Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping

58 Photos14 Reviews184 Q&A0 Offers
Rhinoplasty surgery is one of the most technically challenging procedures. The surgeon must take into account both the internal (functional) and external (cosmetic) aspects of the nose and create a result that’s in balance with the entire face. My training in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology means I am an expert in both aspects of this procedure, and I perform surgeries to deliver cosmetic refinements as well improving the nasal airway. For cosmetic patients, rhinoplasty allows me to help reshape the nose so that it appears in better proportion with the rest of their facial features, creating a more balanced appearance. During the consultation at my Baltimore office, I often use computer imaging to further enhance the communication between the patient and myself, helping to ensure the patient knows in advance what to expect from their nose job surgery.

Face and Neck Lifts

33 Photos22 Reviews96 Q&A0 Offers
Undergoing a facelift at my Baltimore offices will refresh your facial features, turning back the hands of time and empowering you to age with confidence. Also known as a rhytidectomy, this surgical procedure entails making carefully-concealed incisions along the hairline and recontouring your face by removing excess skin and lifting the facial tissue beneath. The result: smoothed wrinkles and folds, restored volume, a more defined jawline, and a refreshed, youthful appearance. While I recommend facelift surgery for a more dramatic and enduring reversal of advanced aging and sagging, I can further optimize my patients’ results with complementary procedures. Surgical options include a brow lift, eyelid lift, and facial fat transfer, while some patients prefer nonsurgical treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, or a “liquid facelift.” I can also refresh my patient’s neck area by performing liposuction and muscle tightening underneath their chin.

Love My Results!

I went in to see Dr. Kontis striving to solve a problem that had bothered me for years - a double chin that I could not seem to get rid of. The women in my family tend to have this feature, and after consulting a few places and also consulting about Kybella, my hair dresser recommended Dr. Kontis and I soon put in for a consult. From the beginning Dr. Kontis was warm and easy to talk to, which easily set aside my nervousness about coming in for a plastic surgery consult. What made me trust her even more is that I had put on my consult sheet that I thought I may want a chin implant to help with jawline projection, and she quickly said that would be unnecessary. I decided to go ahead with the surgery and schedule was fairly quick and easy as well as payment. I did the liposuction awake with the help of a Xanax and Dr. Kontis and her surgery team were quick and efficient, asking throughout the procedure if I was ok and quick to respond if anything was causing any discomfort. I left wrapped up but on my own feet and excited to see the results! Healing was easy and I managed pain with Tylenol exclusively - all recovery points were explained to me and my husband well to facilitate my healing. I am very pale and bruise easily (if you know you know) and expected there to be a lot of dark bruising. I was (happily) wrong! I had one point of deep bruising that faded quickly with the aftercare products provided by Dr. Kontis' office. Healing went relatively quickly, with the worst swelling happening a day or two after surgery and quickly resolving afterward. If you are an instant results type of person like me - the results are worth the wait! The results were even better than I expected once I saw the side by side photos of my new jaw line. Thank you a million times Dr. Kontis! I have been recommending her to my friends and coworkers since, and if I decide I would like to consult about any further work, I won't be looking anywhere else!

Fantastic Results!

Doctor Theda Kontis is an amazing surgeon. She performed a brow lift, upper blepharoplasty and lower face and neck lift and I am very pleased with the outcome. The results are very natural and after 5 weeks of the surgery, my incisions are almost gone. Prior to my appointment with Dr. Kontis, I did an extensive search for the best plastic surgeon doctor for facial rejuvenation and it paid off. She gave me the utmost confidence in her expertise and technical skills. If you are looking for the best of the best in facial esthetics in Baltimore, I highly recommend Dr. Kontis.

The Entire Experience Was Stellar!

Thank you, Dr. Kontis. I am glad that I did this procedure to eliminate the eye bags that have bothered me for so many years. No matter how much rest I would get, those pesky eye bags just kept making me look older and older. But no more! The entire experience was stellar! You and the staff was great! Thank you.

