Facial plastic surgery — facelift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty
CATEGORY 01 · FACE & NECK

Facial surgery, restoring balance.

The face ages unevenly — jowls before the neck, brow before the cheeks. Dr. LoMonaco approaches facial surgery as a whole-face plan, not a checklist of isolated procedures. The result is a cohesive outcome that reads as refreshed, not operated.

  • Facelift (Rhytidectomy) — Addresses sagging skin and muscle laxity in the mid-face, jowls, and neck. Modern SMAS techniques for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
  • Rhinoplasty — Nose reshaping to improve profile, symmetry, or proportion. Functional corrections (deviated septum, breathing obstruction) addressed simultaneously when needed.
  • Blepharoplasty — Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery. Removes excess skin and fat deposits that make eyes appear tired or aged; dramatic improvement in facial expression.
  • Brow Lift / Forehead Lift — Corrects heavy brows, deep forehead lines, and the resting expression of fatigue or displeasure caused by descended brow tissue.
  • Neck Lift — Tightens platysma muscle bands, removes excess skin, and redefines the jawline-to-neck transition. Often combined with facelift for full lower-face rejuvenation.
  • Chin Augmentation & Jawline Contouring — Implant-based chin projection to balance facial proportions; frequently combined with rhinoplasty for profile improvement.
  • Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) — Corrects prominent or asymmetric ears. An outpatient procedure with straightforward recovery and permanent results.

Breast augmentation, lift, and reduction — Houston TX
CATEGORY 02 · BREAST

Breast surgery, to your proportion.

Breast surgery is among the most personal decisions a patient makes. Dr. LoMonaco's approach begins with your frame — your shoulder width, torso height, and the look you actually want, not the size on a chart. Implant selection, incision placement, and lift technique are chosen together, in the consultation room.

  • Breast Augmentation — Silicone or saline implants to add volume and projection. Implant profile, size, and incision path are chosen to suit your anatomy and goals. Gummy-bear cohesive-gel implants available.
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy) — Repositions and reshapes sagging or deflated breast tissue without adding volume. Often the right answer after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
  • Augmentation with Lift — Combined procedure for patients who need both volume and elevation. Coordinated in a single operating session when anatomy allows.
  • Breast Reduction — Removes excess breast tissue and skin to reduce size, improve posture, and relieve chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain. Frequently covered by insurance when medically indicated.
  • Implant Revision & Exchange — Addresses implant malposition, capsular contracture, rupture, or size dissatisfaction from a prior augmentation — regardless of where the original surgery was performed.

Body contouring — tummy tuck, BBL, liposuction Houston
CATEGORY 03 · BODY CONTOURING

Body surgery, to your silhouette.

Body contouring surgery addresses areas that diet and exercise cannot — the excess skin after significant weight loss, the abdominal laxity after pregnancy, the stubborn fat pockets that persist regardless of fitness. Dr. LoMonaco plans each body procedure against your actual anatomy, not a before/after template.

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) — Removes excess abdominal skin and fat while repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Full, mini, and extended techniques selected by anatomy. The most frequently requested body procedure in the practice.
  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) — Fat transfer from liposuction donor sites to reshape and augment the buttocks. Result depends on precise fat grafting technique and a thorough recovery protocol — Dr. LoMonaco follows the most current ASPS safety guidelines.
  • Liposuction — Targeted fat removal from abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and neck. Tumescent technique; frequently combined with other body procedures. Skin contraction considered in candidate selection.
  • Mommy Makeover — A coordinated single-stage combination of tummy tuck, breast surgery (lift and/or augmentation), and liposuction — planned to restore pre-pregnancy contours in one recovery.
  • Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) — Removes excess skin from the upper arm — the skin that no amount of tricep exercise will tighten. Incision is placed along the inner arm and becomes inconspicuous over time.
  • Thigh Lift — Addresses inner and/or outer thigh laxity, most commonly following significant weight loss. Incision placement is planned to remain hidden in natural body creases.
  • Lower Body Lift — Circumferential contouring of the lower trunk, buttocks, outer thighs, and abdomen simultaneously — the highest-impact single procedure after massive weight loss.

Injectables and non-surgical skin treatments Houston
CATEGORY 04 · NON-SURGICAL

Injectables, physician-supervised.

Non-surgical treatments at Dr. LoMonaco's practice serve two patient groups: those maintaining the results of prior surgery, and those preparing for a future procedure and wanting consistent physician oversight in the meantime. Every injectable is administered or directly supervised by the surgeon — not delegated to a clinical aesthetician.

  • Botox / Dysport (Neurotoxin) — Forehead lines, crow's feet, brow position, chin dimpling, and jaw (masseter) slimming. Conservative dosing; a 12-month plan, not a single appointment.
  • Dermal Fillers — Hyaluronic acid fillers for cheek volume, nasolabial folds, lip definition, and tear-trough hollowing. Placed with the same precision used in surgical planning.
  • Skin Rejuvenation — Chemical peels and skin-quality treatments coordinated around surgical timing, for patients in pre- or post-operative care.
