"I’m passionate about combining traditional techniques like deep plane face and neck lifts with the latest technology and regenerative medicine to achieve the safest, most lasting results."

Spotlight Procedure

Plasma Lyft

Our Plasma Lyft procedure is receiving exceptional reviews from both patients and plastic surgeons. By combining a deep plane facelift, plasma resurfacing, and fat grafting, Dr. Lacerna achieves 3D correction of facial and neck aging—something a facelift alone cannot do.

Spotlight Procedure

Extended Deep Plane Facelift

Our Extended Deep Plane Facelift is delivering transformative, natural-looking results for patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By releasing and repositioning the deeper facial structures instead of simply tightening the skin, Dr. Lacerna restores youthful contours to the midface, jawline, and neck for longer-lasting, harmonious results that traditional facelift techniques cannot achieve.
