At our San Diego plastic surgery office, we all love what we do—and we all have our personal favorite procedures (and educated opinions about which procedures are the best). We know what it’s like to juggle careers, family, and friendships while trying to look your best and feel your most confident. If we had to choose only one, here are the procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) that we love most—both to see others undergo, and to receive ourselves!
Dr. Gallus: Tummy Tuck
What it is: Procedure that tightens stretched abdominal muscles & skin
Why she loves it: “Especially when you are left with excess abdominal skin and stretched muscles after having kids, tummy tucks are worth the downtime to correct what diet and exercise cannot fully restore. The life-changing transformation and confidence boost can be remarkable!”
Dr. Chao: Full Facial Rejuvenation
What it is: Combined procedures to address signs of aging in a custom, comprehensive way
Why she loves it: “I love performing full facial rejuvenations because they combine artistry and precision to help patients turn back the clock naturally. With the goal of restoring youthful features while preserving individuality, we may use a combination of eyelid lifts, facelifts, or lasers. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people regain their confidence and feel their best!”
Bri: Avéli Cellulite Reduction
What it is: Minimal-downtime procedure to reduce cellulite dimples
Why she loves it: “All women want to get rid of cellulite! Avéli requires minimal downtime, and it actually works. It can be performed in the office with local numbing, which means it’s relatively quick. You can get back to work the next day—just take it easy for a couple of days and you’ll be golden.”
Isela: Virtue RF Microneedling
What it is: Procedure to tighten skin and improve the texture & tone
Why she loves it: “Virtue Microneedling is very versatile for many different complexions and skin concerns, whether you are concerned about aging and wrinkles, early prevention, acne, or dull skin tone. Microneedling prompts the skin to renew itself, revealing a visibly fresher complexion to fight both long-term aging and temporary skin concerns. It requires little to no downtime, and it’s safe at all times of the year.”
Olivia: Medical-Grade Skincare Products
What it is: Professional skincare products, available from doctors’ offices, with high concentrations of active ingredients
Why she loves it: “Skincare can make a huge difference, especially with a tailored skin care regimen that uses active ingredients proven to target your concerns. This is how I finally saw results with my acne-prone skin! The right regimen can also double down on the effects of in-office treatments. We sell many of our favorite products right here in the office, and we are always happy to recommend a simple routine for any of our patients.”
Ava: Breast Augmentation
What it is: Procedure to enhance breast size and shape with saline or silicone-filled implants
Why she loves it: “Breast augmentation patients see instant satisfaction! It is such a rewarding procedure, making a huge difference in everything from how clothes fit to how patients carry themselves. I enjoy being part of the journey that helps patients feel more confident.”
Cinthia: DiamondGlow
What it is: Gentle, customizable facial to exfoliate and improve skin’s appearance
Why she loves it: “DiamondGlow facials give you instant results with no downtime! Not only does your skin look better, but it stays more balanced when you get regular facials. They extract your pores without painful squeezing or pinching, while also promoting circulation and infusing the skin with healthy antioxidants.”
