I had an amazing experience at Elle’s. They took great care of me and I’m very happy with my tummy tuck. Dr. Lickstein is a great surgeon and him and his entire staff are extremely kind and helpful. I appreciate everything Dr. Lickstein and all of the lovely ladies in his clinic have done for me. Would definitely highly recommend coming here.

I love my aesthetician, Brittany, at this practice! She’s very knowledgeable in all things skin care including brown skin. I did a peel here recently and she let me know that I will need 2 treatments and to trust the process. Thank goodness I did because my skin looks and feels amazing. She’s very gentle with my face during facials and caters to my specific needs!!
— Anita
On June 6th 2024 I had a partial tummy tuck and inner thigh lift. Dr. Lickstein was the most amazing surgeon I have ever delt with. Any questions I had he and his nurse Joanna were there to assist me, answer my questions, and make me feel completely confident with Dr. Lickstein and his practice to transform my body. I had a lot of excess skin after losing 180 pounds and Dr. Lickstein transformed my body. I feel confident in my clothes and without lol. But the best part is I always felt like I was taken care of and he and his team always made me feel amazing every time I saw them. I am so pleased I am going back next month for a breast lift and implants and skin removal on my arms. I can’t wait for this procedure. Dr. Lickstein made me feel like he was an artist and I was his canvas. My legs look unbelievable and my stomach is as flat as a cutting board with curvature on the sides to make me have an hourglass shape. If you’re on the fence JUST DO IT. No Regrets!

I could not be more pleased with everyone at Elle Aesthetics, but especially Jen Schorre RN, an incredibly talented nurse injector. She is so kind and personable, and you can tell that she loves helping her clients to look and feel their best. She takes her time to learn about you as an individual, and then customizes injectables to what will compliment your unique features. I’ve gone to her for Dysport (glabella and crowsfeet) and Sculptra, and the results are the best I’ve ever had. Her injection technique is precise and gentile, and it was by far the most comfortable I’ve been. I’m looking forward to working with Jen and Elle Aesthetics for many years to come!
— Tanya
Truly the best Northern Virginia has to offer!! I’ve had everything from tummy tuck to facelift to chin to eyes to lasers over the last couple of years. Every experience has been better than the last:) An exceptional team of people that really really care about the client and Dr Lickstein is a master! I feel so blessed to have found him and I totally trust him with all my care.
— Laura
Z is absolutely incredible. Within minutes of seeing my skin she recommended a customized treatment plan. I have hyperpigmentation from acne scars and rough skin texture. After my first hydrafacial, my skin texture immediately started improving. I went back two weeks later for a mini melanage chemical peel and my skin is improving day by day. Best of all, she was able to recommend the products that work well for my skin and I love that the routines are simple – not all of these 10 step skin care routines you see on TikTok. Z has made a big impact on the tone and texture of my face which I have struggled with since my teens and I will definitely see her consistently to keep it up!

I had been considering a breast augmentation for years and finally decided to book a consultation. From the very first time meeting everyone in this office I knew this was the place for me! Everyone from the front staff (Christine & Skylar) to the nurses (Aleva and Joanna) and Sharan were nothing but kind and patient with me! Dr. Lickstein made me feel nothing but heard, understood, and comfortable! I had multiple conversations and appointments prior to surgery to make sure I would be getting the best results for what I was wanting to achieve! Everything from the pre ops, surgery, and follow ups have gone nothing but smoothly! I was so nervous when I started this journey and by surgery day I felt more confident then ever. Recovery went smoothly and they were ready to answer any questions I had in the days after. This was the BEST decision I have ever made. I am the most confident I have ever been and Dr. Lickstein and his staff truly made this experience so pleasant. & in case you were wondering.. they look so natural and PERFECT. If you have been considering booking an appointment..do it! You will not regret it.
— Alexis
Zineb and Dr. Lickstein are phenomenal! Professional, kind, experienced, extremely knowledgeable, and will take your beauty goals to the next level! Z is nothing short of a skin and beauty magician! Dr. Lickstein can make all facial and body wishes come true! Nothing but amazing feedback from my experience. One stop shop for ALL things beauty! All the staff and nurses are great, too! A very welcoming atmosphere where you can make a plan for all your beauty needs. You are in great hands at Elle Aesthetic Arts!!!
— Luda
This is such a fabulous office and they do amazing work. The facility is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful/knowledgeable/supportive. I have Joanna for my injections and the effect she’s created is outstanding. I am BEYOND happy with my results from Dr. Lickstein and my results. Sharan is such an asset to them in every way. Best decision ever. You will be over the moon.
— Anonymous
My search for a surgeon has been quiet the journey. I am so happy Dr. Lickstein was recommended to me. His experience, knowledge and demeanor have made me confident and comfortable in my upcoming procedure. But I have to give the biggest shout out to his staff. One in particular, Ms Sharan. People tend to forget that office staff and assistants help make patients feel just as comfortable moving forward with procedures as the doctor. I interacted with many office assistants through this journey and none have been more supportive and motivating as Sharan. You will not be disappointed moving forward with EAA. You will receive support and results in every department

