Dufresne is by far the most caring/professional Dr. I have ever know his work is unsurpassed, his knowledge as well I was so blessed to have found him on 20/20 during an documentary. I will be coming back for a visit soon. Thanks for everything you do. I love Dr. Dufresne! He takes his time with his patients, and if he doesnt feel like you will get a great result, he will recommend another option for you.
I highly recommend seeing him, you will not be disappointed. I absolutely loved my doctor. At first I wanted to have both upper and lower eyelid surgery but he convinced me not to have the upper eyelid surgery just yet. He is not only an excellent plastic surgeon, he's also an amazing reconstructive surgeon.

In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look.
The neck lift is usually part of the facelift. Cervicoplasty is the procedure used to remove excess skin that is sagging on the neck. Platysmaplasty is a procedure that removes or alters the neck muscles. Typically, a neck lift will last two to three hours under general anesthesia; if you are having a neck lift in conjunction with other surgeries, the time will vary accordingly.
Scar revision is performed to reduce the appearance of scars caused by injury or previous surgery. Scars are by definition permanent, but surgery can narrow, fade and otherwise reduce the appearance of severe or unattractive scarring, which is especially helpful in areas of cosmetic importance such as the face and hands.

I visited about five plastic surgeons over the past year to find someone who could repair the disfigurement caused by another plastic surgeon during the aftermath of an unsuccessful revised eyebrow lift. In the course of meeting these plastic surgeons, the same reconstructive surgeon's name was mentioned time and time again: Dr. Dufresne. "Consult with Dr. Dufresne." They were right. Dr. Dufresne is a consummate surgeon--professional, reassuring, skillful, knowledgeable, thorough. From the moment that I met him, I felt that I could trust him. He answered my questions patiently.

I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Dufresne and his staff throughout the entire process of having my surgery. He was very professional and has an excellent bedside manner. I consulted with several other plastic surgeons in the area and I am glad I chose him. He's knowledgeable, experienced, and a highly-skilled surgeon. I'm so pleased with the results of my surgery. Thank you so much, I will definitely refer family and friends to him. He's great!!

In 2017, Dr. Dufresne performed my rhinoplasty with septoplasty. I was left with a poor result with a significant dorsal hump. A year later Dr. Dufresne charged me for a revision rhinoplasty with the intention of removing the hump. I ended up with a "polly beak," the dorsal hump remained, my tip was extremely over rotated and unacceptably shortened. After two years my nose began collasping internally obstructing my airway. My nose was ruined, I was devastated!
I spent many months consulting with top surgeons on the East and West coast, some turned me away due to the severity. I was fortunate

I was referred to Dr. Dufresne for a vascular malformation that I had in my lip. Not only was he super knowledgeable on vascular malformations (he's written papers on the subject that are very informative), but he also was very caring and explained the procedure to me so that I could understand what I'd be going through. From our first consultation and through the surgery, I knew that I was in good hands, and never once did I feel nervous about the procedure. I am now three weeks post surgery, and I will say, I am completely impressed with the outcome of the surgery! Even when my face

Dr. Dufresne is my hero.
My first encounter was for a Natural Face lift which looks awesome.
I had a botched breast reconstruction from a previous plastic surgeons and I decided to have Dr. Dufresne do the surgery.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988 and have had numerous revisions over the years. No one has been able execute the revisions like Dr. Dufresne and now my breasts look natural for the first time.
I love that Dr. Dufresne explains exactly what he is going to do and set my expectations and he is really patient.
After having seen the work of many plastic surgeons I highly recommend

I've gone to Dr. Dufresne for various procedures during the last 25 years. Most relatively minor tweaks. Dr. Dufresne is very conservative in his approach to cosmetic plastic surgery so you don't ever have to feel that you will come out looking like a freak. His bedside manner is great. He listens and then makes recommendations and is never pushing a new product or surgery that you really don't need. I am surprised to see the negative reviews because I think that he is great.

