Injectables: A Safe and Non-Invasive Way to Halt Signs of Aging

Often times, genetics mean that skin does not age very well on the outside. Lessened elasticity leads to a sagging appearance in the facial area, dulled features, and the addition of wrinkles from fine lines to deep creases. Crow’s feet appear around the eyes from years of expression. Collagen growth slows and leads to a loss of volume in the cheeks. Skin begins to migrate south and hang loosely around the jaw, eyes, and chin. The effects of age take a toll on the way you look and can lead to a less-than-satisfied feeling about your appearance.

However, there are many safe and time-tested options to help you turn back the clock and achieve a younger, fresher looking face. Injectables are a fantastic option to correct mild to moderate signs of aging. Dr. Phillip Garcia is here to help you narrow down your choices and pick the right treatment for you based on your unique physiology and your own goals and personal desires. Whether you are looking to fix early signs of aging or delay a more intensive procedure through a dermal filler that will last you months to a few years, Dr. Garcia will guide you as an expert in anti-aging technology.

Botox®

Botox® provides temporary relaxation for the muscles in the face to prevent movement and over-action that causes wrinkles and folds. The appearance of lines on the face lessen, and the skin as a whole becomes smoother.

Juvederm®

Juvederm® delivers hyaluronic acid into the face, adding this beneficial compound reduces lines and wrinkles. A more youthful look can be achieved through this popular, non-invasive option.

Sculptra®

Sculptra® stimulates collagen growth to keep your face hydrated and add volume to sunken areas in need of rejuvenation. Results can last up to two years to give you a long-lasting smoother, fresher, more youthful appearance.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® volumizes your face by adding safe and beneficial calcium-derived microspheres to your facial structure to support a plumper, firmer look. Smooth out even more severe wrinkles and stimulate healthy elasticity in your skin for a radiant face.

Check out our full gallery of before and after photos to get an idea of the real results that patients just like you have achieved through a simple series of injectable fillers. These subtle anti-aging technologies can help you to naturally look sharper, younger, and increase your confidence without anyone noticing a sudden or drastic difference. They’re fantastic options for busy men and women who want to look their best without any downtime and on an affordable budget.

Perk Up Your Look (And Spirits!) With An Eye Lift

Blepharoplasty Before and After Pictures Jacksonville, FL

If you feel like you always look tired, even when you’ve had a good night’s sleep, or you’re fed up with having makeup creased in your eyelids, there’s good news. You can grow older more gracefully. It just takes a little help from an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Here’s what we know about how the eye area ages. At just one-tenth the thickness of the rest of the skin on your face, the eye area is extremely delicate. Around the age of 40 for most people, the skin around the eyes begins to lose strength and elasticity. Of course, there are always exceptions. Some young adults may notice drooping and under eye bags prematurely and some lucky people won’t see effects until they are much older than 40. Your eyes are more likely to age quickly if you’re male, have fair skin, are overweight or are genetically predisposed. Smoking and sun exposure can also cause premature aging.

Many eye creams claim to calm puffy eyes and diminish wrinkles. These creams won’t help much after a certain amount of collagen has already been lost or if heredity isn’t on your side. If you’re beyond cucumber treatments and are considering a lasting solution, it may be time to check out eyelift options for your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.

Upper Eyelid

Patients who have hooded or droopy upper eyelids may have more than aesthetic concerns. When the upper eyelid hangs low, vision can be obscured. Fortunately, this issue can be fixed by tightening the muscle in the eyelid and/or by removing excess skin and fat from the area. The procedure restores a full field of vision and allows the muscle to work effectively again.

Lower Eyelid (or Lower Eye)

Pockets of fat deposits cause wrinkled and loose skin underneath the eyes. The deposits tilt forward, pressing against an aged or weakened lower eyelid wall. In this situation, excess skin and fat are removed, giving you a more streamlined appearance.

Fat Grafting

The presence or loss of facial volume, particularly around the eyes, can make your face seem hollowed out. Sagging skin and sunken cheeks create shadows and spaces that affect how the eyes look. If this is the case for you, Fat grafting may be a good option. Fat grafting can be used during an eyelift procedure to fill out your face. Fat grafting gives a fresher, more youthful look. Patients who have had Fat grafting are thrilled with their natural-looking, permanent results. Fat grafting is another option for those wanting to do both Fat grafting, and eyelid surgery.