As a girl growing up on baby oil and SPF2, I never worried about my skin or skincare. Today, I look forward to pampering my skin, taking care of it, and reversing the damage done by the sun and poor skin care products from years past. I have been a loyal client of Brittany’s for several years now and she has made a world of difference. My skin is healthy and happy thanks to her knowledge and guidance with skin care products and non-invasive skin treatments. Brittany educates vs pushing products or treatments. She truly wants what is best for you and your skin and she genuinely gets excited seeing the results. I recommend her to anyone looking for a good skin care regimen or even just a little pampering. So now, thanks to Brittany, I enjoy going make-up free because my skin is so healthy and glowy. As I’ve learned, just make sure you always wear your sunscreen!
— Amy
Z is truly the Master of Ultherapy!! I wish I could give a 10 star review!! I had been researching Ultherapy for a long time and was skeptical of the reviews, wondering how a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment could possibly live up to the hype. After seeing Z’s before and after photos and finding that she is actually one of the top 10 Ultherapy providers in the US, I finally decided to move forward with treatment. I am so happy I did!
— Christine
The doctor, nurses and staff are highly professional and are dedicated to providing the very best service. My experience could not have been better.
— Donna
One word to describe Elle ” Amazing “!!! From consultation day till first Post Opt. appt. Amazing!!!! Dr. Lickstein did liposuction on my husband’s abs and obliques, just saw it after 24 hrs, they already look amazing even though it is still swollen. We both truly and really enjoy our service. From front desk to all nurses, everyone is super professional and super friendly, make us feel like home and the facility is extremely clean and beautiful. Dr. Larry is the bomb!!! Strongly and highly recommended Elle Aesthetic if you are looking for a 5 stars service and trusted Dr.
— John
If I could post a 10 star review I would not hesitate. I have been a patient of Dr. Lickstein’s for 18 years. I have followed him from Maryland to Virginia and I trust him with my life.
First and foremost he is an excellent surgeon. More importantly he is an artist and his talent cannot be compared to others. He is compassionate, honest and fully engaged in assisting his patients with becoming and feeling their BEST.
Dr. Lickstein will share and explain every little detail of how he can accomplish your desire to look and feel better than you could ever imagine. His continued interest after your procedure sets him apart from anyone you could compare him to. I have experienced multiple procedures over the years and will follow Dr. Lickstein wherever he is located.
My recent experience with Elle Aesthetic Arts and Plastic Surgery was once again exceptional and I was pleasantly introduced to Aleva Parker RN, Dr. Lickstein’s nurse who is an exceptional human being. Her patience, understanding and guidance were a very welcomed surprise. She compliments Dr. Lickstein’s mission of Five Star care and treatment at Elle Aesthetic Arts and Plastic Surgery. Together, they make the journey so much easier. You will not be sorry.
— Sheila
Aleva is an incredible injector. She follows up with you, makes sure you’re comfortable, & results are impeccable. I received cheek & jawline filler & she made sure I knew the swelling would last 1-2 weeks. It settled beautifully! I’m so pleased. Her eye for symmetry is unmatched. I’m so happy I found her. Z & Dr Lickstein definitely chose an amazing nurse injector for Elle!
— Laura
Great place and very professional and customer service people. Thank you all, and especially Z for taking very care of my skin. I recommend everyone to take advantage of the membership, very affordable and easy to keep skin maintenance.

