AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Face and Neck Lifts
••
I specialize in performing Deep Plane Facelift surgery. This is a more minimally invasive technique that uses short incisions to treat and lift the deeper muscle and fat pads in the face and neck. This technique is known for creating a long lasting and naturally refreshed appearance while avoiding the overly tight, pulled or puffy appearance of traditional facelifts.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
••
I specialize in performing “closed rhinoplasty” which is a surgical technique where there are no external or visible scars. This is a technique that can be used to achieve a natural nasal refinement to provide patients improved facial balance while showcasing their individual beauty.

Prior to selecting Dr. Malone for my deep plane face and neck lift, I studied these reviews. Now, four months post-surgery, I can only confirm every great review Dr. Malone has received. Dr. Malone is attentive, caring and genuinely supportive of your goals. In addition, every member of her team - from her receptionist, client services (billing) and nursing staff - are absolutely stellar. I am thrilled with the results and exactly consistent with expectation.
Dr. Malone is THE surgeon to go to if you are considering any facial rejuvenation. I did the deep plane lift and C02 laser, and I could not be more thrilled with the results. I look natural, but with a decade of aging erased from my face. I would not go to anyone else. Both Dr. Malone and her staff are professionals through and through. They are responsive, attentive and understanding of the emotions that go with this kind of surgery. So lucky to have been referred to
...read moreMy experience with Dr. Malone was absolutely wonderful. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I had a deep plane facelift with tightening of the neck and the results were so natural that even though many people commented on how good I looked, they couldn't figure out quite why I looked younger. There were no scars, no obvious signs except I looked younger. It made me feel fantastic and helped me feel more comfortable at work.

...read moreI had an amazing experience with Dr. Malone. It has been 1 yr and I am ecstatic at the result of upper eyelid surgery I received from Dr. Malone. From the moment I met Dr. Malone during my consultation, I knew she had to be the one that I can trust with my face. At consultation, Dr. Malone was very thorough in answering all my questions and concerns, and explained the procedure extensively. She did not try to upsell a product or procedure. After my extensive research and met with
...read moreTo begin with, I like to do my homework in regards to any kind of plastic surgery! I had been to 3 different doctors, all of which had excellent reputations. I went back to one of these doctors twice and he seemed annoyed that I had more questions to be answered. He rushed me through the appt. and I thought to myself- this is my face and I didn't appreciate being rushed!
I went to Dr. Malone and she gave me an hour of her time and encouraged me to return if I had any more questions.
...read moreI had a consultation with Dr. Melanie Malone on January 8th, 2024. She was very professional and kind. I came to address 3 concerns with her: neck, upper lip and nose. She listened very carefully to my concerns and asked questions to gain a complete understanding of what I wanted to do. My situation was a “more difficult case” she explained because the changes I wanted to make were very small in the neck and nose. I’m a recovering perfectionist ha ha. Dr. Malone explained the
...read moreI research everything and when I decided to get a facelift with platysmaplasty and lower blepharoplasty. I knew that a Deep plane facelift was the right choice but didn’t know by whom. I wasn’t going to leave this to chance or go on a hunch so I went to get consultations from numerous surgeons from New York to LA and for those of you considering doing the same, let me save you the time and the money. Dr. Malone is the best. I was expecting the recovery to be pretty long and uncomfortable
...read moreDr.Malone performed a lower face and neck lift along with a blepharoplasty and brow lift in March of this year, roughly 20 weeks ago. When I first went to her office for the consultation, she took about an hour to discuss with me the details about how she would perform the procedure, and the rationale as well. She was more than thorough and did not put any pressure for me to make a decision. I consulted with 2 other doctors and ultimately chose her because I felt her approach