Brow Lift

A brow lift is sometimes recommended along with an eye lift. A brow lift moves the eyebrow line to subtly make your eyes look more awake. Combining the procedures balances the forehead with the eyes and restores a younger look.

Men Are Keeping Up With Plastic Surgery

Rhinoplasty Before and After Pictures Jacksonville, FL

If you’re a man, and you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about having some type of facial treatment or plastic surgery. You’re probably also reading this article in a place where nobody can see that you’re checking out Dr. Garcia’s website. Hey, it’s okay. You’re not alone. Men are actually the largest growing segment of patients in Dr. Phillip Garcia’s practice. Why should women be the only ones to take advantage of the latest surgical and non-surgical advances? Men have the right to look and feel their best too.

The key to getting the results you want with plastic surgery is to find a specialist like Dr. Garcia who routinely performs facial procedures on men. Men shouldn’t look too “done”. Men have different physiology from women, so it’s important to find a facial plastic surgeon that knows how to work with denser muscles, thicker skin and varying hairlines.

What exactly facial plastic surgery can do for you depends on your goals. Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery offers many surgical and non-surgical options to men including eyelifts, neck lifts, facelifts, nose jobs, chin implants, injections, fillers and more. Here’s the lowdown on a few of the most common treatments for men:

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery for men, also known as male blepharoplasty, lets you look like a better version of yourself. This procedure tightens your upper and/or lower eyelids so you can look as energetic as you feel. During the procedure, Dr. Garcia focuses on removing just the right amount of eyelid skin, muscle, and fat to maintain a masculine look.

Neck Lift

Male neck lifts get rid of a double chin or turkey neck by defining your features. When Dr. Garcia performs neck lifts on men, he tightens the skin, but no so much that it is taut. Keeping the appropriate amount of softness keeps the lines natural looking.

Neck lifts are often performed at the same time as facelifts. Describing exactly how facelifts are done is difficult because the procedures are modified for every patient depending upon his anatomy and needs. Knowing that patients don’t want to look like they’ve had plastic surgery, Dr. Garcia leaves a few distinguished wrinkles in strategic places. His male patients who have had facelifts take pride in looking strong, masculine and healthy.

Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty (i.e. nose job) will benefit you if you broke your nose playing sports when you were younger or just don’t like the shape of your nose. When performing a rhinoplasty, Dr. Garcia focuses on making your nose look good both from the front and the side. He ensures that the tip shape, nostril size, and bridge width are proportional to your face. You’ll look like an improved version of you minus the bump, lopsided bone or wide bridge.

Injectables

Injectable fillers such as Botox® are also on the rise among men. Injectables treat lines and wrinkles from smiling, squinting and frowning that make men appear angry, tired or stressed. Injectables can be used to discretely soften forehead lines, smooth nasolabial folds, fill depressions around the mouth, and more. Just the right amount of injectable can make you look sharper and feel more confident without your friends or anyone at work picking up on the change.

Here are some before and after pictures to give you an idea of what to expect. We think these guys came out looking pretty good. You will too.

If you live in the Jacksonville area and would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Phillip Garcia, MD, FACS, contact us at (904) 495-0975 or send an e-mail to TownCenter@GarciaInstitute.com. For your scheduling convenience, we have locations throughout Avondale, Jacksonville, Julington Creek/Mandarin, Fleming Island and Palm Coast.

Tired Of Sticking Your Neck Out? Check Out The Latest Contouring Options

Neck Lift Before and After Pictures Jacksonville, FL

Your neck often shows visible signs of aging faster than other parts of your body. After all, the skin on your neck is thin; even thinner than the skin on your face. Weight gain, weight loss, lax muscles or just lousy genetics make the issue even worse causing wrinkles, sagging skin and a double chin.

Fortunately, you don’t have to live with crepey skin or a turkey wattle. More options exist than ever before to restore your neck to what it used to be. Whether you’re looking for the least invasive non-surgical option or are ready to embark on a permanent surgical solution, Dr. Phillip Garcia, founder of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, located in Jacksonville, Florida, is available to help you identify the solution that will give you the results you want. So many exciting new technologies and techniques have been developed in the past few years to give you a smooth, sleek neckline.