My Fiancé and I went to get hydro facials at Elle recently and had a great experience. As a male, I feel as though it’s easy to not have a facial routine but due to the facial regiment recommend to me by Brittany Wilkins Licensed Medical Aesthetician I can see and feel the difference it’s made on my skin. Brittany did a great job explaining the process of a hydro facial as she was doing it. I feel glad to have someone to direct and guide me towards a healthy skin care routine. I already booked my appointment through December.blood forward to going back.
— Mark
Every time I come here I got so happy after all, I am in love with this place, so worth it.
— Judith
Dr.lickstein is a master of his art. 100% recommend him. For reference I got a surgical bbl, tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I recommend him to everyone! He’s amazing. Nurse Aleva is amazing too! Great team there! 100% Worth every penny
— April
Hands down the best medical experience I’ve had in my life. Dr. Lickstein is an incredibly talented and kind surgeon, and I’m beyond impressed at how much nutrition is a key component of healing (I wish other doctors would follow his lead here!!). The entire staff from highly skilled and personable nurses to the lovely front desk staff are amazing. My entire experience with Elle has been so seamless, very personalized and lots of thoughtful follow ups. I look and feel better now at 44 than I have in nearly twenty years!! If I could give more than five stars I would. I couldn’t be happier!!
— Kate
After having both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures with Dr. Lickstein, and receiving microneedling with Z, I can confidently recommend Elle Aesthetic Arts as the best practice for anyone seeking to become their best version of themselves. They go above and beyond to explain every procedure, answer all your questions, and they always keep your personal goals in mind. What Dr. Lickstein does is truly artistry, and the top-notch care his staff provides is just the icing on the cake.
— Jessica
Dr. Lickstein is the best! I always get my fillers with Dr. Lickstein. I’ve a couple of procedures done by him too, and I’m so happy with the results. He has a definitely magic hand.His goal is to make the patient happy. He always takes his time to address any questions and concerns.Patient and gentle!!!!
Love Dr. Lickstein and all his staff!!!!!!
— Elli
Elle Aesthetic Arts is the best of the best! Not only is the office the most beautiful I’ve ever seen it is also top of the line and state of the art. I have received many different treatments here and am always thrilled with the results. Z, Joanna and Aleva are very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly every time I see them. Z is the best in the field of esthetics in all of the DMV, without question. I have received facials, halo and BBL laser treatments as well as cool sculpting treatments from her and each time the results are mind-blowing. Joanna has such a gentle hand when it comes to botox and filler, she is super talented and always knows exactly where I could use it and where to place it perfectly. I have been so happy with the results from these ladies and my friends are constantly asking me where I go because they love my results and want to go to Elle now too!
— Alyssa
It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Elle Aesthetic Arts and Plastic Surgery for any sort of cosmetic procedure that you desire.
Dr. Lickstein is a Harvard and Princeton educated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who understands what it takes to make people feel comfortable and offer the best options to create life altering solutions that will not only enhance one physical appearance but also their self-confidence as well! He will meticulously walk you through step by step and thoroughly explain the procedure that you choose. He will make sure that there is nothing left to interpretation.
Sharrin will make sure that all of your financial questions are answered. She will guide you through the process to make sure that you are choosing the right financial option for your situation. She is also a great source of comfort and counsel to go over any concerns that you may have as well.
Aleva Parker is the best in the business as far as I am concerned!! She understands better than most regarding the procedures that are provided, and SHE KNOWS HER STUFF!!!! The aftercare counsel that she provides is second to none! She has an uncanny ability to explain the do’s and don’ts after you’re procedure in a real time applications so that you don’t compromise your investment!!!
If I had 10 stars that wouldn’t be enough to accurately describe the experience that I had with Dr. Lickstein and his stellar team! I strongly recommend that you if you have any desire to seek out any sort of cosmetic/aesthetic services save your time and go straight to them I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!
— Ryland
Dr. Lickstein and his team have been amazing throughout my journey. Quick responses to emails, answered all my questions, very attentive to any concerns and just all around friendly.
— Margo
I’ve gone to Dr Lickstein for longer than he’s been in his current practice location. He’s the best in his field and I feel lucky to “wear” the benefits of his expertise.
— Darilyn
I came to Elle one year ago for a breast augmentation and liposuction and I will never go anywhere else for my esthetic needs again! Dr. Lickstein and Z go above and beyond with their patient care, communication, structure, and kindness. It is a pleasant experience from the second I walk in to the time I walk out. Their clinic is also nothing short of luxury. You WILL feel like a price/princess after they get your hands on you. If you have been shopping around for the perfect place…look no further!! Elle has got you covered!!! I will see you guys soon!
