Approach

  • In the past, I haven't really had any satisfactory treatments for the perioral area, but now with the Elecore system, the combination of a facelift and Elecore is the ultimate treatment
  • One thing most patients don't realize is just how small our team really is, which means your care stays personal from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave

Technique

  • Dr. Robert M. Freund uses the SMAS tissue to create the pull in his facelift technique.
  • There are different settings that we apply to different parts of the face and basically the other areas that we apply
  • Dr. Robert M. Freund's vertical vector facelift technique involves lifting the tissue back from where it came.

Dr. Freund pioneered the Teardrop Breast Lift Augmentation Mastopexy, a procedure designed to lift the nipple, enlarge the breast, and give it a more natural shape. This technique aims for minimal scarring and long-lasting results.
Source →

What are the differences between saline and silicone breast implants?
Each type of breast implant (saline or silicone) creates a different shape and feel, with both having pros and cons. Dr. Freund notes that great, natural-looking results can be achieved with either type.
Source →
What is IPL treatment and what can I expect?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-surgical laser treatment that addresses multiple pigmentation problems, including dark spots, red spots, and general redness on the skin. The laser treatment feels like a minor zapping, but the practice's IPL machine has a cooling feature to reduce discomfort. Patients often see immediate results after their first treatment, and a series of 3-5 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Source →
What is V-Beam® Laser treatment?
The V-Beam® Laser is an advanced pulsed-dye laser treatment for redness, visible blood vessels, rosacea, spider veins, pigment spots, broken capillaries, and persistent redness. It precisely targets unwanted vessels and pigment beneath the skin surface while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. This gentle yet effective option offers minimal downtime.
Source →
What are Dr. Freund's facelift approaches and types?
Dr. Freund tailors facial procedures to individual patient needs, performing various facelift types rather than a single approach. Each procedure is performed similarly but targets a slightly different area: a mid facelift lifts the cheeks and middle of the face; a cheek lift tightens the cheek and jowl area; a lower facelift defines the jowl and neck area; and a necklift targets only the neck. For comprehensive enhancement, a full facelift can combine techniques from all types.
Source →
What are the goals and indications for Dr. Freund's Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty can achieve various aesthetic goals and address functional concerns. It can help patients who have been injured, need to improve their breathing, or want to correct birth defects. Aesthetically, it can slim nostrils, raise or define the nose tip, modify nose bone or cartilage, straighten the bridge, or alter the angle between the nose and lips. Dr. Freund performs techniques such as closed rhinoplasty for aesthetic improvements of the profile and tip of the nose.
Source →
What are the considerations for choosing a surgical facility?
When considering surgical facilities, it's important to note that hospitals can have a higher risk of infection and often have limited availability, potentially leading to scheduling conflicts. Additionally, the cost of a surgical procedure in a hospital can increase if additional time is required, as anesthesiologists are often paid hourly rather than a set fee.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$14

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert M. Freund received $14 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
