General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  A brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, removes sagging skin and fat from the upper arm area to create a tighter and slimmer appearance. While exercise can strengthen the muscle, it can’t address loose skin that happens with age and extreme weight loss. A brachioplasty often depends on the shape and amount of excess skin a patient has around their arms. Generally, the incisions are on the inner backside of the arm and continue from the underarm to the elbow, but we tailor every brachioplasty to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery
  A labiaplasty surgically reduces the size of the labia minora and/or labia majora. An enlarged labia can be a result of childbirth, aging, or genetics, and reducing them can help boost self-confidence. It’s important to note that a labiaplasty is not a gender change, only a cosmetic procedure. If you want a labiaplasty with your Mommy Makeover, you and your provider can discuss your options and what’s best for you.

Internists

• Testicular Cancer

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health
  Diet and exercise are fundamental hallmarks of a healthy lifestyle and should always be maintained, but they do not inherently guarantee you your dream figure. You don’t have to wield exercise as a weapon against self-image; it can–and maybe even should–exist in your life as a way to maintain physical and mental health, not as a means by which to “earn” an elusive perfect figure.
• Anxiety

Endocrinologist

• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Silicone Implants: Ruptures in silicone implants are known as “silent ruptures” because they may not cause noticeable changes in appearance or sensation. If a rupture occurs, the silicone gel may stay in the implant capsule or migrate to surrounding tissues. Regular ultrasound or MRI screenings are recommended to detect silent ruptures. Surgical removal or replacement is typically required.
• MRI
  Silicone breast implants do not visibly deflate when ruptured. Instead, rupture of a silicone breast implant is normally detected with a regular MRI. Although it is not an emergency, we will still try to get you scheduled for a consultation quickly.

  A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat from around the inner thigh for a smoother appearance. Generally, for thigh lifts, your incision will depend on your goals. Liposuction is also used as a tool to reduce fat in the inner thigh during the procedure.

  Are you looking to reverse the signs of aging? A facelift removes excess skin and helps to minimize wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. This procedure treats the cheek and neck area, but can also remove small amounts of fat from under the chin.

• Neck Lift
• Blepharoplasty
  I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Gayoso and his staff. I recently had both a facelift and under eye blepharoplasty. I had consulted with several Plastic Surgeons and ultimately chose Dr. Gayoso based on his training/expertise, his demeanor and facility. I felt very comfortable strategizing with him and really feel that Dr. Gayoso is an “artist”...he was very focused on ensuring that my procedure would be highly personalized to me/my face. Additionally, he has a kind, welcoming demeanor. His staff has been amazing as well. From Tammy in scheduling, to Nicole the pre and post-op LPN, to the OR team (Alexis, Christina, Amy) to Becky at the front desk, to Alicia and Annie...and I’m sure several others that I’m forgetting!...I have been nothing but impressed by their expertise, professionalism and welcoming nature. The facility is top notch, including the onsite Surgery Center. I highly recommend Gayoso Plastic Surgery.

• Skin Care
  It’s been almost 2 years since my procedure/s and I’d never trust anyone more than Dr. G... he takes pride, and your appointments are never rushed. He takes the time to talk to you, one of his nurses Nichole is now a friend of mine, she made sure I had everything I needed, all my questions answered... even in crazy hours of the night. If you’re contemplating between doctors, look no further because Dr. Gayoso is one of a kind.. and your only regret will be that you didn’t pick up the phone sooner! I will now be returning for skin care- and mind you I will be traveling two hours because I have that great of a relationship with this office and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. It’s worth it!
