All I can say is WOW-Dr. Lawrence is my HERO! I am 44 years old and I am 7 days post op from a lower face and neck lift. I look amazing! My neck and jowls have bothered me since my 20s. I am so glad that I trusted Dr. Lawrence with my procedure. She is a rockstar surgeon. I had very little swelling and almost no bruising. My incisions are well hidden and I look incredible. I haven’t smiled like this in a long time. My husband and I looked at my pre-op photos today compared to the new me and he said... "Wow- you looked so unhappy in these and now you have a different glow to you!" From the consult to the surgery, Dr. Lawrence and her staff have gone above and beyond for me. They are so kind and have the best bedside manner. I had a mild freak out after surgery with the head wrap and Dr. Lawrence was happy to redo it for me (several times) until I felt comfortable. She totally put me at ease. Thank you Dr. Lawrence, Maryann, Aubrey and the entire staff. You have made me feel like myself again. I can’t thank you enough! More
I’ve had several procedures at this office, and I’ve been very happy at the outcomes for all of them, One of the procedures was the PDO facelift. I had sagging jowls and a small chin that made them look even worse. I am scared of surgery, so I thought I’d look into the PDO. I didn’t look normal for about 3 weeks, which, for some reason, I wasn’t expecting. One side of my face was swollen and the other wasn’t - I thought maybe they’d messed up. I will say that Dr. Lawrence was very supportive, even offering to do the procedure again or something else to fix it if it remained a problem. The swelling finally went down, but then I didn’t see very much difference for the next several months. However, it’s now been a year, and the collagen production has kicked in. I now look 10 years younger than my age, did not pay a fortune, and did not have to take the risk that comes with any surgery.I see that the person I had for this (Angela) is no longer at the office,, but I wanted to explain my experience for people who might be considering this procedure. I am going to do it again in a few years. More
Couldn’t be happier with rhinoplasty 2 months post-op - extremely skilled - I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH MY RHINOPLASTY. Extremely skilled, caring, and a true artist!! She also sees beyond the physical to the person inside. Dr. Lawrence & her staff are professional as expected but manage to make you feel special with their compassion & kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Lawrence! More
8 months post op - I had a bandaid face lift with Dr. Marisa Lawrence. I am very pleased with her work, it’s only been 2 days but even with the swelling I like my results. I am not going to post pictures until after the sutures are removed. Then I will show a before and after. But I highly recommend her. The procedure was smooth, you don’t feel any pain during and after the pain is minimal if any. Plus of course she prescribed pain meds and antibiotics. I definitely recommend her if your looking for good work.Updated on 13 Dec 2022:They have removed all of my other comments. They only show the ones two days after the procedure. I spoke of how I did not like the way she cut me after the swelling went down. It was horrible how she cut me in the front. She responded to the negative and they were removed only leaving the nice comment. Do not go to her, I had no idea I was cut so badly and the scar isn’t worth it, people look at my ear line all the time, they know something was done and to be truthful I don’t even see a difference in my face. I only thought I did because of the swelling, the swelling made it look tight, when the swelling went down my face didn’t change at all. And now I am left with these horrible scars.I would never recommend this women to my worst enemy. Why would someone want a procedure with such obvious scars, what she did was disgusting. More

I am so thankful that I found Dr. Lawrence when considering a rhinoplasty (nose job). I got my procedure done in July of 2020 and am now 9 months post surgery. I am so pleased with my results and how natural looking my transformation is. It is absolutely perfect! She was always so attentive to me and eased my concerns. After my consultation with Dr. Lawrence, I was more than confident in my decision to choose her as my surgeon. She answered all of my silly questions prior to surgery and held my hand as I woke up from anesthesia to congratulate me on being so brave. I cannot say enough good things about her and all of the staff at Marisa Lawrence MD. More
Best Cosmetic Surgeon - For years I have been treating my neck hoping to tighten the sagging skin. I have had several consultations with different doctors, all of whom told me I was too young for surgery and to try an expensive tightening procedure, none of which seem to help. It was Dr. Lawrence who took one look and said "Neck Lift" and I knew that was what I needed too. I.m now 6 weeks out from my procedure and... More

My neck looks amazing and natural. Surgery is scary, and I can honestly say you are in good hands if you seek a procedure form Dr. Marisa Lawrence. Thanks so much Dr. Lawrence!! More
Best Decision I’ve Ever Made - I was 12 years old the first time I saw my facial profile in a picture. I gasped at my “beak” which I felt was much too large for my face.

