Reviews for Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg
"On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!"
"When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!"
"Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have."
"Procedure changed my life - Dr Heppe transferred body fat into my aging hands. He made sure I wasn’t in any pain, did it expediently and recovery was easy. I’m one hundred percent satisfied. I no longer feel the need to hide my “ugly old hand”. I am now feeling confident and free. Great job Dr. Heppe! Thank you."
"My experience with Dr. Aflaki and everyone at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg has been nothing short of amazing! From consultation to post-operative follow-ups, I have been in the very best hands. I am extremely pleased with my healing, recovery and results! Thank you, Dr. Aflaki, for changing my life!"
"Amazing results - I look better than I ever have in my life - Dr Aflaki is a magician. I am so happy with my results . I was back to work in 2 weeks after TT and arm lift. Zero pain after 2 days. The scars are almost gone. I look better than i ever have in my life!"
"I had my breast augmentation back in May 2024. I am so happy with Dr. Aflaki and the work that he has done. I am close to 4 months post op and am absolutely in love with them. I was so scared to get it done because of all the horror stories I have heard from peers of them getting this procedure done at other places. But this is something I have always dreamed of and when I came in for my consultation I was greeted so warmly from the front desk ladies and the nurse that attended me that day Nurse Jamie was so reassuring and nice. After meeting the Dr I realized that this is an office I could trust. The healing process was smooth, I understand every case is different. For me I wasn't continuously bleeding as I heard that is something a lot of people go through. If I were to do it again I would."
"My wife had a procedure done over a decade ago that she has been very happy with. As well, we really appreciated the demeanor and the way the doctor works, no pressure, no false promises. She just had a procedure done about a week ago that was significantly more invasive than her first one. We drove back to Fredericksburg from New England because of the trust and relationship that had developed with Dr. Batista's practice. She had many options in New England but the relationships were not there and the demeanor of the practices were far more aggressive in pushing products. She has a healing process ahead but I think she will be very pleased with the outcome and I'm sure we will return if she wants any other procedures."
"Dr. Bautista is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and I'm extremely happy with the results. I should have come years ago! Less cost than I anticipated. Treated like a Queen! Highly recommended. Will come again."
"Great Aesthetic Surgeon in Fredericksburg - If you are looking for a surgeon to trust with your aesthetic surgery, Dr. Bautista is a great choice! Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg is worth looking into for anyone in the Fredericksburg, Richmond, or Northern VA area. Dr. Bautista is a kind, professional, and honest surgeon who is straightforward and very good at what he does. Dr. Bautista ensured that I felt confident in the plan and fully understood the risks and benefits of the procedure. I work in healthcare so I had lots of questions related to my procedure and he (and his staff) took the time to make sure to answer all of my questions and accommodate extra appointments. The costs were fair and straightforward and there were no 'hidden fees'. "

"my experience with Dr. Aflaki and his staff was nothing short of life changing. He was professional and thorough with every visit I had with him. I had a very difficult breast augmentation procedure done and him and his team created something so beautiful on my body that it has forever changed my life. I highly recommend him for any and all his services. I had a "mommy makeover" which consisted of a mini tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation."
"I did my research and I found Dr Heppe was one of Northern Virginia’s top plastic surgeons. When I met Dr Heppe and his staff, I was very happy on how friendly and knowledgeable they were. On the day of my procedure, which is done in the building, I was very much impressed with how the process was done. All my questions and concerns were answered. I am a registered nurse, and I am acutely aware of when infection control procedures are followed and not followed, I absolutely felt safe in this environment. I am now three months out from my surgery and I am very much pleased with the results. I did not have any postoperative complications nor any infection. I honestly can highly recommend Dr.Heppe. I had a brachioplasty done and it’s the first time in 30 years that I’ve worn sleeveless tops and dresses. I wish I had done this earlier! Thank you to Dr Heppe and his staff. I have sent friends to him and they are pleased as well. Connie W RN"

"Five Stars are Not enough for Dr. Aflaki. I did revision rhinoplasty and I cannot thank him enough for such an amazing job he has done. The best decision I made. He is simply the best, number one plastic surgeon."
