Breast Augmentation Revision in Washington, D.C.

I came to Dr. Albino from another local surgeon, hoping to get a more encouraging second opinion after a double mastectomy and breast cancer treatment. Not only did I get an encouraging second opinion, my results are far greater than anything I expected. My reconstruction journey started with expanders, and for months I heard "you won't love your results but you'll be ok with them one day," and this was hard to grasp. I couldn't imagine looking in the mirror and seeing the remnants of cancer for the rest of my life. Dr. Albino gave me so much hope and optimism that I could be happy with my results. I had an implant and fat grafting revision with Dr. Albino almost 3 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with everything! Not only am I ok, I love the way I look. I feel like me again. I have recommended him to everyone I know, and cannot sing his praises enough. He is meticulous and professional, but has amazing bedside manner and true compassion for this difficult journey. The office staff is pleasant, and Heather has responded to about 80 emails from me without a single complaint. I am so grateful for this practice that gave me my confidence and my body back. If you have the opportunity to work with Dr. Albino I highly recommend him!

I met Dr. Fleury after having a complete mastectomy due to an aggressive form of cancer. I had a consult for reconstruction that I was still unsure I wanted. Dr. Fleury was very thorough in explaining all of my options. I eventually decided on the type of reconstruction I would have and again Dr. Fleury told me if I decided I didn't want to do it I could cancel the night before. I felt no pressure to have the reconstruction which in a way was incredibly helpful because I knew I had an out if needed. I had my reconstruction in August. Dr. Fleury was incredibly kind and understanding about all of my concerns and addressed them fully. The first surgery was successful. He gave me back what cancer took from me. I had a revision in March to clean up the area a bit, which is pretty normal after the first surgery is done to see how things look. Again Dr. Fleury was amazing. He asked what I wanted to fix and added what his thoughts were on some issues I hadn't thought of. Dr. Fleury gave me back my life in many ways.I feel like I am whole again. No more surgeries. I no longer feel embarrassed about how I look and see that I look pretty normal again. I look good in my clothes again and am not isolating and trying to hide what I look like. It is with deep and heartfelt thanks I give to Dr. Fleury who has been there for my entire reconstructive journey. Cancer doesn't just stop after you are declared cancer free and Dr. Fleury understood that. My husband and I thank him from the bottom of our hearts for putting me back together.

I am a breast cancer reconstruction patient. And this review is for the benefit of my fellow pink sisters. I found Dr. Albino on my own after having an extremely traumatizing experience with another plastic surgeon. Dr. Albino is really amazing. He is so nice and compassionate, and he listened to me and honored my requests on what I wanted done, but he also came up with his own ideas about things that could benefit me, which wowed me, as I had no idea at all about my options. To be honest with you, I'm really shocked at how nice he was to me because I wasn't used to doctors being nice to me. He also acted as my cheerleader. He was genuinely excited that the surgery was a success and rallied for me every step of the way. He even called me after surgery to check in --- no other MD has ever called me before, not the oncologist, not the breast surgeon and certainly not the last plastic surgeon. I'm still shocked that I spoke with Dr. Albino on the actual phone --- and I wish he were my surgeon from the beginning because I'll probably never get over the trauma from the previous surgeon. So if you are a reconstruction patient and are weighing which doctor to go with, I recommend Dr. Albino. Dr. Albino will be the positive closure and healing part of your breast cancer nightmare so that you can move on with your life and be happy. I would never lie to a fellow breastie, as I know the pain we have to endure going through the breast cancer process. I look forward to working with Dr. Albino again at my next revision surgery, and I am grateful that he made time for me in his schedule.

I came to Dr. Rao to have a double mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. He was my primary surgeon while Dr. Albino assisted. From consultations, post op appointments, revision surgeries, and emergency appointments, Dr. Rao and his team have been incredible. His nurses are so supportive and quickly respond to all of my questions. Dr Rao is an absolute master at what he does and does beautiful work. I highly recommend to anyone who wants the best outcome for their plastic surgery journey.

Dr Fleury did a great job doing a breast revision using fat grafting from liposuction from my legs and torso. One of my breast implants ruptured in February ( 20 years old ) and Dr. Fleury and his staff made sure I had the orders in place for a mammogram which I was due for and making the surgery date as soon as possible. Erin, coordinator, was in great writing up the detailed surgery options. Alisa and Alexandra, nurses, were excellent in assisting at my office visits. Sherry, a long time Coordinator of CPS greeted us on day of surgery, Diane was a fantastic surgical nurse as was the anesthesiologist. Dr. Fleury, who is very positive and professional with a good sense of humor was clear about explaining the procedure did an excellent job with the surgery. Breasts are perfectly symmetrical and great job on using the slimming liposuction. 5 stars for CPS!!!