Ultherapy®

Ultherapy® tops the list of most desirable new lift techniques. You may have seen it featured on popular television shows such as Good Morning America, 20/20, The Doctors and Dr. Oz. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology to penetrate deep into the dermal layers to smooth, lift and tighten your skin. It’s the only FDA-approved non-surgical, procedure clinically proven to increase collagen and regenerate tissue. After two to three months, patients who have been treated with Ultherapy® have enjoyed dramatic results without any downtime.

Kybella®

If you are bothered by a double chin, known in the plastic surgery world as submental fullness, Kybella® is another popular non-surgical solution. Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce fat under your chin. Kybella® is an innovative treatment because it actually destroys the fat producing cells beneath your chin. Once the fat cells are destroyed, the cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. The number of necessary treatments varies from patient to patient, but once you reach your desired goal, no further treatments are expected. Six treatments are the maximum number recommended.

Liposuction

Extensive contouring can be done with liposuction. Patients need to have adequate skin and muscle tone for this procedure to be effective. Liposuction, which has a shorter recovery time than a full neck lift, removes the fat from the subcutaneous tissue layer in your neck. It creates a more youthful, shapely neck and jaw line.

Neck Lifts

Neck lifts are the surefire long lasting way to get a firmer, more defined jaw and neckline. Although the procedure is more invasive than other neck tightening treatments, neck lifts are a permanent, sure-fire fix.

When selecting the appropriate treatment for your neck, your age, facial structure, genetics, lifestyle and preference are all factors that come into play. Dr. Phillip Garcia is available to consult with you to develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. To schedule a consultation, call (904) 495-0975 or contact us via e-mail at TownCenter@GarciaInstititue.com.

If you’re thinking about a neck lift and are curious to see what people look like after their procedures, be sure to check out our before and after photos. These patient photos taken by the staff at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery will help you see how much improvement is possible with each type of procedure.

Get Safe, Successful Results With A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Doctors who are not certified nor trained are performing plastic surgery procedures at unprecedented rates. They are attracting patients left and right with deep discounts and package deals. While the price may seem right, patients do not realize that they could be jeopardizing a lot more than their looks when they choose the wrong practitioner. Non-certified providers often skimp when it comes to providing the appropriate level of care. Patients are at risk for mistakes and potentially serious or fatal complications. Even minor procedures can be a big deal when it comes to your health and appearance.

If you’re thinking about getting a procedure, no matter how small, always do your homework and use a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Here are five reasons why:

1. Board certified plastic surgeons have received extensive training

When compared to other doctors who perform plastic surgery, surgeons certified by the ABPS have the lowest complication rate due to their education and experience.

Board certified plastic surgeons are required to complete at least three years of general surgical training and then a minimum of two years in plastic surgery. The plastic surgery specialization includes specific, in-depth instruction on facial procedures. Rigorous written and oral tests must be passed before a board certified surgeon is allowed to practice.

2. Board certified plastic surgeons are prepared to handle emergencies

If something unplanned ever happens during a treatment or procedure, you want a trained expert on your side. Board certified plastic surgeons not only have the experience necessary to get the results you’re seeking, but they take extra precautions and have the support they need to ensure your health and safety.

3. Board certified plastic surgeons only operate in accredited medical facilities

While minimally invasive procedures such as injections are often done in a plastic surgeon’s office, board certified plastic surgeons perform surgical procedures in accredited facilities such as a hospital, an in or outpatient center or a day surgery center. Accredited medical facilities must meet strict national standards for equipment, operating room safety and personnel. Precautions taken in accredited settings have been proven to decrease the numbers of serious complications.

4. Board certified plastic surgeons adhere to a strict code of ethics

The ABPS has a strict code of ethics that every certified plastic surgeon must follow. The code outlines everything that board certified surgeons are and are not allowed to do. It looks out for patients’ welfare. If a surgeon violates the code, he or she is subject to disciplinary action, including expulsion.

5. Board certified plastic surgeons are required to keep their skills up to date

Board certified plastic surgeons are required to take continuing medical education classes and pass a written test every 10 years to remain certified. The classes and tests help ensure that the plastic surgeon you select is up to date with the latest standards, techniques, and innovations.