"I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bautista and I am so happy that I chose him. I came into the office because one breast was larger than the other. Dr. Bautista examined me and told me what he was able to do which was stitch up the larger breast so gravity wouldn't pull it down so hard after surgery. Nearly 3 months later they are sitting evenly and I'm so happy. The nurses were great as well. I had other medical doctors and they ensured I got a doctor's note to approve the surgery as well as making sure they honor my latex allergy. Everyone was so nice and the process was just so welcoming and amazing. Highly recommend!"
"The results have been life changing - Dr. Bautista performed my tummy tuck 4 months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire process was significantly easier than I expected, from my first consult to my final post-op appointments. Any questions or concerns that I had during the process were addressed promptly, and the results have been life-changing."

"Exceptional Experience with Dr. Aflaki: A Life-Changing Transformation (One month Post-op) I recently underwent a transformative journey with Dr. Aflaki and his incredible team, and I couldn't be happier with the results. After shedding 70 pounds, I opted for a full Tummy Tuck, Lipo 360, and muscle repair procedure. The muscle repair was my primary reason for getting the surgery and I’m so glad I did because Dr. Aflaki closed up a 2-3 finger gap. From the moment I scheduled my consultation, I knew I was in excellent hands. Dr. Aflaki's expertise, paired with his genuine kindness and friendliness, immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, he remained informative and thorough, ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. The staff’s exceptional professionalism and compassion made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I experienced no post-operative nausea or vomiting, and the pain was minimal, thanks to their attentive care. One month post-op, and the results are beyond my expectations. My waist is beautifully defined, my stomach is flat, and those pesky bra rolls are a thing of the past. I'm thrilled with the outcome and eagerly anticipate seeing even more progress as I continue my fitness journey. I cannot thank Dr. Aflaki and his team enough for their outstanding work. My experience with them has been nothing short of life-changing, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Aflaki to anyone considering plastic surgery."
"I traveled from South Carolina to Virginia to see Dr. Howard Heppe. He was the best! He took the time to explain everything and to make sure I was comfortable. I had never had surgery before so I was very nervous! The results I received are far better than I ever was expecting. I wish I had done it sooner. The whole team at Plastic Surgery Services of FXBG are the best! The staff goes above and beyond! Very informative, polite and accomodating!"
"I could not be happier with the results from my breast augmentation with Dr. Aflaki. I thoroughly researched surgeons and found, Dr. Aflaki, to be by far one of the best. He worked with me to help decide what size and type of implant were the right fit for my body. I received incredible care from Dr. Aflaki and his team from start to finish. I now feel more confident in my body and cannot recommend Dr. Aflaki enough!"
"His work is incredible - I'd highly recommend him to anyone - Dr. Aflaki is absolutely amazing!! He listens to your concerns and needs, answers all of your questions and is very authentic and supportive. But, most importantly, his work is incredible and I'd highly recommend him to anyone and everyone."
"After hours of research and several consultations, I chose Dr. Aflaki for my procedure. I knew that this was the right decision for me from the initial consultation. I live out of town and the drive is 100% worth it. Dr. Aflaki is a perfectionist and an incredibly skilled surgeon. We discussed my goals and details of the procedure. On the day of surgery, the staff was caring and attentive. The facilities are clean, and the office team is warm and welcoming. The results of the surgery are just what I wanted. Dr. Aflaki achieved exactly what we discussed during the consultation and demonstrated his commitment to perfection in every aspect of his work. I highly recommend Dr. Aflaki at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg to anyone considering plastic surgery!"