Learn from my mistakes and do NOT go anywhere else! Dr. Kanuri rescued me from a bad tummy tuck, done 15 mos earlier by a well known northern Va surgeon. That procedure left me bigger than before the surgery and did not address loose skin from 2 pregnancies (i'm 47). The surgeon said he'd "fix" it, but both his opinion and a 2nd one came with dire warnings about my belly button dying in a 2nd procedure and an overall disappointing outlook. When i saw Dr. Kanuri, everything changed! He was gracious, kind, and confident in his plan to get me great results AND save my belly button or make me a new one that i'd be happy with. Five months later, i look like a bikini model! and i feel strong as ever with solid abs, a great figure, and my original belly button. Dr. Kanuri did a marvelous job with the surgery, matched by his compassion during the physical and emotional challenges of a 2nd tummy tuck/revision surgery. He was with me every step of the way, easily reachable by phone, text, and email. Sherrie and all Dr. Kanuri's staff are a pleasure to work with. So much peace of mind returns when your self image matches what is facing you in the mirror! Becoming a talented surgeon must be a long road. Whatever Dr Kanuri & his family went through to get there, i'm thankful for it. His care has been a true gift in my life. Thank you, Dr. Kanuri! I'll be back for future nips & tucks.

Cosmetic Surgery Associates and Dr. Frank Albino are simply the best of the best. After years of living in pain from a previous breast reconstruction, Dr. Albino skillfully performed a breast revision surgery that has changed my quality of life tremendously. His staff were amazing and I’m incredibly grateful for my renewed life spirit thanks to the surgery, care and treatment that I received.

Dr. Kanuri Did "Complicated" "It was complicated"- that's what I heard from 6 doctors when I needed to have a revision after my radiation treatment to my DEIP flap mastectomy reconstruction (using my own abdominal tissue vs. implant). Only one doctor had both the confidence and a plan that has led to success--Dr. Kanuri. He has given me back hope that I can have a better quality of life (more like my old self) after cancer. He listened to me. Explained all my options and related risks from least invasive to worst, from worst case to best case scenario. He involved me and my husband in decision making and checked in with me every step of the way. I've been blessed with great doctors and Dr. Kanuri is at the top of the list. I highly recommend him for your plastic surgery needs. Know that even if it's complicated, he's got you all the way!

Dr Rao did a good job. Hopefully after revision everything will look perfect

I had a very positive and reassuring experience with Dr. Frank Albino regarding my breast cancer reconstruction. My situation was challenging - 4 surgeries from lymph node biopsies to bi-lateral mastectomy to DIEP and revisionist reconstruction - and I felt well taken care of by Dr. Colette Magnant and Dr. Albino. I look better than ever which is a gift and that is due to Dr. Albino's amazing talent. I would wholeheartedly recommend him!

I highly recommend Dr. Kanuri after having explant surgery and grafting for volume of both breast from abdominal area. After suffering with symptoms from what I believe to be BII for more than a decade, with Dr. Kanuri’s help I now feel like I am in my 20s again (and looking like it is icing on the cake). Dr. Kanuri ensured I had all my questions answered and was available to answer any concerns I had whenever I had them. He met me where I was at and I felt he had my best interest and goals in mind.

Ruptured Saline Breast Implant Removal with no Replacements. Dr. Kanuri did an amazing job. The little swelling I had was gone after 1-day, and no pain at all. He is very personable and made himself accessible both before and after surgery with follow up communication. If I have the need or desire for any other work, I will have Dr. Kanuri perform the procedure. -KJ 9/13/2021

I met with Dr. Kanuri a month and a half ago for a face lift revision and other procedures. It’s been almost a month after my surgery and I am very happy with the results already ! Dr. Kanuri is very professional and skilled doctor who is very attentive to his patients and following up for postoperative time and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is ready for a beautiful change !

Got my breast augmentation done - Dr Rao uses preserve minimally invasive technique, With shorten of recovery time and you don't have to go under general anesthesia. It's done under Ivy sedation Excuse me....oh my God This technique is a game changer... I am only two weeks postop surgery, but I am Healed very well with no complications. I started going back to work four days After the procedure and my results are perfect.

