The surgical expertise provided by Naples Plastic Surgery offers you numerous options to enhance your facial appearance, whether you seek to smooth away wrinkles or to define contours. Our surgeons, Dr. Paul M. Gardner and Dr. Leo M. Baccaro, are highly adept at performing aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgical procedures for the face that help correct age-related decline, ease imperfections, and make you appear younger.
When patients come in for facelift consults, they’ll often ask me, “Do I have to do a full facelift? Can I do a mini facelift?” What I’d like to talk about are the differences between a full and mini and the pros and cons of using one versus the other.
A full facelift really encompasses the mid-face, the jowl area and part of the neck. There is a bigger commitment of time, money and recovery but the results are phenomenal. The patient who expects or wants their face to be completely rejuvenated, a full facelift is really what they need.
A mini facelift is perfect for someone who has a bit of jowling here, maybe some loose skin down here. Tissues have sagged a little but they’re pretty happy with their eyes and their cheeks, they just really don’t like what’s happening here. Is it for everyone? Absolutely not, because if the cheeks have dropped and they’re hollow in here and their face is sagging up here and you do a mini, they’re going to look out of balance. This is still going to need work and it will show. So, we definitely don’t want to do a mini facelift on someone who needs a full facelift.
But for those who can do a mini facelift, minimal downtime, minimal incisions and great results. It’s a great procedure.
Dr. Gardner is a nationally recognized cosmetic surgeon who has performed thousands of surgeries during his celebrated career, while Dr. Baccaro trained under some of the nation’s top cosmetic surgeons at one of the world’s most sophisticated medical centers.

This has helped make our Naples’ plastic surgery center the go-to cosmetic surgical restoration of choice for Florida’s elite.
Our highly regarded cosmetic surgeons of Naples Plastic Surgery, Dr. Paul M. Gardner and Dr. Leopoldo M. Baccaro, help patients resolve their concerns by performing the full range of facial plastic surgery procedures, including:
The facelift is an ideal solution for sagging skin and wrinkles on the face which can lead to an aged and tired appearance. This procedure involves tightening the skin and firming the underlying muscles to produce a smoother, more youthful appearance. The mini facelift surgery provides similar results with less invasive methods and limited downtime.
Eyelid surgery is the perfect solution for those suffering from crows’ feet or sagging eyelids. The results from this procedure can refresh your appearance and make you look years younger and more energetic. Along with correcting age-related imperfections, the procedure can improve genetic eye conditions such as under-eye bags and sinking eyelids.
This popular procedure can reshape the defining feature of the face—the nose. Dr. Baccaro can utilize the latest surgical techniques to make subtle changes to correct minor imperfections and improve facial balance. They can also make significant alterations to reshape the nose and heighten your facial aesthetic with natural-looking results. Our surgeons perform both open and closed rhinoplasty procedures, depending upon the desired enhancement, and can help repair a deviated septum as well.
Whether through sun exposure or advancing age, the neck area often displays some of the first indications of aging skin. The resultant loose skin, sagging skin, drooping jowls, creases, and double chin affect the appearance of both the face and neck. Neck lift surgery enhances the contours of the neck by tightening the skin and muscles. The improved contours from neck surgery can lead to a stronger jawline and overall improved head and neck area proportions.
Ear reshaping, or otoplasty, may provide a lasting solution for asymmetrical, misshapen or prominent ears. While this procedure is popular among adults, children with ear defects caused by trauma or genetics also benefit. Children’s ears are more conducive to surgical alteration due to their pliable cartilage. In fact, medical experts recommend that patients born with ear imperfections undergo reshaping in their youth to provide surgeons the greatest flexibility.
Dr. Gardner, Lisa, Amy, Nicole, Brittany and all staff are a pleasure. Office is clean and I felt totally safe. Thank you for the wonderful care!
Dr. Gardner and the whole staff is wonderful. I’m very happy.
Dr. Gardner and his staff are all excellent in every way in my opinion. I will definitely recommend him to anyone without reservation and will be a repeat patient for any of my needs. Thank you!
All I can say about Dr. Baccarro is that he is an artist! I am so pleased with my results. He has been wonderful from start to finish. He is patient and kind which makes all the difference when making such important surgical choices for your body. The staff all the way around was great from front office to surgery center!! Special thanks to Lisa one of the nurses who also took such amazing care of me. She is caring, patient and so great at what she does everyday. I could not have been in better hands all the way around. They all get an A++.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I am thrilled with my results
Fantastic experience with all the staff! I was met by Amy, then shown to a room where I met dr Gardner.. who I knew from the start would be my surgeon, he was professional and yet down to earth, looked at my body and just knew what I wanted before I even said it! He met with me twice so that I was absolutely sure of what I was doing. He reassured all my concerns. Lisa his nurse was also amazing, she put me at ease and was highly professional. A few days Pre-op I met Andrea who spent over an hour going through every detail.. preparing me for what would happen how I would feel.. I then saw dr Gardner again who once again made me feel special and just so safe. Day of surgery I met Nicole the nurse who took care of me before the surgery and in recovery, again a wonderfully warm professional person who went above and beyond! My biggest fear was the anesthesia but the anesthesiologist was wonderful, explained everything to me and reassured me I would be drifting off into a comfortable sleep. Post op day 1 I went back for a check up saw dr Gardner and Lisa who calmed me and constantly reassured me that I’ve got this!! Dr Gardner informed me that a procedure I’d had done 21 years previously hadn’t been all I’d thought it had been and he corrected it! What can I say amazing Dr, nurses, staff and Brittany the office manager goes above and beyond. I’m only 3 days post op but I’m sure once I’m 3 months I will be ecstatic with my results! Thank you Dr Gardner and staff for taking such care and making me feel extra special
Dr Gardner is an amazing surgeon. He and his entire team were incredibly professional, competent and caring. They made me feel complete at easy. The surgery and the recovery went extremely well. I trust Dr Gardner and his staff completely and would highly recommend them.

I don’t think Dr. Gardner and his staff could have made me any more comfortable and safe. It’s hard to find a physician as knowledgeable , talented and caring as Dr. Gardner.
