Meet Dr. Dawkins
Howard G. Dawkins, Jr., MD, FACS, welcomes you to Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, PA – an inviting facility and a group of caring plastic surgery experts dedicated to the highest level of 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 over 30 years of experience, Dr. Dawkins 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 with Fraxel®, peels, microdermabrasion, and collagen injections to help reduce wrinkles and to freshen skin. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, PA can provide an overall longevity program to start you in the right direction at any age and help maintain youthfulness throughout the aging process.
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."