If you’re looking for an ABPS board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Phillip Garcia of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery is a proven, trusted choice. For over 15 years, Dr. Garcia has served thousands of patients in North Florida and beyond who have sought facial plastic surgery for a variety of reasons. Also certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology, he limits his practice to facial procedures. Dr. Garcia’s focused practice has made him a respected source both locally and internationally. In addition to being a premier plastic surgeon, Dr. Garcia is an educator who has published several papers and presented numerous research topics.

Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery Has a New Look Just For You

Phillip Garcia, MD, FACS, and his staff at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery spent the summer getting refreshed! We have a new location, an updated website, two new premium medical grade product lines for home care and the absolute latest cutting-edge eyebrow shaping procedure.

Avondale: Our Newest Location

First of all, we’ve become more accessible. We’re particularly pleased to announce the opening of our latest convenient location in Avondale. Dr. Garcia will be the medical director for Elite Medical Spa located at 4282 Herschel Street. Our goal is to better serve our growing community of patients who want to feel more confident, look younger and enjoy longer lasting or permanent improvements to their appearances.

We’ve also given ourselves a digital makeover. Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery’s new website www.garciainstitute.com has officially launched, and we are thrilled to showcase some of our wonderful patients. Our patients are our top priority and we wanted our new website to reflect this. If you’ve visited our site before, you’ll notice that our new site is easier to navigate, and we’ve added more patient information. We want to help you make the best possible decisions about your treatment or procedure. If you’re thinking about getting a particular procedure or just want some preliminary information before coming to see us, be sure to check it out.

Our Newest Offerings

Serving our customers with the quality and pride that we’ve established over the years means constantly researching, testing and offering the latest and greatest procedures and services. After going through the gamut of new options, we’ve narrowed the pool down to a few new proven products and services that we think you’re going to love.

Medical Grade Skincare: ZO Skin Health + SkinMedica

Finding effective skin care products can be frustrating. Everyone has a pile of barely used department and drug store products that have been abandoned because they just don’t work. If you have been struggling to find the right skin care products for you or for a family member, give us a call to make an appointment with our Medical Aestheticians Emily or Melissa. Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery has added medical grade ZO® Skin Health and SkinMedica® products to our exclusive line of premium home treatment solutions. ZO® Skin Health and SkinMedica® products are available to support skincare during every stage of life, ranging from acne to anti-aging needs. Dr. Garcia is an expert in helping you find the right program for your skin type and need.

What makes the products you purchase at Dr. Garcia’s office superior to the ones at drug or department stores? Both ZO® Skin Health and SkinMedica® products have received FDA approval, which allows them to contain higher levels of clinical-grade ingredients than over the counter products. That means that you’re getting products that have been clinically tested for effectiveness. These products also penetrate your skin better than drugstore or department store finds. Although you may initially feel like you’re spending more money, ZO® Skin Health and SkinMedica® products actually save money in the long run. A small amount of product brings great results. You’ll use less than you would with a mainstream retail product. (would include image if tote with this wording as caption:) Plus, while supplies last, you will receive a free tote with the purchase of $250 or more in ZO® Skin Health products.

Microblading: Go from eyebrow to eyeWOW

If you’ve tried using every pencil, powder, pigment or gel to thicken or even out your eyebrows, then Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery’s new microblading solution may be just what the doctor ordered. Microblading is a semi-permanent make-up procedure that gives you natural looking results. Hair-like pigment strokes are manually tattooed under your skin. Because the strokes mimic your natural hair, your brows can be shaped to your exact liking and preferences. Although many patients return for touch-ups every six months, results can last up to three years.

Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery is committed to providing you with the latest and highest quality products and services. We invite you to visit us to check out our additions. We’re looking forward to seeing you in one of our offices located in Avondale, Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Julington Creek/Mandarin and Fleming Island/Palm Coast and hope that you will share your feedback on our progress. Be sure to contact us at (904) 495-0975 or e-mail us at TownCenter@GarciaInstitute.com if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

Get a Lift with Non-Surgical Ultherapy®

Ultherapy Before and After Pictures Jacksonville, FL

If you’ve been considering the idea of a facelift but are apprehensive about having surgery, now is the time to check out Ultherapy®, a non-surgical facelift that tightens your skin with ultrasound technology. It only takes about an hour or so. Before you know it, you’re back at work or running errands. Even better, revolutionary Ultherapy® treatment of the neck is 10 percent off through the end of September.

