The practice was established in 2006 by Dr. Karen Horton as a private practice in Pacific Heights and is located in the Pacific Professional Building. It operates a physician-owned surgery center on site, which the practice describes as a modern facility with advanced equipment, designed specifically for plastic surgery. The surgical facility is Quad A accredited, and the practice's team is all women.
The practice describes its model as boutique, limiting its patient load so each patient receives individualized attention. Care is meant to cover everything from the first consultation through post-operative follow-up, with the same team working with patients from consultation through surgery day and recovery. The aim is natural-looking results that enhance each patient's own features, and some before-and-after images are withheld for privacy, with additional confidential examples shown at consultation. The practice no longer participates in insurance networks and focuses on self-pay, with financing accepted through Cherry, PatientFi and CareCredit. After surgery, the office can guide patients through starting an insurance claim for reimbursement.
Surgical services cover breast procedures including augmentation, lift, mastopexy with augmentation, tubular breast correction, reduction, implant removal, fat grafting, cosmetic nipple surgery, nipple reduction and inverted nipple repair. Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is offered using implants placed prepectorally or the body's own tissue, including microsurgical DIEP and TUG flap techniques and nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. Complex revision surgery is available after reconstruction, reduction, lift or implants, including for breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment. Body procedures include tummy tuck, liposuction, a Mommy Makeover customized for women after pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, labiaplasty, post weight loss body contouring and umbilicoplasty. Facial procedures include face, neck and MACS lifts, eyelid surgery, earlobe repair and cosmetic ear surgery, and male breast reduction for gynecomastia is also offered. Surgical patients can have scar therapy with a nurse practitioner six to eight weeks after surgery.
Non-surgical services include BOTOX and Dysport, injectable dermal fillers and lip fillers, Sculptra, SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM, intense pulsed light, Clear + Brilliant laser skin rejuvenation, XERF skin tightening, PRF EZ Gel, microneedling, LATISSE eyelash lengthening and BOTOX for bruxism, hyperhidrosis and lip flips.
The practice aims for natural-looking results that enhance each patient's own features, with individualized care and attention to detail, and it describes itself as patient-centered.
Warm, calm and private, in a facility designed for plastic surgery.