— Camden
Zineb (aka Z) is not only the kindest person ever, but she is SO incredible at her craft; they don’t call her a Master Aesthetician for no reason! I have extremely sensitive skin and suffer from atopic dermatitis AND eczema on my face, while also being acne prone. With the number of skin concerns that I have, I knew I needed her expertise. I not only have SUCH an amazing experience (filled with laughs AND relaxation—what more could you ask for?!), but I always leave feeling SO confident in my skin. She truly cares, listens, and builds relationships with her clients. If you’re looking for services that are TRANSFORMATIVE, look no further 🙌 She is the best!
— Christine
I have been to Elle a couple times for different treatments and I’d give them 6 stars if it was possible.
I got lip fillers with Joanna, who made the experience very pleasant by taking the time to explain and answer all questions I had, since it was my first time getting fillers. At first I was nervous because of my low pain tolerance, but Joanna made the experience very tolerable. I loved her work and recommend her 100%.
I got the Cool-Sculpting treatments done on my waist (2), and my chin(1) by Christie, one of the medical aestheticians. She was knowledgeable and very attentive during all of the treatments and always made sure I was doing fine. Two months after my first treatment I am seeing amazing results and can’t wait to go back for more!!
The front desk ladies were amazing and made me feel very comfortable the moment I stepped a foot in the office. Will be definitely going back for more procedures 🙂
— D B
Ordered a bottle of silagen and shipping was fast. The lady that answered the phone was also very kind. Thank you
— Beverly M
Z is the best! She is very professional and knowledgeable. She really listens to the person and cares to achieve the maximum results. She uses many techniques and methods as she is very educated about the latest technology and knowledge in the market. My skin was glowing at the end of my Hydra-facial session. Also, I’ve noticed more clarity on my skin 1 week post the treatment. I highly recommended Z!
— Nawnaw
My tummy tuck by Dr. Lickstein was amazing! I never had a waist before and looked like a boy. Now I have a cinched in waist, and look like a curvy woman! I love Dr. Lickstein’s bedside manner and the fact that he is a perfectionist!
— Leona
Dr. Larry Lickstein and his team are wonderful!
I’ve gotten two procedures done by him (breast augmentation and brazilian buttlift) and love the results. They have always taken their time to address any questions or concerns I’ve had pre/post-op. And I called a lot during recovery!
They have always been incredibly kind and patient with me and never made me feel bad for constantly needing the reassurance that I was okay during my recovery. I even came in multiple times a week, for weeks, to have fluid drained and they made time for me. They never made me feel like an inconvenience and that’s so important when establishing and maintaining a client relationship.
Dr. Lickstein is always thorough about what will happen before, during and after your procedure and lets you know what to expect.
He gives you realistic expectations and will let you know what he is and is not capable of achieving, whether it’s just not realistic or may be unsafe for you.
He truly does strive to help you reach your goals while also keeping your well-being top priority. This is why I trust him and the entire team and will continue to return to Elle Aesthetics even if I do live an hour away. They are 100% worth it!
And again, the entire staff/team must take credit as well. They are all wonderful people.
— Ashley
I have been seeing Zineb (Z) for several years and I honestly don’t know what I would do with out her. I had a hydra facial today and, as usual, it was a wonderful experience and outcome. Z is not only experienced —she is extremely knowledgeable and explains what she is is doing each step of the way. I love that kind of attention to my specific skin issues.
— Tobin
Wow! Obsessed. Literally came from Boston to get lip fillers by Dr Lickstein. He’s the best. I really can’t ever go anywhere else. Highly recommend especially if you’re picky about your shape.
— Dhefaf
Came here for a hydra-facial appointment with Z after being referred to by a few people. She was very helpful and informed me a lot about my skin She used many techniques and methods that I haven’t experienced during prior facials. My skin was glowing and felt extra clean afterwards. I’ve already decided to add it as routine regimen and scheduled my next appointment in 6 weeks. Highly recommend!
— Wais
I can not begin to say enough about Dr. Lickstein. From my consultation which was not rushed and he answered all 28 of my questions – to the time taken to really address my wants and expectations. I love his realness and he will tell you, 80% of the final results are up to YOU! Folks, you get out of it what you put in. Follow his directions and you’ll be good.
The seasoned eye Dr Lickstein has in adding details such as proper lipo, muscle tightening and to what extent is unmatched! I was debating between his services and another doc, that seemed to run more of an assembly line – in grateful to have chosen him. Bedside manner is A+.
TRUST, you won’t regret your decision on having your TT done with Dr Lickstein, at Elle Cosmetics.

