About Dr. Elizabeth A. Almeyda

Attending the finest institutions of learning will not make you a great physician. Throughout my years in medical school, I surrounded myself with the highest achievers, because I wanted to be the best. This experience intensified my education and the breadth of my comprehension, which I would later build upon.

“Many women have confided to me that they would never consider going to a male plastic surgeon, because he can never really understand them like another woman can. Common sense tells me that they are probably right, even though the vast majority of plastic surgeons are male.

“If a smaller nose, an eyelift, or a tummy tuck can make a difference in a person’s sense of self-worth, then its value cannot be denied. Just as time and gravity work to unhinge a person who does nothing but grow older, a thinking person will overcome these forces by applying another. That is where I come in.”

Practice Information

It takes more than the skilled hands of a master plastic surgeon to gain such trust from an entire community. It takes a lovely facility equipped with resources such as these:

A fully equipped operating room which rivals a hospital operating room
Recovery rooms and treatment rooms
Sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist
Advanced liposuction equipment
Computer imaging equipment with digital camera
A qualified and attentive staff focused on making the patient comfortable before, during, and after the procedure
Operating and Recovery Room duties performed by a Registered Nurse

These are the resources and credentials you must demand before placing your trust and fondest wish in the hands of another human being.
