This slender Maryland Mom wanted fuller breasts and a smooth wrinkle-free tummy. She consulted with Dr. Rodriguez and decided to have Mommy Makeover with a Tummy Tuck and a Breast augmentation with moderate-profile 339 cc silicone breast implants that were inserted through a small incision at the top of her nipples, along with a Tummy tuck to flatten and smooth her abdomen. As you can see this patient had amazing results and she is delighted with her better-than-ever new body.
This patient in her 70s underwent Neck lift surgery to reduce the amount of extra skin on her neck, sometimes referred to as turkey neck, and improve her profile.
This patient in her 60s had two facial procedures with Dr. Rodriguez: a Lower facelift with fat grafting to restore volume, and an extended Neck lift to tighten and refine the neck and jawline. Incisions were carefully placed behind the ears and into the lower hairline to keep them discreet. Recovery takes about two weeks, though most patients can return to work after just 10 days with only mild bruising.
This patient came to Dr. Rodriguez for a breast implant exchange. She received 545 cc high-profile+ silicone implants to enhance upper pole fullness and restore volume. Her results are natural and proportionate to her frame.
This 41-year-old woman underwent liposuction to the abdomen, flanks, and sacral area, with a total of 3,850 cc of fat removed. Her results show a more contoured waistline, reduced abdominal fullness, and improved overall proportion.
This young Baltimore patient wanted fuller breasts without any breast scars. Dr. Rodriguez was able to avoid scars on her breasts by inserting her silicone breast implants through her armpit. She underwent transaxillary Breast augmentation with high-profile 375 cc silicone breast implants. In addition, she had Liposuction to her flanks to enhance her 5’9″ slender physique. The patient was very happy with her beautiful results.
This 68-year-old woman wanted to refresh her facial appearance without looking overdone. She was especially bothered by the lengthening of the area between her nose and upper lip (known as the philtrum) which can contribute to a tired or aged look over time.
Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez performed a lip lift using a conservative skin excision just beneath the base of the nose. No muscle was disturbed. Her pre-op philtrum measured 1.9 cm; post-operatively, it was reduced to 1.2 cm, a meaningful improvement that brought renewed balance to her midface. In the after photos, you’ll notice the difference is subtle but powerful. At rest, her upper lip appears more defined and the overall expression less downturned. When smiling, more of her teeth show naturally, and her lips look softly supported without the stiffness that fillers or muscle-altering procedures can sometimes cause in older patients.
This 32-year-old European woman wanted a more defined upper lip and greater harmony in her facial features. She also hoped to show more of her teeth when smiling.
Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez performed a lip lift by removing a small strip of skin at the base of the nose. No muscle was disturbed, allowing for a natural-looking result and smoother recovery. Her final post-operative philtrum length measured 1.1 cm (11 mm), contributing to a fuller, more defined lip contour and more balanced proportions.
The procedure was done under local anesthesia, comparable to a dental visit, and took about 90 minutes. It was performed at Dr. Rodriguez’s AAAASF-accredited surgical center in Baltimore.
This patient underwent a brow lift and facial fat transfer to refresh her appearance without changing her natural expression. Volume was restored in key areas of the face, helping her look more rested, smooth, and softly rejuvenated.
As we age, the facial dermis thins and soft tissue volume is lost, especially in the midface. Dr. Rodriguez performed facial fat transfer using the patient’s own fat to rebuild volume and restore smoother, healthier contours. Her results show a natural softening of hollow areas and subtle, graceful rejuvenation.
This patient in her 50s underwent a full facelift, including a brow lift, mid-facelift, and lower facelift. Fat transfer was also performed to restore facial volume. The result is a healthier, refreshed appearance that maintains her natural expression.
To correct Eye ptosis (drooping) this patient had an upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Facelift, and Fat Grafting. The three procedures combined together are a type of Facelift.