What is Ultherapy®?

A facelift without surgery may sound too good to be true, but Ultherapy® has been proven to be a safe, effective way to tighten your skin. Ultherapy® works by using your body’s own natural regenerative responses, lifting the skin around your eyebrows and underneath your neck. It also smooths out emerging fine lines and wrinkles on your décolletage. Ultherapy® is FDA approved. Since ultrasound equipment has been used for over 50 years, enough time has elapsed for clinical studies to determine the technology’s safety.

How does Ultherapy® work?

During an Ultherapy® session, our Medical Aesthetician, Emily, uses ultrasound imaging to see and target layers of deep skin tissue. She is able to precisely direct Ultherapy® ultrasound energy to specific areas. Ultherapy® energy bypasses the surface of your skin to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin’s dermal foundation. The result is noticeable and clinically significant; skin tissue tightening over a two- to three-month period.
What should I expect during an Ultherapy® procedure?

Many nervous patients want to know what to expect when they go for treatment. What will it feel like? Will anybody be able to tell that work was done? The procedure is actually pretty simple. First, you’ll take a mild pain reliever. Then, sonogram gel is put on the areas that are being treated. Our Medical Aesthetician glides an Ulthera® wand over your neck, jaw, cheeks, forehead and/or other areas as necessary. Patients sometimes report that there’s a strange heat sensation without the heat.

When will I see Ultherapy® results?

Immediately after the treatment, you won’t see a noticeable difference. Some redness may appear, and your skin may feel tighter. Some patients experience mild swelling a day later, but are back to normal within a day or so. You’ll start seeing results a few weeks after you’ve had the procedure. Softer curves and plumper skin subtly begin to appear, giving a younger look.

Patients love the way they look after the procedure. Often patients who get one area treated will return to get another area revitalized. The procedure can be repeated as often as every year and a half or when collagen visibly begins to slow down again.

If you live in the Jacksonville area and would like to find out whether you are a candidate for Ultherapy®, contact Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery at (904) 495-0975 to schedule a consultation with Dr. J. Phillip Garcia. Dr. Garcia has been THE Face Expert of North Florida for over 15 years. Be sure to ask about the 10 percent off professional fees for Ultherapy® of the neck valid during the month of September 2016.

17:09 22 Jun 21

It’s taken me a few months to write this review. I had under eye filler by Becky and was unbelievably dissatisfied. I opted for the use of one syringe and I assumed half would be used in each eye for an even look. I returned a few weeks later because one eye clearly appeared to have more filler than the second and they didn’t look even at all. She used the rest of the filler under that eye and immediately after leaving I could see a horrible lump of filler formed under my eye. I attributed that to normal swelling, but the big lump never went away and it has been 4 months. I called the office a few times about this concern and went in after a few weeks and told her I was very dissatisfied because there was a clear visible lump… that not only I noticed but several friends and family members have been bringing up at well! Every time I brought up the clearly visible lump she would say “if you see your before pictures there’s improvement” as if completely negating something I’m staring directly at. This back and forth went on long enough where I’d bring up the bump and she’d avoid the question. Until she finally admitted to seeing it and telling me “it’s just normal swelling, massage it and it’ll be gone in a few more weeks” . It has been 4 months and this horrible bump has not gone away. I made an appointment a few months ago to discuss options but was told I would seeing Becky again, and couldn’t bring myself to go in and re live this with her again. I will not speak as to Dr. Garcia’s abilities because I was recommended this office by multiple friends who have gone to him. But please do yourself a favor if you’re getting any kind of injectables or fillers. Do your research. I wish I would’ve read some of the reviews on Becky before I chose to have her stick needles in my face and botch the whole thing.

Dr Garcia and his staff are simply the best in the business. I needed a 4th Rhinoplasty revision after previous surgeries left me unable to breathe properly and my nose shaped with a deformity. I’m currently 3 months post-op and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! My breathing is perfect and my nose looks amazing!

I saw Dr. Garcia for botox, fillers, and lip augmentation. The results were beyond belief! I told them my biggest fear was my lips looking odd, we decided on two sessions. Becky made me feel completely at ease, she made this scary first visit a pleasure. She answered all my questions and was forthcoming with all aspects of the procedure. Every person I interacted with was very professional. I started to see changes the same day, and have gotten rave compliments. I am in my 30s so I did not have a lot of wrinkles, but the areas of note Becky was able to smooth everything out without giving me a stark look. I can't wait to go back and get a touch up. Don't wait, do it now! Do it for yourself!

