Services
Breast Augmentation
Dr. Barnett performs breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer, focusing on natural contours and proportion. With over 5,000 procedures performed, his techniques prioritize minimal scarring and long-term aesthetic balance. Ideal for patients seeking enhanced volume or post-pregnancy restoration, this procedure is tailored to individual anatomy and goals.
Facelift
Specializing in subtle, undetectable results, our facelifts address sagging skin and wrinkles for a youthful contour. Dr. Barnetts approach ensures natural facial expressions while lifting deeper tissues for lasting improvement. Patients enjoy reduced recovery time and harmonious rejuvenation aligned with facial aesthetics.
Tummy Tuck
This body contouring procedure removes excess skin and tightens muscles for a flatter abdomen. Dr. Barnett combines liposuction with precise tissue repositioning to achieve smooth, balanced results, particularly beneficial for post-pregnancy or significant weight loss patients.
Eyelid Surgery
Targeting puffiness and drooping, eyelid surgery revitalizes the eye area with minimal incisions. Dr. Barnetts technique preserves natural shape while enhancing youthfulness, often recommended for patients with hereditary or age-related lid laxity seeking refreshed, alert appearance.
Neck Lift
A neck lift addresses jowls and loose skin, restoring a defined jawline. Dr. Barnett uses strategic incisions behind the ears to tighten muscles and remove excess tissue, creating a smoother transition from face to neck for dramatic yet natural outcomes.

RESPONSE TO DR. BARNETT'S COMMENT ABOUT MY CONSULTATION
I just reread Dr. Barnett's response to my post twice. I'm confused and wondering, should I expect a refund in the amount of $350? "According to his policy that if during an initial virtual consultation an additional in -person consultation is required to confirm his assessment, the in-person consultation is performed at no additional charge."
He told me during the virtual consultation he couldn't tell me anything about my neck without examining it and then proceeded to say generalities that ran counter

Please do not go to this man. He is not good at his trade. He is also arrogant, indifferent and passive aggressive. I am on my third surgery to correct his botched procedure of me. I went to him for a very "basic" eyelid procedure. I believe he was experimenting on me with an unauthorized laser which left me grossly scarred, deformed and unable to close my eye. He did a second surgery to try to correct the first procedure and it actually made it worse. Wish I had never met this butcher of a narcissist.

I regularly get asked for plastic surgery referrals and always refer to Dr. Barnett. Ive gone to him twice. He has also operated on several of my friends. I refer to him because he is honest, very competent, and sets expectations accordingly.