Choosing Dr. Christopher Fleury as my plastic surgeon was one of the best decisions I made after my breast cancer diagnosis. From the very first appointment, he made me feel comfortable, and honestly, that mattered more than I could have imagined given everything else I was dealing with. He listens. Really listens. He took the time to understand what I wanted my reconstruction to look like instead of assuming he knew what was best for me. I wanted a natural result that stayed close to my original size, and every decision along the way reflected those conversations. Although I'm still in the middle of reconstruction, I already feel completely confident in where we're headed together. None of that would matter if he weren't exceptionally gifted technically, but he is. He performed my reconstruction after my double mastectomy, including tissue expander placement, ADM placement, and a nerve allograft. One of the biggest surprises was learning he could perform the nerve allograft. I hadn't even known that preserving the possibility of sensation was an option, and he took the time to explain both the potential benefits and the limitations honestly. Knowing I have a real chance of regaining sensation down the road is something I'll always be grateful for. What stood out just as much was how well he understood the cancer side of this, not just the plastic surgery side. When I asked about direct-to-implant reconstruction, he walked me through why it wasn't the right fit for me and why he recommended the expander approach instead. Rather than giving me a one-size-fits-all answer, he explained the reasoning behind every recommendation. That told me he was thinking about my long-term outcome, not just what was easiest. He also worked seamlessly with my breast surgeon, Dr. Bonnie Sun, and I can't overstate how reassuring it was to know they approached my treatment as a team. When you're facing cancer, that kind of collaboration matters. What really sets Dr. Fleury apart, though, is who he is as a person. He's warm, approachable, and has a calm confidence that puts you at ease even when you're overwhelmed. He greets me at every appointment with genuine enthusiasm and makes me feel like we're tackling this together. Those may seem like small things, but during one of the most difficult times of your life, they're anything but. You'll feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. There are many talented plastic surgeons. What makes Dr. Fleury exceptional is the rare combination of elite surgical skill, cutting-edge expertise, deep understanding of breast cancer reconstruction, genuine respect for his patients' goals, and extraordinary compassion. Those qualities don't always exist in the same physician, but they do in him. If you're facing breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis, I cannot recommend Dr. Fleury highly enough. I am incredibly grateful he's part of my team.

Dr Albino is great ! He readily stated he could fix my problem when three other ones could not. I plan to have an unwanted breast implants removed and a lift to get back to my desired size. . He is attentive, kind, smart . Office staff is the same .

I had breast lift with Motiva, mini implant and flank Lipo with Dr. Rao- He’s done a great job. I’m postop and feel the results have been really well done. It’ll take a while for me to see the final results, but I feel confident that they will look great. Bedside manner and expertise have all been top-notch.

Dr Rao is a miracle worker. After being told by another plastic surgeon that reconstruction with implants after double mastectomy was impossible, I was fortunate to find Dr Rao. He gave me new breasts similar to the originals. Dr Rao is a really wonderful doctor.

Best doctor ever! I had my breast augmentation with Dr. Rao and the entire experience was great!

I first saw Dr. Rao for a ruptured breast implant (original implants placed in 2013). He not only cleared the leaking silicone and replaced the implants, he did some kind of surgical mesh magic, lifting my aging chest and bringing a symmetry that I honestly don’t think I had even before I sacrificed my breasts on the alter of breastfeeding 4 children. Dr. Rao is that talented! Additionally, the office is not only efficient but so soothing, so relaxing that I am actually tempted to slip in with a book and a cup of tea just to experience again the ambiance, the kindness and beautiful smiles of his staff, not to mention Dr. Rao himself who breezes in and out in cheerful, sartorial splendor. Many thanks to the whole team!! Five stars all the way!!

Dr. Rao and staff have been fabulous. From working with the team through my double mastectomy tissue expander insertion/fill to final implant swap surgery; they have been professional, patient, caring, and responsive – answering all my questions and providing sometimes-needed emotional support. I’m very happy with the results. I highly recommend this team and practice. :-)

A month ago, I had breast implants removal. I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kanuri on all the appointments before and after surgery. He is very kind and has great bedside manners. Doctor Kanuri, was very nice to reach out to me the same day after surgery and ask how I was feeling and if I had any concerns. Also, after appointments he always contacted me by e-mail to be sure if I don't have any more question. My surgery went very well and I am happy to recommended Dr. Kanuri to anyone who is looking to get a cosmetic procedure. You truly won't find a better surgeon and kind-hearted person.

Dr. Albino and his team were fantastic! I was referred to him by my best friend who underwent reconstructive surgery after breast cancer. He did a phenomenal job with her so when I decided that I wanted my silicone breast implants removed I knew I needed someone that could help me look my best and keep the surgery itself as minimal and non invasive as possible. My case was special because I had the implants since I was in my early 20's (I'm in my late 50's) and every doctor I consulted with told me to just leave them in! Even though I could feel the scar tissue, they felt like rocks. I had a significant weight loss last year which made the scar tissue even more pronounced. From the consultation to the day of surgery, I was well informed during the entire process. Dr. Albino and his team were upfront about cost, procedure and the results? My results are mind blowing, if I weren't for the incisions, you would never even know I had surgery! My downtime was nearly non existent (I was up and around the week after surgery) and I had zero issues....the majority of the swelling even went down in a few days! I cannot recommend him enough.

I swear Dr. Rao is the best! I have no regrets going with him twice on my breast implants and a mini tummy tuck to remove excess skin. He is caring, attentive, and understanding.
