Howard G. Dawkins, Jr., M.D., FACS, welcomes you to Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, P.A. - the plastic surgery facility dedicated to cosmetic surgery. “One of my key goals, regardless of the procedure, is to give the most natural appearance possible. It's an enhanced appearance, but I don't want people asking them where they had their plastic surgery,” he says. “I offer my patients the training and experience that they should seek when entrusting themselves to a plastic surgeon”.

With his extensive training and 31 years of experience he will analyze and provide guidance to you for the most appropriate management for your specific situation. In many cases this may mean non-surgical treatments in the medispa center with Fraxel®, peels, microdermabrasion and collagen injections to help reduce wrinkles and to freshen skin. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, P.A. can provide an overall longevity program to start you in the right direction at any age and help maintain youthfulness throughout the aging process.

For some women, it may mean contour-enhancing breast surgery - be it with implants, uplifting or reduction procedures - to give the patient a brand new sense of self. Each step of the way, Dr. Dawkins places a premium on education, a particularly critical aspect of patient care. “It is our philosophy that a well-informed patient is the best approach to dealing with fears and uncertainty,” he explains. “Patients are encouraged to explore all questions and concerns with me and with my staff. They are invited to come in as often as they wish before and after their procedures”.

According to Dr. Dawkins not only can cosmetic surgery improve your appearance, it may also improve your outlook. “Hopefully it’s going to improve lives by enhancing self- confidence,” he says. “The transformation isn’t just a physical one. I think it helps people tremendously in how they feel about themselves”. The confidence can translate to patients’ personal and professional lives. Cosmetic surgery has become popular among men as well as women.

Liposuction, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelifts and breast augmentations are among his most common procedures.
