Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after weight loss, pregnancy, or mastectomy reconstruction. Our surgeons customize implant selection and placement to achieve natural-looking results that complement individual body types while maintaining long-term breast health.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening. Suitable for patients with moderate to severe sagging, this procedure restores a youthful contour while preserving natural facial expressions and minimizing visible scarring.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back using minimally invasive techniques. Best for patients near their ideal weight, this procedure enhances body definition by eliminating diet-resistant fat pockets while maintaining smooth skin contours.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty improves nasal proportions and function through customized reshaping of bone and cartilage. Whether addressing congenital asymmetry, trauma-related deformities, or breathing difficulties, our surgeons create balanced results that harmonize with facial features while maintaining structural integrity.
Medspa Services
Our medical spa offers FDA-approved treatments like BOTOX, dermal fillers, and laser therapies administered by licensed professionals. These minimally invasive options address fine lines, skin texture, and pigmentation concerns while requiring minimal downtime, making them ideal for maintaining surgical results or initiating aesthetic improvements.

I have had several surgeries preformed by Dr Friedman. I have always been thrilled with the results. I found him accessible, caring and responsive to my care. The staff is professional and knowledge.

After a few consultations with other surgeons, Dr. Friedman's genuine care and passion to improve people's lives is what caught my attention. I had my tummy tuck surgery in 2019. Dr. Friedman's care has been beyond expectations with follow-up visits included in the price until we were both satisfied with the results. I am very happy with the surgery and the recovery was very manageable.

PSIW is a wonderful practice. From reception, consultation, surgery, and follow-up, my whole experience was great. I highly recommend Dr. Forman. His bedside manner, surgical skills, patient education & communication are excellent! And special thanks to all of the staff! (I also love that this practice is truly paperless!)

I learned about PSIW through my daughter and have really loved the results I've gotten with Marcia for botox and fillers. They are good listeners and make sure you're satisfied. Looking forward to my next visit in a few months.

Ten years after my initial consult and surgery I am still referring patients to Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington. I cannot say enough good things from consult to insurance to surgery and care after. Dr. Foreman and his crew are all 5/5. The compassion, care and overall vision of this team are consistently above par. I look forward to my next consult and skin care procedures. You cannot go wrong with this group!

If you ever come to PSIW you must book an appointment with Sivan. She has been treating my skin for almost a year and my skin is so much much clear. I been in many places trying to get rid off my acne scars, pores, pigmentation and acne but the only one that actually helped me and gave me an everyday regimen for my skin was Sivan. She is amazing!

Dr. Forman and his team are top-notch professionals who treat you with the utmost respect, professionalism and care. Each appointment started on time, his team of nurses were kind, professional, caring and helpful. Dr. Forman is a master at what he does surgically-- but unlike many surgeons and specialists I have encountered, exhibits compassion and empathy for his patients in a way that makes you feel cared for body, mind and spirit. My surgical experience with Dr. Forman was 5-star from start to finish, and I would trust him and his staff to treat any of my loved ones with the same 5-star care.