"I was debating whether or not I wanted to get a tummy tuck for SO many years. I had serious reservations on doing an elective surgery as a mom of 3. I did several consults in VA and MA. Just when my mind was almost set for a doctor in Tyson’s, I found out about Dr.Aflaki from my neighbor. My neighbor looked amazing after her mommy makeover so I immediately called Dr. Aflaki ‘s office. I booked a consult for that same week. The whole process was explained and he answered a plethora of questions I had. Two weeks later I called and wanted a consult for a breast augmentation. They fit me right in for my consult and added it my surgery date which had already been scheduled. I look and feel AMAZING! I can’t even believe how amazing my results have been. The next day ant my follow up appt after taking off my bandages, I cried. I was so blown away by how amazing my results were just 24 hours later. I have absolutely no regrets and only wish I'd done it sooner. I would 100% recommend Dr.Aflaki if considering plastic surgery!!"
"Dr. Aflaki was amazing from the first consultation through all of the follow up post surgery appointments. He always answered my questions and was always available when I had more questions while I was healing. My results are great. I am two years postop and it still was the best decision I ever made, his staff was great as well. The whole experience was very positive. If I ever decided to do work again, he would be my first phone call."
"Dr. H. Bautista is professional and has your best interest at heart. Excellent physician and great staff. I have had a wonderful experience with him from the beginning to end. I have had one surgery with him for muscle repair in my abdomen and results have also been amazing and recovery was smooth. I highly recommend him."
"Excellent Surgeon, Excellent Results - Dr. Aflaki was great and the front office was well organized and helpful. I am very happy with the results of my surgery and would not hesitate to recommend this office to anyone! If you choose Dr. Aflaki, you can rest assured you are in good hands."
"Dr. H Bautista is an honest PS who has his patients' best interest in mind. I knew that him and his team would be my best choice from the minute I met them. Dr. B’s work was excellent and worth it. The experience and results were phenomenal. You will not regret your decision to work with Dr. Bautista. I highly recommend him if you are looking for high quality and a smooth process from beginning to end. I’m only 6 weeks PO and i love my results already."
"I was in second minds whether to use Dr. Aflaki because he was 1hour 40mins drive away from me. My friends had used other surgeons nearby to us. I’m so glad I went with my gut feeling because Dr. Aflaki was by far the best surgeon I could’ve chosen. Even my friends regretted not commuting the distance to use him. His work is extremely meticulous, clean and close to perfection. I found him very caring and had wonderful bedside manners too. He answered all my concerns and reassured all my nerves. I will very much recommend Dr. Aflaki to anybody looking for a top surgeon in Virginia."
"I was fortunate to have Dr. Heppe as my surgeon and I recommend him to everyone I know that is looking for plastic surgery. He is a very good judge as to what looks appropriate and beautiful at the same time. I look exactly like I did 15 years ago. Their office is friendly and welcoming. The professionalism is unsurpassed by any office I've ever been to. The follow-up after surgery is perfectly executed with the doctor and the nurses working well together, giving a tremendous sense of security. I would never consider going anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Heppe for your education and superior talent at making people look and feel their best. I'm so happy with my results. 🌼"
"Saw Dr. Bautista for breast augmentation and extremely pleased with my experience. He was patient with my questions and educated me on realistic results. I’m overwhelmingly happy with the outcome and without hesitation recommend him! "
"Had a procedure done by Dr Aflaki and it turned out great! His whole staff were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process."
"Dr. Heppe, or as I have nicknamed him, Dr. Happy, is truly a world class plastic surgeon. I had originally booked with a different plastic surgeon and after have a bad gut feeling, I did some research and found unfavorable feedback on said dr. Still wanting the surgery, I researched all the plastic surgeons within the MD/VA area and felt drawn to Heppe's credentials as well as client reviews. Meeting him in person, I instantly felt at ease and knew he was the Dr. I wanted to perform my mommy makeover. I appreciated his completely platonic analysis of my body, focusing on medical aspects, while also sharing his recommendations and expectations. Given the fact that the first plastic surgeon I had booked with felt like a used cars salesman, Dr. Heppe's technique was more medical and realistic focused. I am 10 days post op and am in love with my results! If you are reading this review because you need assurance to use Dr. Heppe or the extra push to go for it, do it!! It will be a day you will celebrate where you regained your self confidence! Thank you to Dr. Heppe and his team for not only taking wonderful care of me but also being good sports in keeping up with the antics my post surgical care support (aka my crazy friends) and I put you through!"
