“Success is a happy patient who is prepared, informed and has realistic expectations,” says Dr. Adam Tattelbaum, who has been recognized and awarded multiple times by Washingtonian and Bethesda Magazine.
With more than three decades of experience, Dr. Tattelbaum prioritizes making a connection, developing trust with his patients. He considers it an honor to treat his patients through surgery and does not take the trust they put in him for granted. His love of teaching is evident in his detailed consultations, blogs and websites.
It is important to him to help patients feel “normal” again. “Sometimes you just can’t make the changes you want or tighten loose skin despite your best efforts,” he says. “That’s where I come in.”
Because each patient’s needs are unique, he works with each person to formulate a common sense plan that will realize their goals. He thinks that it is just as important to point out when a particular procedure would not be appropriate for a patient as when they would benefit from it.
In cosmetic surgery, he believes that simple is often best and looks the most natural. “The best result is often the work no one knows you have had,” he says. “I only make the kind of recommendations to patients that I would make to someone dear to me.”
