From the reviews
I had my consultation today with Dr. Melinda Lacerna and I couldn’t be more impressed! She took the time to answer all my questions, made me feel completely comfortable, and really listened to my goals. Her expertise and attention to detail were clear from the start.
As a 68 year old woman I have never had fillers or anything done before. I disliked the lines above my lips and around my mouth. Went to 4 other plastic surgery office for consults. I was thinking of CO2 lasers but worry about changing skin color and the monkey look I have seen many times.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting LA Plastic Surgery: The Skin Plasma Center, and I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding care and professionalism I received from Dr. Melinda Lacerna and her entire team.

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.