The first time I came for my lip fillers they did an excellent job. My follow up? Not so much. For almost $700 I didn’t expect to have an uneven lip! I’m so disappointed. Now I actually feel insecure about them.

Life changing experience.I love Dr.Garcia and his staff. My result were beyond expectation. If you’re ethnic and looking for something natural for a rhinoplasty, he is the man! Not to mention his staff are so caring and friendly. I freaking love my nose now because it’s fits my face perfectly. My friend and family didn’t even know I had anything done. They weren’t sure what’s new about me and won’t stop complimenting. He didn’t open my nose up so didn’t have to worry about noticeable scaring. Recovery was speedy as well.

Dr. Phillip Garcia is an expert facial plastic surgeon. Just three months into recovery from extensive facial procedures I am delighted by the results.

My expectations were exceeded and moving forward I will trust Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery to help me continue to look my best.

Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery was strongly recommended to me as best in the Jacksonville for facial issues. From the initial consultation for consideration of blepharoplasty for life-long eyelid problems, to the surgery and recovery, I was enthralled with the result and speed of recovery. Most importantly, the final results appear perfectly normal without any hint of the surgery. In addition, my peripheral vision has dramatically improved. I wish I had consulted Garcia years before.

This was my first time having any sort of surgery and Dr Garcia and his team were amazing every step of the way. The results of my rhinoplasty were better than I could have expected. I could not recommend this place more!

I was a little hesitant about getting facial injections but really wanted to mitigate the deep furrows on my forehead and the look of a sagging face. I consulted with Becky Hamilton at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery. She immediately put me at ease with her professional assessment of what could be done. She recommended Botox and injections. Becky's confident attitude gave me the confidence to go ahead. I was absolutely astounded by the results. The furrows on my forehead disappeared and my facial structure seemed to lift up. I looked years younger. Thank you, Becky.

Avoid getting derma fillers here at all cost. Go to a doctor that has pride and takes time to do the injections himself. This place botched me up. To the owner: Don't bother replying with some standard jargon. The fact is your staff sucks sucks big time.

For my first time taking preventative measures, I'm not only lucky but very happy to have found this office for my first experience. And I dont plan on going anywhere else, unless Becky relocated. I tend to overthink, and immediately regret spending too much on myself. But waiting years and finally finding a place where its like "home". The receptionists are fantastic and helpful. Becky is amazing. She is thorough and knows exactly what she is doing. She made the visits comfortable, patient, and knowledgeable on what is best and precise location. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I have absolutely zero complaints. The best investment you can make is in yourself. If you're looking for the real deal, look no further. Becky is amazing!

I went to Dr. Garcia for a rhinoplasty and the results were so much better than my expectations. I suffered with breathing problems due to structural issues with my airways and I had a bump that I always wanted to get rid of. The very day my cast came off after the surgery, my life changed! I no longer felt self-conscious about my nose and I definitely look and feel more feminine. I was incredibly pleased with Dr. Garcia’s attention to detail and passion for his work. I did extensive online research on all plastic surgeons In the major cities surrounding Jacksonville and I only trusted Dr. Garcia due to previous work, testimonials and professionalism.

I have been going to Dr. Garcia for 10 years( or more) to get Juvéderm in my lips. I get it done once and it lasts the entire year for me. Him and his staff are beyond welcoming, comforting, friendly and professional. I love them and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia!

Dr. Garcia was referred to me by my friend who had a very successful procedure done seven years ago. Her results have always looked very natural and she still looks great. From beginning to end my experience was very professional and personable at the same time. The staff catered to my every need and I felt 100% safe. The in-office surgical suite was very convenient and the anesthesia/surgical staff was very competent. Post-op was a breeze because of the great care and instructions that were given as the entire staff is courteous, kind, and outstanding at providing information and education. I could not have a better doctor than Dr. Garcia! He is highly skilled and excellent at his craft in addition to being one of the nicest doctors I have ever met. I am amazed at my very natural results which exceeded my expectations!

