From the reviews

I recently had a simple excision surgery with Dr. Costa. She's a warm, very skilled surgeon who makes patients comfortable from initial consults through post-op follow-ups. Her office manager was very helpful with relaying questions I had through the healing process and with scheduling any ad-hoc visits needed.

★★★★★ — Victoria, May 2025

I have been very pleased with the care and treatment I have received from Dr. Costa for facial injectables for cosmetic purposes. She asks me what results I hope to achieve and then goes over with me the products which will achieve my desired results. Costs are reviewed and together we work out a course of treatment.

★★★★★ — Shari, Apr 2025

I was nervous to start the process of getting a breast reduction, because of all the stories I’ve heard about how hard it is to get approved, but I am SO happy I followed through and chose Dr. Costa! The process was so seamless from start to finish. Dr. Costa and her team were so supportive.

★★★★★ — Macy, Jul 2024

Dr Costa has been great! My son had an injury that resulted in a very noticeable scar on his face. She was able to revise the scar so it will not be as noticeable as it heals this time.

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.