Dr. Lickstein is a remarkable surgeon. I waited 26 years to replace my breast implants and I couldn’t have gone to a better surgeon. Not only is he an artist, but he is very personable and really listens to what you want to accomplish. I also had a tummy tuck with him and it looks amazing! I feel incredible!

Z is a gem! I’ve been seeing her for many years and am pleased to follow her to this beautiful new practice. Great bedside manner and I am ecstatic with my results. Z is a national expert with the technology and her techniques ensure you get maximum results for each treatment. This practice has also invested in the next-generation models of equipment.
I recently had ultherapy and could not believe painless it was. I only had mild discomfort for about 10 minutes of the entire 2-hour procedure.

I’ve had two treatments in this place so far, the last one is a Hydro facial and I’m simply blown away! Zineb did an awesome job and she is simply AMAZING! She is very professional, friendly, and took the time to explain to me everything she was doing. She also showed me how to take good care of my skin. My face looks so clean and glowing and I’m loving it. Had a really great experience with Zineb and I’m grateful to have found this place:)

Wish I could give more than 5 stars to Elle Aesthetic Arts. Dr. Lickstein is beyond words incredible. He extremely welcoming and supportive from the first consult all the way through the post op appointments. All of the staff has gone above and beyond to make sure that they provided the best experience possible. Truly a team effort and every person I’ve come across while attending appointments was beyond welcoming and bending over backwards to help. If you are new to all of this, as I was, PLEASE go see Dr. Lickstein for a consult… you definitely won’t regret it!
— Flori
Elle Aesthetics simply blew me away! They were professional with a beautiful relaxing environment and I had the best hydrafacial I have ever experienced! Z used some amazing techniques and tools to make my skin feeling soft and refreshed like it has never felt before! I would highly recommend this place time and time again and I plan to see Z and her team again soon 😉
— Hope
Dr. Lickstein is phenomenal and a real treasure -he excels in his craft. I always feel at ease and that he’s focused on my happiness as a patient. I trust in him to go above and beyond to ensure I’m comfortable and receive the best care and service. It’s not a surprise he was voted the top doc in 2021 – ‘best of the best ‘ (Northern VA mag). The customer service and professionalism of his staff is also commendable.
— Priya
Z has been taking care of my skin for a long time. She is so knowledgeable when it comes to skin and non-surgical body contouring. I see her regularly for facials and would not trust anyone else with my skin! I have referred several friends and family members to her and they all love her and say she’s the best esthetician they’ve ever had! I would highly recommend seeing her!
— Rana
Zineb is a phenomenal aesthetician whose knowledge is astounding on all the latest developments in non-surgical facial aesthetics. Everything she has suggested that I needed to achieve my goals has been spot on! I received a HydraFacial that left my skin glowing a month ago. Then she gave me a BBL less then 2 weeks ago that I already see results from. I cannot express how happy and excited I am to continue to follow her expert advice. Her professionalism as well as her soothing spirit put me at ease. Knowing I have someone that I can trust to truly guide me to achieving the youthful skin that I desire whether it’s skin care, laser, ultherapy, or chemical peels etc. is life changing. Z is AMAZING and a true blessing. I will continue to give updates on the incredible care she has given me.
— Joanna
Z is absolutely the best!!
Second facial she’s given me and my skin has never looked better.
I’ve traveled to the best resorts in the world and nobody does it better.
— Derek
Had a Hydrafacial today with Zineb, nickname “Z”. I can’t say enough at how wonderful she is and my skin looks amazing now. It is smoother, more even toned, and really kinda glows now … I was surprised at how much of a difference it made. On top of that. Zineb’s knowledge of skin was apparent from the moment I sat down with her. She really cares about giving the best treatments and individualized her suggestions based on my skin type. She is definitely the best and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks “Z”
— Amanda
I was contacted by the office manager after the previous review and I wanted to edit the rating from this morning.. it was a misunderstanding between myself and the front desk staff and I was not charged anything for needing to reschedule the appointment due to the ice and school cancellations. Zee was not only super kind and apologetic but also made sure that I left the conversation fully satisfied and excited to be able to come into the office for the cool sculpting!! She turned around the entire situation and I feel grateful for her kindness!! Thank u for fixing this misunderstanding and thank u for reaching out to me!!! I appreciate it and I look forward to being able to reschedule soon!! Wonderful and above and beyond customer service!!