I was self-conscious about my dorsal hump and bulbous tip ever since. I’ve always angled my face a certain way to minimize my insecurity about my nose when talking to people in person, taking pictures, etc. It consumed my life. I had a single consultation with Dr.Lawrence and knew she was the surgeon for me. The entire staff is professional and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. Dr.Lawrence addressed correcting the parts of my nose I was insecure about to increase facial balance. She is a double board certified and fellowship trained surgeon, so I was confident in her skill and intuition. My operation was seamless, my recovery was shockingly easy, and Dr.Lawrence has been there every step of the way throughout my recovery. I am only 4 months post-op and I’m IN LOVE with the results of my rhinoplasty! I look balanced and so natural. I’m also wearing less makeup since my procedure. My only regret is not having the rhinoplasty sooner! It looks even better than I imagined. My confidence has been restored. I feel like ME for the first time in my adult life. I would recommend Dr.Lawrence to anyone considering plastic surgery. I am forever grateful! More

I have known Dr. Lawrence for almost 15 years now. She is an amazing and gifted surgeon and a true friend. She has the unusual ability to listen patiently to her client’s desires, and considers the “whole person”, their life style, and preferences before making suggestions to accomplish those goals. She and her staff, then meticulously fashion a plan in a step by step format to refine and enhance her patient’s goals that result in a beautiful, harmonious appearance. Dr. Lawrence preformed a facelift, and blepharoplasty, recently. I could not be more thrilled with the outcome! It was amazing! Dr. Lawrence’s compassion for her patients and her passion for achieving their goals, goes hand in hand with her vigilance to the safety of the procedures involved. I had an overwhelming feeling of being completely cared for in her experienced and capable hands. I am so excited to see the fantastic results and so grateful to her for her skill and attention to detail. Every aspect of the experience was so well planned and executed. I trusted her to hear my heart and do what she does best. It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful I found her and her amazing staff. Thank you to all of you for helping me to put on the refreshed and refined appearance of the lovely woman I had dreamed. More
I had heard about Dr. Lawrence and seen a local woman whom had gotten a rhinoplasty from Dr. Lawrence. I decided having a competant and skillful doctor was definately worth driving to Atlanta! After discussing all the possibilities we decided on Sculptra and Silk. I am thrilled with the treatment and will stay with this practice for all my future procedures! More
Worth the drive to Atlanta! - My skin was definately losing volume and deep labial folds were appearing. I thought the only option would be a facelift. But the doctor offered me several options and explained them thoroughly. I am very happy with the procedure I chose. It was well worth my eight hour drive to get to Dr. Lawrence!!! More

Our daughter is two weeks out from rhinoplasty and the results were absolutely amazing! Bruising was minimal and I could never have imagined the transformation not only physically...but what this has done for her emotionally. Thank you for your amazing giftedness and for sharing that with our family!!! More
I went to Marisa a few years ago when I had a random blood vessel burst on my nose and could not figure out what was going on. I had recommendations from a number of friends and family members that she was the best in Atlanta and even though it was a small thing, it was in the middle of my face so I wanted an experienced surgeon to take care of it. She accommodated me quickly, and not even a few months later it was completely unnoticeable. More than that, though, she calmed my anxieties and fears about the procedure/results, her bedside manner was impeccable, and the all female staff made me feel comfortable. After being so impressed by her, I returned a few more times for various treatments including coolsculpt, lasering and a few others. I have since become utterly obsessed with her face moisturizer of her own private line and refuse to use anything else, have sent my husband for scar treatment and a few things too! I would trust no other surgeon in Atlanta. I know she is known as the "celebrity" surgeon, but she is down to earth, calm, experienced, knowledgeable and does TRULY incredible work. I could not recommend her more. More
I travel quite frequently due to the nature of my work as a television producer and lately haven't had any time to myself. During a trip to Atlanta, I was complaining about a terribly unflattering bump on my nose that I wanted to surgically remove. A colleague recommended Dr Marisa Lawrence and despite my nervousness I made an appointment. I was immediately impressed by the staff for their comfort, compassion and caring manner. Dr Lawrence has an abundance of knowledge and exuded warmth and professionalism during our consultation. Dr Lawrence helped me understand all that was involved and I grew confident in knowing I would be surrounded by professionals who were the best. I would also like to compliment the beautiful and immaculate facility and the continuity of the care from all of the staff. Thank you again Dr. Lawrence for your tremendous skill in performing my procedure. I am completely thrilled with the results and your caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You are truly an artist. PS - I was so impressed with Jeanine Chiarenza (medical esthetician) I have an appointment for cool sculpting next week. YAY!! Cheers Alison K Renner More
Great experience! - My experience with Dr. Lawrence and her entire team was the best. I received quality, personalized care before, during and after a partial face lift. My goal was having my aging neck and lower jawline lifted while keeping a natural look to my face. That mission was more than accomplished. After three weeks, I looked refreshed and most people asked if I'd lost weight. She is a true surgical artist. As others have mentioned, I wouldn't trust my skin with anyone other than Dr Lawrence and her professional staff. More

Wonderful surgeon and staff! - This review is long overdue and I don't know why it has taken so long to write because I had a great experience with Dr. Lawrence and her staff. I contemplated having surgery for quite awhile and researched thoroughly before deciding to have surgery. I had a facelift, eyelift, fat transfer and necklift, so this wasn't a decision (or investment) to take lightly. When I met Dr. Lawrence, I immediately felt comfortable with her and knew I would be in talented hands. The results were so much more than I expected and I love that it looks so natural! Needless to say, I have had no regrets and have recommended Dr. Lawrence to my friends – not only for surgery, but other procedures. It has now been a year since surgery and I am still receiving compliments. Dr. Lawrence and the entire staff made this a very comfortable, easy, and pleasant experience. I can't thank them enough!!