"I have had the opportunity to receive the services of Dr. Aflaki and he is the BEST. He strives for perfection which is what you need for this type of work. He is professional, detail oriented, compassionate and a perfectionist. When you visit with him, he makes you feel like you are his only patient. He is also extremely honest and committed to what is best for you. I recommend him and trust him!!!!"
"Dr. Aflaki is amazing! I had a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) with Breast Augmentation and I am beyond happy with my results. It's been a game changer when shopping for swim suits and cute tops! Thank you Dr. Aflaki."
"I had such a great experience here. Everyone in the office is so helpful and professional. I’ve had 5 large babies and had quite the muffin top situation going on. I can’t believe the difference the tummy tuck made. I’ve heard of other people traveling far away to get procedures done, but I’m super grateful we have such a high caliber plastic surgery office here in Fredericksburg!"
"I had a breast augmentation done in May and I could not be happier. Dr Heppe and his staff were very professional, helpful and supportive in making sure that what I wanted is what I got. I’ve waited my entire adult life for this surgery and would do it again with this team in a second. A+ all the way around!"
"I recently underwent a transformative journey with Dr. Aflaki, a highly skilled plastic surgeon, on March 15th. I opted for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, Dr. Aflaki’s commitment to precision and the compassionate care provided by his team made my surgical experience truly remarkable. Dr. Aflaki’s attention to detail was evident from the moment we began discussing the procedure. He took the time to understand my aesthetic goals and concerns, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. His expertise in the field of plastic surgery was apparent, and he skillfully guided me towards the best approach for achieving my desired results. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Aflaki’s expertise shone through as he performed the tummy tuck and breast augmentation with incredible precision. His surgical skills combined with his meticulous attention to detail resulted in outcomes that surpassed my expectations. Specifically since he had to correct errors made in my breast augmentation years 15 years ago. His ability to adapt to the unexpected was outstanding. The results were natural and beautifully enhanced my figure, leaving me feeling confident and delighted with the transformation. I must also commend Dr. Aflaki’s team of nurses who were kind, attentive, and exceptionally supportive during my recovery period. They ensured that I received the utmost care and comfort, promptly addressing any concerns or questions that arose. Their empathy and dedication made a significant difference in my recovery journey, and I am incredibly grateful for their presence. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Aflaki as a plastic surgeon. His attention to detail, expertise, and genuine care for his patients set him apart. As you can see on his great collection of before and after pictures on instagram. My tummy tuck and breast augmentation experience was truly exceptional, and I am thrilled with the results. If you are seeking a highly skilled surgeon who prioritizes patient satisfaction and surrounds themselves with a compassionate team, Dr. Aflaki is undoubtedly an excellent choice."
"The whole staff was amazing. I had a breast lift with augmentation and I love the results. I am no longer embarrassed about my chest. I also had filler under my eyes and everyone at work has commented on how rested I look. My only regret is I wish I would have done this procedure years ago. "
"I had a breast augmentation done with Dr. Bautista back in September of 2021. I couldn't be more happier and pleased with my experience. The process was so incredibly easy and exciting for me. The receptionists, the anesthesiologists, Dr. Bautista and all of his assistants made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I am so glad I chose Plastic Surgery Services in Fredericksburg and of course Dr. Bautista!"
"I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bautista a few months ago. My entire experience was fantastic! He is extraordinarily knowledgeable, patient, and always so kind and happy. I truly enjoyed the entire experience. He listens to your desires and concerns and is able to make you feel at ease. I’ve had friends who have had breast augmentations done and were amazed by my results and his impeccable work. I’m very happy with my results and would absolutely recommend him! "
