a face and neck lift can be sure to expect the absolute best care at my practice. First, we will meet to discuss your exact aesthetic goals; then, we will figure which areas to target for improvement and what that will entail. This might include treating the forehead and upper area of the face, the eyelids, the midface, or the cheeks and neck. The procedure, which can consist of removing excess fat, tightening the muscles, and skin redraping, will make you look years younger, but in a natural-looking way

Amazing Facelift & Necklift

I had a neck lift and natural facelift with Dr. Magge on March 2nd and am SO HAPPY with my results! The consult was straight forward, with realistic expectations and most importantly he did not try to talk me into anything I was not comfortable with. The surgery went excellent and even when I was panicking on day 2, Dr. Magge immediately answered my texts and phone calls and had me come right in so he could observe and make sure to put me at ease. I went to three consultations prior to meeting Dr Magge and I’m happy. I went with my instinct to choose him as my surgeon.

Caring, Professional Surgeon!

I am particular and knew what I wanted. I did hours of research to understand what a deep plane face and neck lift would entail. I then looked at physician reviews in my area. Dr. Magge was my first and only consult. I chose Dr. Magge because he was approachable and easy to talk with. He listened to my concerns and knew I was very anxious and really only wanted a neck lift. However, at a certain age even when thin and not having a heavy jowl, he said he needed a place to anchor the neck lift. I agreed to move forward with both because I really wanted an improved neck. Dr. Magge is conservative and when I asked to add resurfacing he said he was only comfortable doing around the mouth and the forehead. He also thought a little bit of a fat transfer under my eyes would improve the skin texture and fill in a bit of hollowing. Which it did. Finally, while my pierced ears were fine, the overall lobe had dropped a little bit and Dr. Magge said he could easily fix it which would require a new piercing about 6-8 weeks later. I was Dr. Magge’s only patient on surgery day. I really appreciated that he would focus only on my case. He administered about 8 pills at the start as he was marking my face with marker. I was out as soon as I laid down on the surgery center table which is located in Dr. Magge’s office. Dr. Magge took his time with the above mentioned procedures. I left The surgery center at 6 PM. I had arrived almost 12 hours earlier. Apparently I am a light weight and it took longer for me to wake up. I was not in pain but I was drowsy and do not remember the ride home. I went right to bed with a wrap around my head and very red skin in the places he used the TLR laser. I think discomfort is the best word to describe the healing process. During the procedure Dr. Magge said I had a bleed and he had to cauterize an area to stop the bleeding. He apparently shocked my facial nerve (he did not cut it) which caused temporary paralysis on one side of my face. It was not the way I was hoping it would go. Dr. Magge was incredibly supportive during the 3 months it took for me to regain my full smile. We met or talked weekly so he could stay involved. He got me in to see a specialist who is very hard to see. The specialist said the chances for a full recovery were very high. Of course it was discouraging, scary and hard to be patient, but little by little the symmetry of my smile came back. When the paralysis happened, Dr. Magge put me on steroid pack to help with inflammation. I did see an acupuncturist twice a week for 20 sessions during the recovery too. She used needles on my face and also used a cold laser. I took vitamin B and did gentle facial exercises I found online. I also chewed gum a few times a day. I did anything and everything I could to improve my smile. Ultimately it was time. My nerves needed time to heal and repair. I am over 4 months healed and I would say nobody probably notices the small difference of my smile except me. I am still early in my healing, so I am over the worry. I know my smile will go back to its original symmetry soon. Another side effect nobody told me about is dry mouth. While Dr. Magge did not cut any big glands, my dry mouth was very pronounced. It is about 75% better so that is encouraging. Again, Dr. Magge prescribed a drug that was helpful and created more saliva. However, once again, time is improving the situation. In summary, my overall result is very natural and that is what I wanted. I am very pleased. Dr. Magge is a kind and talented surgeon. I am giving him 5 stars. He always made me feel like we were in the entire experience as a team. I appreciated knowing this. Thank you Dr. Magge for your warmth, kindness and care!

I Had an Amazing Experience

I couldn’t be happier with my tummy tuck results. From my very first consultation, Dr. Magge and his entire staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring—they truly went above and beyond at every step of the process. As a woman of my age, I was understandably nervous going into surgery, but Dr. Magge took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel completely at ease. His expertise and calm, reassuring approach gave me full confidence in my decision. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I’m so grateful for the care and support I received throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Magge to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Magge, after my deep plane facelift! I also had, at the same time, a lip lift, lower eye blepharoplasty and peri-oral laser treatment. He did amazing work and I love my new, youthful face! The ugly turkey neck is gone, and so are all of my wrinkles! The dark circles and bags under my eyes are completely gone! And I’m not sure how he did it, but I cannot even see any scars. Doing all those procedures together at the same time made the first week’s recovery a little challenging, but it was worth it. Have someone with you for the first few days. If you are looking for a deep plane facelift surgeon, Dr. Magge is your guy!!