I cant praise Dr, Garcia and his staff enough ! I had a revision Facelift and his skills are unbelievable. I now have the look I should have had in the first place and I am so happy. His office staff is kind and caring . I would not hesitate to use him again in the future. At 65, I don't think i look my age .

This was my first time ever receiving lip fillers and Becky made the experience easy and comfortable. She was able to answer all my questions during the consultation and was very professional. Becky listened to my concerns and desired outcome and made the procedure as painless as possible. I recommend Garcia Institute if you are looking for lip fillers or any other cosmetic procedures.

Incredibly positive is the best way to describe recent services provided by Becky, ARNP. I received several Juvederm injections to address problem areas. Throughout the entire procedure Becky was patient, kind and sensitive to my concerns and needs. I could not be more satisfied with the care, professionalism, and results! I highly recommend Becky and the entire Garcia team. They are number one in my book!

I have had two visits with Becky Hamilton, ARNP. We achieved great results with my procedure. She is warm, caring and spent the beginning of our initial visit talking about the results I wish to achieve, and moreover, if my expectations were realistic. Becky then explained the procedure and the products to be used. I felt very informed and comfortable under her care. From the initial phone call to set my appointment to completing my procedure - a pleasant and wonderful experience. Thank you Becky and staff :-)

The minute I walked through the door I knew I was in the right place. Sheyla’s smile and attentiveness wiped away all my nervousness. I met with Kim and Dr. Garcia. They listened to by concerns and provided options. I selected to have an upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Garcia and Rosie performed the procedure and within minutes I had eyelids. His skills are extraordinary!!! Their post-op care was amazing. Any questions or concerns were answers immediately. Once the sutures were removed I scheduled an appointment with Lori for a consult. She introduced me to a great product line for my skin. Not only do I have eyelids, my skin looks and feels amazing. I’m shocked at the compliments I receive. All due to Dr. Garcia, Kim, Lori, Sheyla and Rosie!! I can’t thank them enough. I can’t wait to enjoy the Medical Spa treatments.

Dr. Garcia & his entire staff are professional, responsive, friendly and accessible. I highly recommend the services they offer from surgery to less invasive cosmetic procedures & enhancements. I trust their guidance because they truly want the best for their patients. I would look no further if you want to feel confident in your care & the results you will achieve! I love going to see them because they practice a true "team approach." I feel I'm in good hands whenever I'm there! I also love the results of my surgery, the post-op follow up, and the aftercare services I've elected to have. Thank you for the superior care! I'm a superfan!

For years I stressed about my under eye bags. I tried everything to cover them and all types of creams to no avail. Then I met Dr. Garcia and his team! They are amazing! Dr. Garcia and Rosie performed a lower blepharoplasty surgery on me and I have never been happier. They made me feel comfortable, even had me laughing during the procedure, and they did an amazing job! I’m am so thrilled with my results! My under eye bags are gone and I no longer look like a haggard social worker. Thank you Dr Garcia and team!!!

This was my first time going to a facility for any cosmetic procedure. The woman who did my lip fillers was amazing! I can’t remem her name but she has black hair and has been doing that job for a long time. She made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable there and she did everything she could to make me happy with what I was getting done. This place really surpassed my expectations! Not to mention, my lip fillers are outstanding. I would recommend anyone here. Thank you !

Dr. Phillip Garcia did an outstanding job with my teenage daughter’s rhino-septoplasty. From the first consultation, through surgery, recovery and post-operative follow up care, Dr. Garcia and his staff were always there for us. He is highly skilled and has wonderful bedside manners. He is never rushed and assures to establish and maintain superb level of care. My daughter’s breathing is improved and she is very happy with the natural looking results. His assistant, Rosie, has also been a wonderful support throughout. I would recommend Dr. Phillip Garcia to everyone who seeks naturally beautiful and fully functionable facial reconstructive approach, wholeheartedly!

I was so hopeful that I could get close to the results Dr. Garcia discussed with me at my consultation. My results are better than I even hoped for, and I wish I hadn't spent any time conflicted about the decision to have a facelift at 60. I would do this over again in a heart beat! At six weeks out, I am looking on the outside, how I feel on the inside. I am 100% satisfied, every single day and so grateful to Dr. Garcia and his staff!

Thank you, Joni, for taking such great care of my skin!!
