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.

They also possess a keen sense of artistry that helps make any facial alterations appear balanced, aesthetically appealing and natural. As members of numerous medical associations, Drs. Gardner and Baccaro have earned an unparalleled reputation in the field.
More than 30 years of combined experience has helped establish Dr. Gardner and Dr. Baccaro among the top plastic surgeons in Naples, FL. With proficiency in traditional methods and the latest surgical developments, they have earned a stellar record in producing successful outcomes. 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, Dr. Leopoldo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett, 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, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett 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.
I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you so much for assisting me throughout my time leading up to my surgery last week. You were so helpful and kind and I really appreciate that so much. My surgery day was absolutely seamless thanks to a wonderful and caring staff. I especially appreciate Amber and my morning follow up with Lisa. Both were beyond delightful. Dr. Gardner was also very professional and I am so thrilled with his work. This really has changed my life and I am so thankful for all of you. Stellar medical care is difficult to find these days, especially as a healthcare worker, I have high standards and I am very expectant of quality, professional care. I received all of that and more. You all are a delightful team and worthy of praise. Take care and please know how grateful I am for everyone.
Dr Bonett not only tackled a difficult injury but also gave me 2 different treatment options. He really listens!
Dr. Baccaro is the best Plastic Surgeon in Naples. Not only has he taken great care of my health, and also, I’m very please with the outcome of my surgery. His knowledge & skills gave me a very natural look, just the way I wanted. He is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a Doctor that cares for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient.
Dr. Baccaro is the best! Excellent bedside manner and always takes time to answer any questions. The entire support staff from the front desk to the recovery team go above and beyond.
I am 3 months out from my 4th surgery with Dr. Gardner and if I didn’t think he was the most wonderful and talented plastic surgeon I wouldn’t have come back time after time. In the fall of 2017 he did both my arms to get rid of my “wings”. Both arms were done at the same time and it turned out fantastic. 3 months later he did a tummy tuck. This was not just a nip and tuck….I had a “roll” he removed and again I could not have asked for a better outcome. After a few months, we did a mini face life. This was done without the “knock you out anesthesia”, just some medication which made me not care what was going on. Well that lead to the surgery I am currently recovering from which was a thigh lift. Now everything I have read about thigh lifts say it is very painful as it effects everything you do. Well I am here to say that it was not painful…I only took 3 pain pills after this surgery and again he did both legs at the same time. Dr. Gardner’s staff are the greatest people to work with. They are always there to answer any questions or just to give you the reassurance you need just going through the process. I would recommend Dr. Gardner for anyone who is looking for a wonderfully skilled surgeon who treats every person who comes to his office as if he or she are the only patient he has. He and his staff have truly made my plastic surgery journey a successful and pleasant one.
Amazing! Extremely happy with the result. Wonderful staff. Everything was so well explained and organized. 100% recommend. The best!!
First, I would like to say that my overall experience was FANTASTIC! The entire process was flawless beginning with scheduling my first consultation. The office staff are incredible and make you feel comfortable and welcome. I had my consultation with Dr. Bacarro for a mommy makeover. He went over all of the pros/cons of the entire surgery and what to expect during recovery. He fully understood my desired outcomes and helped me achieve those results. Dr. Baccaros surgical skills are perfection. I continue to have follow-up appointments with him personally instead of a nurse visit. I am incredibly happy with the care I have received from Dr. Bacarro and his entire office staff!
My experience was amazing, Dr Baccaro and his stuff was amazing and my results are incredible
Every step of my breast surgery experience at Naples Plastic Surgery exceeded my expectations. The staff is wonderful, they make you feel welcome and cared for. Dr. Bacarro is a skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner. The outcome is exactly what I wanted.
First off, let me start by saying that my entire experience has been amazing at Naples Plastic Surgery. From the office staff, to the operative staff and even post op, I have been treated like top priority. Dr. Baccaro is an absolutely amazing surgeon. He did a repair on a previous breast augmentation for me. We ended up taking out my implants and doing a lift and reduction, and just let me say.. the results are perfection. I’ve never felt better. I have already scheduled my next procedure with him. Highly recommend!!