Best Plastic Surgeon in the DMV

I had a breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Magge about 3 months ago to treat tuberous breasts. Not even being dramatic, it was the best decision of my life so far. I went to a couple different consults and Dr. Magge was the clear stand out. I was told by other surgeons that my anatomy was complex and they would have to use untraditional methods, but Dr. Magge knew immediately what I needed with no hesitation or doubt. He is a perfectionist and genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing while delivering amazing results with his surgical expertise. I felt comfortable asking him any questions I had and he is very responsive and approachable. Not saying I would choose a surgeon based on personality alone, but if I did, he would be a clear winner there too as he is so kind and personable. Also, the staff at Cosmetic Surgery Associates is top tier. They are all so helpful and friendly. Special shout out to my OR circulator/recovery nurse, Joy, who was the highlight of surgery day. She kept me calm and was so supportive and pleasant to talk to. I have full sensation in both breasts and haven’t had any complications aside from a spitting stitch which is very common and just required a painless tweeze. I am so beyond happy with my results and my self confidence has skyrocketed, definitely worth every penny. I recommend Dr. Magge to anyone who has been considering any of the surgeries he performs, you will be in great hands :)

book your consultation now!

I recently underwent a breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Magge at Cosmetic Surgery Associates, and I am absolutely overjoyed with my results. From the very first consultation to post-op recovery, every step of this journey exceeded my expectations. Dr. Magge is everything you could hope for in a surgeon — thorough, kind, and incredibly communicative. He made sure I fully understood what to expect at every stage of the process, which put so much of my anxiety at ease. What truly set him apart was that he provided his personal cell phone number and was genuinely responsive when I reached out with questions or concerns during recovery. That level of personal attention is rare and made the entire experience feel truly exceptional. I also have to give a huge shoutout to Mariah, my care coordinator. She was phenomenal during my consultation — she walked me through all of my options and next steps so thoroughly that by the time surgery day arrived, I had very few questions left. That kind of preparation and patient education is invaluable. The entire office staff was warm, welcoming, and professional from the moment I walked through the door. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cosmetic Surgery Associates to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. If you are looking for a team that combines top-tier surgical skill with genuine compassion and outstanding patient care, look no further. Thank you, Dr. Magge and the entire team, for giving me results I am truly in love with!

Amazing Experience with Dr. Magge!

After extensive research and multiple consultations, choosing Dr. Magge was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I initially sought him out for a mastectomy revision (implant exchange and reduction), but after meeting him and experiencing his thoughtful, patient-centered approach, I felt confident expanding my treatment plan to include an eyebrow lift, lower blepharoplasty, and fat grafting to the temples. From the very beginning, Dr. Magge took the time to truly listen and understand my goals. I emphasized that I wanted natural, undetectable results, and that is exactly what he delivered. The outcome is incredibly refined and balanced; I look like myself, just more refreshed and restored. There’s a subtlety to his work that reflects both technical precision and artistic judgment. What sets Dr. Magge apart is not only his surgical skill, but his level of care. Providing his personal cell phone number post-operatively and responding promptly to questions gave me a tremendous sense of reassurance throughout recovery. That level of attentiveness is rare and speaks volumes about his commitment to his patients. His team is equally exceptional. Joy and Kelsea were warm, responsive, and highly organized, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. What began as a breast revision quickly evolved into complete trust in his aesthetic vision and expertise. I would not hesitate to return to him for future procedures. If you are looking for a surgeon who prioritizes natural results, patient care, and meticulous attention to detail, I highly recommend scheduling a consult with Dr. Magge. You will be in excellent hands!

I had an excellent experience with Keshav Magge and his entire team. From the very beginning, Dr. Magge was extremely professional and attentive throughout the whole process. The staff was always kind, responsive, and answered all of my questions clearly and patiently. I had breast augmentation, lipoapoda (liposuction), and lip fillers, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. They were very flexible with my surgery schedule and follow-up appointments, which made everything much less stressful. Dr. Magge has an amazing eye for detail, he truly understood the exact size and shape I wanted and delivered results that feel natural and perfectly suited to my body. The post-operative instructions were very clear, and the follow-up care has been excellent. The entire team is professional, caring, and well-organized. I feel very confident and comfortable with this clinic, and I will definitely continue doing procedures here in the future. Highly recommended!

Dr. Keshav Magge is All That!!!!!!

I am currently in the recovery process following my deep plane facelift and buccal fat removal, along with a brow lift performed by Dr. Magge. It has now been two weeks and three days since my procedures. Although some swelling remains, I am feeling truly amazing. Discontinuing my pain medication after the first week was a significant milestone in my recovery and speaks to how well the healing process has progressed. From my very first consultation, I felt completely supported and genuinely heard. Dr. Magge provided thorough, thoughtful answers to all of my questions and consistently ensured I felt comfortable and confident in every decision. His professionalism, combined with his sincere concern for my well-being, made a tremendous positive difference throughout this journey. While I am still healing, I am already noticing beautiful, promising improvements and am confident that my final results will look natural and refreshed. I wholeheartedly commend Dr. Magge to anyone considering facial rejuvenation procedures. The entire team contributed greatly to my positive experience, demonstrating professionalism, kindness, and warmth at every step. I would especially like to highlight Kelsea’s exceptional patience and attentiveness. Nurse Christina’s warm demeanor immediately put me at ease before the procedure. Shaila offered genuine care and support both before and after surgery. Penny is truly a gem, and I am also deeply grateful to the office manager for her efforts and assistance. Every member of the team played an important role in making this experience a positive one. Sincerely, Jackie
