As a board-certified plastic surgeon and the founder of Ageless Impressions - Plastic Surgery Institute, I am dedicated to helping patients in the Washington, DC area achieve their aesthetic goals. A graduate of Yale, I developed a passion for plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where I earned my medical degree. Today, I am proud to offer my patients a broad array of advanced surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. Committed to delivering beautiful, natural looking results, I am extensively trained in procedures for the face, breasts, and body, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty, cheek lift surgery, and more. Recognized by a number of prestigious medical organizations, I am honored to have been named “Top Doctor” by U.S. News & World Report and to serve as a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

He also performs elective surgeries, which patients undergo to improve the aesthetic appearance of a certain body part.
