Plastic Surgery Washington, DC

“Dr. Manrique is a magic worker! I went to Austin-Weston to discuss having my implants exchanged for a smaller set and found that my last surgeon (not here) did not do a great job. I needed a revision/reconstruction of my breast pocket and a small lift. The lift Dr. Manrique performed for me is truly amazing. I have minimal scarring because he did not do a typical anchor lift; he was able to keep the scar just in my breast fold. As someone who has worked in the medical field and has many family members in the same field, I was amazed. I feel like I look more like myself, and a huge weight has been lifted off me. I have had the best experience with Dr. Oscar Manrique, and the recovery was a breeze. I had my surgery on a Friday morning and was up and moving around fine by Saturday when I came in for my post-op appointment. By Sunday, I was off all of my painkillers. A week later, I came back and had my steri strips removed, and I love how I look! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their patients and listens to what they want to achieve, look no further. It is worth every penny, and I would never want to go anywhere else.”

“I went to Dr. Manrique after having saline implants for over 25 years, and to be honest, I was scared. I knew I needed a capsulectomy and wanted to update my implants, but the thought of surgery was intimidating. That changed the moment I met Dr. Manrique. He gave me confidence and made me feel at ease right away. He was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and patient—someone who genuinely listens and cares. Dr. Manrique is not just a skilled surgeon but also an artist. He took the time to walk me through my options, especially regarding the type of implant that would suit my body and lifestyle best. He offered expert guidance but left the final choice up to me, and I felt completely empowered by his knowledge and support. His bedside manner is outstanding. After my surgery, he personally called my husband to check how I was doing and ensure my pain was under control. That level of care and attention meant a lot to us. Dr. Manrique truly has the hands of an angel—I haven't experienced any pain or discomfort since the procedure, and the results have surpassed my expectations. I feel confident, comfortable, and very grateful. I also want to thank his entire staff. Everyone I interacted with was professional, kind, and reassuring. They made the entire experience smooth and positive from start to finish. If you are seeking a surgeon who is technically excellent, emotionally intelligent, and compassionate, Dr. Manrique is the right choice. I am truly grateful to him and his team for such a life-changing experience.”

“The Austin-Weston Center has been nothing short of phenomenal from start to finish. From my initial consultation to the surgery itself and ongoing post-op appointments, every step of the process has exceeded my expectations. Originally, I was scheduled with Dr. Weston for my mommy makeover, but due to his unexpected leave, I was contacted a few weeks before my surgery to choose another surgeon at the practice. I decided to go with Dr. Kochuba—and I am SO glad I did! During our consultation, we made a few thoughtful changes to my original plan, and the results have been a perfect 10/10. Dr. Kochuba was incredibly thorough, answered all of my questions, eased my concerns, and was completely transparent about what to expect during recovery and beyond. I honestly never imagined that, after having a child, going through weight fluctuations, and being in my 30s, I could love my body this much again. I was back at work within two weeks, and just two months post-op, I was confidently wearing a bikini—enjoying my flat tummy and (not flat) breasts at the beach. Huge thanks to Dr. Kochuba and the entire Austin-Weston team for their professionalism, care, and incredible results. I can’t recommend them enough!”

“I recently had a brow lift, blepharoplasty, fat transfer & chemical peel under the eyes, mid face lift, lip lift, corner of mouth, and neck lift surgery with Dr. Kochuba. I knew I wanted at least 2 of those things but he advised me about what would work together best to still look like myself, only years younger. I could not be happier with the results!!! I look completely refreshed—wide awake and happy vs. sad/tired/angry when I wasn’t. I had wanted to do this for years but was afraid of the pain and recovery and also had no idea which plastic surgeon to work with—but I finally had to make a decision because I wanted to look better on my children’s upcoming wedding days with cameras everywhere. My daughter is a surgical PA and she recommends many patients to Dr. Kochuba. She urged me to consult with him, and right away I knew he would be my choice because he is extremely personable and caring, which I think is critical when contemplating something as personal as plastic surgery. The pain was surprisingly minimal—by day two I needed Tylenol only. After the first week and the worst of the swelling I was feeling so much better. At one month I felt like a new person, no longer invisible. At three months I went to a high school reunion for the first time. Now I can’t wait to pose with my beautiful children in their wedding photos! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kochuba and this experience to any older woman wanting their confidence back and to look as young as she feels inside.”

“Dr. Sigal was the third surgeon I consulted for a breast reduction, and after our thorough discussion and examination, I was extremely pleased with my decision to wait for his expertise. Dr. Sigal possesses a remarkable sense of humor and an ability to make you feel instantly at ease, as if you've known him for years. I never felt rushed during our consultation; he took ample time to answer all my questions and ensure my comfort. He embodies the qualities one seeks in a surgeon. The procedure itself was far smoother than I anticipated, with very little to no pain. Now, four weeks post-operation, I feel great with only mild soreness and am incredibly happy with the results. I have enormous appreciation for his wonderful team that continue to support me through recovery. My only regret is that I waited so long!”

“I’m so incredibly happy with my lower blepharoplasty results! Dr. Poindexter and his team did a fantastic job and the process was absolutely seamless. Additionally, Dr. Poindexter has the BEST bedside manner and makes you feel listened to and comfortable throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!”

“After losing 50 pounds something had to be done with my deflated breasts. I had consultations with doctors from Miami to New York and just hadn’t felt comfortable enough to pull the trigger. A conservative augmentation was important to me as I am the mom of 2 young men. I didn’t want to look “crazy” or overdone. I landed at Austin Weston after a friend’s recommendation. I showed up without a specific doctor in mind and it was suggested that I consult with Dr. Sigal. I knew after about 5 minutes that Austin Weston was my practice, and Dr. Sigal was my guy! Today, I am 4 months post op (lift, skin removal, 295 cc implant) and couldn’t be happier with my results. Dr. Sigal’s confidence is comforting, rather than egotistical. I knew my case wasn’t going to be easy, but I felt at ease before and after surgery knowing that I was in the hands of one of the best! Dr. Sigal exceeded my expectations with his care and results. I can’t leave out the fabulous support staff. Everyone really seems to enjoy being part of the Austin Weston family. Thank you to everyone at Austin Weston for five star care and service!”
