My Answers

Are cheek implants a long-term option?
Typically, cheek implants last forever. What does not last forever is the sagging skin though, so you cannot expect the appearance you have after the cheek implants to provide an unchanged face forever. READ MORE
Can under eye bags be removed?
Surgical removal of the lower lid fat pads can be done using a transconjunctival approach. That is where the incision is made inside of the eyelid so there are no visible scars READ MORE
How long does scar removal surgery last?
Scars cannot be removed, they can be improved, but if they are surgically removing the scar, at best it will be improved, but not removed. READ MORE
Is a chin implant painful?
Pain after a chin implant is short-lived and easily controlled with pain medications for just a few days READ MORE
How long does eye lift surgery last?
I would say that you might need some type of touch up after 8-10 years READ MORE
Is this cosmetic surgery unhealthy?
I would strongly suggest against that type of procedure, the risk of either the filler not surviving or it shifting out of place are not worth the risk READ MORE
What can I do to remove chicken pox spots?
It is difficult to say what would be best. It can be improved by fillers, subcision, laser treatment as well as having it surgically cut out. READ MORE
Are there health risks involved with liposuction?
The most dangerous risk after liposuction of your legs is the development of a blood clot in your legs. Frequent walking, even the day of surgery will help decrease that. Overall the risk is low though. In general, liposuction, in experienced hands, is a low risk procedure READ MORE
Do all plastic surgeries have a painful recovery?
Every patient having surgery will have some discomfort. Patients also have different pain tolerances compared to other patients. Usually, the pain pills prescribed control the pain very well READ MORE
Is there an age requirement for a rhinoplasty?
As long as you have your other signing your consents, you can have a rhinoplasty at 17 years of age. READ MORE
What's involved in an eyelid lift?
The excess upper lid would be marked and then the skin removed. If you have any areas of excess fat, they will also be removed. After which the incision would be closed with stitches. The stitches are removed after one week. No strenuous activity for two weeks. You will look better after 3-4 weeks and even better after 3 months READ MORE
How effective are face lifts?
in experienced hands, a facelift gives significant improvements that make almost all patients happpy with their investment. How long the effects last depends on age, skin, quality, weight fluctuations as well as activity levels. READ MORE
Does a double mastectomy prevent breast cancer?
A double mastectomy should reduce the cancer risk to almost zero. In an extremely small instance, there could be breast cancer if you have something called 'ectopic breast tissue'. That is usually in the fatty tissue going up toward your armpit. That fat should be removed to lessen the even small risk but I would not suggest removing any lymph nodes as they can present a final barrier to the spread were anything unexpected were to happen READ MORE
Is it possible to gain the fat back after liposuction?
The risks of the liposuction there are potential loose skin if the amount of fat removed is large. In some cases, there can be some surface irregularities that take time and massage to get better. As to the fat coming back, the fat cells were removed, but not all of them. The fat cells that remained can get bigger with weight gain but the most common problem is going fat in other areas and in areas where liposuction cannot be done, like inside of your abdomen READ MORE
How long is a recovery from a breast augmentation?
For 2 weeks after the augmentation, I do not allow my patients to lift more than 20 pounds, and desk work is allowed after 5-7 days. Weeks 3-4 allow more movement and a return to normal activity. READ MORE
Even after a lip surgery, my lips are not in perfect shape. What should I do?
It might be able to be contoured with hyaluronic acid fillers to make some areas more prominent. READ MORE
Are there any side effects from hair transplant surgery?
The scalp will be swollen for a few days and commonly the eyes as well. The area where the grafts are removed will be tender for a week or so. Most patients return to full activity in 2-4 weeks. READ MORE
What are the best procedures to prevent/help with aging in the face?
Light laser sessions can help regain some of the lost collagen with short down times. I personally do not think chemical peels do much for fine lines after the swelling is resolved. As to prevention, I suggest total sunblock, no smoking, and avoiding weight fluctuations as well. READ MORE
Can plastic surgery remove scars from previous surgeries?
Plastic surgery may be able to improve the scar, but there will always be some residual sign that the scar was once there. READ MORE
PRP or dermafillers?
without question, the dermal filler will give you more volume than PRP will. Stick with the filler READ MORE

What do you attribute your success to?

