Plastic Surgery Testimonials for Dr. Robert Sigal - Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC
Each patient we help becomes part of the extended Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery family.
“While I take enormous pride in providing quality cosmetic surgery procedures, it is the great feeling of accomplishment I feel when my patients see the results of surgery and are very happy with what they see.”
Dr. Sigal would like to share with you some of the wonderful letters he has received from many of his valued patients.
Dear Dr. Sigal,
I want to tell you how thrilled I am with the results of my rhinoplasty. I knew my nose was a challenge to even the most experienced surgeon, and I had almost given up hope that it would ever look normal. But after seeing the beautiful results you achieved on my sister, I decided to make an appointment. I am so glad I have found you! My appearance after surgery has exceeded, by far, all of my expectations.
I had researched and consulted other surgeons over the years but had always left disappointed. One sad attempt at surgery with another doctor turned my towering sundial into an Olympic-sized ski jump, which was not much more flattering on my otherwise small, delicately featured face. But I knew I could try again after talking with you.
Even with the bandage and two black eyes, I could tell I was going to love the results: the radix was considerably lower and narrower, and the angle and distance of projection complemented my cheekbones and jaw line. And when my sister saw my nostrils, she gasped… They were so much smaller and rounder than the almost inch-long slits they had once been.
It has been nine weeks since my surgery, and I am constantly finding new things to be thankful for. Everyday activities like shopping are more pleasant, since I now feel gadabout how i look in public. And dressing for special occasions is a lot more fun. I actually like my face in the mirror. This was inconceivable before!
Not only am I pleased with the results, but I want to thank you and everyone else at Austin-Weston for making the process enjoyable, too. Cheri's encouragement and interest in me reflected the integrity of your practice. Lupe did a fantastic job of (almost) painlessly removing my splint. The anesthesiologist and all of the OR staff were so adept at engaging me in cheerful conversation that my anxiety level at approaching the operating room was much lower than is normal for me. And the fact that so many Austin-Weston employees were willing to share their experience reassured me that I was making the right decision in trusting you. One OR staff member told me you had "rescued" her nose. I thought she looked perfect. She explained that her nose wasn't "perfect," but it wasn't perfect to her. I can now say the same thing! Thanks, again.
Sincerely,
A.K.
Dr. Sigal,
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your generosity of your time as well as the kindness that you have bestowed upon me.
Throughout my life, I have always battled with my hips, buttocks and legs. The fact that you were so receptive in bringing my back in a second time to achieve that "straight line" along my hips, means more to me than I can express.
I feel very fortunate to have a surgeon like you who is not only talented in his "art work", but who also has a very big heart.
Sincerely,
J.M.
Dear Rob,
"You give so much of yourself in the kindness you show and the lives you touch. That's why you deserve a heartfelt "thank you" and a wish that all the goodness you share comes back to you."
You are so special -
I don't remember if I told you how much I appreciate all your help with my friend Barbara & me.
love coming down to see you. You always make me smile and feel good about me.
All my love.
Dr. Sigal,
I just want to say thanks so much for the wonderful job you did on my surgeries.
You are the best by far!
Dear Dr. Sigal,
Thank you very much.
I was feeling very down about myself.
You have put the gleam back in my face.
I feel very good about myself because of you - and your staff.
Words cannot express what you have done for me.
Thankyou Very Much.
P.S. You and your staff enjoy the nut rolls.
My Dear Dr. Sigal,
If I were a poet, I would be better able to express the new-found happiness you’ve given me.
I’ve lived a very good life and have been blessed in innumerable ways, and worrying bout my appearance should not have played a part in my outlook on this life. I suppose, however, the curse of being human got to me; I was miserable in my own skin.
Shopping for clothing was no fun; I avoided invitations to so many events because I didn’t feel I’d “look right”. I have passed on cruises, trips to the pool or beach, parties and more because I was so unhappy with my appearance.
It took considerable “self-talk” to get me to face you about this body. Cheri was so certain I’d be thrilled with the outcome of anything you’d do and with her encouragement, and your confident manner, I was able to overcome the indecision.
I am so happy with my new look and the new feeling I have about myself. My wonderful husband, who loved me even when I looked like a sharpei, is thrilled with the new me; he never held me back from doing this surgery, but assured me daily that I didn’t “need” it. He totally understands now what the transformation means.