My wife has been going to Craig Dufresne for over 20 years and after the initial surgical process of getting her “refreshed” he has handled everything from periodic Botox and Voluma to fixing the tear of the ear lobe. What has consistently impressed me is not only his skill as a plastic surgeon but his integrity and forthrightness. He does not create unrealistic expectations or undertake procedures she come up with when he thinks they are unnecessary. Both my wife and I seek Craig’s advice on medical matters even when it has little to do with his practice. Finally I would like to add a word

Dr Dufresne and his entire staff are very approachable and made me feel comfortable. After finding out that I had a basal cell skin cancer on my face he was the doctor I called. Dr. Dufresne had performed a scar revision on my face years ago and the outcome from nothing less than perfection. Even though I live in another state now there was never a question in my mind on what doctor would perform my surgery.
His front office staff (Maggie) patiently directed me what to submit to Dr. Dufresne for his review and recommendation. One day following my email to the office I received a personal phone

I was extremely happy with Doctor Dufresne and his entire staff , at first I was a bit nervous about doing a procedure but after meeting him I was very comfortable, I specially liked how he wasn't pushy and I didn't feel like he was just trying to sell me something. He listened to my concerns and did exactly what I wanted . I couldn't be more happy with the results . I only wished I found this practice many years ago, they made everything so easy and comfortable for me, truly talented and professional and the nurses were wonderful as well !! they are very skillful . can't stop

My experience with Craig Dufresne is the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor. There isn't a close second. I cannot warn people enough to stay away from Dr. Dufresne, for the reasons discussed below.
I visited Dr. Dufresne to get fillers in my nasal folds. It seemed simple and straightforward enough. However, Dr. Dufresne injected filler into one of my veins, which restricted blood from flowing freely to my skin cells. This causes "necrosis," which results in the death of your skin cells. Essentially, your skin cells rot at an alarming speed. Necrosis is extremely

This review is for a breast augmentation and follow-up care in 2017 by Dr Christopher Chang and Dr Dufresne- The pictures show the breast implant dehiscing (closure opening with breast implant exposure) 2 weeks after surgery - Dr Dufresne resutured the opened breast tissue with implant exposure in his office knowing I was leaving on vacation the following day where the breast reopened when I was out of the country on a cruise. Needless to say the resulting poor outcome and pressure ulcers from him "bolstering" the breast. I endured a terribly long recovery time before I had to undergo

Dufresne should be the one to fix it and they were very surprised that he didn't offer any suggestions for surgery

Love, Love, Love, Dr. Dufresne!! He has performed all of my mom's elective cosmetic surgeries in the past and the out outcome of each of her surgeries were nothing but perfect. He has taken care of my family and I for over 20 years. In these 20 years that we have been going to him we have not one bad thing to say about him and or his staff.

Dr. Dufresne is the best! I have had Botox injections several times with him and I am always very happy with my results. What I like best is how he takes his time to discuss my concerns before going straight to the injections. I am usually pretty nervous and I really appreciate how my appointment is never rushed.
The front staff is always accommodating and they are able to get me an appointment asap. The nurses are wonderful too. I am very happy with my results and my experience at their practice.

Please do not get tricked into any promotional deals with this office. I always wanted microdermabrasion and my boyfriend did a sweet thing and bought me a Living Social certificate for their microdermabrasion service. Upon redeeming it, I found out you could only use the Virginia office - which is way out the way. They also had very few appointments and all their appointments were during the work day anyway. No weekend or later appointments. I tried time and time again to schedule something. Since I work full time and had no days off yet, and they kept not having any available appointments anyway

After hearing raves about Dr Dufresne, I booked my first ever juvederm appt. The nurse that got me situated, said he was very "conservative" in his approach. I guess conservative means "you look no different AFTER juvederm". I had 2 areas that I wanted done and the areas LOOKED NO DIFFERENT afterwards. I called the office to let them know I was unhappy. The nurse, Kelly, spoke to Dr. D. She said there was nothing he could do except give me $100 off the price...
REALLY???
As a first time client, I expected this to be corrected.. I feel I was treated poorly. Go somewhere else
