Recently interviewed by the uber-talented Jim Bergamo of KVUE - TV, Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jennifer Walden introduced the latest technology in her office, the Venus Freeze. If you’ve been looking for a product to rid body fat while tightening the skin, this noninvasive treatment might be for you.

Before the Venus Freeze similar procedures could often be quite painful due to laser burns, however the new Venus Freeze promises to deliver the results you desire without the pain you dislike.

Bridget Brady, 40, is a surgeon, an avid exercise enthusiast and a mother of two. Although she diets and exercises regularly, her last pregnancy left her unable to rid unwanted fat.

“There’s parts of my body that I would like just to be a little tighter and have a little fat reduced on,” said Brady.

When Brady heard about the new Venus Freeze being less time consuming and pain-free, she decided to visit Dr. Walden for more information.

“It uses radio frequency or sound waves to melt fat and tighten the skin,” said Dr. Walden. “What makes this different is that it’s painless - it’s actually pleasant.”

The Venus Freeze uses a magnetic pulse component that induces the release of growth factors required for the sprouting of new blood vessels and the rapid growth of skin cells. An RF component induces collagen and elastin production by creating controlled damage and triggering the skin’s healing process. The intended result is more vital, toned and healthy looking skin with improved elasticity and texture.

Dr. Walden said this FDA approved machine involves a modest fat reduction and skin tightening over a period of time. The results are not instant from one treatment, but with multiple treatments this machine delivers results, said Dr. Walden.

Venus Freeze stomach treatments last roughly 40 minutes and facial and neck treatments usually take 20 minutes.

Dr. Jennifer Walden was privileged to be recognized as a finalist in Austin Business Journal’s 2012 Profiles in Power Awards which acknowledges Austin’s most influential businesswomen!

Many may know Dr. Walden as an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified and fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon, however Dr. Walden is also proud to be a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, vice chairman of media relations for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Aside from publishing many articles and co-authoring a textbook, Dr. Walden also is a consultant to breast implant companies, including Allergan Medical and has also volunteered on medical missions with Austin Smiles, providing cleft lip and palate surgery to infants with congenital defects.

When asked what factors have helped or hindered her career, Dr. Walden said working in a male-dominated field has served more as an incentive to excel than a hindrance. Dr. Walden believes women generally seek other women to help them enhance their beauty, and that she has successfully created a niche for herself as a female plastic surgeon specializing in the aesthetic needs of women. Aside from all of that, Dr. Walden considers being a mom to her young twin boys her biggest achievement to date!

Congratulations to Dr. Walden for being a featured Profile in Power by Austin Business Journal and to all the other fabulous finalists and winners who proudly represent Central Texas businesswomen!

Take a look at one of many happy breast augmentation patient reviews from the web!!

Above and beyond my expectations!
by awgonzalez at Citysearch

I live in the DC area and saw Dr. Walden for breast augmentation based on the recommendation of a good friend. She and her staff made everything so easy and comfortable from day 1. She and her nurse were so flexible and accommodating with my out of town status. They answered millions of questions via email and phone, so much so that I hardly had any left by the time I saw her for my consultation! The office was cozy and warm; the staff made me feel so welcome. I am very modest and shy, but everyone was so professional during all of my office visits that I felt totally at ease. Aside from being an extremely talented surgeon, Dr. Walden has an amazing ability to really listen to her patients. I am small-framed and was a AA cup prior to surgery. I wanted natural-looking breasts that were a suitable size for my frame. She had implants available for me to see, touch, and “try on” for size, which really helped to get an idea of what my results might look like. Dr. Walden answered my questions and help guide me through all of the many options without pressuring me. By the time I had decided to go forward with surgery I trusted her so much that I gave her the freedom to put in the size that she felt would give me the best results based on my desires. Scheduling surgery was a breeze; her nurse Sarah was so helpful with all of the pre-op paperwork and arrangements. Dr. Walden really put me at ease on surgery day and both she and her nurse were so attentive post-operatively, answering all my questions and making me feel like I was their one-and-only patient. All of my follow-up visits have been just as pleasant as my pre-ops. Everyone is so sweet that I look forward to seeing them each time I go in. I couldn’t be happier with my results; they are above and beyond my expectations. My breasts are soft and perky and look very natural. Most people don’t even realize they aren’t my own! I only wish I had seen Dr. Walden sooner!