I thank you, sincerely, for your loving nature and your skill and dedication. Please let your wonderful staff know that they contributed in a great way to a life-altering experience that has meant the world to me. It is important that you know, too, how lucky you are to have people like them surrounding and supporting your talents.
I could go on, but I’ll put it simply, I love you!
God bless you and yours always,
N.N.

Dear Dr. Sigal,
I finally have gotten the chance to sit down a write a letter of thanks to you and your staff! It has been quite a while since I have seen you, but I have fond memories (and some scary) of you, my surgery, supporting staff, and my healing process.
Thank you so much for everything! I do not regret my decision to have a breast reduction for one second!
The last time you saw me, my breasts had gotten a little larger than the size that they were right after the surgery. I feel that it was due to weight gain or maybe my breasts were rebelling. Who knows? You’ll be happy to know that I am on a serious, but safe, diet and am working hard to lose those extra pounds. I finally discovered the willpower within me to do this. The next time that I see you (yes, there will be a next time), I want to look fabulous!
Once again, thank you for everything that you have done for me! This kindness, medical attention, genuine concern, and smiling staff are greatly appreciated!
With sincere thanks,
E
P.S. – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Dr. Sigal,
It’s been 3 ½ weeks since you performed a tummy tuck and flank liposuction procedure on me. Your talent as a surgeon is evident every time I look in the mirror and hardly recognize myself!
I can’t begin to thank you and your staff enough for all you’ve done for me. The flower arrangement I received from your center was beautiful and much appreciated.
Your bedside manner is impeccable and I’ll miss not seeing you on a regular basis. Thanks again for making my life’s journey so much better!
Love,
S.P.
P.S. Upon my retirement from the federal service, I will no longer walk the halls of the Pentagon.
However, I’d love to walk the halls of your clinic if there’s an employment opportunity you believe I’d be qualified for on your staff!
Dear Dr. Sigal,
I recall leaving your office with what I thought was anquish on your face; but, I want you to know that my face is almost healed. I shall make an appointment later so that you may document your outstanding skills.
I am truly thankful and most appreciative of your excellent care and gentle kindness. (am thankful to Pattie also).
Sincerely
L.
Dr. Sigal, 
Just a token of appreciation for your skill as a surgeon and your goodness as a person. Certainly thin thighs are every girl's dream, but banishing the bald spot was tops on my list. You are a genius! a master! an artist!
Thanks again!

Dear Dr. Sigal,
When I was in to see you on Friday, I was so anxious to go over my "list" of concerns/questions that I neglected to tell you how pleased I am with the surgery you performed on me and what a nice job you did.
Also, the attentiveness, care, and personable manner demonstrated by you, Cass and the rest of your team really makes a difference.
Thank you!
See you in a couple of weeks.
J.S.
Dr. Sigal,
Thanks a lot for your support and good attention. You've helped me become less of a caterpillar and more of a butterfly.

Capture the magic.
Hi Dr. Sigal,
Well, you sure helped me to capture some magic this year by doing such excellent work on my face. Each time I look in the mirror, stop to really look, and smile, not turn away, I thank you and all the talented nurses who assisted you.
I wish you and all who have helped me, worked on me, talked to me, encouraged me there the most wonderful holidays imaginable.
All the best to the Best,
J. W.
P.S.--thanks so much for sending Jennifer in to talk to me about losing weight. She inspired me to get to it, and I've made some real progress in slimming down. (yay!)
Have I mentioned how grateful I am?
Dr. Sigal,
Thank you BIG TIME!
All of you are great - the cosmetic surgery has been and continues to be a wonderful experience.
People have always been asking me who my doctor is and I have always been referring you guys.
L.P.
PRIOR TO PROCEDURE:
Dear Dr. Sigal,
I have contemplated for a few years whether to have a breast augmentation preformed. After realizing that I would most likely regret not having the procedure done, I decided to have a consult. The Austin-Weston Center came highly recommended by previous breast augmentation patients.
After the initial consult I was certain that this was a procedure I wanted to pursue. Eagerly gathering my f finances, I then had a second consult about a year later and subsequently scheduled my pre-op and surgery date that day.
My biggest fear of the procedure was the risk of having any or all of my breasts become numb or desensitized from the procedure and choosing the appropriate size. I was also concerned that the size I choose (31 0 cc) might be a bit smaller than I would like; however, I did not want the risk of visible "rippling" from the next size (390 cc).
