Background and Education

Dr. Scottsdale® was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, but raised in El Paso, Texas, where he graduated from high school with honors. He attended Texas A&M University in College Station on a full scholarship and earned his degree in biomedical medicine with cum laude honors.

He went on to study at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas for medical school and completed his plastic surgery training at both the University of Texas Medical Branch, MD Anderson Center, in Houston, Texas, and Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, Harvard’s Bringham, and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. He finished his cosmetic training in Miami, Florida, and entered the US Army as a plastic surgeon after graduating. His time in the US Army taught him to be focused and detail-oriented, and he learned the importance of scarring in reconstructive surgery, becoming an expert in minimizing it in aesthetic plastic surgery.

An Expert in Facelifts

Dr. Scottsdale® has expertise in facelift procedures and is well-known for producing natural, rejuvenating results, allowing patients to appear refreshed and youthful without looking “overly done.” Using advanced techniques for both mini and full facelifts, he works to ensure that there is minimal scarring, faster recovery, and long-lasting results, all while enhancing the patient’s natural beauty.

Dr. Scottsdale® can help smooth stubborn wrinkles, lift and tone sagging skin, and define the natural contours of the face. His customized treatment plans aim to help each patient reach their own unique goals, while their in-house, QUAD-accredited surgical suite provides a private and comfortable environment. 

At the Natural Results Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Scottsdale® primarily focuses on three techniques to ensure his patients get the results they desire, including:

  • SMAS Plication works by targeting the superficial musculoaponeurotic system of muscle and connective tissue to achieve a lifting effect during a facelift, addressing moderate skin laxity in the lower face and neck.
  • The MACS Facelift is a less invasive method that uses smaller incisions and sutures to suspend the midface, tightening the cheeks and correcting facial features like loose skin in the middle and lower face.
  • The Deep Plane Facelift reaches the deeper muscle layers to lift the entire face, not just the skin, correcting more advanced aging changes such as severe sagging skin, jowls, and loss of facial and neck definition.

Dr. Scottsdale® performs three types of facelifts, including:

  • The Mini Facelift is less invasive and aims to reduce the signs of age in the lower face and neck.
  • The Mid-Facelift targets the middle of the face to address moderate sagging and wrinkles. It also helps to rejuvenate the cheeks and reduce nasolabial folds and mild jowls.
  • The Full Facelift is a comprehensive procedure that aims to address the advanced signs of aging in the middle and lower thirds of the face as well as the neck.

Achieving Natural Results

Dr. Scottsdale®’s approach to beauty is fully personalized and done in collaboration with his patients to understand their unique aesthetic goals. This specialized approach allows him to deliver results that enhance a patient’s natural beauty without sacrificing their individuality in the process. 

The benefits of a facelift are typically long-lasting (7 to 10 years on average), and the procedure helps minimize the appearance of troublesome jowls and excess fat pockets under the chin, smooth wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin.

Dr. Scottsdale®’s Natural Results Plastic Surgery clinic combines luxury, expertise, and a personalized approach to deliver excellent results for patients seeking natural beauty. As a leader in facial procedures and facelifts, Dr. Scottsdale®’s practice offers a unique blend of technical precision and high-end care, which makes it the premier destination for plastic surgery in Scottsdale, Arizona.
