La Jolla

Introduction

Introduction

La Jolla is known for its dramatic coastline, vibrant village atmosphere, and a community that values wellness and self-care. Many residents looking for experienced cosmetic surgery travel just minutes south to meet with Dr. Susan Kaweski and her team at Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery, where thoughtful consultations and natural-looking results guide every treatment plan.

Services

Face

Subtle facial refinement can make a meaningful difference in how you look and feel. Patients from La Jolla often visit Dr. Kaweski for procedures such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelifts, and brow lifts. Each treatment is approached with careful attention to facial balance, helping patients look refreshed while preserving the character that makes their appearance uniquely theirs.

Body

Body contouring procedures are often considered when exercise and healthy habits no longer produce the changes someone hopes to see. Patients traveling from La Jolla frequently explore treatments such as liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, thigh lifts, and lower body lifts. These procedures focus on refining contours and restoring a balanced silhouette.

Breast

Breast procedures can enhance confidence, restore shape, or address physical discomfort depending on the patient’s goals. Dr. Kaweski works with many La Jolla patients seeking breast augmentation, breast lifts, reduction, or implant removal. Each surgical plan is designed with careful consideration of proportion, comfort, and results that feel balanced with the body.

Gender Affirming

Gender-affirming procedures can help patients align their physical appearance with their identity in a meaningful way. Dr. Susan Kaweski works with individuals pursuing gender-affirming breast and facial procedures, developing treatment plans that reflect each patient’s goals, anatomy, and comfort. Every procedure is approached with care, discretion, and thoughtful surgical planning.

Injectables

Injectable treatments offer a convenient way to refresh the face without surgery. Options such as neurotoxins, dermal fillers, lip fillers, and PRP can soften expression lines, restore volume, and subtly enhance facial features. These treatments are performed with precision to maintain natural movement while improving overall facial balance.

Lasers & Energy

Laser and energy-based technologies can address a variety of skin concerns, including uneven pigmentation, visible veins, unwanted hair, and changes in skin texture. These treatments stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes, gradually improving clarity and tone. Many patients incorporate laser treatments into their long-term skincare routine.

Skin Rejuvenation

Maintaining healthy skin helps support both recovery and long-term aesthetic outcomes. Patients receive guidance on supportive aftercare treatments that promote recovery and maintain skin quality. Options such as Silagen® scar refinement are often recommended following surgery to help soften and reduce the appearance of scars.

Some of Our Most Popular Procedures

Blepharoplasty

The delicate skin around the eyes can begin to change earlier than other areas of the face. Eyelid surgery addresses excess skin and puffiness that may create a tired appearance. By carefully refining the eyelids, this procedure restores brightness to the eyes while maintaining the natural expression that defines a person’s face.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation remains one of the most requested procedures for patients seeking a fuller shape and improved balance. Using implants or fat transfer techniques, the procedure is tailored to complement each patient’s natural proportions. The focus is always on creating results that move naturally and feel harmonious with the rest of the body.

Facelift

Over time, changes in skin elasticity and facial structure can soften the jawline and cheeks. A facelift helps restore definition by repositioning deeper facial tissues and smoothing excess skin. Patients from La Jolla often choose this procedure when they want noticeable rejuvenation without dramatically altering their natural appearance.

Mommy Makeover

Many women find that pregnancy changes the abdomen and breasts in ways that exercise alone cannot fully address. A mommy makeover combines procedures such as breast surgery, liposuction, and tummy tuck techniques to address these concerns together. Each treatment plan is customized to restore contour while respecting the patient’s lifestyle and goals.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck improves the appearance of the midsection by tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin. This procedure is commonly considered after pregnancy or significant weight loss when the abdominal area no longer responds to exercise alone. The result is a firmer, smoother contour that better reflects the patient’s efforts.