POST PROCEDURE:
Dr. Sigal,
It has only been 2 1/2 weeks and I can't thank you enough for your surgical expertise.
Not only do I have all the sensation in my breasts, I have a confidence I never thought possible through this procedure (and still a little pain - as to be expected).
I can finally buy a bra from Victoria's Secret that I love, fits and doesn't have padding! You have proportioned my breast to my figure and I am very happy to say the least.
I just want to say "thank you", again in admiration of your surgical ability. You will be highly recommended on my list.
Sincerely,
C.G.
Dear Dr. Sigal,
When I first came to you I had a dream that I have secretly carried my entire adult life. In my assumption that I couldn't have it all, yet unable to release it, I telepathically "willed" you to "know" my dreams - silly, poignant.
I dutifully entered surgery knowing that my body would be greatly improved and that I would be pleased, chastizing myself to suppress that damn dream.
Upon awakening from surgery somehow I just knew. My hands began to glide over my body feeling my dream. I was washed with joy, magic had happened, and I did have telepathic abilities!
Presently, I'm staying the course of recovery tolerating lumpy, sore bruises and swollen to my former plumpness, trying to control the giddy delight of what I know I will be in three months.
Dr. Sigal, thanks for the "knowing" - thanks for the joy.

Dear Dr. Sigal,
I am writing this letter on the afternoon of my post-op visit to your office.
After I left the Austin-Weston Center today, I ended up sitting in our car and crying--not because I was upset, but because I was so deeply relieved. With one glimpse of my "before" photos in your office, I realized just how much you had done during my surgery.
In my younger years, I had a nice figure and didn't think much about my appearance. Then, after giving birth to two (large!) babies, one of them by Cesarean section, I had gained 60 pounds and lost any semblance of muscle tone in my stomach. I also had two abdominal surgeries over a six-year period, which left my belly even more disfigured. I was tired of spending my youth being misshapen and miserable.
When I finally summoned the courage to come to your office for a consultation, I was deeply embarrassed to have even a surgeon or nurse see me unclothed. You can imagine how difficult it was to go to the pool in a bathing suit or, worse, have my husband see me unclothed. (This inhibition even contributed to the breakup of my six-year marriage). While filling out the forms in your office that first day, I refused to give permission for the Austin-Weston Center to use my "before and after" photos; even though they would have been anonymous, I was too embarrassed to have them seen by anyone.
Now, three weeks after an abdominoplasty and major liposuction, I still have swelling and pain, and a large incision scar from hip to hip. Yet even with the scar and considerable swelling, I am already wearing shorts and panties that are one to two sizes smaller. I have an actual waist now, and a much flatter belly.
I've already been able to enjoy appreciative looks from strangers; the relief of throwing away the "circus tent" shorts; the delight in wearing bikini underwear for the first time in seven years. What's more, you not only removed the ugly purple scar left on my hip from a previous operation, but also fashioned an adorable new belly button to replace the old one. What a wonderful bonus!
While it cost a handsome sum of money to have this surgery, and the recuperation was not easy, I feel that somehow I still owe you an enormous debt of gratitude. Your skill has taken away the ravages of pregnancy, abdominal surgeries, and weight gain. You have given me back my pride, and I can't thank you enough.
Dear Dr. Sigal,
I have been meaning to write this note for some time now but always got side tracked. However, this weekend I was in Boston at a fancy event and received so many compliments on my looks - especially from my escort - that I could no longer postpone it.
I want to say thank you! for taking the care in giving me a rejuvenated face. Everyone who knows I had a facelift invariably says "you look so natural" and "he did a great job".
Those who don't know, study me trying to define or discern the difference. When they can't figure it out they tell me I never looked so good. That's when I tell them a great haircut does wonders.
However, I know that it was your skill as a surgeon and your creativity coupled with a keen sense of insight that made the difference.
So, again, let me say thanks. I couldn't be more pleased.
Sincerely,
B.K.
Dr. Sigal,
Just wanted to say thank you for going the EXTRA mile for me and that I really appreciate it….
Hope you like them!
M.J.
Dr. Sigal,
I wish to extend my appreciation to you and your staff for your attention and expertise during my reconstructive surgery performed at your center earlier this month. It was a refreshing change from the usual medical encounter to which I have grown accustomed.
To me, the skill and dedication of you and your staff are models of care and compassion.
I wish all of you a happy holiday!
Very truly yours,
J.R.