A Natural-looking Facelift - Atlanta, GA - Dr. Lawrence knew my expectations to have a very natural appearance.

Singing the Song "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman!" - Atlanta, GA - I can say that being referred to the office of Dr. Lawrence was the best personal referral I have ever received! While I'm not one to complete reviews or surveys, I realized it would be impossible to spread the word by mouth to a vast number of people who should be "in the know" about Dr Lawrence and her amazing level of expertise. She patiently answered all (and I had many) of my questions and on the day of my procedure she artfully and skillfully prepped me for my breast lift/rhinoplasty. I felt like she wore so many hats while I was under her care: doctor, confidante, advisor, educator, and advocate. My entire experience was tailored and individualized just for me. I never felt like she or the staff were too busy to accommodate me.I tend to have high expectations when I frequent a business. I look for efficiency, cleanliness, a knowledgable and pleasantly demeanored staff, diversity, wait times, pricing, and quality of care, just to name a few. All of my personal expectations were met and exceeded. For those of you who are researching MD medical backgrounds and reviews, good for you! I highly recommend that you go to the website and take a look around. Then, schedule your consultation with Dr. Lawrence and be prepared to experience the essence of "a surgeon's hand with a woman's touch." More
Saggy to Tight, in Just a Few Hours. Atlanta, GA - In my 50's, thanks to too much time in the sun watching my kids play sports, I looked like I was in my 70's from saggy skin. Now in my 60's I still look like I am in my 50's. People cannot believe how old I am. The best part is you could not tell that I have had a face lift. She got rid of the excess skin, but did not pull it so tight where you could tell I had a lift. Instead, it just looked like the years melted away. More
31 Years Old After 2 Kids. Stubborn Stomach Fat Pouch That Exercising Didn't Touch -- GONE After Coolsculpting!! - Atlanta, GA - I've been to Dr. Lawrence for both rhinoplasty and CoolSculpt. I've been extremely happy with my results from both. Her office staff is very professional and friendly. Dr. Lawrence takes as much time as I've needed to discuss everything and answer all of my questions. She is a perfectionist and was very thorough during my aftercare appointments. More
Dr. Lawrence is an excellent plastic surgeon, and a wonderful person. I had Moes surgery (removing skin cancer) that took all day on a Friday. Almost my entire nose was removed, and I was told by another doctor I would have to wait until the following week to have my nose repaired. One call, and Dr. Lawrence met me in her office at 7 pm on a Friday, after dropping her kids off to go to camp. She did extensive surgery on my nose so I didn't have to go through a weekend and several days with no nose. Later, she did a complete nose job so you can barely tell I had any surgery. I had a second Moes since then, and she repaired another big hole in my nose. Dr. Lawrence is very focused on the medical needs of her patients and does a great job. More than that, she cares about her patients. I am forever greatful that she cared enough to go to her office on a Friday night to help a man who had no nose. I highly recommend this amazing doctor. More
Penny Daugherty, RN, MS, OCN - I chose Dr. Lawrence because all the OR nurses in our hospital recommended her very highly and I was definitely not disappointed.I have a blepharoplasty done and the whole experience was as smooth as could be. She called me personally the day of the procedure to check on my recovery and actually listened to what I said. Nurses kind of know when docs are listening to us..My whole revovery was well monitored and blissfully uneventful. The staff in the office could not be more helpful, caring and always available when I come in. Since the bleph I've had some other non-surgical procedures doen and the experienc has been more of the same - total caring atmosphere and total excellence in service.As everyone knows nurses are very challenging patients and expect a lot from our doctors. This has been a wonderful experience in every way and I felt that I should share that with anyone who is making a decision about a plastic surgeon. More
Simply the best - Doctor Lawrence did my face, neck, nose and eyes last year. I've never felt or looked better and I don't have that "stretched" look. The surgery was painless and recovery was quick. I chose Dr. Lawrence to do my face because of her excellent reputation. I am more than pleased with the results!!!! More
Simply the BEST - Dr. Lawrence is a life-saver! I had a large portion of my nose removed for skin cancer. At 3 pm on a Friday I was referred to a doctor in Roswell for reconstruction, who was unavailable for four days. So, we tracked Dr. Lawrence down at the airport at 5 pm on a Friday. She dropped her kids off and met me in her office at 6:30 PM on a Friday and reconstructed my nose. If not for Dr. Lawrence, I would have gone four days with a giant hole in my face. More imporant, she restored my nose so that it looks better now that it did before the surgery. Dr. Lawrence will always be my hero surgeon! More
Facelift...flawless!!! - At 57 years of age and still having a teenager to keep up with ,,,I felt that my face just didn't match my zest for life and my high energy level. After meeting a patient of Dr. Lawrence's who had just had a facelift my anxieties were all but gone. The woman was"retro"ed! There was no pulled tight appearance but just a refreshed and rejuvenated look. I proceeded with the facelift procedure and am now seven weeks out. I ran into a friend who not knowing a thing simply said..."wow...you are a 'timeless' woman!" My clock may be ticking but my face now matches my feeling...TIMELESS! Thanks Dr. Lawrence!!! More