Excellent, I Wish I Had Done This 4 Years Ago.

Our family has known Dr Kontis and her practice since 2007. My wife has had 2 separate procedures (2007 & 2023). She and I are pleased with the results. My daughter had a procedure in 2017. Additionally, my daughter and son used her services following facial lacerations. These were in 2008 and 2020 respectively. We are grateful for Dr Kontis' availability to suture these wounds with precision and skill. The front office did a good job communicating and coordinating to schedule the appointments for the procedure and follow up visits. This was by phone, eMail and/or text. This was really helpful. I had my procedure in May 2025 (Blepharoplasty, brow lift and some skin excisions). This was performed under general anesthesia. Although I wanted to do something about the bags under my eyes and droopy eyelids, I was pretty apprehensive. I had a lot of questions; all of them were answered. I'm very pleased! Yes, it hurt. I'm a guy, so my pain tolerance is lower than my wife's -hah! I was prepared. I made sure I had ice. I planned where I’d sleep and what I’d eat. I cleaned the house and prepared for a few “rough” days. The consultation and instructions were good. Everything was realistic. I had planned my time off work and was able to resume my normal routines as described/expected. I really wish I had done this 4 years ago.

Best of the Best

I had a few consults with other plastic Surgeons before I met Dr. Kontis. I knew within few minutes after meeting her that she was the one to trust. She is professional, honest, personable and tells you exactly what to expect after the procedure. I had upper and lower Blepharoplasty, the procedure went as I was told, easy and no pain. I look forward to our follow ups so I can personally tell her how amazing and wonderful she truly is. If you are looking for the best, you found it in Dr. Kontis.

Looking Amazing and Very Happy

Dr. Kontis is amazing! I would not even consider another facial plastic surgeon because she is very thorough and is an expert in the field of facial plastic surgery as well as injectables. I am so happy with the facial surgery that she has done for me. I feel like I really do look 20 years younger.I look very natural post surgery and always knew that I would have her do my facial surgery.Since I have been going to her for many years for injectables, I always felt she enhanced my appearance and never felt "over done" as many people might fear. The entire staff are wonderful as well. Everyone is so nice, welcoming, and informative.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty with Fat Transfer

I was tired of looking tired and my eyes certainly showed it with a "sunken" appearance. I was so confused with all the options out there, but Dr Kontis gave me a personal consultation showing me the best option for me. With any extra fat there was after the transfer, she put it around the thin part of my mouth giving it a more full look. I'm extremely satisfied - even just 6 weeks out - more improvement to come! I would recommend Dr Kontis and her team to anyone who is searching for natural looking beauty that will subtract years from their face.

Why did I wait? Absolutely thrilled with the results

I recently underwent an eye lid lift surgery, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. After years of feeling self-conscious about my drooping eyelids, I decided to take the plunge and undergo this transformative procedure. My journey began with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kontis. She took the time to explain the procedure in detail, discussed my expectations, and answered all of my questions. Now, several months post-surgery, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My eyelids are no longer drooping, and the improvement in my appearance has been remarkable. Strangers have comments on "how blue my eyes are". My eyes look bluer because they are more open. My mother always said I looked tired. Not anymore! I look refreshed and more youthful, which has boosted my confidence tremendously. Make your appointment today!

Dermal Fillers

Very pleased with the results - exceeded my expectations

I have been going to Northern Virginia for dermal filler consults. My aesthetician recommended that I consult with Dr. Kontis and she raved about her work. I couldn’t have been happier. I loved her personality and manner. She was thorough, explained my options and expected results, and helped me make the appropriate decisions. I was pleased with the results. The staff was warm and friendly from the moment I entered the office until I left. I’ve had the same experience with follow-up visits. I am very pleased with the results and have complete confidence in her skills and work. I highly recommend Dr. Kontis for anyone seeking dermal filler services in the Baltimore area.