Dr. Garcia??s goal for every patient is education. The more you understand about eachplastic surgery procedure, the better prepared you will be to make the right decisions about which procedures you want in order to achieve your cosmetic goals. This commitment is the cornerstone of Dr Garcia's practice that he demonstrates through his Ask Dr Garcia service.
Dr. Garcia :
I attribute my success to the upbringing my parents gave me. My father was a physician also and he instilled in me a sense of duty to provide medical services to patients in an empathetic manner. My mother taught me how important a personal connection was and that good communication would make for better relationships with friends and business people. She taught me that caring for others came first over anything else.

Philanthropic Initiatives

Dr Garcia is honored to be part of a great fundraiser for one of the most worthy causes I have seen. Goody Two Shoes Foundation raises money to provide shoes for under-privileged children in the Clark County School District. They provide 10,000 pairs of shoes to these kids every year, dispersing the shoes weekly. He is not only honored to be a supporter of the event but also enjoyed all of the people there sharing together for such a great cause. If you are looking to help out a charity in any way, please consider Goody Two Shoes Foundation, they are awesome.

Couldn't say enough about Dr. Garcia in a positive way. Talk about an artist with wonderful work ethics and professionalism. I will always refer him to others with my word, cause I trust him with it.

Dr. Garcia and his staff are amazing. From my initial consultation through my three month follow up, I was treated with kindness, patience, and felt completely at ease. Dr. Garcia answered all my questions without rushing me or making me feel like I was just one of many patients. I love his wonderful staff, especially his awesome nurse Kathy. My results are amazing. I could not be happier or more highly recommend a physician's office.

I've been a patient of Dr. Garcia's for the past ten years. He is an excellent surgeon and a very compassionate person. I would highly recommend him for any cosmetic surgery procedure. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. Sally, Arizona

I have been seeing Dr. Julio since the mid 90's. I am reminded on almost a weekly basis how he has improved my life as reflected in my level of confidence. Business colleagues are so often surprised to learn that I am 65 and without Dr. Garcia I have no doubts that I would look my age and then some. I cannot help but notice when women have over tightened over injected facial distortion and over the years, it has become apparent, Dr. Garcia has the eyes and soul of a true artist, and unlike many cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Garcia is truly a compassionate healer, and as a cosmetic patient, I have a unique story to tell. I also credit Dr. Garcia with saving my life. Upon discovery of a lump in my breast in 1998, he arranged for an immediate mammogram and expeditiously performed a biopsy after my primary Doctor informed me it would be 3 weeks before I could come in for a first visit. The lump I had discovered was benign yet he discovered a stage 1 breast tumor that may not have appeared in the mammography for several years. Nearly 20 years later I remain cancer free, loving life and looking good at 65! Thank you Dr. Julio!!

Dr Garcia and his staff are the best. I have had Botox and fillers and have been very happy with the results. My daughter was married this year and I had my treatments before her big day. I received many compliments that day thanks to Dr Garcia.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Garcia's. I have returned for various procedures over the years such as breast revision, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and liposuction, as well as a life long patient for Botox and fillers (Sculptra & Restylane). The reasons that I have continually returned to Dr. Garcia and his practice are many. The most important reason is his honesty about whether or not a certain procedure is the "right" one for me. My expectations were always met, especially after the thorough consultation. I was also very impressed with the follow up care I received from Dr. Garcia and his staff. Being a patient of Dr. Garcia's is an experience from the moment you are greeted at reception, to the consultation with the doctor and his registered nurses, to the surgery centers, and follow up care. I would highly recommend him to any potential patient.

I have had the pleasure of having two treatments so far with Dr. Julio Garcia for the treatment of Kybella. I was so excited to hear about this new product that was on the market for under the chin fat. I have felt self conscious about my double chin and really wanted to see if I was a good candidate for Kybella. So far I have had two treatments and will be going on my third soon. I am extremely happy! The procedure itself is so easy and painless, plus Dr. Garcia is so gentle . I also love that it is noninvasive and you can return to your daily activities the next day! You can expect some mild swelling and numbness in the area for a few weeks, but that is the only side effects I experienced! I am loving my result so far and can only highly suggest that you see Dr. Garcia for this procedure because of his knowledge, expertise and bed side manner.
