Laguna Niguel & Mission Viejo Plastic Surgery - Mira Aesthetic Surgery Center
I walked through the Laguna Beach Art Festival last summer and couldn't help but notice how many beautiful people there were. Not in a superficial way - just that everyone looked healthy, fit, well put together. Laguna Beach has always had that artistic, bohemian vibe mixed with a certain polish.
One woman I talked to - an artist who'd lived in Laguna for 20 years - told me she'd gotten a boob job the year before. "I thought plastic surgery wasn't for people like me," she said. "But after nursing two kids my breasts were just gone. I wanted to feel like myself again."
That conversation stuck with me. Plastic surgery isn't about vanity. It's about feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Some transgender women or men who want a more defined chest appearance opt for male breast augmentation. We use the same techniques as traditional breast augmentation but tailor the results to create the specific chest contour you want.
Male Pec Implants
Pectoral implants create more defined, muscular-looking chest contours. We place solid silicone implants beneath your pectoral muscles through incisions in your armpits. They feel firm like flexed muscle. Recovery takes about two weeks before returning to work.
Body Sculpting for Your Best Self
Your body changes over time. Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging - it all takes a toll.

Woman from Mission Viejo lost 40 pounds. Did everything right - Weight Watchers, running, lifestyle change. Still had stubborn stomach and thigh fat. "I'm wearing smaller clothes than college but still have problem areas."

Facial Rejuvenation That Works
Your face shows the world who you are. Our facial procedures restore a more youthful appearance while keeping you looking like yourself.
Face Lift Surgery
Sagging cheeks, jowls, neck. Incisions hidden. Natural results, 10 to 15 years younger. Lasts 10+ years.
Neck Lift Surgery
Loose neck skin, bands, excess fat. Smoother, defined jawline.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and sometimes fat from your upper lids. This opens up your eyes and can even improve your peripheral vision. Most bruising and swelling resolve within two weeks.
One of my patients told me she'd been using more and more eyeshadow to try to make her eyes look bigger. After upper blepharoplasty she said "I forgot I even had eyelids."
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat pads sit in your cheeks. Removing them creates more defined, sculpted cheekbones and a slimmer face shape. We make small incisions inside your mouth, so there are no visible scars. Results appear gradually over several weeks as swelling resolves.
Facial Fat Restoration (Fat Transfer to Face)
Fat transfer uses your own fat to restore volume loss in your face. We remove fat from your abdomen or thighs through liposuction, purify it, and carefully inject it into areas that need volume. Common treatment areas include hollow cheeks, deep lines, sunken temples, and thin lips. About 50 to 70 percent of transferred fat survives permanently.
Lip Lift
A lip lift shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip while making your upper lip appear fuller. We remove a small strip of skin just below your nose. The scar sits hidden in the natural crease where your nose meets your face. This creates permanent results, unlike lip fillers which need regular maintenance.
Look Refreshed Without Surgery
Not everyone wants or needs surgery. Our medical spa offers treatments that improve your appearance without going under the knife.
Botox Injections
Relaxes wrinkle muscles. Frown lines, forehead, crow's feet. 10 to 15 minutes. Results 3 to 5 days. Lasts 4 months.
Laguna Beach women get subtle work to maintain natural, refreshed look. Goal is look good, not like you had work done.
Facial Fillers (Dermal Fillers)
Juvederm, Restylane for lips, cheeks, folds, under-eyes. Immediate. Last 6 months to 2 years.
Non-Surgical Nose Job (Liquid Rhinoplasty)
Liquid rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers to reshape your nose without surgery. This works well for small irregularities like a dorsal hump, asymmetry, or a drooping tip. The treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes with immediate results. Effects last about one year.
Vampire Face Lift (PRP)
The Vampire Face Lift uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. We draw a small amount of your blood and concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that stimulate collagen production. We inject the PRP into your face like filler. Results include better skin texture, reduced fine lines, and improved tone.
Spider Vein Treatment
We treat spider veins with sclerotherapy for legs or laser therapy for face. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution that causes the vein to collapse and fade. Laser treatment uses light energy to heat and destroy the vein. Most patients need two to four treatments.

Our medical weight loss programs provide proven solutions with professional support.
Weight Loss Injections
Semaglutide: 10 to 15% loss Tirzepatide: 15 to 20% loss Retatrutide: Newest, impressive