Dr. L and his staff are absolutely amazing! I initially went to Dr. L to correct an arm lift and breast lift and walked out with my forever doctor – he is THAT good! I’ve had additional work, including fillers, done with Dr. L, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get work done.

I had a great experience with Dr.Lickstein, he performed an abdominal plasty with flank liposuction. Dr. Lickstein is very professional with great bed side manners, he explains everything in details and allows plenty of time For any questions you may have. I’m still a little swollen, which is normal but I’m extremely happy with my results! Thank you Dr.L for helping me boost my self steam, I now feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin.
— Anne
I have worked with various estheticians for many years and I have to say that Zineb (Director of Medical ascetics) is the absolute best I have ever worked with, her knowledge of both services and products is fantastic, she really relates to her patients and their needs. I followed Z from a previous location over to Elle because she really takes care of me. If there’s a situation she cannot target she knows whom to put you in contact with, her primary focus is always client satisfaction and happiness. Z always knows the cutting edge products and technology, and I always know I’m in good hands when working with Z.

I went to see Lauren to get Dysport injections because I was suffering from TMJ and I also wanted to treat the lines on my forehead. From the beginning, my experience was amazing! Both Lauren and Dr. Lickstein were great at soothing my nerves and made the experience so enjoyable. There was absolutely no pain from the injections. I had been suffering from TMJ symptoms for months and it was getting unbearable. Within days of getting the injections in my masseters, my symptoms were almost obsolete. There was a huge improvement in my forehead lines as well. I would absolutely recommend going here, and especially for people suffering from TMJ, I would 100% recommend getting this procedure done. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Lickstein’s office to see Lauren for more injections!
— Hayley
Dr. Lickstein and his staff have been nothing short of amazing. I walked into Elle looking for a doctor willing to correct some past work that I had done (arm and breast lift) and Dr. Lickstein was more than willing to take on the challenge. He detailed what he would do and what I could expect, providing more information than any other doctor had done. His amazing nurses (Joanna, Lauren, and Aleva) made sure I had all the pre- and post-surgery information and were available via phone or email to respond to any questions or concerns, and they walked me through scar care, which was completely new to me. I was so pleased with Dr. Lickstein’s work that I quickly returned for additional consults and work. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking to get work done. Dr. Lickstein is truly an artist and my only regret is not finding him sooner!