* Pros: all female staff, attentive and non-pressuring, readily available
* Cons: can’t think of any!

We LOVE happy patients and strive to do our very best every day here in the office. Take a look at this kind review from the web!

To all the women in search of the “RIGHT” Plastic Surgeon…

It was within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Walden and Nurse Sarah that I knew I was in the right place and felt an immediate connection.

Dr. Walden’s compassion and concerns were truly special. Her ability to listen to my needs and understand what I was looking for was indescribable. Her staff coordinator Sarah was simply amazing. Her kindness and sureness was extremely soothing and heartwarming. Tracy was always welcoming, kind spirited and bubbly.

As for the medical facility at Lenox Hill Hospital where the surgery was performed, it was beyond my expectations, clean and very professional.

With all of that said, and to ALL the women reading this…LOOK NO FURTHER!!! I feel amazing and am extremely happy with “OUR” result.

I would highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Walden and her staff without any reservations.

Forever grateful————AnnaMaria

Take a look at this review from the web….another pleased Breast Augmentation patient…..

Dr Walden is an Artist
by cleo12 at Citysearch

I was impressed the 1st time I met with Dr Walden and her assistant Sarah. They were very professional and very honest about the procedure and my expectations. I knew I was in a good hands the day I sent an email and it got answered within minutes and left a message and they got back to me the same day. That showed me their outstanding level of care and diligence. Dr Walden and her stuff prepared me for the surgery and listened to my needs. Dr Walden has her procedures in a Hospital that provides great care,costumer service and makes you feel in great hands. My Breast Augmentation is a success. Not only it looks natural but also Dr Walden kept my natural shape. I felt no pain after the procedure because I was given the best care after my surgery and I was prescribed the appropriate medication. Her work is a work of genius who cares. Dr walden is an artist but what really differentiate her is the great patient care that she provides. I highly recommend her practice to anyone that might be in need of her services. I can never thank her enough for the amazing job she did.

This is a web review from a “more than happy” breast augmentation patient….

More than happy!
by gemi523 at Citysearch

I had considered breast augmentation since I was 16 and I finally went through with it 10 years later. When the time was right, I did tons of research on my own about breast augmentation and the risks. I did multiple searches on Plastic Surgeons in NYC. Dr. Walden was the first and ONLY consultation I went on and I immediately knew she was going to be my surgeon.

I am a Registered Nurse and felt extremely comfortable and welcomed inside of Dr. Waldens office. Everything was clean, sterile, and warm. Upon meeting Dr. Walden and her staff, they were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Walden reiterated everything that I had done my own research on.

Being from Los Angeles, I didnt want the “Hollywood platic job look” and when I told Dr. Walden, she knew exactly what I wanted. She even suggested I could go slightly larger than I had come into the office thinking. I trusted her judgement and I couldnt had asked for more beautiful breasts. No one knows they arent real but some will ask me only because they are so perfect for my size. She was very honest about what to expect after surgery.

One of my issues while consulting with Dr. Walden was scarring. I develop keloids. She explained to me that keloids may develop from bacteria entering wounds and not getting appropriate attention to lacerations. Dr. Walden made a small incision at my areola and the scars are not even visible! When it was time for my stitches to come out, I wasnt able to make my appointment. Dr. Walden was willing to come to my hospital to remove them because her office was nearby. Though I didnt want to inconvenience her.

Its been 1.5 years since my surgery and I am extremely satisfied.

I DO recommend Dr. Walden to any women I meet who wants plastic surgery. And if I considered more procedures for myself, I would call Dr. Walden right away.

Today we revisit a happy patient who underwent a breast augmentation….

love the outcome!

I got breast augmentation during the summer with Dr. Walden and the outcome is amazing! My scars have healed very well and I’m very happy that I went though with the surgery!

* Pros: Example: best croissants in town
* Cons: What are the drawbacks?
