Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our surgeons customize implant type, size, and placement for natural results. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of limited activity, with final outcomes visible after swelling subsides. Patients report improved self-confidence and proportionality.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles for a flatter profile. It addresses post-pregnancy changes or weight fluctuations. The procedure combines liposuction with skin excision for optimal contouring. Recovery requires 2-4 weeks of restricted movement, with long-term results maintained through stable weight. Patients often experience enhanced comfort in clothing and improved posture.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve aesthetics and function. Our surgeons address size, symmetry, or breathing issues caused by structural defects. Techniques include cartilage grafting or septal adjustments. Swelling may persist for months, but initial results appear within weeks. Patients report increased facial harmony and, in some cases, better respiratory function.
Non-Surgical Injectables
Injectables like BOTOX and hyaluronic acid fillers reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume. Treatments take 15-30 minutes with immediate return to daily activities. Results last 3-18 months depending on product type. Our specialists use precise injection techniques to maintain natural expressions while softening lines around the eyes, lips, and forehead.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Its not a weight-loss solution but targets diet-resistant pockets. Techniques include traditional suction or laser-assisted methods for skin tightening. Patients resume light activity within days and see final contours after 3-6 months. Results are long-lasting with proper lifestyle maintenance.

This place is the best! I had a tummy tuck and replaced my old implants. Everything went great and the staff and doctor's are very professional and friendly. I also love that they are always on time... The most I have ever waited for an appointment is about 5 minutes. I highly recommend them!

Finding the right plastic surgeon is such a tough decision because, if something goes wrong, your appearance can be damaged for life! I interviewed many doctors before moving forward with Dr. Careaga. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and skilled and (gasp!) didn't recommend the highest priced procedure that other doctors had recommended. I'm not six months after my breast lift/augmentation and tummy tuck and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. I highly recommend Dr. Careaga.

Dr. Careaga and his staff are top notch the best in South Florida and possibly even the country. His unique perspective makes every one of his clients feel like they are comfortable and safe. I had my tummy tuck with Dr. Careaga and I cannot be more pleased with my results. His post op care is very personal and he makes sure you are okay every step of the journey. A true expert in his field.

After looking for several doctors in Miami I found Dr. Careaga and I knew he was the one! I couldnt be happier with the decision of having him as my surgeon. Now it has been 3 weeks since my breast augmentation surgery and I absolutely love them! Everything went super smooth and pain free! And he did exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend Dr. Careaga and his staff. Since day 1 they were very sweet and kind! Thank you so much for everything!!!