The BEST Plastic Surgeon in Loudoun County (Northern VA!)
I had eye surgery (upper and lower) and lipo on my neck one week ago. I am 50 years old. All I can say is WOW – really WOW!! My bruising is almost gone, my neck is perfect and tight, and my eyes are looking amazing even with stitches.
I had neck lipo and Kybella injections at different times over the years to get rid of my sagging neck. I thought for sure I needed a lower face lift. Dr. Lickstein talked me out of that and did the less invasive (and less expensive) neck liposuction. My last surgeon had rushed my surgery and didn’t do any of the work very carefully. Out of all the work my previous surgeon completed, it looks like I’m going to have to have almost all of it redone. Dr. Lickstein takes his time, seriously evaluates his approach, maps out carefully how each surgery will work, and carefully and conscientiously executes his surgical plan.
After working for years in the medical field myself, I have found most surgeons either have meticulous surgical abilities or a great bedside manner. Getting both in a surgeon can be hard. Dr. Lickstein has an amazingly warm bedside manner as well. He knows what to say and when to say it to get you to hear what you need to do during recovery. He never rushes appointments and spends all the time you need to feel comfortable at each stage of recovery.
The staff is also amazing! Some plastic surgeon offices have these beautiful “billboards” with highly competitive natures. It appears to be a pattern in the beauty industry. Although every person working in Dr. Lickstein’s office is beautiful, everyone seems to work together as a cohesive team cooperating seamlessly for each patient as if they are their only priority.
If you are considering having any plastic surgery or face work (injections, etc) done in Northern Virginia, seriously look into Elle Aesthetics (Dr. Lickstein). If you’ve had problems in the past with other providers, give Dr. Lickstein a call. As long as he’s practicing, he will be my plastic surgeon!
I would like to stay, I’ve reviewed some of these other reviews on this page and cannot imagine these are for the same doctor. I’m writing this review in September 2021 and I can tell you first hand, he’s the best. A couple of these reviews are quite old and don’t have background context to explain the situation. Don’t overlook an amazing plastic surgeon for a questionably sourced review.
— Elisa
I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Dr. Lickstein and the entire amazing staff at Elle! Ari went above and beyond scheduling surgery and making sure the entire process was so smooth. Joanna and Lauren were a blessing to have during after care, easing my mind during the process (and continuing to do so). Dr. Lickstein did amazing work! He made me look amazing. I lost close to 100lbs had tons of loose skin on my stomach and arms that was making me extremely self conscious and causing some health issues. I haven’t been able to wear sleeveless anything, and definitely haven’t tucked a shirt in since I was a teenager. Just over 10 weeks post op from a tummy tuck, lipo, and brachioplasty I have the confidence to do both. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up to wear a sleeveless shirt. I also love my belly button! I could stare at my flat stomach all day. Thank you so much Dr. Lickstein for making my body look better than it did when I was 16!

Hands-down Dr. Lickstein is a true body artist. At Elle Aesthetics they me feel extremely comfortable at making the decision to book my surgery. I am three months post Brazilian Butt Lift and I am extremely happy with my experience. The surgery has been life-changing for me as I have been struggling with my weight up and down over the years including my hypothyroidism. With trying every diet and working out I learned sometimes our genetics can also be a major factor. Dr. Lickstein and the staff were there for me all the way through this process, post op appointments, and recovery. It made surgery a pleasant experience. Thank you, now I look like I truly feel inside.

Dr. Lickstein did my breast lift and augmentation and I am more than happy with the results! I visited a few other surgeons prior to making a decision on who to have perform the procedure. Dr. Lickstein’s office was ultimately the place I was most comfortable. The staff is friendly, and the Dr. is very professional, yet easy going and genuine. I would recommend Dr. Lickstein to my closest family and friends!”

This review is long overdue. I want to start out by saying Dr. Lickstein is an incredible surgeon, person, and advocate. I have referred multiple people to him because I truly believe he is the best around. He is very thorough and spends a lot of time explaining things. I am very happy with my injectable results and would book surgery with him in a heartbeat if I ever decide I need some work done. I have multiple friends who have had a breast augmentation, liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift with him who are all very happy. I highly, highly recommend him.

