Experience. Expertise. Integrity. Kindness. My results are natural. Most people don't know why I look so good. I tell them I had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Malone. She is a gifted surgeon and a true physician. I am very grateful for her dedication to delivering results that I will enjoy for decades.

For many years I was insecure with my nose tip and nostrils. Doctor Malone was kind enough to share that I did not need a rhinoplasty but she listened to my needs and I was thrilled that she was going to help me achieve my dream. The morphed pictures allowed me to have an idea of how my nose would look. However, I had my complete trust in Doctor Maloneβs talent and attention to detail. My nose was shaped and grafted with precision. I felt safe choosing Doctor Malone because of her talent and her safety precautions. The anesthesiologist spoke with me the day before surgery regarding my health. The anesthesiologist was dedicated for my health and safety during the procedure. The nurses were there to help me before, during and after surgery. I was able to go home the same day. I was given detailed guidance for my pre-operation and advice for a smooth recovery from Nurse Sky. I appreciate Doctor Maloneβs team for being kind and supportive during my journey. Thank you very much Doctor Malone for making my very dearest dream come true! π·

What can I say about Dr. Malone? She is an expert at what she does, and a true artist. I am only four months out from my Deep Plane Facelift and Upper Blepharoplasty, but I am already beyond thrilled, and I know my results will continue to improve over the next 8 months. The minute I met Dr. Malone, she put me at ease. This type of surgery is a big decision, and I was nervous. Her knowledge, expertise in this specific technique, and her ability to make me feel comfortable asking any and all questions made the decision to choose her as my surgeon easy for me. Dr. Malone has a great support staff full of amazing women as well. From Natalie's welcoming smile at the front desk to Ela who walked me through pre-op instructions, to Amber, who has been following me post-op and is always willing to answer any questions I have. Couldn't be a better team! I can't recommend Dr. Malone enough!

From my 1st meeting with Dr. Malone, I knew she had to be the one I can trust with my face. After extensive research & meeting with other SD plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Malone. Dr. Malone is intelligent, highly skilled, kind, empathic & has compassion for the well-being of her patients. She provided me with excellent patient care,. During consultation, she did not try to upsell a procedure or a product & I never felt rushed It's been a year since my upper bleph procedure & I am extremely satisfied with the results. It took years of my eyes & face. My eyes looks bright, alive & no more upper lid sagging or tired look. My family & friends continue to praised & give me compliments. Thank you Dr. Malone for your awesome & brilliant work! Kudos to your staff- Natalie, Amber & Riley for being so responsive & supportive everytime I call with a question. You are Amazing Dr. Malone! Thank you for sharing your gift, talent & expertise with us! For anyone looking for a plastic surgeon- look no further for Dr. Malone is the best! I recommend Dr. Malone to all my family, friends & colleagues. With my sincere gratitude to you & your staff!

Dr. Malone was amazing. I went in for a Micro-needling appointment with prp and the office was stunning and so clean. The check In process was quick and easy. Dr.Malone explained the process of the procedure and was super informative. She asked me what areas of my face I wanted to focus on the most and did an amazing job it was quick and painless to say the least and my skin feels absolutely incredible. I will definitely be coming back for more treatments.
