Our Story — Image Cosmetic Surgery Center

In 1995, Dr. Lewis Friedlander planted the seeds for what would become more than just a clinic — he envisioned a place where artistry, safety, and compassion meet to transform lives. Over the years, that vision evolved into Image Cosmetic Surgery Center, a premier plastic surgery practice serving Metro Atlanta, with locations now in Acworth, GA and Marietta, GA. Image Cosmetic Surgery Center From the start, Dr. Friedlander committed himself to rigorous training and excellence. He studied at institutions like the University of Miami, Emory, and Yale, and he completed fellowship training in breast surgery and oculo‑plastic surgery in Atlanta. Image Cosmetic Surgery Center Mentored by legends like Dr. Ralph Millard, who later called him one of the toughest and most determined surgeons, he internalized both skill and discipline. Image Cosmetic Surgery Center Because patient welfare always came first, Image Cosmetic Surgery Center emphasized safety, transparency, and trust. The Center introduced transparent pricing for many of its procedures — facelifts, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, neck lifts, liposuction and more — so clients know up front what to expect.

Image Cosmetic Surgery Center Beyond surgical skill, what makes Image Cosmetic Surgery Center unique is the patient‑centered philosophy. Rather than pushing one standard of beauty, Dr. Friedlander and his team take time to listen: to understand patient goals, to explain realistic outcomes, and to craft treatment plans that consider body, lifestyle, and personality. Because beauty isn’t just skin‑deep, their care embraces both physical transformation and emotional well‑being. Image Cosmetic Surgery Center Today, with multiple locations, a wide array of surgical and non‑surgical services, and a reputation built on honesty and results, Image Cosmetic Surgery Center continues to grow. Yet their core remains unchanged: helping people feel more like themselves, more confident, and more empowered through cosmetic surgery done the right way.
