Cosmetic treatments can address concerns related to facial balance, body contour, skin quality, and overall appearance. Surgical and non-surgical procedures may be used to refine facial features, restore proportion, or improve skin texture depending on the individual concern. Careful evaluation helps determine which approach is most appropriate for each patient.
At McKinnon Plastic Surgery, cosmetic procedures are offered within a practice led by Dr. McKay McKinnon, a plastic surgeon with decades of experience in facial and reconstructive surgery. Dr. McKinnon trained in General Surgery at the Harvard Surgical Service before completing his plastic surgery residency at the University of Miami, bringing a strong foundation in surgical principles and clinical precision to aesthetic procedures.
