Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening.

Both saline and silicone options are available with comprehensive guidance on implant selection, placement, and expected outcomes.

I am so happy and relieved to have found Dr. Varkarakis!! While looking for a surgeon to perform liposuction and fat transfer (BBL) in Miami, I was discouraged by the amount of bad reviews. First off, Dr. Varkarakis and his staff are genuinely caring and compassionate people. From the initial conversation to the 6 month follow up, I felt like my life would be safe with them. Secondly, I love my results. I was looking for a modest change and Dr. V was keenly attuned to my vision for my body from beginning to end.
Although, this was my first cosmetic surgery, Im able to compare my BBL experience

I am very happy to have my much-needed surgery done by Dr. Varkarakis. Before going to his office, I looked for two or three specialists. However, I did not like different things about them, and especially I did not find the feeling of confidence and welcoming that Dr. Varkarakis' office made me feel. When I call to make my appointment Madelyn one person from his team answered and very kindly responded to all my questions. When I met Dr. Varkarakis I definitely felt he was the Dr. to choose. He reaffirmed my confidence and trust because I felt he was very experienced and knew what he was doing

Wow, just wow. My baby had an emergency and Dr. Varkarakis came to the rescue. He was kind and most importantly, he treated my son as if he was his own. When we came for the follow up, he was waiting for us. His work is above the rest, a true artist. Thank you from me and my entire family.

Great doctor! Very caring. Totally Recommend him. I had a massive underarm mass removed, its healing great. Dr has followed up various times after surgery, via facetime, calls and in person, even gave me personal number.

Dr. V explained the Morpheus 8 treatment and made me feel safe and confident to proceed. After my 1st visit, I already see the difference. Do not let anyone else touch your skin!