For those of you who have not met Dr Lickstein do your research and you will have a great comfort level at your first appointment. My experience was extraordinary from start to finish. The surgery I had was a Brachioplasty (arm lift). Unlike many of the patients who have this surgery I did not experience drastic weight loss but rather the shin on my arms lacked elasticity and I appeared to have the dreaded “Crepe paper “ skin that resulted in a miserable summer where I was always trying to cover my arms. On my first visit Dr. Lickstein welcomed my questions and was quite honest about what I could expect as a result. It’s not for everyone but for me a scar was preferred to the “crepe paper”. Finding the right doctor really pays off and I am 4 months out with beautiful scars that are beginning to fade already. Dr. Lickstein’s placement of the scar was so precise that from the front or back the scar can not be seen when my arms are at my side. I will not hesitate to use Dr. Lickstein in the future!

I had pretty obvious and tight scars on my eyelids after surgery with a different surgeon. The work Dr. Lickstein did to fix it, is nothing short of miraculous! My eyes look great – the scars were removed, my eyelids are perfectly shaped. As for the rest: warm, friendly and professional staff, full explanation of what treatment was going to be done, meticulous follow-up. Every step of the way, I was treated as someone special (even though the job was a relatively small one). Of course, I went back for more work (CoolSculpting), and I am equally happy with the results.

One thing you can call Dr. Lickstein is personable. He is able to personalize your care and treatment with his extensive knowledge and experience. I have seen him for a few injections and the results have been amazing! Dr. Lickstein has been the best at checking to see how I am liking my treatments and finding the best way to keep my comfortable during the procedures. I of course would recommend him to anybody seeking a provider that shows genuine care to his patients!

I value Dr. Lickstein’s opinion on how I look. He wants you to look normal with botox and fillers that you get on your face. I went in for a mini brow lift and what a great job he did. I am very happy with the results. My mom and sister were also very happy with the results. I had gone to other Doctor’s for consultations, but I felt very comfortable with Dr. Lickstein. He is gentle and very upfront with you and takes the time to explain different techniques to you. He wants the best for you.

I went to dr. Lickstein for a breast augmentation consult and immediately felt very comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and personable. I was all over the place with what I wanted and kept changing my mind but dr. Lickstein knew what would look best on me. He did an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier with my results (6 months post op). I will definitely go back for other procedures in the future.

After losing over 72 pounds and having moderate ptosis, my breasts were so deflated, no bra fit correctly. Dr. Lickstein performed a breast lift at the same time he performed a body lift. He was able to tighten the tissue and maintain a C cup with no implants. I am very happy with how I look and feel, and can wear the occasional braless evening gown.

Dr. Lickstein is amazing! I have been going to him for injectables for a while and I always LOVE my results. He is very personable and honest about your aesthetic goals. I love how you can tell he really cares about helping you look and feel your best. I would highly recommend!

I had always been concerned about my gummy smile until I met Dr. Lickstein! He did amazing job at making me feel more confident about my smile. I’ve done other injectables with him as well and all my results are amazing. I would highly recommend Dr. Lickstein!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lickstein since 2017 and have never been disappointed. My first experience with him was back in 2017 when I was shopping around for different doctors to et a tummy tuck. Prior to my consultation with Dr. Lickstein I probably went to 5 or 6 consults with other plastic surgeons in the area. While all the other doctors I met with were skilled surgeons, something always held me back from booking my procedure with them. When I had my consultation with Dr. Lickstein though, I knew at the end of my consultation that I wanted to move forward with him. Aside from being an extremely skilled surgeon, his bedside manner is impeccable & makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so pleased with my results that I went back 2 years later for a breast reduction and were thrilled with those results as well. I also see him for my injectables and honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else….my results are always natural looking (never overfilled or frozen looking) and I never look like a different person…just an improved (younger) version of myself. I strongly recommend Dr. Lickstein for any cosmetic or surgical procedures you are considering. I’ve referred several friends to him & they have been happy with their results as well.

Dr. Lickstein is a best-in-class, state-of-the-art plastic surgeon. His techniques are cutting edge and his bedside manner is top notch. I’m so much happier than I ever thought I could be with my results. He listened to what I wanted and turned inspiration pictures into reality. I think going forward people are going to be using my before and after pictures as their ultimate goal, so happy with him and so fortunate I found him through his amazing reputation.

I just had my Dysport injection with Lauren and she is amazing! She has the most calming presence, gentle touch, and skillful eye. I’m loving my beautiful and natural results.
