Meet Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Agha
As you consider plastic surgery, one of the most important decisions you will make is choosing your surgeon. Choose your plastic surgeon as if your results depend on it. Although many physicians offer cosmetic surgery, not all are trained in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and not all are Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Not all surgical results are the same. Our philosophy is commitment to excellence in patient care and superior surgical results. We encourage you to compare Dr. Agha’s surgical results with other pre- and post-operative results.

Apart from training in the discipline of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, it is also important to understand the artistic and aesthetic philosophy of your chosen plastic surgeon. This is best appreciated by reviewing your surgeon’s portfolio. Dr. Agha believes that an understanding of the human anatomy and the changes that occur through aging, pregnancy, weight loss, and lift style are fundamental for achieving optimal surgical results. In addition, appreciation of aesthetics, beauty, and human physique forms the basis of optimal artistic results. Dr. Agha’s philosophy is to minimize the size of any given incision, and his training in endoscopic plastic surgery enables him to complete surgical procedures through well-hidden, minimal access incisions.
