From the reviews

How lucky are we that Dr Pontius has decided to return home to California and landed in our community? I’m probably old enough to be her Mom, but that did not get in the way of her recommending a treatment plan to give me a more youthful appearance.

★★★★★ — Anne, Mar 2024

Dr. Pontius is the best! She takes her time with you and listens. She carefully explains what she will do with your requests. She makes sure you look natural and beautiful. She is also Board certified which is very important to me. So happy to have found such a great Aesthetic Specialist.

★★★★★ — D., Dec 2024

I've been getting fillers and such for 20 years in 3 different cities and several different providers and Dr Pontius is absolutely one of the best. Her technique, expertise and personality are stellar. We are so blessed to have her practicing here in Santa Barbara!

★★★★★ — Danna, Dec 2025

Dr. Pontius is an expert in facial balancing and making you feel completely comfortable every step of the way. I had a great experience and love my results from both Filler and Botox.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
