Services
Facial Rejuvenation
Our facial rejuvenation procedures address signs of aging through surgical and non-surgical approaches. Patients receive customized treatment plans combining injectables, laser technology, and surgical techniques to achieve natural, youthful results. The service emphasizes long-term facial volume restoration and wrinkle reduction while maintaining facial expressiveness.
Botox Injections
Botox treatments temporarily relax facial muscles causing dynamic wrinkles. Administered personally by Dr. Monaco, this non-surgical option effectively reduces frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. Patients appreciate immediate results with minimal downtime and the doctor's artistic approach to maintaining natural facial expressions.
Breast Augmentation
Customized breast augmentation procedures enhance size and shape through implant placement or fat transfer. The service includes comprehensive consultations to determine optimal implant type, size, and incision approach. Patients benefit from Dr. Monaco's expertise in achieving proportionate, natural-looking results aligned with individual body goals.
Body Contouring
Post-weight loss body contouring addresses excess skin and tissue through abdominoplasty, thigh lifts, and body lifts. The service focuses on restoring smooth contours while minimizing scarring. Patients receive personalized surgical plans considering their transformation history and aesthetic objectives.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles. Offered products include Juvderm, Restylane, and Radiesse for lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, and nasolabial fold correction. The service emphasizes precise application for natural, rejuvenated appearances with immediate visible improvements.

Dr. Monaco is very patient and kind, she answered all of my questions and explained how things work. She made very accurate and specific plans for me. I went there for Botox injection on my chewing muscles and she gave me 15units on the larger side and smaller amounts on the other side. After 14 days, she gradually gave me touch up until the best result comes. As I recall, we did it 3 times and she didn't charge me more. Today is the fourth time I went to her office, and the experience remains good!

Dr. Monaco came highly recommended from a friend when my son took a fall and needed immediate attention from a plastic surgeon for a gash on his upper lip. Dr. Monaco saw us right away, made my son feel comfortable and was very thorough in following up to check his progress. He has healed well and I would definitely recommend Dr. Monaco.

Dr Monaco went above and beyond any doctor I have ever known. She is truly an amazing, caring, kind women. I cannot thank her enough for all her support. I went to her for a plastics procedure. She spent over an hour with me, but when she heard my medical history she felt it would be better for me to have the surgery where I live, with the surgeon who did my lung surgery on call in case of emergency . When I couldn't get an immediate appointment, she personally called the drs office and got me an appointment the same day. I am now scheduled for the surgery. I highly recommend her to anyone
