Introduction

Located in the heart of San Diego, Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery welcomes patients from across the city and surrounding communities seeking thoughtful, natural-looking cosmetic procedures. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Susan Kaweski, the practice has built a long-standing reputation for personalized care, surgical precision, and results designed to complement each patient’s unique features.

Services

Face

Subtle facial refinements can help restore balance and definition while preserving the expressions that make each face recognizable. In San Diego, patients often visit Dr. Kaweski for treatments such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelifts, brow lifts, and neck lifts. Every procedure is carefully planned to refine facial balance while maintaining a natural appearance.

Body

Body contouring procedures help refine areas where stubborn fat or loose skin remain despite healthy habits. Patients throughout San Diego explore options such as liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, body lifts, and mommy makeover procedures. Each treatment plan is customized to restore smoother proportions while supporting the patient’s overall lifestyle and goals.

Breast

Breast procedures are often chosen to restore balance, enhance volume, or relieve physical discomfort. San Diego patients frequently consult with Dr. Kaweski about procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lifts, breast reduction, implant removal, and male breast reduction. Each approach is designed to create balanced results that complement the body.

Gender Affirming

Gender-affirming procedures can help individuals align their physical appearance with their identity in a meaningful way. Dr. Susan Kaweski offers gender-affirming breast and facial procedures tailored to each patient’s goals, anatomy, and long-term well-being. Every treatment plan is developed with care, discretion, and a thoughtful approach to both aesthetics and patient comfort.

Injectables

Injectable treatments offer a non-surgical way to refresh the face and address early signs of aging. Options such as neurotoxins, dermal fillers, lip fillers, and PRP can soften expression lines, restore volume, and enhance certain facial features. Each treatment is performed with precision to maintain natural facial movement and balanced contours.

Lasers & Energy

Laser and energy-based treatments can improve a wide range of skin concerns, including uneven tone, visible veins, unwanted hair, and textural irregularities. These technologies stimulate the skin’s natural renewal processes, gradually enhancing clarity and smoothness. Many patients incorporate these treatments into their long-term skincare and maintenance routines.

Skin Rejuvenation

Healthy skin plays an important role in both recovery and long-term aesthetic results. Patients often incorporate treatments such as chemical peels, facials, microneedling, and lymphatic massage to improve skin texture and overall tone. Products like Silagen® scar refinement may also be recommended after surgery to support proper healing and minimize visible scarring.

Some of Our Most Popular Procedures

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, helps address excess skin and puffiness around the eyes. These changes can make someone appear tired even when they feel well rested. By carefully refining the eyelids, the procedure restores a brighter, more refreshed look while preserving the natural character of the face.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation remains one of the most requested procedures among patients in San Diego. Whether performed with implants or fat transfer techniques, the goal is to enhance volume and shape while maintaining natural proportions. Each treatment plan is customized to complement the patient’s body and aesthetic preferences.

Facelift

As facial tissues change over time, the lower face and neck may begin to lose definition. A facelift helps restore these contours by repositioning underlying tissues and smoothing excess skin. Many patients choose this procedure when they want noticeable rejuvenation while still looking like themselves.

Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy can bring lasting changes to the body, particularly in the abdomen and breasts. A mommy makeover combines procedures such as tummy tuck surgery, breast surgery, and liposuction to address these concerns together. The goal is to restore contour while helping patients feel confident in their bodies again.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck improves abdominal contour by tightening weakened muscles and removing excess skin. This procedure is often considered after pregnancy or significant weight changes when the midsection no longer reflects the effort someone puts into maintaining their health and fitness.
