Hii, had my procedure on Aug 19, 2025. Currently 5 days post op with Dr. Franklin Richards. He was great, very patient, and polite. Absolutely lovee my patient coordinator, Mariah. She’s such a sweetheart, listened to my concerns, and offered very helpful insights and feedback. I’ll insert pics so far as well as before pics!


Stats: 5 feet tall, 100 lbs, 325 cc moderate plus mentor round implants under the muscle. Under the breast crease incision.

Hii, I’m one week post op now! I can’t believe how fast time is flying!! I’m super super happy with my recovery and how well everything has been so far (and hopefully continues to go). Swelling has gone down so much! I’ll definitely attach a picture of my day 1 post op and day 7 post op.

I’ve also regained nipple sensation in both breasts. Although, the left is a bit hypersensitive. Was cleared to start wearing bandeau strap today for half a day (for a week or 2 depending on how I feel about the upper pole).

Think I’m going to update as the days go by.

Wow, it seems like ages, but it’s only been 3 months, and all my wounds are closed. I have healed 100%. No complications at all, thanks to Dr. Magee, who was always there along the way, no matter what time I felt the urge to ask a question. It's like a new birth altogether, with my body finally looking the way I wanted it to. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can take a toll on the body, with other issues that cannot be treated with diet and exercise alone. The office staff was friendly, kind, and very accommodating. The state-of-the-art facility and surgical center were clean and up to date. I am extremely satisfied with the results.

Phenomenal outcome! In my mid-fifties and I was nervous to have my breast implants removed, but tired of breasts that were so large, and became even larger during perimenopause. Clothes never fit right and I was uncomfortable most of the time.

I conducted extensive research and I’m so grateful I found Dr. Magge! I was immediately put at ease with his down-to-earth consultation and expertise. He talked through my desires for the surgery and explained what was possible based on my breast type.

I opted for breast implant removal, additional breast reduction, and a breast lift. The surgery turned out even better than I ever could have hoped for and I am so happy with my (now) natural breasts! I was overwhelmed with tears a few times during recovery because I was so grateful. My breasts are the perfect, proportional size and turned out so pretty!

A few details on the overall experience:

Pre-surgery prep was so easy! I live an hour away and pre-op was accomplished via phone call.
I purchased the VitaMedica Surgery Recovery Support regimen and it helped a lot with
recovery. You can purchase from Dr Magge’s office for a discount, or you can order online.

I stayed at the Embassy Suites (6711 Democracy Blvd) the night prior to surgery and the hotel is
a less than 10-minute walk or short drive to the surgery center.

Surgery prep was the best I’ve experienced! Joy (surgical nurse) treated me with such care and
surgery mark-up with Dr Magge put me completely at ease; I felt so calm going into surgery.

I set up my home prior to surgery date with high-protein meals prepped, incline sleep area set-
up, and prescriptions/supplements labeled and ready. Joy gave me everything I needed for post-
surgery care, to include a lanyard for my drains. Follow the instructions provided and wear loose-fitting pants (not leggings) and a button-up top for post-surgery ride home.

I was diligent about resting (especially the first week) and not exceeding the weight limit for
lifting items and I had a fantastic, easy recovery! Dr. Magge called to follow up the evening of my surgery to check on me and I was able to ask additional questions. I transitioned to Tylenol after a couple of days.

Highly recommend purchasing the silicone scar sheets! Dr. Magge’s office stocks the silicone
sheets in the shape of the surgery scars to make it super easy. My scars were slightly different,
so I purchased additional silicone scar tape on Amazon to add coverage on the sides. Silicone
sheets are magic! I’m only 10 weeks out from surgery and the scars are already fading nicely.

Overall, I am so impressed with Dr. Magge’s surgical expertise, artistic eye for a natural (pretty!) result, and a demeanor that made the whole experience relaxed and positive. I am overjoyed with the outcome!

After maintaining a 200 lb. weight loss I was left with a significant amount of loose skin all over my body. I met with multiple plastic surgeons for consultations in the DC area, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with Dr. Magge. He and his entire staff are laid back and friendly, which made the entire experience wonderful. The practice itself gives a modern medical professional vibe, a contrast to some of the ostentatious office settings I visited. I also like that the procedures are performed on-site, reducing risks of possible exposures presented in a hospital.

Each surgeon I met with had presented a different plan for the removal of the excess skin, but I preferred Dr. Magge’s plan for combining certain procedures and leaving me with minimal scarring. This, in addition to Dr. Magge’s online portfolio and competitive price quotes, were major deciding factors. His own staff spoke to his meticulous work, and after my surgeries I couldn’t agree more. I have seen disappointing before and after pictures of people in online excess skin removal groups that I belong to, which make me beyond grateful for my results. It is obvious that Dr. Magge pulls the skin very tight and is precise with his incisions.
In July 2024 I had a breast, back and arm lift in one procedure. In September 2024, I had a tummy tuck and in February 2025 I had a thigh lift. Each surgery had side complications, none of which were a result of anything to do with Dr. Magge, however he and his staff provided excellent care and support throughout my healing process.
I had dreamt for years of being able to wear shorts in public, much less a two-piece bathing suit. Dr. Magge has literally made my dream come true, and I couldn’t be happier. A HUGE thank you to him and his staff and I look forward to my upcoming lower posterior body lift to complete my excess skin removal experience.

I had a breast reduction/lift with Dr. Magge in April 2025, and I’m extremely pleased with the results! He got the size I requested exactly right, and I feel so much more comfortable now! Dr. Magge & the whole team was easy to talk to as they explained everything clearly. He made sure I knew what to expect before and after surgery. The healing process went smoothly, and everything is looking great. I’m so glad I went through with it and chose him for the procedure. If you’re considering a breast reduction/lift , I’d definitely recommend Dr. Magge!

My experience with Dr. Magge was amazing! The entire team is welcoming and provides thorough explanations throughout the entire process. I did not experience any complications and healed well, absolutely love the results!

I met with two surgeons before selecting Dr. Magge for my breast lift with implants. The pre-surgery consultation with his practice was superior, all questions and concerns were addressed and I was provided so much insight and information and provided guidance and support while selecting implant sizes. The surgery itself was smooth and the results are beautiful and natural looking 3 months post-surgery. Recommend!

Dr. Magge is terrific, He is fantastic at taking time discussing all options and helping you identifying what you may want or need even, the feasibility of procedures and realistic expectations. He has a wonderful natural approach to looking amazing!

Dr Magge and the entire staff at CSA are amazing. I would recommend them to anybody for any service they provide. They are all extremely welcoming and patient, they will answer all of your questions no matter how many you have. They also follow up and check in - no one is ever hard to get ahold of or leave you waiting, which I really appreciate.

Dr. Magge is literally the best of the best and worth every penny. You will not be disappointed in anything he does, I would choose him and CSA time and time again.
